sit quiet and relax
18 jan 2008, covai
In the evening when amma was talking there were lots of noises. sounds of people talking and talking. she finished her talk started meditation. amma asked every one to keep silence. because they were all trying to jump into the darshan queue. but it would take another one hour to start darshan, after amma’s bhajans.
amma insisted that everybody should keep silence. hearing the ‘talking crowd’ amma said that when you are in a train there is no point in running forward to reach your destination faster. the train will take you there. only when it reaches the destination, you can get there. once we are in the train, we should put our luggage down, sit and relax.
swami ramakrishna who was translating amma’s words tried to make the people sit quiet. but it was in vain– especially on the ladies side. at last he told in the mic, “even if you dont meditate, its ok, just sit quiet. that itself if great meditation for you.”
all laughed including amma.
yes the external discipline helps to discipline the internal.

It brought me to my school day memories. Before teacher approach a class, the noice never fades inside there. Here Amma is the teacher to guide us… to make us disciplined internally/externally. Yes, external discipline only helps to perfect internal.
Now is the blessed time for Tamilians, since Swami Ramakrishnananda Puri is there to open the hearts of children of AMMA and bliss them out in laughter …
Thank you Swami Dyhanamrita for your honesty about how the people were acting while Blessed Amma was giving Satsang. “While the Blessed Golden Truth-laden rain soaked through and through all who came, many held their umbrellas up to shield themselves from what they thought was ordinary rain.”
How sad it will be some day when Amma has left her body behind and all of those who remembered the many, many times they themselves where in the company of a True SatGuru in Blessed Amma yet, they were busy talking and thinking of other things. Then it will be too late.
(Amma herself has said this very statement many times.)
May we all take advantage of the most unprecedented Gift from Heaven… our True SatGuru’s presence in this world, Right Now.

Praying to AMMA to bring out more SANJAYA / NARADA [ epitomes of Excellent News Reporters in our Puranas ] qualities in u, especially during the two Bhramastanam consecration ceremonies scheduled to be held in this Bharath Parikrama.These reports really help the read that we are NOT physically far from Omnipresent AMMA.
Our beloved Amma teaches us not only to be quiet from outside but we should be quiet and alert from within.
That is a bit humorous 🙂 Perhaps in their excitement they forgot the darshan happens the minute you enter her orbit. Just as the magnetic energy field around the sun influences all the planets that surround it…such is Amma.
