Just meditate

When you feel bored ,
deeply worried,
under the peak of tensions,
just meditate

When you have to do your task,
When your face is like a sad mask,
just meditate

When failure comes with might,
And loving one depart,
Have courage with patience and ,
just meditate

When you are disliked,
Insulted or scolded,
Don’t lose heart, but
Just meditate

It makes one happy, my friend
To keep your mind sound,
And your body healthy, so
Just meditate.

Promise Me that you will meditate

Without meditation you don't understand what is best for you. So today is a day when you have to promise Me that you will meditate, every night, every evening, maybe in the morning also.



Whenever it is possible if you can go into meditative mood, you are in contact with this Divine Power.



Then whatever is good for you, whatever good for your society, for your country, all is done by this Divine Power. Don't have to overpower the Divine Power, you don't have to order, you don't have to ask. Just if you meditate you are one with this all pervading power, which is a another great blessings to us.



Unless and until your Sahasrara is open, all the blessings of the Divine Power cannot come to you , cannot, maybe you might get some money, you might get some jobs, you might get this and that.



But your own development is only possible when you meditate and your Sahasrara is completely open and open to truth. Now the truth is that this divine power is compassion, is love. This is the truth. They say God is love, God is truth. So the equation has to be made that truth is love and love is truth.

Meditation with Shri Mataji

So today is the day when we have to introspect, so should we go into meditation all of us. Please close your eyes. All of you close your eyes. Now we all will do the meditation the way we have been doing in the halls, wherever we had public programs.




So the fist you have to put your hand on your heart. We will work on the left hand side and the left hand towards Me. Now first of all you put your hand on your heart. In the heart resides Shiva, is the Spirit. So you have to thank your Spirit that it has brought light to your attention because you are a Saint and the light that has come in your heart has to enlighten the whole world.




So please now in your heart you pray that, let this light of my Love of the Divine spread to the whole world. With all sincerity and understanding that you are connected with the Divine and whatever you desire will happen with full confidence in yourself.




Now put your right hand in the upper part of your abdomen on the left hand side, on upper part of your stomach on the left hand side. And now here is the centre of your Dharma. Here you have to pray that:




Let Vishwa Nirmala Dharma spread in the whole world. Let people see the light through our dharmic life, through our righteousness. Let people see them and accept the Vishwa Nirmala Dharma by which they get enlightenment and a benevolent higher life and a desire to ascend.




Now take your right hand in the lower portion of your abdomen, of the stomach on the left hand side. Press it. Now this is the centre of pure knowledge. Here you have to say as Sahaja Yogis that our Mother has given us the full idea how the Divine works. She has given us all the mantras and all the pure knowledge that we could bear and understand.




Let me fully be knowledgeable about that, all of us. I have seen if the man is a leader, the wife does not know a word about Sahaja Yoga




If the woman knows about Sahaja Yoga, the husband doesn’t know anything about it. Let me be proficient and an expert in this knowledge, so that I can give realisation to people, make them understand what is Divine Law, what is Kundalini and what are the Chakras. Let my attention be more on Sahaja Yoga than all these mundane things




Now put your right hand on the upper part of your abdomen and close your eyes. Now here on the left hand side press it. Now here, Mother has given me the spirit and I have my own Guru which is the Spirit. I am master of my own. Let there be no abandonment.




Let there be dignity in my character.

Let there be generosity in my behavior.

Let there be compassion and Love for other Sahaja Yogis.

Let me not show off, but have a deep- deep knowledge about God’s Love and His doings, so that when people come to me, I should be able to tell them about Sahaja Yoga and give them this great knowledge with humility and Love.




Now raise your right hand on your heart. Here you have to thank God that you have felt the ocean of joy and you have felt the ocean of forgiveness and the capacity to forgive as our Mother has, which we have seen is so tremendous.




Let my heart expand and encompass the whole Universe and my Love should resound the Name of God. The heart every moment should express the beauty of God’s Love.




