“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

“Divine happiness, even the tiniest particle of a grain of it, never leaves one again; and when one attains to the essence of things and finds one's Self-this is supreme happiness. When it is found, nothing else remains to be found; the sense of want will not awaken anymore, and the heart's torment will be stilled forever. Do not be satisfied with fragmentary happiness, which is invariably interrupted by shocks and blows of fate; but become complete, and having attained to perfection, be YOURSELF.” WantHeartSelfFoundForeverFateDivinePerfectionEssenceRemainsBlowSupremeSatisfiedBeing YourselfShockGrainTormentParticlesInterrupted Author:Anandamayi Ma
