An innocent child knows the protocol

First of all, we should see that how our conditioning takes over our innocence. It makes you extremely ritualistic. Even in Sahaja Yoga, I’ve seen, I’ve heard also, that people are extremely, extremely ritualistic. Now the ritualism is like this: that you have to say something three times, you say it three times, seven times like tied up people. I’ve seen some Sahaja Yogis like that. ...
So one should understand a difference between a protocol and ritualism. An innocent child knows the protocol. ... So for children, you see, innocent children, the worship, everything is not ritualistic. It is heartfelt. You feel it from the heart: how to do the worship, how to show your love. Is very sweet way an innocent person does it; while a person who is very ritualistic, he may even beat another person because, “Why did you do this? You should not have put camphor in it? Why did you put the camphor so? It's very wrong.” There’s nothing wrong. If you do it with your heart, with your open heart, innocently, anything is all right. It is the open heart which is necessary, not the closed heart — “Why did you do it? Why didn’t you do it? Where did you sit? What happened?” Nothing.
Now you are in the Kingdom of God and here there are no such rules and regulations that you should be ritualistic....(Shri Ganesha Puja 1993)

Quietness within, peace within, that’s very important. If there is peace you will grow. There’s no other way out. But you see, all this ritualism, sometimes giving bandhan all the time or raising Kundalini all the time and people even would like to see the table if it has vibrations, you see. That’s going too far. There’s no need to do all that nonsense. Sahaja Yoga is sense, it’s not nonsense. ... (Talk in Armonk , New York , 27/7/88)

Is not necessary to have this ritualism, this kind of a rigmarole. Oh, all the time you go in. Everyday, morning till evening, nonsensical these things and they become fanatic. They start becoming absolutely fanatic about Sahaja yoga and this fanaticism can be very dangerous because they try to remember everything by heart this and that. No, not necessary. ... (Shri Adi Shakti Puja 1995)

You must know what you are. First of all introspect. Accordingly you should work it out, but this ritualism is not allowed in Sahaja Yoga all the time. ... (Christmas Puja 1997)

DIWALI: we put lights all over - we put Sahaja Yoga everywhere...

" All these things are managed by Paramchaitanya.
 

I am doing nothing, I am Nishkriya . I'm just sitting down and watching. To me, nothing matters.
You see, it's working out slowly and steadily.
Ha!- if you tell Me something supposing, they said, "Mother, we prayed to You and it happened."
All right, maybe, these people {=Paramchaitanya, deities, gods, ganas} must have heard, around Me .
Not me, you see, and they must have done the job and for that I'm not responsible, in no way.
Like one lady in Mexico had a son, was very sick and was about to die. She wrote a letter to Me, three letters she wrote that, "My son is going to die, he's a young fellow, studying in Harvard." I didn't do anything. I never wrote to her. Fourth letter came that he's completely cured.
Now I didn't do that,  because I was just sitting in one place, and how is it, it has worked out.
So everything, you see, you think I do,  is not done by Me: is done by this Paramchaitanya
Because I'm also separated from you, completely, absolutely separated.
So they say, "You pray, now." You can pray.
If you pray, you pray to these deities that are around, you pray to all these ganas and all that, not to Me!
Because I have nothing to do with it.
You see, they don't tell Me that I have to do this or I have to do that, so why should I tell them do this or do that? It is like that.

And in that state only we can say you are in a Sahaja state, where you don't desire anything, you don't want anything;

I do everything  - all kinds of things, I am doing- like the sun is doing: I am also doing, in the sense that I'm looking after things, flowers, this that.
I am also receiving presents from you, I'm receiving this from you and then see, I don't receive anything. I don't have anything. I have no interest in it.
But you want to give for your joy, all right, have it! 

You want to put flowers, all right, you can have flowers. 
Even if there's flowers or not makes no difference tome as a person, I'm saying. But as Your Mother I love you. All of you I love.
But I don't do anything as such to love you. And everybody says, "Mother, You love us so much." When? When did I love you? I never even kissed you.
But you always say I love you very much. So what is this: who is working it out, this?
T'is something which is not me - beyond me.
This is the state in which, once we rise, we call it as Sahaja Stithi

In the Sahaja Stithi you think you are doing nothing. Everything is working out. 
But at this stage if I tell you, you say, "Oh, we are not doing anything. Why should we spread Sahaja Yoga, it's not our job?"
Just now, that's not your stithi, that's why.

