Amma!

Just watched an excerpt from Amma's (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi) discourse on TV and had to share it. Amma starts by introducing car navigators and other software which alert a user to un-buckled seat belts and open doors. Just as these softwares notify the people in the vehicle if anything is amiss our conscience notifies us whether anything is amiss.  It beeps, or blinks red if we go wrong.  It may even try to bring us back on track like a navigator would recalculate a path after a wrong turn.  And our hardware body is simply a vegetable if it does not have the conscience software installed in it. Amma goes on to compare a bad thought to a virus.  A bad thought damages files in ourselves.  And not only us, it damages everybody we send out an email to.
