Amma's LOVE

[Guest guest]

I think we are just all very upset at the atrocity that happened and we

can't explain it. Amma is our Mother, and we are all her children. When

something bad happens we naively wish our mother knew and could have prevented

it.

Who are we to know? It is very sad that such an atrocity happened. It hurts

our hearts to see such suffering in the world. It shakes us to the core.

However, we should never doubt Amma's love. She could not have prevented this

earthquake from happening and it pains her greatly to see all the suffering,

She did not wish for it we have to believe that. As spiritual people we

think that bad things can not happen to good people. We want that to be the

truth, but it is not. The first noble truth of the Buddha is that there is

suffering. And right now there is a lot of suffering. Amma's message is that

it

our job to be like Amma and help alleviate suffering as much as we can,

selflessly. I feel helpless watching the TV and reading the news. I am a

student and I have debts and no money to send there and I feel like I can do

nothing and it hurts me. I am so fortunate, my worries are over frivolous

things.

I have never, thank God, known hunger, I have always had Love, and shelter

and clothing and everything every human being should have. I can offer only

my prayers from the deepest part of my heart, I can offer only my surrender to

Amma and to Amma's will. I offer my prayer to alleviate the suffering of

all those who passed and all those suffering now who have lost their families,

who are hungry, who are seeing such bad things I pray I never have to

experience. I pray to alleviate their suffering, to send them some comfort.

It is

not my place to know why such atrocities happened. It shakes me and pains

me, as it does all of us, Mother's children, and I offer my heart in surrender

to Amma.

 

LOVE,
