Ammachi
motivation

Though Ammachi at first seems rather intense, reserved and self-contained (as described on the previous page), she is really quite social and interested in people. And, while she is passionate and emotional, she is also quite capable of being fair, reasonable and rational as discussed below.

Harmony and balance are her keynotes. Ammachi instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and she is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Amma does all she can to avoid conflict and discord. Her spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and she often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Mata Amritanandamayi Devi since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Mata Amritanandamayi Devi will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. She prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Ammachi, and she has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Ammachi invests a great deal of her energy in personal love relationships and she is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Ammachi seeks a partner who is her equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. She makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and she enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Mata Amritanandamayi Devi perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Ammachi appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in her personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to her. If Ammachi fights about anything, it is often about something she feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Amma. She believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Ammachi also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Mata Amritanandamayi Devi dresses and furnishes her home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to her.

Leading groups and classes, and being involved in community efforts, social activities, events or movements are areas where Ammachi really shines and expresses her creativity. An awareness of politics or the larger social impact of individual actions is natural to her.

Ammachi feels that she has the support of her family or others in her environment for her creative efforts and personal goals, which enables her to act with confidence. She is able to satisfy both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. She is in harmony with herself and is therefore an effective individual.

Mata Amritanandamayi Devi alternates between aggression and apathy and sometimes feels that she is unable to meet all the demands made on her. Once Ammachi becomes aware of what she needs to do, however, she is capable of working long and hard, not giving up until her work is done.
