In your own way think it - Dissolve yourself completely into this dynamic force.

That is the best way you should say that now you have dissolved yourself completely into this dynamic force. So I'm sure next time when I come I will have better news, much better news.
Otherwise normally I go to any place they say:" Mother this one has disappeared another has gone away, fourth  one has run away and a fifth one is missing."So this should not be such, it is your responsibility to see that SahajaYoga you work it out, for yourself and for others, with love. So, for a Mother, to see that  all of her children are going away: I have said quite a lot!
It's not easy to say much on such an occasion, but I have to gather up courage and time and decide that I have to tell them all about it,because now it is your responsibility to work it out. It's your responsibility.
In your own way think it, what can we do for Sahaja Yoga? In everything you can see Sahaj. You will get ideas pass them on, write them down, write your poetry, so many things can be done by all of you and there's
no time to be wasted any more it has to be a very fast job, because this universe is standing on the blink of its' destruction, and we are the only people who have to save it.
- So it's emergency for us. In that emergency one has to know that the nature of Sahaj itself is working out everything, but if this does not work, in right time, then we'll have to have another world, which is another problem.
So we have to think seriously about it and understand the essence of everything and understand yourself why you do such and such things. Once you start this method "not this, not this, not this", I'll be not surprised that your growth will be very much faster, very much faster and I'll see you as very well established Nirvikalpas, very soon. I bless you that you mature very much in your spirituality.
1988-12/30: What Can We Do Alibag

Welcome to the new C.C. - and more

And I have to specially make a very important request to the women that in these modern times, they are the ones who are going to save the world.
Not the men. : they have done their job before.

Now it is for you to save, with your understanding, with your compassion, with your sacrifices, with your wisdom and the innate love, not only your children, your husband, your family, but the whole world. It is a very good opportunity for all of you to do your bit. It has been a tremendous experience with some of the very great Sahaja Yoginis we have.
Some of them have achieved, really, as you can say, the constant state of bliss. Really. Some of them have. In the constant state of bliss. Even if they are coming, immediately I can feel they are coming. The whole atmosphere waits for them. The whole cosmos, just in complete respectful attendance, is waiting for their arrival.
There are women of that quality. And we have to take them as ideals, and not the stupid, useless, vain women. We have to take them as something great.
This is what I have to tell you that the potential within you is very great.
They have to be humble, they have to be sweet and sacrificing because they have a power to do it. It's only the women who can do it. Not the men. Men can't do it.
They have other sweetness about them. Men have some other sweetness about them. But the women have that intelligence which can build the whole world into a beautiful world.

1988-06/19: The Role of Women, after Ekadesha Rudra puja, Shudy Camps, England

A dream: what we have to find out

Taken from: SY friends and family :  A dream of one yogini from South America  The second week of July 2011, a lady of 35 years dreamt :

" I'm in a seminar .
There is a photo of Mother , while on-screen we can see organizational projects presented by leaders ...
Mother comes out from the photo and rushes on the stage
Then, on the screen we can see Her in terrible aspect, fighting with asuras, her hair like Mahakali. Then She says "this is not so!"
Some leader takes to the stage to talk to Her, and asks: "Then, what is the responsibility ? . Mother looks at his heart, but this heart is not clear, and Mother sends him back down.Then,  we can see Her in terrible aspect, fighting with asuras, her hair like Mahakali.
Then,  the dreamer's husband goes to mother and asks: "then what is it ?" and Mother answers :
"You have to find out"..

"Know that any amount of My blessings .. is not going to work out, unless and until ..."

Patanjali on 3.5 coiled snake

 It's not only that you are here to worship your Guru; you may worship many-a-times, maybe the vibrations would flow, maybe that you might get filled with that and you feel elevated, nourished.

 But this nourishment has to be retained within ourselves, so always remember then, whenever you are worshipping any principle outside, you are trying to worship your own principle within yourself.

If you are a very mundane type of a person, very ordinary, cannot create a beautiful couplet or a beautiful sentence, or a humor or a joke, or a beautiful painting or a beautiful tapestry or a beautiful house; if you lack in creativity you will lack in your Guru Principle, because a guru has to create out of ordinary people something extraordinary. 

Shirdi Sainath

 He should be able to create a new personality out of an old personality which is decayed. 

So the first principle you have to understand within yourself, that you should be able to create a new personality in a person.

And the new personality has to be a special personality of very unique combination of compassion and dynamism. So it is important that in your creativity you have to use the energy of compassion.


So today 
when you are worshipping me 
as the Guru, 
you must know 
that 
any amount of my talking, 
any amount of my giving you blessings or anything
is not going to work out, 
unless and until 
we really develop our own Guru Principle, and the depth. …. 

But if you do not establish your Guru Principle, 
you know of angels 
how they have fallen down 
and gone 
forever.

