Nirmala Srivastava (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi) Quotes
You have to learn humility. First of all you have to be humble people. Unless and until you have a large heart you can never humble down. You have to be an extremely humble person. Humility doesn't mean that you bow to a person who is dominating, it never means that. But it means a strength within you. The person who is weak can never be humble.

No woman worth her salt, one might think, could fail to be intrigued.
