Mata Amritanandamayi
Group chanting and prayer is very powerful. It can bring important changes.
Mata Amritanandamayi

Children, set aside at least half an hour in the morning and in the evening for spiritual practices. After bathing in the morning, a family should sit together and worship.

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
The language of love is the language of humility or humbleness.
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
As you help those in need, selfishness will fall away. And, without even noticing you will find your own fulfillment.
Mata Amritanandamayi
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
The intellect always cuts and divides like a pair of scissors. The heart sews things together and unites like a needle. The tailor uses both.
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
