Sankranti means something new

Sankranti means that today there should be something new. The Kundalini has awakened within you, so as compared to what you were, you have become a new person.


But on the day of Sankranti you should know that you have to please the Goddess who is sitting within you. What should you do to make Her happy? Distribute sesame seeds and jaggery. This is for love. To increase the love for each other, we give sesame seeds and jaggery.


Today the Sun left its place and, in its northward movement, came towards us. At this moment we should be very thankful to the Sun. It is by the grace of the Sun that so many things take place in our country of which we are quite unaware. We should do namaskar to the Sun today and His power, His knowledge should come into us.


I would say that all of you have become realized and vibrations are flowing through you. Now you should make use of these vibrations, establish the Shakti within you, establish the peace within you and show the world that this power within is for us and we have to acquire it. Nurture this with your good qualities and truthful speech.


Today is special because the Sun is particularly benevolent towards us and we should thank Him for all this.


You have received a lot. There is more to come. You will get more. We should increase it.

Supreme Source of Love

Love is the message of Adi Shakti

Why did Adi Shakti create this world? Why did all this happen? Why don't we think why so much of love, so much of prosperity has been given to us? We never realize where are we and how much we have got.




It is not the money but the love and when you will understand we really love each other and there is no hatred, there is no revenge. Nothing. But just love and love and love, this is what is the message of today. We all have to be loving each other. We have to have all kinds of rituals but it is only expression of our love it is not just a ritual it is love.




When you have love of the Mother, how do we express? In the same way we have to know that today we have to promise that for us love is the most important. We should love. People don't even love in their own families. I am not talking to such people I know. They love their own families, their own village, their all surroundings, everywhere. But still the world is going on with wars, fighting and all kinds of trouble.




The whole world has to come up to love each other. There is no other solution but to love and in that love there is no selfishness but enjoyment and that enjoyment you should feel and give it to others. I'm sure you all Sahaja Yogis are doing that and you are seeing the mistakes of the others and not to get anybody into trouble.




Love is the message of Adi Shakti. Now you think about it one Adi Shakti created the whole world. How She must have done it? What She must have planned? How She must have organized it? It is not easy thing. Only because She loved.




Her love is the expression that you are all there and that is why to be one with Her one should learn to love. Of course in that you have to know that you should forgive. If you don't know how to forgive and find mistakes of other people, you won't help.




What is your now job is, is to see that you are loving, that there is no hatred for anyone. You don't think of hating someone or hitting somebody. This has to work out. I'm sure this will work out.

You cannot do harm to anyone

Again, I say you have to imbibe the Statutes. Lets see what are the Statutes.




First is, you do not harm anyone. First principle is that we are not to harm anyone. Animals do harm without knowing that they are doing harm. If you go near a snake, he'll bite. If a scorpion is there he can put his poison into your being.




[Human beings] are not to harm anyone; they can correct but not harm. So the principle of not harming was taken to a very, very.. to a point where reality disappeared. For example, when it was said 'Do not harm anyone', so people started saying: 'All right, we'll not harm mosquitoes, we'll not harm bugs. We'll not kill them.' And there are some people who are following religions in which they preserve mosquitoes and bugs. This is absurdity! Taking anything to absurdity cannot be reality.




First of all, we should not harm anyone who is walking in the path of God, the one who is a realized soul. He may be wrong, there may be some mistakes in him, still he needs correction; nobody's perfect as yet. So do not harm, always try to help.




Secondly, anybody who is a real seeker, he may be wrong, he might have gone to wrong gurus, he might have done wrong things; but have feelings, because you have been going on the wrong path yourself sometimes; you have been misled before, so have more sympathies.




That's why, if you have done mistakes, in a way is good because you have more sympathies for such people. Then you are not to harm human beings in any way. You are not to cause them any bodily harm, any emotional upsetting just for harm's sake; for correction its all right.

Detachment is purity, is innocence

The third thing for a guru in Sahaja Yoga has to do, is to develop detachment. Gradually you do develop it, because you find that unless and until you develop that detachment, you are not receiving vibrations in full way. All kinds of detachments have to be developed, means your priorities change.



