Question: Can householders attain
liberation?
Amma: Yes, while remaining in
the house, they should live for God. It is possible to carry on a spiritual
life while living in the world. The only thing is that one must perform actions
selflessly without any attachment. One should not worry about the past or the
future. Live in the present, surrendering your actions and their fruit at the
feet of the Lord. Perform your duties as sincerely as possible, keeping in mind
that all is entrusted by God. Be satisfied with whatever is provided by the
Supreme. Anyhow, when we act with an attitude of surrender and devotion, it
will bear the best fruit. But do not confuse your mind thinking of the fruit.
If you perform your duties in the present, sincerely and wholeheartedly,
considering it as your duty entrusted by God, then the future will become your
friend. Live today with dedication then tomorrow will be your friend. Get rid
of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ and consider everything as God’s.
-Satguru --Mata Amritanandamayi Devi
