Learn from children

You learn from children: how they watch things, and how they work it out, how they think. You will be amazed, how sensible they are, and the very sensible things they talk.




Like I met a child, so the child told me: “I love the moon.” I said: “All right. Now, what’s wrong with the moon?” “Nothing, but it hides itself under the clouds all the time.” So, I said: “Why does he do that?” “Because he walks too much. So, he’s tired and he has to rest all right. And that’s why he does it. If he doesn’t walk so much, if he keeps steady, he won’t have to do it.”




Just imagine! A little child watching all these things! And, I mean, I was amazed how the little child knows what is right, what is wrong or how to behave, how to understand the proper way of doing things.




They are not taught anything, they are not conditioned, nothing. But they know how to behave. And they are always looked after by the Divine.




I have known children, who have fallen from great heights. Nothing happened to them! And also, no snakes and all these things don’t bite children.




Even, they say, that tigers never try to eat children. What is it? What is so powerful about it, that children are so safe and allowed to grow?




But then they grow into such horrible creatures who are unchaste! Who are running after women or women running after men, is a common play these days. And it is unbelievable how can people who are even sahaja yogis do this. Of course, they don’t. But some of them they are still in this kind of a mess.
So, when you have your Ganesha already established… Just before creating the whole Universe, the Mother created Shri Ganesha. If He’s there, then life is very easy.




Such a society is very easy to live. Such a friendship also is so easy. Because there’s nothing that is possessiveness or any kind of a, you can call, perversity. When you have bad eyes for women, bad eyes for money, bad eyes for possessions, Ganesha is fallen.




He just knows how to enjoy. Enjoy everything! If it belongs to him, it doesn’t matter. It belongs to me, it doesn’t matter. But you should know how to enjoy the beauty of it. And that’s enjoyment when you have within yourself, you don’t grow old, because all the time you are enjoying!

Vow of honesty

The only message for you today is that you have the light within and you navigate in that light and that is going to provide you the strength. Whatever you may wish, you are welcome. Look, we have achieved our swatantrata. Swa-tantra- try to know you swa.




Now I want my children to be born. They should be realized. That is why you must realize at the beginning, today is a great day. Take a vow today that neither will we commit any dishonesty nor be in company of the dishonest or be scared of them. God is not there with them. God is with you. If you are good, the God is with you.




Those who are born in this land of India- of course, it was not merely for the sake of fighting amongst each other and dying. Great idiots- we fight each other and then die. You must tell the people there is no use in fighting.




“Well, my dear brothers, what are you fighting for? What do you want? Why? After all, what more do you want?” But nowadays the demands are like “Well, I need that dress, I want that type of house and not this.” Are we going to take along all those belongings to hell?



At this moment, like those who had become Sufis, you too are all Sufis because you have cleansed. Now all of you should write poems- on honesty. This dishonesty needs to exit in the first place and secondly, there are several issues that need to be taken care of. But first of all, do not commit dishonesty. No one is that poor in India that he needs to commit dishonesty.




I am saying that there is a blemish on our country and it needs to be wiped out. And you are Sahaja Yogis. You can do it. You have the light with you. With this light, you can spread the light everywhere. Instill courage in everyone, assuring them that everything is all right.




Particularly those who are young amongst you, who have friends, all of them should think about the possible ways that they could contribute towards honesty.

You will be Protected like Prahlada

You are powerful enough. You have such powers within you that if someone endeavors to trouble you, you will be protected like Prahlada. No one could destroy you. You are so much protected! No such thing could destroy you.

So there should be no hatred or anger towards anyone. You should have a feeling of compassion towards those who are victims of evil tendencies. Think of transforming them. If you become forgiving then it could workout.





Small child Prahlada is a big example. He challenged his father who was a demon! But Prahlada was saved and his father got killed! Death is not the main point. The person falls too low. People with evil thoughts fall in the abyss. So do not give place to the feelings of hatred and jealousy. Cleanse yourself immediately.


