“The Spirit is shining, the sun is shining, but your tree of life has to get your nourishment from collectivity. Once you realise that, it works wonders. It has worked wonders with so many people all over the world.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @hiomei_

“Like on a wave-free surface of some lake, you can see the complete image, the reflection, of the surroundings of that lake. The complete creation, the complete joy comes to us. In the same way you become absolutely thoughtless. You see something and you become absolutely thoughtless, because the joy is so complete, that you just get stunned and the whole thing starts pouring into you, like showers of joy. It’s an experience which you cannot have before Realisation. It’s only possible after Realisation: that you can enjoy your attention.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @tanmae_buenavida

“The purity is the main point which we have to have, once you are pure you don’t have to worry, then I look after you. But the purity of mind, purity of heart, and the purity of your attention, these three things are very important. Then it works out, you’ll be surprised, collectivity will grow in no time.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“When the Kundalini rises, she elongates the thoughts and this space increases and you become thoughtlessly aware, thoughtlessly aware. You become, again I say you become.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @lubaks_school

“Sahaja Yoga first of all is for personal improvement, is for the inner improvement as far as the personal side is concerned – means your intelligence must improve, your temperament must improve, your heart must clear out, your feelings must be all right. Then you should, your health should be all right, then your relationship with others should be all right, your ego should go away, your superego should go away – all these things are there. But this only helps a personality, just a personality that is very limited, that is yourself. But now this personality can become an instrument, if you can develop that depth within yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“Unless and until you have purity the light of love will not shine, the light of love will not shine. You have to absorb the light of love within yourself, but you cannot unless and until you are a pure personality. And that pure personality has to develop by your meditation, by working hard, it’s a question of few years. In 10 years we can change the whole world, in 10 years but you have to be really very dedicated.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @ca_abbott
