Of a Little Child - This is so beautiful it moved me to tears.....

[Guest guest]

Another passage from Amma and Me:

 

This is after Manoharan asked Amma what kind of sadhana (spiritual practice)

he should do. She told him to look up the song " Oru Koccu Kunninte " and take the

words to heart:

 

 

Of a Little Child

 

Oh how lucky I would have been if I had the

body of a little child!

I would then run up, fall into that lap,

revel and romp!

 

Taking hold of one end of that white garment,

I would take some steps!

And if another child was petted,

I would cry in insistent protest!

 

I would stand watching that beautiful lotus

face, forgetting this world!

And if I got a glance and a smile,

I would dance with joy!

 

I would embrace her with my little hands,

and make sweet baby talk.

And if I were about to be left behind,

I would throw a tantrum!

 

If you were to fool me and disappear,

I would break into tears.

If you rolled your eyes and scared me,

I would stand there sobbing.

 

And if you feigned anger and pushed me,

I would hug your feet tightly and weep.

 

 

Ever at Amma's Lotus Feet,

Robin
