Thank you Amma

Today there was satsang with Amma. It was quite funny…Amma looked so simple…
It is easy to be carried away from the different situation that happen in the Ashram.
There was an happy atmosphere, everyone enjoied the spontaneous way Amma had in communicating with a resident that asked Her a question…
There was a deep intimacy between them…the closeness that comes from an inner relation. The resident wanted to leave the family for good to stay for ever in Amma’s presence, but Amma did not agree, She pointed out that her dharma is still in the family life, that her family needs her support and love, then the situation became a fast interaction of Malayalam talks between them, and the translator could not follow and was lost in the middle. As I do not understand Malayalam, I was just watching the situation, where basically everyone was laughing at every sentence Amma told and every sentence the devotee replied….

Still even if attracted from trying to understand what was happening I tried to dive deep within and remember that we live in the presence of a Divine Being that has decended on earth by mere will, love and compassion to help us. Even if many time I do not understand what happens I felt once more so greatfull just to be there, to have such a blessed life in being physically close to Her, to have this amaising possibility to see Her every day.

Thank you Amma to have entered in my life, to have conquered my heart, to have given me devotion and longhing for the Divine…
