The huge task that lay ahead - that She saw reflected on Her face in that early photo.



After coming out of that beautiful experience I looked around and I saw human beings so blind and I became absolutely silent. Then I desired that I should get the cups to fill this nectar, but I saw all stones.    
(Sahasrara day, Paris, 1982))
This story is taken from Caleb Williams:
There were so many extraordinary aspects to those times with Shri Mataji in the early days. In some moments She wrapped us all so expertly in Her maya and ‘play’, that it was indeed possible to become totally relaxed, swept up in the feeling,
that to be in Her company was the most normal, natural experience and it was perfectly OK to chat, joke, even watch television with Her, or sip Cokes and eat samosas. 

       But there were other times when, in an instant, She became the Goddess, and promoted the deepest feelings of complete humility, gratitude and an astounded sense that we were in the presence of an absolutely Divine personality. 
    One time we were looking at some early photos with Mother. There was one, a very soulful looking portrait, taken of Her in the early 1970s, a beautiful black and white image.
I remarked on what a lovely photo it was - I think it was the one of Mother standing by a beach in a white sari. 
This photo was taken after I opened the collective Sahasrara Chakra. In this photo I even look a bit sad,’ Shri Mataji said, when She looked at it. Danya and I fell silent and waited for Her to say more. She had become very reflective. ‘I look very serious in this photo. At that time I even stopped eating and became a little thin.’

    Then Mother continued, ‘From birth I knew I was the Goddess, and my job was to save and raise up this doomed humanity.’
My sister Danya and I began to realize we had gone from a casual conversation about photos, to sitting at the feet of Adi Maya.
Shri Mataji then expressed Her feelings on gazing into the collective Sahasrara Chakra of humanity. 
She said that before this had happened, She always felt confident that when the time came She would be able to find a way to do the work of saving us all.

     She described to us both how it was only when She gazed inside the collective Sahasrara and saw the twisted and tangled nadis there, that revealed all the problems of the human condition, that She realized how hard the job would be, and how complicated, and damaged the human race had become. 
It was these emotions - this realization, of the huge task that lay ahead - that She saw reflected on Her face in that early photo.
    There was nothing that either Danya or myself could say after this. All we could do was sit in silence feeling such profound gratitude for Mother's amazing compassion - Her ability to take on impossible burdens so that all of us could transcend and live better lives.



«1982:...So you become the master of your brain, because actually the Spirit is the master of the brain. The more you start bringing Spirit into your attention, the more the Sahasrara increases in its size and the light of that expands and you become more powerful Sahaja Yogi. 
Shiva Puja, 1987; Ganapatipule
This is the greatest thing also for God Almighty to say, see that this has happened so that He can, for the time being,
postpone His anger and wrath, so that He can forgive human beings for their mistakes, their obstinacy and childish pranks. 
Let the man rise to see the glory and the greatness of his Father!
Let him have so much of power that he can bear the compassion of God!.
Nargol, Spot of the Opening of Sahasrara, View to the See
Let that Sahasrara develop into such dimensions that it can execute the working of the Divine through his own conscious mind. 
(Sahasrara-Day 1982)

  • This story deals with Mother's response to an early photo of Herself taken not long after she had opened the collective sahasrara chakra. Given today's date, 5th May and significance,I thought those who missed it might enjoy reading it now.
