Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Dear Michael, Thanks to your question there have been so many wonderful replies. I think that if your heart overflows when you think of Her, and as you say tears come when you look at Her photo, and as you say you 'love and resonate' with every word She utters- Well my dear brother SHE HAS FOUND YOU. Amma clearly says ( in vol 5 Awaken children) that there is a predestined time for people to come to Her . She also says that the right attitude is 'the Guru found me'. I had a similar reaction when i saw Amma- spontaneous tears, tears when i look at Her photo, total joy at Her words etc... I even prayed in front of Her picture' Please be my Guru'... And one day when i asked Her 'Amma i am full of impurities etc, can i come to your ashram?' the translator funnily asked Her a slightly different question 'Amma he is asking to be fit enough to be your disciple' She replied ' YOU ARE ALREADY AMMA'S DISCIPLE'. You see the question that was in my heart was answered even though i didnt ask it. Basically , if your heart overflows at Her thought, and your eyes well up with tears looking at Her picture- i feel that's Amma's call. you can always check with Her , ...all you have to do is ask in the darshan line. But chances are you will be crying on Her lap, and you will be so washed away by the flood of Her love, that there simply will be no need for a question. bala >Ammachi > >------ > >Message: 1 > Sat, 17 Feb 2001 13:10:31 -0000 > "mjf2001 " <mjf2001 >Namaste! > >Hello, children of Amma! > > My name is Michael and I am new to this list.