Once your attention gets fixed up with your Spirit, the catch or the hold on things which are of no importance starts reducing by itself. For example, you have a father, you have a mother, you have a sister, this is a bigger problem in India.




Here you are over-detached, but in India people are very much involved in their own children, in their own: 'This is my son', and others are all orphans. Only your sons are the real children: your daughter, your sons. 'My daughter', 'I must do this for my son, for my father, mother' here also.




Two types of attachments are there, one through mohah, through involvement into them; that you want to do this for them and that for them, and give all the property to them, insurance for them, every sort of thing.




And another could be, the way we have here, that you hate your mother, you hate your father, you hate everyone. Both things are just the same.So a detachment must be developed. The detachment is that you are your father, you are your mother, you are everything, your Spirit is everything to you.




You have to enjoy only your Spirit, as everything. Then the detachment comes from there, and then you really do good to them by detaching, because you see the complete vision about them and about what is to be done. For example, people have also attachments to certain crazes. Human beings always become crazy after something, I mean it can be anything.




One has to understand there should be only one craze: is to be settled absolutely into your Spirit. All other crazes will disappear, because thats the greatest joy-giving thing, that's the most nourishing thing, that's the most beautiful thing. So the, all the other things fall off, you enjoy only that which is the source of all enjoyments.




So you get yourself attached to your Spirit: detachment starts working. Sometimes detachment is taken as a license for becoming dry to others, which is absurd. This is only human quality also: make everything ugly, whatever is beautiful. Actually, a person who is detached is the most beautiful person, is the extremely loving person, he's love.




Look at the flowers, they are detached. They are dying, tomorrow they are not going to live, but every minute they live, they are emitting fragrance to you. The trees are not attached to anything, they will die tomorrow, doesnt matter; but anybody who comes to them, they give shadow, they give fruits.



Attachment means death of love, complete death of love is attachment. For example, in a tree, say, the sap rises, goes to all the leaves, goes to all the necessary parts, all the flowers, all the fruits, and goes back to the Mother Earth. He is not attached to anyone. Supposing the sap goes and gets attached into one fruit. What will happen? The tree will die, and the fruit will die.




Detachment gives you the movement of your love, circulation of it.For things now, things have no value unless and until there are emotions behind it. Now for example, a sari, this one I am wearing today, was bought for Guru day, Guru Purnima, but they had no sari. The other day they wanted to have a sari for Puja, so I said: 'All right, use this.'




But I wore it again today, just to say that this was bought with that emotion that on a Guru day, Mother would like to wear something of a lighter shade: white, the pure color of silk, its complete detachment. But in white all the colors are mixed, then only it becomes white. In such a balance and unity it is, should be, that you become white, and whiter than snow.




Detachment is purity, is innocence. Innocence is such a light, I tell you, light that really blinds you to all that is filthy. You wouldnt even know that a person has come with bad intentions. You look at the person, you see, say somebody comes to you, you'll say: 'Oh, come along, what do you want?' You'll offer him tea and all that, and he'll say: 'I have come to rob you.'




'All right, rob me if you want to, its all right.' He may not at all rob you! That is what is innocence, which one can develop only through detachment. Detachment is of the attention. Do not allow your attention to get involved into something too much, even rituals of anything. ... If some mistakes are committed, what does it matter?




If you see on the abstract plane, it's love. This is just a step forward. Like somebody ran very fast and fell down before reaching me, and he said: 'Mother, sorry I fell down before reaching You, I should have not done that. But see how I prostrated before You!' Its complete poetry, detachment.




So one has to develop that detachment to be a guru, and that detachment doesn't mean sanyas or anything like that. Yes, sometimes one has to wear those dresses to announce, because if you have to do lot of work in a short time, then you have to take such intensive behavior, like Christ, we can say, Adi Shankaracharya.




