Fighting and Quarrels

Now, I find one fighting with the other. Fights amongst Hindus and Muslims are now over, while the fighting of others has begun. It means there is another issue: we are very quarrelsome as well. At least in the other countries one does not have religions of so many countries. But, here at our places, whenever you get an opportunity you start a fight. Fighting becomes the priority. Fighting is between husband and wife, then amongst their children and then, if there is someone else with them, it is with them too.




What is Sahaja Yoga? Sahaja Yoga is love. It is love. Awaken that power of love that is within us. Today is a very auspicious day and we have to light the lamps in our hearts and take up the resolution that, even if we have to die, we won’t tell lies. We already have such people with us.




But it has earned such a bad reputation across the world that the Indians are basically dishonest. Well, I have never at least seen one, but whenever I hear of it, I feel very sad.




India is such a holy place where so many great saints have taken their birth, as nowhere else. Sufis are there who were here, all those who became great. The all were from India only. No other countries had such a number of great souls. A few countable ones may have been there, but we had many great souls here. But subsequently, leave aside whatever they taught us, we became branded cheats and frauds.




Yet the offence of cheating is sustained. They can never ascend to heaven. And whatever is the lifespan one may have here, he will have to spend a thousand times more lifespans than this in hell.

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.

Fragrance in human being is his nature

What is a fragrance in human being is his nature, his temperament. How he lives and how he behaves towards others. All the countries all over, still not aware that you have to become fragrant. If they were to be aware then all wars will end, everything will finish off and they we will know we are all one.




We do not belong to different countries or anything which we have made. God has not made, we have made. This is your country. This is their country and countrywise we will fight.




This country belongs to no one. This belongs to God but people stupidly fight, on the countries that this is our country, this is our country. Now I've traveled all over the world, I wouldn't say any any any country as their own because if you own a country, you should have fragrance.




You should have temperament which will make other people feel that you come from countries of fragrance. Won't have to argue but one country is fighting with another country.




Every where it goes on, you read in the newspaper all the time we see this non sense that countries are fighting and the more they are developed better they are. In this development of there's I hope they rise and becomes spiritual and they develop fragrance, but this fighting spirit of human beings has come from Satan I think.




That they are killing themselves, killing others, destroying the whole world. You read newspaper you fell so ashamed how humans beings are going on! So all the Sahaja Yogis should not support any kind of fight.

With sincerity you understand yourself

I can’t understand how can diamonds be thrown into dirt like this, and covered with that, and the fragrance turned into filth. It is beyond Me. The powers of human beings sometimes supersede that of God.




You can see the way they can change the forms, they can change beauty, change everything that is reality into something nonsensical and stupid. And they live with it. They don’t want to know about it, they enjoy it, “we are very happy people, what’s wrong?”




What a waste, one feels, of this creation. One feels with what aspirations and visions these human beings were created on this earth. And then what should we do to make them understand what they are, to make them aware with that perception, with that vision of the Divine that they are.




Sometimes I also cry in the wilderness and share some of the pathos of all these poets who came on this earth and suffered and suffered and suffered. I hope today with all this anguish, whatever I’m telling you you’ll try to see that sincerity is the only way you can understand yourself.




No books, nothing, no conditioning, no denying, nothing can convince you but the sincerity to know the spirit which is within you; and this sincerity I call it as the ‘pure desire’. If you have that pure desire which is the power of your Kundalini you will get your realisation now, just now, you should.




That’s all is needed, the pure desire to be the spirit, nothing more than that. But when it is awakened, then it is to be looked after. That’s very important. It has to be looked after, it has to be kept burning, it has to be maneuvered and kept at a point that you start growing more and more.




I need not tell you all about Sahaja Yoga, it’s going to be too much for you. But how Blake has worked for us, so many poets have done this job and now the new great poets are coming to finish us off, to please the media, to make money, befool us, using flowery words, pleasing sentences, taking us to hell directly.




Beware of them. Beware, save your children from them, save the whole community. The whole of England has to be saved because if the heart dies the whole universe will die.



May God bless you all.

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.

Ego-less nature will help everyone

So our ego has to be seen, is to be watched in witness state, how it works and how it tries to dissuade us from the right path of movement.



One has to be only careful on that point because that’s the last centre which has to be opened out.



Once it is completely open, you are one with the Divine and your all problems will be solved. Because these problems are so frivolous and has no meaning; they’ll go away in no time as long as you work it out, your Sahasrara.



It’s very nice that today is very special day with all these three stars are coming together, and its special blessing.



If your powers increase, all these people who are very bad, who are trying to capture the society with their political nonsense and all that, they all will disappear. They have no powers, they all disappear.




So, first of all your ego-less nature will help-will help everyone.


May God bless you all.

This world needs Sahaja Yoga

This world needs Sahaja Yoga. The whole problem whenever I see in newspapers, I think ‘Oh God, if these people were Sahaja Yogis then there can be no problem.



