Soul-searching is important

Soul-searching is important to see, why am I so friendly with such and such person? If you think that you are friendly with such and such person for some other purpose, like somebody might say that, ' Oh, I am all right, because I am working with her,' or something like that, but why interested?


Because soul-searching is very important in these countries specially, because here there is no norms about how you behave with other women. So we have to be absolutely free as I said with each other in the sense like that brothers and sisters are.


And whatever are the limitations of a woman must be observed, like you see, say, if My brother is sitting with Me, I cannot watch a romantic picture. Cannot. If My daughters are there, My husband will not sit there to watch a romantic picture. It's very subtle.


With the brother you won't discuss something, normally, say about sex or about things like that, because it is such a private thing that you can only have this with your husband.


So, if he is a brother and you find him that he is trying to attract the person in a way that you should not, then you have to place yourself, against yourself, and see for your sake, why you are doing it? It's such a frivolous, nonsense thing, it's a joyless pursuit! So why should I do it?


Once you understand the importance that Sahaja Yoga, you can only achieve your ascent through purity. There's no other way round. Anything which is hanging on to you, will keep you down. And whatever you go, start dropping it out, whether it is ego, superego, anything.


But the highest of all is the purity of your mind as far as the sex is concerned. I will give it the highest part. That's what we call as innocence. That's the only thing that will take you ahead. And so we all should try to search our souls.

Start writing diaries

Now there are two types of attention we have to pay. First is the constant attention that is the routine of a Sahaja Yogi and the second one is the emergency attention.


I have been seeing that all the Sahaja Yogis must start writing their diaries – one with everyday’s experiences. If you know that you have to write a diary, you will keep your mind alert and another one wherever you get any special idea of the past or of the future also to jot it down.


So like that you should have two diaries.For your constant attention you have to fix up your mind on certain facts. The first one, as I said that, if you keep a diary then you will know that you have to remember what important things have happened.


So, your attention will be alert and you will be looking out for such points where what is the things you see. And you will be amazed if you make your attention alert, what new things come to you.


Very brilliant ideas and the miracles of life and the miracles of God’s beauty and His auspiciousness, His greatness, His kindness, His blessings. How to work out if you start writing everyday even a two lines about it which will make your mind constantly involved within. That’s a human style of doing things.


Also you can mention in the diary, what happened with you? Could you do your meditation? Did you get your time for meditation or not. A little bit as if you are appearing for some sort of a examination or something prepare a little note like that. Did I get up in the morning? Did I?


Then any special path or any special movement in the centre or left or right also should be mentioned, so that you keep a watch on your mind. It’s a very good thing to maintain a diary.


Also you will keep progressively how your ideas are changed? How new priorities are settling down? How you give more importance to real things and very little to unreal things. I think this is a very-very practical side of human beings that one should have a diary.


Same diaries after sometimes will become historical things and people would like to see what you all have written, not to be hypocritical about it or deceptive about it but quite truthful and understanding you should jot down few lines just before sleeping.

The testimony of truth

The second Statute is that you have to stand on your own legs and know that you are here, one with the truth, the testimony, the testimony of the truth: that you have seen the truth, you know what truth is, and you cannot compromise with falsehood, you cannot.




For that you need not harm anyone, you have to just profess it. You have to stand up and say that you have seen the truth and this is the truth, and you have to be one with it, so that people see that light of truth in you and they accept you.




Its not for telling others that: 'You have to be truthful, and this is the truth we have seen, that this is what God's laws are, how they work out. Through vibratory awareness we have been able to see this is the truth.' But be completely confident about it. But for that, first of all you must test yourself completely, otherwise you might be playing into the hands of ego. It happens with many people who start doing Sahaja Yoga, to begin with.




So be cautious, be sure that you are telling the truth and nothing else, and that you have felt the truth in full ways.Those who have not felt any vibrations, shouldn’t talk of Sahaja Yoga at all; they have no authority.




They have to receive vibrations, they have to fully imbibe within them, and then they can say: "Yes, we felt." This is a very important task Sahaja Yogis have to do in these modern times, is to tell aloud that they have found the truth. That part is very weak.




In whatever way you like: you can write books, you can announce it, you can talk to your friends, to your relations and everywhere. Tell them that this is the truth now, that you have entered into the kingdom of God; that you are blessed by the Grace of God, that you are realized souls, that you have felt the Divine power which is pervading everywhere, and that you can give Realizations to others. This you have to tell others, and know that by your accepting truth you are not adding anything to the truth, but you are adorning yourself.




One requires courage to enjoy the truth. Sometimes people will laugh at you, will mock at you, may persecute also; but that should not be any worry to you, because your relationship is with the Statutes and with the Grace of God.




When that is your connection, you should not worry about other people, what they have to say about it. You have to stand up, adorn yourself with that truth and talk to people, that people will know that you have found it. With that authenticity with which you speak, people will know that you have found it.




The difference between a realized soul and a non-realized soul is basically this: he doesn’t talk of his woes and his separation with God, but he says: 'I have found it now, this is it.' Like Christ said: 'I am the Light, I am the Path'. Or anybody else can say that, but you can make out that it is not true.




