We should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, meditation is not just sitting with our eyes closed. We should take every action as worship. We should be able to experience His presence everywhere.
Mata AmritanandamayiMarried life, if lived with the proper love and understanding, helps awaken the feminine within a man, and the masculine within a woman.
Mata AmritanandamayiLook at Nature. Nature is a book from which we must learn. Each object in it is a page of that book.
Mata AmritanandamayiMake use of radio, TV and films discriminatively; only for programs that will enhance our knowledge and culture. Television is tele-visham (tele-poison, in Malayalam). If we are not careful, it can corrupt our culture, damage our eyes and drain away our time.
Mata AmritanandamayiPure love removes all negative feelings. Destroying all selfishness, it expects nothing but gives anything. Pure love is a constant giving up- giving up of everything that belongs to you. What really belongs to you? Only the ego. Love consumes in its flames all preconceived ideas, prejudices and judgments, all those things which stem from the ego. Pure love is nothing but the emptying of the mind of all its fears and the tearing off of all masks. It exposes the Self as it is.
