We should serve others without any expectations whatsoever. When others throw thorns at us, we should be able to throw flowers back at them.
Mata AmritanandamayiUnderstand 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 AmritanandamayiNowadays everybody wants to become a leader. No one wants to become a servant. In reality, the world is badly in need of servants, not leaders. A real servant is a real leader.
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 AmritanandamayiChildren, we should visit homes of the poor, orphanages and hospitals from time to time. We should take our family members along and offer assistance and look after the welfare of inmates. A word spoken with love and concern will give them more comfort than any amount of money. That will lead to the expansion of our hearts as well.
