Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri

Als ich im Juni 1979 zum ersten Mal zu Amma kam, wurde ich wiedergeboren, ein Kind. Damals war ich 22 Jahre alt. Seitdem bis heute, halte ich mich an einem Zipfel von Ammas Sari fest. Vierzig Jahre sind vergangen, aber vor Amma bin ich immer noch ein Kind. So gef llt es mir am besten. Wenn man ein Kind ist, kann man sehr viel lernen. Die Pforten des Wissens verschlie en sich f r uns, in dem Moment, in dem wir denken: "Ich bin erwachsen und gro geworden." Im Gegensatz dazu ist es am einfachsten zu wachsen, wenn sich unser Herz ausweitet und unser Ego schrumpft.Ammas Leben und Taten sind der Gegenstand meiner Meditation. Ihre Stimme und ihre Worte sind f r mich wie die Kl nge einer g ttlichen Fl te, eine s e Melodie, die mich aus einem tiefen Schlummer geweckt hat. - Swami AmritaswarupanandaPublished By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

When I first came to see Amma in June 1979, I was reborn as a child. I was 22 years old. Since then, I have been holding onto the hem of Amma's sari. That continues to this day. Forty years have passed, but before Amma I am still a child. That's how I like it. If one is a child, one can learn a great deal. It's also easy for a mother to teach a child. The portals of knowledge become closed to us the moment we think, "I am grownup and have become big." Alternatively, it is easiest to grow if our heart becomes expansive and our ego shrinks. Amma's life and deeds are my object of meditation. Her voice and words are, for me, the sounds of the Divine Flute-the sweet melody that roused me from deep slumber.

Amma's words present a simpler version of the same truths found in the ancient scriptures. Hence, they carry the same beauty and profundity as the knowledge shared by the ancient seers. They really require no introduction. However, to truly understand their meaning, it is not enough to merely read them. One has to meditate upon them-to go beneath their surface and dive deep. Then, we find that, just as a tree is hiding inside each seed, a world of knowledge is hiding inside Amma's every word. They have tremendous power-the power to quieten our mind and help us come face to face with God, our true nature.
