Jasmine flower

It has been 2 weeks since my last post. So much has happened.

I love divine mother Shri Karunamayi. She is the sweetest and softest person I have ever met in my life. And since she entered my life 5 years ago, my life has changed .. not in any earth-shattering way, but gradually. She reminds me a lot of my mom.

A vision I had with her a few months ago -

The morning sun was shining down upon us. I followed her quietly into the garden. She reached out her hand, plucked a jasmine flower, turned around and held it out to me. As I looked upon at the scene unfolding before my eyes, I could not decide which was more beautiful. The jasmine flower slightly moist because of the overnight dew or her beautiful, calm, divine and blissful face. Then as I accepted the flower from her, she explained "this flower I am giving you today is not ordinary. It is a heavenly flower ..." She then paused and continued "Let your heart be ever-moist with love like this jasmine flower. May your heart be always pure like the natural whiteness of this jasmine flower. May your heart in its compassion be as tender as the petals of this flower. And may your heart be filled with such devotion that it becomes worthy of being offered in worship to the Lord."
