Ananandamayi Ma Quotes
- He alone knows to whom He will reveal Himself under which form.
By what path and in what manner He attracts any particular man to
Himself with great force is incomprehensible to the human intellect.
The Path differs indeed for different pilgrims.
- It is the craze for wealth that binds people. To be in bondage
means to destroy yourself.
- My consciousness has never associated itself with this temporary
body. Before I came on this earth ‘I was the same’. As a little girl
‘I was the same’. ………. Ever afterward, though the dance of creation
change around me, in the hall of eternity ‘I shall be the same’.
- Enquire: ‘Who am I?’ and you will find the answer. Look at a
tree: from one seed arises a huge tree; from it comes numerous
seeds, each one of which in its turn grows into a tree. No two
fruits are alike. Yet it is one life that throbs in every particle
of the tree. So, it is the same Atman (soul) everywhere.
- Grace is all the time showering like the rain; one should do a
little bit of spiritual practice just in order that one is able to
grasp it. The little bit of power you have – employ that! Read the
sacred texts, take his name, do chanting – as much as you have power
to do, go on doing. After that, He is there to do all that is to be
done. The stomach does not get filled if the morsel of food is only
put into the mouth.
- If you just place yourself under the protection of a Guru, then
the path which is most suitable for you will by itself open up to
you.
- Joys and sorrows are time-born and cannot last. Therefore, do
not be perturbed by these. The greater the difficulties and
obstructions, the more intense will be your endeavour to cling to
His feet and the more will your prayer increase from within. And
when the time is ripe, you will gain mastery over this power.
- Always bear this in mind: Everything is in God’s hands, and you
are His tool to be used by Him as He pleases. Try to grasp the
significance of ‘all is His’. and you will immediately feel free
from all burdens. What will be the result of your surrender to Him?
None will seem alien, all will be your very own Self.
- Verily, this body is also an utensil for puja (worship); do
remember that this is an utensil for puja, and do try to utilize it
only for the purpose of puja, and only then will you see that even
the inside is becoming clean.
- The individual suffers because he perceives duality. Find the
One everywhere and in everything and there will be an end to pain
and suffering.
