The CC is promoting revolution!

27th Communication of the Central Committee
(Swayamblogger dared link the different topics with the posts of this blog already visited by 10 000 yogis)

Dear friends
We have been approached by many Sahaja yogis/yoginis recently, who have expressed some serious concerns about the state of SY in their countries and/or internationally.
 They expressed concerns were about the inner state as well as about governance related issues.
We would therefore like to remind us all on the following principles of our spiritual culture, which we have inherited from our Divine Mother.
1. Thoughtless awareness:
It is without alternative that we should establish thoughtless awareness as a "state of mind". It is in this state only, that Sahaja Yoga will work as explained and taught by Shri Mataji.
2. Catches:
It is without alternative that we keep our chakras clean and work on evolving towards a state where we have overcome our personal issues and have established a pure and detached personality where the innate divine qualities of our chakras manifest.
3. Negativity:
It is of paramount importance in our individual and collective Sahaja Yoga that we acknowledge the existence and impact of negativity. Negativity works within and without; it can affect us
personally and it can affect our collectivities. It is therefore necessary to develop a reliable instrument of vibratory awareness, sharpen our discretion and make our personality immune

4. Forgiveness:
Forgiveness is a method of cleansing our Agnya chakra and surrendering the matter to the Divine.
It must not be misunderstood with compromising with negativity or with negative people.
While love and compassion is the very core of building our worldwide family, it must be balanced with a firm alignment behind truth, personal morality and righteousness.
Shri Mataji has always been very clear about the fact that one bad apple can spoil the whole basket. 
Indiscriminate sympathy with affected people to the extent that they are allowed to have a role within the collective, leading puja/havan and even spreading Sahaja Yoga can bring a collectivity down and can take Sahaja Yoga on a very wrong path.
5. Sahaja Yoga:
Sahaja Yoga is a creation by the Adi Shakti Herself.
Every word She has said and everything She did had a purpose, a meaning and a living effect on our growth. All has been documented on Audio and Video. She had promised, that She would not leave, before Sahaja Yoga was completely established. It is therefore our best understanding
that nothing must be added or changed; that nothing must be interpreted in a relative way and nothing of Her Divine legacy should be compromised because of our own human flaws or false ideas. We need to listen to Her videos and tapes as the primordial source of ever living guidance and inspiration. We do not seek to quote Her in order to win an argument but we desire to humbly imbibe Her Nirmala Vidya.
6. Open Assembly:
Together with the World Foundation we have recently launched an open assembly in Cabella.
The idea behind this experiment was to stir the ocean of collective intelligence and see what would surface. It was underlined that this should ideally be performed in a state of thoughtless awareness in order to become instrumental without identification. We want to believe that the fluid sahaj intelligence of a thoughtless and connected individual Sahaja Yogi, who does the right thing at the right time at the right place, can be extended to such a collective exercise and
a collective state of pure Yoga can be achieved. Open assembly - meetings, exchanges, that aspire to reach results together in such a state, can be helpful and necessary on a local, and national/ international level.
7. Governance:
Sahaja Yoga is not a religious organization nor a cult, but a living spiritual movement, based on our actual connection with the Divine.
Councils and legal structures within Sahaja Yoga are for serving and supporting the collective growth, but not to dominate or control a collective.
Individuals or groups that use such structures to exercise power over Shri Mataji’s sons and daughters and force them into uniform protocols and regulations are betraying Shri Mataji’s culture of the spirit.

Coordinators/councils are therefore invited to always check their own behavior and methods
with the collective and facilitate exchanges in a spirit of trust. Likewise “affected” collecti-vities should request such meetings in order to express themselves and to establish a fearless, loving and equal communication with their elected councils and coordinators.
We wish all of you very deep and joyful days of Navaratri.
With love and respect – the cc

«Either you are telling lies, or you are good for nothing.»

Your first and foremost responsibility is Sahaja Yoga. Because you should know what a work it is. It's such a great work to transform the whole world - that's my vision.

