We live in a calculative world and have a calculative mind, and in such a world, ego dominates.
Mata AmritanandamayiWe give physical exercise to the body, but neglect the heart. The exercise for the heart is uplifting the destitute and the suffering.
Mata AmritanandamayiTry to gather the strength to live as brother and sister after one or two children are born. This is essential for reaping the full benefit of spiritual practice and to make spiritual progress through mental restraint.
Mata AmritanandamayiTry not to have any break in chanting the mantra even for a moment. Continue repeating the mantra while engaged in any task. Chanting in the mind may not always be possible at first, so in the beginning, practice japa by moving the lips incessantly-like a fish drinking water.
Mata AmritanandamayiThere is a pre-existing harmony in everything. The problem is the human being. It may be true that one single Incarnation of God may not he able to bring that peace and harmony in the entire world. It's only because of that harmony that they could create in the world and in people's mind that the world still exists and that there is always a balance. Otherwise, things could be much worse.
