This concludes the Account titled, Kṛpā kā Jharanā—The Waterfall of Grace.
The chakor bird is indigenous to Asia. In Indian scriptures and mythology, the chakor bird is said to receive all its sustenance from the light of the moon. The chakor’s focus on the moon is undivided, as it knows that without the moon it would have no life. Therefore, sages and poet-saints often refer to the chakor as a metaphor for one-pointed love and devotion to God.
To look upon these verses, to speak them out loud, to hear them, is to feel the light of moonbeams suffuse my being. Bathed thus, what else can I choose but to seek to engage my light-filled being in thoughts, words, and actions that please Shri Guru?
Thank you for the crystalline blessings of gurumarg and guruseva and this ever-flowing waterfall of gurukripa. They have given me a sublime focus.

Ami’s poem takes my breath away. As I read it aloud, soft tears of longing filled my eyes. I wish to follow the exquisite example of her devotion and understanding in my own life.
Thank you, dear Ami, for sharing your beautiful heart. You speak for us all.
