More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
Love is the only medicine that can heal the wounds of the world.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Make use of all free time at the office and elsewhere for chanting your mantra or reading spiritual books. Avoid indulging in unnecessary gossip and try to talk about spiritual subjects with others.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Children, do not listen to those who malign masters and sages. Never listen to or indulge in derogatory talk about anyone. When we harbor negative thoughts about others, our minds become impure.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Today, our air, food, water-all are polluted. If we do not stop exploiting nature for our temporary selfish gains, we will destroy the world.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Every night, contemplate: What good did I do today? How can I do better tomorrow?
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.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Lessen the quantity of unnecessary thoughts and allow more space for the energy of love to flow within you.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We human beings are born in ego, live in ego, are brought up in ego and will die in ego. We need a certain degree 0f vision when we live in this world for achieving and attaining our goals in life.
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
At the end of the archana, prostrate, then get up and, remaining on the same spot, turn around clockwise 3 times just as if circling a temple, then bow to the Lord.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Our highest, most important duty in this world is to help our fellow beings.
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
Children, meditation is not just sitting with our eyes closed. We should take every action as worship. We should be able to experience His presence everywhere.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Transcending the cycle of death and rebirth is the real purpose of this life in human form.
Mata Amritanandamayi
When we raise one hand to say bye-bye we are gesturing that we are going apart from each other, whereas when we join our palms and bow our head, our hearts become closer.
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
Children, if we can do archana of the 1000 Names of the Divine Mother daily with devotion, we will grow spiritually. There will never be lack of life's essentials, food and clothing, in a family that chants the 1000 Names with devotion.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We should try our best to relieve the suffering of others in whatever way we can.
Mata Amritanandamayi
In this universe it is Love that binds everything together. Love is the very foundation, beauty and fulfillment of life.
Mata Amritanandamayi
