Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes about Love

Be like the honeybee who gathers only nectar wherever it goes. Seek the goodness that is found in everyone.

Love is the only medicine that can heal the wounds of the world.

Instead of "I love you," it would be better to say "I am love-I am the embodiment of Pure Love." Remove the I and you, and you will find that there is only Love. It is as if Love is imprisoned between the I and you. Remove the I and you, for they are unreal; they are self-imposed walls that don't exist. The gulf between I and you is the ego. When the ego is removed the distance disappears and the I and you also disappear. They merge to become one - and that is Love.

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.

Love is our true essence.

Love sustains everything.

May your thoughts, words and actions arise from love.

Love one another without any expectations. Then, there is no need to go anywhere in search of heaven.

You can only feel love by expressing it.

Pure love removes all negative feelings. Destroying all selfishness, it expects nothing but gives anything. Pure love is a constant giving up- giving up of everything that belongs to you. What really belongs to you? Only the ego. Love consumes in its flames all preconceived ideas, prejudices and judgments, all those things which stem from the ego. Pure love is nothing but the emptying of the mind of all its fears and the tearing off of all masks. It exposes the Self as it is.

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.

Pure love transcends the body. It is between hearts. It has nothing to do with bodies.

Where there is love, distance doesn't matter.

Spiritual love is without limits or boundaries. Worldly love is superficial and fluctuating.

When someone is full of Love and Compassion, he cannot draw a line between two countries, two faiths or two religions.

Real love is the complete absence of any negative feelings towards anyone.

Pure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.

Pure love is the best medicine for the modern world. This is what is lacking in all societies. The root cause of all problems, from personal problems to global problems is the absence of love. Love is the binding factor, the unifying factor. Love creates the feeling of oneness among people. It unifies a nation and its people. Love creates a sense of unity while hatred causes division. Egotism and hatred cuts people's minds into pieces. Love should rule. There is no problem which love cannot solve.

Pray May all reach the shore of peace, spreading the sweet holy fragrance of Love and vibrations of unity and harmony.

When love overflows and is expressed through every word and deed, we call it compassion. That is the goal of religion.

Everyone in the world should sleep without fear at least for one night, sleep without fear. Everyone in the world should eat to their fill, at least for one day, eat to their fill. There should be one day when there is no violence, no one is injured, no one is harmed. All people young and old should serve the poor and needy, at least for one day serve selflessly. This is my dream....this is my prayer. Love is the answer, love is the way. Love is the answer, love is the way.

If we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter.

Just as our bodies need proper food to live and develop, our souls need love to blossom. The strength and nourishment that love can give our souls is even more potent than the nourishing power of a mother's milk for a baby.

Pray to God: It's all right if you don't love me, but please let me love you!

The more you give, the more your heart is filled. Love is a never ending stream.
