Re:To Vipin on Airplane Ride

[Guest guest]

i had this fear of flying from childhood. wen i boarded an aircraft after a long

while, for an overseas trip, had this experience...

 

as the plane started started accelerating up the run way, i closed my eyes tight

& held on to Amma. around midway, felt like opening my eyes to find that i was

sitting in this thing, which was nothing but Amma in the form of the aircraft.

from the aisle seat cud see Her wing span. as the plane off, tear drops fell on

my shirt & onto the seat, as i felt Amma picking me up like a mother lifting Her

child from its cradle. everywhere i looked, wotever i heard, wotever i smelt,

wotever touched my skin, it was all Her!

 

the experience perceived thru the senses, the one who experiences & the

experience itself all are brahman, says a mantra in the rig veda. this airplane

incident was proof of that age-old scriptural statement.

 

lokah samastah sukhino bhavanthu

 

at Lotus Feet,

this child

Several images came into my consciousness soon after our arrival in

India. One was the image of Mother's hand catching and holding the

plane. The other image was of my being held, safe in Her arms. Those

images will stay with me forever.

 

 

Dear Vipin ~ what an experience. And Amma was there, protecting all Her

children. I remember reading, many years ago, in the version of "Immortal

Bliss,"

whatever it was called before that of this same experience. Maybe it was

your story because what stands out in my mind is a drawing of Amma holding up

the plane. Since I have a terrible fear of flying, and I want to visit my

daughter very much (I am in NM and she is in MD), this story has always given

me

great comfort. And if your story is the same one I read about, the additional

details added in your post were very significant, especially how you were

drawn to say your mantra. Sometimes, I hold onto my mantra as if it is a

liferaft. I did that when I had my colonoscopy. I think I got to 500 before

the

anesthesia took me under. I had always wondered how someone could chant their

mantra 1,000 or 10,000 times, but after that, now I know. It isn't difficult

at

all. Bless you for sharing this and reminding me again of Amma's hands, ever

reaching out to care for Her children. Jai Ma ~ Linda