May God Bless You

your innocence will be protected

You have to be innocent. There’s no need to be very clever and cunning. And you will be amazed how your innocence will be protected!




If you are innocent, you don’t have to worry. There’s a power – the third eye of Shiva who looking after you. Wherever you are going, it is with you.




That doesn’t mean that you become stupid, doesn’t mean that you are not practical, all that is taken over, all the practical side by the power of Shiva. His guidance, His love, His kindness, you can see at every every step.



But first of all watch your steps. Are you aggressive? Are you troublesome? Do you say harsh things to others or are you humble? Are you gentle? And if you are kind, He is very much pleased.

Let us put ourself in Bandhan

( enjoy the full video : Guided Meditation by Shri Mataji.NITL DVD code: 298)

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.

The Promise of honesty

Today– the day is considered auspicious because several great events happened. For example Sitaji returned home, during the period Ramachandraji, during Krishna’s times and several other great events that took place. They were all worked out by these great realized souls.





That is why, in the first place, you must take an oath today “We will not commit dishonesty any more for sure and if anyone does, then we shall ensure that he is caught.” But I find the blacks are at war with the whites in this country- any one fighting with the other. What they want is India to be divided into fragments. It is not going to make any difference. How is it going to benefit? It is only when you remain honest and you possess a good moral character.





Whatever you have learnt from the British, there is nothing worth learning from them. They are all in a bad state these days. But we have to save our own country and also to save the entire world. It is a great responsibility. You have been realized and the light has come within you. Yet if you want to jump into the ditch, then what can anyone do? Everyone should come up together to make an effort.




I want the Sahaja Yogis to constitute a committee. In case you come across any cheating, you should report to the committee. Then let us see what the committee does. In this way, you will be recognized. In this way, you will be elevated to higher positions.




So first of all, you should not become dishonest and also prevents other from becoming. This is very important. It is a great blemish on your country. There is adulteration in the edible oil, adulteration in the ghee. At every nook and corner you will find people laughing at us in mockery. No one has faith in us. In fact, the best people are in India. Nowhere, so many people have not been realized. They have not earned any punyas. Therefore, it is nobler to earn punyas than to earn money. There are innumerable poor people. Look at them.




So today is a very auspicious day and also a day of anand. Why joy? Because on this day we are blessed with heaven and we desire to be in heaven only. But cowards can never ascend to heaven. There is no need to be scared of anything.




Well, what on Earth is going to happen if you earn few paise less or more? All of you have become rich. I can see that. I have been coming here for the past seventeen or eighteen years now. All of you have become richer than before. The standard of living now has become better than before. But from morning until evening there is dishonesty, dishonesty and dishonesty. Thus the path is laid before you. All right, just take a resolution today that we shall not do any dishonesty and, if there is anyone, then we shall collectively oppose him.




Why were you blessed with Sahaja Yoga? Why were you given Realization? It was because you will emit light. If you do not possess light within, then how can you enlighten the outside? And focus that light to realize whether you are helping the dishonest? Nothing happens if you earn a little less or more. If you are honest, then God helps you. Why do so many people die in our country and nowhere else? The reason it is that they are to go to hell.




So you should know that if you commit dishonesty, then you have already established your first step to hell and you don’t need to utter lies in the second place at all. You must speak the truth. The man who speaks the truth becomes unique. If he practices Sahaja Yoga, then it can be remarkable. Like today, as you are remembering the Sufis, similarly people will remember you. You don’t need to do anything- only expose those who are dishonest. That is important.




People are protesting here over the issue of the dumping of garbage into the Yamunaji. Don’t throw this or that. Now, is this also to be taught? I have been to so many countries. Nowhere is waste disposed into any river. Then why are you so lazy? There are so many facilities available over here, like you can hand it over to the municipality or dispose of it elsewhere. But if you are accumulating the waste yourself, then what can you do?