All these people had a very, very short life, and in that short life they had to achieve such a tremendous task that they had to actually take a military uniform, just to avoid problems, not to impress others. Now-a-days people wear that dress just to impress others that they are detached, and do just the thing opposite of it.

Guru should not have much possessions

Then, for a guru, he should not accumulate things, he should not have possessions, much possessions with him. If he has possessions, they should be just for giving away. A guru must give away his possessions. He should not have stamp collection, and all kinds of collections that people go on.




Whatever things are useful, beautiful, which give happiness and joy to others, to their eyes: such things must be collected, such things which give the symbol to his life.




Very symbolic things he should have, which suggest that he is a dharmic person. He should not have things which are symbolic of adharmikta, of irreligious life. Everything that he has or he wears, or he shows, should be representative of his dharmikta.




I dont know what was the situation here [London], but in India, when we were young, we were not allowed to listen to all kinds of music, not allowed, just not allowed. Not to see all kinds of filthy things and filthy documentaries and things, not allowed.




Anything that is impure, giving bad vibrations should not be possessed, and even a, whatever you have, you should think whom you can give this. So it means you should have possessions to express your generosity.




Sahaja Yogi has to be generous like the sea. A miserly Sahaja Yogi, I cannot think of that, it is like mixing of darkness with light. Miserliness is not allowed in Sahaja Yoga. Anybody whose mind goes: 'How much I can save money, or save my labour'; how?




There are many labor-saving devices also, and money-saving devices. Or cheating others, or making money out of certain few things here and there: all such things are against Sahaja Yoga, they will pull you down. Enjoy your generosity! How many times I must have told you about generosity.




I remember once I wanted to give a sari that I had from abroad, you see, because in India people like that kind of a sari very much; though I mean, I dont understand why they like it, nylon sort of thing.




And a lady said that: 'I havent got any sari from outside and I would like to have one imported sari.' And I had only one left with me, because I am quite good at giving away. So I told one of my niece-in-laws, I said: 'I want to give away this sari to her. On a holy day we can give it to elders, so I'll give it.'




She said: 'You have only one left now, why do you want to give away? You have given away all you had." I said: 'Now, I feel like giving. I'll give away. And we were discussing this in the kitchen, you see, and I said: '' Why do you tell me? I am not going to take your advice on this point.' And at that time the bell rang and a gentleman came. He had brought three saris for me from Africa, and one of them was exactly the same as the one I had.




Because I had given some silk saris to this lady when she was going to Africa, she thought she should send Me some saris, so she sent. You are just standing in the center, from one door it comes and at the other door it goes. Its nice to see all that movement, its very interesting.Apart from that, the way you give it, you see, the emotional side of it is so beautiful, you cant imagine.




I met a lady after, say, twenty years of her married life, in London suddenly, and she said: 'Oh, what a coincidence!' I said: 'Why? 'You see, I'm wearing the same pearl necklace you had given me on my wedding day, today, and I should meet you! I mean, the whole thing, the whole drama changed, you know, that meeting. I mean it was something, nothing so great.




It is how you give even a small thing, its the greatest art of giving, one has to learn in Sahaja Yoga. Give up the mundane type of things, you see, like if you go to somebody's birthday, you send a card: 'Thank you very much.' Make it a more deeper, significant thing.




Let us see how you develop your symbols of love.And when you'll have these things of vibrations and then you'll give it to a Sahaja Yogi, he will know what it is. Never lack in generosity, specially amongst Sahaja Yogis. Gradually you'll be amazed how through small things you win over, as if the vibrations flow through those things and work out on those people.

Attached love is not truth

Attached love is not truth. If you are attached to somebody then you never see the bad points of that person. If you are angry with somebody then you can never see the good points of that person.



But its a complete detached love and that love is extremely powerful. Because whenever you project that love to anyone, you will be surprised, the problems of that person will be solved, his personality will improve, everything will work out in a very big way and his life will be changed.



But if you are attached to anything what so ever, that attachment itself causes problems and doesn't allow Sahaja to grow. This attachment could be any kind. For example you can be attached to your country, attached to your society, attached to your family; it can be of any kind.



