Only when human beings are able to perceive and acknowledge the Self in each other can there be real peace.
Mata AmritanandamayiToday people live to work rather than work for a living. They have forgotten their true goal in life. Subsequently they have forgotten their dharma. There is no communication between hearts, there is no sharing. Having lost contact with other's hearts, we become totally isolated. But in truth we are not isolated islands, we are links that form one chain.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe intellect always cuts and divides like a pair of scissors. The heart sews things together and unites like a needle. The tailor uses both.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, set aside at least half an hour in the morning and in the evening for spiritual practices. After bathing in the morning, a family should sit together and worship. Archana may be performed by chanting the 108 or 1000 Names of Devi or our chosen deity. We can also chant our mantra, meditate or sing hymns at this time.