CHANDRAGANTA - One Who bears the Moon around Her neck

"So many powers Mother has to have to protect her children and to look after them. These powers are all there, working relentlessly all the time-24 hours. So anybody who surrenders to Mother, these powers express themselves and try to help you out of your problems. But first thing is surrendering. If you are not surrendered, if you are not in the kingdom of God, then this is not the responsibility of the Mother. Then it might be that some negative force might take over and destroy you"

THE KAVACH OF THE DEVI

Guru Brahma, guru Vishnu, Guru Devo MaheshwarahGuru Sakshat Parabrahma, Shri Mataji Nirmala Ma.Tasmai Shri Guruveh Namaha.

Our Guru is the Great Mother. All Her Shakti and Yogini aspects are available for Her children. By reading The Kavach of The Devi, we mobilise these powers to purify and enlighten our Koshas (our mental, emotional and physical bodies). Thus by the Power of the Gurumata The Atma becomes The Guru of the body. While reading the Kavach of The Devi one should put one's attention on the aspect or the part of the body which is protected. One may also, while reading, pause between the Names and silently take the corresponding mantra, for example:
Om Twameva Sakshat, Shri Chandi Namoh Namah

The Kavach should be read aloud. It washes away the 'catches' and bathes the children in Divine Vibrations. May the wisdom and compassion of our Satguru flow through us and reach the four quarters of the earth.
JAY SHRI MATAJI!

Amen In the Name of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,the merciful, the compassionate.The protection of Shri Chandi.Salutation to Shri Ganesha. Salutation to Shri Saraswati.Salutation to Shri Guru. Salutation to the Deity worshipped in the family,that is Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.May there be no obstacle.

16) Salutations to You, O Goddess, of very dreadful appearance, of frightening valour, of tremendous strength and energy, the destroyer of the worst fears.

17) O Devi, it is difficult to have even a glance at You. You increase the fears of Your enemies, please come to my rescue. May Goddess Aindri protect me from the east.

42) O Goddess Jayanti, any place that has not been mentioned in the Kavach and has thus remained unprotected, may be protected by you.

43-44) One should invariably cover oneself with this Kavacha (by reading) wherever one goes and should not walk even a step without it if one desire auspiciousness. Then one is successful everywhere and all one's desire are fulfilled and that person enjoys great prosperity on the earth.

45) The person who covers himself with Kavacha becomes fearless, is never defeated in the battle and becomes worthy of being worshipped in the three worlds.

46-47) One who reads with faith every day thrice (morning, afternoon and evening), the 'Kavacha' of the Devi, which is inaccessible even to the Gods, receives the Divine arts, is undefeated in the three worlds, lives for a hundred years and is free from accidental death.

48) All disease, like boils, scars, etc. are finished. Moveable (scorpions and snakes) and immoveable (other) poisons cannot affect him.

49-52) All those, who cast magical spells, by mantras or yantras, on other for evil purposes, all bhoots, goblins, malevolent beings moving on the earth and in the sky, all those who mesmerise others, all female goblins, all yakshas and gandharvas are destroyed just by the sight of the person having Kavach in his heart.

53) That person receives more and more respect and prowess. On the earth he rises in prosperity and fame by reading the Kavacha and Saptashati.

54-56) His progeny would live as long as the earth in rich with mountains and forests. By the grace of Mahamaya, he would attain the highest place, that is inaccessible even to the Gods and is eternally blissful in the company of Lord Shiva.

JAY SHRI MATAJI!

Navratri - 4th Night - Chaturthi

KOOSHMANDA Whose Void contains the Universe

KAVACH OF THE DEVI

So we have made it short now, just take a 'bandhan', it is the same thing as Kavacha you see. Realised souls, if they take a bandhan is the same thing. Whatever you have said here is done, yesterday's and today's, everything that has been said, all these Raksha Kari is done in one stroke

But now we should know how many of us take bandhan before going from the house, before sleeping or before doing something important. How many people take bandhan. Very seldom you forget it. Very important, going on a journey, going on a road, better take a bandhan, not that we are all right, Mother is looking after us, is not the point. You must take bandhan before doing all these things.