But when Sahasrara is open you learn one thing - is detachment. It just happens that you get detached. Though I mean; you are not running away. As it is in Sahaja Yoga we don't believe in people, who run away from society and go to Himalayas.



For that I call it escapism. That is not the point, what happens is that you are there you see everyone, watch everyone, you know everyone, you are close to everyone but you are a detached person.



Its a state of mind that you achieve when Sahasrara is open. Then that state, you are dealing with people, you are dealing with problems, you are dealing with situations but you are not involved in it.



There is no involvement and that involvement which you had before can never give a complete insight, what is happening, what is the truth is, about any situation. So this detachment helps, the greatest thing of the detachment is that you are not affected.



No use saying that oh you are not affected Mother, so how can you feel for another person, how can you have compassion for another person. Because if you feel for another person then only you can solve the problem. But this feeling that you have is again a kind of an attachment. It is not a real feeling. Because it doesn't help.



The person is crying, you are also crying. The person is in trouble you are also in trouble. And this does not help that person; nor will it help you. So to have detached in no way means you do not feel the another person. You do feel, you feel the agony of that person, the trouble of that person, of the whole society sometimes and of the whole country. But, that your feeling is so detached that the all-pervading power takes over.



First we must have full faith in the capability of this all-pervading power. As soon as you are detached you say you do it. Finished, once you say that you are going to do it, it is you who is going to do it - whole thing changes completely. Because you transfer all your responsibilities, all your problems to this Divine Power which is so powerful, which is so capable, which can work out anything.



So whenever you think that this problem you are going to solve. You are the one who is going to do it then alright, the Divine Power says alright - try your luck. But if you can really put this problem to the Divine Power it will work out.

As human beings we should have love

So all the Sahaja Yogis should not support any kind of fight. They are not. They are here to bring fragrance to people, to bring happiness, to joy and not to fight. That is one of the first duties of Sahaja Yogis not to join anything which hates, which fights, which creates problem.




These fighting spirits have destroyed the fragrance of the soil. If people become loving and affectionate, this soil itself will become fragrant. First thing we must learn is to love each other, and not to hate any one. There’s so many ways of hating. This also human quality. Animals do hate, because they are animals. Human beings can't be animals.




We are human beings and as human beings what we should have is love, affection and no hatred of any kind. Now as you are Sahaja Yogis, I would say that you should try to develop your loving capacity instead of fighting capacity or criticizing others.




Very easy to criticize but try to understand that our soil itself has no fragrance. How are we to bring fragrance to this soil. This is only if people live here have affection and love for each other. This is the most important thing.




When creation took place it was only through affection, otherwise what was the need for nature to create all these things? All this is for what? To make you feel beautiful. All these trees are beautiful to make you feel good, to feel one with the nature. In that way we human beings have not contributed.




Now I'm not saying Sahaja Yogis. They are rare and they are wonderful and they have done a good job because they consider love is the highest. But you have to show to others also, that you want to love them because they should also love each other.




The whole world is created because there was love. Otherwise what was the need to waste energy on these continents and all these different countries? Was not to fight, was not to hate each other or to think no end of yourself, but to love each other, to have more brothers and sisters as in Sahaja Yoga you feel that way, you have brothers and sisters all over.




Today when I was coming, I was so happy to see there were people from all over Europe and also from India. How is it possible? Because you have developed that love. Because you have that love that innate love.




So where ever you go, where ever you meet people they should say that we have seen Sahaja Yogis who are nothing but love. They are not bothered as to what you are, what your position is or anything they only know that you are a Sahaja Yogi and a Sahaja Yogi loves other Sahaja Yogi.




This is a very big achievement it was never there as there is no fragrance in the soil, no fragrance in the human beings. Now that has come, now you have got the capacity to love each other and to help each other and to understand each other, not to criticize and not to insult or in any way defame them. This I'm saying because you are all rare people who are Sahaja Yogis.

