“Widen your shriveled heart, make the interests of others your own and serve them as much as you can by sympathy, kindness, presents and so forth. So long as one enjoys the things of this world and has needs and wants, it is necessary to minister to the needs of one's fellow men. Otherwise one cannot be called a human being. Whenever you have the opportunity, give to the poor, feed the hungry, nurse the sick - do service as a religious duty and you will come to know by direct perception that the person served, the one who serves and the act of service are separate only in appearance.” KnowsMenWorldWantNeedsGivingHumansHeartPersonsLongOpportunityEnjoyInterestReligiousHuman BeingsPoorKindnessThis WorldDutyPerceptionDirectSickFellowsAppearanceHungryMinistersNurseFellow ManNeeds And WantsActs Of Service Author:Anandamayi Ma
“As you love your own body, so regard everyone as equal to your own body. When the Supreme Experience supervenes, everyone's service is revealed as one's own service. Call it a bird, an insect, an animal or a man, call it by any name you please, one serves one's own Self in every one of them.” MenSelfBodyNamesAnimalLove YouPleaseEqualBirdRegardSupremeInsects Author:Anandamayi Ma
“He alone knows to whom He will reveal Himself under which form. By what path and in what manner He attracts any particular man to Himself with great force is incomprehensible to the human intellect. The Path differs indeed for different pilgrims.” KnowsMenHumansDifferentFormForcePathParticularIntellectPilgrim Author:Anandamayi Ma
“A tree is like a saint. It calls no one to itself, nor does it send anyone away. It offers to protect everyone who wants to come to it, whether this be a man, a woman, a child, or an animal.” MenWantChildrenDoeAnimalTreeOffersProtectSaintBe A Man Author:Anandamayi Ma
“Saints are like trees. They do not call to anyone, neither do they send anyone away. They give shelter to whoever cares to come, be it a man, woman, child, or an animal. If you sit under a tree it will protect you from the weather, from the scorching sun as well as from the pouring rain, and it will give you flowers and fruit. Whether a human being enjoys them or a bird tastes of them matters little to the tree; its produce is there for anyone who comes and takes it.” IfsMenGivingHumansWellsChildrenLittlesMatterCareEnjoyHuman BeingsAnimalSunTreeProduceFlowerTasteProtectBirdRainFruitSaintWeatherShelterMen WomenPouringProtect YouScorchingPouring Rain Author:Anandamayi Ma
