Sathya Dharma Shanthi Prema

Sai Deepa got jealous with Akash getting all the attention.  Here is something that came for her. Amma lovingly named her the Ancient One. As I read the text, I was amazed as to how Amma talks “our language”, the Mother of the Universe tunes into the kind of way we youngsters are used to communicating and draws analogies from our personal lives to make it easier. One would find Amma giving an example of Khapa Dosha and could be explained that Sai Deepa is an Ayurvedic Doctor and for her, the first step in the diagnosis of a patient is to understand his/her Doshas. Communication students need to learn from Her how important it is to deliver a message not in the way the sender has understood something but to modulate it to the way the receiver best relates to.

Amma’s message sent to Sai Deepa from Meow…..

Satya – Truth ., remember truth ALONE thriumps., sometimes you might feel alone or despndent., but if you are in the side of truth then you will always emerge stronger and victorious., Satya – the truth ., it is not from a text book or from a judge or authority., Truth is Knowing., you know it to be true., even if others do not understand ., you know it to be true., and that’s what matters.,

Dharma – It is not a restrictive practice like do this and dont do that., rather it is a suggesstion for a way of life., for example you may not give oily or cold stuff to a person with Kapha Constituency., similarly Dharma is a GUideline for proper Conduct., again ., do not confuse conduct with right or wrong., it is Conductivity., helping you become more conductive to the divine and dissolve your resistance.,

Shanthi – Peace., rather Blissful Peace., when you are in bliss., in ananda., then you feel Shanthi ., and not only do you feel it ., you radiate it., and you transform the people and places around you , and the absence of Shanthi ., leads to a myriad of Bhavas – Anger., Anguish, Angst, Confusion, confrontation, haste, hesitation, doubt, distraction ., and the list is endless., it is like a Conductor of an orchestra., when he is there ., all the music peices play in harmony.,

Prema - Blissful Love., Love and Evol are the same ., you evolve into Love., where there is love there is no effort., no distance., no difficulty., and most of all No condition ., no pattern, no possession ., the lover, the loved and the love., all become one., the devotee dissolves into the master ., the master dissolves into his cherished bhaktha (disciple) ., and the process of allowing this is Prema.,

Satya gives birth to Dharma., the truth leads to the Path., like a super highway ., lighted by bright lights.,

Dharma gives rise to Shanthi ., as there is no conflict only conductivity.,

Shanthi gives rise to Prema – Only out of blissful peace can the spring of love gush forth ., drink drink drink ., dont worry where the water comes from ., dont worry if the water will last., dont worry about bottling and preserving it., drop the worry., dont pollute the source of the fresh water ., just drink ., and drink to your hearts content ., and refresh yourself., you have been ., you have been thirsty for so long., now you drink .,

Prema Gives rise to Satya ., Love is true., only love can be true., and it is Transcendental ., Hate rises and falls ., today there ., stronger tomorrow. ,and Hate can destroy everything. ,so strong an emotion ., and love can vanish hatred., so then who is most powerful ???? (You should hear AMMA laughing., so difficult to type out these lines ., one wants to vanish into the laughter – Meow)

And the cycle continues.,

To Drink the Grace….be Kind to thyself

Yesterday, Amma said “I see parched faces though its raining on their faces and they add more water with their tears. Its raining outside, drink the grace. You can’t drink it all but a few drops will be life transforming” …..Muah then asked “How to drink grace?” And Amma replied, “DRINK …….reverse and jumble you have…….KIND. Be kind to yourself first. If you cannot show kindness to yourself then how do you expect others to? When you are kind to yourself you will go inward, people around you will not like it. As you become more centered within your being you will become like the old grandfather clock, while all others are still like cuckoo clocks. Cuckoo clocks need to be constantly would, but grandfather clocks just need to get the pendulum swinging. Be kind to yourself. KIND also has the word INK within. Let kindness be the ink that you use to write your life. Life is like the blank white paper and what colour of the ink that you choose to write upon it is upto you.” She then went on advising Muah that the future is there the way you may want it but why squander it with negative thoughts, change them to positive words and allow it to happen.

