If we are not able to fix the Lord firmly in our hearts, even a lifetime of temple-going does not do us any good.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe intellect always cuts and divides like a pair of scissors. The heart sews things together and unites like a needle. The tailor uses both.
Mata AmritanandamayiAs long as her hands can move a little bit and reach out to those who come to Her, Amma will continue giving darshan.
Mata AmritanandamayiMany of us may have watched the waves at sea. They rise, then fall, then rise again, then fall again... and this cycle continues endlessly. It is the same with our experience of the world and its objects and relationships. We may find happiness, but this happiness will soon turn to sorrow. The sorrow that we feel will subsequently turn back to happiness but this oscillation continues endlessly. In order to maintain inner balance, we need to find peace within instead of depending on the external world.
Mata Amritanandamayi
