In times of tragedies, our duty is to lend a helping hand to those in grief and thus light lamps of kindness and compassion.
Mata AmritanandamayiDue to our preconceptions regarding education, we fail to inquire into the most obvious and wondrous field of study - ourselves.
Mata AmritanandamayiEvery night, contemplate: What good did I do today? How can I do better tomorrow?
Mata AmritanandamayiPure 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 AmritanandamayiPure love is the best medicine for the modern world. This is what is lacking in all societies. The root cause of all problems, from personal problems to global problems is the absence of love. Love is the binding factor, the unifying factor. Love creates the feeling of oneness among people. It unifies a nation and its people. Love creates a sense of unity while hatred causes division. Egotism and hatred cuts people's minds into pieces. Love should rule. There is no problem which love cannot solve.
