The seattle programs came to a quiet end around 9:00AM on Monday June 4, 2012 at the Hyatt in Bellevue. It was a good 4 day program, culminating in Amma in a green and gold bordered sari. I did not get a whole lot of chances like last year to speak to Amma, but it was good. On Devi Bhava, I asked Amma, let me always remain a servant of your padam, to which she- her eyes lit up, large and smile across her face, said 'Sheri !' , and asked me to sit. I had wanted to ask other questions, but I had felt so content with that answer. As my mind expands on the plane of spirtuality, I can see those I leave behind, and those like my sister and kartik, whose hearts have a glow within and are desiring to move up the spiritual ladder.

I could spend all time, in the sun, with Her.
Today is a 11-5 program at San Ramon, it may go until 8. But I have to pick up mommy at 9 so I do not think I will go, as I will be too fatigued. I saw nandini at the airport and Shalini auntie. Nandini, had some interesting points, which I would not dismiss.

Amritatmanda swamis satsang was amazing.

He spoke of a story when the kites go into the sky, and the bird. And how Amma used this to explain the relationship between the Guru and disciple. IT is a story I will never forget.

As you increase your awareness, the slightest tinge of spirituality splurges out of your heart. It is difficult for Children (i.e. devotees) to digest this without awakening love, which is done through transmution of sadhana.

The master gave me clear instructions. I do not always pass on the first try. But I must evolve, and leave those behind.

Someone blasted up my front bumper so thats in the shop. Kind of funny, how these things happen. Must be fate.

God grant me the strength to follow my Master's teachings.
The word Satguru is infinitely more sweeter than Mother .
For the Guru is the source of it , Mother is simply an allegory, or example to it.

How could I forgot the source of all my strength.

I always lose some weight in Seattle, and I find toxins remove themselves, and I have a few days glow. But I get back into my worldly habits, and poof- its gone. I must sustain it. Otherwise I will become like everyone else, including those devotees who fail to follow through despite having surrender and innocence or purity.
