Last night Amma came to bhajans with one the old residents of the ashram in Her arms. A lady that has in her old age become as innocent as a child again, and that is exactly how Amma interacts with her.<\/p>\n
There was also a lot of children sitting on the stage. One kid was kicking me in the knee all the time and asking how many more songs to go. I think he was restless to go and play with his friends. That\u00b4s the way children are. I think sometimes our mind is like that also \u2013 so restless and unwilling to tune in to Amma\u00b4s presence, wanting to go and play about in the samsara created by itself through our desires.<\/p>\n
I think if we can combine these qualities by making our mind innocent like a child\u00b4s yet at the same ensuring that it remains concentrated and solid, we will be well on our way to the Goal.<\/p>\n
The bhajans were fantastic. The bliss of hearing Amma\u00b4s bhajans must be one of the highlights of my life. Devi Bhagavathi we don\u00b4t hear that often these days.<\/p>\n
She sang:<\/p>\n
Ambadi Kanna<\/p>\n
Ini Oru Janmam<\/p>\n
Devi Bhagavathi Shantipurne<\/p>\n
Rote jag Me<\/p>\n
Om Namah Shivaya<\/p>\n
Pahi Pahi Devi<\/p>\n
Ambe Galanu<\/p>\n
