Refuge in a Satguru!

689. Om rajya-laksmyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the embodiment of the prosperity of the world.

Just one thing for today:
"One may ask, “The scriptures say that God is within us and not different from our true nature. Then why should we seek refuge in a Satguru?” It is true that God is within us. We are, in truth, the embodiment of Sachidananda—pure existence, pure consciousness, pure bliss. But have we experienced this truth? No, it is being veiled by our ego. We hold the key to the massive treasure chest within us, but that key has become rusty due to a long period of lack of use. Just as we remove rust from a regularly key by applying grease, so too we have to remove the rust of our ahamkara and vasanas—our sense of “I” as a limited body and mind and our deep-rooted tendencies. This will help us realize our true nature. It is for this purpose that we seek refuge in a Satguru.": AMMA
'Nuff said! We should be eternally grateful that Amma has agreed to be our Satguru:)

Om Amriteswariye namah!
