give peace, the bliss and the joy of our being."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"You are your Self and you must see yourself as your Self, as your Spirit;
and Spirit is a Universal Being, is the innocence, is the virgin within you.
This body is a palace and it is the House of God. Within it God kept the
Infinite Flame."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

become that.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

then your faith is established; not blind but enlightened faith.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
“Freedom is when you really get your own powers which are within you, in you
central nervous system and in your conscious mind. You must feel the existence
of the Spirit.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

upon you. She takes you away from the worries of grosser level.”

is the only way you can grow because when you meditate you are in Silence; you

have to know your spirit... for without knowing your spirit, you cannot know
the truth."

ourselves. Sahaja Yoga allows the individual to become his own spiritual
guide."

within you. Allow it to work out."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Yoga is different from the other yogas because it begins with Self realization
instead of this being the unobtainable dream of a distant goal."

and doing everything for you."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

everything and it is He who enjoys everything."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Atma (Spirit/Self) is the reflection of Paramatma (Self/God Almighty) in
our heart. This reflection is like the sun in water. Although reflection of the
sun is in the water, he is away in the sky and not in the water. Similarly,
Atma is as much as it is seen, it is beyond all that and not limited by it."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"The Atma (Spirit) resides inside this heart and after Sahaja Yoga its
light spreads within us in seven layers."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"The representatives of SadaShiva (God Almighty) and Adi Shakti (His
Power) in us are the Atma and the Kundalini."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Meditation, where you are connected to the All-pervading Divinity, is the
starting point in Sahaja Yoga."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"When you try to seek the Knowledge you have to become the Knowledge. The
light of Love is so sweet, so beautiful, so enamoring, so abounding. You can
feel that Light within you which is of pure love, pure relationship and pure
understanding."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Kundalini
is our Mother, we are her only children and she has been with us through all
our lives just waiting for the moment of fulfillment."

and it is His grace which is going to make you a supreme human being in Sahaja
Yoga."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Some are rich, some are poor, these are transitory things. Look into the
heart within and enjoy that Love. With that Love you elevate and once more rise
to greatness."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"We do not know our potential, our beauty, but once this connection with
the mains is established you will be surprised at the results and the dynamism.
Through our love we can absorb the defects of others and cleanse them. This is
the power of Love. So far we have never used the power of Love."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"You cannot make your Kundalini pulsate with your mind. The Divine, if it
has to do something, it must be extra-ordinary which human beings cannot do. To
pulsate Kundalini is only possible for the Divine. It is a living force."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"A spiritual person is just innocent, just innocent. Whatever he talks or
says comes through innocence. It just says what it knows and what it knows is
the highest."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"God is infinite. You don't have to count His aspects. You want to enjoy
Him. The wise simply eat the fruit, they do not count the leaves, roots and
branches."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"It is very important to understand that without transformation you have
no meaning. Whatever you are, do not identify yourselves with that, but
whatever you want to be, try to be that."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Spirit
is the only thing that is at the center, and at the periphery if you look at
things, they look as if they are separate and different. But if you can
approach somehow into that state where your Spirit resides, you will be amazed
to see that everything integrates, everything coordinates, and there is no
difference. Say, in Mohammed Sahib, Dattatreya, Raja Janaka or Shirdi Sai Nath
— there is no difference in their principle if you can just get your
Spirit."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Until you are able to understand the meaning of the "Self", the
physical body would remain imperfect and would be unable to verify the Truth.
But once the physical instrument is connected with Truth, you are able to
verify the Truth."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"When you become one with the Spirit all your problems will be solved. A
realised person never talks in first person. He becomes separate from himself
leaving aside his desires, his materialistic ideas."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Meditation is nothing but the state of remaining in the constant company
of the every-loving Bhagawati."
[Bhagawati is the Primordial/Divine Mother]
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"The essence of all religions is to find the eternal."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"In Sahaja Yoga, you have to understand one simple thing, that you are the
Spirit and whatever is not the Spirit is not yourself."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"God has created man with his Shakti and man has to know Him, and
recognize Him through Kundalini awakening. Blossom Time has come and many
ancient seekers are today getting their Self-Realisation."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"The object of Sahaja Yoga is basically to become and experience the
spiritual Self."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"It's
the culture of God, we are talking about, it's the culture of His kingdom where
we give to others, enjoying, giving, doing for others, loving others, caring
for others without any return."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"The only thing where you can really hide yourself is the love of God;
where you can really get the great restful, blissful feeling of His complete
protection."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"If in one lifetime you can achieve Self-Realization and you reach the
point of having begun to lose your habits, then in that very lifetime, it is
possible for you to acquire that so called State. An established Sahaja Yogi is
the one who becomes completely one with God and wins Him over."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"This is the Last Judgment. Remember, God will not bow before you. You
have to accomplish Him in your own freedom. If you have not achieved Him it is
not His fault nor is it of Sahaja Yoga."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
