Biography

Surya Amma was born in Israel. She got married and had a regular household life.

Teachings

You are the body, you are the mind, there is nothing but the mind and the body.

The self is just a phantom.

In order to be happy you must resist and reject whatever is. Always insist on trying to change your situation, never surrender, always yearn for something better.

Always compare and make sure you have more than your neighbor.

Lament your past, always plan your future, do not waste your time in being in the boring now.

Do not have trust in anything, especially not in the universe.

The truth lies in duality.

Random Quote

Our hankering is always for what we don't have, and there will be always something that we do not have. So your hankering continues on, and postpones your perfection.
