Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 The essence of Amma's message to the world is that we should realize the great opportunity we have as human beings to cultivate inner beauty and ultimately to attain spiritual liberation, so that we can offer our selfless service to the entire universe. The true purpose of human life lies in the development of such dharmic virtues as compassion, truthfulness, dispassionate wisdom, contentment, and selfless love. These virtues produce a peaceful state of mind that is extremely conducive to true, deep meditation. It is only in deep meditation that we come into contact with the divine inner Self-the Atman. Amma describes this true Self in many ways-as eternal bliss, highest truth, purity, peace, wisdom, the light of lights, and so on. Eventually, through the combination of sincere personal striving and the descent of divine grace, we can merge permanently with the eternal light of supreme Divine Consciousness. This is the ultimate fulfillment of our human birth, and it is the destiny of all beings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
