"Wherever we go, we find fault. Our minds become restless because of this. This habit should change. We should forget about the shortcomings of the place we are in and try to discover what is useful there and respect it. Always see only the good everywhere and in everything; then all our suffering will come to an end."
Ammachi -- Matruvani (Oct 05)

"The happiness that we gain from the outer world is fleeting; it never stays with you for long. It is there for one moment and the next moment it is gone. But, spiritual bliss is not like that. Once the final breakthrough happens, that is, once you transcend the limitations of body, mind and intellect, once you reach that state, there is no return. The bliss is forever. And it is infinite."

The color of the glasses differs according to a person's tendencies, but in all people identification with these vasanas is so strong that they feel that their judgments, and their judgments alone, are correct."
