“We do not realize also that the Goddess has given us the tremendous power to love. Love cannot be an inauspicious power. The auspicious, dharmic power to love somebody means without any lust and greed, without any jealousy.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @photo_t_evtushenko

“We have to have the same kind of surrender, that whatever we have to do, we have to do it with a surrender. We should not think that we are achieving something by that, we are showing off by that or anything. Just, we should feel that is being done because we are surrendered. We should feel our surrender as a great blessing. If you can put your attention to your heart and just say that “I surrender myself,” that’s more than sufficient.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @alekssandra93

“…when this power is awakened, it rises and passes through six subtle energy centers in your body, nourishing them and integrating them. Ultimately, this power breaks through the fontanel bone area called as the Taloo or the Brahmarandra and connects you to the all-pervading power of Divine love, which is described in the Bible also as the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost also in the Koran as Ruh and also in the Indian scriptures as Paramchaitanya.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @happy_ann.lo

“Meditation is the only way you give up your left, give up your right, and you are just standing in the center, enjoying the wisdom, enjoying the joy of your being.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sy_way

“So for a Sahaj Yogi it is important to introspect and see for yourself what is your level — as I told you about the reflector — what sort of a reflector you are. No use deceiving yourself, because Sahaj Yoga is for you, for your benevolence, and your Kundalini is for your benevolence. The ascent is the aim of your life, and to perfect it is your job. So you don’t have to take to anything outside. It is inside you have to see yourself — what sort of attachments you have.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @minutkaite

“When you make a good family, then you create a beautiful, very beautiful universe around you. And universes after universes like this can create a beautiful universe in the whole world. There’s nothing to sacrifice, but to enjoy everything. As I said, you enjoy your hospitality, you enjoy your generosity, which you do not feel is a misery or a trouble to you, but you just enjoy.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @valushann
