Pure love removes all negative feelings. Destroying all selfishness, it expects nothing but gives anything. Pure love is a constant giving up- giving up of everything that belongs to you. What really belongs to you? Only the ego. Love consumes in its flames all preconceived ideas, prejudices and judgments, all those things which stem from the ego. Pure love is nothing but the emptying of the mind of all its fears and the tearing off of all masks. It exposes the Self as it is.
Mata AmritanandamayiWe should try our best to relieve the suffering of others in whatever way we can.
Mata AmritanandamayiOur circumstances will continually change. It is out of our control. It is more important to change our attitude, which we have control of.
Mata AmritanandamayiWhen the storm brews and the waves swell, only an experienced captain can control the ship and save it.
Mata AmritanandamayiJust as our bodies need proper food to live and develop, our souls need love to blossom. The strength and nourishment that love can give our souls is even more potent than the nourishing power of a mother's milk for a baby.
Mata Amritanandamayi
