«If you people won't like to work it out,
then the responsibility of destruction
will be on your head…»
«But living things, which are spontaneous, which are sahaj, you cannot say time. In the same way this process of freedom; you have the maximum freedom, so one could not say what time this will happen, that people will be available to receive this subtle knowledge of divine Love. »


Swayamblogger selected some extracts for us to deepen in our sense of  freedom, 'free-will', and choices.

1979-1202: Guru Puja, Dollis Hill, London
But, you are my children. I have made you after the image of Jesus Christ, of Shri Ganesh. All their powers are available to you. And this is one point I fail sometimes: I don't know  how to remove your inertia. 
Because, you have not practiced Sahaj Yoga. You have not gone into any practice. You got it very easily cheaply. You do not understand its value. So you just want to have as a side track, you know? 
You have to discipline yourself, unless and until you discipline yourself, I leave it to your freedom, because I have always believed in the freedom of my children, because I think they are not that low type, that I should put freedom on them as a, sort-of, a bar, that they should not use their freedom. 
You're absolutely free. If you want to go to hell, I will give you a chariot, to go direct. But if you want to go to heaven, I'll give you a vimana - an aeroplane, to go there. So it is for you people, to become dynamic, and to have confidence within you. You know every Chakras; you know every rising of the Kundalini you know everything. 
Take it upon yourself! Then a person who takes it upon himself, you see I...... I can be very angry with all of you. Very simple! But no I have to get the job done.

1985-0206: A New Era - Sacrifice- Freedom- Ascent, India tour, Bordi:
Now after that, we are here to get our freedom, to get the freedom for our spirit, to make our spirit free from our greed, lust, from your anger; from our conditionings, from our terrible ego, from the body being enslaved by comfort. I must say Gandhiji had a special charm. I don't know how he managed. He was like touch of Midas - touched anybody, he became transformed, you see. And he was an extremely strict man, very kind to me, to children, but he was an extremely strict man, he would not tolerate any nonsense at all.
Shri Nirmala Devi in her youth, times of 'Freedom Fighters"
Throughout, if you study the way all these people were brought up, not only for freedom of, or independence, but even before that for spiritual life, anywhere, there is one thing very common, is sacrifice. And the consciousness that you are doing something great, consciousness that you are part and parcel of the whole - such a big thing, such a big work, such a noble cause!
...So now have respect for yourself! Raise your heads! You are the ones who are going to fight. You are the ones who are responsible. Prepare yourself, prepare your body, prepare your mind, be discreet!
This is my, I would not say "request" again, this is my order.

"An entire avenue of freedom"
1986-0823: Shri Krishna Puja, Schwarzsee, Switzerland:

So the so-called free will, I'm happy Rustam has told you about it, is nothing but your ego and superego, because you are not in the center. 
In the center you have nothing but freedom, that's all, nothing but freedom, nothing like free will, - freedom, complete freedom. There's nothing like will, or nothing like bhoots, nothing like bondage, it's entire avenue of freedom. Then, this freedom is the knowledge, this freedom is the love, this freedom is the discretion. Then, you say what gives you freedom and others freedom equally. Then, you act which doesn't bound you nor anybody else. Because it is knowledge, it is discretion.

became 'Belos', a poet and musician
It does not matter what age you are. I've seen some also very old people singing beautifully and enjoying Sahaj Yoga and make me enjoy also. Life is for us to enjoy, nothing else. But, because we are not free people, we can not enjoy. There is no bondage of any evil thought which keeps you down. It is so subtle, but penetrating into every that is gross. 
Fra angelico

1993-0606: Shri Adi Shakti Puja, Cabella
So, angels have no freedom. 
Angels are made like that. They are fixed. They don’t know why they do it. Animals also don’t know why they do certain things. They just do it, because they are bound by nature. They are bound by God Almighty. 
They say Shiva is Pashupati, means he controls all the animals, He’s Pashupati. He controls all the animals, so all the desires from animals come in, but they don’t repent, they don’t have ego, they don’t think that this is wrong, or that is good. They have no karma problem because they have no ego, because they have no freedom.
... So when this Adam and Eve business started, She thought that they will be just like other animals or angels, what’s the use? They must know what they are doing, they must know why they are doing it. They must have the freedom to understand what is the knowledge. 
... /... But living things, which are spontaneous, which are sahaj, you cannot say time. In the same way this process of freedom; you have the maximum freedom, so one could not say what time this will happen, that people will be available to receive this subtle knowledge of divine Love.

