Be Patient, Master Is at Work- from Amma's Heart - Series: Episode 14 - Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

All Masters have said, “Aham Brahmasmi” (I am Brahman) and “Tat Twam Asi,” (You are that). Disciples then perform constant shravanam, mananam and nidhidyasanam (listening, reflection and internalization), and through this process they reach the depths of these statements. In those days, disciples had the patience required to do this. Amma knows that today we don’t have this patience. Yet, just as a hen breaks large pieces of grain into smaller bits for her chicks, just like one can use a small key to open a big box of gems, Amma has tried to explain these principles through very simple examples. This is the only way people will be able to understand and assimilate these principles. You have to break a boulder into little pieces in order to use it as gravel. Disciples today need principles to be made extremely simple in order for them to understand. This is what Amma does.
