907. Om tattva-mayyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is reality Itself or Shiva Himself.
Amma is the only reality we know. She cuts through all the maya that surrounds us and shows us our true selves: Sat cit ananda. If we follow Amma's teachings, we may well learn that all the obstacles and hardships that come our way are the debt we are repaying for the sins of our previous births. Amma is helping us get rid of it all so that we can experience bliss in this life. Amma is the only reality I wish to live by in my life. I know when life throws me curveballs I get upset and ask Amma how She can do this to me! Why would a Mother let Her child suffer? Does my Mother not love me enough? Does She not see what pain She is putting me through? Would I allow my child to undergo any suffering if I can help it? That's when, much against my momentary mood, I force myself to pray. I tell Amma that She is the all-knowing divine Mother. I have to force my faith out from hiding and talk it back into myself. I have to teach myself - yet again - to trust that Amma will only do what is best for me! Because She is my reality and She will take me ahead with as much care, through the wheel of life.
Om Amriteshwariye namah!
