Joy only can be achieved through complete detachment, the detachment which is egoless and superegoless.
Nirmala SrivastavaIf your body wants comfort, you try to make it learn to give up that. Try to make your body your slave and not you the slave of the body.
Nirmala SrivastavaThe truth is that you are the instrument of God, that you have to become one with God, that you have to be born again.
Nirmala SrivastavaWhen you stand in the present, you become thoughtlessly aware. And this state is the first state you achieve, and this is the state where you become absolutely peaceful within yourself. The peace is so great that you enjoy your peaceful existence. Not only that, but you become the source of peace. Wherever you go, you emit peace.
Nirmala SrivastavaNow when you meditate, try to meditate in a sustained way, first of all sustain it. Then you find that you are getting into the state of Samadhi, means at a state where you start feeling the joy and the bliss of God's blessings, and then you start saying "O God, what a blessing, what a blessing, and what a blessing". Once you have reached that state then you have to realize "Who am I". Who are you? What are you? You are the Spirit. After establishing your sustained attention on the Spirit you'll develop a state where you'll be in a complete state of witnessing with joy.
