Amma The Divine Mother

ammachi

Mata Amritanandamayi – popularly known as Ammachi The Hugging Saint or simply as Amma (mother) is one of the oldest souls still alive on the planet.

Amma is a perfect master. She is one of the chosen divine beings come to earth in human form with a message of love to spread to the world. Her modality of spreading love to the planet is by embracing people – one hug at a time.

Her arms are open to everyone as she works tirelessly every single day (literally) and she doesn’t turn anyone away as she continuously gives Darshan (seeing a divine being) for 20 hours straight without resting. Even her disciples take shifts just to support her but she still goes on and on imparting her divine love through her warm embrace.

Meeting a divine being like Amma is a beautiful and rare opportunity because her embraces is her way of showing her love for each individual and she makes the supreme sacrifice by taking on your karma so you will not be burdened by it.

Amma is also very enthusiastic about changing the world through her organizations and charitable foundations. If you have the chance to meet her on one of her Darshans, your spiritual life will definitely change.

 

Be Still, And Know That YOU Are God…

Life can get stressful at times. You might feel that living a ‘physical life’ may seem overly demanding. But no matter what happens in life, there is one thing you can always remember – that you are always, always connected to the divine.

The divine will not abandon you and your spirit when times are tough. The only thing you need to do is look deeper within you and seek the answers within.

The answer is in the stillness, and you will find the divinity within.

When your mind is still, your ‘mental bandwidth’ isn’t leaking away all the time. You have the inner power to connect with the divine within you.

Be still, and know that you are god.

The 3rd Option

When a soul incarnates on earth, it’s essence is pure but along the way, it starts to adopt dualistic thinking.

What does dualistic thinking?

It’s the kind of thinking that is:

– Us versus them
– Either me or you
– Survival of the fittest
– Red ocean mentality

Dualistic thinking focuses on differences and lack. This kind of ‘it’s either us or them’ thinking is a form of separation.

For example, an entrepreneur sees his old beer drinking friends as dead beat friends. He then hears that his friends are trying to get a new startup started and suddenly he doesn’t see them as deadbeat friends anymore.

But what if there is no such thing as deadbeat or no deadbeat? What if there’s only love?

What if there’s something more than just either/or thinking? What if there’s both?

Introducing the 3rd option. According to the late Stephen Covey – author of the famous 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, he believes that the mentality of the 3rd alternative eliminates the either/or thinking and doesn’t create ‘enemies’. Everyone helps each other and it turns formal competitors into collaborators.

The idea that there’s only love eliminates judgmental thinking and leaves people trapped in their ego. Today, look at ways how you can spiritually embody this 3rd option and create more love for others.
