The Dream Flower Of Our Hearts<\/p>\n
20 Nov 2007,<\/p>\n
How Amma is making our lives a joyous festival\u2026 the lives of multitudinous children, all over the globe \u2026 Simply ineffable! Incredible! Impossible even to understand!<\/p>\n
Till two years ago, whenever Amma went on long foreign tours, poor us here with no idea whatsoever of Her (tight! busy!) schedule, would sit brooding, complaining how \u201cShe left us behind and went away\u2026.\u201d\u00a0 We would rationalize with our Egos at the center,\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cSo, by going away for a long time, She is teaching us to see Her within,\u201d and so on till our poor brains collapsed in exhaustion.<\/p>\n
These two years, thanks to Her Grace, we have been able to see Her through the web-cast.\u00a0 ‘Within and Without- such distinction became a farce!<\/p>\n
She was telling a relative of an ashramite in Holland that Her Amritapuri children were fond of Amma\u2019s Devi Bhava and so She set up the web-castings \u2013 which allows us to interact with Her.\u00a0 She added, \u201cI, too, can see them, so I keep this laptop near me.\u201d Amma fondly showed it to him.<\/p>\n
Surely Her love is incomparable in very detail.<\/p>\n
Only the other day, during Her program in Dublin, we saw Amma complaining about the alienation: The camera that was capturing Her image was placed a distance away from Her in the audience.\u00a0 It was directly facing Her so that we could have a full view of Her form.\u00a0 But the laptop that gave Her a view of us was sitting next to Her on the side \u2013 which meant that\u00a0 She had to send us, Her children in India, signals, gestures, ummas\u2026. over the heads of the audience there!. Amma found it so difficult to communicate with us, seeing us on her right \u2013 looking down, and then looking at the cam high \u2013in front\u2026 in totally different directions. Amma wanted the web cam closer to Her! She felt Her children\u2019s nearness like that! Oh, so sweet, Amma!<\/p>\n
So next time, in Paris, the old system was resumed. Yeah, we too here felt, though the view was not really photographic, it was intimate: intimate to see Amma so close to the cam, Her form like a rising mountain\u2026 on the large screen\u2026 placed in the Kali temple.<\/p>\n
And it was not for nothing: it was for a bigger treat that Amma made this change back.<\/p>\n
You know what it was?<\/p>\n
When Her satsang was being translated, Amma relaxed her posture, loosened her folded legs. She was now touching Her own left toes with Her right hand. Soon more of that little Lotus appeared. Was it Gautam, the kind one, who was managing the camera? So There! Soon we got to see the beautiful left foot of Amma, the dream flower of our hearts…on the large screen\u2026..<\/p>\n
Amma pulled her Feet back.<\/p>\n
It was a glimpse, but a special gift.<\/p>\n