With the confidence, with that complete understanding coming out of your heart, people can make out this is absolute truth. And then all kinds of falsehood must be denounced. Doesn't matter if somebody feels bad, because by telling that you are saving them, and not harming them; but must be told in a correct way, not in a frivolous way.




In a very persuasive way, you must tell them that: 'No, this is wrong'. You must wait for the time when you can tell people, more in confidence. Talk to them: 'This is wrong, this is wrong, you don't know. We've done the same thing.'




This is how you are going to express your principle of mastery, or you can say Guru tattwa. You have to be truthful: first, foremost thing is that you should know the truth, you should stand this testimony, and that you should announce it.

Sahaja yogis have to be truthful

Today is your new year. I wish you all the best. And I want you to take a resolution that from today onwards we will not tell lies. Never ever will you tell lies. I have been to places across the world and I learnt that Indians are infamous everywhere as great liars.

I do not understand why such brandings have come upon our country that people are liars. Here we had so many great saints and prophets, where so many became Sufis. I wonder how people could speak so many lies here.





So you promise today that you will not tell lies whatever may be the consequences. For that, you need courage. But now that you are realized, what more courage do you need? You cannot lie. And when you become like this, then only people will have faith in you, that these people are truthful.





So the Sahaja yogis have to be truthful. In whatever occupation- may be in business or whatever, he may be an engineer constructing roads or a doctor treating people- in spite of all these, yet it will be hell for you if you still lie. Now you have transformed your own self, now that you are realized now.





So the realized people, if they ever lie, they can never derive any benefit out of it. I feel sad when I hear about our country abroad, that people of this country are great frauds, great liars and earn money by illegal means.





Today is your very auspicious day. Today you should all take an oath that we will never ever lie whatever may come. I, Myself am a woman and that too of India, I have never told a lie. By lying you only would be at a loss. By deceitful actions you only will be at a loss. By all these means, even if you afford to earn a little more or you pursue petty objectives by feigning, yet you can never go to heaven. You will land up in hell.





It is very important to know that there is a very bad reputation about our country across the world. Why is there a bad reputation? Because we have such type of people here. When you come to know that someone is a liar, you must form a committee and approach him to enquire, “Hello Mister, what is the matter?”




For example, supposing a road is constructed that has not been constructed properly, then set up an inquiry to investigate the expenditure incurred and then be after them to see what they are doing about it.





Earning such money illegally will ultimately be used for consuming alcohol only, which is our enemy. Why do you want all this? You have a very good living standard, but there are many countries where people are poor, yet I found them to be honest. So honesty is the first thing.





Today it should be ensured that we shall not commit dishonesty any more. Also we shall not be in the company of dishonest people and if anyone commits dishonesty, we will report it. Now it is like this: people complain. “Mother, similar incidents prevail in the police force” or “Such cases are reported there also.”





But you are Sahaja Yogis. Those who are Sahaja Yogis are by no means any less than a policeman or any person with a high position. They may possess great powers within them, but the entire powers are of truth only. Truthfulness should be there. I am very glad that a lot of Sahaja Yogis are very truthful, but we still need more Sahaja Yogis who can become truthful.

There must some reason why you are here

So today we have to decide that, as the children of Adi Shakti, we have to go all out,everywhere, every corner, we have to shout and we have to tell loudly what is the time inwhich you are living, and what is the responsibility that you have to fulfill as Sahaja yogis.




There must be some reason why you are here.




Like in the beginning, Sahaja yogis used to ask Me, “Mother, was I this last life, was I Shivaji last life?” I said, “What is the use? You might have been anything, but what you are today is much higher.”





Try to understand. You might be, say Napoleon, you might be say, one of the kings , or may be one of thequeens somewhere. So what! What did they do? Did they raise anybody’s kundalini?Did they have any power? Even the disciples of Christ or even Mohammed Sahib’sdisciples, could anyone do it? Did they have any understanding of kundalini? Didthey have any love for others, that they should give them realization?




There were some Sufis, they never gave realization to anyone. There were so many saints who never gaverealization to anybody. Mohammed Sahib never gave realization to anybody. GautamaBuddha never gave realization to anybody. Think of it, Christ never gave realization toanybody. Anybody!! Krishna did not do it, Rama did not.




Nobody but you can do it!! You can do it and you know everything about kundalini.




It’s a very big thing because you are children of the Adi Shakti. You are here and your Mother is here. It’s a very, very fortunate thing for Me that you are here. I’m very proud of you, but again and again Ihave to tell you that the work has to be with a faster speed. We have to move with a fasterspeed and get more people to Sahaja Yoga”.

Compassion and Love of Adi Shakti

Now the problem of this Adi Shakti is this, that I decided, that I will have all of you enter into My body, absorb all of you. It is a very dangerous game, I know, but I did play because I am supposed to do it, at this stage of time that I should absorb you, all in My body. So with you, all your problems have also gone into Me, all your troubles have also gone into Me.




But by absorbing it, see, it’s like the ocean to which you have put and you are cleansed, but what about the ocean? Ocean has still got your problems and things lingering and they are very troublesome.





So the best thing would be for you to cleanse yourself. Cleansing is very important through introspection. But it doesn’t mean thinking, it never means thinking. But introspection means meditation and that you all should meditate.



