What we need is peace of mind. We can gain that only through the control of our mind.
Mata AmritanandamayiIf the goal is to realize the Supreme Being, you should become egoless. That requires self-effort. The sadhak should work hard. He should pray sincerely for the removal of the negative tendencies. This prayer is not to achieve anything or to fulfill any desires. It is to go beyond all achievements. It is to transcend all desires.
Mata AmritanandamayiLove one another without any expectations. Then, there is no need to go anywhere in search of heaven.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe beauty and charm of selfless love and service should not die away from the face of this earth. The world should know that a life of dedication is possible, that a life inspired by love and service to humanity is possible.
Mata AmritanandamayiOur hearts are the shrine; that is where God should be installed. Our good thoughts are the flowers to worship Him. Good deeds form the worship, good words form the hymns and love forms the offering.
