Shri Mataji's words about the journey of Sahaja Yoga, originally published in the Divine Cool Breeze magazine volume 18 number 1. "Within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There’s an ocean of all that. We cannot seek it outside. We have to go within, what they call 'in the meditative state.' You seek it. You enjoy it. Like when you are thirsty, you go to a river or you go to an ocean and try to quench your thirst. But even the ocean cannot give you sweet water. So how can anything that is spread outside give you that deep thing that is within you. You’re trying to find it outside, where it does not lie. It is within us, absolutely within us. It is so simple because it is your own. It is within your reach – just there."
