Dear Divine Brothers & Sisters, Pranams to all !
The need for a message arises only in the absence of a role model
who cannot convey the message through their life, their whole
being. Fortunately, we have a Great Master like Amma, from whom
we can learn and experience the numerous aspects of life. However,
I will try to pen down a few lines in the light of this unique
phenomenon known as Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Her life and teachings.
'Can you bow down, be humble and remain as a beginner until the
end of your life? Then the gates of your heart will ever remain
open to receive true knowledge', says Amma.
Aggressiveness and ego are the slogans of the modern society.
People believe that all the achievements of life are nothing but
the success of human intellect, also known as ego.
The fact that the big leaps in science and technology are the
attainments of human intellect cannot be denied. But the truth
that science is still groping in darkness to unfold the secrets
of creation should also be accepted. If you really want to enter
into the world of knowledge, the treasure chest of wisdom, be
humble and receptive.
There is infinite capacity within us. We are not using even an
infinitesimal portion of our power. Be open. Don't underestimate
anyone, any situation or circumstance of life. Learn to listen
not only with your external ears but with your inner ears also,
that is the heart, the center of your existence. There is a message
in all experiences of life. Be patient and penetrate a little
more beneath the surface of experiences and you will see and receive
the hidden message. Don't give up hope because of the failures
in life. Be optimistic. Have faith in God and life, and then success
will be yours.
With love and prayers -
Ever in Amma's Service,
Swami Amritaswaroopananda Puri
