Words from Anandamayi Ma
One who serves God can never be helpless. The more ardently one seeks communion by engaging in japa, His service and contemplation, the fuller will be His revelation.
Wisdom for the World-weary Traveler
A person who does not for the love of God and with a cheerful heart, acquit himself of whatever responsibility that may fall to his lot at any time-- will find life excessively burdensome and never be able to accomplish anything. Man’s duty — more especially for those who have made the Supreme Quest their one and only aim —is to work joyfully for the uplift of the world, with the conviction that all service is His service. Work done in such a spirit helps to purify both mind and heart.
Worldly occupations and business are bound to cause worry; it cannot be otherwise. The only way to meet it is by endurance, endurance and more endurance. Having dived down among the waves of the sea one has got to rise up again. The talents and the work God has entrusted to you are meant for His service and for nothing else — bear this in mind!
Many feel the urge to create a new and better world. Rather than let your thoughts dwell on such matters, you should concentrate on That by the contemplation of which there is hope of perfect peace. It is man’s duty to become a seeker after God or Truth.
