True happiness is when the love that is within us finds expression in external activities.
Mata AmritanandamayiLook at the optimism of Nature. Nothing can stop it. Only the ego makes humans pessimistic, and this causes suffering.
Mata AmritanandamayiLife is like a garden. Quite naturally, leaves wither and flowers fade. Only if we clear the decay of the past then and there can we really enjoy the beauty of the new leaves and flowers. Likewise, we must clear the murkiness of the past bad experiences from our minds. Life is remembrance in forgetfulness. Forgive what ought to be forgiven; forget what ought to be forgotten. Let us embrace life with renewed vigor. We should be able to face every moment of life with renewed expectation, like a freshly blossomed flower.