I must tell you we had a meeting of the leaders and they came out and sat in the drawing room. As soon as they had assembled, I had such a severe pain in the stomach and I had such a bad diarrhea that you cannot believe. Now who had got those problems, I don’t know. But as a Mother I don’t mind anything, as long as you all get well and purified.




Just like as the Mother Earth cares for you, I also care for you. And just like as the Mother Earth loves you, I also love you, whether you are good or bad, it is not the point. But to be kind to me, if you could try to be really good Sahaja Yogis, not the show-offs, not business like, not only thinking type, not argumentative, not criticizing others, if you just try to meditate every day 10 to 15 minutes, I tell you, my health will be first class.




Because I have taken your injections inside and they start torturing my life for nothing at all. You see so now it is a risk I have run and I am sure you are all very sensible people and you will understand that your Mother shouldn’t suffer.




This is everyday crucifixion for me sometimes you know and I don’t know what to say, for example, the other day in Delhi, one gentleman, who is a leader, came to me, to see me, and my one foot started going like that, and paining so much. I mean, I didn’t know what to tell him- that you get out now?




Because I just cannot hurt him but I said, “ what’s the matter, where have you been, what did you do?” so he realized and he went out and really it improved. Nearness also, I think, has an effect, because if a man like that, or a lady like that, is full of problems and she comes very closer to my attention, then I have to take up the cross – it’s like this.

Become like lotuses

If the sprit has to evolve, we have to be extremely witnessing in a full way, very alert, extremely alert and witnessing ourselves, what are we doing. Then only will we reach the completion of our Realization. Unless and until you reach the completion of your Realization, you can never be masters of your attention and you can never be the enjoyer of your joy and you can never know the truth fully.




To achieve this Sat-Chit-Ananda swarupa, you have to be extremely careful about the instrument that God has given you- this body, mind and emotions. You have to keep them in check because, wherever your habits are, they can never be joy-giving. It’s a joyless pursuit. And wherever your ego is, it’s a destructive effort.




So what things are detrimental to your growth? Apart from that, they are extremely dangerous thing for yogis.



So as you are, in whatever conditions you are, in whatever situations you are, whatever may be the surroundings, like a dirty mire full of creatures and filth, you can become like lotuses. When you become like lotuses, all that is filth, all that is horrible can become fragrant. And this is what we have to achieve.




When people will see the lotuses, they’ll come to you, not to see the worms and to see the filth, but to see the lotuses. So please, this time, correct yourself. You don’t need anybody to correct you. You just correct yourself, watch out for yourself and see for yourself. If something doesn’t work out, just give up. Don’t go to extremes for anything. You must learn to give up at a point and be happy about it.



If you are contained within yourself, if your hand is attached to your body, then you reach up to a point and then leave it. But if it is not attached, if it is disintegrated, then it goes all round and round and comes back without anything. That understanding has to be there in you people because you’re standing in the central path and you’re attached to the central path not only, but you are identified with it. So you cannot go too far to the left, cannot go too far to the right. If you do that, you get lost. Then you are no more a Sahaja Yogi and then no use having here artificially or superficially because it will be hypocrisy.

Be careful sun may scorch with its heat

Today is a day for us to celebrate in India very much, because the Sun moves down to Capricorn and from Capricorn it then comes to Tropic of Cancer. When the Sun comes back to this Earth, then all the creativity of the Mother Earth starts acting and She creates such beautiful things like flowers, nice nourishing things and fulfilling things like fruits. She makes our eyes cool down with the greenery She has and the way She blesses us is manifold with the advent of the sun.




In the same way, now that the Sun of Sahaja Yoga has risen and is coming to the zenith and it has definitely shown you the result on the Earth principle that is your Mooladhara and your creative power of that Mooladhara which is the Kundalini, has been rising and rising and rising and opening your being and showing the results in your lives which has made your lives very beautiful. It has made your life very joyous and very happy.



Now we are at a point where we have to trigger a new jump, a new flight. And for this flight, we have to see that we really become very light in our ideas, thoughts and conditionings. You are so much full of conditionings. All types of conditionings are on us. They are so deep that sometimes I fail to understand human beings.



I just don’t understand how we get stuck to things which are of no value, which are of no sense, and they get lost. In this higher jump, which you are going to take, many will left behind as a result, those who will not be able to come out of that. So at this stage, I have to request you that you should really fully dedicate yourself to meditation, and surrender yourself to collectivity. Everyday, you must think in evening what have I done for Sahaja Yoga? What have I done for myself?




Please try to understand that there’s a very big jump you have to take. It has to be triggered and for that I would like you to be ready. To be absolutely prepared because in this jump you might be lost, and many might be left behind because they could not get over their conditionings.




The conditionings are of various types- of ignorance, blind faith and all other things that we have gone through. Also we have conditionings of our country, of our race, of our styles and so many other things by which we judge others. But we have to judge ourselves, that are we in a Sahaja culture or not?




If you are not in Sahaja Culture than it’s going to be very difficult that you board the ship which is going to take us off. I have to just warn you that later on you should not say that Mother so many were left behind! If you find anybody left behind, please try to help that person. Please try to correct that person and with clear idea and clear voice and clear cut instructions.



