Before the 2012 GURU puja-2 : 1980...

GURU PUJA, 27/07/1980, England

Today you have arranged this worship of your Guru, that is your Mother. Perhaps you are very unique people that have a Guru who is a Mother. (.../...) The Puja is arranged because you have been initiated into the Statutes of the Lord. (.../...) Again, I say you have to imbibe the Statutes.

...at night, fire glowed..  Ex:40:38

Let's see what are the Statutes. First is, you do not harm anyone. (.../...)  First of all, we should not harm anyone who is walking in the path of God, the one who is a realized soul. He may be wrong, there may be some mistakes in him, still he needs correction; nobody's perfect as yet. So do not harm, always try to help. Secondly, anybody who is a real seeker, (.../...).

2-The second Statute is that you have to stand on your own legs and know that you are here, one with the truth, (.../...)  But be completely confident about it. But for that, first of all you must test yourself completely, otherwise you might be playing into the hands of ego. It happens with many people who start doing Sahaja Yoga, to begin with. So be cautious, be sure that you are telling the truth and nothing else, and that you have felt the truth in full ways. (.../...) One requires courage to enjoy the truth. Sometimes people will laugh at you, will mock at you, may persecute also; but that should not be any worry to you, (.../...) 

Detachment

 3-The third thing for a guru in Sahaja Yoga has to do, is to develop detachment. Gradually you do develop it, because you find that unless and until you develop that detachment, you are not receiving vibrations in full way. All kinds of detachments have to be developed, means your priorities change. (.../...)

4-Now the fourth thing, the fourth Statute of the Lord is to lead a moral life. These Statutes were given by all the Gurus... Now think, in a society where you do not know who is your sister, who is your brother, who is your mother, what complications it can create; what confusion, what unhappiness. It is one of the most essential things for human beings, to be moral. For animals it is not necessary. (.../...)So we have to know what morality is. Let people laugh at us, let them say that: "These are goodie-goodies," or this sort of thing. We are! We are proud of it. (.../...)

Then, for a guru, he should not accumulate things, (.../...)

I don't know but, I don't know what was the situation here, but in India, when we were young, we were not allowed to listen to all kinds of music, not allowed, just not allowed. Not to see all kinds of filthy things and filthy documentaries and things, not allowed(.../...)

Then for a Sahaja Yogi it is important to use things which are more natural in their character; to give up artificialities, to be more natural. (.../...) So you have to be natural person, very natural in your behavior. (.../...)

Then we have to know that Sahaja Yogis have to get over all kinds of discrimination and identifications according to races, color or different religions into you are born. (.../...)

But today I authorize you to be the gurus, so that through your own character and through your own personalities, the way you practice Sahaja Yoga in your own life and manifest the light, others will follow you. And that you will establish the Statutes of the Lord in their hearts and emancipate them, give them their salvation, because you have got your salvation. You are the channels.

In Ghana

Without the channels, this all-pervading Power cannot work out, that's the system. If you see the sun, its light spreads through its rays. From your heart the blood flows through arteries; they become smaller and smaller. You are the arteries which is going to flow this blood of My Love to all the people. If the arteries are broken, it will not reach the people. That is why you are so important; very, very important. The bigger you become, the bigger artery you become, then you encompass more people. By that also you are more responsible.

Guru must have the dignity, as I have told you last time. "Guru" means the weight, is the gravity. "Gurutwa" means gravity. You must have the gravity, (.../...)  

Now in short I have to tell you how you have to do it yourself, this, of the Guru's working. You have to work out your Void clearly.

To be followed: AWE.

To be followed tomorrow: AWE...

Before the 2012 GURU puja-1: 1979

GURU PUJA, 1/12/1979

And today is the day of Guru Puja, not My Puja, but your Puja as Gurus.

I   anoint all of you as Gurus, and today I will tell you what I have bestowed upon you and what great powers you already have within you.

Among you, there are people who are still not... been able to recognize. My announcement will work it out within them - the recognition. 

my nature...

Without recognition you cannot see the play, without play, you cannot have confidence within yourself, 

without confidence you cannot become Guru, without becoming Guru you cannot help others, and without helping others you are not going to be in any way happy. 

