At times near Amma, I feel very uncomfortabe, my pulse seems to increase, breathing can be diffucult, & I literally feel like getting up & leaving! I think it's because I'm aware of Her awesome power & my ego realizes that She's in the process of destroying it! > > Sweta > namaste, above is a very important point. when we glimpse amma as kali, our ego will feel fear because it does not want to be destroyed. one of kali's main functions is to destroy the egoic mind. this is symbolized by the necklace of skulls around her neck. i have felt only minute glimpses of this fear so far. for the most part amma is still babying me. one who stays with amma needs a lot of courage. that's why one of my constant prayers to amma is to never abandone me( not allow me to run away ) and to give me strenght to surrender my burdensome egoic mind. my hope is that by surrendering( not resisting ), perhaps a lot of problems in life and the fear and can be minimized. amma's blessings, amarnath may all beings everywhere be happy, peaceful and healthy !
