" If it does not work , something is wrong with you."

...So they might be intelligent, they might be well read, they might be able to discover something out of matter, but they do not have wisdom. And the wisdom can only come through honest introspection. But it should not be also, "I'm catching on this chakra, I'm catching on that chakra." Not that. But, "Why am I not seeing the point? What's the matter with me? Why can't I understand what is Sahaja Yoga?"
Even when you have become Sahaja Yogis now for years together, still these old nonsensical things stick on to you, these ideas stick on to you. Why? Why do we not have that purity of Divine Discretion, which sees everything so clearly?

So I think we need collectivity first of all, and secondly meditative honesty. Just to meditate, sit down before the photograph, do the meditation - no!
 Meditation should act, should work.
If it does not work, something wrong with you. Absolutely something wrong.

If you feel everything is working all right, everything is miraculously showing its presence, presence of the Paramachaitanya, then you are all right.
But if it is not so, if there are problems, then you're not, you're not a Sahaja Yogi. Sahaja Yogi is the one who is completely connected with this Paramachaitanya.
And for that, age is no bar. I have seen girls who are only sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years so wise. Even small little children who were with Guido, I talked to them. I was surprised at their wisdom. So very wise, so beautiful. They understood human nature so well. Small little children about, they were at the most, ten years of age. And nice to talk to them. So that wisdom if they can have at that age, now we are also, all of us are about ten year old Sahaja Yogis, minimum, nothing else. But still we are struggling, ambitious and wrong priorities. There is no need to have any ambition. Ambition is an imaginary thing.

But Sahaja Yoga is reality. Everything works out. Everything sorts itself. Everything plans out. But to feel that if this is so, as I said in a small room there are twelve people, it's something for the good. Why not? We have to be there. If I've lost the way, supposing, then I would say I have to go this way.
This time we made a ticket which was little wrong according to everyone because we had to go through Phoenix. But nice because I felt the vibrations of Phoenix, I had to go that way. I had to see that. So always to find something smooth, the way we want it to be smooth, is not the way of Sahaja Yoga. Whatever we get it, we see the hand of the Divine behind it.
What is our purpose of life?
Our purpose of life is to save people, save the Americans, minimum of minimums. Not the world, but at least start with Americans. That's our purpose of life. That's our identity. While doing that, there is Paramachaitanya which is going to look after you completely.
But first you put yourself before everything else.
"I must have this, I must have that, I must have this." -It won't work out!  Then, "I have this problem, I jumped into bankruptcy, I had that problem, I just couldn't manage."
-Because you have put other things before your "self"! "Self" means the Spirit. According to people, "self" means selfishness, but according to Sahaja Yoga, "self" means your Spirit.
So today's lecture should not be that we hear from one ear and goes through the same one, but should we little bit ponder about it and listen to it again and again. I have great hopes for you. I have worked very hard in America, very much. But it has never been that state where I could say, "Now I can trigger something." Even if there are few Sahaja Yogis who are very deep and good, they are pulled down by others - by jealousies, by this, by that. - It's not the number that you are but the quality that you are, first of all.
(1990-05/28: National Puja Camp Marsden, San Diego, USA)

Today, your SwayamBlogger allows himself, if not comments, at least questions, just in order to "ponder about it". May I be forgiven by the readers if this sounds quite school-like. 

1. How do we know that our meditation is not " all right"? - or is all right?
2. Under which conditions does the Paramchaitanya look after you?
3. What is the meaning of " while doing that"?
4. Can a Sahaja yogi be pulled down?
5. Do those teachings have anything to do with the situation that we are witnessing those days, n America and in the rest of the world?

",,,number of yogis...have switched OFF discussions about leadership"

• SwayamBlog quotes 2 comments found on the web... and comments
  

  • first comment:
  I have talked with one yuva from India yesterday who lives in Pune and asked him about the situation. He was laughing a lot and telling that there is no real split in the collectivity but just with the leaders who still cannot let go of their egos and superegos. He said that people are not concerned with their stupid power games, they just go to whatever center and enjoy the vibrations and collective meetings. Everyone knows the situation of the council and leaders and he said now nobody is taking them serious anymore and everyone is making fun of them... so the split is only in the leading parties but not at all in the whole collective who do not side with anyone of these people..
  

