851. Om janma-mrtyu-jara-tapta-jana-visranti-dayinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who gives peace and repose to those afflicted by birth, death, and decrepitude.
A strange November it has become. A November that I sometimes forget is the second last month of this miserable year. And every time I find myself on the brink of tears, I remind myself of Amma's words: "Whether you're happy or sad, time will pass." The choice is mine. I might look back on this year as the year of painful change or as a pathway to peace. The choice is entirely mine. I have already decided on my spiritual path. I have oft said the words but maybe this was the test to truly mean it: I lay down my life by Your feet Amma. Do with it as You think best.
I recently read these words spoken by film director Shekhar Kapur about Amma. So, so true: 'How can you say a few words about Amma? Actually, it is better to say nothing because Amma is everything, and then she is nothing because she can become nothing whenever she wants. There is no description that anybody has ever been able to find for the description of the infinite except to say is that ‘it is.’So all I can say about Amma is that, 'Amma is… Amma is love..'
You are Love, Amma. And so, what I have lost, I will find in my total and complete surrender to You!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
