Anandamayi Ma and the self

Anandamayi Ma (1896-1982) was an Indian mystic. There are 4 quotes listed below.

1. "...we can realize our true nature, the Atman. Having been born as human beings, we must not waste this opportunity. At least for a few seconds everyday, we must enquire as to who we are." (Ananda Varta Quarterly)

2. "Wherever God may keep you at any time, from there itself must you undertake the pilgrimage to God-realization." (AZQuotes.com)

3. "In God's empire, it is forgetfulness of him that is detrimental. The way to peace lies in the remembrance of him and of him alone." (AZQuotes.com)

4. "Always bear this in mind: everything is in God's hands, and you are his tool to be used by him as he pleases. Try to grasp the significance of 'all is his' and you will immediately feel free from all burdens. What will be the result of your surrender to him? None will seem alien, all will be your very self."
