The 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 AmritanandamayiWe should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.
Mata AmritanandamayiToday, society is sacrificing love, values and dharma in its pursuit of materialistic gains.
Mata AmritanandamayiIf you perform your work viewing it as your dharma, your actions become sacred.
Mata AmritanandamayiLook at the optimism of Nature. Nothing can stop it. Only the ego makes humans pessimistic, and this causes suffering.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, we should visit homes of the poor, orphanages and hospitals from time to time. We should take our family members along and offer assistance and look after the welfare of inmates. A word spoken with love and concern will give them more comfort than any amount of money. That will lead to the expansion of our hearts as well.
