Children, those who are unmarried should conserve their vital energy by maintaining celibacy. To turn what we gain by this in to ojas (vitality), we also need to do spiritual practice. With increase in ojas, our intelligence, memory, health and beauty will also increase. We will gain lasting mental quietude.
Mata AmritanandamayiIf you perform your work viewing it as your dharma, your actions become sacred.
Mata AmritanandamayiThe factor stringing together individuals, society and nature is missing from today's educational system. That factor is spiritual values.
Mata AmritanandamayiWriting a diary every evening before going to bed is a good habit. We can record in the diary how much time we have devoted to our spiritual practice. The diary should be written in a way that helps us see our mistakes and correct them. It should not be a mere document of other peoples' faults or our daily transactions.