Allow silence….wall is seen

I get my messages in beautiful long verses but Meow grumbles that his comes in a flash and goes away. After days the Aha! moment arrives and then he gets the meaning of what was said to him. I guess we all learn in different ways and Amma knows the best way to drive in the fundamentals according to the individual’s learning ability. No school can even hope to come close to her methods of teaching.  Amma has a beautiful way of playing around with words in the English Language, even that she considers as one that borrows from other European Languages and asks how is that we talk this language everyday and yet we miss out the depth in its meaning…. here is an example of how she juggles words and plays to deliver messages that blow our minds at her dexterity.

Knowing is knowing., you just know

a place where everything else dissolves., what remains is Knowing
and then that also merges with the silence
know silence
allow silence
wall is seen ., break it down
allow silence.., the same letters ., rearranged
silence is too diluted a word to express the experience
how can you express the experience
how can you convey what goes on 
can you trap the majestic silence of the mountain top in the twilight
how can you convey., how can you record ., how can you quantify
for that you need to climb the mountain ., sit ., watch., wait., witness., within
you cannot even hear the slience., how best to describe it then
you allow silence to come within., wall is seen., break it downand then you are in knowing.,
you always where.,
no where., now here
and you know that the silence within and without was the same.,
your ego is just a membrane between two silences ., that is the same.,
do you think that only sound vibrates.,
silence vibrates too .,
not vibrate., but reverberate.,
the most invisible thing ., the most easiet thing., is nothing but silence.,once you allow the silence to embrace you., rather after you drop the fear of embracing it.., you reach yourself.,
strange are the people not wanting to go ., afraid to get close to the flame.,
but a moth drawn to a flame., is just a flame wanting to go into the flame.,
sitting in the fish market., or mountain top ., then silence is your constant lover.,
allow the universe to sit on your lap and play like a sweet innocent child., your lap is big enough.,
 all you need to be ., is welcome the sweet child.,
it’s innocent laughter will burn away a lot of your old karmas.,
you want to purify yourself., then allow laughter to happen among people.,
where else can you find me other than laugher and silence.,
silence manifested is laughter., and laughter meditated on brings silence.,

Ask and you shall receive

Rani said: From all the vices - I have desires, I don’t have greed, nor jealousy
but i do have major desires

Amma gently replied:

The desire to be desirelessness is also a desire
it is ok to Ask .,
it is ok to expect
it is ok to work for what your dreams are.
if people did not dream, or desire or expect.,. beauty would find no expression
you want something good in life.,
people today show off and brag about the size of their home bars., all the while confining God to a shelf in their house like a piece of home appliance
you want a big house., nothing criminal about it.,

God wants you to have the best of everything., you offer the best of everything to god when you do pooja dont you? you offer silk., you offer Ghee., you offer fresh flowers., if you offer so much of quality and quantity., why resist when he is offering it back to you?

if you offer so much of quality and quantity., why resist when he is offering it back to you? when things went wrong., the first thing they do (even today) is to go to the pooja room and yell at God

during festivals and sickness., God is an integral part of your life., and you want to give the best part of your house to him and do it up in the best way possible

God would not like to see you living in a shanty and you make a rich room for him., what is good for him is good for you to .,
it is Ok ., to ask .,
as long as it does not injure, harm or upset someone.,

you cannot do anything about Jealous and Envious people who crib about your position., let them be.,
when the full moon rises ., dogs will bark and howl.,

but the real people are those who will see your progress., and shed tears of happiness at your happiness.,
remember it is ok to Ask .,
but after you ask and Give the Ask list to God.,
you have to not Nag him about it.,
a gentle remainder is good.,
nagging is irritating.,
not that God will get irritated.,
but you would slow down the process .,
God always sends signals and sample pieces .,
you would not paint a room withtout colour samples..,
similarly once he sends samples., you have to be aware enough to accept them and appriciate them ., when you do ., more consignments follow.,
simple., easy., efficient.,
ask ., let go ., receive the samples., say thanks and wait for the complete fullfillment to come.,
effortless., efficient., easy., excellent

On the Guru Mantra

From Muah,

So I go nonchalantly for Amma’s Devi Bhava, my very first Dharshan and received a Guru Mantra. Repetitively and pateintly Amma explains the purpose of the Mantra

The mind itself is like a wild pair of Oxen that have to be tethered to utilise the united force to drive the plough into the hard soil. The mantra is this rope that tethers the Oxen together and gives the power to a fragile human being to break into the hard soil and thus prepare it for planting the seeds.