But I find that still people are moving about, going round and round. I don’t know! As if they have no brains or have no understanding that where is this world going and who is going to save this world?



I am not here to tell you what you should do in your private lives but you your-self should know to keep yourself cleansed and beautiful. What you have to do to yourself? Some people are so superficial that it does not go into their heads. Sahaja Yoga just does go in to their heads. Very very superficial?



So forget them. I don’t think they can be saved. So forget them. They can’t enjoy. They are worried about some non – sensical things always. So with such people you need not, but there are still so many people, at least I feel 80% people who are seeking and you should give them Sahaja Yoga. This is one thing, the desire of Your Mother that you should now take up Sahaja Yoga upon yourself and go on telling about this to everyone who comes. I mean, I don’t want cheap popularity.



But I do want Sahaja Yogis to be made everywhere.

Devotion is very important in Seeking

In the seeking, one thing is very important, that the person should have a great devotion about it. And also untold miseries you have to go through.





Seeking is when within yourself also you are struggling and outside also you find nothing satisfactory. This is how the seeking has a double edge.





In that seeking, when you are trying to get the Truth, it seems it’s a very difficult thing. But you can’t help it, because you are not satisfied with what exists around you. See the world today, it’s full of strife. All kinds of strife’s are there.




People are fighting for nothing at all - for land; killing human beings. Land, can it create human beings? They are fighting in a very collective manner thinking they are doing a very great service to humanity!





The thinking today of human beings is not deep at all deep, it is very superficial and that’s how you find this world full of turmoil; every day, every minute you can find… they are killing so many human beings.




They are torturing, in a very large scale. Formerly, of course, the saints were all tortured – tortured by all kinds of different stupid ideas, I should say, of something being higher and something being lower; something being good , something being bad.

Peace within

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



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



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



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


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

The Power of Silence as a Guru

I am a Guru, I am a Guru, I am not an ordinary person. I am not on the street, I am something special and on the shores of truth, I have to salvage the people who are blind, who are mad, all kinds of things. In the most chaotic conditions this world is today. So at that time a kind of a silence will come within you.







When there will be any such crisis, immediately you will become extremely silent. But this is again a state I am telling you. So now, if there is something that makes you upset or makes you unhappy, try to reach that point that axis which is just silence, and this silence will make you really powerful because this silence is not only yours.







When you are in that silence you are in the silence of the cosmos, silence of the cosmos. And the silence of the cosmos works for you. You are in connection with that cosmic power we can call it but it's more than that, it is divine power I should say; the Divine power, which is working all the cosmos. So if you just become silent within yourself, know that you are sitting in the kingdom of God.




(H.H. Shri Mataji, 1992, Guru Puja)

Improve the Special Quality in you

And second point is that we think that if we love each other, if we love Mother, that is the end of everything. It's not true, also because you see, your love for Me is there no doubt, and it should be intense, it should be deeper, but the deeper you go into that love, then you will be surprised how you receive a special quality of correcting the things that are wrong around you. Gradually that quality improves. For example, a Sahaja Yogi goes to anybody's house, that house must become auspicious. But such a Sahaja Yogi must have a good heart. If the heart is not good, in the heart there is still anger, passion, lust, greed, then such a heart won't affect. But a person who has purified himself, if he goes into any family, any household, any society, the whole change will take place. The circumstances will change. Things that do not work out will start working out immediately. Like they said: "Mother, as soon as You sent from this Sunday, everything started working out, as far as the television is concerned and radio is concerned." I didn't do anything - in a way! But that should happen with you also.

Increase the Meditative Process – for the Constructive Forces

Now even if you think of Me, it works out. It's the other way around also. But first of all, the meditative process should be increased. We all must meditate. That is very important. Meditate sincerely; not just because we have to meditate, but because we have to be deep, we have to grow within, to express our great powers of divine love, to correct so many things, which you can do very easily, I know you all can do it. There's no need to have big degrees for that, big education for that, nothing is needed. What is needed is a deep feeling of love for the whole universe and that changes. All the destructive forces change their course, and it is then for the constructive forces. But on the whole that works out much faster if you all do that meditation with sincerity, with intensity, with understanding. All right?


H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,

The Himalayas are the Sahasrara that Mother Earth has created for you

"The Himalayas are the Sahasrara that Mother Earth has created for you. This Sahasrara is to be worshipped. This Sahasrara is very great. I don't know if you can see vibrations emitting from it. I am completely engulfed by their vibrations that I cannot see anything else. There are only vibrations and vibrations. Nothing else. Those who are residing here are swimming in vibrations and seem like fish swimming in the ocean of vibrations. You cannot distinguish one from the other. I cannot describe in words the splendour of the beautiful vibrations that are spread here. This is indeed the blessings of the Himalayas .The Himalayas are the Sahasrara of the whole Universe. They have given the whole Universe so much comfort and joy after which there is nothing more to be attained. With the help of this Sahasrara, I have opened your Sahasrara."




