More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
Ashrams and gurukulas (spiritual schools) are the pillars of spiritual culture. If we perform sadhana according to the guru's advice, we need not go anywhere else. We will get whatever we need from the guru.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Contribute to charitable projects like the printing of spiritual books so that they can be sold at a lower price. Poor people will then be able to buy and read them. In this way we can help to cultivate spiritual culture in them also.
Mata Amritanandamayi
When we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.
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

Mata Amritanandamayi
Just beneath the surface of all experiences in life is God's, or the Guru's, compassionate face.
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
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.

Where there is love, distance doesn't matter.
Mata Amritanandamayi
A person's destiny can be changed through the power of a saint.

We give physical exercise to the body, but neglect the heart. The exercise for the heart is uplifting the destitute and the suffering.
Mata Amritanandamayi
In today's world, human beings are dying and human machines are taking birth.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Develop the ability to stand back as a witness to your thoughts. This will make your mind strong.
