“You have fragrance, which is the fragrance of all the flowers put together. You are the essence of all the beauties of nature that is created, all the symphonies and all the music that you hear, all the art that you have created has come from you. That is your part, while you are the whole, you are the totality. But you do not feel your totality. That’s the problem is that human beings do not feel their totality.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @e_chizhova

“When your value system is corrected, you understand what is good for the society, what is good for you. For example, if it’s a lotus flower, it will never emit filth and dirt. The fragrance will be always there if it is a rose or any other fragrant thing, it will emit fragrance only. It cannot emit something that is filthy.
Now those who think they are gurus and have achieved that gravity will never write something which is ugly, say something which is dirty, will never use their mind to appreciate anything that is filthy and wrong. This is the second sign of your value system.
In your value system you have to first of all understand what is auspiciousness, what is Divine beauty, and what is morality of the Spirit.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sandra_sunnyday @masha.shal.photographer

“So, all that is sustaining, all that is nurturing, all that is ennobling comes from this sense of love, which is within us very much developed, but within others also, who are not yet Realised. Ultimately the whole world has to realise that one has to go to that ultimate love of God, otherwise it has no meaning.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“If you love your children, you must discipline them. Today I just wanted to tell you that the children are to be brought up in a proper way.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“So, let us try to be innocent within our self. Be proud that we are innocent. We need not be smart people. Smartness is your mental attitude and innocence is your innate quality which is connected with this all-pervading power.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sandra_sunnyday
