Amma ~ feel the suffering of others as your own

[Guest guest]

0060.[After visiting, hugging and talking with some very poor Tamil

families] "Poor children. Mother is deeply wounded in Her mind,

seeing these people's suffering. Who will take care of them? People

talk about helping the poor, but no one seems to be doing anything

for them. ... These children might have misused such gifts [God

given faculties] in their previous births, and that is why they are

suffering now. Still it is our duty to have compassion for them. In

fact God created the rich to help the poor, the healthy to assist the

unhealthy, and normal human beings to help and serve the mentally

retarded and physically deformed." - Ammachi, Awaken Children,

Vol.4, P56

 

0061.[A devotee asked, "Amma, why does God keep quiet when people are

suffering like this? Can't He do something to remove it?"] Mother

replies: "Yes, He did something, son. He created us, hoping that we

would do something to help them. We should think of them. We should

try to feel their suffering." - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol.4, p56

 

0062."We have never suffered in our lives, so we don't even know what

suffering is. We consider our personal problems as big and

important. But children, there are more important things in this

world. There are far bigger problems to solve. Yet we think of our

own problems only. We do not consider other's problems nor feel any

compassion for them. That is our biggest problem." - Ammachi,

Awaken Children, Vol.4, p56

 

0063."We do not have a heart that feels the sorrow of others. We

feel happy when our neighbors are unhappy, and we feel unhappy when

they are glad. But Mahatmas reflect both the happiness and

unhappiness of others and express them sincerely. That is the

difference between a mortal being and a Mahatma. He has the heart to

feel other's sorrow and suffering. The sorrow of others is his

sorrow, and the happiness of others is his own happiness. But

ordinary human beings are totally self-centered. Children, try to

hear the cries and know the pains of suffering people." - Ammachi,

Awaken Children, Vol.4, p58

Thank you so much. These words of Mother are so vital at this time of

suffering in the world.
