Mata Amritanandamayi Quotes about Dharma

  • Today, society is sacrificing love, values and dharma in its pursuit of materialistic gains.
  • Our ultimate dharma is self-realization. Thoughts and actions that support our spiritual evolution are real dharma.
  • A sadhak (one who does spiritual practice) will not have time to indulge in gossip. They will not feel like talking to anyone in a harsh manner. Those who always indulge in faultfinding will never achieve spiritual progress. Do not harm anyone by thoughts, words or deeds. Be compassionate towards all beings. Ahimsa (nonviolence) is the highest dharma (duty).
  • If you perform your work viewing it as your dharma, your actions become sacred.
  • Today people live to work rather than work for a living. They have forgotten their true goal in life. Subsequently they have forgotten their dharma. There is no communication between hearts, there is no sharing. Having lost contact with other's hearts, we become totally isolated. But in truth we are not isolated islands, we are links that form one chain.