  •  second comment
•  I got a similar feedback from a yogi in Calcutta. He told me that whenever there are sahaj programs, all yogis join together although there might be preferences in "leaders". And that in many rural areas, yogis are not even aware of all this, they meditate together, try to give realisation. Isn't it a bit the same i our countries ? There is a number of yogis who have switched OFF discussions about leadership? But still of course there are collective issues to solve and nevertheless for the sake of the collective consciousness at least there should not be fights. But otherwise, wouldn't be pure ignorance of these issues also be a way of sahaj leadership. To attract attention, isn't it the fire that keeps these issues going on and on ?

  One good news, and one bad .

  Good news, yogis turn to the real thing, which is the couple meditation/realization, ignoring the power struggles. Though we heard of some quite violent situations in the meetings in Pune some months ago, and the access to Sahaj facilities is not always easy, as was the case of Pune Ashram.
  

  

   The bad news is more like hidden behind those reports. The trustees (whoever they might be) have the hand on the finances, on the assets, the facilities, and the organization of the seminars. A yogi may enjoy going to a meeting.
  But to whom is he going to pay his contribution?Which seminar is he going to attend at Christmas? Do we not have some kind of paper or badge for an affiliation? This is what has been happening in Russia. discrimination against who was supporting the other group, and many people remained vetoed from attending the official programs.
  After the "Arab Spring", after the "Indignados", after "Occupy Wall Street", after the "Anna Hazare Movement", shall we witness some "Sahaj Spring"? ( this is just a question)

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

Today we have assembled here to celebrate the Diwali, the Deepavali (=row of lamps) . 

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.

"can also burn..."



5 000 visits...... 6200 ...

When the author started this blog in April 2011, he didn't think of welcoming ever five thousands visits. I decided to publish it because we do not have generally real discussions, for instance in Cabella, about those deep issues such as the aims of meditation, responsibilities, collective leadership... But, instead, since 2003, we suffer division and rivalries.

Confusion, "Bhraanti", is dominant in the Sahaj Collective.

So I try to go back to Mother's teachings, which appear to have been "constant", through the variations and combinations of Her travels, and the different audiences.

A solid frame of Wisdom is woven here, only we have to go back to the Talks, and listen that they are meant for us, and for us just HERE and NOW! I believe that, in many ways, we,  as a Collective, have forgotten to listen and to pay attention, otherwise, this confusion would not have prevailed.

On the occasion of the 5000th visit, I refreshed this page

“…free people. Nobody has to govern you.”

1992-02/13: Picnic with Yogis, Black Mountain Peninsula, Canberra...

“… … Australians are, that way very spiritually good I should say, whatever may be the reason, because of Nature or whatever. 
But certain things are missing in them. 
One is the social: how they relate to each other. That's rather a missing point. So this is a problem. So, in collective, they are not so good. 
Individually they are good. Individuals are very good. 
But into collective, something goes wrong with them. Also, if you have a leader  - so-"called", leadership is so-called!-   sometimes, they become slaves to the leaders. I mean, so much things they did, these leaders, horrible things!

Management book, India

None of them reported it!
 Nobody told me anything!
 I was shocked, that these leaders are trying to dominate us, they are doing these things,they are making money. Nothing: so frightened! Like a jailer and a prisoner's attitude!This, nowhere I find like that.

Yogi: Are you talking about Sahaja Yogis in Australia?    
Shri Mataji: It happened. Horrible things happened. 
Yogi: In the past.  

Shri Mataji: In the past.. Even now, collective - take it- is like Melbourne, is no good. We have to do a lot there. But leaders are- that's a myth! You have to tell me. Of course, you are free to tell Me. Nobody can stop you from telling Me. Unless and until I discovered it, nobody told Me.

So docile! I was shocked. 
You are free people. 
Nobody has to govern you. 
Very much frightened!

"Chicken run"

Yogi: Well, I only know Canberra, and certainly there is no one domineering or exploiting us in Canberra, that's for sure. And I'll tell you next year if it's changed.
Shri Mataji: After all I'm Your Mother, and if they tell: 'Mother said so'. You can always ask Me. 
And you must know My Style. I would never say certain things. 

