Expect before your expectation.

Expect Amma before your expectation

— Bharata Yatra — 20 dec 2007, Kozhikode
Amma says that her life is like that of a river. flowing all the time — flowing towards all parts of the world. flowing into the humble, into the poor, into the suffering — to awaken, to fulfill, to purify. Amma says that she didn’t become a railway track. she became a river.

Just few days ago she was in London, one week ago she was in California, before she was in Paris… yesterday she was in Manjeri, now she is in Kozhikode. and tomorrow…

I have seen people coming to the ashram from various parts of the world, take 3-4 days to overcome the jet-lag and look and feel fresh again. It takes time to adjust to the climate and surroundings, language, and food. It’s also very difficult to re-set the body clock. Now look at Amma. She holds programs everywhere in the world. She goes from stage to stage –literally! The people traveling with Amma find it hard to keep pace with her. They all take a break or rest while Amma is in full action.

Amma arrived straight from Manjeri to Kozhikode. The devotees were not prepared. They were expecting Amma in the evening. Only around a hundred people were there. As Amma moved though the devotees you could see that many were in tears of joy. By the time the students of Amrita Vidyalayam came prepared to play drums welcoming Amma , she was already in the room.

So next time, expect her a little ahead of your expectation.
