“You are holding a snake in darkness, you can’t see it, and if I say “drop it” you’ll say “no, I am holding a rope, why should I drop it?” But, if there is light you immediately drop it yourself.

“What is yoga? In simple words, it is taking your attention to the Spirit. This is yoga. What does the Kundalini do? She raises your attention and takes it to the Spirit.

“What’s the problem of this world? The whole problem, you take it: there is no joy. Simple as that, there’s no joy. If they had joy, they would not have done all these nonsensical things, there’s no joy!

Not only that, but you do not want to have something that will spoil this Mother Earth or which will bring ecological problem, no; you just don’t want it.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
