Just as our bodies need proper food to live and develop, our souls need love to blossom. The strength and nourishment that love can give our souls is even more potent than the nourishing power of a mother's milk for a baby.
Mata AmritanandamayiDeath is not complete annihilation. It is a pause. It is like pressing the pause button on a tape recorder.
Mata AmritanandamayiGod realization and self-realization are one and the same. God-realization is nothing but the ability and expansiveness of heart to love everything equally.
Mata AmritanandamayiIt is man who, through his thoughts and actions, creates turmoil and disintegration in the natural, harmonious unity of the world.
Mata AmritanandamayiRemember to set apart at least one hour every day to do some service for others. While the food we eat nurtures our bodies, it is what we give in charity that nurtures our souls. If time is not available daily, reserve at least a few hours every week for some worthwhile act of charity.