Sahaj Sthiti
So you have to rise up to that state.
That's only possible when you are in the knowledge state, where you have self-knowledge, the knowledge of the whole world. 

But if you go beyond knowledge then you must have seen many a times, I just say something. I just say something and it is there.
I never feel vibrations of anyone or anything.I don't feel My Kundalini, either nor any chakras, nothing, but I know, know automatically like a computer.
But that computer also I am not. 

Just it's trouble, it's difficult to explain to you what is this stithi is because you have to achieve it.
Once you achieve it then you are in a very subtle state and that subtle state is nothing but bliss.
"To me, nothing matters."
But that bliss also you cannot enjoy. I don't know how to enjoy everything. 
Supposing now you say, "Jai Mataji." I forget even you are calling Me. I also say, "Jai Mataj!," finished!
See, it is such a simple thing one has to understand, that the state in which one has to rise is a state where without doing anything, everything works out.
If that is your state, all right.

But it's not so. 
So you have to rise up to that state by doing. First you have to do it.
First you have to know, and then knowledge has no need, you don't have to know, but first that has to be worked out and brought to that level.

First reconcile, and then,...



Mary of Magdala- P.P. Rubens, 
So what is this puja supposed to be today? It's farewell puja today, so let's have it, just before the birth of Christ.
Let Christ be born within us. Let's be, like Him, the one who always insisted,
"Love your brothers. Love your sisters." Who are your brothers and sisters? He asked the question too, "Who are My brothers and sisters?"
"Sahajayogis are my brothers and sisters."
Somebody offered at the altar. He said, 
"What are you to offer at the altar? Have you reconciled with your brother?" 
Have you reconciled?
First reconcile,
and then,
bring flowers to Mother.

He said it already. Think of Him, how forgiving He was, how magnanimous, how great, and how He thought of His Father all the time, completely dedicated, doing His work.

So with all praises to Christ and to His Mother who worked in a very potential manner, we have to today within ourselves awaken that great spirit, which is actually the Aumkara.
Even the memory, even the idea of that is so joy-giving.
Let His life be reflected in your lives. You have to be true Christians.

"..my hands shake, when I see you quarrelling among yourselves...""

"""".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. In the womb of my love you all have resided. From my heart I have given you these blessings. 

I get disturbed, my hands shake,
when you fall back into the mire again, 
when I see you quarrelling among yourselves; 
jealousies and petty things which belong to your past life. (…) 
A deep love should exist. 
Selfishness has no place in Sahaja Yoga. 
Miserliness has no place, has no place. 
Miserliness is a sign of a very small mind.
I’m not saying you give me money, of course.  

But:  the way we look at money, the way we cling on to it, the material things, the material wealth, the material objects, the possessions, you see...The greatest possession you have is your Mother: through Her you have your brothers and sisters...
"Now the name of your Mother is very powerful. You know that it is the most powerful Name than all other names, the most powerful mantra. 
But you must know how to take it,
with that complete dedication you have to take that Name, not like any other name.

Don't care for the multitudes.

You are now Sahaja Yogis and must know that we have to develop as Sahaja Yogis. 
We have to make our vessel all right. 
We have to put our self on a pedestal, then onto a hilltop, and there, we have to show that we are Sahaja Yogis, and what we can achieve. 
There has to be a kind of a wisdom, a sense, a sensibility and sensitiveness towards all the atmosphere. 
We must know how far to go with people, how far to say something, how far to achieve something.
Not to go on sympathizing with nonsensical people! Just forget them! If they have to come, they’ll come to Sahaja Yoga.
 

Also I must tell you in the Heaven there are very few places. 
Don't care for the multitudes. 
Care for the quality. 
It is the privilege of very few to enter into the Kingdom of God. 
So forget your relationships and you forget all other people!
Get to Sahaja Yoga, get established in Sahaja Yoga and tell them that we have changed our religion; now we have become vishwa dharmis.
That will satisfy them that as we have become Christians and Muslims and Hindus, let us now become something else, because now we are not the same as we were; we are reborn again. 
And that’s how we have to give up all these funny ideas.
