Serving the world…

Hey all…
    Here’s another quote by Mata Amritandamayi for you :)

Serving the world with love and cooperation, you will find your own true Self. As you help those in need, selfishness will fall away, and without even noticing you will find your own fulfillment.
Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi)

    So true… At first, you feel sick and disgusted when you look at the real world. Then you feel that you CAN do something to make it better. Then you keep aside time for the “doing something” and DO IT. While doing it, you feel, “Its a big waste of time, but then its worth sacrificing my happiness for the happiness of others!”

    But all of a sudden you realize that you feel entirely please and wholesome. You feel extremely happy to see all those smiling faces looking at you. You find happiness in serving the world.

    THAT is what is absolute realization…

    When I started with BlogForPeace, and told my friend, a good philosopher and guide, that I would be donating all proceeds to charity, he scoffed. A few months back, when I finally started earning something really good from this blog, I told my friend that after I had recovered the hosting amount, I will be donating the rest to charity.

    At that time, he told me that I have a huge heart and an open mind to do that! He told me that most of the people wont do such things, because the rather keep the money for themselves. I told him, that I find joy in helping the world, and he replied that very few people find joy in such futile exercises…

    Now, when I look back at all those conservations, I feel that he was being extremely silly. I’ve donated more than $300 already to charity. And that was ENTIRELY earned from BlogForPeace. And I feel good :) I feel extremely HAPPY to have done that. My friend was wrong… I dont have a very open heart or mind. I’m one of the most selfish people on Earth :D And still, I feel good to have helped this world in any little way I can…

    If I can do it, then I’m sure that you definitely can! Yes, Amma’s saying is quite true and worldly. “…even without noticing, you will find your own fulfillment…“

    Serve the world. Help make it better. Campaign against war. Aid the poor and diseased. Conserve our Nature. Protect other living organisms. And lets make this world, a truly better place to live in! Lets make ourselves proud by the image of Mother Earth, rather than feeling ashamed with her woes. Lets give this groaning Earth a reason to smile!

Is God a Man or a Woman? - Amma

Is
God a Man or a Woman ? The answer to this question is neither—-
God is That. But if you must give God a gender, God is more
female than male, for he is contained in She.
Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi)
