Pray: O Lord, make my eyes see only the good in everyone.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The ashram is Mother's body. Mother's soul is in Her children. Children, all the service done for the ashram, is done for Mother. The ashram is not anyone's private property. It is the means to provide peace and quietude for the entire world.
Mata Amritanandamayi
To awaken spiritual unity, and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature, is the true goal of human life.

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
When we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.

Whether we laugh or cry, the days are going to pass by. So why not choose to laugh?
Mata Amritanandamayi
The real mistake humans have committed lays in the inability to differentiate between requirements and luxuries.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Whatever binds us most, whatever is dearest to us, that is what we should offer the Lord. Doesn't a mother give her child whatever she thinks is the best?
