“So again we come to the same point, that we should be aware of ourselves – complete shraddha in yourself. If you have some shraddha in yourself, you will have shraddha for me also. Because we are not different.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“It’s only the Mother Earth that is beautiful because it can create so many varieties, so many dramas, so many places. Any other element, if you see, has nothing in it. So it is She who can create. So we should take to the motherly quality more and try to bind our guru principle through that Motherly, beautiful, creative power, so that we make our presence very agreeable, very congenial, very beautiful, full of interest and varieties; every time new flowers, every time new fruits, every time a new, new design. As Kundalini is made of Mother Earth, we are quite capable of doing that.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“Spiritual evolution is a living process. Any living process, you cannot pay for it. If you want to sprout a seed, you can’t pay the seed and the seed won’t sprout out of it. You cannot put any effort. You cannot stand on your head for the seed to sprout. All the designs and maps of what this little seed is going to be is all built in that little seed by the divine power.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @rohitsv

“I think this correcting the children is not the way, it is not disciplining, but it is making them grow. What we have to give to our children is the joy, is happiness of the family, is the complete security, a sense of complete security and you will see you’ll never have teenage problems, never have teenage problem. You’ll be surprised you put them anywhere, they’ll be so dignified and so mature, that people will be amazed. You won’t have to tell them.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @axinia1

“The greatest generosity a human being can do is to forgive. I mean, it’s not generosity to others but to yourself. If you forgive others you are generous to yourself. First of all be generous to yourself, that is you forgive everybody else. If you forgive everybody else, then you are not tortured by them; you spare yourself from their tortures. This is a generosity towards yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @nickiwells

“Now you see that people are realizing that the world is in a great mess, and there are lots of problems that have come through materialism, through wrong thinking, through emotional thinking, through stupidity we can say. We have no time for all this. What we have to do is to develop ourselves deeper and deeper and deeper, so that on horizontal plane also we are effective.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @aaro.music
