“The most symbolic thing is His birth. He was born in a manger. Just imagine, in a manger, full of straws assembled together, this Child was born where there were other animals used to be. See the way this great Incarnation took birth. He was not king. He was not a big, rich man. He was born as a very poor person and in a place which is something very much below the human standard. This message is that you don’t need palaces, you don’t need huge places to be born. You can be born anywhere if you are a pure spirit.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
