Traveling by bus, we see many things on the way and just let them pass by. Watch the thoughts of your minds in the same way.

Society is made up of individuals. The thoughts and actions of each individual influence the culture of that society. Instead of waiting for others to improve, we should try to improve ourselves. Once our attitude has changed, we will be able to perceive goodness throughout world. If there is a positive change in us, it will also be reflected in others. It is only what we give that we can hope to get back.

What makes Amma happy, is to see her children helping others to feel happy.

Our ultimate dharma is self-realization. Thoughts and actions that support our spiritual evolution are real dharma.

The change will only happen outside once we change within ourselves.

Our attitude should be: Whatever happens I will remain strong, courageous and happy.

Let our lives be firmly rooted in Truth. Abstain from lies. In this dark age of materialism, adherence to truth is the greatest austerity. We might have to tell lies now and then to protect somebody or to sustain dharma, but we must be careful not to speak lies for our own selfish purposes.
