The essence of Amma's message to the world is that we should realize the great opportunity we have as human beings to cultivate inner beauty and ultimately to attain spiritual liberation, so that we can offer our selfless service to the entire universe. The true purpose of human life lies in the development of such dharmic virtues as compassion, truthfulness, dispassionate wisdom, contentment, and selfless love.
These virtues produce a peaceful state of mind that is extremely conducive to true, deep meditation. It is only in deep meditation that we come into contact with the divine inner Self-the Atman. Amma describes this true Self in many ways-as eternal bliss, highest truth, purity, peace, wisdom, the light of lights, and so on. Eventually, through the combination of sincere personal striving and the descent of divine grace, we can merge permanently with the eternal light of supreme Divine Consciousness. This is the ultimate fulfillment of our human birth, and it is the destiny of all beings.
Of course, there is much more to Amma's teachings than what can be written in a small paragraph. To learn more about Amma's teachings, please follow the links on this page for magazine articles written by Amma, edited transcripts of her discourses, special messages from Amma, and more.

"Everyone must contribute his or her own share of service for the achievement of universal peace. There is a great need in the world today all of us to first purify ourselves by meditating on the form of the supremely pure Jagan Mata, and then to do our share of work for universal peace. We can develop purity of character by always engaging in acts of compassion. Egoism can be melted by compassion
and divine love."~ Amma
