Children should observe a regular schedule for sleeping and waking up (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Consoling a miserable soul, wiping the tears of a crying person is greater than any worldly achievement (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Look at the optimism of Nature. Nothing can stop it. Only the ego makes humans pessimistic, and this causes suffering (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
The first step in spiritual life is to have compassion. A person who is kind and loving never needs to go searching for God. God rushes toward any heart that beats with compassion-it is God’s favorite place (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Today, our air, food, water-all are polluted. If we do not stop exploiting nature for our temporary selfish gains, we will destroy the world (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
When humanity serves Nature, Nature serves humanity. When we serve animals and plants, they too serve us in return (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Grace is openness. By remaining open, you let go of your ego and narrow-minded views, and allow divine grace to express itself through you (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Make a firm decision: ‘Whatever happens, I will be happy. I will be strong. God is always with me.’ (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
We should forgive and forget the faults of others. Anger is the enemy of every spiritual aspirant. Anger causes loss of power through every pore of our body. In circumstances when the mind is tempted to get angry, we should control ourselves and resolve firmly, ‘No.’ We can go to a secluded spot and chant our mantra. The mind will become quiet by itself (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
The impermanent, which is the body, is given too much importance. The permanent, which is the Atman, is completely forgotten. This should change (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Many priests and employees at temples work for pay. No one should judge religion on the basis of the shortcomings of such workers. We should frame suitable rules and regulations for preventing them from falling prey to material temptations. The true guiding spirits of religion are those who engage in selfless service while dedicating their entire lives to attaining the vision of God (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Remember to set apart at least one hour every day to do some service for others. While the food we eat nurtures our bodies, it is what we give in charity that nurtures our souls. If time is not available daily, reserve at least a few hours every week for some worthwhile act of charity (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
In today’s world, people experience two types of poverty: the poverty caused by lack of food, clothing and shelter, and the poverty caused by lack of love and compassion. Of these two, the second type needs to be considered first because if we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Children, even if we lose a million dollars, we can recover it. If we lose one second, we cannot get it back. Every moment that we are not remembering God is lost to us (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
When thoughts are reduced, power of the mind and its subtlety increases, tunes with the Universe. Then you can see the realms beyond the common understanding. When the mind is pure and quiet it becomes one with the universal mind. That mind is like a mirror. The secrets of the Universe will be revealed there (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Our ultimate dharma is self-realization. Thoughts and actions that support our spiritual evolution are real dharma (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
God realization and self-realization are one and the same. God-realization is nothing but the ability and expansiveness of heart to love everything equally (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
In God’s vision, no inside or outside exists. Still, in the beginning, Mother is asking all to meditate on Him in the heart, in order to achieve concentration (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Children, meditation is not just sitting with our eyes closed. We should take every action as worship. We should be able to experience His presence everywhere (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Chant your mantra while engaged in work. This way, the mind will be continuously focused on Him (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Try to spend at least 2 or 3 days every month in an ashram. Just breathing the pure air there will purify and strengthen our bodies and minds. Like recharging the batteries, even after returning home we will be able to continue our meditation and japa (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Whatever binds us most, whatever is dearest to us, that is what we should offer the Lord. Doesn’t a mother give her child whatever she thinks is the best? (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Whatever is associated with the mind is bound to change. The truth is that which is changeless. It is the Self (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Try not to have any break in chanting the mantra even for a moment. Continue repeating the mantra while engaged in any task. Chanting in the mind may not always be possible at first, so in the beginning, practice japa by moving the lips incessantly-like a fish drinking water (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
When doing archana (daily prayers) as a group, one person should chant the mantra and the others should repeat it. Mantras should be chanted slowly, clearly and with devotion (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Children, not a grain of the food we eat is made purely by our own effort. What comes to us in the form of food is the work of others, the bounty of Nature and God’s compassion. Even if we have millions of dollars, we still need food to satisfy our hunger. Can we eat dollars? Therefore, never eat anything without first praying with humility (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
If we have some pet animals, we should feed them also before taking our food. Perceive God in every living being and feed them with that attitude (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
The guru is not someone who is confined to the body. When there is selfless love for the guru, we will be able to see him not only in his body but in every living and nonliving thing in this world. Learn to see everything as the guru’s body and to serve them accordingly (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Today people live to work rather than work for a living. They have forgotten their true goal in life. Subsequently they have forgotten their dharma. There is no communication between hearts, there is no sharing. Having lost contact with other’s hearts, we become totally isolated. But in truth we are not isolated islands, we are links that form one chain (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
Spirituality, as expounded by the great saints and sages of the past, is a very broad path. It accommodates all types of belief systems. You need to satisfy everyone. (Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes)
