Teachings
- In Gurumaa's own words, If her teachings are to be summarized in one thing, it would be awareness.
- Gurumaa also emphasizes the need for all seekers to free themselves from the outer garb of religion, asserting that we don't experience fulfilment because of our expectations. Enlightenment can only happen if one surrenders completely to the existence.
| “ | our relationship with God is rooted in expectations, which stops us from experiencing fulfilment. In the same manner, enlightenment will be denied to us as long as we long for it. It is only when we surrender the desire, that we will attain to it. | ” |

Famous quotes containing the word teachings:
“... there are no chains so galling as the chains of ignorance—no fetters so binding as those that bind the soul, and exclude it from the vast field of useful and scientific knowledge. O, had I received the advantages of early education, my ideas would, ere now, have expanded far and wide; but, alas! I possess nothing but moral capability—no teachings but the teachings of the Holy Spirit.”
—Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
“We denote this primary wisdom as Intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
