Amma: the meaning of our lives!

908. Om tat-tvam-artha-svarūpinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the meaning of tat (that) and tvam (you)

As for me, Amma defines everything, She gives meaning to our very lives. Everything that happens around me and within me is but a play by Amma. I just imagine Her laughing heartily, wondering why I take myself so seriously when our innate nature is Joy and Amma Herself resides in us. I for one certainly need to remember that Amma is the architect of my life. When even the next breath isn't a certainty, what ego drives me to think that I can steer the vehicle of my life? Experience has taught me that the sands of time shift our fate within seconds; that absolutely everything is but an ephemeral scent in the winds that gently toss us through life. Each of us is searching for our light tower, for that beam of light that will bring us safely ashore. Amma is the only safety. Amma should be the end all and be all of our lives. I hope to be able to chant Her name every second of the day so I may never forget to live in gratitude of the fact that I have found shelter at Her feet. She is my meaning, She is my purpose.

Om Amriteshwariye namah!
