In Amma's"To wage wars, we spend billions of dollars and engage countless people. Think of how much attention and intense effort go into that process! If we were to use even a fraction of that money and effort for the sake of world peace, we could definitely bring about peace and harmony in this world. There are over a billion people in this world suffering from poverty and starvation. Poverty, in truth, is our greatest enemy. It is one of the basic reasons why people commit theft and murder, and why people become terrorists. It is also the reason why people turn to prostitution. Poverty not only affects the body, but also weakens the mind. And such minds are then influenced in the name of religion and injected with the poison of terrorist ideals. Looking at it this way, Amma feels that 80% of the problems in society would be resolved if we were to eradicate poverty. If, in the future, there is a third world war, let it not be a war between nations, but a war against our common enemy, poverty. Once poverty is eradicated, peace will prevail."

God

Who is God ? Or What is God ? The centuries old questions are yet to be understood but the many have labels for God. Let's start organized religions they view God as the one to fear and submit yourself so you can be saved. Then it leaks into politics they use this fear to control and segregate people of different religious affiliations. I believe in a higher power or the source, which all of us are connected to. An ultimate energy of pure love and once you realize that you are perfect right now and you don't have to be saved. Yes you've made mistakes and you've learned from them. To say that God judges you and you will go to hell for your mistakes is a pathetic excuse for control. This is a part of a control structure created by man promoted through fear to control the masses. I don't know why people think that God judges, but isn't that a human response. If we do not make mistakes how are you going to learn and explore the world and live without Fear. God is all love a energy source which has no human thoughts. Love is the highest vibration of energy in this universe and I believe God is this love source. The energy and vibrations of love is everywhere and inside all of us and so is God ! W e are all one! Separation is an illusion! If you ask god one question, he would reply "you've got me all wrong." -from the movie Conversations with God.
