 Amma has time
and again emphasized that the duty of every human being is to realize
his true Self, or in other words,' know who we really are.' She
does not favor any particular religion. When asked to which religion
she belongs, she says, “My religion is love and service.”
“ Love is the foundation of a happy life. Knowingly or unknowingly
we are forgetting this truth” she says. Amma on several occasions
has said that it is important not only to feel love but also to
express it. “ After all, love is our true nature. When we
do not express love in our words and actions it is like honey hidden
in a rock. “ she says, “ It is of no use to anyone.
This mutual sharing and expressing of love should begin at home
between married couples and between parents and children. Only then
will there be peace and harmony at home and in the society.”
Once when someone asked Amma as to whom she would term as a true
disciple, Amma said that, “One whose legs rush to offer help,
whose lips utter comforting words of love and whose eyes shed tears
of compassion on hearing the cry of the distressed, such a person
I would call a true disciple."