One has to understand what is love

Only human beings know how to love, nobody else. Animals also love but there love is so limited. But human beings, there love is so beautiful. They look beautiful only when they love.




So I have to tell you not to make cheap love, but a love that you will enjoy and that another person will also enjoy. It is something to be understood, the way people understand love is sometimes very ridiculous.




So one has to first understand what is love, also to understand whether you love or not. If you really love the world, you really love this creation of God, than there should be no hatered, there should be no fights. But just to see the good points as a mother would see her child, you should see the whole world as a beautiful piece that God has created for you.




This subject is so lengthy, that I can talk to you for hours, but I have to just say that if you can understand little bit of it is this we all should have love for each other and we should have understanding.




Look at the small children, they love each other. They haven't learned yet how to hate. But if the children are not brought up well they can hate each other. They can be very ridiculously funny.

Vision of Adi Shakti

I have a vision no doubt, and I’ve been talking about it quite a lot; but it ends up with the puja, is not a good thing. I know some countries are very difficult. Try to find out what is the problem, why it is so very difficult.




Attention has to be paid to this, that what other human beings are doing to destroy themselves, as if it is the part and parcel of the same game which we call as the Last Judgment; but let us through our compassion and love save as many as possible.




This is the work of Adi Shakti, not the work of any saint or any incarnation. They’re all there, no doubt, they’re all with us all the time to help us. But you people have the power of Adi Shakti which is very great, which is very penetrating, which is miraculous, it’s so effective.




But unless and until you become aware of your own powers, how will you work it out? It would be like a dead machine that has everything, but nobody is there to work it out.




All the time I had to go through very, very hazardous times, and sometimes I’ve felt that I may have to take another birth, the way things are so difficult for Me. But now for you it has been very easy: as if the one who makes the road has to work very hard, but those who walk on that, they don’t realize how easily they have got it.




And if they realize this then they will realize also, “Let many walk on this road, which was created with such patience, understanding and love.”




I have to really see you, you all Sahaja Yogis, doing your level best to change this world – has to be changed. As It is, humanity has to be saved through you and nobody else. No president, no prime minister, no minister- none of these people can change the world and save it. It is you are entitled, you have got this Power.




Do you realize your own status, your own being, which has risen so high? It is not there. If that realisation is there, you would go all out to express your love and compassion to other people, to make them realize what they are.




Only with Sahaja Yoga you can save this world, there’s no other way out. Whatever you may try, say, to help the poor, to help this and that is something very, very superficial. Best thing is to give Realization to every person you see.

Only a mother can work it

Today is, I like the day when it is a Mother's, I should say, Mother's day also. Because I think only a mother can work it out that way, one has to have lots of patience with people. What I have seen about all these great incarnations who came, they just disappeared in a very short time they lived, very short time.



Somebody was crucified about 33 years of age. Somebody took a Samadhi at 23 years of age. Because I think they couldn't bear, the way the people were stupid? They couldn't see the point that they could do something for human beings.



They lost their confidence I think or maybe that they thought is useless to work for these people. Like that they took a position that is better to disappear.



But mother's position is different. She will go on struggling and fighting for her child. She will fight it out to the last to see that the child gets all the benefits, and this patience, and this love and this forgiveness is innately built in a mother.



Because her attitude is very different, not any achievement, not any big name or what you call a sort of an award or anything. It is just she does it because she is a Mother, and that is what is the sign of any mother, if she is a real Mother, at least for her own children she will go all out. She will work out everything, for day in & day out and try to save the child from disaster.



But Sahaja Yoga is a much bigger family and for that you really had to be worked out through the Mother's principle. You cannot take any other principle. Like there were very great warriors we had and they have done a great job also and they have worked out as warriors, then we had some who were very sacrificing, all kinds of people they had.



They worked very hard to establish Dharma in people, but they could not.I thought of one thing that no use establishing dharma. First of all give them realisation. When in the light of the spirit they see what’s wrong they became dharmic automatically. Best way is to do that, not to force dharma on them. Because you put dharma on them, they don't know how to bear it, they can't digest. So this will be the best way, is to just make them aware of their spirit.



