Shri Mataji
The essence of love is concern. Even if, supposing, somebody does wrong, the concern of the Divine would be to correct that person…. The concern for the benevolence will be all the time there – whether it may appear to be sometimes cruel, might appear to be affectionate, might appear to be over-indulgent – whatever. It may take a form like a wave. Whichever way it may look … it is for your benevolence. It works not only for your benevolence, but the collective benevolence. And it knows very well what is to be done, how it is to be worked out. It does not have to go and learn from anywhere because the complete knowledge of all this know-how also is within itself. It’s such a storage of wisdom, knowledge and love, so it does not deviate.
Shri Mataji, 1989

You have seen how a flower shakes off all that is not needed, blooms out, pierces its head outwards, opens out just to give fragrance to others. If you want to give fragrance to others, how far is there fragrance within you? Is there fragrance within you that you are going to give fragrance to others?
So that is what one has to find out and to do…. You have to bloom out, bloom like flowers. Change yourself. Transform yourself. This transformation is going to help you. This is like triggering into a new dimension of life. Unless and until this triggering shows, your life has no meaning, Sahaja Yoga has no meaning to you. So try your level best to trigger this transformation every minute of your life. Then you will be amazed at the enrichment of life.
Shri Mataji, 1980
