70 Quotes of Amma

70 Quotes of Amma - Celebrating the wisdom and compassion of Mata Amritanandamayi on her 70th Birthday - Swami Amritachitswarupananda Puri

Amma says, through the pursuit of inner mastery one can achieve a remarkable state of equanimity in any circumstance. This state represents a profound victory as it entails understanding the mind and the world as mere waves within the vast ocean of consciousness - a wave formed and sustained by consciousness itself, much like a clay pot shaped from and filled with mud. The world, in all aspects of creation, sustenance, and destruction, is seen as an emanation of Satchitananda.

From this state of inner grandeur, Amma has lived her life touching countless beings, healing their hearts and awakening in them the seeds of love and compassion to be shared with all. Her only intention is to uplift all her children to the state of inner freedom where no one knows they are one with the Universal Self.

In this book we seek to offer 70 Quotes from Amma, chosen from the vast ocean of her timeless teachings. Relevant verses from the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita are added along with memorable stories to help us reflect and meditate on Amma's words.