Once the light of the spirit comes, in the light they see everything clearly then no problem is there and that's why this Mother’s quality is very helpful. I mean in every country there has been a manifestation of the Mother’s principle, in every country, and it has been depicted and said, but later on it was taken over by people who didn't want to talk about Mother.Because they could not justify themselves, the way they were behaving. So they said best is not to talk of the Mother.



Also those who were very much advanced people, very mature, who were really incarnations did talk about the Mother all the time but still talk was talk. Now this has to work out as a Mother has to work. So in your own way when you are doing Sahaja Yoga, there also you have to be a Mother.



More Mother's quality than the Father's quality. That there is no ambition, there is no competition, there is no jealousies, nothing. Just you want your children to come up and to grow in their spirituality. If that is the only attitude we have then you will be amazed how satisfied you will feel because this is a very very joy giving thing to see people growing in spirituality. Not only talking about it, not only reading about it, but actually happening, actualizing within yourself.



So this quality is very helpful and that really helps every Sahaja Yogi – to be patient, to be kind, to be humble but you have to correct also. There is a way of correction of another person, of people who are coming not from the divine world but from the normal world. So it’s a difficult task to correct them. Some people are so hot tempered they can't bear it. Doesn’t matter, you have to forgive them.



But best is to concentrate on people, who are simple, who are loving, who are affectionate and then gradually all these complicated people also will join. Your way of dealing with others has to be motherly. Motherly relationship has to be there. I was surprised that in a Western literature I don't find any description of a child and a mother's relationship. Very surprising. There’s no description at all, how the mother sees the child, how he walks, how he falls down then how he gets up and how he talks.



All kinds of beautiful things have described but not in the western countries. I don't know, they never saw this point I think. That is very important, that to describe the attention of the mother. How she is loving, how she is kind, how she tolerates so much nonsense and how she keeps it as a sort of a forgiving thing. Not just to use it against the child or to trouble.



Sometimes you have to correct, you have to tell but at the right time, at the right place if they are told the child also sees the point whatever is there.The first most convincing thing is the affection and the love of the Mother. She goes on forgiving and giving that assurance that I have a mother. Nothing can happen and this assurance works very well.



But the same assurance you have to give to other Sahaja Yogis who are getting realisation from you. Let them feel that you are not angry with them. They are stupid I know, they are sometimes violent, I have gone through all kinds of people. But only thing that has worked is pure love, pure love has no attributes of expecting something. You just give love and try to improve that person with full attention. But in divine work you don't have to get attached to that person.

Power of love is the highest and the greatest

So the main thing is to understand the power of love. Power of love is the highest and the greatest, and if you can manage somehow or other to give up your anger, give up your greed and also your ego- if you can do that, you can be in Sahasrara.



Now just see the sport of ego. It stops your ascent further. At ego only people get lost, because at ego only they move to the left or to the right and they can go to the too much of right side, or can go up to the left side. They can go to any extreme of these two.



So first of all we have to correct our ego. For this ego, what should we do? For this ego we should watch ourselves and laugh at ourselves! What ego do we have? Of what?



We are human beings- now we have become Divine! And with Divine within us, with this light within us, we have to understand that we are a part and parcel of the Divine, just a drop in the ocean of love.



If you can reduce your ego, if you can bring it to the actual ‘sense’ of your being, then it will work out better.

You are not to fight but you have to love

You are not to fight in the name of God but you have to love and understand. So this fighting in the name of God is a nonsense; not only that but it is very-very dangerous. All such people who will do that will be destroyed. It is self destructive. Such people will be destroyed completely.




So you should understand that in the name of God you have to love, you have to understand. You need not tolerate nonsense, it’s different, but you have to love people- spread your love.



Gradually this love can go all over the world and then the vision of mine, I can see, working out but if there is fighting, there’s hatred, there’s all kind of aggressiveness, these are all against Shiva and such people will be destroyed. What will I do with them? What can I do if they are destroyed? If they are very money oriented, materialistic people, they are not loving.



