14 Points Amma suggests for Spiritual Aspirants

1. When thinking about what to do, consider how each of your actions will be of service to humanity.
2. progress is being made when you can retain evenness of mind in ...the face of praise and shame,
honor and dishonor.
3. Communication begins when you fully understand the other person's point of view.
4. If you cannot speak with love and respect, wait until you can.
5. when you harm anyone, you harm everyone, especially your own self.
6. If someone is doing something that you find really offensive, check to see whether you are doing
something similar to someone else or yourself.
7. Make an appointment with God each day and hold that as your highest priority.
8. Practice withdrawing the mind from sense objects.
9. balance your life with jnana, karma, and bhakti yoga.
10. Excessive talking increases mental turbulence, drains your energy, and drowns the subtle voice of
God within.
11. Read a passage from the Guru's teachings everyday.
12. Establish a sadhana plan and follow it as sincerely as possible.
13. Take advantage of the stillness of the early morning hours for meditation and prayer.
14. Don't just apologize for hurting someone; make the firm resolve that you will never again do that
painful act to anyone.
