More quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
In this universe it is Love that binds everything together. Love is the very foundation, beauty and fulfillment of life.
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
Children, we should always eat our food sitting down. Do not eat standing or walking around.
Mata Amritanandamayi
A seed has to get buried in the soil for its real form as a plant to emerge. Only through modesty and humility can we grow. Pride and conceit will only destroy us. Live with the firm attitude, 'I am everyone's servant.' Then the whole universe will bow down to us.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Look at Nature. Nature is a book from which we must learn. Each object in it is a page of that book.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Unfortunately, the only meaning that society attributes to life today is an opportunity to make money.
Mata Amritanandamayi
If the goal is to realize the Supreme Being, you should become egoless. That requires self-effort. The sadhak should work hard. He should pray sincerely for the removal of the negative tendencies. This prayer is not to achieve anything or to fulfill any desires. It is to go beyond all achievements. It is to transcend all desires.
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

Mata Amritanandamayi
It is not good to give money to everyone who begs give food or clothing instead. They may misuse the money we give for drinks and drugs. We should not give them a chance to err. Try not to see them as beggars, but as God himself.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Love is our true essence.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Money is not a problem, but unintelligent attachment to it is.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The more intellectual you are, the more egoistic you are, and surrendering becomes more difficult.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Controlling the mind is the way to attain internal harmony.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Try to gather the strength to live as brother and sister after one or two children are born. This is essential for reaping the full benefit of spiritual practice and to make spiritual progress through mental restraint.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Progress can be slow and gradual. Continue putting in effort with patience, enthusiasm and faith.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Try to spend at least 2 or 3 days every month in an ashram. Just breathing the pure air there will purify and strengthen our bodies and minds. Like recharging the batteries, even after returning home we will be able to continue our meditation and japa.
Mata Amritanandamayi
As you help those in need, selfishness will fall away. And, without even noticing you will find your own fulfillment.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Loving words and deeds are the best alms.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The extra luggage of indiscriminate dreams, desires and attachments will make your life's journey miserable.
