Spirit is the only truth within us, the rest is all untruth.
Nirmala Srivastava
Image
Those people who have got wisdom are very lucky people, but wisdom comes from no source but your own understanding of life. When a person starts thinking, Why am I doing such and such thing ? What is the effect of my doing ? What is the result of my behaviour ? Is it good for me or bad for me ? , then wisdom comes.

So there is nothing to be proud of these worldly possessions. What you are to be proud of, or to be conscious of is your spirit. Spirit is the only thing that can kindle another spirit.

Image
...one need not, and should not, believe blindfolded in whatever is said about ascent or salvation, but should treat it like a hypothesis, and observe the facts with an open mind like a scientist.
Nirmala Srivastava
Image
One has to understand that we have to become a higher personality which is the spirit, which is the truth, which is the enlightened attention, and which is the joy.

Politicians should be dedicated to the welfare of the people, but sometimes politics becomes like a game of chess, in which the sole aim is to stay on board as long as possible.

Open your hearts, open your hearts, then only you can enjoy yourself.

The beauty of self realization lies in secretly working out within you everything that is virtuous, that is beautiful, that is joyful.

Bliss can only come through gratitude, only through enlarging your heart with gratitude. Bliss is the reward of gratitude - the gratitude which is not just wordly or just spoken lip service, but is from the heart - the gratitude of the heart.

What you have to get is a ocean of love within your heart and to seek that in others also.

Image
When you're desireless you are happy because you are never disappointed, you are never nervous. So to be desireless doesn't mean that you become something absurd or ascetic or anything like that, but not to expect something.
Nirmala Srivastava
Image
As scientists you must keep your minds open. There is no use having blind faith in Me, in Sahaja Yoga, in anything because blindness will never give you reality. But you should be open like scientists are and whatever hypothesis I am putting before you, you have to feel it on your central nervous system.

Sahaja Yoga is nothing but love, love, love. How much you love others is the main point.
Nirmala Srivastava
Image
A person is wise who does not only know what is right and wrong, but also he knows very well his own power not to do something wrong. He just does not do it. Wisdom is a complete power within ourselves by which we try nothing. It just spontaneously works through us and we do things which are proper and right.

When you are realized, you can start feeling your own chakras and the chakras of other people. This is enlightenment.
Nirmala Srivastava
Image
Dharma gives you the balance. It gives you the establishment into proper behavior, proper understanding, proper living, but it doesn't give you the completion of your journey. It doesn't give you the satisfaction of reaching the destination and your personality is still incomplete. So one has to have the experience of the spirit.

Your nervous system has to become collectively conscious.
Nirmala Srivastava
Image
The main thing is you have to be under the protection of spirituality, under the protection of morality, under the protection of divine laws. If you're not under that protection, you can get caught up into anything.
Nirmala Srivastava
Image
Enlightenment of your brain means the limited capacity of your brain has to become unlimited in its capacity to realize God.
Nirmala Srivastava

The mind creates all the problems for an individual or for the collective. One has to go beyond the mind into thoughtless awareness, where there is peace.
