Like the gold in gold ornaments, the water in waves, and the clay in earthenware, spirituality is the very ground of life in all its manifestations. Such is Amma's vision. For her, spirituality is not only in the mainstream of life, it is the very riverbed on which the current of existence flows, swirls and eddies.
Amma's all-encompassing perspective is reflected in this book, a compilation of 108 messages on a wide range of topics. They include ethics and moral consciousness, the harmonizing of spirituality with material progress, the relevance of rituals and traditions, meditation and mind management, attentiveness t, attentiveness and efficient action, the balance of head and heart, conflict resolution, love and compassion, the importance of living in the present moment, the necessity of a Guru, the bond between spouses, the role of spirituality in science, and so much more.
The sheer sweep of Amma's outlook is not only panoramic, it also reveals the perennial relevance of spirituality. As she says, "Spirituality is the management of life. It teaches us how to live in this world and how to overcome challenges."
The beauty of Amma's teachings, backed by the authority of insight and experience, lies in their simplicity and clarity. She thus makes timeless wisdom accessible to all. If we can take the advice she dispenses to heart, we can deepen our self-understanding and make our lives meaningful. Amma affirms that "Spirituality gives us an understanding of who and what we really are. This understanding makes us aware of our responsibilities, and we will then live in such a way as to benefit both ourselves and the world."
We pray that this book sheds the light of understanding in the lives of our dear readers and that it paves the way to a more auspicious future for them.
