To whom does Mataji (Mother Goddess) appear? It is to the one who becomes natural and spontaneous [sahaj swabhavi]. Mataji is said to have come if the mind, speech and the body become naturally blissful. It can be said that the natural spontaneous energies (adhya shakti) have arisen.

Accept only as much ‘cleanliness’ that it won't cause you to worry if it became dirty. Maintain ‘cleanliness’ such that and only to the point that it does not burden you into bondage.

Spontaneous and natural (sahajik) speech means there is not an iota of ego in it.

Union with [True] Knowledge is ‘Principle’ [Established Truth] and union with the three [mind, speech and body] is ‘non principle’ [absence of principle].

He whose speech, behavior and humility captivates people’s minds, becomes worthy of worship by people.

In fact, without renunciation (tyaag), nothing [no spiritual development] can happen. Renunciation of what? Complete renunciation of illusion (bhranti)! Complete renunciation of the ego (ahamkar)!! Complete renunciation of the my-ness (mamata)!!!

The One whose ego (ahamkar) and my-ness (mamata) go away completely, is considered a complete tyaagi (one who has renounced worldly life). 

Birth and death are not of the Soul (Atma). The Soul is a permanent element. This birth and death are of the egoism. 

In renunciation, egoism is present; [but] there is no egoism in saiyam (a state in which there is absence of anger, pride, deceit, greed and attachment-abhorence).
