Mataji's teachings

unwavering
the inner master accompanies you –
through all darkness
towards light.
Sri Durgamayi Ma

train your ability to feel –
only what is
not how you would like things to be.
Sri Durgamayi Ma

you and I are one
and you will never be alone again.
these words Sri Neem Karoli Baba spoke to Mataji,
shortly before his mahasamadhi in 1973

to act lovingly
makes you a loving person.
and a better world
needs many loving people.
Sri Durgamayi Ma

it is a high art
to question oneself,
in order to find ever greater independence
of oneself.
Sri Durgamayi Ma

the one who loves unconditionally,
who expects nothing in return,
who simply loves –
has freed himself from the cycle of
‘as you do me, so I do you.’
Sri Durgamayi Ma

put your trust in me
and never let despair
and discouragement
rule your life.
Sri Durgamayi Ma

my love will guard you and protect you
and offer you refuge,
whenever you need it.
Sri Durgamayi Ma

faith as an instrument,
to reach beyond the mind,
is something very much alive.
Sri Durgamayi Ma

a source of inner strength
is in all beings –
it springs from itself
and so never runs dry.
Sri Durgamayi Ma
