It is never a good practice to continue to sleep after sunrise. We should not think of staying in bed once we are awake; it increases laziness and dullness. Those who cannot decrease the amount of sleep quickly may do it in gradual stages. Those who do regular spiritual practice do not need much sleep.
Mata AmritanandamayiProgress can be slow and gradual. Continue putting in effort with patience, enthusiasm and faith.
Mata AmritanandamayiWhen love and compassion fills your heart, you find newness in every moment, and life becomes a celebration.
Mata AmritanandamayiWe must remember that man is not an island, totally isolated and disconnected from others. We are all part of a universal chain, or the universal consciousness. What happens to one happens to all.
Mata AmritanandamayiGod is standing at the door of every heart. Call Him. He is waiting to come in.
Mata AmritanandamayiWe should fill the syllabuses of schools with lessons about love and compassion.
Mata AmritanandamayiToday people live to work rather than work for a living. They have forgotten their true goal in life. Subsequently they have forgotten their dharma. There is no communication between hearts, there is no sharing. Having lost contact with other's hearts, we become totally isolated. But in truth we are not isolated islands, we are links that form one chain.
