"Our thoughts are our own creation. We make them real by cooperating with them. If we withdraw our support, they will dissolve. Observe the thoughts closely, without labeling them. Then you will see them gradually going away.": Amma
Amma, who is the supreme truth, advises us to move to a state of mind where there are no thoughts. That state can only be achieved when we watch each thought as if we were looking at something as bystanders without identifying with it. The minute we engage with it, the thought takes on gargantuan proportions. Everything seems unreal and our own reactions become heightened. When we live in a state of Amma-consciousness, the only 'thought' or rather truth occupying our minds is the Divine. With that, we would have conquered our base thoughts and thus the root of all sorrow. We would have progressed from the purely material plain to a state of being in tune with the universe. But this is easily said than done. Mahatmas achieve this state after years of sadhana and meditation. We are lucky to be disciples of Amma who was born divine and has thus taken form on earth with the express purpose of spreading love and compassion to humankind and to make this journey of ours more joyful!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
