Mata AmritanandamayiIn today's world, people experience two types of poverty: the poverty caused by lack of food, clothing and shelter, and the poverty caused by lack of love and compassion.

Mata AmritanandamayiFree from attachments to the past and worries about the future, a child expresses him/herself fully.
Mata AmritanandamayiNobody likes to let go of the ego- it is so precious to everyone. However, once you have attained a state of egolessness, the world won't disappear, as you may think it will. The world will continue, but a change takes place within you. Something is uncovered. You start seeing everything with the wonder and innocence of a child.
