Quality of Love September 20, 2020 By Tanya “Love has its own qualities and one of the quality is that love understands. Its understanding is not in words, not in thought, but understands within. It can feel within, which is very important. This is the most important part one has to realise, that love – you can only feel it. You cannot talk about it, you cannot show about it, but it is within and you can feel it.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Pure desire September 18, 2020 By Tanya “Just one thing is important that for this transformation, you have to have a pure desire from within. All other desires which are fulfilled don’t give satisfaction. This is the pure desire that we should be connected to the Paramchaitanya. If you have this pure desire in you then this work will take place easily. And the other thing you need to understand is that you should be devoted to yourself. You should have faith in yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sabina.chebodaeva
Individual and Supreme September 16, 2020 By Tanya “…as we all know from different walks of life, through the ages the prophets and the seers, after whom the great religions have been established, have talked about an inner awakening, a search for the truth that exists within each one of us, the realization of the Divinity that exists within each one of us, the awakening of Divine potentials within each one of us and in doing so seek our integration, our union with the All-Pervading power of God. This has been called and termed through various terms, various modifications, various definitions and one of the commonest ones is yoga. Yoga actually means the union; The union of the Soul which is there within each one of us and that of the All-Pervading power of God and in the union between the Atma and the Parmatma or the individual Soul and the Supreme Soul.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @maitredelapaix
Friendship September 13, 2020 By Tanya “I think the relationship of friendship is even higher than any other relationship we could think of, because there is nothing to be gained out of our friendship. It never ceases and you just enjoy the friendship, that’s all. Then you can pull each other’s legs, sometimes, you could be a little joking with another person, making fun of another person: it’s all right, it’s friendship. But this is the purest form of understanding our relationships with each other. And a friend is the one who is always, for no rhyme and reason, concerned about his friend.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @nickiwells
Meditation and introspection September 10, 2020 By Tanya “So there are two important things. One is meditation and the other is introspection. With these two things, there will be progress. With meditation, you absorb vibrations and go ahead. By introspection, you remove obstacles that are within you. Like when a river is flowing, the flow is not smooth if there are stones. When you remove these stones, the flow of the Kundalini is faster, and then you start feeling that you have become clean. There are no obstructions or anything inside. You are pure and clean. This feeling must come from within.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @darcy6969
Decorating each other September 7, 2020 By Tanya “Try to understand each other, decorate each other, not correction, but decorating. Like an ornament, when added to a personality decorates that person, in the same way, try to decorate another person. So the decorum and decency of life comes from this auspicious relationship. That must be maintained. Marriage is the bondage that keeps the society in its own beautiful bondage of Mother’s grace.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way
