voluntary renunciation
is the path to inner peace.
Sri Durgamayi Ma
Mataji's teachings
For every month of the year- Pictures by Vishwanath -
man can only be in search of something
that he already knows deep within himself.
Sri Durgamayi Ma
whoever renounces the fruits of his actions,
immerses himself in the present moment.
Sri Durgamayi Ma
when you begin to live in the conviction
that we humans are fundamentally good
you change yourself — and with you the world.
Sri Durgamayi Ma
when we give what we wish for ourselves, everyone is happy.
don’t dream of happiness – act for happiness!
Sri Durgamayi Ma
life is like a great river
where all things arise, suffer change and pass away.
happy the one who flows with it.
Sri Durgamayi Ma
accepting the past
man attains freedom,
to let go of all that is past.
Sri Durgamayi Ma
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