So be careful: 
it's easy to be an angel 
but difficult to maintain it. …

Guru Puja, Lago de Braies, Italy July 23, 1989

1990-09/23: Navaratri Puja: "When I say Sahaja Yog, you know that is the yoga of your attention with My Feet - that's what it is"

 

Now the description yesterday as you read of the Goddess, that Her hands were throwing all the arrows with such a speed that as if one felt that She was dancing. - is a fact, no doubt, but you don't see that. 

You cannot see that every hair of Mine is like an arrow, and it works so tremendously. 

But to you I am just sitting here quietly, just like you as you are sitting. 

But it's not so; it's something much more. 

Now when they show a lion or a tiger as My vahana, then you have to understand that they show actually they are - actually they are. (...) So even to get a vahana of this kind, this was to be evolved from amoeba stage to this stage; otherwise he would not have been here.

In the same way you are evolved, and in you are these, all these vahanas also there. And they work out very quickly all that you want. You desire something; you'll be surprised, immediately you'll find it works out. You ask for something, immediately it works out. But there should be a complete dedication in Sahaja Yoga. 

When I say Sahaja Yog, you know that is the yoga of your attention with My Feet - that's what it is.

But if you are still moving with your egos, and if you are still thinking on those lines that "We are something and we can start our own Sahaj Yog, we can work out this way and that way," or "My wife is like that, my child is like that, my husband is like that" - you have to give up all these problems on one side; otherwise you will not ascend.

It was not difficult for Me to give you realization, because you were just ready for that. 
But to keep your light on, you have to work hard...

the further work has to be done through you people because you are the channels

But in some countries I find the people are just deaf and dumb. They can't understand Sahaja Yoga. 

For My program they do come, and afterwards just they disappear.  

This one I think is also:

Sahaja yogis are responsible for this.

 The way they go about, the way they want to do Sahaj work is not Sahaj.
Must be something definitely wrong with the whole thing, and that's why it's not working out the same way as it is working out in many places.

So I have to tell you that all this is there, that Adi Shakti is there, and all this has happened through Adi Shakti. But now the further work has to be done through you people because you are the channels, you are the one who have to transform people. Now everybody should understand and know how many people we have given realization. We have to think about it: what have we done for Sahaja Yoga? 
...
...But I would say that also in Sahaja Yoga I've found there are all kinds of funny ideas growing here. Like certain rituals they'll take up. Then they prescribe certain rituals, they'll talk about it, and kind of a power-orientation is there. They want to oppress others, and they want to take over and frighten people and behave in such a manner that, as if they are very good. Some of them start saying that "Mataji said so. This is Mataji's ideas." By their own power-orientation they manufacture things and talk like that and... But ask them, "How many have you given realization?" The first thing is, you must determine is positivity: how many you have given realization? Is just talking about others, criticizing others, talking about the defects of Sahaja Yoga, seeing in the Sahaja Yoga; is I would say, is still a very preliminary things that have happened before, and it should stop now.
(AdiShakti, 1998)

Of trustees, leaders.. jokes and control

That sort of a thing should be that anybody becomes a leader is just a joke.
Otherwise, I have seen people, you make them the trustees they just ride on the horse.You make them something, leader, they ride on the horse. All sorts of things happen.

You make them the trustees...

That should not happen any more, and the leaders must see to the point that they have to become really great evolved avadhutas. Otherwise they cannot impress people. Avadhutas are the people who are extremely compassionate, extremely kind and for you I would say you should follow the example, Tukarama, because he was such a kind and a sweet person, but he said things which were very, very deep and very straightforward. So the forthright behavior need not be so sharp as to cut everybody through. 

Tukaram.

Forthright could be such that it guides the person in the proper way and the plying of a person in this ocean of maya becomes easier. That is what is called the leadership.
Now leadership should not be challenged. Some people have too much ideas from outside, because they think they are something, you see, they know. They are administrators or they are journalists or they have worked as some sort of a politicians or this and that, and they try to control the leaders, is a wrong thing. So now do not try to control the leaders. If there's something wrong I'll correct them. This is very important, because again and again I tell you that once you start challenging the leader I get the pangs of it. So, please do not do it. If you do not want to hurt me, do not challenge the leader as he is.

1985-02/09: Bordi Seminar Final Talk  
---------------------------------------------------

1985-03/17: Birthday Puja, Melbourne, Australia: 

Left Vishuddhi is the problem today of the West, I tell you. All these problems are coming from left Vishuddhi but which is not, in no way is that they're subdued; on the contrary any moment this left Vishuddhi can blow in again into the ego.

From where else...?