Take your now right hand in the Vishuddhi i.e. on the left Vishuddhi between the neck and the shoulder in the corner. I will not indulge into the falsehood of guilt because I know it is falsehood. I will not escape my faults but face them and eradicate them.




I will not try to find fault with others, but in my own knowledge of Sahaja Yoga let me remove their faults. We have so many ways secretly we can remove the faults of others.




Let my collectivity become so great that the whole Sahaja Yoga race is my own family, my own children, my home, my everything.




Let me get that feeling completely, innately built within myself that I am a part and parcel of the whole because we all have one Mother and let my concern go to the whole world to know what are their problems and how can through my true desire power solve that.




Let me feel the problems of the world in my heart and innately to remove all of them from the basis of which they are, from the basis from which they are generated.




Let me go to the principles of all this problems and try to remove them through my Sahaja Yoga powers, through my Saintly powers




Now put your right hand on your forehead across. Now here you have to say first of all:


I have to forgive all those who have not come in Sahaja Yoga, those who are on the periphery, who come and go, who jump in and jump out.




But first of all and foremost I have to forgive all the Sahaja Yogis because they are all better than me. I am the one who tries to find fault with them but I am at the lowest end and I have to forgive them because I must know that I still have to go very further. I am still much less, I have to improve myself.




This humility has to come within us. So you have to say here:

Let the humility in my heart in a true sense, not hypocritical.

Work out this feeling of forgiveness so that I bow to reality, to God and to Sahaja Yoga.




Now you have to put back your hand on the back side of your head and push back your head, here and you have to say here:




Oh Mother, whatever wrong we have done to You so far or whatever wrong goes in our minds, whatever smallness we have shown to You, whatever way we have troubled You and challenged You, please forgive us.




You have to ask for forgiveness. In your intelligence you should know What I Am. I don’t have to tell you again and again, not at Sahasrara.




You have to thank Me at Sahasrara, put your hand, move it seven times and thank Me seven times.




Mother, thank You very much for the realization.
And Mother, thank You very much for making us understand how great we are and thank You very much for bringing all the blessings of the Divine and thank You very much for raising us higher, much higher than from where we were and also thank You very much for sustaining us and for helping us to improve ourselves and correct ourselves.




And thank You very much ultimately that, Mother, You have come on this earth, taken Your birth and working so hard for us, for all of us.




Press it hard. And move it hard. Now take down your hands. Heads are all very hot. So now let us give ourselves a nice bandhan. In the bandhan of Mother let us move our left to the right. One, Nicely. Understanding what you are. What are your auras. Now again second one. Now the third one. Now the fourth one. Now the fifth. Now the sixth one. And now the seventh.




Now raise your Kundalini, raise your Kundalini slowly, very slowly, raise it first time, you have to do it very slowly. Now push back your heads and give it a knot, one knot. Second one, let’s do it very slowly and knowing what you are, you are a Saint. Do it properly, properly, do it properly not in a haste. Take it to your head, Push back your head and give it two knots there, one and two.




Now let’s do the other one. Again the third one you have to give three knots. Very slowly do it. Very slowly. Now do it properly. Now push back your head. Now give it the third one. Three times.




Now see your vibrations. See your vibrations like this. All the children see your vibrations like this, put your hands, they have done it alright, good.



Beautiful. I am getting vibrations from you.




May God bless you.
Thank you very much.

Krishna has said leave them to me and I will manage

Krishna has said in His Gita, ‘Sarava Dharmanam Pratyajyam Mamekam Sharnam Vaj.’



Forget about all your dharmas. Dharmas meaning that we have a dharma of a wife, of a husband, of a member of the society. All of them have their own dharma.



But He says leave them and leave it them to Me and I will manage. This is it, we have to learn, is to say that it is this Divine Power which will solve our problems. As human beings its a very difficult state, and this state only can be achieved through meditation.



I am not saying that you go on meditating for hours together. Not necessary, but with full faith in yourself and in the Divine Power, if you work it out, I am sure, it is not difficult to rise to that state of consciousness. That is what we have to achieve.