So, to break the chain, is very easy, but to build the chain one after another is what you have to do. This is what you were all wanting to be. 

So, be confident, and be joyous, and be happy that all My powers will protect you, My Love - will nourish you, and My nature will fill you with peace and joy. (...)

... Now, because of Me, it has become very simple, as you know is the Shaktipath, that what you have to do now is Shaktipath, means, to throw your light onto others. 'Shakti' is power and 'path' means to make it fall. So, your Shakti can now fall onto anybody's Kundalini and it can rise. Now, it was a very, very difficult thing. They said only person who is a 'Veetaraga', the one who has conquered all his 'raaga' - 'raaga' means any attachment - all the attachments - the one who has conquered. 

He's without any attachment, he's completely detached in life, can only do the Kundalini rising. So first of all, 'Deeksha' has to be given, is initiation. That you have already got. The day you came to Me you got the Deeksha. You do not realize, that... how it happens. Such a lot of things have happened to you, telescopically, that you do not realize how many things have happened to you. So, only for Deeksha, you see, a person is taxed quite a lot. I mean, (...)

... Then for a guru, as you are now, you have all the knowledge, all the power and everything. But what we lack, is confidence... and we have inertia within us. I don't know, how this inertia is going to get out. You know sometimes, people who are that inert, they also have a use, and they are put in the canons, you see, and blasted in a circus, so they can show their feats. They are so inert that nothing can disturb them. But, you are My children. I have made you after the image of Jesus Christ, of Shri Ganesh. All their powers are available to you. (...)

... And this is one point I fail sometimes I don't know, how to remove your inertia. Because, you have not practiced Sahaj Yoga. You have not gone into any practice. You got it very easily cheaply. You do not understand its value. So you just want to have as a side track, you know? 

"they are put in a canon..."

You have to discipline yourself, unless and until you discipline yourself, I leave it to your freedom, because I have always believed in the freedom of My children, because I think they are not that low type, that I should put freedom on them as a, sort-of-a bar, that they should not use their freedom. You're absolutely free. If you want to go to hell, I will give you a chariot, to go direct. 

But if you want to go to heaven, I'll give you a vimana - an aeroplane, to go there. So it is for you people, to become dynamic, and to have confidence within you. You know every Chakras; you know every rising of the Kundalini you know everything. Take it upon yourself! Then a person who takes it upon himself, you see I...... I can be very angry with all of you. Very simple. But no I have to get the job done. (...)

V I R A J : Assume your powers- don't hide!

 So that's what it is. Have boldness, have complete confidence in yourself, that you are realized souls, that you are prophets! Not to be upset or worried about things, but you are prophets now. Assumption! In Sanskrit is said VIRAJ. That is, the energy is permeated – viraj: means, enjoy that energy within you. Viraj. “Ra” is energy; “viraj” means, you enjoy that energy of that throne, assume it.
You are the kings now, behave in that manner!

"...you enjoy that energy of that throne..."

 It is not arrogance at all. A person who is a king is never arrogant if he's a real king. You see, if they are borrowed kings then it's different. But if they are real kings they can never be arrogant. So with that special type of royal behavior you will attract people. It's not putting up show, is – you are! On the contrary this is the reservation you are having, for what? You need not dress up like beggars or like dandies, but your dress should be such that you are a king, not bothered. And you'll be amazed, it will work out.
You [English] are the people who have the greatest of my time and company, and also I know your language. I have given more speeches in English than in My own mother-tongue or in Hindi – can you believe it? And so many Indians now, who did not much care for English after independence, are trying to learn English now; and they are afraid that one day English may replace Sanskrit, the way Mother knows English.
So I have to make a very, very simple request to you that assume, assume your powers. Assume!

You are no more slaves. You are realized souls now. With this personality you will really enhance the beauty of Sahaja Yoga. Unless and until there are flowers on the tree, the tree has no meaning. And the flowers have to be up! They don't hide; have you ever seen any flower hiding itself? They cover the whole of the body of the trees, and fragrant, assuming their own powers. And the fragrance springs. Everybody knows the flowers are up, all the bees are round there.
That's how you have to be. Assume your powers – inside, outside, both.

