A compilation of Mother’s messages in the form of questions and answers. Mother’s every word spreads the light of knowledge and removes the clouds of confusion that may gather in the minds of Her children. Some conversations are centered on a particular topic. On other occasions, the questions posed address various uncertainties that arise in the minds of the listeners. Mother gives appropriate responses to all of them. Her only aim is the spiritual progress of Her children.

Rare indeed are mahatmas (great souls) endowed with the vision of seeing the entire universe and the Atman within the universe. Even if they are recognized, they may not be inclined to communicate with us or counsel us, immersed as they are in the eternal silence of the Self. Therefore, it is our great fortune when a fully realized mahatma is ready to advise and discipline us with the tender love of a mother and the inexplicable compassion of a guru. Throughout the world today, the darshan and the nectarous words of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi are effecting transformations in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. This book, though incomplete, is a precious collection of conversations between the Holy Mother and Her disciples, devotees and inquiring visitors between June 1985 and September 1986.
