Ammachi – The Hugging Saint
Mother-of-us-all prays to free usfrom our image of perfectionto which so much suffering clings.
When in the shadowy mind
we imagine ourselves imperfectly,
praying to be freed from gravity
by enlightenment, she refines our prayers.
Putting her arms around us
she bids us rest our head on her shoulder
whispering, Don’t you know
with all your fear and anger
all you are fit for is love.

Happy Birthday Amma.
What a lovely verse, it is so true. Sometimes we are caught up in just the things that matter least.
