It is so nice to see people change in Amma’s Love.We had an IAM class last week. There were about 80 people – as usual from all over the world, from the East to the West.One lady came up to me during a break and asked me, “I do not know whether my question is right or not but I just did not feel anything when I met Amma. It was my first meeting with Amma and people told me that I was supposed to feel something, but I just did not.”I talked to her and told her to take her time in deciding what she wanted. I talked to her of Amma and what She does. Anyway the lady came to me the second day too and again talked on the same subject and said that she felt that the ashram was not the place for her and how she felt stifled here and did not feel anything. Again we had a long conversation.The next day after bhajan Amma is walking down from the hall to Her room and as usual She extends Her hands to Her children on the sides. And in the midst of all the ashram residents and college students I see this lady laughing and calling to Amma and extending her hand to touch Amma!She came and talked to me again tonight with another person who had just arrived today, he too was new to the ashram. She felt that he would appreciate the IAM class and came to ask if we had another class scheduled this week. She seemed very happy. As we talked she told me that things had changed with her. I told her that I had been witness to some of the change – I had seen her reaching out to Amma. And wanting to know her feelings now, I asked her what had changed with her. She said, “Everything!” Wow.She is supposed to leave tomorrow but says that she doesn’t quite know whether she will leave as she now feels that there are so many things here, so many reasons to stay a little longer…I was happy – one does feel a bit sad when someone cannot experience Amma and you do feel happy when you see people connecting with Amma – Amma an ever changing, ever growing, endless experience.- Nijamrita
