The time of the recent winter solstice has us looking inside and the new year is upon us. It is time for looking inward with our minds and having compassion in our hearts. Amma says:

“Even the longest journey starts with the first small step. Let each of us welcome the new year by starting to make small changes in our life. If each of us can do this– who knows– it may mark the beginning of a new age altogether. Let us surrender it to the Paramatman and move forward together with one mind towards a single goal. Amma wishes all her children a very happy new year. ”
