Recently and for reasons out of our control, the web-team has not been able to update you with tour news, or to post new items on the site. To partially fill this gap and being away from Amritapuri at present, I will try to write short entries on the blog, sharing some past inspiring moments with or around Amma that I was blessed to witness or experience in the past few years…
So, this is now the first such ‘short inspiring story with Amma’:
This happened maybe 10 years ago. We were traveling with Amma on a long Indian tour and we had stopped near a lake for a tea stop with Her. Amma had reached the place before the buses, and I was one of the first to come out of the bus, run and join Amma were she was sitting. Only 3 or 4 people were around Her.
An american devotee reached Amma just before me and in a very innocent and emotional way she shared with Amma what was the source of a tremendous sadness for her:
“Amma, she said, I feel so sad that I don’t know Malayalam. I feel that I miss so much from your precious words, because I don’t understand your language. Why is it so? Why I am so unlucky and so unfortunate to not have been born as a keralite like you? This is making me so sad!!”
Looking a Her with deep love and compassion, Amma gave the following answer that was translated by a brahmachari present there:
“Daughter, don’t you know what is the most precious and deep love relation that we experience in human life? It is the relation between the mother and her baby. In that love, words are not used to express feelings, yet the innocence and purity of that love is felt so deeply.”
The devotee (and all those present) sat speechless imbibing Mother’s mood as she was saying those profound words… “Daughter, Amma added, it is that kind of love that Amma wants you to have with Her. In this love, words or language are not used or needed…”
