“Surrender and, you’ll be surprised, you will be at the state where you will enjoy your absoluteness. It is absolute love, it is absolute compassion, it is absolute power. The words stop, the description stops, you just become the absolute and feel your absoluteness through it with that oneness. If somebody is not with you, you don’t worry. There’s no company needed. You’re alone, enjoying the Absolute.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @sunchau3333

“You go beyond time. Every time you are in meditation only. You see, what is meditation? You cannot do meditation, you have to be in meditation. You become meditative. You are all the time in meditation. I mean, there is no time when you are not, because you become a different person.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @berfinkoyun_

“I’m neither the mind, intelligence, ego nor chitta; Neither the ears nor the tongue, Nor the senses of smell and sight, Neither ether nor air, Nor fire nor water nor earth; I am eternal bliss and awareness. I am Shiva I am Shiva…”

“This is how we need to understand Self-realization. One is you are what you are and you are watching yourself in mirror. It is your reflection. And the action of watching your reflecting is a third thing. In this way you are going around in three spheres. One witness who sees, another what you see and third that action. These can all go away if you become your own mirror. You know yourself.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @divyesh193

“In the present everything is fleeting. Everything is fleeting that is not eternal. In the present the eternal stays, the rest all drops out. It’s like a moving river which doesn’t stop anywhere. But the moving river is eternal. The rest of the things are all changing. If you are on the Eternal Principle, all that is not eternal changes and drops out, dissolves and becomes nonexistent.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @the_life_amateur

“First and foremost thing is that to respect Shri Ganesha is to understand the importance of chastity. Chastity is not only for the women, it is more for the men to observe. If you have self-respect, in the real sense of the word, you will take to chastity without any difficulties.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @photo_t_evtushenko
