One should see any opportunity to serve as a rare and precious gift...and never waste such an opportunity.
Mata AmritanandamayiAs you help those in need, selfishness will fall away. And, without even noticing you will find your own fulfillment.
Mata AmritanandamayiChildren, we can grow spiritually only if we see the guru as the manifestation of God. We should not accept anyone as guru before we are fully convinced personally that he is authentic and truthful. Once we choose someone as guru, we should surrender completely to him. Only then will spiritual development be possible. Devotion to the guru means total surrender to him.
