906. Om tattvādhikāyai namah: I bow down to Amma who transcends all cosmic categories
For us, Amma is the omniscient, omnipresent Mother of the universe who transcends all the tattvas. As each name breaks down the Devi's various qualities, we realise, as best as we can, that Amma is the all-pervading presence in our lives. All we need to know and practise is 'surrender'. But the mind, joining together with the ego, plays tricks on us and tells us we can surpass any situation; that our next breath is ours; that we are the ultimate doers. I have had many a knock on my head from the universe to tell me what happens to the best laid plans of mice and men! But surrender is just such a difficult concept to grasp, because from our very birth we have been taught independence. Surrender is laying down of ourselves at Amma's feet and realising that we can only see till the end of the road whereas Amma can see the entire route. And more. Surrender is knowing that we are in the presence of Divinity Herself. Surrender is understanding that even our next breath is a gift from Amma. May we learn to surrender completely to Amma who in Her divinity and grace, will engulf us in Her unending love.
Om Amriteshwariye Namah!