If you get an accident, then know that you have done some mistakes, or something otherwise, normally there should be not an accident, means there is something still lacking in you.

Which was promised long time back by Markandeya, now you have achieved it. This he had promised 14,000 years back that when Mahamaya will come, She will do this work, that it will happen. We must realise that we are getting all the promises fulfilled for us. Now, we have also certain promises to be made and we have to ask a question. Have we fulfilled our destiny in life or not?

This is a question we should ask, and we should not roam about in smaller petty things. Think of a bigger vision about yourself.

All these books have talked about Sahaja Yoga. But we must bring all religions in their true form, in their pure form. This is the work, one has to do, is to bring the religions in their purest form and not to adhere to them, whatever form has been created or done by human beings.

These religions are not created by human beings but by incarnations. So, human beings have made them artificial, they have made all kinds of nonsense with them.
We have to remember that religion in it's true and pure form. We have to respect and they are all just the same. If you come to the truer form, they are just the same, like the different petals of the flower. One may not look the same as other, but the whole thing makes a flower.

Goddess protection over left and right side

Today we are going to worship the Goddess. That's the, first the left-side programming is with Her, but later on at Sahasrara She is the Adi Shakti. And on the left side whatever She does is already written, as you must have seen, that She is the memory, and that She is the wisdom; and that She protects you is shown when She uses Her power over the ganas.





There are ganas that are, as we know, responsible for all kinds of corrections in you. These are the ganas which act through the left side; as we know very well that cancer is caused by the problems of the left side. And on the left side are these ganas, which are completely in unison with the Devi's powers. She doesn't have to tell them, She doesn't have to guide them, they are already built up like that. And these ganas are the ones which I should say, target, they target the diseases and cure you.





We have cured many cancer patients and many left-sided people through the ganas. But ganas won't listen to anybody else. And Ganapati is their leader, I should say, their controlling power.






So if your Ganapati is all right, then problems are less. But if the Ganapati is not all right, then all kinds of problems can come up and they can torture you. This is one of the thing I am so particular about, that we must get our Ganeshas corrected.



The other day I received a big envelope with letters saying that “Mother, difficult to control ganas.” But difficult to control Ganapati Himself. So what should we do? - we get into traumas.






A simple thing is, at such a point when you are in a trauma and when you cannot can overcome this defect of the Ganapati, then what you should do is to meditate. Meditation is the only way you can overcome ganas.





The first of all is the upbringing of the children, and then atmosphere, as it exists. With these two important factors you can do well with the ganas, but the problem is that human beings get lost and they don't look after their Ganapati.




So as you worship the Goddess you are also worshipping Shri Ganesha, who is the power behind Her.




But the greatest power that is belonging to the Mother is your protection, protection from all kinds of things. All the left-hand side protections are there. They are described, as you must have learned on the “Devi Mahatmyam” what a protections She gives you, so tremendous in Her protecting power. And this protecting power gives you understanding, how kind She is and how, I should say, how very, very protective of you, extremely protective. She’ll guide you all the time that you should be protected, on the left side, and through Her ganas She looks after you.






But on the right side also. Those who are on the right side, the Goddess puts Her powers to put you right, to bring you back to normal conditions, to humble you down and make you understand that you are a child of the Mother, and you have to behave like a child.





But if you go to extremes, then you develop all kinds of complications of the right side also, as you develop on the left side. And the right-side problems these days are very, very common, which I have seen people cannot get over. So many diseases like Alzheimer and other diseases come up later on.



First it starts with the liver. The liver is the main point, as we’ve fallen into the trap of the liver. If you are thinking too much, if you are futuristic, if you are aggressive then the liver goes out, because you use liver’s power to do all that. And when your liver power is over, you are finished with liver power, you can develop so many diseases, so many troubles, that you cannot overcome it. It’s very difficult.





