Stillness!

882. Om yajna-kartryai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the doer of sacrificial rites
From my favourite Daily Amma Quotes page on facebook:

"The mind can be compared to a pendulum. Like the incessant movement of a clock's pendulum, the pendulum of the mind swings back and forth from happiness to sorrow. When the pendulum of the clock moves to one extreme, it is only gaining enough momentum to swing back to the other end. Likewise, when the pendulum of the mind moves toward happiness, it is only gaining the momentum to reach the other pole of sorrow. Real peace and happiness can be experienced only when the pendulum of the mind stops swinging altogether. From that stillness, real peace and bliss ensue. This state of perfect stillness is verily the essence of life.": AMMA

Om Amriteswariye namah!