You see, I have seen this in the West, very common. People are walking straight forward, everything is all right - even in the cities of India we have seen it - you make them into trustees, suddenly they jump on the horse. I said, "From where did they jump in the horse, from where else this ego has come?" That was all stored up here, you see: as soon as they become trustees the whole thing comes back, and they are sitting like John Gilpin on a horse, going fast. And I start looking at them: where are they going? They were just there - disappeared!  Vanishing tricks! Just can't understand why it happens. But after penetrating into the problems - because I see, just going into this hall you get the left Vishuddhi.

My comment: Mother is not here any-more. She had never let happen that Sahaj got spoiled by wrong doers (once they got lost in their egos and on their horses, She corrected them or they just left !). WE have to assume collectively what "is called leadership". Please go back to the words "pangs" and "hurt". 
WE the collective cannot escape from taking some responsibilities, or we could turn into a kind of a final witness-state, unwillingly  witnessing the falling-off of Her work. Matter exists in order to share love, to convey love, we all have to deal with matter,... matters, situations, and issues.

ACTION without ego: this -is surrender!

{Shri Buddha} So He's the one who is on the right side placed, going to the left side. He's the one who has said that "You have to be desireless," on the right side. What a contrast! Specially in the West, I've seen people do little bit "Huh!" -  What have they done? - "I lifted that spoon." And with the spoon they sit down.  - And they are surprised to see Me that I'm not tired.
But I don't do anything. I mean, I have no desires.
Actually I never do anything; I'm just Nishkriya, I'm just doing nothing.
So, when you become that instrument, surrendered instrument,
when you know you are not doing anything whatsoever,
then on the right side you achieve mastery. 
How you achieve mastery?
You don't do anything, all right?
You go to any shop and you get a jackpot, without doing anything.
You do not desire anything and suddenly you find, which you have never ever thought of is before you, there, sits there, available for you, just have it.
So, with the desire to achieve something, when you work out, it also has a reaction. Every action has a reaction. But  action without desire  cannot have reaction because there's no desire already.

(...) But once you are without ego  - means you have surrendered yourself-    no one can cheat you. Can you understand that? No one can cheat you because there is some higher force, which is looking after you.
This is the way we should understand Buddha. This is ... we should know our Buddha qualities.
This is how our ego can be dissolved. When you say, "Mother, we surrender to You"
That just means that you give that horrible ego a complete holiday, it means that.
That is how this ego disappears.
I think all your, your... just now, your Agnyas are opened out, most of you, somehow. And then you'll laugh at everything; you'll make fun of yourself; just enjoy everything. 

• 1991-08/04: Shri Buddha Puja, Deinze, Belgium

My comment: To surrender does not mean firstly "to surrender actions or responsibilities". First is to surrender this ego, means the idea that there is an "I" that acts, and enjoys the results. Once this "I-ness", this "dropness" (as distinct from the Ocean), disappears,  then action is fruitful, because a "higher force" is allowed to look after us. Shri Mataji has travelled and worked so much, and She stresses the point that She is not tired, because there is no "I" that could have any desire. But,yes, a tremendous compassion to give Realization. But this is another story.

” We are surrendered to Her, and, as surrendering, we’ll get everything." But what are you surrendering?"

Contents: 
...THE REASON I FIND THAT IN THE WEST PEOPLE GO ON CATCHING

....WE ARE NOT HERE ONLY JUST TO HAVE GOOD TIME
...WHAT ARE YOU SURRENDERING… WITH ALL YOUR ARROGANCE?

...I HOPE YOU'LL PAY FULL ATTENTION

• THE REASON I FIND THAT IN THE WEST PEOPLE GO ON CATCHING

…You know that by puja you excite the Chakras within Me and you get lots of vibrations, and you achieve, suddenly, a height in your awareness. You do achieve that, but after some time they say that "Mother, again we come down." Also, they were saying that “When we go to India we are all right, and when we come back again, we come down."

… So ashram is here for a collective living, but collective living of spirituality. … Then only you'll be helped – because if you do not come to the ashram with this idea that you are going there to ascend yourself, it will make no difference whether you stay in the house or you go in the ashram.  

(SB:How is it that so many Ashrams have closed down since 1990? – if they were meant to help to deepen Sahaja yoga? What did happen?)

...So there are two types of meditation, two types, where one is the meditation where – we can call it the antarmana– that we meditate inside ourselves, to see for ourselves what's wrong with us, and how we have to correct, what we have to do about it. And another is bahirmana, is outside, how we have to live outside. You have to have a discipline, which is not imposed on you but, very happily, which you have accepted and have imbibed. …  

( SB:Do we have any discipline? How serious were we about meditating, say, before a puja in Cabella?)

So, for the antarmana it is important that you all should meditate, …

That is the reason I find that in the West people go on catching, again cleaning, again catching.

Every time I come, {I} find somebody is suffering from either, of some sort of a conditioning, or say, some sort of a baddha, or sometimes it's ego, or something.

