Amma Says
- കടലില് നീന്താന് പഠിച്ചവന് തിരമാല വരുമ്പോള് അതില് ആനന്ദിക്കുന്നു, ആസ്വദിക്കുന്നു. നീന്തറിയാത്തവന് അതേ തിരയേറ്റു തളര്ന്നു മുങ്ങിമരിക്കുന്നു. അതുപോലെ ആദ്ധ്യാത്മികത അറിഞ്ഞവനു ജീവിതത്തില് ഓരോ നിമിഷവും ആനന്ദകരമാണു്. ഓരോ പ്രതിബന്ധത്തെയും അവന് പുഞ്ചിരിയോടെ നേരിടുന്നു. -അമ്മpic.twitter.com/8lCYfv0DKH
- അമിട്ടു പൊട്ടാന് പോകുന്നുവെന്നു് അറിഞ്ഞുനിന്നാല് പേടിക്കേണ്ട ആവശ്യമില്ല. ലോകത്തിൻ്റെ സ്വഭാവം ഇന്നതാണെന്നറിഞ്ഞു ജീവിച്ചാല് നിസ്സാരകാര്യങ്ങള്ക്കു മുന്പില് തളരേണ്ടി വരില്ല. -അമ്മpic.twitter.com/v3mO6iieLd
- It may take 30 years to push a large boulder up a steep hill, however it takes only a single push to undo all our years of hard work. Likewise a single negative person can pollute our mind and urge us to squander all our hard effort. - #Ammapic.twitter.com/5VUccSuzhT
- Be steadfast in your commitment to the spiritual path. We should not lend an ear to words that may turn us away from the path to our goal. While moving towards the goal we may encounter many obstacles. Many people may discourage us but, we must move forward, ignoring them.pic.twitter.com/gzaDCmPNuE

- സത്യവും അസത്യവും, നന്മയും തിന്മയും, ദേവനും അസുരനും കൂടികലർന്നു കിടക്കുന്ന ഒരു നിഗൂഢതയാണ് മനുഷ്യമനസ്സ്. അവിടെ അടിഞ്ഞുകൂടി കിടക്കുന്നതിൽ വച്ച് ഏറ്റവും നിന്ദ്യവും നികൃഷ്ടവും അപകടകരവുമായ വൈകല്യങ്ങളിൽ ഒന്നാണ് ലൗകിക ചൂഷണവും ആക്രമിക്കാനുമുള്ള വാസന . #ChildAbuse #InterfaithAlliancepic.twitter.com/HRGLB5DT3C
