staying awake, that would help me."

 

This Seva seems very benign. The sense of scent is in delight. The sense of

touch is feeling offered floral bouquets and floral malas.

 

But it can be very stressful. On some occasions the Sevites are doing a great

imitation of vapor.

 

Very few (understandably) want to be outside of the Hall during the last hour of

DB. Sometimes there are forty bouquets and only three flower petalling Sevites.

The job has to be done or Amma will be standing there with nothing to throw at

Her children.

 

One time I was tearing at those petals at a furious pace with the end ominously

nearing. Sounds funny but it was quite stressful. Sleepiness was aided by fear

motivated Adrenalin and you know who's infusion of Shakti.

 

With Love,