It is possible for men as well as for women. They don't have to think how can we, Mother, do it? After all, see all such people are no good for Sahaja yoga. Those who have diffidence about themselves cannot do anything. But those who are surrendered and those who think they can do it, can manage all this transfer of their power to the Divine Power. Just put it on the Divine Power.



Now supposing I have a car which can drive me down. So if I have a car, then I don't put bullocks on it. I don't push my car, I just sit inside and use it. In the same way if you have this great power around you, if your Sahasrara is absolutely, completely submerged in it, then you'll be amazed how things work out for yourself.

To cross Agnya you have to meditate

Now one thing is there, obstructing Sahasrara, is the movement of your Agnya into thoughts. That is the only thing- that is the only thing that stops your entry into Sahaja Yoga.



Thoughts are coming all the time because a human being is born who reacts to everything. React to this and react to that and thoughts coming and thoughts go. There is a big crowd of thoughts because of that your attention cannot cross over Agnya and cannot reside in the Sahasrara.



So first of all one should see, what sort of thoughts are coming. You have to condemn yourself sometimes. You have to say: 'What nonsense. What have I been doing? What is the matter with me? How could I do all that?' Once you start doing that, these thoughts will start disappearing.



These thoughts are coming from two angle: one from the ego and another from your conditionings. And these are so much built up within you that they don't allow your Agnya to be crossed. That is why we have two Bija Mantras of HAM, KSHAM.



First one is when it is conditioning. You are endowed with this kind of fear: 'I should not do like this. I should not do like that. This is not allowed. That is not allowed.' That is the conditioning part of it. Conditioning can be of many types. But the ego part is that 'I must overpower everybody. I must get this. I must be able to rule everyone.'


These two things are there in the mind, which are all the time crossing. So it is important that we should go into thoughtless awareness and that thoughtless awareness is the real way that your Sahasrara can be nourished by the Kundalini. Because Kundalini cannot go through, cannot pass through and for that, as I said, there are two Bija Mantras. One is HAM. Another is KSHAM.



So if you are conditioned, you are frightened, you are afraid and you have ideas about yourself. These days the way people are describing: They say: 'I am an extrovert.' Somebody will say: 'I am an introvert.' Somebody will say: 'I am hippy.. I am that.. I am that..'



All kinds of things they can have attributed to themselves. But these ideas are all coming from outside, they are not from inside. To get to the inner side of yourself, the subtler side of your being, you must allow the Kundalini to go through the Agnya.



To cross the Agnya is a very important thing in modern times. And for that you have to meditate. If you can meditate with complete faith in yourself, this Agnya can be opened up. With surrendering to the Divine, you have to surrender yourself to the Divine and when this Agnya opens, you will be amazed. Your Sahasrara is just waiting to transfer, to give you all the help that you need through the all pervading power.



Your connection of Sahasrara with the all pervading power is established and by that you will be amazed how all these seven chakras work for you, how they help you, how they try to give you whatever is the real knowledge about everything. This real knowledge that you get is very joy giving.



You can see this real knowledge in everything. You don't have to start reading any book about it. In every situation and in every person, in every flower, in every natural happening, you see clearly the hand of the Divine. Once you see the hand of the Divine, your ego start disappearing, once you say that: 'It is you. You do everything.'



Kabira has said something great about this. He said that when the goat is alive, it goes on saying I am, ma ma, I am, I am. But when it is slaughtered and its intestines are made into strings, which are used for cleaning the cotton, then it said tuhi, tuhi, you are, you are. See in this symbolic way, they have suggested that you have to become the, dissolved into this divine power. It is the divine power that does everything.



What am I? I was just a drop and I fell into this ocean of awareness of the divine power and that is taking over and working it out. That will help you a lot to be a great Sahaja Yogi.

