Love( Amma ) is all there is !

[Guest guest]

So much love in all the posts,

I just had to post this.

Remember, LOVE does NOT exclude anything anyone anypath.

 

When Amma was asked about Her religion, She replied that Her

religion is LOVE !

"My religion is LOVE and SERVICE." ~ Amma.

"The eternal religion of the world is LOVE" says Amma

 

"LOVE is the foundation of the world. Where there is LOVE, there is

peace. Where there is selfishness, there is misery and suffering.

Learn from Mother Nature who gives of herself even though exploited

by man. Do only good deeds and look upon all as the children of the

Divine Mother." ~ Amma

 

"True LOVE is the state of complete fearlessness.

Fear is part and parcel of the mind( EGO ).

Therefore, fear and genuine LOVE cannot go together.

As the depth of LOVE increases the intensity of fear slowly

decreases." ~ Amma

 

"God is LOVE."

"LOVE is our true nature."

 

"Where there is LOVE, there is no ego, hatred, jealousy

and such other low mean, animal qualities"

 

"Where there is LOVE, there is no selfishness"

 

"Where there is LOVE, there is no separation"

"Where there is LOVE, there is no distance"

 

In answer to Amma's hugging marathons :

"Where there is LOVE, there is no effort"

"Where there is LOVE, there is no tiredness"

 

"Where there is LOVE, there is PEACE

"Where there is LOVE, real listening happens"

 

"Where there is LOVE, there God is to be found"

"Where there is LOVE, there is no fear"

"Where there is LOVE, there is joy"

 

"LOVE can heal all wounds!"

 

"Where there is kindness there is hope!"

 

"There is no difficulty that enough LOVE will not conquer; no

disease that enough LOVE will not heal; no door that enough LOVE

will not open. If you could only LOVE enough, you could be the most

powerful person in the world."

-EMMET FOX

 

"Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never

cease to be amused."

 

"Where there is LOVE the heart is light,

Where there is LOVE the day is bright,

Where there is LOVE there is a song

To help when things are going wrong.

Where there is LOVE there is a smile

To make all things seem more worthwhile,

Where there is LOVE there's a quiet peace,

A tranquil place where turmoils cease

LOVE changes darkness into light

And makes the heart take wingless flight."

~ Helen Steiner Rice

 

QUOTATIONS FROM MOTHER THERESA

If you judge people, you have no time to love them. -Mother Theresa

It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.

I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy, I woke and I saw that

life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and in reach of every hand.

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there

is no hurt, but only more love.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the

beginning of love.

Intense love does not measure; it just gives.

Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband,

smile at your children, smile at each other -- it doesn't matter who

it is -- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each

other.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger

for bread.

We are all pencils in the hand of God.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great

love.

Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let

no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the

living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness

in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm

greeting.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong

to each other.

Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it

is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other

in your family.

We can do no great things; only small things with great love.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being

unloved.

I believe in person to person. Every person is Christ for me, and

since there is only one Jesus, that person is the one person in the

world at that moment.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be

extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength

lies. It doesn't matter who it is, and that will help you to grow up

in greater love for each other.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are

truly endless.

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to

love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to

relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone

unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where

our love for each other must start.

We sometimes feel that what we do is just a drop in the ocean, but

the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.

There should be less talk. A preaching point is not a meeting point.

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than

for bread.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake

of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion

come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to

do it as beautifully as possible.

The trouble is that rich people, well-to-do people, very often don't

really know who the poor are; and that is why we can forgive them,

for knowledge can only lead to love, and love to service. And so, if

they are not touched by them, it's because they do not know them.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being

unloved.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

Love has a hem to her garment that reaches the very dust. It sweeps

the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the

ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness,

of understanding, of peace. The rest will be given.

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.

In the name of the hungry, of the naked, of the crippled, of the

homeless, of the blind, in their name, I accept the award.

If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk

to your enemies.

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To

keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in

unkindness.
