More quotes by Nirmala Srivastava
Unless and until you introspect you cannot even respect yourself. You cannot even love yourself. If you love yourself you will introspect and find out what's wrong.
Nirmala Srivastava
Enrichment only comes through purification.
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
Intellect is not wisdom one must understand. They're two things - wisdom and intellect.
Nirmala Srivastava
Absolute knowledge is only possible when you know the Absolute Truth and to have the Absolute Truth you have to go to the Absolute Being within you which is your Spirit. So, it gives you the truth, it gives you the collective consciousness. The main thing is that you become extremely peaceful personality, you become peace, you emit peace.

If you have love, you can correct people without saying anything to them because love is a supreme intelligence.
Nirmala Srivastava
You don't have to have blind faith for anything. Blind faith leads to fanaticism. You shouldn't have blind faith at all. You have to experience, and after experiencing if you do not have faith, that means you are not honest.
Nirmala Srivastava
Without satisfaction, you cannot have compassion. You have to be satisfied souls, then your compassion will act.
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
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
Only your ascent is important. Once you ascend, everything is saved
Nirmala Srivastava
Whatever you have to have, try to have something which is handmade.
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
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
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
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
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
The worst type of freedom we are suffering from in modern times is the freedom to lead an immoral life.
Nirmala Srivastava
You will find the truth the way you have found your awareness, spontaneously. It's a living process.
Nirmala Srivastava
Integration is nothing but your complete connection with your spirit.
