More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
Pray: O Lord, make my eyes see only the good in everyone.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Try to make others happy, and don't despair over all the evil in the world. Instead of cursing the dark, let us each light one small lamp.
Mata Amritanandamayi
In the beginning, not everyone may be able to clearly repeat every mantra in the 1000 Names. In that case, everyone can respond to the chants with just one mantra. While chanting the 1000 Names, the response may be 'Om Parashaktyai Namaha' or 'Om Sivasaktyaikya Rupinyai Namaha'.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Whatever work we do, our mind should be centered on God.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The sun shines down, and its image reflects in a thousand different pots filled with water. The reflections are many, but they are each reflecting the same sun. Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We have nothing to lose by trusting the infinite power of the Self, except the bondage of our own ignorance.

Mata Amritanandamayi
The mental disposition of the one who prepares the food is transmitted to all those who consume it. Therefore, as far as possible the mothers should do the cooking for the entire family. If it is done while chanting the mantra, the food will benefit everyone in a spiritual way.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Children, don't waste a single second. Serve others, above all the poor, expecting nothing in return. Just as the person who offers God flowers is the first to enjoy their fragrance, the person who offers compassion is the first to receive its blessing. Wherever a heart beats with compassion: God is there.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Let our lives be firmly rooted in Truth. Abstain from lies. In this dark age of materialism, adherence to truth is the greatest austerity. We might have to tell lies now and then to protect somebody or to sustain dharma, but we must be careful not to speak lies for our own selfish purposes.
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
Couples should abstain from sexual relations at least 2 or 3 days a week. Gradually try to reach a stage of celibacy most days.
Mata Amritanandamayi