Of course with Sahaja Yoga so many people’s liver has been cured, so many people, and it has been doing wonderful work as far as the liver is concerned. But one should humble down and try to keep the liver all right. So the protection is also built in your body, by ganas on the left-hand side and by reactions on the right-hand side. But the greatest thing is the blessings of the Mother, the way She looks after you, the way She loves you and the way She cares for you, which you should never take it for granted.





You must meditate. You must meditate, it’s very important. No question without meditation you can keep yourself all right, it's no question. Meditation is the most important thing which must be followed, because that's how you come close to Her vibrations, come to Her, I should say, to Her nature. Even animals are so sensitive to Mother, very sensitive to vibrations. Animals are, but human beings have their own understanding, have their own freedom, have their so-called intelligence, and they fall a trap to it. They follow things which they should not have.

Mother what do we do to be innocent?

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



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



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



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


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



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



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



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

It will flow through your Sahastrar inside your being and completely revolve around your whole being and transform the inside into a complete Chaitanya Shakti, a complete divine power. Allow it to come in, accept it. Accept it without any fear. Let it get in. Every moment, every moment keep awake. It’s a very precarious time that we are up to.







I have only two hands you can see that very clearly. And though Mr. --------- says that I can do everything, I can do everything but not to make you do something. Your will, will be respected throughout. Every other thing can be looked after except for one - that you should be a perfect machine, a perfect channel, a perfect flute for my lord to play that tune of love. It is for you to clear out all your seven holes. It is for you to clear out your hollowness and to be complete within yourself and He knows his job. He is the artist. But you are the instruments. And the harmonious music from so many souls can fill the ears of these evil people and can penetrate into their heart and put love into them and may be that they themselves will give up their evil ways and fall at the feet of love.




Krishna is to be born within you today. A five-year-old boy went to kill Kalia. That Krishna is to born within you. Went and sat on the Kalia’s Sahastrar and was pressing with His feet and all the people were seeing this great drama of Krishna ’s dancing on the Kalia’s Sahastrara. Krishna is to be born within your being. When you are Krishna , you are not going to see me. Let us now go to the state, which is beyond words, beyond thoughts, into the realm of thoughtless awareness where the divine is pouring its blessings. These people have decided today to have a Puja, and you know what happens to Me when you do My Puja. So with all those problems that will be facing later, I would like all of you to be attentive about the Puja and to take full advantage of that. With this Puja you get the Mother’s protection, to begin with. And My Chakras, when they start moving, they give you special powers of love and bless all your Chakras and fill them up completely. So I would like you, though some two people are coming to do this, all of you to feel that you all are doing it - and you can feel it that way with oneness. And the blessings of My being will flow to you automatically”.

It is we who forget to leave all the problems to Her

You want Mahakali to protect you. In your discrimination, in your mistake, you might do something wrong, may do something that is not good for you. It could be very dangerous for you. But She’s the person who guides you how to avoid all the dangers. Now She protects your life. She protects your body. She protects all the organs of your body. She’s the one who gives you all the security of life. In Her realm you feel completely secure.





You are never afraid of anything……. If you are under Her beautiful guidance and Her blessings, you will never feel afraid to do anything. You’ll never do anything wrong also. As soon as you’ll try to do wrong She’ll hold your hand. She’ll really the guiding person. She’s the one who actually gives us our existence. Without Her we cannot exist because She is the one who is the power of Shri Shiva…… She’s the one who relaxes you because She takes over all your responsibilities. She takes over all your problems. She’s the one who solves all the problems. It is we who forget to leave all the problems to Her.







