....Another sweet part of the story, is on the next day-Devi Bhava

afternoon-my

mother thanked Amma for " being in my daughter's life" !!! I stood there

with my mouth dropping! Amma presented her with an apple. This apple exuded

Amma's scent! Once we returned to St. Louis, my mom called me. She said the

apple smelled like Amma! I asked what she did. She said she washed it and it

still smelled like Amma! I asked what she did with the apple. She said "I

ate it!" She said while eating it, the apple exploded with the smell of Amma

in the room.

 

 

 

Dear Adriane ~ what a lovely story, and I'm glad you included the part about

the shoes/sandles. Clearly, it is the intent of the person seeing Amma, and

not whether they are capable of walking without their shoes on. Some people

have to wear special Orthopoedic shoes to walk, and they wouldn't be able to go

without them eighter. And the story about the apple, I adore. In a way, it

is an interesting back-take on the old Adam and Eve story where the apple was

the source of temptation and evil. Here is it a source of Love, Healing,

continued Darshan and Amma's Presence ~ how beautiful. Jai Ma ~ Linda

 

Oh! Sorry ... couldn't help it ... this story inspired a little ditty, very

quickly: Here it is.

 

When Amma Gives You an Apple

 

Chorus

When is an apple more than an apple?

When the apple comes from Amma.

Then the apple is more than an apple,

when the apple comes from Amma.

 

1.

The apple is food, and it's prasad;

 

its blessing will fill you and make you glad.

 

 

It's worth can't be measured in dollars or cents;

the apple is filled with Amma's Presence;

 

 

Chorus

When is an apple more than an apple?

When the apple comes from Amma.

Then the apple is more than an apple,

when the apple comes from Amma.

 

 

2.

And if you take the apple home,

remember, whatever you do.

 

You are bringing Amma along,

and She will be will be with you.

 

 

Chorus

When is an apple more than an apple?

When the apple comes from Amma.

Then the apple is more than an apple,

when the apple comes from Amma.

 

3.

 

But please be sure to eat the apple,

a reminder that Amma is within.

 

And if you must save some of the apple,

it's seeds may grow again.

 

 

Chorus

When is an apple more than an apple?

When the apple comes from Amma.

Then the apple is more than an apple,

when the apple comes from Amma.
