Sri Anandamayi Ma is a beloved Hindu Saint who graced our planet from 1896 to 1982. She was a vegetarian with a compassionate love for every living being. Her acceptance of all faiths and backgrounds, along with her universal teachings of Divine love and joy, has enabled countless people from different walks of life to benefit from her wisdom. Today, it is a pleasure to share selections from the book, “Sad Vani: A collection of the teachings of Sri Anandamayi Ma,” recorded and translated by her devotees Bhaiji and Atmananda respectively, where the devoted Saint gives guidance on how to be close to God. “By frequenting the company of sages, saints and seekers after Truth, by harboring only pure and noble thoughts and emotions, by listening to religious discourses, and by reading books of wisdom, will be provided the right sustenance for the mind, inwardly as well as outwardly. Gradually, you become free from all worries until at last you find your rest in the Supreme.” “The mind is its own friend or foe, the mind itself has to destroy its own ignorance. The easiest and most effective means for purging the mind is to associate with saints and seekers after Truth and to ceaselessly invoke the Name of God.” “Gradually, the glorious moment will dawn when one’s whole being will be united in single-minded contemplation and the inner and outer welded into one.” “Truly speaking, it is not you who call Him, but He who calls you. Just as in the hushed silence of night, the sound of distant temple bells can be clearly heard, even so, when through intense and undivided devotion to Him the hunger of the senses is stilled. His call will find response from your inmost depths and reverberate through your whole being. Then, and then only, will true prayer spontaneously flow from your heart.”“Without respect, reverence cannot develop, and without reverence, love will not awaken; when love is wanting, the Lord of Love recedes into the far distance and will be difficult to find.”
