Devotees stood in a beeline to have a darshan of Amma and Bhagavan. Paying his respects a newcomer angrily inquired,

“Bhagavan, why do you shower your blessings on bad people? My neighbor is a drunk, prone to violence. And I find you doing miracles for him every other day! Should not grace discriminate between the good and the bad?” With a smile Amma beckoned him to come closer.

Amma:Let us say you are standing on your balcony and see your little son running on to the road from the house. He falls down and hurts himself. What would you do?

Devotee: I would rush to his aid and kiss away his pain.

Amma:Well, you certainly not go to your son who is crying and inquire: “Were you running out of the house after some mischief? Did you hit someone and run away from him?” Would you? If you with your limited consciousness could love your son so much, what about us? Whenever a devotee prays we cannot pause to inquire if he is good or bad. We respond on his pain.

As a human you will never be able to comprehend this dimension of the Divine.
