”Bliss can only come through gratitude. Only through enlarging your heart with gratitude. Bliss is the reward of gratitude. The gratitude which is not just worldly or just spoken lip-service, but is from the heart, is from the heart, gratitude of the heart. And the blissful people are never jealous of others because what is greater than bliss? Bliss has so many dimensions that you go beyond the realm of cause and effects.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @bhumi__bhumi

“Life is so beautiful, it is only the viewpoint that makes the difference. All that is subtle, all that is great, is not visible to our eyes if a foreign particle of dust is present in our eyes we cannot even see the skies. In the same way the doubt and selfishness which is residing in our hearts, unless we remove this completely and throw them away, this Shiva Tattwa will not be enlightened in our hearts.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo by Peter Prem Bien

”So you don’t have to put in any effort. This is what meditation is. Meditation means exposing yourself to God’s grace. Now the grace itself knows how to cure you. It knows how to mend you, how to settle down itself into your own being, keep your Spirit kindled. It knows everything.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sundari.da

“You have everything within you, that power, like you get lifted up. Like a lotus that rises out of the mire by its own force, you come up and your fragrance fills that mire, and you are amazed at it yourself. First you are identified with that mire, and you think that this is what it is – but it’s not so. When it comes up, that lotus, it spreads its beautiful petals, and the fragrance gives us that personality which spreads all over. And that’s what is going to happen to you. All of you are going to be that lotus which looks hidden, which is absolutely invisible within you, which is going to open out, and the fragrance of your divinity is going to spread.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @smileyax
