Try to make others happy, and don't despair over all the evil in the world. Instead of cursing the dark, let us each light one small lamp.
Mata AmritanandamayiHappiness is within everyone, but we are not able to experience it because of our ego's likes and dislikes.
Mata AmritanandamayiOnly when human beings are able to perceive and acknowledge the Self in each other can there be real peace.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, not a grain of the food we eat is made purely by our own effort. What comes to us in the form of food is the work of others, the bounty of Nature and God's compassion. Even if we have millions of dollars, we still need food to satisfy our hunger. Can we eat dollars? Therefore, never eat anything without first praying with humility.
Mata AmritanandamayiWe live in a calculative world and have a calculative mind, and in such a world, ego dominates.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, in the present dark age of materialism, chanting the mantra is the easiest way for us to obtain inner purification and concentration. Japa can be done at any time, anywhere, without observing any rule regarding the purity of mind and body. Japa can be done while engaged in any task.
Mata Amritanandamayi