If you just leave problems to Her, all your problems are solved. Not only that, but you really feel blessed. It’s not only physical. Also it is mental that She makes your mind absolutely free of worries. She doesn’t worry and She doesn’t want you to worry. If you worry, the She tries to show that, by your worrying, you are denying Her, you are not accepting Her. Worrying is something that is very common and people take great pride in saying,” Oh, I was worried.”






How can you be worried when your Mother is Sakshat Mahakali? She can kill all the demons. She can finish all of them. She knows how to manage things and, when you are like a child before Her, how can you worry about it? So your worries are finished. She worries about you. You shouldn’t worry about yourself. That’s the point of it. Her security is so great, She’s so secure Herself that She gives you all the security that you need.







You can hold on to Her Feet. You can hold on to Her image or to anything. You can even pray to Her. Many people are being cured only by praying to Her because She cures you…. The main thing is that we are ourselves worshipping Her. She like that all Her children should worship Her, that on that level She can be one with them. She can give them Her compassion, love and protection from all the evil.

To cross this Bhavasagara

So when we read about the Devi, about Her incarnations, how She came on this earth to save Her bhaktas, people who are trying to ascend, to cross this Bhavasagara, how She worked hard, how She fought the devils, how She fought, She killed the demons single-handed, She took upon Herself the responsibility of making the people cross the Bhavasagara. Guru gave you the strength, taught dharma, but She’s the one who brought you out.



Even those who were dharmic could not do it because of the demonic pressure. She’s the one who fought single-handed with Her powers of destruction. In Her love for you She fought, She brought you to this level. And then She took a milder form of incarnation. Even during the time of all the gurus She took the form of, as you know, Janaki was the daughter of Janaka. Then Fatima was the daughter of Mohammed Sahib and Nanaki was the sister of Nanaka. In those forms, these Powers sustained and nourished the Guru Tattwa and later on or sometimes simultaneously They incarnated in milder forms to help human beings to rise.




So today is the day of thanksgiving. As Guru Puja is a day of thanksgiving to your Guru, the One who has counsel you, the One who has told you about the truth, the One who has taught you the truth and has given you Realization. And the Devi Puja is a thanksgiving where single-handed, just like a very loving mother, under Her sari She’s protected you, fought for you, fought with every enemy that is around, every sort of problems that existed and ultimately brought into Sahasrara level and then gave you Realization. It’s a real thanksgiving to the Mother. So we can say Navaratri’s like a Mother’s Day where you give thanksgiving to Her, which was just relentless, continuous working for Her children.

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

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



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


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



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


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



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

Kundalini is a Mother

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

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



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

Necessity of doing meditation in Sahaja Yoga

Every day you should do meditation. Those who do not do meditation are capable of falling down because meditation is like putting oil into the lamp. Those who do not meditate, think they can do without it, are sadly mistaken. They have to meditate morning and evening. The problem is everything comes so handily, so simple that they don't understand that meditation is very important.


Not you, but there are many I know who get Realization, who don't meditate and their style is different. Their nature is different.

Meditation is such a soothing thing ... a beautiful way of connection with the Divine, that all your problems get solved in that meditative moment.

If you are not meditating, you are not following meditation, then maybe your light will go down. It won't give sufficient light. It's important, very important to find out about yourself, about others in the meditation.

How to do meditation, many people ask. Don't do anything, just go into thoughtless awareness. Try to go to the thoughtless awareness. If you can get into that condition of thoughtless awareness, you can do your job because that's the point where you are with the truth, with the reality, with the joy.

When you meditate try not to make some sort of a function out of it - no. Meditation is something silent in yourself, silence in your thoughts and going to that deep ocean which is within you, itself. But supposing you don't do that, if you don't meditate I can make out immediately those who are meditating and those who are not. It's not difficult for Me.

Those who do not meditate are always hesitating. They are confused. They can't understand. And that's why meditation is the most important thing.

Just like a light burns with the electricity flowing in it, in the same way meditation is a continuous availability of the Divine Force. That will reduce all your agitations. Not only that, but it takes out all the negative thoughts. It takes out all the discouraging things. And when you are meditating like that, thoughtless awareness, then you will be amazed how you are helped from within and without. It's a terrible power that works, this thoughtless awareness.

