Guru Kripa hi kevalam

Today is Guru Poornima and i am thinking of ammachi, she is with me always but today i am thinking of her as Guru, I remember the day when i got my mantra diksha and then all the times i have spent with her flashed in front my eyes ..

From the countless treasure of her , i pick up one such wonderful day which happens to be my first guru poornima with her in her physical presence and i have a picture of the same day its from the year 2006 Guru poornima at Iowa..

This Year amma is in US and she is in Boston today ..

Today I am reminded again that when a satguru like amma, gives a mantra, she gives it with a powerful sankalpa, that it will benefit the receiver.

The satguru makes a commitment to lead us to the goal of human existence.

I see the commitment from her side all the time , but where is my commitment ???

as i ask this question, and before i go to the guilt trip ...suddenly, i remembered something that i was reading in the book, " Eye of Wisdom" where swami ji had written that amma is in the mother form where she doesnt put us through stringent tests, because she knows that most of us would not pass the tests, amma understands the nature of the world and also the nature of the human beings, their attitudes and habits, In todays worls, spirituality is difficult product to sell, she makes a joke and says, even if the god was himself offering enlightement to us when we were watching our fav TV show, we might Say, Oh God this thing will not be aired again, You are eternal, would u mind coming back later ??
There are many things in the world which compete for our attention, so amma is actually offering a package deal, when we go to amma with a desire or a problem , she helps us to fulfill our desire or helps us solve the problem and at the same time she will slowly help us to turn our mind towards spirituality
Its difficult to promote good things to our mind ,
But Amma makes her products - LOVE- COMPASSION and SERVICE -- so IRRESISTIBLE !!

Presence of master will create conducive environment to manage our minds which is one of the basic principles of spirituality..

Thank you for the gift of you, may your love and grace be bestowed on all ...

May all the beings in world be happy and at peace :)

Wondering soul in the journey called Life, wonders if its soul will reach its ultimate goal, will he be able to know its true self.

Guru kripa hi kevalam ... guru kripa hi kevalam ... guru kripa hi kevalam ...

Om Amriteshwaryee Namah
