“The purity is the main point which we have to have, once you are pure you don’t have to worry, then I look after you. But the purity of mind, purity of heart, and the purity of your attention, these three things are very important. Then it works out, you’ll be surprised, collectivity will grow in no time.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Thoughtlessly aware

Improvement
“Sahaja Yoga first of all is for personal improvement, is for the inner improvement as far as the personal side is concerned – means your intelligence must improve, your temperament must improve, your heart must clear out, your feelings must be all right. Then you should, your health should be all right, then your relationship with others should be all right, your ego should go away, your superego should go away – all these things are there. But this only helps a personality, just a personality that is very limited, that is yourself. But now this personality can become an instrument, if you can develop that depth within yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way
Pure personality
“Unless and until you have purity the light of love will not shine, the light of love will not shine. You have to absorb the light of love within yourself, but you cannot unless and until you are a pure personality. And that pure personality has to develop by your meditation, by working hard, it’s a question of few years. In 10 years we can change the whole world, in 10 years but you have to be really very dedicated.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @ca_abbott
Generosity
“Generosity is the only way you can express your love to others. I have told you before also. All your material wealth, and everything has no meaning unless and until you show generosity for the people. But it should be quiet and it should be absolutely silent.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @priya.allen_
State of Joy
“Absolute joy means that it does not have happiness and unhappiness like two sides of a coin. The person is in an absolute state and this state is the state of joy (anand). In this state he is like a witness who just sees the waves of happiness and unhappiness like a person sitting in a boat sees and enjoys the waves of the sea. Once you attain this state you understand what the waves of joy are, what is the comfort of joy and what is the kingdom of joy. Despite achieving that state we do not get fulfilled with joy. The reason is that the one who is the source of the Spirit is the Spirit of the Universe. So until we take this joy to every shore of the world, we cannot get completely one with this joy.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @gaurikangaroo
