More quotes by Nirmala Srivastava
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.
Nirmala Srivastava
It is everyone's right to achieve this state of ones evolution and everything necessary is already inbuilt. But as I respect your freedom, you have to have the desire to achieve this state, it cannot be forced upon you!
Nirmala Srivastava
Spirit is the only truth within us, the rest is all untruth.
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
Saintly people not only are responsible for themselves, but for everyone.
Nirmala Srivastava
Innocence never gets destroyed because it is eternal, but it may happen that it will get covered with some clouds by our mistakes that we commit. But once you get your Realization, your innocence is re-established, manifests, and you become innocent. Your attention becomes innocent.
Nirmala Srivastava
You should get completely detached about everything and you will enjoy, just enjoy. But in that also, one has to judge. Are you really enjoying or are you just making a drama out of it? Try to be sincere. Purity is brought forth by sincerity. If you are not sincere to yourself and to others, you cannot be pure.
Nirmala Srivastava
You must forgive everyone. Now many would say that We cannot forgive, it's very difficult. But it's a myth whether you forgive or don't forgive. What do you do? You don't do anything. But when you don't forgive, then you are playing into wrong hands. That means you are torturing yourself, while those who have troubled you are quite happy.
Nirmala Srivastava
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.
Nirmala Srivastava
How to do meditation, many people ask. Don't do anything, just go into thoughtless awareness. Try to go to the thoughtless awareness. If you can get into that condition of thoughtless awareness, you've done your job because that's the point where you are with the truth, with the reality, with the joy, with everything that is so fundamental.
Nirmala Srivastava
One should be prepared to surrender completely, absolutely to the will of God. Whatever He does is for our good.
Nirmala Srivastava
The absolute awareness only comes when you become the Spirit. When you get your realization and you become the Spirit. When you are the Spirit, then what happens that you start feeling on your central nervous the centers of all the people who are around you and your own centers.
Nirmala Srivastava
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.
Nirmala Srivastava
By meditation we develop that strength within us, so automatically we start solving the problem.
Nirmala Srivastava
After Self-Realisation it is easy to perceive the truth that all these religions were born on the same tree of spirituality, but that those in charge of each religion plucked the flowers from the living source and are now fighting each other with the dead flowers of merely partial truths.
Nirmala Srivastava
Through Sahaja Yoga what happens to you, that you become a collective personality.
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
If we do not know how to respect the Mother Earth, we do not know how to respect ourselves.
Nirmala Srivastava
So thoughtless awareness is the first beautiful state you have to achieve. That will give you peace and a witness state to enjoy the drama of life, to enjoy the different varieties of people, while you will be growing within yourself.
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