Sahasrara opening is very important

Only your Sahasrara can reflect the light of the divine. So your Sahasrara is extremely important. You must meditate to enrich your Sahasrara, to cure it, to make it completely nourished by the Kundalini.


There is no need to do many rituals but meditation and also little bit of taking bandhan, even now, today is necessary I think when you go out because still Kaliyuga is working its own pangs and the Satyayuga is trying to come up.



We are the ones who are going to support, look after the Satyayuga and that’s why the Sahasrara opening is very, very important. It is very important and those who want to grow should meditate every day. Whatever time you may come home, may be in the morning may be in the evening, any time but you will know that you are meditating when you can get into thoughtless awareness.



Then you will know, your reaction will be zero. Look at something, you will just look at it, you won’t react because you are thoughtless. You won’t react, when that reaction is not there, then everything, you'll be surprised, is divine, because reaction is your Agnya’s problem.



Once you are absolutely thoughtlessly aware, you are one with the divine. So much so that Divine takes over every activity, every moment of your life and looks after it and you feel completely secured, one with the Divine and enjoy the blessings of the Divine.


May God bless You!

Mother's promise

"I am with you at every step, at every place. Everywhere. You may go anywhere. At every place I am with you, completely, in person, by mind and in every respect. Whenever you will remember me I will be by your side with all my powers. It is my promise."

Starting a New Year

Now we are starting a New Year and I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year. In this Desh of mine, I also wish you a very deep growth in Sahaja Yoga. Now you all are Sahaja Yogis and you all have to become masters in Sahaja Yoga.



For becoming masters in Sahaja Yoga I am sure, you are doing meditation, introspection, and all kinds of Sahaja Yoga rituals, I should say. In this New Year I think there is greater chance for you to do much better because all those years of ordeals are over. We are now entering into the new era or say now the ‘Satyayuga’ has established.



In the beginning you may not feel the atmosphere of Kaliyuga has been cleared out completely. Of course gradually you will find that all is clearing out and all the people who are dangerous for your spiritual life or your national life, for your family life will have to take back their wheel. They cannot be successful.



Now the Sahaja Yogis have to decide, how far they has spread Sahaja Yoga all over, how many people they can get into Sahaja Yoga? There should be many more waiting for you this year, and may be this year if you all decide to work it out, I am sure, you can get lots of people who will be saved from the curses of Kaliyuga. This is going to be your vow on the New Year day that now we are going to start Sahaja Yoga in a new way, in a bigger way, in a more dynamic way.



For that first thing is needed is your ‘Sangh Shakti’, that is your collectivity. This collectivity has to be extremely well built well knit, well understood and absolutely loveable. This is not difficult in Sahaja Yoga because practically all your jealousies, all your baser ideas have been completely washed out by your Kundalini. She has transformed you. You are different people.



You are very very different. Not only that, but you have now understood your self. You are knowing yourself and all those who know themselves, can’t fight with each other. Because this Self is the reflection of one person, of one deity, of one God. And so how can you fight, when he is within your heart, how can you fight with each other? Otherwise you will be fighting with yourself. It would be very-very stupid to do that.



So all the fights and all the funny things that you have been thinking about will of course disappear, no doubt. But you will become very dynamic. You will be amazed at your dynamism. Just you have to rise, just you have to express yourself to manifest. You can become very-very collective, progressive and you can create many Sahaja Yogis.

Sahaja Yoga Meditation Introduction - Presentation

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.

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?

Sankranti Puja, Kalwe, 14th January 1990

when we meditate we go into Thoughtless Awareness

First to get Self-Realisation and then to be aware of your position. Then you’ll be surprised how you develop proper attention and proper understanding.



Absolutely, it is an easy thing to do as soon as you find that you have achieved that witness- state. So please try to make yourself a witness. When you see something, go into thoughtless awareness. That is your fort. Don’t think. See the beauty that is there, just pouring in, just watch how these tree are standing still just watching you all. See, absolutely still, nothing is moving. They don’t even allow one leaf to move……let it be. Till the breeze, till then we just keep quiet and watch. Like these mountains how they are steadily watching everything and emitting joy and beauty. In the same way, we have to become witness. We need not talk too much, we need not keep quiet but in the center we should witness the whole thing as ‘Leela’. That’s why He is called ‘Leeladhara’, means the one who sustains the Leela of persons.



