Towards the end of the booklet is Amma's "The Message of Sanatana Dharma." For me, this short speech gives the essence of Amma's teaching. Amma teaches us about the nature of the mind, about compassion, and the purpose of religion. I'm a bit scared of "Song of the Sannyasin" for its very boldness. Slowly, slowly I'm trying to cultivate that equanimity. I'm finding that spiritual practices, time, Grace, and insights are healing deep, old wounds. My path has always involved a lot of pain---and what can I say other than it drives me towards God/the Self. Thank God that even the worst nightmare is ultimately only a passing dream. And what is Real never changes. How fortunate we are to have such a Motherly Master, patiently guiding our steps. Om Tat Sat. In Amma, Divya Om Namah Sivaya

Hi Kamala and Link,

I have with me a copy of Amma’s address at the 1993 Parliament of Religions, “May Your Hearts Blossom.” Towards the end of the booklet is Amma’s “The Message of Sanatana Dharma.” For me, this short speech gives the essence of Amma’s teaching. Amma teaches us about the nature of the mind, about compassion, and the purpose of religion.

I’m a bit scared of “Song of the Sannyasin” for its very boldness. Slowly, slowly I’m trying to cultivate that equanimity. I’m finding that spiritual practices, time, Grace, and insights are healing deep, old wounds. My path has always involved a lot of pain—and what can I say other than it drives me towards God/the Self. Thank God that even the worst nightmare is ultimately only a passing dream. And what is Real never changes. How fortunate we are to have such a Motherly Master, patiently guiding our steps. Om Tat Sat.

In Amma, Divya

They r different in their own ways,but somehow ,reading Swamiji's peom freshened up my thoughts about Master's recital...Maybe because that is one poem which i think is equally liberating as this one.
