“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.

“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

“Wisdom doesn’t mean that you know how to argue things or you fight with people. No it doesn’t mean that. Wisdom means how you take to the good side of everything to enjoy it. This is wisdom and that you avoid all destructive things and take to something constructive.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
