“You have everything within you, that power, like you get lifted up. Like a lotus that rises out of the mire by its own force, you come up and your fragrance fills that mire, and you are amazed at it yourself. First you are identified with that mire, and you think that this is what it is – but it’s not so. When it comes up, that lotus, it spreads its beautiful petals, and the fragrance gives us that personality which spreads all over. And that’s what is going to happen to you. All of you are going to be that lotus which looks hidden, which is absolutely invisible within you, which is going to open out, and the fragrance of your divinity is going to spread.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @smileyax

“The most symbolic thing is His birth. He was born in a manger. Just imagine, in a manger, full of straws assembled together, this Child was born where there were other animals used to be. See the way this great Incarnation took birth. He was not king. He was not a big, rich man. He was born as a very poor person and in a place which is something very much below the human standard. This message is that you don’t need palaces, you don’t need huge places to be born. You can be born anywhere if you are a pure spirit.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