(H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Talk at Talnoo, India, March 1985)

The Brain becomes aware of the Truth

So you become the truth and the strength of truth comes in you and then you’re not afraid of anything. You say it out loudly. You say, “This is the truth, I know this is the truth.” People may not accept it, they may crucify you, do what they like, but truth is truth and that truth remains forever and ever, it is eternal. But this brain that we do not think much of becomes aware of the truth. This is the blessing of the truth upon us, which comes to us through our Self-Realization, or we say through our Spirit. There can be complete seven lectures on truth if I go on, but I think I have to see to the other side of it, what else it does.


H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
(1984 ,Public Program, England).

First the connection must be established

Another thing that happens to you is with your attention. Now our attention is outside, the reason is our brain has become like a prism, and the rays that come into us of awareness also are thrown out and as a reaction our attention goes outside. If I tell you take your attention inside you cannot take it, just cannot. Something has to happen inside and that's why when this Kundalini rises within you then your attention is attracted inside and this happening takes place. And then you find that you can enter inside as well as outside. But otherwise you cannot. Many people say that we are praying, now you are praying outside there is no connection, first the connection must be established. So when your attention is outside you react to everything. For example, I come and see these flowers, then I react to it and then I say something, or another thing I see all the time I am reacting outside. As a result of all the kind of sensations we get out of our reactions our attention becomes absolutely disturbed and we get into a lot of troubles.



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
(1984 ,Public Program, England).

If there’s a thought you cannot enjoy

First of all our eyes are not steady, they go on hovering from here to there, God knows what we are looking for. The eyes become impure because we start thinking about things, as soon as we see something we start thinking and a barrier is created. For example there is a beautiful piece something very beautiful you see, and looking at it if there’s a thought you cannot enjoy. But if there is no thought, there’s pure rapport, pure connection, between that beautiful art and yourself, then you just see it and enjoy that joy of the artist which he has poured into it, without thinking about it. Otherwise normally people will think, “How many pounds can I save?” or “What should I do? Should I purchase it or not?” All sorts of nonsensical flippant, cheap ideas can come into your head. Or could be something higher also “This color is not matched with that and this.” But a person who is a realized soul will just see, just like children, they just look, in the same way, without thinking. So the first thing that happens to your attention is that the thoughts subside. Thought is the first problem that has started with ego and now when the thoughts subside then you become peaceful



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
(1984 ,Public Program, England).

“We should have peace” – how can you have peace?

People talk of peace, “We should have peace” – how can you have peace? It’s not possible, is an impossible situation. You see we think by thinking, by organizing, by manipulating, we'll have peace. You cannot. You cannot have peace that way. How will you have peace, when the peace is established on your attention? When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides. After all, the peace is disturbed by the human beings only, isn’t it? It is not disturbed by something else, is disturbed by human beings and now if the human beings are not peaceful, how can you have peace by talks? On the contrary when there are talks be sure that there will be some violent action after that. Always it happens because thought is incapable of keeping your attention in balance.

If people become loving and affectionate..

"If people become loving and affectionate, this soil itself will become fragrant. First thing we must learn to love each other, and not to hate anyone. ... How are we to bring the fragrance to this soil? This is only if the people living 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? It is to make you feel beautiful. All these trees are beautiful to make you feel good, to feel one with the nature. ...Many people dont understand that Sahaja Yoga is not for them only; it is for the whole world. You have to give it to others and you have to bring forth what you call unity of love. In love you dont see wrong things. You just enjoy love. ...Love is the biggest thing God has given to human beings. ...We are all human being and we have a right to love and if you manage some how to love people some how, Sahaja Yoga will settle down. Sahaja yoga is like a tree which requires love as the water. Try this, try around your life and you will find how love pays itself. Not to be seen how much you spend, what you do. Its not you count all those things it is just like an ocean. You become like that typical personality of sahaja yoga. So all the sahaja yogis should decide today that we are going to forgive all the people we hate and we are going to love all of them."

Second chakra is important..

So, second chakra is important, because, in modern times, it is very, very cosmic, as well as active.We become very active, overactive. And we start thinking about everyone, with whom we are not concerned. And bothering our heads. So, today’s chakra is important, because it bothers your head. It troubles you a lot and you start thinking about them. You start thinking: “What have you said?” “What has happened?” “Who is angry?”All sorts of nonsense. You are all Sahaja Yogis. So you shouldn’t worry as to all these people what they say, what they are doing. You should just enjoy yourself.Second chakra you must enjoy. That’s the best way to enjoy Sahaja Yoga.Then your Swadhishthana is satisfied. Nothing can disturb you. As Swadhishthana is really looked after.