"Hunchback of notre-Dame", Frollo

There's nothing like priesthood, 
nothing like hierarchy in Sahaja Yoga. 
I was surprised even very intelligent people, were like that: because you were so frightened, that's why they become like that. At least you can write to Me. 
They were collecting money, without asking Me, for some sort of a purpose I don't know what. I never knew for years. That's not good. I didn't receive and when they asked Me questions I was surprised. They said: 'We sent so much money to You'. I said: 'When?' There's nothing hidden in Sahaja Yoga. Nothing! Everything is an open book. All accounts, everything! Open book! Of course, if you ask Me I don't know, because I don't keep any accounts, I don't keep any money. But it's all there. 

Tian An Men, 1989.

It's checked and audited, and if your leader is not doing that you should find out and let Me know because that's also your duty.

Yogi: It's surprising that people wouldn't tell You because You are so approachable. - Shri Mataji: Just imagine!

Yogi: I suppose it's a question of balance between You as a Person and You as the Divine and now we sit here and we chat with You, You have your lunch and we talk about anything. -Shri Mataji: It's … to Me also.   -Yogi: At other times it's in a different mode, we must balance it.

Shri Mataji: So many times I've said that leadership has no meaning. It doesn't go into their heads. See we have to establish a new society, of complete freedom within you, freedom from drugs, freedom from any bad habits. A pure life. Nobody can intimidate you. Every time,  I had to find it. 

Yogi: Mother, there were quite a few people from Melbourne who had written letters to give to Stephan to give to You. I was wondering whether they had come through?

Shri Mataji: No: if you think, whatever your problems are you can solve well and good. Otherwise you must write to Me.

Yogis: We did. We gave so many letters...
Stephan: Shri Mataji, we gave You some in Madras. There were three quarters of the collective had signed and written letters to You about problems we have in Melbourne and we gave them to Stephan to hand over to You.

Shri Mataji: That's why I am here now.

Yogi: Thank-you Mother.

Shri Mataji: It's rather complicated. I'll have to play some tricks with them.

Against Corruption:  "if any one is dishonest we will expose him."

"Do not compromise with wrong doings, ..."

“This incarnation can be wasted completely…”

And in this lifetime you have to grow. And in this lifetime you have to achieve the highest. So the time is so very short! And the background is so dark. You are surrounded by people who are pouring out morning till evening destructive concepts.

Now, you are the people who have to shoot out much faster than all of them. But a kind of a lethargy, though you understand that your awareness is very different from them, a kind of a lethargy, which does not accept it the way it should accept Sahaja Yoga. Every one of you must think every day: What have I done for Sahaja Yoga today? But you are all still very busy with your jobs, of making money, of have relations with people who do not matter at all in Sahaja Yoga. We have to make an all out effort to rise to that point, that whatever we know, we believe in, we act on that and become one with it. You can do that with concepts, but not with reality, this is the problem, I mean ... I will explain this point.

 (1986-0504: 16th Sahasrara Puja,)

…You should not waste My time, never. But it’s to be seen now that if you do not value yourself as realized souls, you can not value My time also,  or what is Myself.

-          This incarnation can be wasted completely because of this materialistic attitude.

In these modern times, I don’t know what's gone wrong with human beings because the most important thing in your life is to ascend and to grow. Take a big vision of the whole thing. Why this universe was created? Why you were created as human beings? What was the need to do all these things? For what is it done? If you have a very big vision of the whole thing then try to locate your position: “Where am I?

And then, “How the Divine has selected me and now I have become a Sahaja yogi?”

So now, “What is my responsibility?” that, one has to see!

But, on the contrary, I have seen people who are saying have a transfer. So they’ll telephone and ask, “Mother, should we take our seat or not?” That shows they have no value about themselves and no value about Me, both ways. Because they are asking such small things, such silly things, that is impossible to understand how could Sahaja yogis ask such questions.

Shri Nirmala Devi Salve as a baby

In the perspective, we can see the Goddess. She comes on this earth in different forms at different times to save the seekers of truth and to work out the ascent of the seekers of truth. Can you imagine? -A very big difference in the incarnation of the Goddess before Kali Yuga! While now, it's a very different thing that you have come on this earth to become the Sahaja yogis. You have to have a body, a mind, feeling, everything which is just charged with spirituality, charged with your spirituality. Should be, normally, because : how many years in the past you have been seeking God? Then, that you came here. What a coincidence!

But, when, what is it? When you have such a great advantage that you have come to Sahaja Yoga because of your seeking and now you have found the satisfaction out of it : what is the responsibility that you have - that the Incarnation itself has come on this earth, not only to protect you, to nourish you, and to kill the demons. No, She has come on this earth to tell you about everything that is subtler inside and to tell you what should be your relationship: should be outside as well as inside. You were never connected with truth. You were never connected with this all-pervading power. You were never connected with God Almighty.

