We on tour with Amma are learning this lesson intensely – to live in the present, whether on the journey or in the destination. While our straight-jacket mind thinks of program places as the real events of the tour, it calculates the distance between places and time of journey etc. Sometimes more than even the program place we lose ourselves in thinking that once the bus stops we have to rush to secure a place for our mats. All for a stay as brief as one or two days! Sometimes mistaking it for the end of our lives.<\/p>\n
Amma\u2019s tours break this habit of ours. We stop on the way be it day or dark in a field by the road. We spend time leisurely in question answer sessions, singing, joking, eating and so on. This we do, not within any fixed schedule, but as Amma\u2019s sweet will decides. This is as joyous as Amma\u2019s darshan sessions in programs.<\/p>\n
The journey becomes as meaningful as the destination, as joyful too. Every minute of the journey has become valuable and valid.
\nIn how many ways Amma is penetrating into our lives! How can we ever express our gratitude to Her enormous compassion?!\u00a0 Can there be another or better opportunity for our human lives!<\/p>\n
