Each and every object in Nature teaches us something. Renunciation and selflessness are the greatest lessons to learn from Nature.
Mata AmritanandamayiCompassion can shoulder the suffering of the entire world without feeling the slightest bit of pain.
Mata AmritanandamayiIf we are not able to fix the Lord firmly in our hearts, even a lifetime of temple-going does not do us any good.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, we may go to the temple, reverently circumambulate the sanctum sanctorum and put our offering in the charity box, but on our way out if we kick the beggar at the door, where is our devotion? Compassion towards the poor is our duty to God. Mother is not saying that we should give money to every beggar that sits in front of a temple, but do not despise them. Pray for them as well. When we hate others, it is our own mind that becomes impure. Equality of vision is God.
