Mata Amritanandamayi

Mata Amritanandamayi
Be content and happy with whatever comes to you.
Mata Amritanandamayi
It's like pouring oil from one glass to another down a line - in the end, you don't have any oil left it is all stuck to the inside of the glasses. This way, 1,000 dollars become 100 dollars by the time it reaches the people. Whereas if we get 10 dollars, we add our effort to it and the money multiplies.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Many people talk a lot about environmental preservation, but true greatness lies in putting these principles into practice and actually doing something about it.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Pure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.

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
It is man who, through his thoughts and actions, creates turmoil and disintegration in the natural, harmonious unity of the world.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Don't get angry. Try not to speak roughly or use harsh words.
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
Remember to set apart at least one hour every day to do some service for others. While the food we eat nurtures our bodies, it is what we give in charity that nurtures our souls. If time is not available daily, reserve at least a few hours every week for some worthwhile act of charity.
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.
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
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
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.
