688. Om raja-pitha-nivesita-nijasritayai namah: I bow down to Amma who establishes on royal thrones those who take refuge in Her
I used to read the meaning of this mantra every time I did my prayers and get excited. I take refuge in Her and so Amma would establish me on a royal throne. I knew it didn't mean a real royal throne but something big for me! How life changes you. How, as we grow older, our aspirations change. Something royal for me now, is being closer to Amma. That's the royal throne. Having something to do all the time, for Amma. Being of use to society. Doing something beneficial. Every day Amma changes my outlook to life. She makes it a little less materialistic and a little more inward. She adds stress to one layer and introspection to another. She makes me think and rethink my choices. She makes me question the very basis of my morality. She makes me analyse my choices and re consider my actions. She sends angels and friends who watch over me. She sends a thought my way; an intuition. I beg Her for resolve and it comes, slowly, steadily, with it's own share of lessons. While I may mutter under my breath at how tough all this is, I know the destination will totally be worth it!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
