More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
The ashram is Mother's body. Mother's soul is in Her children. Children, all the service done for the ashram, is done for Mother. The ashram is not anyone's private property. It is the means to provide peace and quietude for the entire world.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Feel your prayers, feel your mantra and you will feel God.
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.
Mata Amritanandamayi
When love and compassion fills your heart, you find newness in every moment, and life becomes a celebration.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Being aware of the bondage is enough to free you from its clutches.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Let our lives be firmly rooted in Truth. Abstain from lies. In this dark age of materialism, adherence to truth is the greatest austerity. We might have to tell lies now and then to protect somebody or to sustain dharma, but we must be careful not to speak lies for our own selfish purposes.
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
Love is the only medicine that can heal the wounds of the world.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Pure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Compassion can shoulder the suffering of the entire world without feeling the slightest bit of pain.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Don't get angry. Try not to speak roughly or use harsh words.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Whatever work we do, our mind should be centered on God.
Mata Amritanandamayi
If chanting is not possible during a certain task, then pray before starting it: 'Lord, give Your blessing so that I may do this work in a manner that pleases You!' At the end, pray again to the Lord for forgiving any mistakes we may have committed during the task consciously or otherwise.
Mata Amritanandamayi
When we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Today, society is sacrificing love, values and dharma in its pursuit of materialistic gains.
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
Have the conviction that God is your only real relative and friend.
