    It is White, Pleasant. Rich with butter. Sweet. Reminds AMMA…

    I really don’t know , but i like them… may be the sweetness, …

    Because it is sweet and it requires less effort to eat them. Everyone likes sweet things in life, that is the reason why we all have come to Amma. Like an Icecream/Chocolate, Amma is soooooooooooo sweet.

    Maya, in the form of eatables !

    Amma Herself is chocolate and ice-cream for me!
    Do I still have to answer why I like them?

    It is every child’s favourite and I truly become crazy for it like an innocent child gorging everything that comes my way, but surely within the limits. The chocolate Amma gives is soooo sweeeeeeet, like her.

    Because we do not enjoy pain.
    Chocolate & Ice cream are small fractions representing the Bliss of the truth that is hidden by the clouds of ignorance.
    This is why we chase seeming pleasure.

    Because Amma eats ice cream during the retreats in the US
    Because Amma gives us chocolate kisses
    Because chocolate has natural caffeine
    Because it’s not such a bad vasana vs. others
    Because Green and Black’s white chocolate, and Sunspire Sundrops are awesome – they empty my wallet every time I’m back in the US.

    Both of them gives a feeling of love

    Just share both of them, just one or many. How can one convey the relish expect experiencing it? For the answer’s sake, I would say, it’s delicious, dainty and delicate. Not much work on the teeth, yet tasty …

    Because they’re sweet!

    The mind is most of the time a trouble maker and makes a lot of noise. When eating some chocolate or delicious ice cream we can enter a temporary peaceful state and forget about all the daily pain.
    When eating it in a conscious way it can be a tasteful meditation!

    Because it is sweet, soft, smooth, and cool. There is a burst of flavor that dissapates rapidly, leaving me wanting more. It is soooooo good! But i have not had any in a long time.

    I like chocolates and ice creams because each time I have them, they give pleasure to the sense of taste….

    Chocolate and icecream are amazing, sweet, and delcious. So delicate and tasty at the same time. It is tasty and makes you want more. It caters to your tastebuds.

    Because just like love, they can be shared and is liked alike by most of them starting from kids to elderly people… Just like how difficult it is to explain the experience of a moment of bliss spent with Amma, it is difficult to explain in words the “why” question behind the liking of chocolate and icecream…it can only be experienced…

  18. maalanair

    Just like sripati states….chocolates for prasad and ice cream for dessert when Amma serves dinner to us during the Canadian retreats as well. 🙂 Anything from Amma is ……………………..yum!!!!

  19. sureshbalaraman

    my tongue likes it and sends the happy signal to my brain and i am happy

  20. ThankamaniR

    Because both of them are so sweet and after eating, there is no seperate existence for the both.It will merged with pure self.Like a salt doll went deep into the ocean to measure the depth of the Ocean.Same manner we have to eat and drink our beloved Lord .Then we can experience the sweetness of the chocalate and ice cream