They love you only for money. All such people will be destroyed, no doubt. One should be not only humble but should be extremely loving. To get the blessings of Shiva you have to be extremely loving. Such people may not be very cunning, clever, may be very innocent, must be, because when you love somebody you want to help that person.



I have suffered myself, I have tried to help people and they have deceived me. So what! That’s their nature and they are destroyed. What can I do? I didn’t ask them that you deceive me but they deceived me. I don’t know, why?



And I have been very kind and nice- still they deceived me! So then the destruction follows, what can I do about it? I don’t want anybody to be destroyed. I love this creation of mine and I don’t have any way of protection them if they are destructive.



Because there’s another great power who can destroy them. This is a absolutely, I am in a helpless condition sometimes I feel. And I don’t know how to express but one has to understand as Sahaja Yogi that with Shiva’s love and His blessings you can become extremely loving, extremely generous, very-very sweet and innocent like children.

Divine is looking after you so, why to bother?

To become a Guru you have to develop that personality, not to be bound by anything. I will tell you my own example. I never hurry, I am never bothered about time, because if you are sure that Divine has plans for you, you are not bothered. The Divine is looking after you so, why to bother?






I was going to America and one child fell down and broke her arm and when I saw the child I said alright I will put the child right. They said, you are going to America. I said, I will go in any case. So I cured the child, it took about half an hour and then I came out. Alright, let’s go to the airport. They said, Mother you are very late. I said, I am never late, let’s go. We went to the airport and the plane by which I was going was out of order. So there was another plane going to Washington not to New York and I wanted to go to Washington only.




So, just imagine how things work out and we call them Sahaja. It has worked out Sahaja, that means it’s effortless, but first of all your personality should be such that your devotion is so great that Divine is compelled to look after you, compelled to look after you.





You have to understand that Divine force is around and this Divine force is absolute guarantee for your safety, for everything that you want to do. You can say that Mother, you are very powerful. You can become, also, very important if you get completely dedicated to the Divine work. You will also have all the powers and the Divine will provide all the necessary work that you want to do, necessary time that you want to have.




Everything is provided by the Divine. But the compassion when it extends from other people to God or to Divine person or to your Guru then it becomes very easy to live, very simple to live, no complications, everything is sorted out and you are not bothered about anything.. just close your eyes and things work out. Everything works out as if that’s your will, but you don’t have to will it, don’t have to think about it, it just works out.



The Divine looks after everything, looks after your comfort, looks after your health, everything. And this Divine help you do not seek, you do not ask for, but you are a personality for which the Divine is responsible. You are a special responsibility of the Divine and it knows what is good for you and what is not.

Mother hurt when her child misbehaves

God doesn’t want anything from you. What can you give to God? It’s a funny ideapeople have. But its all right you can give anything to God.





Krishna has said that you can give Me flowers, you can give Me water, you can give Me this presents, this / that, I’llaccept. But what does He say? That only thing that you have to do is to be one with Me.You have to be one with Me, you have to connect, be connected with Me.





And this feeling of connection is so satisfying, is so joy giving, so nice, which cannot be describedin words. Thus you find your Kundalini is just flowing out with joy for yourself and forothers.





Also the right side - ambitiousness, domination, showing off, harshness, cruelties.I don’t know how many things there are on the right side. But they can be unlimited. Imean the limit is Hitler you can say, so far. God knows some other may come to competewith him, but so far he’s the last word. So all these also start destroying this Kundalini.




I’ve seen also Kundalini of people which is hurt, wounded, just can’t rise, finished. ThenI feel that let them take a second birth; only then one can work it out because isimpossible for such a Kundalini to make Her rise. If you are selfish and you are cruelthen this Kundalini becomes hurt. A good mother feels hurt when her child misbehaves.




So this Kundalini gets very hurt because She wants you to have your second birth andShe cant just bear it and this makes Her absolutely incapable of rising. She becomes sick,ill and wounded. So all kinds of aggressiveness should be given up.





