Amma's Words on the Goal

[Guest guest]

"A true devotee completely surrenders to God.  He longs for God to

kill his ego.  That he will not be able to surrender to God or that

God won't destroy his ego is a true seeker's greatest fear.  Look at

the fierce form of Kali.  Kali is the destroyer of the ego.  Because

a true seeker wants to be free from the ego, he will love this aspect

of the Divine Mother.  Surrendering to Kali or to what she

represents, a true devotee will happily offer his head to Her in

order to add one more head to Kali's garland of skulls."  - Ammachi,

Awaken Children, Vol.6, p212 (0432)

 

[A visiting sadhak asks Mother how one can attain complete

surrender]  "Saranagati (complete self-surrender) is not something

which can be taught verbally.  It will come if you develop love and

faith.  Pure and innocent love for God is what is really needed.  The

mind should long to become one with God."  - Ammachi, Awaken

Children, Vol.4, p62 (0069)

 

"The predominant tendency in human beings is to attract as much

attention as possible. They want to be praised and recognized,

believing that it is their birth right. This is all food for the ego

which thrives on attention. How are you going to know the Self if

your ego is constantly craving attention?" - Ammachi, Awaken

Children, Vol. 7 p6 (0932)

 

"That "I" which fills the whole universe is the real "I". When the

awareness that "I am not the body, I am the Self" awakens, we will

understand that nothing is different from Brahman( The Absolute ). At

that time, we will know through experience that everything is "I"

alone." - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol. 1 p55 (0768)
