Our hearts are the shrine; that is where God should be installed. Our good thoughts are the flowers to worship Him. Good deeds form the worship, good words form the hymns and love forms the offering.
Mata AmritanandamayiPure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.
Mata AmritanandamayiToo much reasoning has spoiled the contemporary mind. People have lost their hearts and faith.
Mata AmritanandamayiMany priests and employees at temples work for pay. No one should judge religion on the basis of the shortcomings of such workers. We should frame suitable rules and regulations for preventing them from falling prey to material temptations. The true guiding spirits of religion are those who engage in selfless service while dedicating their entire lives to attaining the vision of God.
Mata AmritanandamayiThankfulness is a humble, open and prayerful attitude that helps you receive more of God's grace.
Mata AmritanandamayiNobody likes to let go of the ego- it is so precious to everyone. However, once you have attained a state of egolessness, the world won't disappear, as you may think it will. The world will continue, but a change takes place within you. Something is uncovered. You start seeing everything with the wonder and innocence of a child.
