A devotee who had come for the first time
had a wonderful past life revelation as
soon as he beheld Amma in the public
darshans. Astounded, he sought a
personal darshan with Amma.

Amma, who knows all that transpires within,
looked into his eyes and said to the awestruck
devotee, “I do not require time to bestow an
experience on you. I can condense several life
times of memory into a single moment. That is
the secret of a mystical experience. I can make
you traverse several universes in an instant.
However, keep this in mind, mystical experiences
happen to many but when they happen to
someone who is ripe, they lead to a profound
awakening. A single experience is sufficient to
unravel God and the truths of the universe.”
