Surrender is not that you should give up your family, give up your children, or give up your houses and homes and your properties. Surrendering is here: give up your ego to begin with and then give up your conditionings.

More quotes by 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.
Nirmala Srivastava
So to overcome the problems of personality the best thing is to witness, practice witnessing everything: before talking, practice witnessing, before giving any comments, just start witnessing. It's a very, very satisfying attitude.
Nirmala Srivastava
There is no need to condemn yourself in any way, or to elate yourself, but just be your Spirit. The best way to be with your Spirit is to forgive.
Nirmala Srivastava
When you are the Spirit, you are like a brilliant diamond, which is giving light by itself.
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
Without satisfaction, you cannot have compassion. You have to be satisfied souls, then your compassion will act.
Nirmala Srivastava
Like small children you must have a very clean heart to accept, to absorb the beauty of peace that is within you and also the beauty of purity. Without purity, you cannot enjoy anything.
Nirmala Srivastava
Enrichment only comes through purification.
Nirmala Srivastava
The more I know about myself the more dynamic I become, the more expansive I become.
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
Enlightenment of your brain means the limited capacity of your brain has to become unlimited in its capacity to realize God.
Nirmala Srivastava
The Spirit is the one that is love. Can you understand total love ? Can you understand something that just gives and enjoys giving and not asking for anything ? Loving for loves sake, that's what is your Spirit. It is watching you with that love, that total love.
Nirmala Srivastava
The Spirit is like the steady axis of a wheel. If our attention reaches the immovable firm axis at the very centre of the wheel of our existence (which is constantly moving), we become enlightened by the Spirit, the source of inner peace, and reach a state of complete calm and self-knowledge.
Nirmala Srivastava
Open your hearts, open your hearts, then only you can enjoy yourself.
Nirmala Srivastava
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.
Nirmala Srivastava
Intellect is not wisdom one must understand. They're two things - wisdom and intellect.
Nirmala Srivastava
Attention has to be concentrated upon your Spirit. Then you become the best instrument, your attention very powerful.
Nirmala Srivastava
Witness state is not a mental state, it is a state of a spiritual ascent where you become a witness. Best way to practice witness state is not to criticize anyone.
Nirmala Srivastava
To please the Divine, our character, our behavior should be absolutely clean.
Nirmala Srivastava
You should be a pleasing personality. Instead of thinking about how you should be pleased, I don't like this, I don't do like that, instead of, what have I done to please others?
Nirmala Srivastava
