Amma Theodora said: A certain monk, afflicted by many sorrows, said to himself, "Leave this place." With these words he began to put his sandals on his feet, and suddenly he saw the devil in the form of a man sitting in the corner of his cell. The devil was also putting on his sandals. He said to the monk, "Are you leaving here because of me? Well then, wherever you go, I will be there before you." ~ Ignatius Bryanchaninov
Amma quotes by Ignatius Bryanchaninov
But I was beginning to feel like it all fit together, the same way everything in the bowl ends up in the bisquits, as Amma would say. ~ Kami Garcia
Amma quotes by Kami Garcia
To be able to put oneself in another's position, to be able to see and to feel as another person does, this is the rare gift of an earnest spiritual seeker. ~ Amma
Amma quotes by Amma
I tell Mum she married a patriarch
Look at it this way, Amma, she says, your father was born male in Ghana in the 1920s whereas you were born female in London in the 1960s
And your point is?
You really can't expect him to 'get you', as you put it
I let her know she's an apologist for the patriarchy and complicit in a system that oppresses all women
She says human beings are complex
I tell her not patronize me ~ Bernardine Evaristo
Amma quotes by Bernardine Evaristo
The other is not outside you but living within you. ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan.
As Amma used to say, the good thing about the truth is it's true, and there's no arguing with the truth. ~ Kami Garcia
Amma quotes by Kami Garcia
Have a creative day as you contemplate today on ...
Having an idea is not a problem. Identification with the idea creates the problem. ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Her friendship with Amma is based on historic loyalty and comfortable familiarity rather than shared interests and perspectives ~ Bernardine Evaristo
Amma quotes by Bernardine Evaristo
respecting the need of the other is love ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan
Life is relationship and the best form of relationship is friendship. ~ Shri Amma Bhagwan
Amma quotes by Shri Amma Bhagwan
Mind, breath and kundalini are connected; handle one, the other two gets affected automatically. ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan.
What my friends didn't know about me and I didn't know about Amma is that people who are hurting don't need Avoiders, Protectors, or Fixers. What we need are patient, loving witnesses. People to sit quietly and hold space for us. People to stand in helpless vigil to our pain. ~ Glennon Doyle Melton
Amma quotes by Glennon Doyle Melton
Forgiveness happens when you know that the other is not responsible. ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma gave me some of her best stinkeye. How does a bird know to fly south? How does a catfish know how to swim? I don't know how many times I have to tell you, Ethan Wate. They don't call me a Seer for nothin'. ~ Kami Garcia
Amma quotes by Kami Garcia
Amma … I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I'm a feminist too." Amma stared at her, her eyes wide in horror. She didn't notice when the red floral dupatta of her salwar kameez slipped off one shoulder. "Sweetie! Feminists don't get married. Stop that nonsense." Sweetie did laugh then, openly. "Amma, what the heck are you talking about? Feminists can do whatever they want. They just want equal rights for women. ~ Sandhya Menon
Amma quotes by Sandhya Menon
Children, when we go to the temple, do not hurry to have darshan, then make some offering and return home in a hurry. We should stand there patiently in silence for some time and try to visualize the beloved deity in our hearts. If possible, we should sit down and meditate. At each step, remember to do japa. Amma doesn't say that the offerings and worship are not necessary, but of all the offerings we make, what the Lord wants most is our hearts! ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Amma quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
If you want to change your life for the better, simple, just choose health for yourself and others, every step, every mode, and every turn; in your psyche, emotions, mental focus, and body; in your thoughts, words, and deeds. Start with the part of your being that your will and willingness currently have a better hold on. It is the body for some, mental focus for some, emotion and psyche for others. And then as you begin to see yourself get healthier and stronger, and hence happier, apply the realized health, strength, and happiness to choose health toward your whole being, past the part of your being you started with, and then you see very quickly that infinite happiness is you, supreme wisdom is you, indomitable power is you, and that you are the sole (soul :) ) Universe potential, and have always been!
Unconditional health be you always! Vijayi Bhava! Victory be yours!

