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
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
In emotions you should be bubbling with joy. Joy is your emotion. In action you should be thoughtless and in ascent you should be surrendered.
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
I don't like it or I like it. This sentence must go away from your tongue. Likes and dislikes are only for people who have limited vision. You should learn to appreciate.
Nirmala Srivastava
What is the greatest thing in us is our Spirit, is the Spirit that we have and we should know that we should be proud of it that we have got the Spirit within us. And if you become proud, then you will not do nonsensical things.
Nirmala Srivastava
If we do not know how to respect the Mother Earth, we do not know how to respect ourselves.
Nirmala Srivastava
Science is absolutely incomplete unless and until the scientists are Realised Souls. Medicine is incomplete, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, everything is incomplete unless and until you know the Divine laws.
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
We have to get awakened to the fact that in recent decades, great destruction has been caused to our moral values as a result of our children, parents and families, getting influenced by the chaotic conditions of modern times.
Nirmala Srivastava
Your innocence itself is a power and your innocence will definitely give you that wisdom by which you can solve all the problems without any difficulty.
Nirmala Srivastava
Attention has to be concentrated upon your Spirit. Then you become the best instrument, your attention very powerful.
Nirmala Srivastava
If you want to be positive, it is very easy and for that you should see where is your attention. Are you only seeing problems or are you seeing some fun in it?
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
If your body wants comfort, you try to make it learn to give up that. Try to make your body your slave and not you the slave of the body.
Nirmala Srivastava
Ego is the greatest hurdle for your ascent. You see that ego is at a place where you have to just cross to go to Sahasrara, and to break Sahasrara is very easy otherwise. But if there is ego, you are already lost in that ego.
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
Yoga is a big misnomer in the west, people don't know what this yoga is. Yoga means union with the divine. When you become one with the divine, the divine starts flowing through you and you become part and parcel of the whole.
Nirmala Srivastava
Without knowing your Spirit you cannot know God.
Nirmala Srivastava
The truth is you are the pure Spirit. The second truth is that there is a all-pervading Divine power of love. This power of love does all the living work.
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.
