Misha's Prayer to Amma

[Guest guest]

Namah Sivaya All,

 

I am sitting here in a motel room in Castro Valley getting ready to

head over to the Ashram for the New Year's Eve Whoopteedo.

 

Maheshvara and Misha are in Amritapuri and Misha is blogging the

experience on tribe.net.

I thought I would share a prayer from one of her recent entries:

 

 

Aum Sri Gurubyo Namaha Hari Aum

 

Beloved Amma, through what is called my " heart " a steady river of love

flows out toward You. Please, Devi, may I be present in You, that this

devotional easy love will flow towards all beings—as You are. Thank

you. May we know and directly perceive that You are the substratum

through which all of our thoughts, actions, and words pass. May we

behold You as You truly are, to better love You and finally experience

the joy of the truth. May my every act of lying down be a lying down

at your infinitely adorable feet. Thank you for the ineffably precious

blessing of sitting by your feet this evening. Amma, you say that the

unfolding is part effort and part grace, but I know that it is all

grace. The effort itself is grace, however challenging it is, grace

that makes the oppourtunity and the way and may I always remember to

be deeply grateful for all that You have given me. And to remember the

joy of selflessness. May all beings understand that you are

Satchitananda, and by knowing You are, they will know that they are!

It is! It is! I love you, Amma. When you test my love may I be willing

to bow and serve. I offer this to you believing that through the act

of offering that which is unfit, one day there will be a pure offering

and I will know myself as You! Jai Mata Amritanandamayi Devi! Jai Kali MA.

 

Happy New Year!
