Papa—Mataji is the servant of the Universal Self and not of the individual...Mataji is transparently pure...

Papa—The Ashram belongs to Krishnabai and not to Ramdas. Ramdas would have been an orphan if Krishnabai had not taken care of him. 

Papa—Ramdas told Krishnabai that if she was attached to his person the ego will come back to her

Attachment to anybody is the authentication of the ego in us...


Mataji---whatever spiritual practices you have to undergo, the best place to start is your own home, until real dispassion ceases you..

Mataji- Desist from telling lies. By uttering falsehood because of body-consciousness, you are putting a big boulder on  your spiritual path.

Mataji---don’t attach too much importance to visions . Strive to attain the highest.

Mataji—be humble and never command. Sadhaka must never advise others. The moment you ask others to do something you relegate that person to an inferior position and this is irreverence shown to the Guru..

Mataji---develop fearlessness

Mataji---correct mistakes. Dehabhiman makes the sadhaka develop the attitude of ‘holier than thou’

Mataji—avoid condemning anyone. Put yourself in their position

Mataji—contact of saints can benefit if the sadhaka knows how to make the best of it. A calf which is frolicking about and returns to the mother only at intervals is the recipient of the mother’s nourishing milk whereas blood is sucked by the ‘-------‘ which sits on it all the time..

Mataji—develop love and reverence to all. Reverential love to all which you have for the Guru.

Mataji—be unswerving . We should never be satisfied with whatever little progress is made. If we are to rest on our laurels, we are bound to fall ...

Guru
Mataji---pray to become one with the Guru. Let your thought always dwell on the Guru . Identify each thought with the Guru. Consider each work as dedication to the Guru

Mataji—when you feel attached to someone, see the Guru in him and pray to the Guru , to transform it to supreme love..

Mataji—let us do what we have to do and the Guru will do as He thinks best

Mataji—when you see all as the forms of the Guru, it is easy to become humble. The conceit of birth, learning, spiritual achievement prevents us from becoming humble 

Mataji---The Guru is anxious about your progress. So he may say what may look irrelevant. But you must not feel bad and accept it. 

Mataji---Guru is God himself in human form. We can be taught only by someone who has our own form. 

Mataji—serve the Guru only to the extent it is required. We should not thrust ourselves on anyone. Then the whole value of service is gone. 

Mataji—If you desire intensely for your Guru, you can get him wherever , in whichever country you are

Mataji—Guru is eternal and infinite. His chief quality is utter void. When the disciple makes a clean breast of himself, he enjoys true and lasting peace.

Until we become conscious of the Guru within, we need a Guru without.
