Words of Ma Anandamayi

 Only actions that kindle man's divine nature are worthy of the name of action, all the rest are non-actions and a waste of energy.

Any line of behaviour that fails to quicken the Divine in man should be eschewed, no matter how enticing it might appear;
but any that helps to awaken man's inherent Divinity must be resolutely adopted even though it be seemingly uninviting.

Man's calling is to aspire to the realisation of Truth, to tread the excellent path that leads to Immortality.

What appears delightful to the senses later develops into a hotbed of poison, generating inner turmoil and disaster, for it belongs to the realm of death.
