Look at Nature. Nature is a book from which we must learn. Each object in it is a page of that book.
Mata AmritanandamayiWhen humanity serves Nature, Nature serves humanity. When we serve animals and plants, they too serve us in return.
Mata AmritanandamayiPeople think that God wants our offerings. God does not need anything from us. He is the giver. He is like the sun - the giver of light.
Mata AmritanandamayiIf the goal is to realize the Supreme Being, you should become egoless. That requires self-effort. The sadhak should work hard. He should pray sincerely for the removal of the negative tendencies. This prayer is not to achieve anything or to fulfill any desires. It is to go beyond all achievements. It is to transcend all desires.