At this old age also I think the same way. Now if that is my vision, what should be your attitude?
 - That we should go all out to spread Sahaja Yoga. 
That's the main thing.
I call you for these pujas just to renovate, I should say, or to give you more of energy and all that. 
But if you are just taking it as a great blessings and sitting at home, it's of no use. You must spread Sahaja Yoga.
I was surprised that they said in Lucknow (2002) there are only two hundred Sahaja Yogis.
How can that be?
First time I went to Lucknow there were at least three thousand Sahaja Yogis and we had not fixed any hall or anything. And can you imagine, suddenly I find so many people have gone. How is it there can be two hundred Sahaja Yogis? 
Either you are telling lies, 
or you are good for nothing.
So the responsibility of all the Sahaja Yogis, of all the Sahaja Yogis, first and foremost, is to spread Sahaja Yoga.
 How many people have you given realization? Where have you talked about Sahaja Yoga?
I have seen even in the plane if you are traveling, anyone who is there will tell me, "My guru is this, you know, such a great guru, this, that." Openly, shamelessly, about horrible gurus. 
While you people are very shy to talk about Sahaja Yoga. Never publicly unless and until you have a program and public program and all that. You have no time also for Sahaja Yoga, very busy people!
So if you have to follow Shiva and His blessings all the time, His protection to you, then:
you have to be Sahaja Yogis of very high quality. 
It shows when you go all out to spread Sahaja Yoga. That is the thing missing. 
I am very happy that in Australia (2002), Sahaja Yoga has spread so much. I don't know what has happened. In a far fetched place like Australia. In the beginning I had some set-backs but now it has spread. Also in Austria it has spread. And also in Italy. 

But otherwise, just doesn't spread. 
What's the matter? 
 - The matter is the leaders are not going all out. 
Say, for in England I traveled from north to south, east to west in all the directions. 
We have very poor, very poor Sahaja Yogis there.
You have to go to universities, to younger people. If hippy-ism can spread, why not Sahaja Yoga? It spreads like wild-fire, why not Sahaja Yoga?

All these things are there, which I have to warn you - be careful! 
If you have got Realization, you have a responsibility - to give realizations to others, and to spread Sahaja Yoga.
If you can't do it, then God save you!
 I have nothing to say. 
You have to introspect: "What have I done for Sahaja Yoga. What have I got for Sahaja Yoga?" 
And I am sure after this Shiva Puja, you will dedicate yourself to Shiva principle within you. Shiva principle doesn't stir out, it's very, very stern, it's very powerful. You have to dedicate, and you have to surrender. Above every other job, above every other performance, highest is this.
So with this, I ask Shiva to give you blessings, complete blessings, so that you get transformed into personality of Shiva....»

WHY I LEFT THE HAVAN

Michel's Show

The audience of the Havan, friday afternoon, Ganesha Seminar, was surprised seeing me, Swayamblogger, addressing shortly, but loudly, to the pujaris and walking away. I was surprised at myself, too, it was so spontaneous.

« This is a Hindu Havan, not Sahaj!

Where is Shri Mataji in your mantras?

I quit!»

Some did say: what a show! Many asked: What is it about?

The following evening, many yogis, some elder brothers, some well-know personalities, called me to support this protest. Others asked me about, because they couldn't hear properly, and did agree to this explication:

WE CAN GET THE ATTENTION OF THE DEITIES THROUGH MOTHER ONLY, and Brahminic mantras are devoid of meaning to us.

These ritualistic/Hinduist a-sahaj trends haves to be stopped.  Let's think of the new people coming to Cabella, and going home believing that they have seen the top of Sahaj practices! This is dangerous!

I hope other brothers will show their concern, and there are so many ways to do it - other than spontaneously leaving.

I leave to the comments to say if the havan was "hot"" or fresh", if the Elephant-head cloud appeared before, after or despite my doing. 

