“Sahaja Yoga is such a kind, compassionate happening that it really makes you a different person who is a master of himself; no more enslavement. All this slavishness goes away. All this fear disappears. You become master of yourself and in that mastery you are the master of love, master of compassion, master of wisdom. This should happen to all of us.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“So when you surrender ego, what do you do actually is to say that, “I’m not doing anything, it is You who do everything.” So that a little drop has now become an ocean. And so, your sound has got the power of the ocean.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“Spiritual ascent is the last breakthrough of your evolutionary process. Now this breakthrough is your right to have it. As you have become the human being, you have to become the spiritual being. As you have evolved spontaneously, you have to get this ascent spontaneously. Because it’s the living force.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @clemencedaya

“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 @clkjale

“…try to understand, if a little colour, limited colour, is dropped into the ocean, the colour loses its identity completely. Think of the other way round. If the ocean is coloured, and is poured into atmosphere or onto any part, any – any little wee bit, or onto any spot, onto any atom or anything, it all becomes colourful. So the Spirit is like the ocean, which has the light in it. And when this ocean pours into the little cup of our brain, the cup loses its identity, and everything becomes spiritual. Everything.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @neelxm

“So the purity of love is to be understood with complete discretion, because this purity acts; it acts in the nature, it acts in the human beings, it acts into everything. The action is the same as the action, the gentle action of the Mother Earth.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @tanmae_buenavida
