If 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 AmritanandamayiA true spiritual seeker should exercise control all the time, throughout the day and night.
Mata AmritanandamayiJust 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 AmritanandamayiWe should serve others without any expectations whatsoever. When others throw thorns at us, we should be able to throw flowers back at them.
