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.
Mata AmritanandamayiOur educational system needs to give equal importance to the intellect and the heart.
Mata AmritanandamayiEvery night, contemplate: What good did I do today? How can I do better tomorrow?
Mata AmritanandamayiIf we lose our money while traveling, think how frantically we search for it! In the same way, if we are unable to do japa even for a brief moment, we should grieve: 'Alas, Lord, I have lost so much time!' If there is such anguish, even the time we spend sleeping will not be wasted.
