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
In today's world, human beings are dying and human machines are taking birth.
Mata Amritanandamayi
We have nothing to lose by trusting the infinite power of the Self, except the bondage of our own ignorance.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Be like the honeybee who gathers only nectar wherever it goes. Seek the goodness that is found in everyone.
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
Our attitude should be: Whatever happens I will remain strong, courageous and happy.
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
Pray May all reach the shore of peace, spreading the sweet holy fragrance of Love and vibrations of unity and harmony.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Pray: O Lord, make my eyes see only the good in everyone.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Children, those who are unmarried should conserve their vital energy by maintaining celibacy. To turn what we gain by this in to ojas (vitality), we also need to do spiritual practice. With increase in ojas, our intelligence, memory, health and beauty will also increase. We will gain lasting mental quietude.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Try to make others happy, and don't despair over all the evil in the world. Instead of cursing the dark, let us each light one small lamp.
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
In most cases, worldly love ends in hatred and deep sorrow.
Mata Amritanandamayi
You can only feel love by expressing it.
Mata Amritanandamayi
The guru is not someone who is confined to the body. When there is selfless love for the guru, we will be able to see him not only in his body but in every living and nonliving thing in this world. Learn to see everything as the guru's body and to serve them accordingly.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Don't get angry. Try not to speak roughly or use harsh words.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Let us take from Nature only what we really need, and try to give back to some extent.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Consoling a miserable soul, wiping the tears of a crying person is greater than any worldly achievement.
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.