Brighton beach, 1981

Not only inside, outside. And they'll be amazed at your confidence, at your compassion, at your capacities; and the greatest of all, the complete vidya, the complete knowledge of Sahaja Yoga, the complete knowledge of kundalini, the complete knowledge of Divine which you have. All right?  
(1982-May 15: Puja in Brighton,)

keyword: FAIL.

In Mathematics, some equations can have 2 solutions. 
One of them is... zero.
Here 3 extracts from Shri Mataji.

1. Sahaja Yoga sometimes fails

Now, how far you understand your importance, is a different point.
You do for your emancipation, all right, you meditate.
But if you are not channelizing the love, the Divine love, what is the use?
Now, supposing I repair something very nicely -I repaired this machine [microphone] nicely, put it right, everything, and I don't speak, what is the use of having this? In the same way, if you work very hard, I know people who get up at four o'clock, have their baths, do meditation, sit down, in the night again they sit down for meditation, but they never go out, they never talk to others, they never spread Sahaja Yoga. They do not give Divine love to others, so how can this great problem of this world be solved, that it has no love?
It has never known Divine love. It has to be given to them. They have to feel this Divine love, this power of Adi Shakti. They have to know it, otherwise you have been selfish, I would say, that you had a nice time having all this and you have not given it to others.
This is the reason why Sahaja Yoga sometimes fails to create a proper balanced personality in a human being.

2. if you fail,...

Try and find out where you can go and talk about it and do something good to others and help them somehow to rise above this common existence of misery, unhappiness and destruction. The time is very short and I think if you see the time, the rate at which we are moving is not proper. We have to be much faster, we have to go much ahead and we have to create much more Sahaja yogis through our consistent, very intensive effort. But we, "It's a side issue, it's by the way, Sahaja Yoga is by the way" and this is where we are failing in our responsibility. We have to learn from the Mother Earth.

"...become sensitive to the need of the World..."

 You might say that, "Mataji, how can we be like you? After all You are Adi Shakti."
Many people say that. "You are Adi Shakti, so what? - you see: with one finger You can move things like that!"
-But why should I? Why should I, what is the need?
So in that reflection that you are Me, in that reflection that the Mother Earth is Me, in that beautiful creation within you, you have to become very sensitive to the need of the world. What is the need of the world?
Today, if you fail, the whole thing will fail forever.  
Only very few will be there.
So the need for you is to spread Sahaja Yoga, because this love is not only for you. Is not to be enjoyed by you, but is to be enjoyed by as many possible in the whole world.

3.(If) ...you have failed me completely

Sufi dervish gathering, Persia 17 c.

Did they raise anybody's kundalini? Did they have any power? Even the disciples of Christ or even Mohammed Sahib's disciples, anyone - did they do it? Did they have any understanding of kundalini? Did they have any love for others, that they should give them realization?
There were some Sufis, they never gave realization to anyone. There were so many saints, who never gave realization to anybody. Mohammed Sahib never gave realization to anybody. Gautama Buddha never gave realization to anybody, think of it! Christ never gave realization to anybody- anybody! Krishna did not do it, Rama did not.

"...failed me...."

Nobody but you can do it. You can do it and you know everything about kundalini. It's a very big thing because you are children of the Adi Shakti. You are here and your Mother is here. It's a very, very fortunate thing for Me that you are here. I'm very proud of you, but again and again I have to tell you that the work has to be with a faster speed, we have to move with a faster speed and get more people to Sahaja Yoga.
It is rather, rather difficult for Me to say something forcefully, that's not My nature you know. Can't get into tempers and cannot get angry, and I cannot forcefully say something to you.

But if you fail, then only thing will be that you have failed Me completely. It means that, nothing less than that.

"...Go to the churches and tell..."

