Seekers are that special category of people who are aware that they have to seek something more than material well-being or power or the so-called pleasures of life. There is a special category born out of the people who have had this seeking before they came on this Earth. They worked it out and today they are ready to receive the knowledge. This book is a welcoming message to those seekers of truth.
JOURNEY WITHIN: THE FINAL STEPS TO SELF REALIZATION is the story of our spiritual ascent, both as individuals and collectively. With equal parts instruction and inspiration, the book beautifully describes how we have gotten where we are today and our essential next steps. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi gave more than 3000 recorded talks all around the world. Whether it was a village school, a medical conference, a gathering of UN employees or a suburban hall on a hot summer evening, her central words were the same: introspection, ascent, inner peace and Ð most important of all Ð a realization of our true self. With humour and love, she both guided and listened. From the opening words, ÒMy father felt that I would do something great, Ó we can sense the trajectory of this tale. And we know too that we are bound for that same greatness. With this book, Shri Mataji reminds us of the journey we are all on. And the direction of that journey is always the same. It is a JOURNEY WITHIN.
As you read this Devi Mahatmyam, you will feel the joy, the power and the wonder of the Divine Mother. At its simplest level, the Devi Mahatmyam is the battle between good and evil. But on that battlefield, the majesty of the Mother Goddess should not be underestimated. She does not wage wars with the aid of grand armies or divine allies. She alone is the source and the strength. In a new translation of this sacred text, Lyndal Vercoe offers a direct and devotional rendering. This is not just a description of Divine Power. It is a worship and a praise of God as the Mother of the Universe. Say those words to yourself and feel their meaning: the Mother of the Universe. This is not just a historical text. This is a prayer to be read aloud. It is an epic poem, a true song of praise that should echo through the days of our lives. Listen carefully and you will feel the spirit within. This is a Devi Mahatmyam for our time.
Collectivity is a thing to be understood in a much deeper way than we have thought. Collectivity is the nature of a Sahaja Yogi. It is to be grown within you. Collectivity is the place where you belong.
Composed from the words of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, this book tells us that the Spirit is the only eternal thing within us. All the rest are transitory and evolutionary. This is the true quest of our lives, the goal that we seek, the home for which we yearn.

"We ask ere you leave us that you speak to us and give us of your truth. Tell us of love, of marriage, of children, of joy and sorrow. Tell us of Self-knowledge." And the Prophet replied.
