Mata AmritanandamayiHappiness is within everyone, but we are not able to experience it because of our ego's likes and dislikes.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe indicator of true knowledge is the ability to differentiate what uplifts us from what pulls us down.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, 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.
