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 SrivastavaUnless and until your Sahasrara is open, all the blessings of the Divine Power cannot come to you.
Nirmala SrivastavaThe attention has to be on the Spirit. And that cannot be there unless and until something happens within.
Nirmala SrivastavaOne should be prepared to surrender completely, absolutely to the will of God. Whatever He does is for our good.
Nirmala SrivastavaPeople talk of peace, "We should have peace" - how can you have peace? It's not possible, is an impossible situation. You see we think by thinking, by organizing, by manipulating, we'll have peace. You cannot. You cannot have peace that way. How will you have peace? When the peace is established on your attention. When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides.
