Om shanti shanti shanti
translation:
Om. That is perfect. This is perfect.
From the perfect springs the perfect.
If the perfect is taken from the perfect,
The perfect remains.
Om, peace to all, peace to all, peace to all.
"Children, love the poor wholeheartedly. Go to
their level. Believe that is is your dhama, your god-given duty
to love and serve the poor. No matter how rich we are, as long as
we are not prepared to be compassionate towards the poor, we are
truly living in utter poverty. Such people are destitutes in the
eyes of god. It is no use lighting a lamp before god and making
offerings in the temple if you do not care to provide some light
to the unlit hovels of the poor. We should love them and serve them.
Without this, no amount of meditation we may do will bestow on us
the bliss of meditation. It is kindness and service to others that
impart the sweetness of meditation."
-AMMA
