Amma Says
- Knowledge is light; ignorance is darkness. The day that we remember with humility and gratitude all the gurus that held our hand and led us from the world of darkness into the world of light is Guru Purnima. -#Amma #GuruPurnimapic.twitter.com/gbphgIKnr2
- गुरु हमारा सबसे उत्तम एवं विश्वसनीय मित्र है जो हमें इस सत्य के प्रति जागृत करता है कि, 'मैं यह छोटा सा जीव (देह-मन-बुद्धि वाला)नहीं हूँ; मैं अनन्त हूँ, गगन समान व्यापक हूँ। मैं पूर्णत्व ही हूँ।' 2/2 #GuruPurnima #GuruPurnima2019pic.twitter.com/ZqCFs4vmZi
- गुरु-पूर्णिमा अपने भीतर ही पूर्णत्व को पाने का अनुस्मारक है। अपने मन की छोटी-छोटी खिड़कियों से देखने पर, हम अपने और जगत के विषय में ग़लत निष्कर्ष पर पहुँचते हैं। 1/2 #GuruPurnima
- The guru is the noblest and trusted friend who awakens us to the reality that, “I am not this small entity (body, mind and the intellect); I am the infinite, as pervasive as the sky. I am fullness itself.” - #Amma 2/2 #GuruPurnimapic.twitter.com/WDUbiBuUnw
- Guru Purnima is a reminder to find our Purnatvam—our fullness—within. Looking through the small windows of our mind, we come to wrong conclusions about ourselves and the world. 1/2 #GuruPurnima

Only by fostering motherhood can our culture be sustained

Learn to live happily
Question: Is it possible to experience supreme bliss living in the world? Amma: Certainly. It is to be experienced while you are still in the body. It is not something to be attained after death. Like the mind and body, spirituality and worldliness are two facets of life. They cannot exist totally separated from each […]