If you really find that somebody is going wrong, you better warn him. I’m telling you all today because you will be departing. You have to tell your fellow men that this is a very crucial time and none of us should just take for granted Sahaja Yoga.



All other things are just a kind of an illusion that you feel that your worldly things are alright, and worldly things you can manage; God doesn’t care for people who are rich and well-off or people who are poor. What He sees is what richness you have got of spirituality. He doesn’t bother about your education, of your degrees, of pompousness etc.



What He sees is how innocent you are. How much you have worked for Sahaja Yoga? What you have done for God’s work? So all these priorities have to be changed, and one must understand that Sahaja Yoga judges you on a very subtle level. So in this last judgment now as you people have been judged as good people. But still for the second jump that you are going to have, we have to be very careful that, may be, some of you who think you are Sahaja Yogis in your heart but are not may be left behind in this big jump we are going to take.




So it is important that the Sun has risen and now gone to the zenith, and at the time of its zenith, one has to be careful because the same sun which has started making this beautiful greenery all round us may scorch with its heat. So be careful, and one has to be aware and all the time under the guidance of Sahaja Yoga to understand what is wrong with us, what is making us so heavy, what is making us so difficult?

Solution to a problem

The word problem, specially in the European community problem is a very common word. But in the English language we never heard this word, problem. You see the problem was used when we were studying geometry; geometrical problem.





But, we never knew there is a problem in life. Later on, when I came in contact with European community, they will say there is no problem, this is the problem. At least, in one day, 100 times they say problem word.




So, for a problem the solution is not to have that thing which gives you problem. You can give up anything. Anything that you want you can give up, if you know how to detach yourself from that. Many people come and tell me Mother, we have an ego, that is the problem. I said, then give up. I mean it’s simple. Why do you have it? As if you see they want to say that we have a trouble with this thing but still we are clinging on to it.




Like we are afraid of a crocodile but we want to put our foot into the mouth of the crocodile and we have a problem that our foot will be eaten up by the crocodile. Now give up. But they will search out the crocodile. Open the mouth and put the foot in it and then come to me and say Mother, we have a problem. My foot is in the mouth of the crocodile.



To get to problems you have to get to it. But without getting to it how will you get a problem.





Say for example people have very silly stupid problems. Now the first problem somebody may have oh, I have to get my clothes pressed. What’s the need? No problem, Wear them as they are. Who looks at you? You see there are all the people who have pressed clothes, does not matter, what’s there if it is not pressed. It’s a problem for them, is silly things like that. You see very silly things. But the greatest problem I think you have is your watch. In Switzerland, I shouldn’t say so.

If you’re deceiving yourself, then how can you become a guru"?

"Now your job is to give them Self-realization and change the people. That’s the real thing you have to do as gurus. But what are we doing? We come to Sahaja Yoga with what idea?




We are working only on the periphery. Firstly we are worried about ourselves, how we can prosper, how can we become better off. Also there is greed. We do not see ourselves if we are aggressive, if we are trying to trouble others, if we have wrong ideas about ourself, how we torture others.



So first of all you have to cleanse yourself and accept your own problems, your own misgivings – these are to be faced. And challenge yourself: what are you doing? You are a Sahaja yogi, how can you hate someone, how can you trouble someone, how can you torture someone?



This is the beginning of introspection, it’s very important. I can make out a person who meditates in the real sense of the word, and the one who just meditates. You should not deceive yourself. If you’re deceiving yourself, then how can you become a guru"?


(H.H.Shri Mataji, Guru Puja, Cabella-08.07. 2001).

Best thing is to introspect

It is a drama, as I told you, but you better study it properly and apply it to yourself and see if you are also a part-and-parcel of that drama. For that you have to rise higher, you have to rise higher, higher above your ego and your super ego, your conditioning and from there to watch yourself, to see yourself.





What is this?


Why am I doing such and such thing?


Why my attention is like that?


What is the main reason for my own possession, I should say, or for my own misunderstanding?


Why do I accept wrong things?




Once you start seeing that, and if you find even a wee bit of such nonsensical understanding within you then you can forgive also people who have been absolutely brainwashed, absolutely brainwashed and they did everything under that influence. As it is now you have risen much higher than all these people and much more aware than all of them.





So you have to just understand this point and then you can forgive all the mistakes they have committed. And for the people who are actually bad you don’t have to worry, that’s the work of the Divine Power to destroy them. Watch yourself and see for yourself if you have any of such ideas, any lingering either.




Try to cleanse the mirror so that you see your complete image and try, look at, then try to cleanse it. It’s very important that you should cleanse yourself.





There are people who have done lots of wrong things. I simply pity them. They have done wrong things; it is their responsibility to see what they have been doing. Why they have been doing it? What is the need do that? All this introspection will work out so well, then your real power will come, your powers of giving realization, your powers to understand the problems of your country, of the world.




And once you feel that you are the soldier to fight it out, you have the responsibility to fight it out, then things will work out. You cannot leave everything to Divine Power. You have to use the Divine Power and you have to work it out because you are the soldier of Divine. Off-course, with that beautiful idea you start cleansing yourself.





