More quotes by Nirmala Srivastava
Kundalini is your Mother. She has been with you for ages and She has been waiting for this day when you could get your Realization.
Nirmala Srivastava
These are the times described in the Holy Bible as the Last Judgement and in the Koran as Kiyama, the Resurrection time. Astrologically it is also called the Age of Aquarius, the time of rebirth and of great spiritual development on the Earth.
Nirmala Srivastava
To get rid of greed, you should try to do some sort of a collective social work.
Nirmala Srivastava
Within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There is an ocean of all that. We cannot seek it outside, we have to go within.
Nirmala Srivastava
Now, you just watch your attention. Where is it going? Watch yourself. As soon as you'll start watching yourself, your attention, you'll become more identified with your Spirit.
Nirmala Srivastava
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.
Nirmala Srivastava
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.
Nirmala Srivastava
Once you are enlightened, you don't do wrong things. You don't take to wrong things. Then you start understanding all these prophets, all these great incarnations, you start understanding what they were. Then you understand that all these religions have come out of one Tree of Life, which is spirituality.
Nirmala Srivastava
...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
Without knowing your Spirit you cannot know God.
Nirmala Srivastava
You have to learn humility. First of all you have to be humble people. Unless and until you have a large heart you can never humble down. You have to be an extremely humble person. Humility doesn't mean that you bow to a person who is dominating, it never means that. But it means a strength within you. The person who is weak can never be humble.
Nirmala Srivastava
To please the Divine, our character, our behavior should be absolutely clean.
Nirmala Srivastava
The ascent is the aim of your life and to perfect it is your job.
Nirmala Srivastava
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.
Nirmala Srivastava
Only your ascent is important. Once you ascend, everything is saved
Nirmala Srivastava
As in any machine, all the wires must be connected to the mains through one main wire. In the same way, you all must be connected to God individually so that you all are connected among yourselves. I have been saying this again and again and again because at the Sahasrara you are being blessed with this collective spirit.
Nirmala Srivastava
What do you have to surrender? A drop has to dissolve into the ocean to become the ocean. And a drop cannot be greater than the ocean, can it? So what is the surrendering? It is the surrendering of our conditioning, of our ego and the artificial barriers we have built around us.
Nirmala Srivastava
The truth which can be actualized after Self Realization is that you are not this body, this mind, this conditioning from the past, this ego, these emotions, but that you are the pure spirit.
Nirmala Srivastava
Meditating together is the best way to feel the collectivity.
Nirmala Srivastava
That's the quality of the Spirit that you start feeling so joyous and the joy doesn't have the duality of happiness and unhappiness. It's singular.
Nirmala Srivastava
