“Anything – you just put your attention to it and meditate. If you are that deep, that means if your calibre has improved to that extent, you will immediately put an effect on that. Immediately you will see there will be a change, there will be something happening in that direction. This is your power which you have to actually develop.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @ricky_anupom_saikia

“When that Self starts shining, you start seeing many other things which you have not seen so far. And one of them that you see is that love is not only for yourself but for everyone. It’s a pure love for everyone else. It’s not only for yourself. It’s very surprising: when you really love your Self, then your love is for your Self, and you start spreading that love in such a manner that you beautifully love others.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @ca_abbott

“Now as you know we have, they say there are six enemies we have within us. In Sanskrit you know them. Now all these enemies, which are lust and greed, and things like that – jealousies, and all. All these can be completely destroyed by Kundalini awakening. You become a different person. You become the Spirit. Now in all the scriptures it is written “Know thyself.” And that should happen to you, that you should know yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“Bhakti is a very pure offering to Almighty and it has to be done with a lot of care and there should be no casualness and irregularity or with any specific expectation. This shows the intent of love and respect to Almighty and the devotee’s gratitude for all the mercy and kindness that is bestowed on him.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“…in case you do not have intense desire, then the pure desire doesn’t work and you do not get your realisation; also after getting realisation unless and until you have desire to ascend, very strong intense desire to ascend, you cannot ascend.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @__georgeta__

“Your compassion doesn’t become just a talk, talk, but it becomes effective. It works. Because this all-pervading Power, which starts flowing through you, is a thinking power, understanding power, is intelligence. It organizes, it cooperates. Above all, it loves. It’s such a great thing to discover it! And also to discover about yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @tanya_st
