An Open Letter to Amma's Babies

[Guest guest]

Dearest Little Amma's Beautiful Baby,

Holding you in Her arm's, Mother cradles you softly whispering, my

daughter, daughter, daughter, daughter, my DAUGHTER. She coos softly

to you, not letting you go. She rubs your back and lays your head

upon her lap. After laying your head there for some time, she is not

in any hurry for you to move. Everyone is just watching and waiting.

They want to be held this long, too. They long to be you, being held

in Amma's arms. Your mind has gone blank. There are no thoughts.

 

Mother lifts your head and picks up a chocolate kiss. She removes

the foil wrapper and then pops it into your mouth. Nothing has ever

tasted quite this good. Waiting until you finish with it, she

surprisingly grabs two more, slowly removing the wrappers and

popping these into your mouth as well. A blanket of bliss washes

over your senses as you feel the darshan from the kisses. Suddenly

nothing else matters except her loving arms and the sweet

remembrance of the love that is beyond anything on earth. You breath

in deeply while she holds you close again. You smell an explosion of

roses and sweetness all around. You long to stay in this place

forever.

 

Slowly you begin to get up, and she adds the sacred ash to your

forehead. You feel cooler and you realize your worries are gone. She

has removed them. You realize now that all of the struggles and

daily life concerns are children's play. THIS is the real deal. You

are aware that Her Love is the reality of creation-not these other

worries that beckon to us day after day.

 

Filled with her love and her light, you begin facing your days with

ease and complete and perfect faith. Amma, whatever you bring to me,

I accept. I know you have not ever forgotten this daughter. I know

your love is boundless. In this ocean of love, nothing can destroy

my faith. Nothing can destroy what I seek in you. Let the waves wash

over me and I will simply ride along in this merry raft you have

given me. This is all a dream. I know YOU are my only reality.

 

Amma is breathing with you this very moment. She is sitting in the

shrine of your heart.

 

in Amma's love

Amma's big fat baby,

Adriane
