“Naturally you must change everything. No use typifying yourself, identifying yourself with something that is now, you have given up. For example, from the egg now you have become the birds. Now birds don’t identify themselves with the eggs and settle down in only one place, they fly. Now they have become birds, they are no more eggs. In the same way we should accept our position. We should accept ourselves as realized souls with self-esteem and understanding as to what is our purpose of life now.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo by Colin Heinsen

“You judge yourself, establish yourself, keep your Chakras clean and you will be amazed how you become a master of the whole art. You will be able to give realization, each one of you to thousands of people.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @rayheartphotography

“You get your realization but you must become the tree, you have to grow, you have to become. If you cannot grow then you have not achieved what you wanted to be. And you grow very fast, very fast with meditation and with understanding about meditation.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, ig photo @tanya_st

Happy Mother’s Day! …”Now the Mother’s character is that She is the One who is the Womb, She is the One Who is the Mother Earth and She is the One who nourishes you. She nourishes us, you know that. And this feminine thing in every human being resides as this Kundalini…” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“Perhaps we women don’t realize how important we are. Men can do politics, economics and all the mess of it but women are responsible for the society. They can make the society or mar the society. Whenever there are good societies where children are good, families are good, and there is peace, there the women are responsible.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @brigittedaisy

“Without seeing the collective, without collective being, you can never understand the value of the collective. She’s so wonderful – she gives so many powers, she gives you so much satisfaction and joy that the person must, in Sahaja Yoga, first pay attention to the collective.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, ig photo @chouette_d_ambre
