The heart sends blood to every cell of the body, and in this way the cells are nourished. The same blood then flows back to the heart. If the flow is obstructed, the person will die. We need to learn this process of give and take from the heart. For the benefit of others, and also for ourselves, we should have the attitude of caring and sharing. We are all links in the chain of life. If one link is weakened, it will affect the strength of the whole chain.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe guru is not someone who is confined to the body. When there is selfless love for the guru, we will be able to see him not only in his body but in every living and nonliving thing in this world. Learn to see everything as the guru's body and to serve them accordingly.
Mata AmritanandamayiNo one becomes pure and selfless overnight; it involves time and concentrated effort, coupled with tremendous patience and love.
Mata AmritanandamayiAs you perform good actions selflessly, true love will blossom, which will purify our emotional mind.