It comes and goes. It is not something that is detached permanently. …

• WE ARE NOT HERE ONLY JUST TO HAVE GOOD TIME

Day by day, you should be at a much higher state, and this new breeding has to come within us that we are Sahaja yogis,and we are not here only just to have good food and to have  nice time or nice meetings, but we are here to become those unique personalities, which are required to raise the humanity to a higher state. 

(SB:Again:  how much time is dedicated to solve this issue, in Cabella, be it because of  us individuals, be it the agenda of the organizers?)

So you have to be now responsible for yourself.

You have to look after yourself and you have to tell yourself: .    "Mr. So-and-so, Mrs. So-and-so, please now behave yourself."   Otherwise, Sahaja Yoga is lost to you. It's not going to help you much.

 We might increase in quantity, but quality-wise we'll be missing, and one attack of negativity can finish such a quantity that we think is too much – it has happened once! 

(Let’s follow carefully this explanation:are we dangerously placed?)

• WHAT ARE YOU SURRENDERING… WITH ALL YOUR ARROGANCE?

So now, all of you must develop that dedication to yourself, to find out what's your problem, and how you have to correct it. If it is done every day, I can assure you, you will have no problem of any kind. Your thoughts will stop, your problems will be solved, and you'll have no catches at all, because you have washed them off.

.../... Many people say that

"We are surrendered to Mother, and we are surrendered to Her, and as surrendering we’ll get everything."

But what are you surrendering? -Is that a clean heart, or a heart full of all kinds of wrong things? Or is that the intelligence, which is a very superior type of clean intelligence? Or else, are you coming out  with all your arrogance? So, though there is the Ganges of Sahaja Yoga flowing, still you have to have the depth of a pitcher. A stone cannot fetch any water.

(Obviously, “surrendering” might NOT be the solution when WE are responsible, and expected to act. In the Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna assured the victory, but Arjuna had to fight)

.../…So you are not achieving all this for your ego. You are achieving it because you are a seeker, and now ,you have become a Sahaja yogi. So it is to be understood that it's not something like an advantage in money wise, or something that I have to have a power, this, that - because, if you do not meditate, your attention will go to such things.

Immediately you'll start thinking:"Can I become the leader?" All right, if not: "Should I debase the leader? How can I insult him? How can I fight for that? How can I do that? How can I work it out this way?" You try to insult also.

If not possible, you might use violence sometimes,anger, because you are not yet, I should say, that much evolved, so much mature, so much wiser.

(SB: Obviously, the divisions, since 2003, 2005, 2011, the conflicts, the , world-wide, national, local splits in the Sangha, even physical fights as have occurred in India, have a cause: the level of meditation IS NOT what it should be in order to fulfill Mother’s wishes. In the following, Shri Mataji admits “and we have many”)

• TO WARN YOURSELF

So now, what you have to do is to … at the very first shot when you get up in the morning, you first say that "Let me see, what is my responsibility, as a Sahaja yogi?"  …"Mother, if I have any ego, please take away. Mother, if I have any conditioning, please take away; because I'm a seeker out and out, I don't want all these things."
But if you do not meditate,then this Mr. Ego will  secretly crawl upon you,and you may try to become the leader, or some sort of an assertion you'll do,some sort of a stupid ego actions, which we have many in Sahaja Yoga.

If you write them down, you will not know how to stop laughing.

So to warn yourself, I would say that the only way to protect yourself is to do the meditation in the morning and evening, and also to keep yourself in complete bandhan.

Yours is a very important role and a very important time, extremely important.

You have no idea, that in the history of spirituality

no one could do so much as you can do.

So, if you really do the antarmana, if you really see inside yourself, while meditating you see yourself, your chakras and all that, and then you find out this introspection, "Why am I like this?" Just separate from yourself, see for yourself, "Why am I like this? Why I did like this? Why do I think like this? Who am I?" 

-these questions, when answered, you will know all your worth, your value. 

Christmas 2010, Genova.

• … I HOPE YOU'LL PAY FULL ATTENTION

I hope you'll pay full attention to what I've said here today, with full attention on your inner being projecting out, like a witness to yourself.
( Mother is not speaking just “by the way”: She stresses that this issue is fundamental)
Now, we are here to gain our spirituality, not to gain money, not to gain positions, powers, nothing. We are here to gain our spirituality, and in that spirituality, it's all there. All the satisfaction, everything is there. …

( and NOTHING else)

1991-04/06: Shri Bhavasagara Puja, Brisbane, chosen extracts

+This time, your SwayamBlogger dared write a few commentaries and raise a few questions. Feel free to write your comments or your answers.

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.’ 

Little Nirmala Salve

    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. 

At a function of the
Shipping Company,
in the 60'es

     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)

• Story taken from: Caleb Williams [SY friends and family group in FaceBook 5:58am,2011, May 5]:
• 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.
