Death is not complete annihilation. It is a pause. It is like pressing the pause button on a tape recorder.
Mata AmritanandamayiEvery night, contemplate: What good did I do today? How can I do better tomorrow?
Mata AmritanandamayiThe guru is not someone who is confined to the body. When there is selfless love for the guru, we will be able to see him not only in his body but in every living and nonliving thing in this world. Learn to see everything as the guru's body and to serve them accordingly.
Mata AmritanandamayiSociety is made up of individuals. The thoughts and actions of each individual influence the culture of that society. Instead of waiting for others to improve, we should try to improve ourselves. Once our attitude has changed, we will be able to perceive goodness throughout world. If there is a positive change in us, it will also be reflected in others. It is only what we give that we can hope to get back.
