Message #20988

[Jitendra Hydonus]

One devotee was dozing off as he was trying to meditate. Amma threw a chocolate Kiss at him. Amma has perfect aim. The chocolate hit  right on the spot between his eyebrows. The man opened his eyes with a start. With the chocolate in his hand, the man looked around to find out where it had come. Seeing his plight Amma burst into laughter. When he realized that Amma had thrown it, the man's face lit up. He touched the chocolate to his forehead, as if bowing to it. But the next moment he laughed aloud, and then got up from his seat and walked up to Amma.

Questioner: The Kiss hit the right spot, between the eyebrows, the spiritual center. Maybe this will help to open my third eye.

Amma: It won't

Questioner: Why?

Amma: Because you said "maybe"; this means you are doubtful. Your faith is not complete. How can it happen if you have no faith?

Questioner: So are You saying that it would have happened if I had full faith?

Amma: Yes. If you have full faith realization can happen at anytime, anywhere.

Questioner: Our you serious?

Amma: Yes, of course.

Questioner:Oh, my God... did I lose a great opportunity?

Amma: Don't worry. Be aware and be wakeful. Opportunities will come again. Be patient and keep trying.

The man looked a little disappointed and turned to walk back to his seat.

Amma: (tapping him on his back) By the way why did you laugh out loud?

Hearing the question the devotee again broke into laughter.

Questioner: As I dozed through my meditation I was having a wonderful dream. I saw you throw a chocolate kiss to wake me up. I suddenly woke up. It took me a few moments to realize you really had thrown me a chocolate Kiss.

Along with the man all the devotees who sat around her broke into laughter.