kills His ennemy (from the Mahabharata)
Knowledge also could be very dry. We had terrible people in India, who were busy with the reading and with the citation of mantras, this, that, and they became so dry, so dry, they’re just bone structures, they were, just bones left. And so hot-tempered that they looked at anybody, that person would become into ashes. I mean, is this the way you have come on this Earth, to do all the tapasyas, everything, just to make somebody into ashes? But that’s how they thought that they were very great because they looked at somebody, that person becomes, disappears or becomes ashes. Bhasmisat they call it. But there was no idea of benevolence in their heart. So, the first thing that is achieved through this divine Love is your benevolence. Now benevolence itself is also a kind of a very misguided word. Benevolence means whatever is good for your Spirit. Now, as you know the Spirit is the reflection of God Almighty, so when the Spirit in you starts reflecting itself in its full beauty then you become the giver, you are no more a person who has to take anything, you just become the giver. You are so fulfilled.
.../...But some of these things I don’t know that clearly because of one thing. The relationship between you and me is of course very intimate, that you should be in my body, but if you people are not meditating – is very mundane thing I must tell you – Dhyanagamya – if you are not meditating, then I have no relationship with you. You are not my relation. I … you have no right on me. You have no question to be asked, 'why this is happening, why that is happening'. So if you do not meditate – I always say meditate, meditate! – I have nothing to do with you : are no more there for me! It has no connection with me. 
Then you are like all other people. You may be Sahaja yogis, you might have got your Sahaja Yoga degree from your leaders, maybe, I don’t know, and maybe that you are regarded as something very great. But, if you do not do your meditation every day, evening, morning or evening, you will be really not anymore in the realm of Shri Mataji. Because the connection is only through Dhyana, through meditation. 
I have known people who do not do meditation. Then they suffer, their children suffer, then something happens; then they start coming and telling me. But I see clearly that the person is not meditating, I have no relationship with him. He has no right to ask me anything.

In the beginning of course, the meditation takes some time. But once you will know what is meditation is, how you enjoy my company, how you are one with me, how we can have a rapport with each other. There’s no need to have anything else in between, like writing letters or maybe some sort of a special connection, nothing of the kind!
Only thing that is needed is the meditation. In meditation you grow. In that spiritually you become higher. And when that happens, you start, in a way, I would say that when you reach a state of that, I should say, maturity in Sahaja Yoga, then you don’t want to give up your meditation. 
Because that time, you are absolutely one with me. That doesn’t mean for three hours, four hours you should do meditation but it is how much intensely you are with me is important; now it is not how much time you are with me. Then I’m responsible for you, for your children, for everyone. I am responsible for your ascent, for your protection, to save you from all your negativity.
So it’s not like a father who will directly punish you, it’s not that, but it’s just “All right, you are not my relation, I am out.” That’s the only thing that can happen. If you are not meditating, all right, I cannot force you, I have nothing to do with you. You may have other relationship, outside, outward. But this inner relationship, by which you get your benevolence, you cannot have without meditation. I’ve been telling all of you, please meditate, please meditate every day. But I think people are also not understanding the importance of what I am saying, because they tell me, “Mother, we don’t meditate.”
Freedom means freedom to ego, not to wisdom:
« ...in this time, you must take (=people) as much as you can. Otherwise, you will be thrown out of this evolutionary process
I told about it:  in 1979, that till 1979, this work has to be done, 
and by the year 1999.
That time is not far away,  
Satya Yuga (the era of truth) will get fully matured. 
Now, it depends on your wisdom, otherwise Kali Yuga will also flourish because of you only.
If you people won't like to work it out 
then the responsibility of destruction 
will be on your head…»