It doesn’t make you mad, it doesn’t make you funny, but it makes you joyous. Anything that makes you joyous is the Vishnu principle of Shri Krishna. I hope all of us are going to enjoy our Vishnu principle hereafter as we have enjoyed before by meditating. Because when we meditate we go into Thoughtless Awareness. When we are in Thoughtless Awareness, then only we grow, otherwise we cannot grow. Whatever we may try we cannot grow. Unless and until we meditate we cannot become Thoughtlessly Aware.



All those who also want to gain in any walk of life, in any dimension, those who want to become, say, great artists, great scientists, great anything have to meditate. In Sahaja Yoga it is important you must meditate, otherwise the kundalini will come down and you will lose all your talents. That is a fact which has to be told and you saw how people have got transformed.

Thoughtless awareness

Many people meditate but, their thought process is going on. They’re not thoughtlessly silent. Now this is the one point which is very important. If you have to grow, you should be absolutely in connection with Divine through thoughtless awareness. You don’t have to pray. You don’t have to call anyone – nothing. It just works because it is within you.





All these thoughts are bombarding you from both the sides in your mind. These thoughts that are coming to you, have no meaning with you. They do not substantiate you. Yourself, you are an ocean and you have to get into that state of thoughtless awareness.





It is always described in all the great books, but not so clearly as I am telling you. I don’t say that some of you do not get thoughtless awareness, so they’re good for nothing- no. But please try. You can all get into that state of thoughtless awareness. Even for a second, if you get it, it’s a very good idea. Then you go on increasing that second.





I think it’s a reflecting mind. When you look at something, you can become thoughtlessly aware and then your mind reflects to the depth of what you see. That’s how you all will become really very creative Sahaja Yogis.


What I find that this state of thoughtless awareness is not established by you. It is not good.





Today on this day of Diwali, I would say that you enlighten yourself with thoughtless awareness. It is not difficult. It’s within you because thoughts are coming from this side and that side and they are not the waves of your brain - no, just your own reactions.




But in case you meditate in the real sense of the word, then you’ll get into that thoughtless awareness, which is a very important point and all these nonsensical thoughts, which are of no use to you, will disappear. They won’t be there and then your growth is possible and you’ll grow very well.




Many people are here who will say, “Mother, we don’t get that state” - try. Try that. I don’t believe you cannot get it. All of you can get that thought that, “I can get it!” and you will get it. In that, you don’t have to discard anything, you don’t have to see anything, just go into meditation and you will be amazed how it will work.


Of course, you are very much there, most of you, but still, I would say, increase that thoughtless awareness, that area.




Today is very important because of this day of Diwali. Diwali is supposed to be enlightenment day, but enlightenment within is how much you are in thoughtless awareness and everything works out because you are the ocean of it.



You have it within yourself. Only you have to tap it. If you don’t tap it, then it doesn’t work out. You have to just tap it and you will be amazed that you are a source of such joy, source of such happiness. I should say a source of real enlightenment.



So today’s message is that, while meditating, go into thoughtless awareness. No thought is important because it’s your own creation. But if you have to become with the Divine creation, you have to get to that state of thoughtless awareness, minimum of minimum.



Once that comes to you gradually it will grow and you will be amazed how you’ll be able to grow into Sahaja Yoga in a very big way.

Thank you very much.

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.