I am the kind of person who gets bored very easily but with this tiny 4 words I never feel the monotony of it and I find it the best way to get rid of the voices of Dido or Rehman that keep playing in my head. The mantra  also replaces itself with all negative elementals and entities in an individuals aura and henceforth attract equally spiritual people into our lives. Its benefits are multifold but for me the biggest motivator is the promise to hear my Guru and I patiently wait for Her Grace to decend

Dear Velvet Soul….

Akash, Muah’s best friend, is yet another person touched by Amma’s grace and guidance. Both Meow and Muah are so happy that he joins us in this journey of divinity. Each of us have a nick name, Muah is the Rain Child, Meow, Oh he has plenty from Quantum to Chernobyl to Shiva in Thandavam….and Akash’s nickname is Velvet Soul. This was Amma’s message to him on Love

People normally get into a relationship only for 2 reasons,
either you want something from the opposite person like being whole/complete whatever,
or you want to offer urself to the person unconditionally in order to elevate the happiness of the object of your affection

“care is rare”

Normally the second path is the path less travelled, less defined, but totally completely absoluteley the correct one.

98% of the world is searching the other,
one percent is clueless

and the rarest one percent wants to offer himself or herself to the Other,
not as object sacrifice or surrender
but offer for the sake of offering

such type of feeling – to care for someoene, cannot be manufactured

it cannot be.

it is not even a feeling, but it is an outpouring

if you do feel this be prepared to take the path less travelled, a little bit bumpy,
no familiar sign posts, but it is the only correct path.

Falling in love is not a text book process, if so then – growing in love is absolutely unkown.

When a tree falls it makes a huge sound and a racket and ruckus.

when the seed sprouts no one knows,
when the seed grows no one knows,
no tree grows with pomp and show,
it does quitely and not – noticeably,

Fallin in love,
Jumping in love,
Being in love,
and ..,
Growing in love are all different

when You fall in love it is sometimes unconcious, or You stumble into it.

when you jump it is completely known, there is a thrill.

when you are “being” in love, love becomes your entire being,

and when you grow in love not only do your sink your roots deep, but you also grow tall.

Love is the most unfamiliar, terryfying, speechless and also the most comfortable of expereicnes bundled into one

“know” love – 4 words with familiar tones.

If you feel love, its just a feeling, like hot / cold, thirst etc.

To know love – its a knowing, once u know something u cannot unknow it again.

You know love and venrure into the unknown,

So,
From feeling – to knowing – to being – BEING “BE IN”(g)love.

If you are in and you feel this strong urge to care about someone, with sincetrity,
then the opposite person – if she or she is reeady to accept,
the care will spontaneously blossom

The warm waves of sunshine although millions of kms away,
Just a touch and the flower burts into bloom,
the flower absorbs the sunshine into its being,
You cannot trick the flowere into bloomiong!

Just be true to what you feel,

Do you feel as if your confusion is more than the need to take care of this person?
Then the answer lies in the following,

Wanting to care is different from needing to care,
a need is a need, wants are transient, needs are eternal.

Velvet soul is not named for the sake of Poetry,

One has been named Velvet Soul to personify the unknown, unsaid reality
that is there, that is you, that is true.

Stop looking for signals, confirmations.

Do not imagine, obstacles that have not yet arisen.

The need to feel, to want, to care – has come.

It will find its own way!

It will find the recepient it is intended to gush forth for,

the essence of love is to care,

and just like common sense, it is very rare!
