Advice by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:Through our conditionings, through our fears we have a mind of our own. Now mind is to be divided into two. The English mind is different from the Sanskrit manas. Manas is whatever is the superego in you. Whatever is condition within you, is manas, and the ego is different. So there is a superego and ego to a mind, out of which the superego, the mind, it

To all the seekers of joy I bow.I already told you that joy has no duality. It does not have happiness and unhappiness. It should never be confused with pleasures. Because the pleasure that looks today the pleasure tomorrow will turn into remorse.The joy is absolute and eternal. It does not change. Only thing that how far we have been able to allow the Spirit to shine in our attention? And how

Advice by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:Another disease that people normally suffer from specially in Delhi is very common, is diabetes. Diabetes is caused because the same center, which is using its power to supply the cells the fat cells for your brain has to look after also the pancreas. Now the pancreas is the one which digests your sugars. Now if all the time you are thinking all the time you’re

So many names have been described of the Goddess, especially Adi Shankaracharya called Her Raja Rajeshwari, meaning “She’s the Queen of all the Queens”. Also, for Mother Mary they have used this title in the West. These ideas have come from the pagan religion, as I’ve told you before, and that they didn’t come by the description of Mother Mary in the Bible. That shows that there have been a lot

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: Now let me ask a question. Why a child will have an allergy? The doctors have to answer. Or, of course you are all doctors so you should say. Can I have the answer?Yogi: It could be an imbalance of heat and cold in the body?Shri Mataji: But why? Say on the chakras. You say on the chakras what will be catching. If somebody has allergies, what does it catch?Yogi: The Left

Now for the new people I have to tell, you have to have patience with yourself. You have to have patience. As I have patience for you, I have love for you, I am here only because of you. You also must have patience for yourself and full confidence in yourself that you’ll become the Spirit. If you have these two things, I’m sure it will work out. It is going to work out.

In this song, saint Namdev uses symbolism to emphasis the need for attention on the Divine during daily life. A variant of this poem has been refered to by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in several talks (eg. 1990-0506, 1995-0716, and others):The name Ram has entered my heart, placing a golden scale within.A man makes a paper kite and flies it in the sky.And though he keeps talking to his friends,his

Even when you get your realisation you are sometimes in a growing stage up to a point. Like you're nourished by the Mother Earth all the time, but you're not aware of it. In the same way the womb of Sahaja Yoga nourishes you to grow into beautiful human beings. Still you have to come up to a point when it has to click in such a way that you start feeling the awareness of that unbounding love. In

First time I went to America I also went by ship. Now the ship has one problem: that it cannot have any problem, because there are no solutions. It is so limited. Whatever is not on the ship is not there. Now, supposing you want to have a pair of scissors, it's not on the ship, so you cannot find it. So there's no problem.

Advice given by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:As I told you about eyes yesterday, it’s very important that eyes are the ones which give you the play of Shri Krishna, the power of Shri Krishna.

When I was a young student in school, at that time I could never have believed that we could ever reach the moon, none could have believed. If anyone would have said that, the people would have laughed at such a conjecture. Even today if you tell my grandmother, she does not believe it. She thinks it is just a story you are telling. But we have reached the moon, no doubt.In this system, we have

Gautama, Prince Siddhartha, known to history as The Buddha, (d. c.400BCE) was an Indian guru, and founder of what has become known as Buddhism. Shri Mataji has talked of the Buddha many times, in particular mentioning the sacrifices made by those who followed him:They would go, get people from all the villages, whatever was possible, and would bring them to Buddha for a sermon – such sacrifices.

When you start surrendering and the faith comes in, then your awareness rises higher than this, and these small, small, little, little things which have become subtler, they start departing from you.

Question from yogi: Can you tell us a bit about sunset; are we not to look at the sunset? Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:Sunset is not very good, sunset is not good. That’s the time the sun is taking away all the energies from this earth. So it’s not such a good time to see. It depends on, for example, ego-oriented people if they see sun would be better off. Little bit of their ego might go down. But

Acupuncture actually is the tapping of the power which is already within us. Now for example, you have a certain power in your stomach. Now this power is continuously supplied to your other organs in the stomach. It is used for that.
