“So now you are born here, you have brought the fragrance, you are the people who are realised souls and you have got the fragrance to spread, so your responsibility – double I think – that you must spread fragrance. Fragrance is something very innate, even this soil which we should say is without fragrance, the people have fragrance in their character, in their behaviour, in their understanding and there is peace which they are aspiring.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @james_dhanu

“If you respect yourself, expression of yourself must be respected. Tell your body to behave itself. Tell your mind to behave itself, and tell your emotions to behave itself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“I always felt that people living in this beautiful area must be having beautiful ideas about the Divine, because you see the effects of Divine better in the nature, in the beauty of nature. And then you start thinking that how God has made this beautiful world for us to enjoy. But so many things we take for granted, for example, our human life itself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @shansquared

“Marriage is honeymoon as they call it. Honey is the essence and moon is the peace. Now if the women are quarrelsome, fighting, sarcastic, it is absolutely a hell for man. Instead of that, if woman knows the essence, the honey, she should know how to please the husband, to bring peace in the family.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @anettekasharina

“Very important for all the parents who have children, Sahaja Yoga children have to be extremely well disciplined. If you do not know how to discipline your children, you are sadly mistaken. Your children must know how to behave themselves; they must know how to answer, how much they must talk. Do not spoil them with presents; give them presents at the right time. And tell them how they should behave. You have to discipline your children. This is your duty to discipline them.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @e_chizhova

“…that Sahaja Yoga is first to start your germination, then it grows. In that growth, you have to become a wider personality and a wider personality. With the marriage you become even a better person, and you develop a better personality.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way
