Om Namah Sivayah,
I am spending a few weeks here in Amma’s Ashram.
I’m asking myself: “What can I say?” I feel it impossible to put into words anything that happens in this ‘magic’ place on the planet. There’s not even a second of wasting time. Amma takes care of each one’s precise necessities at every moment. Sometimes, you get a sweet smile from Her and some other times you may get a look from Her right into your eyes. Meanwhile, She puts you in situations that are difficult for you to manage and She also sends some people you have problems communicating with, to let you see how your mind reacts. This way, the ‘vasanas’ show up so you can see them.

Right now, I’m sitting under one of the big trees by the main Temple. In front of me, there is this never ending queue of Indians waiting for Amma’s Darshan. It’s amazing!! They’re all ages. From very old ones to very little babies whose patient mothers hold them for hours until they get to Amma’s arms. I can’t describe the feeling I get while seeing Her taking care and embracing so many people with such generosity, happiness, and love….

I came on July 29th with my 16 year old boy Daniel, affected by Downe’s Syndrome. I think Amma has given us a lesson through him – What society refuses as a retarded person, to Her, is the most beautiful human being in the world. No ego. Just love and innocence. He’s feeling at home here under Amma’s protection, love, and joy. We’ll go back home to Catalonia (Spain) next Wednesday. However, we don’t feel sad because we know we’ll take Amma with us into our hearts so She will continue taking care of Daniel and myself.
