Sound Bite: One Who Knows

I felt the truth of it. I felt something deep inside me as the teacher shared: “You are Consciousness. Your own essence is Divine. Your core beingness is Beingness Itself. What you are looking for is you.” But you need help in finding you. You need one who knows to show you what is hidden… Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here.

10/29/2023 I Wanted to Know

You are made of Divine light, but how do you come to know? By the Grace of one who knows. That one is called “Guru.” The Divine energy of revelation is called Grace, for which the Sanskrit word is “Guru.” Through the Grace of a Satguru a person comes to know their own Self and is transformed. When you know, who will you be? Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Sound Bite: Start Inside

Sound Bite: Start Inside

Something happened in me, for me, with me, to me, when I sat with him. Something I couldn’t access so well on my own. So I spent as much time with him as possible. But I didn’t see God in him. Not in the beginning. If you can’t see God in a God-realized Being, where can you see God? You have to start inside. First you find God inside, then you see... – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here.

10/22/2023 You are Worthy

You are worthy. You don’t have to earn your self worth. You don’t have to deserve love. You don’t have to win your place on earth. You are inherently worthwhile. Your life has meaning and purpose, even if you haven’t completed what you came here to do yet. Bring your essence into the world and make a difference.

10/15/2023 What’s Happening Matters

What’s happening matters. You care. The problem with ignoring the news is that you’re avoiding caring. And when you shut down your caring, who loses the most? You do. You lose you. When you honor your own Self, your own Divine Essence, you come from a different place inside. Empowered, you see the deeper dimension in every person. You live in the light of your own Beingness and see it in others. Fueled by Guru’s Grace and filled by bliss, you are able to face the hard stuff in life without being destroyed by it.

Sound Bite: Guru

Sound Bite: Guru

One who gives the upwelling light of your own Self is called Guru. If someone else gives you the upwelling light of your own Self, then call them Guru. Personally, I never found anyone else who did. I definitely found people who caused upwelling feelings in me. Emotions ranging from happiness to pain, ranging from anger to love, ranging from fascination to fear. But no one else gave me my Self. No one but Baba. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here.

10/08/2023 Self Effort and Grace

If you want to call yourself a seeker you need to be putting effort into your seeking. Allow yourself to be saturated by the Guru’s flow of Divine Energy. Surrender to Grace. But even surrender takes self effort. Become anchored in your true nature. Are you paddling with the river of Grace or against it? Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Sound Bite: Once You are Enlightened

Once you are enlightened, you will still have a body. And it will still experience heat and cold, as well as pleasure and pain. Oh Arjuna, manage to endure them, by seeing that you are more than your senses… You’re not waiting for life to make you happy, because you already are. Happier than happy, you live in the continuing flow of the bliss of Consciousness. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here.

09/24/2023 Peeling the Onion

What happens when you can’t have what you want? Look at the desire itself and see what’s prompting it. Peel through the layers described the yogic sage Patanjali: Fear hides aversion. Aversion hides desire. Desire hides your small-s self. Your small-s self is hiding the not-knowing of your own Divine Essence. Peel back that final layer and uncover your own Self. It’s always there. You are always right here. Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Your spiritual depth makes a difference in your experience of pain. Pain is part of life, though it is impermanent.

Sound Bite: Happiness and Bliss

Sound Bite: Happiness and Bliss

What’s the difference between happiness and bliss? Happiness is the mind’s experience of bliss. Bliss is deeper and more expansive. When it arises from its source within, which is your own Self, it can fill your mind. That’s happiness. When you let the bliss arise from deep within, and you let it come up inside, come all the way up, literally through your neck and.... – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here.

When your mind experiences the Divine Consciousness that you are, the experience is one of bliss. This is the source of happiness, which arises from within. It arises from your own Self.

09/03/2023 What is Happiness?

Happiness is the thriving of the soul and doing what you were meant to do as a human. It is the mind’s experience of bliss. Your inherent nature is bliss. Happiness is a decision.

Sound Bite: Your Bliss Tank

Sound Bite: Your Bliss Tank

Bliss is what fuels your life. When you abide in turiya, even while waking, then the bliss is always arising. But, if you’re not abiding in turiya, you don’t have enough fuel to get through the day. So you have to fill your tank. If you don’t have enough bliss in your tank, you sputter, and die out. You can’t keep going. You gotta get your bliss. Why? Because bliss is… – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here.

08/27/2023 Did You Get Enlightened?

If you didn’t get enlightened while the pandemic had you isolating, then isolation is not your path to enlightenment. What you do with your day matters. You must master both the worldly and the spiritual dimensions to become enlightened. Let the Guru show you how to interweave both into a whole new way of living.
