I wonder why she can't speak all languages ? Is there a reason for this ? Not trying to be negative but really I wish I knew why.... Dear Tony ~ apparently so. A Self-Realized Master can do anything because (S)He is firmly established in the Supreme. In my studies of Navajo Culture, specificly the Blessing Way and other Chant Forms (which, like many pujas, go on for 9 or more nights), I learned something about establishment in the Supreme, though is was, of course, stated differently. But I believe that sometimes the words and ways of other cultures can help shed light on the Truth. In the very beginning of the Blessing Way ceremony, the Creation Story is shown. In fact, this is a key element of ritual worship, cross culturally, world wide. Why tell the Creation Story as the first element in ritual worship? The Creation Story takes the participants back to that moment in time just before creation (before it goes on to elaborate the creation). This is the place where there are no limits, the place of the undifferentiated, the place of the formless Supreme, so this is the place from which healings, visions, and other, what would be considered "non-ordinary" experiences occur. I believe this is the space that healers, psychics, etc. tap into. Great Masters are there all the time, in this place where there are no limitations and anything is possible, so they can do as they Will. One year, I had a phone reading by Kalika, a devotee of Amma who had been given permission by Amma to give these readings. She was in NM at the time. Now she is at Amma's ashram (not sure which one). She did a marvelous reading, making clear many things in my life that had been cloudy to me. Towards the end of the reading, I had a vision. To understand this, you must understand that my spirituality has always been very eclectic and has core establishments in Western Mysticism and Shamanism. I saw a huge truncated pyramid. Everybody was there ~ my Spirit Guides, my Guardian Angel, my Power Animals, and Amma. I thought it was very odd that Amma was up there with the rest of them because of the differing paradigms. They were all smiling and swinging their feet back and forth like children or like they were having a good joke or time. I was thinking, "what is this about." Then Amma looked at me, still smiling, but with that piercing gaze, and She took her left arm and waved it across the rest of the group (She was sitting on the left side, at the end). "I am all of these," She said. "Oh," I thought, "Okay, makes perfect sense to me." But I have never forgotten it. Amma is Everything.