Navratri - 5th Night - Panchami

SKANDAMATA - Who Gave birth to Karttikeya

Today being the Panchami Read Argala Stotram -

http://nirmalvidya.blogspot.com/2008/09/argala-stotram.html

What today you have been asking me for the victory, I have to tell you that you are very safe in the fort of your meditative state and very well. In meditation only you can grow, you cannot grow otherwise. It is like the sunshine for any tree. You have to be in meditation, in Nirvichara, you don't have to oppose anybody, you don't have to agree anybody, you don't have to say anything. Specially for other Yogis, You don't have to say anything. Anybody whom you find to be funny, just go into meditation and you will be amazed how things will change, and this is your power. How many people have got realisation in this world? Very few. They are growing up - all right, they are working it out. But what is lacking in them is the Meditative Force.

THE BEST WAY IS TO SURRENDER AND THE SURRENDERING IS EASIER. YOU JUST PUT ME IN YOUR HEART, ALL THE TIME, THE SIMPLEST WAY. THEN YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. YOU CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT IT. YOU FEEL COMPLETELY LOST. IT'S KIND OF A VERY DETACHED LOVE. YOU JUST FEEL ABSOLUTELY RESTED, BLISSFUL, AND CONTENT. THEN YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING. THAT IS THE STATE, ONE HAS TO ESTABLISH. IT IS SO EASY FOR YOU BECAUSE I AM IN PERSON WITH YOU. ONLY PROBLEM THAT IS THERE AS I TOLD YOU IN SAHAJA YOGA THAT YOU HAVE TO RECOGNISE ME TO BEGIN WITH.

But to recognise me is rather difficult because I am a Mahamaya and so normally you might come into that mess created by Mahamaya. But as I told you the other day that you could not have faced me in my other form. Imagine a person with a sword in the hand sitting on a lion. Could not have faced it. So I had to be Mahamaya and this is what it is, that in this form you can come close to me, you can talk to me, you can also take my advice, if you want. So this counseling can be done better. I could decode everything to you. I could tell everything about it. But to KNOW THAT YOU ARE SITTING BEFORE MAHAMAYA ITSELF IS VERY HELPFUL. So don't get lost into the garb of Mahamaya. In your protocol, in your understanding, in everything you have to remember that we should not make mistakes and we should try to surrender. Automatically you will learn everything. There is nothing to be taught to you.

That state is such - like a tree. When it comes to its full bloom, it gives flowers and the flowers come to it's own maturity that give fruits. That is how you are built in. That is how you grow. What then happens you yourself feel your own growth and enjoy it and just live happily with it. So ultimately my destiny is one that I should make you all very happy and joyous. That is my destiny. That is why all this struggle is going on. I hope I fulfill my destiny and your destiny too. MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Beautiful RAKHEES

Many many blessings to all.

I have received the beautiful RAKHEES lovingly sent by you .RAKHEE denotes a protective power. This protective bandhan is very powerful and at the same time delicate as it represents pure love between a brother and a sister.



Whenever a sister ties this RAKHEE on a brother’s hand, it establishes a relation of enduring protection by the brother for the sister. Unfortunately, the sensitivity of human beings to the feelings of love has become so weak that tying a RAKHEE has become a mechanical ritual. In absence of a deep living faith all human actions and rituals become dry and lifeless.


We are born in this life with a purposeful responsibility towards all Sahaj yogis and are all the time aware of their love and devotion. Myself being desireless, I depend entirely on their desires. It is customary for a brother to ask for something from the sister on this day. All sahajayogis should therefore collectively let me know whatever they desire from my side.



I am keeping very good health as this is the pure desire of all of you. I have to undergo a minor surgery for ear which is not a problem, and you need not worry about it nor feel unduly concerned.



RAKHEE bandhan is a very important day and one should desire on this occasion to become a 'whole', you should always have high aspirations and your attention should be to larger perspectives. Sahaj-yogis are not expected to waste their attention in petty small things. We have to work very hard, those of you who have achieved good progress should still work out much more. We should open more centers. We must help the sick to cure their ailments and above all strive to bring people on the path of TRUTH. Please circulate this letter to all the sahaj yogis.

