Dear Children,
A mind always employed is always happy. This is true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity. True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body, the two are ever united.
True merit is like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.
A word after a word after a word is power. Words should be only the clothes, carefully custom-made to fit the thought. The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine. All words are pegs to hang ideas on. A good word is like a good tree whose root is firmly fixed and whose top is in the sky. Syllables govern the world. As long as we are not chased from our words we have nothing to fear. As long as our utterances keep their sound we have voice. As long as our words keep their sense we have soul. Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.
With Love, Amma-Naana
