There&#8217;s not even a second of wasting time. Amma takes care of each one&#8217;s precise necessities at every moment. Sometimes, you get a sweet smile from Her and some other times you may get a look from Her right into your eyes. Meanwhile, She puts you in situations that are difficult for you to manage and She also sends some people you have problems communicating with, to let you see how your mind reacts. This way, the \u2018vasanas\u2019 show up so you can see them.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, I\u2019m sitting under one of the big trees by the main Temple. In front of me, there is this never ending queue of Indians waiting for Amma\u2019s Darshan. It\u2019s amazing!! They\u2019re all ages. From very old ones to very little babies whose patient mothers hold them for hours until they get to Amma\u2019s arms. I can\u2019t describe the feeling I get while seeing Her taking care and embracing so many people with such generosity, happiness, and love&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I came on July 29th with my 16 year old boy Daniel, affected by Downe\u2019s Syndrome. I think Amma has given us a lesson through him \u2013 What society refuses as a retarded person, to Her, is the most beautiful human being in the world. No ego. Just love and innocence. He\u2019s feeling at home here under Amma\u2019s protection, love, and joy. We\u2019ll go back home to Catalonia (Spain) next Wednesday. However, we don\u2019t feel sad because we know we\u2019ll take Amma with us into our hearts so She will continue taking care of Daniel and myself.<\/p>\n<p>Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu<\/p>\n<p>Maria \u2013 Catalonia, Spain<br \/>\n7 Sep 06<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Om Namah Sivayah, I am spending a few weeks here in Amma&#8217;s Ashram.