That’s not going to help because you have come to Sahaja Yoga not for saving money or bargaining oranything. You have come here because you are seekers. I’ve seen invariably people whohave been to false gurus always have this kind of a money orientation because they musthave been lynched completely by the previous gurus, maybe, I don’t know what to say.

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.

Warmth of sun is warmth of God’s love

Today is the day where we celebrate the change of the axis of the sun, and that he moves towards the Tropic of Cancer. Tropic of Cancer is the one which represents the motherhood, the motherhood of the earth.



This Tropic of Cancer has passed through quite a big area of land, while the Tropic of Capricorn has not. And the area through which it has passed it has created different beautiful manifestation of the mother qualities on this earth. We celebrate this change because the sun has now moved into the new dimension, so that all over the world there will be the warmth of the sun.



Warmth of the sun represents the warmth of God’s love. This is the reason why we celebrate this festival by giving you some sort of a sweet made out of sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are given because they are also heat-giving, and now as we are coming from the cold we come to the hot season, in a way hotter season, so to prepare you with that warmth of the sun.



This special things are made out of the seed of sesame to represent the oncoming warmth, and the warmth of the sun. Though in India the heat is too much, still people are waiting for this time to come in and they celebrate it with such a warm heart. At this time it is said that they give you this sesame seed and the sugar to eat, but now you must speak in a sweet manner ("gudd gudd gunaaa"), means you must speak in the sweet manner.



Speaking in the sweet manner is very important. Some people think it is smart to speak in a rude manner, or is very intelligent to shout on people but no one likes this kind of a personality, you may be intelligent, you may be very sharp or smart. May be on a television people may like to see you, but not as companions, as friends. To speak in a very sweet manner is a sign of good breeding, good culture and fear of God.



Those who fear God will never speak rudely to another person, because in another person also the same spirit is shining; and why should we be sharp or angry with another person who is created by God Almighty as we are created?



So this loving beautiful co-relationship that we have with each other after Sahaja Yoga specially, let us express in talking to each other sweetly. There are so many ways by which we could be sweet. There are little, little things if you do, you can create lot of sweetness, but you need not a sharp tongue, but a sharp memory. I try these things many a times.

Overcoming from Kaliyuga

Now Diwali is very significant because today is the darkest day. Darkest night and longest night, and to end it up they put lights.




Now in the atmosphere its all very dark black, the sun is gone. So they out on all these lights. In the same way it is Kaliyuga.



Now Kaliyuga, even consider as one day it is very dark, horrible, it has lots of problems which made our life miserable and we don’t know how to move with love. At this moment what is necessary is to enlighten oneself. Kaliyuga is at its worst now. The kind of things people are doing even in the name of God is shocking. But that is Kaliyuga, where we have lost all the sense of direction. We don’t know which way we are going.



All kinds of wrong things we are doing and we think its alright. After all what’s wrong in it. Everything you tell them, they say what’s wrong? You tell them don’t do it, they say what’s wrong? That’s how every human being has become very individualistic. In a way he is not, because they allow a fashion, they follow a style.



I mean they are not. They are slavish. But they belive that they are very independent. They are free people. They can do whatever they like. As a result of this freedom, in this Kaliyuga, what has happened with them is that they have become extremely ugly. The kind of things they are doing in Kaliyuga is unbelievable. Even when they are preached, they are in the Church’s, this thing, that thing. They become so horribly immoral that you can not believe how come that be in the name of God, under the roof of God. But it has started, that is Kaliyuga. And this Kaliyuga has to be finished.




So what do we do to remove the darkness of the night, is to put light. In the same way people should be enlightened. There should be light in the hearts of people. Once they are enlightened, this darkness, from which we are suffering because of our ignorance, will be finished and we will have the absolute knowledge.




So this is a new age that we are talking about here, right now here, that it is going to work out in such a manner that there will be all enlightened personalities together and they will know what is right, what is real knowledge, Gyana.

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.
