More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love. If you forcefully open the petals of a bud, you won't be able to enjoy its beauty and fragrance. Only when it blossoms by following its natural course, will the beauty and fragrance of a flower unfold.
Mata Amritanandamayi
When people live in accordance with Nature, the song of life becomes sweet.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Spiritual love is without limits or boundaries. Worldly love is superficial and fluctuating.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We have nothing to lose by trusting the infinite power of the Self, except the bondage of our own ignorance.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Where there is love, distance doesn't matter.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Keep the child within alive. A child never tires of hearing the birds sing, never gets bored looking at flowers.
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
The factor stringing together individuals, society and nature is missing from today's educational system. That factor is spiritual values.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Any pleasure gained by means other than mental control weakens the body.
Mata Amritanandamayi

Money is not a problem, but unintelligent attachment to it is.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We should try our best to relieve the suffering of others in whatever way we can.
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
There are thousands ready to die for their religion, but only are few willing to live by its principles. Because of their narrow vision and envy, they have missed the true essence and message of religion which is love and compassion.
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. Archana may be performed by chanting the 108 or 1000 Names of Devi or our chosen deity. We can also chant our mantra, meditate or sing hymns at this time.
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.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Look at Nature. Nature is a book from which we must learn. Each object in it is a page of that book.
Mata Amritanandamayi
If we keep holding on to God, there is nothing to fear.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The extra luggage of indiscriminate dreams, desires and attachments will make your life's journey miserable.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We give physical exercise to the body, but neglect the heart. The exercise for the heart is uplifting the destitute and the suffering.
