“So if somebody is proved to be innocent, your innocence protects you. I have seen many a times in My life, because I’m so simple, I should say, that I had no problem, never, of anything. This is a kind of a very powerful vibrations that come from an innocent person, like from small children. Small children, if you see their vibrations, hundreds grown up Sahaja yogi’s may not have the vibrations of a little one, I can tell you this much.” Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @e_chizhova

“So as a Mother to be a Guru is a very difficult thing. At the same time, for you to achieve heights is also difficult. Because you get lost when I love you so much and in that love you forget sometimes, that the progress in your being is very slow.

You have to be your own guru means you have to guide yourself; you have to treat yourself as your disciple and you have to trim yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