You need not know everything as to what things are happening and how they are happening, how they are working. That’s not your work. You are a soldier, so you have to just fight, fight the ignorance, your own and of others because soldiers fail when they have their ego.





When they fail they have other obstacles in their minds. There should be no obstacle but you should just push forward and know that there is no obstacle at all. It’s just a myth that there are some obstacles and that you can overcome.





It’s not easy to raise the awareness of people because it looks there’s a very little distance of crossing over but it’s not so. It is a very difficult task sometimes for some people to get out of the bandhans of Agnya. At that point, I find, some of you fail and for that the best thing is to introspect. When you think you are always correct and you are alright, the best is to introspect.



Am I doing everything right or not?


How am I working for my betterment?





The illusion is such that sometimes you think you are doing well. Say, in Sahaja Yoga some people are very forward type; they will come forward, they will do this, do that, but inside what is the purpose? The purpose is that people should see that you are doing this work, that work. The purpose should be that you should be able to see yourself within. You must see what is the problem inside and you will very well understand that you have been of great help to yourself and to others.

Vibrations can be misleading

The knowledge as I told you, pure knowledge is that which gives you a pure light. Pure light means pure vibrations.




Now vibrations can be misleading as I told you, or could be the quantity of vibrations can be less or more. There is another way.





It is to see for yourself why do you want to do a particular thing? Mentally also you can use parameter of mental understanding.


Why do I want to do it?
What is the gain for all the people?



If you start thinking from that angle, what is the gain for others, what will they gain by this, why should I do it, you will be amazed, you will get the real picture of what you are doing.



So you must keep yourself all the time in a state where you witness yourself, you see yourself that why I am doing this. What is the purpose? Sometimes could be some conditioning, could be some sort of psychological thing, could be anything. But if you start watching carefully, why I am doing it, you will be amazed that your vibration itself will start telling you on your finger tips.





But sometimes, the vibrations are so superficially coming, Ah, I got the vibrations, I am this, I am that! What is the reason, why I am saying again and again though you are such a nice family of mine and you are also much blessed and we have so much of knowledge with us? We should be very wise. If there is no wisdom, we can never understand what we are doing.

Never to be dishonest

Today so many of you have gathered here. I never had seen so many in Delhi before. Thus, every one of you should decide today in your mind that we will not tolerate any dishonest person at all.




And that is the reason why all the rakshasas also take their birth- because they believe something or other is there within us, which will compel us to accept them. Indians should never accept them. And besides, those who are realized souls, especially they should never.





There is a great infamy on our country everywhere. But this is not true. There are many people in India who are honest-very honest. But that is not true. Nevertheless, I have seen certain things. There will be differences amongst each other-“This land is mine and that land is yours.” Well whatever is yours is yours. It is swarajya- that is, the rajya of the swa. You will have the kingdom of your Self. It can happen only when you really become swatantra in the true sense. There is no need to be afraid of any one. There is no need to tell anything to anyone.




I am surprised to see so many people. I had never seen so many people in Delhi before. Thus, I have only one request to you and that is today, on this occasion of a very auspicious day, decide that we shall never commit dishonesty even if we have to die. Our country has deteriorated a lot in the last ten years. You are Sahaja Yogis in so many numbers. Who are all afraid of?




What is the reason behind getting scared? God is there to support everyone from behind. Just imagine, as soon as the Sufis realized that God was behind them, they got rid of all those unwanted things that were around them- not all, but a few of them. Similarly, you should all follow them.





In My opinion, the only message for today is that now you are neither a cheat yourself, nor going to support any cheat. But I read in the newspapers the differences are over other types of issues. The differences are over the caste and creed. Well Mister, are you here for protecting the country or to sink it deep down? You have a great responsibility on you. You are born in the Kali Yuga. That is why this Kali Yuga is to be transformed and you are all realized in the thousands. Nowhere else on Earth have so many people been realized. That is why time and again I shall be repeating to you to stand on truth. I am with you. And God is also with you.




So I have a request to you all today to assert within yourself that we shall not encourage or allow any offences like cheating or stealing to happen. Wherever we come to know of it, we will fight it out. But I wonder whether the people have been intoxicated under the influence of alcohol or what? After all, what did you receive from this light? Courage- fight with more courage. Whatever things that are wrong with this country should be forsaken. It has earned a very bad reputation.




There are many more issues, but the most important one is that there is no honesty at all, so how God is going to help you out? To get money is no kind of support from God, but to be established in dharma is. And that is what you have got. There aren’t as many people who are Sahaja Yogis here, anywhere else in the world. And Sahaja Yogis are never involved in such activities too. But I am telling you all this because the atmosphere here is bad and we have earned such a bad name all over.




You have everything with you. You have food to eat and drink, clothes to wear. What else do you need? You enjoy movies, you enjoy that, you do have that much money. But first of all, the disease for the money should be got rid of.




I have full faith in you that you will carefully listen to My lecture of today. And let us swear from today itself that we shall not commit dishonesty at all, but will also oppose those who commit dishonesty. The most important message that is to be understood is our country needs honesty today. Nothing is more important than that. Your Mother stands for honesty.




