More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
If we lose our money while traveling, think how frantically we search for it! In the same way, if we are unable to do japa even for a brief moment, we should grieve: 'Alas, Lord, I have lost so much time!' If there is such anguish, even the time we spend sleeping will not be wasted.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Children, we should always eat our food sitting down. Do not eat standing or walking around.
Mata Amritanandamayi
If we keep holding on to God, there is nothing to fear.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Any pleasure gained by means other than mental control weakens the body.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Each and every object in Nature teaches us something. Renunciation and selflessness are the greatest lessons to learn from Nature.
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
Spiritual love is without limits or boundaries. Worldly love is superficial and fluctuating.
Mata Amritanandamayi
While carrying responsibilities, never forget to smile.
Mata Amritanandamayi
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
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.

Develop the ability to stand back as a witness to your thoughts. This will make your mind strong.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Real success is gaining the ability to face situations in life with maturity.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We must remember that man is not an island, totally isolated and disconnected from others. We are all part of a universal chain, or the universal consciousness. What happens to one happens to all.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Let us take from Nature only what we really need, and try to give back to some extent.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Progress can be slow and gradual. Continue putting in effort with patience, enthusiasm and faith.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Lessen the quantity of unnecessary thoughts and allow more space for the energy of love to flow within you.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Don't get angry. Try not to speak roughly or use harsh words.
Mata Amritanandamayi
While eating, our attention should not be focused just on the taste. Imagine our chosen deity or guru is present within us and that we are feeding Him. This will turn eating into a spiritual practice.
Mata Amritanandamayi
First, the human mind should be harmonized, then the harmony of Nature will spontaneously take place.
