Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - Spiritual Life Keep the thought of God alive within Whatever action we are doing, we should be sure to keep the thought of God alive within. Whenever we sit or get up, we should prostrate in the place. It is good to cultivate the habit of considering our pen, books, clothes vessels, and the tools for our job as imbued with Divine Presence and use them with care and respect. (In India, it is customary to touch an object with the right hand middle and ring fingers and touch back the forehead, eyes or heart as a mark of respect). This will help keep the thought of God alive throughout our body, mind and atmosphere. Observing our actions, others will also be inspired to follow this practice. Children, when we meet, we should greet each other with worlds that awaken remembrance of God such as " Om Amriteswaryai Namah", "Om Namah Shivaya,Hari Om,Jai Ma," and so forth. Teach the children to do the same. "Om Namah Shivaya" really means "Salutations to the Auspicious." When we raise one hand to say "Bye bye" we are gesturing that we are going apart from each other whereas when we join our palms and bow the head, our hearts come closer. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
