We must remember that man is not an island, totally isolated and disconnected from others. We are all part of a universal chain, or the universal consciousness. What happens to one happens to all.
Mata AmritanandamayiFinding fault in others, just for the sake of finding fault, we will pollute our own minds.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe person who constantly studies without doing spiritual practice is like the fool who attempts to live in the blueprint of a house.
Mata AmritanandamayiYou can lead a truly spiritual life while remaining a householder. You will be able to enjoy the bliss of the Self, but your mind has to be on God all the time. Then you can easily attain bliss. A mother bird will be thinking of the young ones in the nest, even when she is out looking for food. Similarly, you have to keep your mind on God, while engaged in all worldly actions. The important thing is to be completely dedicated to God or the Guru. Once you have that dedication, the goal will not be far away.
