Amma on Human Mind



“In fact, the most serious problem facing the world today is the pollution of the human mind and the increase in selfishness and cruelty.” Amma said. “This is the root of all the others problems facing the world today. Everything in the world is changing—with one exception: our negative mental state! Our personality is a reflection of our mind. The ability of human beings to rise up to a situation and act is slowly disappearing. In the name of stability and competition, mankind is allowing their lives to be led by hatred, revenge and stubbornness.”


Amma told the devotees that she felt if people took the necessary steps, moving forward with awareness and discrimination, that the various problems the world is facing could be mitigated. But she lamented the fact that human beings are losing their ability to stand up and face challenges and to follow through acting with determination.
It is only through spirituality, Amma said, that we can develop the strength that will empower us to face all the challenges life brings our way.
“In life, things rarely happen according to our expectations. This is why it is very important to develop the attitude of surrender to God. This will also help us to live in the present moment. If we learn to live in the present moment, we will be able to cheerfully accept any circumstance we may have to face in life.
“Only the present moment is in our hands. So, we must live in it joyfully, with alertness. It is said that the lifespan of a butterfly is only a few days to a week. Yet how joyously it flies around! It spreads delight and happiness to everyone. Our lives should become like this.”
“We should make sure that the flame of compassion in our hearts doesn’t become extinguished.”
“Only a person who has known hunger will understand the pangs of hunger in another person. Only a person who has carried a heavy load will understand the strain of carrying heavy weights. If each of us really wanted to, we could make a big difference in the world. The benefit of all the good actions that we perform with a selfless attitude will definitely come back to us.”
“We should develop a mind devoid of egoism—a mind that doesn’t fall apart in failure, a mind that finds joy in giving and accepts adversity with love. Such a mind will never experience sorrow.”
Amma concluded with a prayer: “May all our thoughts, words and actions benefit both others as well as ourselves. On this New Year’s Day, let us pray that our lives become like incense sticks, spreading a beautiful fragrance to the lives of one and all.”

Amma Save the tamils, Have compassion. Innocent people are dying day and night. Sri lankan tamils doesnt know begging, they dont know prostitution. But now sri lankan government is starving them to death, females and children are being raped and tortured and getting sold to prostitution. Prisoners and patients are being killed as they can take the organs to sell. What is this amma? i was never aware that humans are so cruel? Why are you also silent. Please speak out and tell why this is happening.

what amma said is right
while we born we r all born with love on heart(here i mentioned heart= manasu) but it has been over powered by mind, first of all why its over power our heart reason is need of selfishness, where ever need comes ppl become selfish examples r such has food,gold, land, money, girl, things.
discrimination comes only on the place where there is no love.
if person loved everyone and evry creature of god as same they wont discriminate anyone.
basic point is we all need to awaken the love which sleeps inside on our heart
a simple mind exersise can make us loving nature
how to do that?
its very simple technic follows:

1)Thnking yourself as supreme god by chanting "so ham" so - inhale, ham - exhale( iam supreme god or shiva) will give u a mind of not ignoring or discriminate anyone, when you have mind of ur supreme u will never hate any one and u will start loving all the creature as urself this is wat many yogis proven us
even according to mantra yoga when u chant ajaba and think as iam supreme only can give u control to control other devathas otherwise will get struck with them
even tantra yoga says the same to get wisdom eg of thirumoolar song => irutarai mulai yirun tha kizavi
kuruttuk kizavanaik kutal kuriththuk kurutinai naIkkik kunampala kaati marutti yavanai manampurin thale
for doing all this need "soham" mind


2)Having saatvic food will help us for good healthy emotionless mind should avoid tamasic foods such as non-veg ,garlic, onion, more salt,chilly, fry,deepfrying on oil items gives more chemical reaction n toxin to body also should take more greens atleast 15 days in month and fresh vegetable and fruits (while choosing a vegetable choose a vegetable which as insect whole preferably why iam saying it because vegetable which looks good mostly having a pestkiller chemical which farmer used to kill pest which is not good for our body)
important: avoid taking food which has preservatives, artificial colour, packed foods .

3)understand and read ur spirtual books regularly of any religion
no religion book says to kill or discriminate any one


these are the three top ways i know to awaken your love
sinhalese and person who r without love must surely practise any one of the way atleastehe

why this is happening?
hehehe its tough question
thats why god never appear before us
if he came, he cant able to answer any of your question
but saints get trapped because of god agents they cant be quiet for long
well i can tell ensure u something
after war gets over
politician= my politician has ended the war and saved u
UN = our commite saved u
US and uk = we made it
devotees of god and saint = my god or saint stopped and saved u all
sinhalese = we have stoped by ourself

so you r too early on raising question come after the war ends

tamils are inventor of many things in the world, well they discovered lot of hidden science still on science they have not found it
like medicine , alchemistry , geography, astrology, construction ,spirtuality and entire things
we all should be proud that we born as tamil
tamil is great language thats why many siddhars were born as tamil and main god of saivam (murugan) is leader of tamil

when king athiyaman and thondaiman got problem saint avvaiyar protected them by stoping war n blood wastage.

on period of rama saint agasthiyar did upadesa of aditya hirdaya to him to win on the war.

avvaiyar united all three great
legendary kings chera , chozha, pandya when they had problem.

when raja raja chozhan and rajendra chozhan lives karurar devar siddha supported them so they have ruled many places.

so it clearly shows that on olden days siddhars and saints supported people and good rulers and protected from evil ruler n evils

but this is not war they were killing people tryng to wipe out entire race
they cannot be forgiven at anycost
they have to meet the very worst karma for doing this all
"dharmathin vaazvu thannai sudu kaavum anaal iruthiyil tharma mey vellum" = bagvad gita

where are siddars all gone now ?
why they were not helping us ?
may be its karma

we are tamil we cannot be wiped by any dur shakthi

but iam sure of one thing

arasan andrey kolvaan , deivam nindru kollum- king will punish on that day itself , god will punish them surely but it will take some time


lets all hope soon good time comes to us
also hope today amma, ravishankar like godly person should involve and help us to solve the problem like avvaiyar and other siddhars made if amma wish she can surely change karma
