You can only feel love by expressing it.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The beauty and charm of selfless love and service should not die away from the face of this earth. The world should know that a life of dedication is possible, that a life inspired by love and service to humanity is possible.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The factor stringing together individuals, society and nature is missing from today's educational system. That factor is spiritual values.
Mata Amritanandamayi
In this age of selfishness, selfless service is the only soap that truly purifies.
Mata Amritanandamayi
If chanting is not possible during a certain task, then pray before starting it: 'Lord, give Your blessing so that I may do this work in a manner that pleases You!' At the end, pray again to the Lord for forgiving any mistakes we may have committed during the task consciously or otherwise.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Consoling a miserable soul, wiping the tears of a crying person is greater than any worldly achievement.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The first step in spiritual life is to have compassion. A person who is kind and loving never needs to go searching for God. God rushes toward any heart that beats with compassion-it is God's favorite place.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The extra luggage of indiscriminate dreams, desires and attachments will make your life's journey miserable.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Children, everyone should try to wake up before five in the morning. The ideal time for spiritual practices like meditation and chanting is Brahma Muhurta. During this period, sattvic qualities are predominant in nature. Moreover, the mind will be clear and body energetic.
Mata Amritanandamayi
When we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Education for livelihood alone will never make our life full and complete.
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
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
Death is not complete annihilation. It is a pause. It is like pressing the pause button on a tape recorder.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Smiling is one of the highest forms of meditation.
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
Ashrams and gurukulas (spiritual schools) are the pillars of spiritual culture. If we perform sadhana according to the guru's advice, we need not go anywhere else. We will get whatever we need from the guru.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Consider any work you do, as work coming from God's will.
Mata Amritanandamayi
If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love. If you forcefully open the petals of a bud, you won't be able to enjoy its beauty and fragrance. Only when it blossoms by following its natural course, will the beauty and fragrance of a flower unfold.
