Devotee: Amma, I rest all my burdens and
responsibilities at Your feet. Bless me with
great name, fame and success in life.
Amma: Everyone has a desire to rise to greatness in
life. But how could one lost in fantasies and day-
dreams and achieve anything? For a glorious future to
be, desire must flower into passion and manifest as
action. To realize a lofty goal one certainly has to
sacrifice many petty desires. Your attention must be
focused on your goal. Giving up to Amma Bhagavan
does not mean non-action. This is karma bhoomi ,
the plane of action. Hence effort in the external
world is inevitable.
My grace will go along with you in your
efforts.
