Whatever Happens Is the Best
Nov 14th, 2014
“Whatever is best happens to me.
So whatever happens to me, I know is the best,
is all for my good, is for the good of Sahaja Yoga…
When you’re desireless you are happy
because you are never disappointed,
you are never nervous…
So make the best of all disappointments.
If there is a disappointment, just smile at it
and know it is for your good to discover something new,
to find out something better.
But the conditioning is so strong.
That’s why I say, ‘Be in the collective.’
Our banyan tree is the collectivity.
We have to make ourselves subtler beings,
to be one with the collective
and that is very enjoyable, very beautiful.”
Shri Mataji, founder of Sahaja Yoga
