“Love is the essence of God in us all.”
Amma

We Are All Beads

We are all beads strung on the same thread,
Each one is different, yet all are the same.

Love is the thread that joins us together,
Love is the essence of God in us all.

Give your smile to someone lonely, see it light their face,
In the heart of deepest sorrow, God will shine His grace.

We are all beads strung on the same thread,
Each one is different, yet all are the same.

Love is the thread that joins us together,
Love is the essence of God in us all.

Hold the hand of someone crying, shy not from your fear,
Share the burdens of their heart let them know you hear…

We are all beads strung on the same thread,
Each one is different, yet all are the same.

Love is the thread that joins us together,
Love is the essence of God in us all.

Truth can have no country, love has no caste or creed,
May the world unite as One, serving those in need.

We are all beads strung on the same thread,
Each one is different, yet all are the same.

Love is the thread that joins us together,
Love is the essence of God in us all. 

Prayer In Song

“Try to sing bhajans with overflowing love and devotion. Let the heart melt in prayer. Unfortunate indeed are those who think that crying to God is a weakness. As the wax melts, the flame of a candle only burns brighter. Through crying for God, one gains strength. These tears wash away the impurities of the mind. If one cries for God for five minutes, it is equal to one hour of meditation. Such crying makes the mind easily absorbed in the remembrance of God.” - Amma
