language is a barrier
13 Oct 2007, Amritapuri
arjun and his wife live in the ashram. it was last sunday when arjun and sampurna (from Austria) did the padapuja. amma had been giving darshan since 10.am. at the end of darshan at around 3.00 am their turn came to do the padapuja.
i was by the side of amma helping them do the puja. there was no tension or hurry on arjun’s face. amma was also giving more time even though she was sitting there the whole day. they did abhishekam – pouring milk, curd, ghee, honey, water on amma’s holy feet. in fact they were pouring love. then they offered a sari, then mala… then they did arati. arjun kept looking at amma during arati. and amma too was looking into the eyes of arjun. not talking, just looking at each other. that was soooo beautiful. in fact throughout their puja, nor during their darshan they never said any word to amma.
two days later i saw arjun. he was still intoxicated -laughing and crying, hugging me he said “around amma, any language is a barrier”.
i pondered over it. true. what language can describe love? he had crossed the barriers and plunged into love.
even after five days when i saw him he still was in bliss.

well, you know i love Amma so much and I so much wish that I could speak Malayalam and talk to Her. I can’t understand what she says unless it is in kannada or english. I think I have to open up my heart and be open to the communication of the heart, not with words.
what a lucky couple they are at 3 am its a bhramma muhoortham at this precious timing they have the chances to do it which is every amma’s devotees yearning for this movement among them some of them who has lucky enough get the chance still how many of us doing it with the right degree of tune, what they had done. there is no wonder after 5 days he was remain in blissful mood in his life time too.

Yes Arjuna, you are fortunate and quite right in being under intoxication of bliss during that divine silent communication. Even i too usually do have such spells of intoxication when i am @ link-up with Amma. I very much wish that the chain links of those memories should never fade or erase; on the other hand it should become seamless and continuous