(…) There’s no earnestness. There’s no expected any kind of a enthusiasm about it. All right, if not today, we will see tomorrow!  Mother says like that “It's not necessary. It's not important. It's all right.”

So, you satisfy yourself.  But who is the loser? 

-Not Me! I don’t need Sahaja Yoga, do I? 

I am doing all the tapasya for your Sahaja Yoga.

What about you people doing some tapasya about it? So now, what I am trying to say that you have got your realization. Now you have reached a great state of understanding, also of the inner knowledge and also about your connection with the spirit and with the God Almighty. All this you know now. Many things you know.

Despite that, it's not yet what it should be from your heart, from your earnest desire. It doesn’t help at all any one to deceive oneself, never.

So I am not saying something for x, y, z. I am saying for all of you. Don’t try to cheat yourself. You are here with such a great purpose. This purpose is corrective and is the freedom of our minds from all these nonsensical destructive forces and then to spread it all over, talk about it.

My own conviction is this, that something has to happen to Sahaja yogis to realize how important it is to work out something that is within us, which is potential, which is just about to bubble up. It’s a responsibility, whether you are a Jew, a Christian or anything makes no difference. It is all outside. For what you have to do that you have come into a new realm of awareness, into a new realm of a higher life where you know all your inner self, you know all about what is good and what is not.

Shiva Tandava, Ellora caves

(…) But this inner knowledge which you have is something like this – that “I have a inner knowledge about, say about, how to build these things but I don’t do it”. It’s as simple as that.”I just don’t do it! I have the inner knowledge, all right. I have a Ph.D. but I am mad.”  It's like that.

So many people mentally very well equipped in Sahaja Yoga, I know. But as far as the following of Sahaja Yoga is concerned, they are not there. So I am warning you now. It's like Christ has said, “Some seeds which are sprouted fell on the street and dried out and died.”

Now the judgment is going on all the time. When I am talking to you, it's all the judgment is going on. …But what has to work is your faith that “I’m going to do things which are truthful, which are sensible, down to earth and I’m going to keep myself absolutely, extremely free and I’m going to look after not only my inner being but the inner beings of others.”

…

1993-10/24: Navaratri Puja: Re-Introspect Yourself, Cabella, Italy (15 years after this letter)

"...don't consider yourself to be endowed with some sort of a special power as a leader..."

... Secondly, the leaders must tell off people who are to be told off, it's very important.
If you cannot tell off people, it's no use. And that's how the leadership is not going to be respected, if you do not tell off people who are negative.
One negative problem comes in, immediately they'll report it, I immediately know this is his wife or husband must be doing nonsense there. Immediately it is reported, "This is happening, that is happening," is a sign of negativity. Immediately you can solve the problem, give bandhans.
The simplest way is to sit before My photograph and just say, "Mother, please this is the problem," finished!
 There's no need to take a telephone and telephone to Me at about two o'clock in the night. Just do that!
But the trouble is :
you cannot because your system has not yet reached that point.  It's such a vicious circle!
Your system must reach that point where the connection is absolutely there: you don't care for leadership, anything, but you care for your inner growth. If your inner growth is in that position it will happen automatically. This is what it is, very difficult for people to understand that we have to be sensibly placed towards ourselves.

Now about the leaders I would say this about others also, that we have to be very, very sensibly placed about ourselves. Are we sensible towards ourselves? Some old people behave like children, some children behave like old people in the sense that start telling off, answering back, misbehaving. We must know our age, our group, everything, and behave in a manner that is dignified. In a small age also if a child talks like a child, he can be very, very positive. I must tell you that I've had some very, very funny reports about some people which was so shocking that how did they arbitrarily behaved.
And it's only  one thing that is behind, it  is the sense of leadership." I" wanted to be leaders, "this" wanted to be leaders, "that" wanted to be leaders.


