Profound Amma Instructions upon Leaving Amritapuri

[Guest guest]

Om Namah Shivaya

 

On leaving Amritapuri for Australia

Amma said:

 

When Amma asked her children to say something, one of

them said, "Come back soon." To this Amma responded,

"Do you mean you want me to fall sick? All the

programs are already fixed. When you say 'come back

soon,' either it means there should be some problem

with the programs or Amma should fall sick. You

shouldn't pray like this. You should pray that you

come to be able to see Amma clearly in your heart."

 

Amma then explained how most of the people who come to

see her on her Indian Tour only have her darshan once

every two years. She asked the ashramites to try to

think of them and not themselves. "Instead of all the

time thinking 'I!,' 'I!,' 'I!,' 'I!' and 'for me!'

'for me!' 'for me!', you should start thinking, 'you'

and 'for you,'" Amma said. "Only in compassion do we

truly lose ourselves. In tapas [austerities], we still

have the attitude that 'I am the doer.'"

 

Telling her ashram children that they must struggle to

keep their thirst for liberation alive, Amma gave them

instructions to do as much japa and meditation on

their bus trip back to Amritapuri as possible.

 

Before getting up to go to the airport for her trip to

Australia, Amma then blessed everyone: "Children, may

your journey be safe and happy."

 

Was it a blessing for the physical journey or for the

inner one?
