“So preserve your innocence. In these modern times, it’s very important to preserve your innocence so that Shri Ganesh should be awakened within you, and also in other people. That is going to save this world. Nothing else, but the innocence that you have is going to save the world. Whatever you may know, whatever you may say, whatever you may write, please see that you are not hurting the innocence within you. It’s not necessary to lead a life of morality, this, that. What is needed is your innocence. Innocence itself gives you moral strength, moral understanding.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @hollyfirth

“I am such a proud mother and all of you are capable of enlightening so many people in this world. But the beauty within you is that you are absolutely independent of anybody else. You depend only upon yourself, upon the source of your Spirit, the joy of your Spirit. You don’t expect others to give you joy.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“Saraswati cleanses all that is impure in nature, while with our brain activity we are spoiling all that. All our brain activity goes against pure intelligence. And that is what one has to understand – that this pure intelligence is not to be soiled by our thinking. Our thinking can make us so bumptious, so ego-oriented, so impure, that we can really eat the poison and say, “What is wrong in it?” Just the opposite of Saraswati. If Saraswati is within us, She gives us ‘subuddhi’, wisdom. And that is why, to worship Saraswati, to worship Surya, we must have that clear vision as to what we have to be, what we are doing, what filth we are living in, what our mind is getting into. After the all we are here for emancipation and not for just pampering our ego and living with our filth that is with us. So this light should come within us and we should try to rise above our own mental filth which has been created around us.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @wemeditate.nsk

“The attention of a Sahaja Yogi should be so subtle that he should feel the vibrations, he should think of vibrations, he should eat vibrations, drink vibrations and enjoy them. To enjoy Sahaja Yoga you must know that it’s not dry vibrations only, but is the Bhakti. That is the Joy of Shiva’s quality, the quality of Joy that He adds to our life!” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @smileyax

“So what you have to do is to understand how to correct your chakras. And you must understand how to work out your machines. Perhaps people still live on mental level and try to solve problems on mental level. And that’s why all the problems start coming out. Now, if you have a problem with any chakras or there is anything catching or you find that there’s something wrong with you, no use working it out on any other level but spiritual level.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“Let us establish within ourself on a subtler level the desire to be pure, and to be cleansed out. All the barriers and unclean things that are within us, to desire to be great Sahaja Yogis, desire to be responsible Sahaja Yogis and desire to be surrendered to your Mother. It’s not difficult. That is the easiest, the last one is the easiest, because what you surrender, I don’t want anything from you, except that you accept My Love.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
