“Main thing is your connection with the Divine, is only possible when you meditate and become thoughtlessly aware. That’s the point where Divine works, it helps you. It comes to your help in such way that you don’t know how you have achieved it. So thoughtless awareness is the first point all of you should achieve. Very important. After that, we can achieve something else, but the first step is thoughtless awareness.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“So one has to realize that whatever is the truth, your life is going to be enriched. Enrichment only comes through purification. So the life gets much more purified and beautiful. But anything absurd and new that comes to you, you should not accept it headlong – it’s dangerous!” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“Speaking in the sweet manner is very important. Some people think it is smart to speak in a rude manner or is very intelligent to shout on people, but no one likes this kind of a personality. You may be intelligent, you may be very sharp or smart, maybe on television people may like to see you, but not as companions, as friends. To speak in a very sweet manner is a sign of a good breeding, good culture and fear of God.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“Deep silence is the language of God.”© Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“Fanaticism comes through blindness and the truth comes through realization.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“So the spontaneous appreciation of something in art is not what you certify with your ego or some people think they have a power by which they can certify; but is the sensitivity that makes you enjoy the creation of that art.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
