Whatever you see, hear or experience in the world is ephemeral. Get in touch with the eternal substratum of everything.
Mata AmritanandamayiWhen love overflows and is expressed through every word and deed, we call it compassion. That is the goal of religion.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe greatest tragedy in life is not death; the greatest tragedy takes place when our talents and capabilities are underutilized and allowed to rust while we are living.
Mata AmritanandamayiMany people meditate in order that a third eye may open. For that they feel they should close their two physical eyes. They thereby become blind to the world. But the fact is that the third eye will never open. We can never close our eyes to the world in the name of spirituality. Self-realization is the ability to see ourselves in all beings. This is the third eye through which you see, even while your two eyes are open. We should be able to love and serve others, seeing ourselves in them. This is the fulfillment of spiritual practice.
