“So purify yourself with love, understanding. Try to purify and tell yourself that I have to purify myself as much as possible. With purification only you will have the proper strength. If you have not purified, then there won’t be any strength for you to bear the truth.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“This mind, I would say, is a myth. It is made by us through our ego and our conditionings. And when we use this mind to transcend or to go higher, it cannot work out because it is artificial. How will it work out? It will only work out when you take to the gifts that you have already within you. Now this is the gift of evolutionary process. You are a human being but you are not yet perfect. That’s why all these problems. Integrate religions through your mind. Integrate this by your mind. It will not work. I tell you, it will not work. The integration must take within, first of all.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @annette_hunt_

“Truth is not harsh, people think truth means harsh stuff, no it is not, it’s the most beautiful thing. It’s the most delicate thing, it’s a very subtle thing, and it’s the most joy-giving thing. It’s the truth that when it ripples, you see when it pulsates, then you get the joy. The pulsation of truth is joy. It’s not harsh, it’s extremely kind, compassion, love of God is truth.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“You will get this knowledge immediately because it is now on our nerves; this knowledge. There is no other way to achieve this but by meditation. You may perform Pujas, and sing bhajans. But to no avail. Only meditation will give you this state, along with this, introspection. No need to criticize, just be in witness state. Only you can assess yourself, and remove all the obstacles.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @tanya_st

“Now we have to understand that we are carrying the light in our hand, and the light should not shake. We have to hold the light tight, and we should have a concentrated attention towards the maintenance of the light. And then to tell yourself that we have to see, not to just understand mentally. It’s to be actually aware; because you are complete otherwise, you are the part and parcel of the whole – you are. But only thing, that you have not yet seen that. You have mentally accepted, but you have not become that. Because mental projection comes from thought; that means you are at the level of the thought. You have to become thoughtless.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @irina_rgv

“So the first thing that one, Lakshmi, gives you is the value system. Your value system is corrected. You evaluate yourself properly. Like, you know the value of this and value of that and value of this. But the value system for a divine person is not based on the amount of money or amount of matter it has, but it depends on what vibrations it has. So the whole evaluation system changes when you get into Divine temperament, that you start seeing things. What is precious is what has the maximum vibrations. Whatever has vibrations is the precious thing for a realised-soul, and not what is not Divine. What is not Divine, we have nothing to do with.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
