More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
Whatever is associated with the mind is bound to change. The truth is that which is changeless. It is the Self.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Unfortunately, the only meaning that society attributes to life today is an opportunity to make money.
Mata Amritanandamayi
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
In this universe it is Love that binds everything together. Love is the very foundation, beauty and fulfillment of life.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Nowadays everybody wants to become a leader. No one wants to become a servant. In reality, the world is badly in need of servants, not leaders. A real servant is a real leader.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The relation between husband and wife should turn into a love of the heart untouched by desire.
Mata Amritanandamayi
It's like pouring oil from one glass to another down a line - in the end, you don't have any oil left it is all stuck to the inside of the glasses. This way, 1,000 dollars become 100 dollars by the time it reaches the people. Whereas if we get 10 dollars, we add our effort to it and the money multiplies.
Mata Amritanandamayi

Children, do not listen to those who malign masters and sages. Never listen to or indulge in derogatory talk about anyone. When we harbor negative thoughts about others, our minds become impure.
Mata Amritanandamayi

Mata Amritanandamayi
Children, we should always eat our food sitting down. Do not eat standing or walking around.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Couples should abstain from sexual relations at least 2 or 3 days a week. Gradually try to reach a stage of celibacy most days.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Too much reasoning has spoiled the contemporary mind. People have lost their hearts and faith.
Mata Amritanandamayi
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
Spiritual love is without limits or boundaries. Worldly love is superficial and fluctuating.
Mata Amritanandamayi
God is standing at the door of every heart. Call Him. He is waiting to come in.
Mata Amritanandamayi
...love is our true nature. When we do not express love in our words and actions it is like honey hidden in a rock.
Mata Amritanandamayi
A seed has to get buried in the soil for its real form as a plant to emerge. Only through modesty and humility can we grow. Pride and conceit will only destroy us. Live with the firm attitude, 'I am everyone's servant.' Then the whole universe will bow down to us.
