Diwali 1985: "But it's only a Sahaja Yogi which can ... finish the hope of this world."


Actually, only after Sahaja Yoga started, the real Diwali is taking shape. We had many beautiful lamps, and we had lot of oil to burn, but there was no spark, to enlighten the deepas (= lamps). And the wick - as you call it- is called as bati in Hindi language- is like your Kundalini, so the Kundalini had to meet the spark. The beautiful lamps were all a waste, purposeless, pointless. And this is the great blessings in modern times, that so many lights are enlightened and we are having a Deepavali of human hearts.

 When you become the light, you don't worry about the lamp, how it looks, how it is to be made, it's all done. You just have to worry about the flame, about the oil, because it's the oil that burns and gives light. In Sanskrit language- which is the language of the Gods- the oil is called as 'snigdha'; is something that is soft but is snigdha. And 'sneha' means 'friendship of love.'
This love is the thing that gives the light. If this oil is not clean - contaminated, you get the smoke - but when it is pure, then it gives a brilliant light without any smoke. But when this oil is fragrant then the light gives the fragrances. …

"Listen carefully"(Diwali 1985)
a Saint has to be gentle, gentle in the way the moonlight falls upon this Earth. It is light without any burning in it, no scorching. That gentleness one has to develop, out of the oil that is the love in your heart, which lubricates everything, which removes the frictions and soothes.   …
In the same way a Saint, a Sahaja Yogi, has to move very smoothly in the society of Sahaja Yogis. It is with the Sahaja Yogis, I said; not with the non-Sahajas. Nature reacts to anything that is foreign. It throws out anything that is not Sahaja. In the same way, a Saint should not accept anything, anybody who is foreign to Sahaja behavior.  

When it deals with the matter, with the materialistic people, then it acts with the greatest wisdom, as the tip of a root.
 It moves with majesty, embeds itself into the Mother Earth going round all hard rocks and holding them together; it makes the tree to stand up erect. The sign of life is that it goes against the matter, the one that is jara. Like the tree goes against the gravity; like the great human beings have lifted their body against the gravity in a straight posture. In the same way, if you see, the flame goes against the gravity. Nobody has heard of fire going from the top floor to the ground floor. …

You may do any amount of meditations, use My Photographs, come to My Pujas, but if your attention is imbedded,  it's like you are standing on a crocodile,  trying to get into a boat. Now, that doesn't mean when a flame burns it gives up matter, but it gets detached and it burns it.   So this body, this mind, this ego, this superego, is all to be burned to keep this flame burning all the time. You don't have to give up anything, but to use the same thing for a higher life, and that is what should be the aim of every Sahaja Yogi.
Actually after getting Realization, you just start spontaneously giving because you are the light. But respect your light and the light of others. The darkness is too much and we need so many lights to remove this darkness. These lights are to be maintained, to be looked after, to be loved. As you know very well, I cannot do it alone.
For example the source of electricity, if you use to burn, you may have a big explosion. It has to go to various bulbs to give a nice, spread-out light. And you are the channels, you are the ones who are going to express Me. I am just the potential energy, as the energy is coming from somewhere which is stored, and if I asked you, you would not even know where it is stored.   
It is through your behavior, through your pure lights, through your fragrance, people are going to know God Almighty.They are lights no doubt, but can blacken the Face, if there are impurities, blacken the Face of the Divine, blacken the Face of your Creator. And that is what, one has to be careful, that we are not blackening the Name of God by our misbehavior.Now listen to me very carefully:- if there is no light out of the lamp, it does not blacken nor enlighten.But, if there is a light, it can blacken, as well as enlighten.It's only the Sahaja Yogis who can blacken or enlighten the Name of God Almighty.
Say, for example, if you have a fake man, he doesn't blacken the Name of God because he is himself black, so nobody's bothered about that. If there is a person who is teaching about God or talking about God, about religion and making money out of it, he blackens his own name. He does not blacken the Name of God Almighty. The Name of God, cannot be blackened, It's ever shining.   
"...Should not be ruined"
 But it's only a Sahaja Yogi which can form that cloud to cover It.
They only can finish the hope of this world.
They only can bring the real destruction of this world
They will be held responsible. And they should be punished in time, so that the Name of God should not be ruined.
For they have been given the right to enter into the Kingdom of God, others are outside. They are the only ones who can abuse the right. Those who are outside this building cannot spoil it. You have the special privilege to enter into this beautiful building. You have got this right because of the great things you have done in previous lives. And if you now want to spoil it, you'd better understand that you will be very severely punished.  
"...can also burn"

The light which can enlighten can also burn. But this light will burn all those who try to burn the Kingdom of God.   So, on a Diwali day ,let us know that we should have the lamps burnt , in such a way that it has purest of pure love in it.
Not a lip service, lip service of love, but from your heart, it should pour, like the Nature pours all its blessings upon you. Then, wherever the flowers of your feet will touch, the Nature will blossom with joy. There will be a Deepavali.
