"Anger cannot be transcended through meditation or chanting of mantra or living in solitude only. A true seeker should go out in the world, "battle", and develop a mature mind. Courageous are those who refrain from getting angry in situations where anger would be expected. Only those who stay calm in the midst of a world full of chaos & diversity can claim to have succeeded." - Amma

"Japa (Chanting) Children, in the present dark age of materialism, chanting the mantra (japa), is the easiest way for us to obtain inner purification and concentration. Japa can be done at anytime, anywhere without observing any rule regarding the purity of mind and body. Japa can be done while engaged in any task." — Amma

“In life, things rarely happen according to our expectations. Only the present moment is in our hands. So, we must live in it joyfully, with alertness." - Amma

..."Service is also a form of sadhana. If you claim that you have attained
perfection after doing sadhana sitting in a certain place, Amma will not
accept that. Getting out into the world and doing service is very much a
part of sadhana. If we want to eliminate the enemies that lurk in the
innermost depths of the heart, we have to serve the world. Only then will we be
able to tell how effective our meditation has been. Only when someone gets
angry with us, will we know whether we still have anger in us."... - Amma

"Service should be seen as sadhana, and should be an offering to God. Then, if someone opposes us, we may feel some slight hostility, but we can get rid of it through contemplation. "Who in him was the object of my anger? Didn't I get angry at him because I took myself to be the body? What have I learned from the scriptures? Which world (spiritual or material) am I travelling to? How could I feel any ill-will towards that person after declaring that I am not the body or the mind, but the Atman (Self)?' We should do this type of self-examination repeatedly. Eventually, we will stop feeling anger towards anyone. We will feel remorse, and that will lead us on the right path." - Amma
