I like Sri Anandamayi Ma sayings so here are a few of hers:
“It may be asked, why there cannot be one and the same path for all? Because He reveals Himself in infinite ways and forms — verily, The One is
all of them.”
― Anandamayi Ma
It is of course true that the human body lives by breathing, and hence there is suffering. ( Human life, in fact animal life in general, depends on
breathing, which is a sign of disturbance in the universal equilibrium. The entire creation is characterised by this disturbance. The process of
breathing implies a dual movement, inward and outward, and a periodic rest between the two. The state of harmony can be reached by getting rid of this
urge for movement, by attaining to repose, calm and peace. This is possible through yoga. When one is in a state of perfect poise, there is no longer
any need to breathe.)
God is within everyone, but man goes out in search of Him. This is what constitutes God's Play and God's Creation.
Sri Anandamayi Ma
Even though you may want to push God the Mother aside, She will never leave you. Are you not her offspring? A mother does what is good and beneficial
for her child. She gives to her scion exactly what is needed, not more and not less. Her forgiveness knows no limits, this is why she is called
MOTHER. If with deep faith, devotion and love you can exclaim: 'Mother, come to me, I cannot pass my days without you', rest assured, the Universal
Mother will spread out Her arms and clasp you to Her heart. Don't look up to Her only as a mysterious refuge in your hour of distress. Keep in mind,
She is always very, very near as the Force that guides your life. She Herself is the supreme refuge of every sentient being. With this conviction
proceed. She will take the brunt of your burdens from your shoulders and make them light.
Sri Anandamayi Ma
Your sorrow, your pain, your agony is indeed my sorrow. This body understands everything. You may want to leave this body. But this body won't leave
you for a single day - it does not and never will leave you. One, who has once been attracted to this body, even though he may make a thousand
attempts, will not be able to efface or blot out the memory of this body. It will remain and persist in his memory for all time.
Sri Anandamayi Ma
Whenever you possibly can, sustain the flow of a sacred Name. To repeat His name is to be in His presence. If you associate with the Supreme Friend,
He will reveal His true being to you.
Sri Anandamayi Ma
Always bear this in mind: Everything is in God's hands, and you are His tool to be used by Him as He pleases. Try to grasp the significance of 'all is
His'. and you will immediately feel free from all burdens. What will be the result of your surrender to Him? None will seem alien, all will be your
very own Self.
Sri Anandamayi Ma
Joys and sorrows are time-born and cannot last. Therefore, do not be perturbed by these. The greater the difficulties and obstructions, the more
intense will be your endeavor to cling to His feet and the more will your prayer increase from within. And when the time is ripe, you will gain
mastery over this power.
Sri Anandamayi Ma