So what if you have only one shirt instead of ten? Convey these things similarly to the women also. It will work out. It will happen.




Today’s speech is a little bit different. It is unique. And you all have liked it. It was very kind of you.

Well then, thank you.

To hate is worst quality

To me, it is very painful to think that we human beings, we hate others, when you know that love is such an overwhelming, beautiful feeling. But why then do you take to hatred? Because people have impressed you, they have told you lies, that’s why you hate. What an achievement! First to be a human being, and then to be a person full of hatred! Now what will be the next, I don’t know!





It was alright in those days for the Goddess to kill. The Goddess used to kill all such people .It’s a very sad feeling that God has created human beings from amoeba to this stage, and how can we hate someone? And this is what has happened!





Now of course Sahaja is different. Sahajis know how to enjoy the Love. They like it. They enjoy it. You can see that. And if somehow, you people could manage to remove this hatred – somehow, somehow – with your own will-power – denying and defying all that is being told to human beings, I am sure It’s a very difficult world where those people who came on this earth went through all kinds of education, wanted to improve the conditions, the relationships, friendships, have fallen into the depths of hatred.






My heart just weeps. At what time I have come on this earth, where I have to see human beings hating each other! They talk of ‘love’ and ‘hate’. It’s a very serious thing, that you who are the children of God, they’ll end up like this I mean, I have experiences that if I tell you you’ll be shocked. How people have fallen down to the depth of evil nature.





It’s an understanding we have, to have understanding about ourselves: Do we hate somebody? Do we get ideas that we shouldn’t have, or do things? Do you have such things in you? Just find out! Do you hate other people?




These ideas are rotten, absolutely, for the human mind. The ideas which are completely like the animals instinct, are absolutely no good for human beings at all. But that is what is happening, and it’s coming forward. If you are poor, alright, but by hating you don’t become rich, no. If you are in any difficulties, then your duty is to remove those difficulties, but not to prosper on them. All this has to finish. It is very surprising that we are not bothered at all as to what we are doing. Yes, you have to have proper sense of understanding: where are we going? If you have misunderstanding about somebody, better take it out, completely. They try to trouble you, alright. But don’t have bad understanding about that person. Very surprising that we never see those things, how ugly they are, and how funny they are, how they ruin our personality!






You may be able to correct some people. All our activities as Sahaja Yogis, I never realised were so important! We have to give so much time. Not to bother about nonsensical, frivolous things, but something serious that is within us or without, that must be taken out. If I ask you, ‘How many people you hate?’ You may say just ’20 people’ and you see the whole atmosphere in all this fills me with such remorse that I just don’t know what are we going to do, the Sahaja Yogis! What are their plans? Will you please look into yourself and think what constructive work we are doing and what destructive work we have been doing. You need a big shock to understand this.





I like the way we have programmes and Pujas and all that, but if you ask My Inner Being, I know it is very, very unhappy, very sick. At this time, what you have to do as Sahaja Yogis? As Sahaja Yogis, minimum of minimum you should put full attention and then you have to tell everybody. You see the trouble with Sahaja Yoga is that you all start enjoying yourself, and then you don’t see around what is happening.




Now I must tell you, I am now in the midst of war between myth and reality. Is it an area, is it a – I don’t know what should I say – is it within us there is still lurking some kind of a weakness that we do not try to fight our weakness. I would now request you all to meditate on yourself, and see for yourself what is wrong.



It’s a big shock, and to reduce this shock, what can Sahaja Yogis do? What can they work it out to blast these so horrible ways of human life? It’s possible with the Power of Love – you can manage! But we must develop that power in our hearts. Think of it! It’s a big lesson now for all of us, to see for ourselves – are we alright? Or we go on hating others? What is the function of our mind, is to hate or to love? And this love, if it enlightens you, you will be amazed, you will be such a big force for Me. I cannot fight the whole thing alone. I have to have people who really develop their love – and nothing else! That is one of the challenges now for all of us, for all the Sahaja Yogis all over the world. It’s not only the fight between believers and non-believers, not only the fight between Sahaja Yogis and non-Sahaja Yogis, but this is a fight where we are all one and we are going to fight it out. At every stage we have to be much more subtler.





It is very, very essential to see to the point today – are we also part and parcel of that evil thing that is working out? Or are we free from that, and prepared to fight it? It’s a big fight and I hope it is conclusive! After this there will be no more of cruelties to human beings, no more fights, because this is a fight between the rakshasas and ourselves. It is not ‘ordinary’. And this has to be explained, also to those who are supportive of evil forces. Only thing, you can say ‘Mother how are we to know who is against and who is not?’ You are knowledgeable; you are Sahaja Yogis, you know who is on the wrong side. I know Sahaja Yogis can save, and can bring them to the right path of knowledge and love. But – be very careful with the propaganda of evil that is going on.





I want to touch the deepest part of your heart, which should reconcile. I am sure you all will understand the magnitude of danger that awaits! Maybe there may not be any human beings left, maybe there may not be any children left. Because if this kind of thing is working out, it is very difficult, very difficult. My whole existence gets shaky, gets shaken up. You all should see in every nook and corner of life: Where is this talk going on? Where are people talking of cruelty? What’s happening? Whatever I think, it’s not one, it’s not two, it’s all of us.






