Let Them Feed Each Other
San Ramon, 14 June 2001

Near the end of Wednesday night’s darshan program—say,
2:30 in the morning -- a dignified looking gentleman came
for darshan, spoke a little with Amma, and left. Suddenly
She was gesturing and calling him back. It seems he is affiliated
with AIMS, and was heading home soon. Could She pass up a
chance to send tiny tokens of Her love to Her children at
home? Never!

She handed him a full bag of Hershey’s Kisses—the
kind of sweet She hands to each person who comes for Her darshan
here in America. He lifted it respectfully to his forehead
and began again to step away. "Wait!" She reached
down beside Her chair for another bag…and another…and
another…Someone nearby was doing the math to calculate
how many bags of chocolates She would need to send to be sure
that all 1600 of Her Amritapuri children received a piece.

Soon he stood beside her holding a stack of bags that stretched
from his waist almost to his chin!
"Tell them to let one person feed the other person, thinking
that it’s Amma feeding them," She directed.
Tokens of love, and teachings as well.
