“Innocence is the sustenance, is the basis of spirituality. If a person doesn’t have innocence, he cannot rise in spirituality. That’s why the first job of Sahaja Yoga is to establish Shri Ganesha within you, to awaken Him.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @saritaartist

“So you have to absorb that flow of the Ganges within you and assimilate it and transform yourself. The Ganges would be flowing, but if it is flowing through the stony area, the stones are not going to absorb anything from the river Ganges. But if it is flowing through fertile land, everybody will be making use of that water. So you have to make use of your Kundalini by transforming yourself. Try to transform. See that how much you transform.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo by Vira Hordynska

“We are living in an age of, we are living in an age of a jet, you see, we’re living in an age of speed and in that speed, we have to keep the balance and the rhythm.

So, how you are bound, may go anywhere with any speed, keep the speed, keep the balance and come back to the same first beat which is the Spirit – that’s how it works out.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @rayheartphotography

“Now the Truth is that the Spirit is within you and you are the Spirit. You are the beauty, the bliss and the joy of that Spirit. That’s what you are. Because your attention is not there that’s why you cannot feel your Spirit. But your Spirit exists, it is within you, in your heart, waiting for a moment to come into your conscious mind, to be felt by you in your central nervous system. It’s all there, built within you.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“It’s the quality of Divine is such that it quenches your thirst as the water does. It gives you the light that guides you, it gives you the strength that makes you stand up on the right, it gives you the compassion that makes you enjoy your virtues, it gives you that attraction which takes you to higher planes of the spirit. It discovers all the pearls in the ocean of illusion. It gives you that peace within and without, and you are always drenched in the showers of the bliss of the joy. It is your right to have it, you have to have it. This is what you are meant to be here – but with humility.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way
