The Simple Greatness of Amma

[Guest guest]

To turn common things into items of beauty, to pour grace into the style of

service, to be calm where the circumstance calls for the play of anger, to be

patient where the occasion demands impatience, to be long-suffering where a

quick reaction seems to achieve the end in view, to be kind, helpful, generous,

artistic, angelic, graceful, devotional, to bend feeling into an attitude of

adoration given to a high and elevating Presence, - these are constitutional,

natural, intrinsic with, and characteristic of, women. Nature has richly endowed

them to make of homes fields of happiness, growth, inner spiritual unfoldment,

and little paradises in their own right.
