Amma on friendship with God!

565. Om mitra-rupinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the friend of everyone, friend of the Universe


My best friend, who listens to my problems. Who will do something about it, who will care enough. Unlike others who will hear my problems only so they can gossip, Amma will look at my worries and problems like a mother and ensure that it disappears. I rest my worries by Your divine feet, Amma. Only You have the power to solve them.
Amma says: ‘Enlightenment means the ability to recognise oneself in all living creatures. We should be able to help others and love them as if we see ourselves in them. That is the goal of spiritual practices.”Yet another beautiful saying by Amma: “As you help those in need, selfishness will fall away. And, without even noticing you will find your own fulfillment.”
And here's a superb one I intend to make a life blueprint:
"No matter who causes you grief, take your complaints to the meditation room, where your real friend is. In addition to your husband or wife, you should have a friend — and that friend should be God. Even if your husband or wife makes you unhappy, tell that to God, and not to anyone else.
If your neighbor picks a fight with you, go to the meditation room and complain, ‘Why did you let him treat me like that? Weren’t you with me?’ Open your heart and tell God everything. Then it becomes a satsang."
Om Amriteswariye namah!
