We should serve others without any expectations whatsoever. When others throw thorns at us, we should be able to throw flowers back at them.
Mata AmritanandamayiIsn't it human beings who impart vitality to the image in the temple? If no one sculpts the stone, it doesn't become an image. If no one installs it in the temple, it does not acquire any sanctity. If no worship is done, it does not acquire any power. Without human effort there cannot be any temples. What is wrong then in saying that we should view great masters as equal to God? Temples installed by such spiritual masters have a special energy of their own.
Mata AmritanandamayiTo awaken spiritual unity, and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature, is the true goal of human life.
