You have to fight the wrongdoers. Don't try to bear...

In Shri Krishna's own words one can say, that once you are a realized soul and you have reached that highest position in your awareness, to you everything is futile. But just now, what you have to do is to save the dharma.
Not the dharma that people talk about, but the dharma means evolutionary process of human beings which is going on, and if all the good people, those who stand for righteousness are finished, then how will this evolutionary power will be saved?
So you have to save them, and for that if you have to kill, you don't kill anybody they are already dead,
because they are not evolved souls and they don't care for their realization.
So you have to fight them.
You have to fight the negative forces. You have to fight the wrongdoers....

So we have three paths as you know in Sahaja Yoga. 
1) The one is of bhakti. Bhakti is where you sing the praise of God, have devotion, you do all kinds of rituals, everything. And you think that you are very close to God. … How can you have any dedication to God with whom you are not at all connected?
 2) The second one was the karma, that you do your work. You go on doing your work with a detached mind. I mean it's not possible, but that's what they say. And we are doing our karmas, good karmas: we do all kinds of good things, go to various places for our cleansing, meet many great people of spirituality, go to all various places and pray, visit all auspicious places which are being described, all kinds of rituals … So He said, "It's not possible that whatever karmas you are doing could be the karmas which will get you the blessings of the Divine. Karmanye wadhikaraste, phaleshu ma kadachin." He had said it. …
 3) And third one is the discretion, which He calls as the Gyanamarga, is the central path by which you evolve. You evolve into a new state, a new state of your being, by which you become absolutely above every nonsense.
Also you are endowed with power to fight whatever is bad, whatever is corrupting, whatever is killing this one. At that stage you are equipped with a Divine power that you can finish off anything that is negative around you.
This is to be understood that that's a state. That's not just talking, that's not just believing that I'm that, but it's a state. If you come up to that state where you are beyond all these things and you have all the knowledge, pure knowledge, the subtle knowledge of being, this is the Gyanamarg….
When we are one

ananya bhakti
For that, according to Shri Krishna you have to [do various things]. One is you go on praying to Him. He says, "You go praying to Me, and if you give Me flowers I'll take, if you give Me water I'll take. Whatever you'll give Me I'll take." He says clearly, "But, what will you gain out of that is very important… So what should be the state, what should be the condition?
He said, "If you praise Me, if you have bhakti for Me, you are giving Me presents, you are doing all sorts of things, you are very dedicated but, you should do ananya bhakti." Word is ananya.
Ananya means when there is not the other.
"When we are one; when we are connected, then the bhakti you do that time, whatever music you have of devotion, whatever flowers you give, whatever expression you have, it should be ananya." That's the word He said , that do ananya bhakti! "Pushpam Phalam Toryam: whatever you give Me I'll take." 
He'll take everything.He the one who is the only bhokta, means He's the only enjoyer. 
"But, what will you get?" He says. When you do ananya bhakti, means when you are one with Me. That means you are connected with Him. That's how He has explained bhakti, what is bhakti is, very clearly.
But people don't understand. They... they think that bhakti means you go on singing on the street hare Rama, hare Krishna, this and that, it's bhakti, is not. …
And when you are one with God, then what does He give you? He won't give you cheap things, which will vanish in no time, but of some eternal nature. 
So He gives you peace, peace of the heart.
He gives you balance.
Also He gives you a tranquil temperament.
Joy of life.
All these things are there within us, if we have the bhakti which is, after being united, after the yoga with the Yogeshwara. This is what one has to understand.

Karma and discretion
Now this country of yours America, is very karmakandi. [...] goes on doing work work work work work; they're work-oholics. They work so hard, and what do you get? 
You get children who are drug addicts. You get wives who are running here and there. You get broken families, and no peace. You support wars. Only thing is that so far this country is being protected in a way, but also you have destroyed so many aboriginals, so many fundamental things that you should have preserved. …
Apart from anything else He gives us the gift of discrimination. That is His style, I should say, to teach you how to discriminate, and then you'll become experts on discrimination on vibrations. On vibrations you can get everything so clearly, so beautifully. Others may not agree with you, that's a different point, but you know what is right and what is wrong, and that is what Shri Krishna's gift is…

