If you could take on another life form and come and visit Amma, what would it be?<\/p>\n
This evening, in Pondicherry, a beautiful black butterfly with what looked like yellow and red markings was fluttering around the stage during darshan.\u00a0 Not just once, but a number of times it came.\u00a0 Over the course of a few hours.\u00a0 Where did it go in between visits?\u00a0 Perhaps to tell a few friends to come.\u00a0 Or to go off and sit on a flower of one of the many decorations that covered the stage and bask in the nectar of bliss it had collected while flying around.\u00a0 It is so nice sitting on stage when all of a sudden this beautiful butterfly comes dances around for a while.<\/p>\n
We’re just like the butterflies.\u00a0 She sees only our beautiful colors – our hearts, our smiles, our bhakti.\u00a0\u00a0 We come to Amma in our human forms. We come out of darshan wanting to flutter around like the butterfly – or to sit and meditate on the lotus flower of our hearts.<\/p>\n
