October and November Satsang Activities



"Extending help without expecting anything in return is real service. It is the power that sustains the world. To love and serve with dedication can be compared to a circle, for a circle has no beginning
or end. Love does not have a beginning or end either. Through selfless service, we can construct a bridge of love to bring us all together." 

"Once, a band of thieves robbed a person of his valuables, bound him with rope, and pushed him inside a well. The victim shouted for help. Hearing his calls, a few people went to the well. Seeing him, they threw a rope inside the well and saved him. A rope bound him. Later, another rope saved him. Similarly, the mind alone is the cause of both bondage and liberation. We can lock the door when we turn the key towards left; unlock the door when we turn towards the right. But the key remains the same. How we use it determines whether we unlock the door or not. Similarly, the mind alone is the cause of both bondage and liberation. Most of our sorrows are caused by misconceptions. At dusk, the sun sets into the sea. A child cries, imagining the sun is drowning. Such is the case with most of our sorrows.” - Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi)