 # SAHAJ DHYANA: the book about meditation has already sold about 420 copies! 

There is no doubt that the DEMAND does exist for deepening meditation. 

This is good news, indeed…

CC Forum in Cabella: the start of the idea of a beginning

On-the-auspicious-occasion-of the Krishna Puja, the CC organized a kind of open forum. About 200 persons attended, and split up into 10 clusters of discussion. 

Two main topics were proposed, about Becoming the Spirit and about Collectivity.

This Swayamblog only can feel happy (please notice that such a thing can happen) about this choice, as it has been dedicated to such issue since the first post in April 2011(*worth reading again; link below)

On this pattern, Sahajis proposed about 10 themes:

• Keeping the connection with Shri Mataji - Integration of the next generation - Recognizing What our realization is - 4:How to become the spirit if we go on saying that "Mother is coming" at the beginning of pujas?- Consequences of 23Feb 2011 - How to surrender  -  Protocol in Sahaj and ritualism - Integrating the Yuvas - Unity, oneness and divisions - The Trith in Sahaja yoga.

As we can see, the project of "becoming the Spirit" has been overflooded by the interrogations of the Sangha.

This rality totally fits with this Swayamblogger's analysis, that the CC, just as any institution in Sahaj, is reliable to the collective. 

The good news is that the organizers just discovered that the people wanted a more efficient and more clear Sahaja Yoga, and not to put down nor demolish the CC nor the WF, nor its Board -members.

The different groups of discussion wrote down an account that is now somewhere on the Cabella web -I do not know whether it will be uploaded on the net.

Reflection.

Of course swayamblogger was in the N°4, where it did appear, according to all, that

1 Vibrations are higher since Mother's death

2 She is with us, in our heart, all the time. Shri Adishakti made an Avatar, which comes down to Earth, and has an end, but Her essence in Eternal from the first Beginning. having the connection with Shri Adishakti is not reduced to worshipping the Memories of this Avatar (what religions did)

4 The SELF is the reflection of the Divine, and has to shine. hence, focusing on clearing the catches and the chakras is necessary, but the MEDITATION is different from the moment of clearing.

5 Maybe 'She is going to come" should be changed to a "now the audience is ready to WELCOME Shri Mataji" (meditative silence) but, yes, the coming of the photo raises the Vibration level.

6 The divisions in the Sangha started much before Her death, and show that the connection with Mother, and one's own Self, has not been what could have been expected.

Let us play our part, dear friends and readers, to make our leaders, trustees and elder brothers understand

that such topics as basic as Meditation Spirit and Collectivity are, should be the priorities of our seminars.

If we have a Sahaja way of thinking, we all would understand that: from this point only, can start adequate projects towards the "Real world", and can be successful. 

Sorry to say, but it is logical that running after initiatives/ tours, without a proper spiritual collective and clear anchoring in "becoming the Spirit", are not as efficient as they could be in those «precarious times»(though supported by the Paramchaitanya because She is nice to Sahajis)

«...the responsibility of destruction ..»

Jesus back on His white horse, Auxerre cathedral,
quoted in "The Advent

I have told you hundred times that I need 1000 people who can sit on this Sahastrara.
I need 1000 people to sit on horse who never get caught.
Is it difficult.
Those who are detached… 

If you are doing something for Sahaj Yoga, you are doing for yourself!
If there is someone who says that "I went to the market and purchased so much gold for myself, so many things and did shopping.. I worked so hard." Whatever you worked hard, whatever you did, it is for yourself, isn’t it? Not for anyone else.

You have seen, that whatever you have done till now, you are enjoying the benefits of it.
There were so many people till now in this world who could achieve.
One or two were there in every Yuga (era) you have met, seen and known...
So many people in this world, how many are realized? -Very few you will find.

