Sri Anandamayi Ma
As The Flower Sheds its Fragrance
"When approaching God, one has to give everything, all one possesses. But people say: "How am I to give up my pride, my anger, my self-importance, how can I bear insult without a murmur?' When you give everything, you get everything." -Anandamayee Ma
"The Universe was created out of joy and this is why you find joy in the fleeting things of the world. Without joy, life is an ordeal. You must try to attain to that great joy which has brought forth the world." -Anandamyee Ma
