More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
Traveling by bus, we see many things on the way and just let them pass by. Watch the thoughts of your minds in the same way.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Deciding to chant the mantra a certain number of times daily will help foster the japa habit. We should always keep a rosary with us for doing japa. A rosary can be made of 108, 54, 27 or 18 beads of rudraksha, tulsi, crystal, sandalwood, gems, etc, with one 'guru bead'. We should resolve to chant a certain number of rosaries (rounds) daily.

God is standing at the door of every heart. Call Him. He is waiting to come in.
Mata Amritanandamayi
