Some fabulous Amma quotes!

580. Om mahaniyayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is adorable


I chanced upon this lovely site with 1000 quotes by Amma! What a find!!And here are some gems from my adorable Amma on meditation:

‘Children, even if we lose a million dollars, we can recover it.  If we lose one second, we cannot get it back.  Every moment that we are not remembering God is lost to us.’  (Immortal Light)
‘God is standing at the door of every heart. Call Him. He is waiting to come in.’  (Amritapuri.org)
‘When thoughts are reduced, power of the mind and its subtlety increases, tunes with the Universe. Then you can see the realms beyond the common understanding. When the mind is pure and quiet it becomes one with the universal mind. That mind is like a mirror. The secrets of the Universe will be revealed there.’  (Amritapuri.org)
‘It is never a good practice to continue to sleep after sunrise.  We should not think of staying in bed once we are awake; it increases laziness and dullness.  Those who cannot decrease the amount of sleep quickly may do it in gradual stages.  Those who do regular spiritual practice do not need much sleep.’  (Immortal Light)
‘Our ultimate dharma is self-realization. Thoughts and actions that support our spiritual evolution are real dharma.’  (Amritapuri.org)
‘Children, daily practice of yoga or sun salutations (surya-namaskara) is very good for health and for spiritual practice.  Lack of proper exercise is the cause of many of today’s diseases.  If we can get somewhere in time on foot, always walk instead of taking a vehicle.  It is good exercise.  Only if we have to go far should we depend on vehicles.  Use a bicycle, whenever possible.  This will save money, too.  (Immortal Light)

Om Amriteswariye namah!
