The Garden of Life

“Life is like a garden.
The leaves wilt and the flowers fade naturally.
Only if we eliminate the waste that we fully enjoy the beauty of new leaves and flowers.

Similarly, we must eliminate from our mind the bad experiences, dark past.
To live is to remember to forget.
Forgive what should be forgiven.
Forget what should be forgotten.
Embrace life with renewed vigor …

We should be able to accommodate every moment of life with new eyes, like a freshly blossomed flower.”

-Ma Amritanandamayi
