Talking high philosophy often confuses people, but a look from an egoless person can lift the clouds of pain and despair.
Mata AmritanandamayiMany people talk a lot about environmental preservation, but true greatness lies in putting these principles into practice and actually doing something about it.
Mata AmritanandamayiMost human beings know only the language of exploitation. Due to their selfishness, they are unable to consider others.
Mata AmritanandamayiWriting a diary every evening before going to bed is a good habit. We can record in the diary how much time we have devoted to our spiritual practice. The diary should be written in a way that helps us see our mistakes and correct them. It should not be a mere document of other peoples' faults or our daily transactions.
Mata AmritanandamayiWe live in a calculative world and have a calculative mind, and in such a world, ego dominates.
Mata AmritanandamayiWhat meaning do our lives have if we cannot set aside at least one hour a day out of 24 for thinking about God? Think how many hours we spend reading the newspaper, gossiping and doing various useless acts! Children we can definitely set aside an hour for sadhana if we really want it. That is our real wealth. If we cannot spare a whole hour at a stretch, keep apart half an hour in the morning and again in the evening.