Always remembering you all -NIRMALA

Translation of the original letter written in marathi by MOTHER to all Sahaj yogis on
receiving RAKHEES from them.
(From Nirmala Yoga-7), 17 Aug 1978

Relationship with Sahaja Yoga

Now your relationship to Sahaja Yoga is also very important. There's a Maryada about it very much. Sahaja yoga should not be taken for granted.



Anybody who thinks he has got realisation and now he is sitting on top of the world - is not so. You must work it out, you have to have discipline. The same gentleman - the BBC fellow - was saying that it was before, for years together you had to live in celibacy and wash - and sweep steps of the temple and do all kinds of things, work hard, do this do that, - and then they would raise it to one chakra.




I said, "Now we do it the other way round". First build the dome, and then the foundation. Sahaja Yoga is like that. So that, with the dome you understand you are protected, you are looked after. But people take for granted. Like : "Mother will do it." "Leave it to Mother." No.



It is not so. You are my hands. Now, supposing, my hands have to lift this, I should say that "Nirmala will do it." Now which is Nirmala ? - These hands are the Nirmala at this point!



So, many people drift like that, so to Sahaja Yoga also your attitude should be of respect. You should not try to put yourself into bandhan before others, you should not try to do these things, but in a dignified way you should respect Sahaja Yoga. And 'foremost' of all, to Sahaja Yoga your relationship should be that you should 'know' "Sahaja Yoga" what it is."

Raksha-Bandhan and Maryada

(DCB November-December 2007)

There are only two problems

People who are mediocre think that gradually they’ll be all right and that they’ll come up. But I would suggest that you should make an all-out effort to become strong Sahaja Yogis. To become strong Sahaja Yogis is not difficult because you have all the powers within yourselves. You have the kundalini within yourselves and you know the way- how to become a realized soul.






The problems are of you being dragged into your ego or into conditioning- only two problems, not more. Like somebody asked,"How many turns are there in London?”. Only two: left or right. So either you go to the left or to the right. All the permutations and combinations of this left and right starts working and then you get into trouble. And then you get into problems. But actually it is a very simple thing. To get out of your ego should be the simplest and that is where you try to understand yourself. You see yourself. How you are reacting? Where is your attention? What are you doing? What is your attitude towards Sahaja Yoga?





So many people think that”this is my house, this is my family, this is my car, this my horse, this my dog.” I don’t know how far it goes- “my, my, my, my, my.” But nothing is yours…. As Kabira has said it, that “some cheat” –that is the death – “will come and take away everything that is not yours.” Then “my family,” then “my children”- all this is a nonsense. And so, when you start getting attached to this word “my,” there is where you fail completely into your own understanding of your ego, you’re completely blinded by this ego.





First of all, you should say that “nothing is mine.” Kabira has said that when the goat is living she goes on saying “Maie, maie, maie.” It means “I, I, I, I” in the Hindi language. He made a pun on the word “maie.” And when she dies and her intestines are taken out and are made into something that spins the cotton, they go on the street, these people, telling people they are around. They go on playing on that string which is made from the intestines of these goats which says, “Toohee, toohee, toohee,” meaning “you are, you are, you are.”


So one neeed not be like a goat, that until you leave you go on saying “I, I, maie, maie, maie,” when you die, then your intestines have to be taken out and put on that thing just to make the sound “toohee, toohee toohee.”





So this sound of “I, I, I” is made only by egoistical human beings, but this ego is so much identified with you that you think that “I am this ego and this ego is me.”And in that ego, you start doing all kinds of nonsensical things. This ego takes you nowhere. It takes you nowhere but into a complete mire of ignorance about yourself. Ultimately, you become stupid. Others can tell you that you are stupid or you become idiotic or get a bad name and everybody knows that you are doing all wrong things, but nobody dare tell you because you are to be reached with a barge pole. Such a hot – tempered personality you become that nobody dare come to you and say that is wrong, it should not be done, it’s all stupid, idiotic. And you, yourself, in that idiocy and stupidity think no end of yourself. This is the extreme of your ego.

Faith and sincerity

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





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



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

May God bless you.
