How many of you know?

[ashokjain]

How many of you have known or heard about "Mother of Joy" or "Anandamayi Ma"?

If you have ever read "Autobiography of a yogi" by Paramahansa yogananda, you should be able to recall the chapter where Ma meets Paramahansa.

If not, you can know more about her at this link:

[ashokjain]

"It is the pure, undefiled flower that finds a place at the Feet of the Lord and nowhere else. Take great care to spend your life in spotless purity, worthy to be dedicated in worship to the Lord. Speak about Him, meditate on His Glory, try to see Him in everyone, Him who is Self, the breath of life, the heart of hearts. You feel lonely? In very truth you are not alone. Does the Supreme Friend ever forsake His friends?"

-Ma

[ashokjain]

All this, which is His creation, is under His dispensation, in His presence and is He.


In whatever state He keeps anyone at any time it is all for the good, for verily everything is ordained by Him, is of Him.


Relative happiness, which is happiness depending on anything, must end in grief. It is man’s duty to meditate on God, Who is peace itself. Without having recourse to that which aids the remembrance of God there can be no peace .Have you not seen what life in this world is? The one to be loved is God. In Him is everything --- Him you must try to find.

-Ma
