Amma's teachings!

653. Om yoginyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is constantly united with Parashiva, who possesses the power of yoga


Very powerful messages from our divine master and awesome Mother!:

‘Many of us may have watched the waves at sea. They rise, then fall, then rise again, then fall again… and this cycle continues endlessly. It is the same with our experience of the world and its objects and relationships. We may find happiness, but this happiness will soon turn to sorrow. The sorrow that we feel will subsequently turn back to happiness but this oscillation continues endlessly. In order to maintain inner balance, we need to find peace within instead of depending on the external world.’
‘Set aside some time daily for reading spiritual books.  This indeed is also a form of satsang (holy company).  Have a book on your Guru’s teachings or a book like the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Bhagavata, Bible or Koran available for daily reading.  Memorize at least one verse from it daily.  In addition, read other spiritual books when time permits.  Reading the biographies and teachings of great masters will help us to strengthen the spirit of renunciation and to understand spiritual principles easily.  It is a good practice to take down notes while reading books and hearing spiritual discourses.  These notes will certainly benefit us in the future.’  
Om Amriteswariye namah!
