That a person who has Lakshmi, who has money, who has wealth should be extremely generous, like a lotus which allows a horrible gnat-like, black, porky, poking type, little beetle also to come into it and to sleep. And She provides in the lotus a beautiful bed of comfort to such a person.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @ari_sterkh

“In Sahaja Yoga, first you have discovered the truth. Discover the truth on your fingertips. The truth that you can discover on your central nervous system is the truth.

So the truth has to be tested.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sabinachebodaeva
