Description
Rare indeed are the mahatmas who behold the entire universe within the Atman (Self), and the Atman within the universe. Even when such beings are recognized, they may remain silent, immersed in the bliss of the Self. It is thus our rare fortune when a fully realized mahatma chooses to guide and uplift us with the tender love of a mother and the deep compassion of a guru.
Across the world, the darshan and nectarous words of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi are transforming countless lives. This book, though incomplete, is a treasured collection of Her conversations with disciples, devotees, and seekers between June 1985 and September 1986.
The wisdom of such mahatmas, who descend to uplift the world, carries both timeless and timely relevance. Though rooted in eternal truths, their words respond to the needs of the present moment and the hearts of the people. Amma speaks at a time when humanity, in its restless pursuit of sensory pleasures, power, and status, has lost its inner peace, traditional values, and noble sentiments. In this era of fear, broken relationships, and a consumer-driven mirage of love, Her words offer solace, clarity, and a path back to the Self.
