When humanity serves Nature, Nature serves humanity. When we serve animals and plants, they too serve us in return.
Mata AmritanandamayiAs long as her hands can move a little bit and reach out to those who come to Her, Amma will continue giving darshan.
Mata AmritanandamayiIn today's world, people experience two types of poverty: the poverty caused by lack of food, clothing and shelter, and the poverty caused by lack of love and compassion. Of these two, the second type needs to be considered first because if we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter.
Mata AmritanandamayiNo one becomes pure and selfless overnight; it involves time and concentrated effort, coupled with tremendous patience and love.
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.
