Shri Mataji taught Advaita the non-dual state of being

August 15, 2008

Dear All,

Shri Mataji taught about " Advaita " , the non-dual state of being. Here are some

things She said on the subject of Advaita:

" People say I am preaching Advaita of Shankaracharya. Of course, it is the same,

whether it is Shri Sankaracharya or anybody. I am doing that. Only he was

preaching, I am doing it. "

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Achieving Truth, May 25, 1980

(345) " So, this is what it is - simply, that you are integrated. By integration

you get the power to do what you understand, and you have the power to feel

happy with what you understand. So you come to a state where you develop this

'niranand'. And you develop this niranand when you are absolutely the Spirit. In

the niranand state there’s no duality left – it's advaita; it's one personality.

That is, you are completely integrated and the joy is not anymore dented; it’s

complete. It hasn’t got a happiness and a sorrow aspect, but is just joy. The

joy is not that you laugh aloud; the joy is not that you are always smiling.

" No, it's the stillness, the quietude within yourself, the peace of your being,

of your Spirit, that asserts itself into vibrations which you feel - that when

you feel that peace, you feel like the light of the sun, the whole rays of that

beauty spreading. "

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

(961B) " What is the essence of Religion? The essence of Religion is to know God,

the Almighty. And one can never know the Almighty unless one knows the Spirit,

for it is His reflection in man, and only through it can one know Him. When it

awakens to assume Its seat in the Sahasrara of the Cosmos one becomes One with

Him. It is the goal of all ascent, and without it ascent has no meaning, is

sterile and deprived of essence, for we should know we are by His desire created

and made to become, and remain One, part and parcel with Him. To deny the Unity

of the Creator and His Creation, is an escape of the ego and those possessed by

it. It is an escape of the individual and a denial of the Advaita nature of the

Creation. "

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