The fight that I am having is of a very serious nature, no doubt. But if you all can fight collectively, how much we can work it out! All my efforts, understandings, powers, everything is now in your hands, and that’s what you should be prepared for. Not by just reading something or talking about it, you have to build up within yourself the ‘power of love’.





I am sure with the opening of the Sahasrara you will do that. But try to read something, to understand something, with the Power of Love. It’s a very deep subject, and when you talk about it, half-way I’m inside, half-way outside. But I have to tell you that you all develop this, and only that will form a very strong opposition to these ‘evil doers’ as they call it.





My complete blessings are on you, and I want all of you to individually work it out. How many people you love, how many people? This you have to find out.





I hope you people have understood what I want you to do. A new generation is coming up. All of you, all of you, are in My Heart, and I love you very much, and I want you people to come as soldiers to fight with Me. I am also told that there are some people who are forming groups – extremely negative attitude! At this time what we need is complete solidarity. So all such people whom you see, tell them to behave themselves! No use making them Sahaja Yogis.





I am sure – it’s really heartfelt – desire of mine that you should become really soldiers of love and peace. Because that is why you are here, you are born here for that. So enjoy yourself.




May God bless you.

Mother what do we do to be innocent?

So to be innocent, what will you do? People will say, Mother what do we do to be innocent? Firstly, you can see for yourself how your mind works, what does it do, how it reacts? This is what one has to watch, which I call as introspection.



What sort of plans your mind take to? What does it think is the best? In that thinking, the thought process, what is the most important way to look at yourself. The first and foremost is that you should know how you react. Is it an innocent reaction or it is a vindictive reaction?



It’s very easy to see yourself because now you are all Sahaja Yogis. You can see for yourself how is your reaction to any aggression on you or any kind of a trouble coming on you. How do you react to that? What is your behavior?



If you are a very powerful person then your behavior is that you are not bothered. You see it for yourself that is just a stupid thing people are doing to you, absolutely stupid and when they are doing stupid things, why should we bother about it, why should we our energy about it?


It comes to a point where their stupidity is found out in such a manner that all their lives and afterwards they are treated with contempt. People don’t even want to take their names, they don’t want to have their photographs, they don’t have to have anything to do with them.



At this time, at such a juncture what happens is the people who are crooks who are not innocent, who are against innocence, they start following them because it suits them better, it suits them to be aggressive, to be cunning and that’s how a new group is formed which we can call as satanic group and this satanic group also cannot do anything, anything what so ever to an innocent personality.



There’s a Sanskrit shloka like that “ Nainam Chhidyanti Shastrani”,for sprit- it cannot be killed by anyone “Nainam Dahayati Pavka”- no fire can burn it, “Na Chainam Kleid Yantapo, Na Shoshatey Maruta Maruta” is the air or what you can call, a wind, wind cannot also suck it. It is above all the nature which is trying to destroy.



But you will be amazed that nature understands, I told you nature is innocent. It understands and it acts at the right moment. Again the person who is aggressive, who is trying to malign or trouble innocent person. In this way we should know that we have to worship our innocence.

Wisdom

“So what you have to do is to - not to practice, I say, asceticism but to become an ascetic. Practicing means trouble. But if you just become an ascetic from within, then you don’t bother about these little, little things here and there.




But our style is still molded by outside world. If we haven’t got our own world then we are going as the fashion is. And once you start going with the fashion the wisdom disappears. I never tell anybody that you don’t have this fashion or that fashion or anything.




It’s your wisdom, which will teach you. Wisdom will teach you how to regulate yourself, because you have come here to ascend, to achieve a very special place in the realm of spirituality.




I must stress again on the power of wisdom. Before doing anything you should just appeal to your wisdom and find out if it is wise to be like that. With this practice you will reduce your temper. Absolutely. You will reduce your lust; you will reduce your guilt very much. Because once you start understanding that there is no wisdom in feeling guilty, your guilt will disappear.



Also the worst thing is that we have a great desire to have this, have that, and to indulge into all kinds of greed. This greed becomes zero as soon as you understand wisely that there is no need. Otherwise all the time you will be thinking about yourself, about your health, about your children, about your house, whatever is supposed to be yours.




But the death proves that nothing belongs to you. You have come alone and you have to go alone. This is the wisdom, which is to be imbibed. You cannot practice it. You cannot force it, but it’s to be imbibed through your spirituality.



Then the greatest thing that happens is the joy, joy of the dancing of Shri Ganesha. Like a child you see Him dancing, how joyous He feels and you also feel. In the same way a little child being born within you and you start behaving like a small child. Normally it has no sense of lust, greed, nothing. It knows how to share.



So this is the position, we say, that you become a Gana. The army of Shri Ganesha. They are Ganas. They are very powerful and they do all the work of the world. They live in this world, but all their source of energy is from the Divine. So Shri Ganesha is an Omkara.




He is the first created Deity by the Goddess, because He is auspiciousness. So first auspiciousness is created for our good. We are auspicious because of Shri Ganesha. Some people, if they are in the house, they create problems. They are always creating problems, out of nothing. They are not auspicious people.





