The deepest Love?
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…”
Nice moment spent with Mother. Contrary to the common thought that language is an interference with understanding, around amma, any language is a barrier. Mother wants us to use the language of Love and to plunge into Love. If our heart communicate with Mother’s heart, then words are of no use.
Lovely story.
Beautiful story; thanks to the writer.
The story is lovely! I am a Malayalee born and brought up out of Kerala, my Malayalam is quite lousy. Amma has teased me many times and I used to feel sad but now I do not bother anymore because my unique Malayalam allows me to share more laughs with my beloved Amma. 🙂 Amma looks through us, into our hearts and minds, so I think language is not even needed to communicate with Her. But Amma talks to us to make us happy anyway. She is the best Mother and Guru we could ask for. Jai Ma!
I used to also think of the same that I should learn Malayalam to be able to converse with AMMA. But then I realised that AMMA is omnipresent and she knows everything whether we say or not. So always keeping ourselve focused on her is our true prayer.
I have been wondering why there is no new posts in the blog for the last few days. We miss the tours posts here…
In different occasions we found AMMA reading or speaking many other languages individually to devotees which are limits. These are all AMMAS maya (Leela). AMMAs own language is pure LOVE and that LOVE is unique and Divine.
I was wondering why news updates are not seeing in Ammas site. We all missed the photographs and news updates from Amma’s Kerala tour (Ernakulam, Palakkad and Trichur).
P.L.E.A.S.E U.P.D.A.T.E
Thank you for that lovely post.
We ammas children at Muscat and all other parts of the world miss the news updates photographs from Amma’s Brahmastanam Maholsavam held at Ernakulam, Palakkad and Trichur. We pray that this will come soon in the web site.
Thankyou My Guru Blessed Amma. You always speak the absolute Truth to us. You always show the perfect way to live and be. You are the most perfect model for all of us at every moment in our daily lives.
No more Sky-Flowers for me, only the dust under your Lotus Feet.
I too have thought that I needed to learn Malayalam. But the Mother and child analogy is perfect!! But then Amma is perfect!
Amma heard our prayers. We are extremely happy to see the photographs of Ernakulam Brhamastanamaholsavam today morning.Hope the photographs of Palakkad and Thrissur will follow soon.
language is no barrier when we are with amma….even silence speaks volumes when in front of amma….
missing amma badly…learning to cope without her physical presence…all i have are the beautiful memories of padapuja at ernakulam brahmasthanam festival….though amma is now thousands of miles away, beyond seas and mountains, she resides right here in my heart!!!
