Amma says. . .

[Guest guest]

" Into the cup of the intellect pour devotion, and drink! "

 

" If you enter a temple, circle the sanctum, place an offering in the

box, and kick the beggar at the door---where is your devotion? " (Being

children of Amma the Great Mother truly we are all beggars.)

 

" We are all links in th chain of Life. If one link is weak, so is the

entire chain. Each thought and action has to power to brighteen or

darken many lives. "

 

" When love catches fire, the beloved comes. When the student wakes, the

teacher appears. "

 

" Your mind isn't prepared to know the Supreme, but a teacher can help

make it ready. "

 

" Experiencing the presence of a realized master is like being reborn. "

 

" The master destroys obstacles and reveals to the seeker the sacred

path. "

 

" Because the master has a universal mind, the master knows what we

need. "

 

" Faith in the teacher and her words protect us like a mother. "

 

" As water flows downhill, the teacher's grace naturally flows toward the

person with faith. "

 

" As a mother loves her baby, the teacher showers pure selfless love. "

 

" To the teacher we may tell all our sorros---she does not get angry but

guides us with love. "

 

" A true master is an endlessly loving alchemist who transfoms students

into pure gold. "

 

" The master, like a sculptor, chips away the stone to reveal the divine

Self buried within. "

 

" Satyam bruyat, priyam bruyat, na bruyat satyamapriyam. " This means, "

Speak the truth; speak only plesing words, do not speak unkind words

even if they are true. " Vedic saying

 

May all Brothers and Sisters in Amma be blessed these Holy days.