Amma, 'A Iyer in Jose's Well ~ Sheshadharananda
Amma quotes by Sheshadharananda
In Amma's snideness, I caught a whiff of desperation and righteousness. Like she'd whined at breakfast: "I wish I'd be murdered." Amma didn't want anyone to get more attention than her. Certainly not girls who couldn't compete when they were alive. ~ Gillian Flynn
Amma quotes by Gillian Flynn
Reading cards again? What are they saying tonight, Amma? ~ Kami Garcia
Amma quotes by Kami Garcia
Within the magic of the asking,
lives the magic to receive,
wonderfully exciting, endless possibilities! ~ Amma Sharon
Amma quotes by Amma Sharon
It's not wrong to have dreams; in fact, to achieve anything in this world, you must have dreams ~ Amma Bhagwan
Amma quotes by Amma Bhagwan
What makes Amma happy, is to see her children helping others to feel happy. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Amma quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
Only humility will help us grow. The feeling of I and mine obstructs any possibility of inner growth. ~ Amma
Amma quotes by Amma
Silence descended on the house. [....] Amma must have sensed that this was the sort of silence that, left unchallenged, could consume the family from within. ~ Vivek Shanbhag
Amma quotes by Vivek Shanbhag
If you are still worried, it means, you have not surrendered yet ! ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Sick and sicker and sickest. What was real and what was fake? Was Amma really sick and needing my mother's medicine, or was the medicine what was making Amma sick? Did her blue pill make me vomit, or did it keep me from getting more ill than I'd have been without it? ~ Gillian Flynn
Amma quotes by Gillian Flynn
Time spent in meditation is as precious as gold. ~ Amma
Amma quotes by Amma
It's like this," Mayuri had once explained, citing the several thousand pounds and five years in therapy she had spent to find herself. "You keep going to a bookstore and asking for a dozen red roses. They obviously don't have red roses and you come home disappointed. That's what's going on with your mother. You keep expecting roses and keep getting disappointed. I know not to ask for roses at a bookstore. That's why I have no issues with my amma." "You make it sound so easy," Priya said. "I didn't say it was easy," Mayuri said. "It took me a long time and a lot of effort. There were a lot of tequila shots, irresponsible one-night stands, and shrinks involved. ~ Amulya Malladi
Amma quotes by Amulya Malladi
It's hard to imagine a place like that really exists. People have been judging me my whole life. ~ Kami Garcia
Amma quotes by Kami Garcia
Guilt is non-acceptance. Repentance is acceptance. ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Spirituality is all about the heart. It has got nothing to do with religiosity ~ Amma Bhagwan
Amma quotes by Amma Bhagwan
Unless you learn to deal with your life in its entirety,
there is no permanent solution for human problems. ~ Sri Amma Bhagwan.
Amma quotes by Sri Amma Bhagwan.
I couldn't lose her. I wouldn't. Just the thought of never being able to touch her again made me crazy. Crazier than losing all my friends. Crazier than being the least popular guy in school. Crazier than having Amma perpetually angry at me. Losing her was the worst thing I could imagine. Like I was falling, but this time I would definitely hit the ground. ~ Kami Garcia
Amma quotes by Kami Garcia
Camille?" Her voice quiet and girlish and unsure. "You know how people sometimes say they have to hurt because if they don't, they're so numb they won't feel anything?"
"Mmm."
"What if it's the opposite?" Amma whispered. "What if you hurt because it feels so good? Like you have a tingling, like someone left a switch on in your body. And nothing can turn that switch off except hurting? What does that mean?"
I pretended to be asleep. I pretended not to feel her fingers tracing vanish over and over on the back of my neck. ~ Gillian Flynn
Amma quotes by Gillian Flynn
My thoughts shift to my friends. I'd been so angry with them for grabbing my pain from me in the wake of the News. But maybe my friends were loving me the best way they knew how, just like I was trying to love Amma. We think our job as humans is to avoid pain, our job as parents is to protect our children from pain, and our job as friends is to fix each other's pain. Maybe that's why we all feel like failures so often--because we all have the wrong job description for love. What my friends didn't know about me and I didn't know about Amma is that people who are hurting don't need Avoiders, Protectors, or Fixers. What we need are patient, loving witnesses. People to sit quietly and hold space for us. People to stand in helpless vigil to our pain.

There on the floor, I promise myself that I'll be that kind of mother, that kind of friend. I'll show up and stand humble in the face of a loved one's pain. I'll admit I'm as empty-handed, dumbstruck, and out of ideas as she is. I won't try to make sense of things or require more than she can offer. I won't let my discomfort with her pain keep me from witnessing it for her. I'l never try to grab or fix her pain, because I know that for as long as it takes, he pain will also be her comfort. It will be all she has left. Grief is love's souvenir. It's our proof that we once loved. Grief is the receipt we wave in the air that says to the world: Look! Love was once mine. I loved well. Here is my proof that I paid the price. So I ~ Glennon Doyle Melton
