The True Source of Happiness

Amma's timeless wisdom teaches that lasting happiness comes from within. But amidst the clamor, upheaval, and endless stimulation of the modern world, we often lose sight of this truth. Instead, we chase contentment externally, mistaking fleeting pleasures like a new car or a team's win for genuine joy. Integrated Amrita Meditation (IAM®) counters this habit by offering a powerful path inward. It provides tangible anchors for focus—including sound, movement, internal vibration, and appealing visuals—that effectively guide us back to our inner self.

Through dedicated practice, the individual steps of IAM can engage and occupy the mind, shifting your focus away from the outside world. An IAM practitioner may find that certain steps particularly resonate with them and become personal favorites. As instructed by Amma, once the full IAM is practiced, these individual steps can be practiced during the day. This focused exercise acts as an anchor for the mind, replacing distracting thoughts, helping to quiet the inner dialogue, and opening a path to your own inner divinity. 

Amma says, “The Divine is present in everyone, in all beings, in everything. Like space, God is everywhere, all pervading, all powerful, and all knowing. God is the principle of life, the inner light of consciousness and pure bliss awareness. It is your very own Self. You can understand the secret of bliss when you contemplate the nature of the Self. When the waves of the mind subside, you will see that everything you seek is already within you.”
