Understand this great truth: The happiness that comes from the pleasures of the world is but a minute reflection of the infinite bliss that comes from within your own Self.
Mata AmritanandamayiJust as armor protects the soldier, spiritual knowledge protects us from the difficulties of life.
Mata AmritanandamayiOur efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.
Mata AmritanandamayiNobody likes to let go of the ego- it is so precious to everyone. However, once you have attained a state of egolessness, the world won't disappear, as you may think it will. The world will continue, but a change takes place within you. Something is uncovered. You start seeing everything with the wonder and innocence of a child.
