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.

“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.”