There's nothing like leadership in Sahaja Yoga, you don't know your Mother is too capable. She doesn't need any leaders, you don't know Her, better know Her. She's too capable, very clever and cunning woman. She's all-powerful and She knows everything about you, She knows how to handle situations. She's not going to allow Sahaja Yoga to disappear because of somebody's stupidity. Know that! Sitting down here I know about everything about everyone. I may look very simple, it's not so.
That's why I have to tell you that you:
don't consider yourself to be endowed with some sort of a special power as a leader.
Only that you have the power through your Mother,  which you have to assert. So, "Whatever I'm doing is the Mother Who is doing it." And when you do that you'll be amazed that whatever you want will be sensible, whatever you'll ask for it will be sensible - sensible means which is related to Sahaja Yoga. And whatever you do will be sensible. All your dignity, everything will pile up together, but foremost thing and the most important: at any cost you must meditate.

1986-01/14: Sankranti Puja, India    ... starting at 22mn30

- How should we introspect, 25 years after, without Mother speaking

physically to us? 

- Can we just sit  and talk to the Photograph, have reached that point? (or not?)

- Is our " inner growth in that position (that)  it will happen automatically" ? (or not?) (considering what has happened and is  happening, maybe not, neither individually, nor collectively)

- About leadership, what is the responsibility of Trustees, and of each of us,  2008-puja-Gurus  ?

 

"Ah.....My heart just weeps." ( the lessons of 9-11)

 "Ah.....My heart just weeps. At what time I have come on this earth, where I have to see human beings hating each.?...
 All our activities as Sahaja yogis, I never realized were so important. We have to give so much time, not to bother about nonsensical, frivolous things, but something serious that is within us or without. That must be taken out. If I ask you how many people you hate, you may say twenty people...and...[PAUSE]
See the thing, whole atmosphere and all this fills Me with such remorse that I just don't know what are we going to do:  the Sahaja yogis- what are their plans?
Will you please look into yourself and think what constructive work we are doing and what destructive work we have been doing? 
You need a big shock to understand this.

 I like the way we have programs and pujas 
and all that, 
but
if you ask My Inner Being,
I know it is very, 
very, unhappy, very, very sick. 
At this time what you have to do as Sahaja yogis, as Sahaja yogis, minimum of minimum, you should put full attention. ... see, the trouble with Sahaja Yoga is that you all start enjoying yourself and then you don't see around what is happening.
Now I must tell you, I am now in the midst of war between myth... [PAUSE] Is it a, area, is it a, I don't know what should I say, is it within us, there is still lurking some kind of a weakness that we do not try to fight our behavior. I would now request you all to meditate on yourself and see for yourself what is wrong. It's a big shock and to reduce this shock, what can Sahaja yogis do?
 It's a big lesson now for all of us, to see for ourselves:
"Are we all right or we go on hating others?"

Statue in the Met- NY.

I want to touch the deepest part of your heart, which should reconcile. I am sure you all will understand the magnitude of danger that awaits. Maybe there may not be any human beings left, maybe there may not be any children left, because if this kind of thing is working out, it's very difficult, very difficult [LONG PAUSE]
My whole existence gets shaking, gets shaken up. 
You all should see in every nook and corner of life - where is this talk going on? Where are people talking of cruelty? What's happening? You know it.
Whatever I think ...it's not one, it's not two, it's all of us. [PAUSE] The fight that I am having is of a serious nature, no doubt. But if you all can fight collectively, how much we can work it out. [PAUSE] My all efforts, understandings, powers, everything is now in your hands and that's what you should be prepared for. Not by just reading something or talking about it. You have to build up within yourself the power of love. I'm sure with the opening of the Sahasrara, you will do that. But try to read something, to understand something, with the power of love.

I hope you people have understood what I want you to do. A new generation is coming up. All of you, all of you are in My Heart and I love you very much and I want you people to come as soldiers to fight with Me.
I am also told that there are some people who are forming groups.
Extremely negative attitude!
At this time what we need is a complete solidarity. So all such people whom you see, tell them to behave themselves.
No use making them Sahaja yogis.

I am sure, it's really heartfelt desire of Mine that you should become really soldiers of love and peace because that is why you are here. You are born here for that. So enjoy yourself.

Did we progress?... since...1989...

I will be talking to you about all these things, in the beautiful atmosphere here, and on the bank of Krishna river.

We have to understand that the river flows, it makes a sound. It makes a sound to show that she, it exists.

But we are -not only the rivers. We are all the mountains, rivers, everything of the universe we are.

And our manifestation is like a big zero as if the Mother Earth has been emptied out. It is time that we should watch ourselves and see ourselves.

What's wrong with us? - Very important ! I had to say this once again, and again but I don't like to say these things because I love you so much. And I care for you so much. And you people also love Me.

