Spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi, during her visit to the city on Saturday, stressed on the need of compassion in the troubled times of war and destruction.
She advised drawing inspiration from nature that teaches us to 'live in harmony' while the modern world is teaching us to 'Live only for ourselves'.
She said that our mind is a great servant but a poor master and with growing attachment towards external pleasures, our mind weakens. We have to live minimally and turn inward for inspiration. She also highlighted the benefits of mediation to attain mental peace.
Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa met the leader and sought her blessings during her visit to the Mata Amritanandamayi Math in the city.