And if you don't want to do it (=to fail me)), then I would request all of you to take a vow today that you will spread Sahaja Yoga and you will talk about Sahaja Yoga, know about Sahaja Yoga. There are many who don't know anything. Also it's very surprising they are Sahaja yogis, they don't know anything.
And don't create problems for Me! -like marriage: "we can't live now with the wife, we can't live with the husband". All sorts of nonsensical problems people create for Me in Sahaja Yoga.
Are you here to create problems, or to remove problems of people?
(AdiShakti, Cabella, 25 May 1997)

AdiShakti: "Why is it so complicated? what do you want? "

"very illusive..."

Today we have gathered here to do the Puja of the Devi. The Devi has many forms but is the embodiment of the shakti. Adishakti gives shakti to all these embodiments. And so there are many Goddesses we have at different times. They came on this earth and did all that was necessary for the ascent of people who were seekers.
... But it doesn’t happen. It doesn’t happen because this incarnation of Mataji Nirmala Devi is very different, very illusive, Mahamaya. So you are left to yourself, do what you like. Whatever you like, you can do it.
So they will ask Me, “Mother, we have a problem.”  -I said, “What?”  - “We don’t know which kind of chairs we should buy.”
For every small thing they will refer to Mother but for important things, never! Sort of a funny use of the whole thing has started which is so great, so important is used for something absolutely nonsensical.
So, see the difference between the incarnations. One incarnation (=Shri Durga) comes on this earth to save the people, to bring them out of the mire of maya. But another incarnation (=Shri Mataji) which has come, is not only just to talk about it, but to give you your realization  -and then to look after your small, small things!
...Between the bhaktas of those days and the bhaktas of today, there's a very big difference. ...

... So now from one nonsense to another nonsense. This incarnation has such variety of jobs to be done! I mean, even the sixty-four kalas, the sixty-four expertise of Shri Ganesh is not sufficient to solve this!

Why is it so complicated?
After giving Self-realization, it should be a straight forward march towards your goal and towards your growth. But why is it that such a complicated nonsense is all the time bothering you? What do you want now? 
We should ask: what do you want? "- I want a child.”." After Sahaja Yoga, you should not want anything. Why do you want to have a child? There are so many children. You can look after them. "I want" goes away, should go away from your mind that "I want this and I want that"” This wanting is over now, what you wanted is your Self-realization.  

"I want that you should become "

After that, what has happened is now what I want is more important. (I=Shri Mataji) And I want that you should become really detached from materialism.
That doesn’t mean that you should become like Hare-Rama-Hare-Krishna no, no, no, no! They are not detached. They are very much attached people.
But detachment is a state where nothing can bind you, nothing is important, most important thing is your spiritual ascent. Nothing can attract you more than this process. This is what exactly is wanted today, that Sahaja yogis should understand. Compared to, compared to Sahaja yogis, what people have gone through! When I read it, I feel terrible! 

"What is the use of..."

Here everything is convenience, convenient, "come along, enjoy nice food, nice company!", it’s a festival going on! Everything is properly done. And if something is missing, I’ll be the one who’ll tell the organizers :"What is this? You should have done this. You should have done that.”
... Now, we come to a point where we have to understand: what do we want? What's the use of killing Shumbha Nishumbhas? What's the use of killing this Catholic Church? What's the use?
Because you are static. You are glued in one place, no progress!
So what's the use of doing all these things all the time and destroying all that negativity. What is the purpose? It's too arbitrary.
Everybody says, “Mother, you have given them permission. You have given them license. So now they are doing the way they are.” The other day, one girl came to Me. Her child was very sick. 
I asked her, “Do you meditate? She kept quiet.
I said that  "“I can make out that you don’t meditate because I know what it is – that you don’t even meditate.”
Now the judgment is going on all the time.

 When I am talking to you, it's all the judgment is going on. So every night you have to meditate. And you have to then think about what have you done tonight, today, in the whole day what have you achieved. But so calculating they are! Supposing I go there at five o’clock, then I have to be back at seven, otherwise I will miss the point, I’ll not see this person, that person. So, everything works like that with the time, with the importance of nonsensical things.
But what has to work is your faith that "I’m(=the sahaja yogi) going to do things which are truthful, which are sensible, down to earth and I’m going to keep myself absolutely, extremely free (=from attchments) and I’m going to look after not only my inner being but the inner beings of others!"
