"People are lost because they have no knowledge. Knowledge from books is no knowledge. Their knowledge must come from within... and that has come because of Sahasrara opening."
- Sahasrara Puja 9 May 2004 Cabella

"When you Mother is the deity of the Sahasrara, the only way to be able to keep the Sahasrara open has to be complete surrendering."

What is needed is, "a surrender to fill up your vessels with the bliss, the bliss of divinity, so that when you go to others you pour on them the beauty and love of God.... Through your own spirit, through your own state, you can fulfill the assignment, but lack of faith in yourself cannot give you surrendering powers. Surrender is the opening of Sahasrara, keeping it completely open so that the nirvikalpa state is established within us."

"The lotus of your Sahasrara is open now. It must open more and more and more and should not suddenly collapse.... Sahasrara is not a pendulum. It is a lotus. So the pendulum is the chitta, is the attention, the attentin that moves from left to right, right to left, goes on like that all the time."

"Take a vow within your heart. It's not the words that are important. It has to be loving action of your being that should prove, that should conviince you that we are fully surrendered. And the effects of that you'll feel in your own personality, in your own being, in your own manifestation."
