Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH AMMA SAYS - STORY Nearer than Nearest "There was a woman who had an intense desire to get married. For years she had been trying to find a suitable husband, but she hadn't met the right person. Finally, she gave up. She decided to console herself by travelling around the world. She travelled from country to country, from continent to continent. Then one day when she was staying in a hotel on the other side of the world, she met a wonderful man, and the two of them fell in love. He turned out to be her perfect soul mate. What astonished them both was not only the fact that they came from the same city, but that they actually lived in the same apartment building and that their apartments were right next to each other. They had been next door neighbours for years, without even noticing each other! "Children, you may search for God everywhere, but you won't find Him because He is closer to you than you could even imagine. He appears to be far away, only for as long as you remain ignorant. Remove your ignorance, shake off your identification with the body and transcend it, wake up and be aware; then you will realize that God is 'Nearer than the Nearest.'". :: AMMA SHARANAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