Heavy metal rock  festival

And today it is great naad (sound) of Kali Yuga…
There are so many animals today… The animals without tails.
But in this Kali Yuga itself, in this dirty mud, a great work has to be accomplished, you know it is happening… in this time, you must take as much as you can.
Otherwise you will be thrown out of this evolutionary process.
That time is not far away.
I told about it in 1979. That till 1979 this work has to be done.
And by the year 1999 Satya Yuga (the era of truth) will get fully matured.

Click to read...

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.

How dare you say "this is 'my' country"?

Traditionalist Jew contemplating the Omar Mosque
built 1200 years ago on the ruins of the Temple

So, this is the acquisition instinct which is very, sort of a, which becomes a political asset 
that you go and aggress other countries,

Children in Alep, Syria, 2013

aggress other people and use all kinds of things; 
and that really is killing. 
So the whole attitude of human beings changes, they think we are the "lord", 
we can hate anyone,
we can aggress anyone,
we could be arrogant with anyone,
we can demand anything,
we can take away anybody's wife,
take away anybody's child,
take away anything,
we can kill our children.

As a result the love is lost;
no question of compassion.
Love is lost,
compassion is lost;
no love. And with that you also developed "my" and "mine", sense of "my and mine" - is that this is my child, this is my country, this is... 
As you know in Yugoslavia what they are doing. I don't know who gave the name of Yugo, Yugo means Yoga. This is the Yoga people, fighting among themselves. 

This has come from the same root that, "This is mine, this is my country". Why? 
How is it your country? 
You can't create one leaf, so who are you? You can't create little mud, can you? How do you say, "This is my country?" 
How dare? 
This all belongs to God. 
He has created, or you can say Adi Shakti has created. You have not created even so much! 

How do you say, "This is mine and I should have it?" So the "my" and "mine" thing also develops, very strong. 
And the same thing happens with, sometimes, Sahaja Yogis, very much. "My children", this is the first curse. "These are my children, my wife, my family", it starts growing like that.
Then the heart shrinks. 

Shri Mataji visiting Nizamuddin,
a muslim sufi shrine in Delhi

For a large-hearted man the whole world is the universe, the whole thing is within, the whole thing is yours. 
When such a heart you experience within yourself then Kundalini just shoots off because, as you know, the Sahasrara is the Heart Chakra. 
No question of Sahasrara catching if you have a large heart. 
And to keep the Sahasrara open - is just develop that sense, that wisdom, that: "Nobody's mine, everybody belongs to God. 
Who is mine? 
Whatever God wants, let Him do."

So get out of this small feeling! 
Sahaja Yogis do, I must say, I have seen it: they get confined to their families.

"...They don't learn lesson in a easy way..."

INTRODUCTION, May, 06, 2015

The counter of this blog indicates that many Sahajis from both Ukraine and Russia have been visiting, probably focused on the page about Nepal calamity.(Click here)

Your Swayamblogger would like to invite you to read the following, from 2014.This page was written on July 18, 2014. 

--------------------------------------------------

See, the world today is filled of strife. All kinds of strifes are there. People are fighting for nothing at all - for land, killing human beings. 

Land, can it create human beings?
They're fighting in a very collective manner, thinking they are doing very great service to humanity.
The thinking today of human beings is not at all deep,
it's very superficial, and that's how you find this world full of turmoil; every day, every minute you can find they are killing so many human beings. This is: they're torturing in a very large scale.

It's an impossible situation, to convince anybody that they are aggressive, and they are nowhere near the truth, because nobody wants to accept such a thing.
And so whatever they are trying all over the world to convince others of their follies, are completely failing. And thus this struggle, this war-mongering cannot be cured.

...human beings are not at that level...

We have to accept that human beings are not at that level to understand what's wrong with them.
They do not want to accept.
To them aggression is the only way they can propound their own goodness.
So what is the solution?
Solution is that we should give all of them Self-realization.
They should get their Self-realization, then only things will improve.
Now you might say that
"Mother, in those days of strife and struggle and fighting?"
It will work out. 

Saint Christine. XIV century painting.

