God 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 AmritanandamayiThere is no short cut to God; sadhana must be performed regularly and with devotion. It is our own effort which will enable us to experience the grace of God which is being showered on us all the time. Therefore, whatever spare time you get, use it to seek God. If you create peace in your own heart by doing sadhana, then that will have a positive effect on your family, your work and so on. The peace and love of God will overflow out of your heart and encourage others to move on the right path.
Mata AmritanandamayiOur efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.
