I thought that hrim meant truth?

I was taught that HRIM is the Seed of Illusion (Maya or Bhuvanishvari),

KRIM is the Seed of Transformation (Kali), HUM is the mantra of Armor

(Protection), and SHRIM is the Seed of Abundance (Lakshmi).

 

I don't necessarily see a correspondence to magnetic force, electrical

force, heat, and delight. The Seed of Delight is usually KLIM (Krishna

and Radha). The Seed of Heat is usually RAM (Surya or Rama).

 

What is your source for this interpretation?

Aloha manoj, Om Namah Shivaya

If you had a dream and Amma appeared and said "Lets do something

fun..." what would you want to do with Her.

Maybe you have heard this before that Amma says where there is love

there is never boredom. Perhaps there is a way that we all can be

giving more love to expand our heart more and feel the blissful

refreshment of Devi. Amma says meditation should expand the

heart...this small self who knows nothing suggests maybe you could

include some innocent playfulness with our dIVINEmother in your

meditation practice. Play like a child with her and you will see how

She responds.

THE WRISTBANDS FOR MOTHER'S RETREATS HAVE BEEN REPEATING THIS MESSAGE

OF HERS FOR YEARS , THE CHILDLIKE INNOCENCE DEEP WITHIN YOU IS GOD.

If you have forgotten how to let your imagination loose, try to be

around children. Do you have children in your family that could teach

you how to play? Amma also says that to be around children is the

next best thing to being with God because they are seeing through

divine eyes, their vasanas have not yet taken hold.

She also says that spirituality is nothing but the ability to face

adeverse circumstances with a smile. Like most masters, She always

recommends laughter as a cure for the disease of seriousness.

One time,On a North indian tour with Mother, our train was going

through wartorn regions and many were afraid we would die. Amma said

if you are afraid of death, go home... I only wnated to be close to

her if I was going to die but definitely an air of seriousness

prevailed over the tour.

Amma usually invites ten -twelve devotees to Her train car at atime

until She has met with everyone on the tour but this particular time,

my first train trip with mother, circumstances separated Amma's car

from the rest of the train cars so there could be no passage.

Everyone was so sad...We kept our window shutter closed because of

the possible shooting. At each stop, I would look out and se Amma's

hand extending form Her train window, touching the trhongs of people

gathered. After many stops like this in the middle of the night, i

peeked out and I did not see Mothers hand. I heard people outside,

saying Amma's coming...our train car was the first She would walk

through and it wasa mess and my roomate was sleeping. i wanted to

straighten it up but i wanted to wake her up too. I shook in her

upper bunk across the passageway."amma's coming" i said excitedly to

her dazed sleepiness and started to straighten my bed. i looked up

and there She was- standing there looking at me. FOR AN ETERNITY!

No-one else was around. My roomate was still up in her bunk and

Amma's attendants were probably trying to find her -i dont know but i

dint think about it... all i thought is what is she doing? She was

doing nothing. She was waiting for me to do something. I didnt know

what to do. I didnt feel anything at all. So I told myself, or She

told me inside, "Dont be afraid of Her. This is your time to do

whatever your heart wants with MOther. Pretend it is a dream, what

would you do?I would hug her.."I answered myself as i witnessed

myself flung across the room to embrace Her. i sunk into Her like a

waterbed of eternal light. She did not move. Nothing moved. All was

still peaceful full.

Suddenly the world closed in around us. Amma, someone called.Amma

went towards them, her attendants and swamini caught up with Her,

pushing me out of the way. I stayed behind them as Amma walked

through each train car. in each car, the fallen dejected bored faces

rose up smiling, spilling over joy like flowers to the morning sun.

It was such a profound witnessing.

after a while i was left behind, We each tried to make our car the

best car for devi to visit in, hoping on her way back through the

train, She would stop for a spell and give a satsang or two.

The train car Devi chose to reside in was the one where they were in

full bhajan session.

But, She helped us all get our spaces in order to welcome Her...

i hope this story give syou inspiration to act out your longing for

Mother.

I hope this story gives me inspiration to prepare for her unexpected

arrival in my little life at any time She chooses and that I find the

inspiration to clean clean clean this home She has given me to live

in so that She will be happy to reside here with me.

I have a deep resistance to cleaning-procrastination and fatigue are

the spirits that have overwhelmed since i was forced to clean so much

as a child...

I must learn that Goddess is just as much present in the pile as the

pillar.

Thank you all for expressing your honesty and vulnerability and

allowing me to do the same,

may amma pluck these vasanas for Her own designs,

OM AMMA

Namah Shivaya,

 

This made me remember... Last year, I was telling a long-time devotee/friend of

mine about my messy house, how I hate cleaning, etc. She said, "You better

clean it in case Amma decides to stop by!" She meant it, too! At the time, I

thought, "Amma's not going to 'stop by' my house outside Austin, TX!" But you

know what? After a year of stories and developing faith, I believe She would!

So, now I make much more effort.

 

In Amma,

Gabriela

 

P.S. Effort doesn't always mean success in this case!

Based on one experience, this sounds like a good intention. One time I reverted

to being a 3 or 4-year-old & had an imaginary tea party with Amma, in a little

meadow clearing in a woods. I served Her chai in the prettiest ever china, then

offered her freshly picked lilacs & rasberries (both my favorites during

childhood) sprinkled with sugar & in milk. It was wonderful, very healing and

not at all boring.