But loving is not sufficient, you have to love yourself and respect yourself. Only your self is going to work out. As Shivaji Maharaj has said, ' Swa dharma Wadwa' 'You must develop the religion of your spirit'.

That's what we have to do. Is to develop the religion of our spirit. And once it happens, we can get the whole world completely emancipated. This is our work.

And if we fail,

then it is the responsibility of Sahaja yogis

and nobody else.

So for everyone I have to tell you that I don't have to please you, you have to please Me.

For a small thing people react. For a small thing they feel bad. If I don't smile at somebody they feel bad. In little, little things they feel bad and they react. If I say anything, they react. So how can anything go into you? If it is such a convexity, how will you absorb it?

It is important that we should try to absorb with humility, with understanding.

 Now you are Sahaja yogis, you know I am Adishakti. You have had photographs, you have known that I am Adishakti. But how much are we absorbing? How much we are taking within ourselves? 

"You know I am..." (24 mn)

This work is much more than anyone of the incarnations had to do. Is much more than Christ, is much more than Rama, much more than Shri Krishna. So create such great people among you. Because I have the power.

Only thing you have to have, the absorption power. The acceptability.

But if you run after something very cheapish, and something very frivolous, it's impossible.

You have to ask for your depth, and you have to take in whatever is emitting from My being.

I hope now, you all will take it up seriously.

1989-12/30: Puja, Brahmapuri, India- extracts

You are made after the pattern of Shri Ganesh:

Shri Ganesha Swayambhu, Delphi, Greece

Shri Ganesha was made with Immaculate Conception, you are also made the same way. Your kundalini was raised, was given you the realization and you got your second birth, and now you are Sahaja yogis. … Of course you must be having something, you know, otherwise I could not have made - that's also true. Supposing the kundalini was missing, now what could I have done? If not missing, if it was absolutely crooked; if not crooked, supposing there were some chakras which were horribly damaged. So, you were also people just ready to have your realization, that you were seeking it truly, that you had the pure desire to become Sahaja yogis, no doubt. 

(GANESHA 1984) But in My case it is a very different combination that I am your Mother and your Guru. So you can understand how Shri Ganesha worshipped his Mother. You all are created in the same image of Shri Ganesha who worshipped His Mother and then He became the Adi Guru, the first Guru.

Sept. 1984, Shri Mataji, Ganesha Puja

with the 

Matterhorn(Switzerland)

No one should think that you have got Realization, you can be in the Sahaja Yoga if you do not take to innocence. Innocence gives you complete sincerity, and Ganesha is the judge, and He is the one who throws you out of the periphery like a tangent you get out of Sahaja Yoga. And when you get out of Sahaja Yoga, you start going down and down and down, and then you may develop horrible diseases of the Mooladhara chakra. Those who are hit by Him are the worst; if you have come near Him, be careful. Face yourself, see yourself, note yourself.

Another thing they told Me that some people think that they are great Sahaja Yogis who contribute nothing to Sahaja Yoga but headaches. If some sane Sahaja Yogi starts telling the other Sahaja Yogi about something sensible, this fellow puts up his right Vishuddhi, pressing it hard on him to show that, "You are talking because your right Vishuddhi is catching", very cunning. You are not to play games, because you are harming yourself, I'm telling you now. Those who think they can play with the loopholes must know that there's a loop round their neck. Like the fallen angels you will go to the greater heights, or depths, of mire. So try to be honest to yourself.

The/another oath we have to take today that,  
We'll respect every Sahaja Yogi from our heart, because they are made in the form of Shri Ganesha. We'll not make fun of them, we'll not laugh at them',' as long as they are in Sahaja Yoga we have to respect. But they can be thrown away, they can get out of it. But unless and until this happens, do not put your ego on other people. Don't think that you understand everything. Don't think that you know everything. Respect each and every person, not for what he has read or what he has learnt, but because he is a great soul. 
I feel the whole West suffers from one, one simple disease, that is, they do not know how to respect anyone. Whatever doesn't suit their mind, they will never accept nor will respect. With their ego they want to judge everyone and condemn everyone. So, get out of it, and tell yourself, "I don't know anything. I was a stupid fool with my ego." Humble down yourself in your heart, open your heart, and love each other. Respect and love is the two things you have to promise to Shri Ganesha. If you cannot do that, your ascent is going to be very difficult.