Formerly, of course, the saints were all tortured; tortured by all kinds of different stupid ideas, I should say, of something being higher, something being lower, something being good, something being bad. Under such ideas they combined together and worked out all kind of aggression all over the world, all over. Not only that, but also in the families, in the institutions, in the organization, thinking that they were very right, they were very good, and they tried to aggress other personality.
So, many people thought it's better to fight it back, and they started fighting it out collectively.
It doesn't work out.

Nalanda ruins

This fighting doesn't work out, because fighting begets nothing but murders, killing. Thus many people were killed. 
Buddha talked to people of non-resistance, and there's history about it, that in one of the great universities in Bihar when the aggressive people came in, they killed all the saints in the name of aggression, and they all died.

10,000 monks and 1,500 teachers once inhabited Nalanda in 108 monasteries.

Nalanda was put to a brutal and decisive end by Bakhtiyar Khilji, a Turkish invader (c. 1200), 

who is said to have looted and burned the monastery and killed its senior monks. 

Local legend has it that the three libraries of Nalanda were so large that they burned for six months.

 Maybe that might have achieved on a, worked a very subtler level, some sort of punyas. But in this Kali Yuga it is not going to work out. 

What is the resistance you can put in against such people? 
How can you fight them? 
Circumstances will tell them. Life will be so difficult, 

Syria: the city of Homs, after Damas troops got it back from rebels.

with, all the time, weapons hanging on their heads, that they'll have to also seek the truth.
It has to be done very genuinely.
If they are seeking the truth they'll be surprised that this world is one, all human beings are one, and that is the destiny of human beings.
But for that so many are to be killed, so many are to be destroyed, because
they don't learn lesson in a easy way.
Now your job is to give them Self-realization and change the people.
That's the real thing you have to do as gurus.

But what are we doing? We come to Sahaja Yoga with what idea? We are working only on the periphery.
Firstly we are worried about ourselves, how we can prosper, how can we become better off. 
Also there is greed. 

Navaratri Puja Loutraki, Athens, Greece October 21, 2001, at 38:30 

We do not see ourselves if we are aggressive, if we are trying to trouble others, if we have wrong ideas about ourselves, how we torture others. 

So first of all you have to cleanse yourself and accept your own problems, your own misgivings - these are to be faced. And challenge yourself:
what are you doing? You are a Sahaja yogi, how can you hate someone, how can you trouble someone, how can you torture someone? 

From Ganesha 2007

This is the beginning of introspection, it's very important.
I can make out a person who meditates in the real sense of the word, and the one who just meditates. You should not deceive yourself.
If you're deceiving yourself, then how can you become a guru?
For becoming a guru you have to first of all be very honest within yourself and find out 
what are you doing,
what are you up to,
what have you done. 
We have six enemies, as I have told you,.../...

Sahaj Dhyana has become a book!

Thanks to some blog-readers, 
Sahaj Dhyana is being printed, and is scheduled to be at the bookshop in Cabella for Guru Puja.

There are no words enough to thank our friends, whose initiative will be mostly useful for all of us.

I took the opportunity of this inauguration to realize some power point presentations that I am trying to upload on YouTube,and fix in CD  (being no nerd, this will take they are far from perfect)

HEALTH: "If She wants to cure me..."

"It's the Mother, 
She's there,
 She's my doctor. 
Whether She treats me or not, whether She cures me or not I've nothing to say. 
I only know Her. 
I don't know anyone else."

It's very logical. The logic is, that Mother is the most powerful thing that you know - logically it's true. 

