Children, we may go to the temple, reverently circumambulate the sanctum sanctorum and put our offering in the charity box, but on our way out if we kick the beggar at the door, where is our devotion? Compassion towards the poor is our duty to God. Mother is not saying that we should give money to every beggar that sits in front of a temple, but do not despise them. Pray for them as well. When we hate others, it is our own mind that becomes impure. Equality of vision is God.
Mata AmritanandamayiIf you see deficiencies in others, your duty is to forgive instead of pointing at it.
Mata AmritanandamayiGod realization and self-realization are one and the same. God-realization is nothing but the ability and expansiveness of heart to love everything equally.
Mata AmritanandamayiIf we have been able to give happiness to a soul-even for a minute-it makes our life blessed.
Mata AmritanandamayiLessen the quantity of unnecessary thoughts and allow more space for the energy of love to flow within you.
