Shivaji Maharaj a great soul

I have given you the statue of Shivaji Maharaj. He was another great soul. A great soul who had such principles, and such beautifying life in his language, in his attitude and everything. With all that, he was a very brave person.




Once you have this you will not deter from doing anything that is important. You will have no fear of anyone. You will not go round and round but you will know how to find the solution and how to work it out.




This will happen to you if you really know yourself. You will have such powers of courage. You will not be a dare devil but with wisdom. Courage and with wisdom you will have and that is what is your Self, which will give you lots of wisdom and lots of courage. It’s not a fighting spirit, it’s not a violent nature, it’s not a rude nature. But it is a very silent, beautiful, courageous attitude.

Faith and sincerity

Today my feelings are really full of joy, full of joy, because now I can see how things are happening, how one person can produce thousands and thousands of Sahaja Yogis.





I saw one miracle, I told once that one seed has all the thousand trees it is going to produce and when I saw a new technique of tissue culture, I was amazed that on one little seed there were so many little, little primules who had come out.



In the same way, you are all capable, and you all can do it, but what is needed is faith in yourself and also complete sincerity about Sahaja Yoga. If that happens today, you have really celebrated My Birthday. If you think that My Birthday's important, that for me very important is that everybody gets their spiritual birthday.

May God bless you.

Peace within

The first and foremost thing is we have no peace within our hearts. We talk of peace. I know of people who have got awards in peace, have no peace within their hearts, no peace at all. Unless and until we human beings have peace, there cannot be peace in the whole world. It is we who create wars. It is we who do all kinds of violence…. We ruin the possibility of people getting into the kingdom of God.



So peace can be only achieved by establishing peace in the hearts of the people. And that is only possible, if you achieve the state of thoughtless awareness. You remain in the present and there, where you’ll be amazed, you will be standing like a rock because you will have reality in your hand. You can work out the way you like.



Actually, I don’t work out anything whatsoever – really. You may say,” You do this and you do that.” I don’t. It’s the pramchaitanya which works it. In the same way, it will work for you also. But you must have faith in yourself and absolute faith in Sahaja Yoga- absolute. That’s the only way we can achieve this, that many, many, many people, most of the people of the whole world – I wouldn’t say all of them rather difficult to say that, but may be possible – should enter into the kingdom of God with us. That’s the most important thing, more than all these worldly things and more than all these nonsensical things….



That will take its own course. You don’t have to worry. That works out automatically. Only thing where you really need your own diversion or your own focusing is Sahaja Yoga, in and out.


If we really want peace on this Earth, if we want really progress for ourselves, if we want all kinds of physical, mental and emotional problem being solved, all for our good, why not we come to Sahaja Yoga, where we don’t have to do anything except for raising our kundalini, except for meditating for it for very little time and to achieve that state of joy?

Imagine if you have big balloon attached to you, how can you go deep down into the sea?

Thank you very much for all this celebration, for all these beautiful balloons. But looking at these balloons, we have to see, some of them who have lost their air completely. This is another problem we face in the West Because, to have ego, according to the western culture, is a very great achievement When we start living with our ego, I know, how one looks like. He really looks like a stupid fellow. When he talks, when he describes himself, you don't know where to look because we just feel like laughing at his stupidity. Ego is the outcome of stupidity. I don't know what to say, how to give a simile to ego because it is just bloated and makes you float in the air. When it bursts, you are down on the earth. But you are not down on the earth, the way a Sahaja Yogi should be - down to earth, but completely finished.


All your arrogance goes to waste. You can never understand Sahaja Yoga, if you have this ego in your head. I have known people who have this ego. They have come to Sahaja Yoga and still they think they know more than anybody else. To know about yourself, you have to go deep down and to go deep down you have to give up all this idea which makes you float in the air. Imagine if you have big balloon attached to you, how can you go deep down into the sea? You cannot. That kind of air which makes you float in the air, absolutely in an area of stupidity. Then you may think whatever you like about yourself, you can behave the way you like but what do you achieve? You achieve nothing out of it. Whatever you achieve, people are jealous of you, they want to harm you, you have no friends. Nobody cares for you and in Sahaja Yoga, people know who has got this problem.

What you want Joy or happiness.........

What I want, that my children should be beautiful people, when they enter into the 'Kingdom of God'. They should be respected as great saints, sages. More than anybody else, they are special people.



That's how they are to be educated. May be, I am very ambitious, you might say. But my ambitions are based on reality. I am sure I can achieve these. But you must develop that humility and understanding within yourself that we all have to improve, we have to be in the attention of the Mother. If she has to say something to us, we are not ,to feel hurt. If you feel hurt, then know that it is your ego. Beat yourself with shoes. Take it out, because it is not good. I cannot go on pampering your ego all the time till you are completely blasted off and then you come and tell me "Mother why didn't you tell me?"


For example, somebody asked me, he is in love with somebody and wants to marry her. I knew that the person was horrible and he should not marry that person and I said that, in a way, it's alright. I mean, I first was in a shock and I kept quite. I said, now how to say that, not to pamper his ego either, but to say. How to say that, no or yes. It was very difficult.



So, I said, all right as long as she makes you. happy, it's alright. Now the word happy, has double meaning. Happy means only your ego can be happy, not the spirit. It's joy. I did not use the word joy, I said happy. See I have to be clever about it. Now, if you had thought of it, why would Mother say happy, she should have said if it gives you joy. If I say joy then it's correct. But I said happy. I said it three or four times to him that, does it make you happy.


He said, "Yes". If it makes you happy then you can marry. Now see, if he is very intelligent, and he should have thought of it. But he never thought of it that I was meaning that it is not going to give you joy, if it gives you happiness, you marry. Happiness means your ego pampering, it's simple. Also you have to educate yourself to understand your Mother. This is the third thing, that you ought to know, is to understand your Mother. See I have to be clever. Because if I am not, if I am very blunt, you get blasted. If I am not, you are lost. So I have to be clever. And when I am clever, they call me Mahamaya. So at least, let me keep to one style, let me be a "Mahamaya".



Alright, accepted. But then you try to understand that if I tell you something, you just get absolutely annoyed and angry. And the people get lost. You see, they get lost. If you tell them don't do it, they get lost. If you say, do it, then they get lost, in any case, because they are doing a wrong thing.
