We should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.
Mata AmritanandamayiOnce you learn the art of relaxation, everything happens spontaneously and effortlessly.
Mata AmritanandamayiPure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.
Mata AmritanandamayiThere is a lot of difference between offering a garland of flowers bought from a shop and one that we make out of flowers picked from our home garden. When we plant the flowers, water them, pick the flowers, make the garland and take it to the temple, thoughts of God alone live in our minds. The Lord accepts anything offered to Him with intense Love. When we buy a garland at a store and place it on the deity it is only a ceremonial act while the other is a garland of pure devotion and an act of love.
