OM Amriteswaryai Namaha
\nToday was another interesting and lovely day around Amma. I missed
\nout the question answer session with Amma due to work and landed up at
\nthe ashram during lunch time and was lucky enough to just be there for
\nthe last few words by Amma and then the concluding bhajan of “Hari bol
\nHari bol” which Amma sang in Her usual sweet way.
\nRight after that got a spot near Amma’s seat, (thanked my stars).
\nAmma was doing Her work ( giving darshan) while I sat watching Her.
\nThere was a western family who had lost a dear one and came for Amma’s
\ndarshan. Amma immediately identified with their sorrow and I saw Her
\nshed tears along with the family. She consoled them and hugged them for
\nquite a while. Then darshan proceeded and another person came with a
\nhappy news to Amma (couldn’t figure out exactly what it was) and
\nimmediately Amma identified with that and laughed with him and shared
\nhis joy.
\nSeeing this I remembered what swamiji says about Amma, that She is just
\na reflection of our own feeling and She can switch between joy and
\nsorrow at will and She does that so we feel comfortable and get the
\nsecurity that Amma is with us in our experiences.
\nAlthough Amma is above all experiences (happiness or sorrow etc) She
\nstill comes down to our level, to let us share our happiness or sorrow
\nwith Her and get close to Her. Times like these make us remember Her
\ngreatness and feel the compassion She shows by coming down to our level
\nof mundane existence.
\nNamah Shivaya
\nSudarshan, India.
