“Joy is not happiness and unhappiness but joy is an absolute thing and you jump into the ocean of joy. And when you jump into the ocean of joy you just start enjoying everything and the state that you achieve is first is thoughtless awareness. You are aware but without any thoughts. The thoughts will not bombard you. If you want to think you can think but if you don’t want to think you can stop it.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“This is born with you. This right to be one with the Divine is born with you. It’s your birth right. That is Sahaja Yoga. Because this is the method of anything that is spontaneous. Like, you see a seed sprouting, a flower becoming a fruit, an egg becoming a bird, or you see a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. All this is sahaja, is inborn with you.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“In Sahaja Yoga you are all resurrected with your body. Before this you were not connected to the All Pervading Power, and whatever you did was through your mind or through your emotions. But you did not come out of that grave of emotions and your desires, your actions and your ego. After realization now you know how free you have become. How you have developed your own personality. There are so many instances which we can talk about Christ, that He said, “Know Thyself” throughout. He knew without knowing yourself, you won’t be resurrected. But Sahaja Yoga is the other way round. You get your resurrection and you know yourself. It’s a very Sahaja, sweet way of getting realization.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“The evolution has to take place still within us to know ourselves. We can say that unless and until it is put to the mains, it has no meaning.  Unless and until we are connected with the whole, we have no meaning.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“If you start appreciating each other, then I have some hopes that the spontaneity is being appreciated, that human beings have become eternal beings. They have sensitivity for eternal things and not for temporary things. Like the marble has an eternal value, the Spirit has the eternal value. But you should be able to feel that eternity, that enjoy that eternity.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“But for that a real purification is needed about facing yourself fully, in dedication. Means you are holding on to your Mother, you are holding on to Sahaja Yoga, you are holding on to that truth which you have found out.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
