Death is not complete annihilation. It is a pause. It is like pressing the pause button on a tape recorder.
Mata AmritanandamayiToo much concern about physical security and too little concern about spirituality is the hallmark of today's world.
Mata AmritanandamayiProblems arise when you identify with your thoughts and emotions. Try to be a witness to the thoughts instead of being totally identified with them.
Mata AmritanandamayiReal happiness in life comes from the mental capacity to adapt to any situation.
Mata AmritanandamayiMany people meditate in order that a third eye may open. For that they feel they should close their two physical eyes. They thereby become blind to the world. But the fact is that the third eye will never open. We can never close our eyes to the world in the name of spirituality. Self-realization is the ability to see ourselves in all beings. This is the third eye through which you see, even while your two eyes are open. We should be able to love and serve others, seeing ourselves in them. This is the fulfillment of spiritual practice.
