“Love is the greatest quality of human beings.”
“I just want to thank you all from My heart for coming to celebrate this anniversary with your love. I can’t do more than to thank you really how you people have appreciated My humble work. Moreover, it’s a work of just love. Love is the greatest quality of human beings. And if you have developed that then you will forget all other things. Because love has its own reward and the reward is here, I can see it.”

“I hope you will understand that Sahaja Yoga is emphasizing on marriages, and we do not believe in any asceticism, running away from family life. We believe that family life is the most important thing. We have to establish it very well on this Earth, and that we have to see in these beautiful nests of divine love that great souls are born, and we have to continue with it. There’s no escape from having a very good married life. And I wish you, all of you, that you will have a very good happy married life. And those who are not married, I wish them that they also will have a very happy married life.
Now I’ve been married, I think thirty-sixth year is this, My marriage today. There’s so many years have passed but still, I still feel like a bride with My husband, because really we have been very wise people to live like that. And of course there are ups and downs, but ultimately one feels very different about the whole thing. He has sent a beautiful letter today, thanking you all for your kindness shown to Me, and for all the kindness you have shown to him.”

“I must say that without C.P.’s help I could not have done Sahaja Yoga”
“I must say that without C.P.’s help I could not have done Sahaja Yoga because he has only one Wife and I’m always out, I’m always traveling. I’m, I mean, I’m very, very little time with him. One thing he used to do the same to Me before. So (laughs) he’s used to My absence, I think, but I must say My children and My family, which is here, they also always support Me in Sahaja Yoga and they respect Sahaja Yogis very much and they think that what work I am doing is the only solution for saving the world.”

“Marriages are important, because they help Sahaja Yoga.”
“Marriage has been established by God. Is an auspicious thing and is to be respected. All these ideas must be given up that marriages are not important. Marriages are very important, but not more than Sahaja Yoga. Marriages are important, because they help Sahaja Yoga. Not because they go against Sahaja Yoga. So more time must be spent with Sahaja Yoga activities, both of you should work it out. And not that we should have a nice holiday together, or sort of a thing like that, you’ll never enjoy. You cannot enjoy holiday without Sahaja Yogis being there. Now these are your holidays, these are your festivals, these are your enjoying places. I know you enjoy here much more than anywhere else, isn’t it? So that’s what it is! So why should we go for any special holidays separately and this and that and become miserable and come back with all catches? So I am thankful to you for arranging this program today on an auspicious day for me, it was an auspicious day that I married Mr. Shrivastava, and it’s an auspicious day for all of you, that we… we have to understand that marriage has to be done in a proper way, in a sahajayoga way and is to be lived in a Sahaja Yoga manner.”
