802. Om puratanayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is ancient
Amma, on patience and ego:
"Patience is the one quality that is needed from beginning to end in spiritual life. The shell around the seed has to break before the tree can emerge. Similarly, you have to get rid of the ego before you can know Reality. The guru will devise many tests to see whether the disciple has come to him out of a temporary surge of enthusiasm or out of real love for the Goal."
Om Amriteswariye namah!