"And if She is so, She'll cure me. 
But if She does not cure me, it's Her Power, it's Her whim. 
If She wants to cure me, She'll cure me. 
If She does not want to cure me, how can I put my will upon Her?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sometimes we think Sahaja Yoga is there for our betterment, for our good health, this, that.
It's not so. It is for the betterment of others. 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
So what you have to do is to have self-knowledge. You have to know about yourself. You must have self-knowledge of what you are. If that you don't have, what's the use of opening the Sahasrara?
Self-knowledge is, it doesn't give you any pride, nothing, but gives you the duty what you have to do, what you have to work out. It's not only just for you, that Sahaja Yoga, but you are for the whole world - please try to understand! 
Sometimes we think Sahaja Yoga is there for our betterment, for our good health, this, that.
It's not so. It is for the betterment of others. 
Your powers are there which you are not utilizing. You are still busy. I get letters saying that "this is wrong with us, wrong with that" - I mean, why can't you correct yourself? If you can't correct yourself, how can you correct others? That's what it is.

You have a very supreme Guru, no doubt, but still you must know that those powers of supremacy you don't have. 
I am above all these things. I don't know what are temptations are, nothing! I mean, I'll do whatever I like, it's all my whim. But despite that, I have made myself very normal, and because I must appear before you in such a manner that you understand what is the Statutes. 
For me there are no Statutes. I make all the Statutes, isn't it? Because of you I do all these things and teach you every small, small thing, because you are still children.
In the same way, you must remember that, when you are talking to other people about Sahaja Yoga, remember that they will see you all the time, and try to understand how far you are in it. 
As I understand you, you try to understand them. 
As I love you, you try to love them. I definitely love you, no doubt, but I am Nirmama, I am beyond love: it's a different state altogether.
Under these circumstances you are better off, much better off, because no guru ever goes to that extent. 
Apart from that I am the Source of all the shaktis, of all the powers. 
So you can have all the powers from me, whatever you like. 
I am desireless, but whatever desire you have will be fulfilled. 
Even about me you have to desire, look at that: how much I am bound by you. Unless and until you desire my good health, I'll have bad health; it is to that extent. 
But to me, what is bad health and good health? 
And under these beautiful conditions you should really prosper so well. There should be no problem for you to be gurus.
Now, the Void is to be established. First of all you must know your Guru, and She is on every Chakra working - imagine! What a tremendous Guru you have!

It's not important to be with your relations and be with your family so much. Of course, now we are Sahaja-Yoga-family naturally it is important that we should also be good and we should have very good relationships with each other no doubt!
But for that, how far to go is a discretion which one must develop, how far to go? Most important thing is how far you go with yourself.
So now this is the relationship I've told you about, to your children and to your families and other members of your family. 
Then the members of your neighborhood also if there is somebody sick, then you can go and help them. 

How is it? This is not Sahaj! 
Oh , yes: nobody listened...

I think you can put up a board here saying "Kundalini Awakening". 
Put up a board like that and maybe people may like to come to Sahaja Yoga for good health. Good health and wealth something like that you could put and people would come now to do Sahaja Yoga. That's how they would come round. 
I think it would be a good idea to have a big sign board so that people start coming to you and so you can start a school here for the neighbors for their children. We have so many little children and start a little school here that can work out for children and they will have some good company.
It will be very nice.

From a real conversation by Sahajis on Facebook

They meditate for themselves, 
they cleanse for themselves, 
but never use their vibrations, never give vibrations. 
How can that be? 
You have to give vibrations. 
If you don't give vibrations to others, 
if you don't transform other people,
if you don't cure other people,
if you don't teach them how to have pure love, 
what's the use of cleansing, coming to Puja, feeling nice, joyous? Finished! 
These are useless people, useless Sahaja Yogis. 
Ganesha is not happy. How can He be happy? 
His puja is to give realization. That is His Puja. 
Supposing He is waiting there, say, for you to ask for His blessings. What is His blessing? Is to give realization, to allow the Kundalini to rise. You ask for it and what do you get? 
You ask for your health, ask for this, ask for that. 
Why not ask, "Shri Ganesh, make us good instruments of Sahaja Yoga. Give us strength to give realization to people and talk about Sahaja Yoga." People don't even talk about Sahaja Yoga. They are feeling shy. Why should you be shy?...