So those who do not meditate cannot go very much far with the advantage of Sahaj Yoga. If you are in thoughtless awareness, what happens to you is that you get the confidence, complete confidence of divinity. You know you have it.


Meditation will give you security.... It will give you are a real enlightenment and a complete connection with the Divine. Without the connection of the Divine, what's the use of doing Sahaj Yog?...

"This is mine, this is mine, this is yours." ......

Today Is the 6th day of Navaratri.



How can you, when the Goddess has given you the quality to love? Very, very common nonsense about it is that human beings are very jealous. But as Sahaja Yogis, you should not! Because that quality that the Goddess has given you is of loving. That quality should be shown; on the contrary you are very jealous. That means you are not a Sahaja Yogi, blessed by Shri Mataji. No! If you are blessed, then youíll have no jealousy whatsoever. And this jealousy sometimes it goes to this extent that: "Now we are, say, from Cabella. So you are from Alvera. Finished!" These, so close to each other, just like the two nostrils together. But there will be jealousy, there will be jealousy about: "Why not, Mother, come to my country, if You can go to that country."


So this comes also from the ignorance that: "This is mine, this is mine, this is yours." This jealousy starts in such a funny manner that we do not realise also that She has given us the power to love, tremendous power to love. Inauspicious powers are..., cannot be, but auspicious, dharmic powers to love somebody, means without any lust and greed. Without any jealousy. But the human mind has developed itself, so cunning that it is proud that it can be jealous of someone. Out of this jealousy, only greed comes in, as I told you. Itís a fact.

Because you feel jealous, so you want to buy the same thing, then you must compete with others. If somebody has got a job better than yours, then you must compete.

These things are all destructive and the powers of Goddess are constructive. She gives you all the powers that are absolutely constructive.

Nine forms of the Goddess

Now you are worshipping today the Durga or all the nine forms of the Goddess. She came nine times on this earth according to this that she fought all the people who were destroying the seekers, who were trying to make a mess of their lives, and these tortured saints when they prayed to the Goddess because none of the Gods could do anything and Sadashiva is never interfering with what the Goddess is doing. So they worshipped the Bhagavati and then the incarnation of hers came nine times according to the need of the time.


So every time you find her confronting people who are extremely arrogant, self opinionated, thinking no end of themselves and the Bhaktas are tortured by these self opinionated horrible rakshasas

"Why these Sahaja Yogis should be granted this great boon?"

And all your powers after Realization of giving Kundalini awakening, or of curing people, or of talking about Sahaja Yoga, or spreading it. Any, any kind of thing that you want is all granted - is all thrown into you. And as you know there are many saints, who have said, "Why these Sahaja Yogis should be granted this great boon?" So one can say it's a whim. All right. There is one more thing. I was happy to learn that the great poet of this country, Blake, had prophesied about me. And it is so beautifully done, that He said that England is going to be the Jerusalem. This is going to be the pilgrimage. The venue has shifted. And then he has very beautifully; have you got the thing to read? Oh, haven't brought it.


But what reading, that He has said that first the furnace will be burning in Surrey Hills, where I came first, and then He has mentioned Lambeth Vale, where we have got our Ashram. Where the foundations will be laid, we have laid the foundations. And that Jerusalem is going to be in England, not in India. And you are the people responsible for this Jerusalem.


Today is the day for which in India everybody is doing Puja. And all the Sahaja Yogis today, in every center there is a Puja today. And they are all thinking of you people. So you have to receive the supreme bliss today, the supreme bliss. Only by surrender. Today the vibrations are tremendous. Keep all your doubts and all your nonsensical things outside. Just receive it and get it. These things are going to help you, nothing else. Because you don't have to give me anything, but receive it yourself. Receive it as much as you can.