Those who are peacemakers, those who are loving, are the ones who are blessed by Shri Ganesha. What is the wisdom in fighting? You should find out what is the wisdom in fighting? Why are you fighting? For what things? For small, small things. Things that you can yourself correct. Why should you fight? If you have a fighting nature that means Ganesha is against you. Your Ganesha is sleeping. That power is not with you. There is no wisdom in it”

What you have to know what you are

So, the resurrection has taken place, no doubt. Your hands are speaking, alright. I don’t want to give you any command or any kind of a fixed road that you have to follow. Now, you are free, because you are the light. When you are the light why should I tell you which way to go.






You know yourself that you have the light. So you follow yourself in a way that is an enlightened path, with your own light, not that somebody has to tell you- don’t do this, don’t do that, nothing of the kind. You will just weigh, if something is wrong, you will not do it. If you are doing it then know that you have to still rise above all this.







You are the Nabis that are described in the ‘Koran’. You are the one who are going to resurrect the whole world, you are the ones who are going to help the downtrodden people in filth of immorality.






Look at few of these people who were Sufis, who were very clean people, how they have been able to channalise other people into a better life. That is what you are. You have to channalise their lives, that’s your job.





Don’t think about what is happening, how the people are stupid, immoral, forget it. What you have to know what you are.

Don’t get upset, excited, nothing just laugh at it

So one should not worry as to what people react, what they say about you, what they think about you. You should just introspect and see for yourself. After some time, you don’t need even introspection.





It is a kind of state I am talking about, where Shri Krishna told Arjuna that: “I will not fight, so in between Me and My army, you have to select.” So Kaurava said: “We’ll take your army, you give us your army and we’ll strengthen our army.” But Arjuna said, “ I don’t want army, I want you, you don’t want to fight, it’s all right.” Because though He will be there in a witness state only, He won’t be fighting, but His power will act. He doesn’t have to fight, He doesn’t have to do anything, but His own power, which is outwardly silent, but will act and that is how we will win the war.





So this power of witnessing, you all should develop. Try to develop it, that when you are reacting, stop reaction, about everything.






You’ll be amazed, you will find yourself a very very powerful person, in the sense you’ll have no ambitions, you’ll have no desires, you’ll have no special fondness or anything. But just you’ll be witnessing the drama. It’s very interesting to witness also, because then you understand the humor behind everything, you understand the stupidity behind everything. You understand also how people have been so violent and you just laugh at it.





Don’t get upset, excited, nothing just laugh at it. After some time, you’ll be amazed, your witness state will increase and when in the collective all of you have that witness state, you can do wonders without doing anything, without saying anything, without acting. Only your presence itself can work it out. I don’t say that it will have effect on every one, no I can’t say, but most of the people. Any person who is in that state, he is the one who brings peace, he brings joy.

Krishna Puja, 16th August 1998, Cabella

You have to meditate on your own selves.

Now see, the attention is going inside and we are pushing it farther but it should happen spontaneously. The attention should develop the habit of going inwards by itself. I know that you have many questions to ask. We have a lot of confusion within us, there is no doubt about it. But the questions are very subtle. There is no end to it. Always, there is a question of rising above all this. Now, people say, ‘Mother, how can we rise above all this?’ Meditation.



What to say about meditation? You have to meditate on your own selves. You have to see your own selves, that, where is your brain going? And where are you going? Slowly you will get cleansed.





Today is of great importance. The incarnation of Shri Krishna has done a great deal of cleansing for us and He has helped us a lot. His coming on the earth made a lot of difference. The awakening of Kundalini has also gone smoothly on account of His blessings. Please try to look at yourselves. You should not be annoyed with yourselves and you should not be annoyed with others either. It will be very joyous. This is the Krishna Puja.

Kundalini is a Mother

So the power of Kundalini is absolute purity, auspiciousness, holiness, chastity, self-respect, pure love, detachment, concern, enlightened attention to give you joy, as every mother wants that her child should get the joy. Whichever way is possible, she’ll try to give joy to her children. In the same way, this Kundalini has only one power — how to give joy to Her own children and she does that. Supposing — I mean, I don’t know about modern mothers, but normally if I would go and say to My mother, “Teach Me how to be angry,” she will say, “You go and cut your nose.” If I tell her that, “Tell Me how to tell lies,” she’ll say, “Go and cut your tongue.” If I say, “Tell Me how to say bad things to others,” she’ll say take out your eyes is better.” All these ideas that we harbour within ourselves make a very big problem for Kundalini to enter into your attention.

Now, people always ask, “Mother, how are we to grow? What should we do?” That’s why I say introspection. There should be introspection. “What do I want in this life? I should be able to love many more people without any lust or greed or expectations.” All right. Then the floods of abstract love will flow. She gives you witness state. She gives you peace. How many things She has to give you by which you become so powerful, so very powerful. No one can trouble you.



She gives you security. She gives you peace. She gives you wisdom. But if you want to ask for stupidity, She cannot do it. It is impossible. She hasn’t got it with Her. So every Sahaja Yogi who has to grow, must know what is in store with you own Kundalini.