Lastly, you see, in Sahaja Yoga people come in, they think it's a sort of a contract with us that we should look after them, their health, their jobs, their everything. 
This is absurd. 
The contract is between yourself, with yourself. 
You have to work it out, all right? This is what it is. 
So if the mind is asking questions ask it to shut up now. Mind is the worst thing, it is standing between you and reality. 

1996-03/10: Talk to Sahaja Yogis in Hong Kong

Let God maneuver you. But how? Supposing I have a brush in my hand, I want to paint something, and the brush I cannot maneuver. The brush is angular, it's troublesome, it's inconvenient to use that, or, you can say it's uncomfortable, it's awkward, it's clumsy. How can you use it? 
 - Dedication is the easiest way to get rid of all your angularities, all your problems, all your baddhas.
 Now watch and see within yourself: are you dedicated?
Those who are fanatically adhering to me are also not correct. There should be no fanaticism about it. 
The whole thing becomes a complete logical thing. There is no fanaticism about it. 
Like, somebody has to go to a doctor, to see a doctor, then fanatic person might say, "Oh, I'm not going to see the doctor. I'm not going, because Mother has told me that She's going to look after me." And when she gets sick, she'll come to Mother in fright, "Mother You had told me that You'll look after me, and how is it I've got sick?" This is fanaticism.
What is surrendering? Deep down you should say:

"It's the Mother, She's there, 
She's my doctor. 
Whether She treats me
or not, 
whether She cures me 
or not 
I've nothing to say. 
I only know Her. 
I don't know anyone else."
Is very logical. The logic is, that Mother is the most powerful thing that you know - logically it's true. "And if She is so, She'll cure me. But if She does not cure me, it's Her Power, it's Her whim. If She wants to cure me, She'll cure me. If She does not want to cure me, how can I put my will upon Her?"…/... 

But in Sahaja Yoga, when people come, they do not surrender, but they are nourished, they are looked after. 
Their health improves, their wealth improves, their mind improves, their relations improve, every way they feel better, their conditions improve. They are all the time getting the benefit. We have ashrams which are beautiful, which are the cheapest, and the food, every advantage that is available -best possible. Everything is there. 
But we don't realize that all this nourishment is for what? All these blessings are for what? 
For your higher ascent. For getting out of the mire completely.
Now, you have to adhere, you have to be dedicated, you have to be devoted. 
We have reservations, we hide things. We try to be smart. That's a dangerous situation. 
You all should, within yourself, try to see what part is so sneaky. What conditioning is keeping you out of dedication? What is making you have reservations? What fright, which ego, what angle still sticking out into the mire? What attachments, what relationships? 

From Video "Nirvikalpa" 1985

You have to get out of it. Unless and until you fully get out of it, it's not going to work out. There's no place for half-way things.
It's question of now or never. Christ has said it. He has said it, "You give your devotion and dedication and leave the rest to Me.
I know who are progressing in dedication and devotion. I have seen people improving so much. You need not face me, you need not see me. In person I need not be there. It's all in the all-pervading Power. That's all my light, which knows each and everything about you. And only through your bhakti, through your devotion and dedication, you can achieve me.
My achievement is the complete manifestation of your Divine power.
It's very simple, made so simple. I'm only pleased by people who are simple, innocent, who are not tricky, who are loving, affectionate to each other. It's very easy to please Me. When I see you loving each other, talking good of each other, helping each other, respecting each other, laughing aloud together, enjoying together each other's company, I get my first blessing, first joy. 
Try to love each other, in dedication to me, because you are all my children, created out of my love.

…/…The joy at the Sahasrara is called as Nirananda, since long. 
Since ancient times called Nirananda or Nirmalananda. So many call it as Nirmalananda or Nirananda. 

That joy is the joy that you enjoy even when you get crucified. 
That joy, you enjoy even when you are poisoned. 
Even on your deathbed, you enjoy that joy. 
That joy is Nirananda.
