“But there’s one thing that gives you the real idea of love — is discretion. Spoiling somebody is not love. Ruining somebody is not love. Love is that which elevates you, takes you higher. False sympathies, identifications, always spoil the lives of people. But discreet love: and love is the thing that gives you the power, love itself gives you that wisdom to be discreet. Love itself teaches you how to be discreet.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @nalu.luna

“…when you are dealing with your partners and friends, then other Sahaja Yogis you must put your attention to the good points of other Sahaja Yogis and then you will imbibe those good points within you.

“So we have to understand our value, that we have this power within ourselves and this is to be respected and to give credit to the Goddess because She’s done so much work for us that She should not feel that it’s now they got realization just for a song and they are not bothered, they don’t know how to develop it. She will not be in anyway hurt but her work, what she has done, we have to see, we have to understand and we have to have a feeling that somehow as we now have got our enlightenment we should try to be people as complete instruments of that power.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“So far with our developments we only know the Knowledge of the Tree, but we have to know the Knowledge of the Roots which sustains this tree. If we do not know that Knowledge, it may be one day this great tree that we see which seems to be quite secure, may completely be destroyed. So it is important for everyone to have that Knowledge of the Roots within ourselves and within our society, within human beings as a whole.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @anas_boot

“Meditating together is the best way to feel the collectivity. You can meditate at home, of course, you also cleanse it for your depth, but also you must meditate together and when you meditate together then the strength that you have strengthens others, and the strength of the whole collectivity improves so much.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @ezioprandini