Discretion and collectivity
So the Sahaja Yogis first have the power of satisfaction, tremendous satisfaction. Imagine in this place you are all enjoying so much, you are living here, so happy. Shows what? You are so satisfied. Otherwise nobody would like, they'll say no we want to have some nice place, what is this? 
"We don't want to live here with everyone."
But to live with others, this collectivity also is the blessing of Shri Krishna. He teaches you to be collective, the fun of collectivity, the enjoyment of collectivity.
His collectivity is to be understood because I always say that Shri Krishna is the Deity of America. America is also very collective. …
Discrimination is missing. Unless and until you have that, you cannot use your power of collectivity properly.
Though they (USA) are collective, but what collective work have they done?
Even now they want to say we are separate, we are different. Whatever problems we are facing is our own. So this collectivity has been so much minimized in a country of Shri Krishna itself. Though they have that within themselves, a feeling that they should talk about every country, they should give lead to every country, they should consult every country, but always take a wrong decision about those countries. This comes because they are not discriminating. They should be discriminate….
Do not bear !
Some people think that if you bear up everything is good:-is not!
If somebody is trying to oppress you, don't try to bear it!
Throw it away!
Because if you bear, also you can move to the left, and you can get horrible things like cancer. You can get cancer.
Those who are aggressive, they can get also diseases and those who are very much, I should say bearing-type, also get into trouble.
So you should be in a balanced state: should not accept anything.
Supposing anybody calls you name just keep quite, look at that person, that's all! Know that he's a stupid fool, but don't accept it!
If you accept it and go on crying about it, and weeping about it then you can get cancer.
But supposing, somebody says something, you should know he's a stupid fool, just keep out of it,then nothing can happen. So both ways one has to be careful, because Krishna is playing around and He sees how far you can go.
Now throat, throat is very important, we should look after. Those people who shout, scream, ultimately can loose their power of speech, can become frantic with their problems of the throat. … So when you talk to someone, talk clearly in a sweet manner, but don't shout at a person, never; neither you try to show peevishness in your speech. If you are peevish then cancer can set in.
So both ways you have to be careful as you are Sahaja Yogis.
You have to have this knowledge that you will not do, bear anything nonsensical if somebody speaks, means you should not accept it.
One may say something to you, it's all right.
And sometimes you should tell him off, that you were saying like this it's not so. The best is not to bear it up and to suffer. You are not Christ, you don't have His powers.
Because if you do that, you'll develop cancer. So try to be in a way just in the center, watching everything: if there's aggression or if there's recession, one of the two things.
You must not give in to any of these attitudes, but develop an attitude of standing very firmly on your own grounds.
A m e r i c a
Now America is the Vishuddhi of the whole world.
So it is very important that the people who are in charge here should know all the powers of Vishuddhi, plus how to preserve it, and how to expand it to the whole world.
With these two hands, also are from Vishuddhi chakra, and with that you have to spread Sahaja Yoga.

Samadhi: the Unconscious becomes the conscious.



Thus at the first stage when you come, is the 'Chitta' stage. You touch the 'sat' means start seeing the reality, is one thing you feel, is flowing. The ego and the super-ego are still there, but your attention has come up and you feel the 'Chitta'.

There is also a part of  little enjoyment, and, the Joy or Anand, that is the joy of enjoying another human, being starts.(*) These are the feelings; this is how you enjoy Nirvichar samadhi. Samadhi does not mean going into unconscious, but the unconscious becomes the conscious. The universal unconscious becomes the conscious.
In the second stage
you become Nirvikalpa where there is no 'Vikalpa' (doubt).
At this stage the collective consciousness becomes subtler and subtler. You can understand very deep significance of things, when the reality starts becoming clearer.
You need not put your hand towards the person: by sitting down you know where it is, what is happening where he is catching, what is the problem, what is the collective problem.
You have no doubts about Sahaj  Yoga, nor about Kundalini not about anything else. At that time you start experimenting about it and you start using it.
Mastery of Kundalini starts. The 'Chitta', the consciousness becomes subtle. Such Sahaja yogis are care free and live in a big way. They are not touchy. They have no time for outside gross matters, so their attention is always deep into the subtle part. They are the satisfied souls.
....a terrible temper
But such a man gets into a terrible temper if he sees somebody misbehaving with me and cannot bear it.

After 'Nirvikalpa'
 - the Ganesha becomes really "Jagrut' (awakened).
Such a person is not tempted by any woman. No temptation for another woman will exist, except for his own wife where he goes on living like a celebrated husband, because husband and wife are united in a bond of matrimony. Otherwise he is a satisfied house-holder. The stomach becomes the Dharma itself. At this stage the subtle style of things starts. Your 'Mooladhara' becomes the chastity itself.
 - When you get into the Nirvikalpa stage 'the Anand' starts settling in you. Your consciousness becomes 'Anand'. There is chaitanya all around us which thinks, which understands, organises, and loves us. All this you come to know -the knowledge part of it. Then the Anand, which is the Hriddaya (Heart), starts emitting it.
Later on
 what you get is 'vilaya' (dissolved) into Anand.
At that stage complete Self-realisation takes place.
At that stage you can control the Sun, you can control the Moon, you can control every element.
Beyond that, there is God's realisation.

Sometimes when we are shallow, we don't act from the heart.
Sometimes when you say a mantra, you are just saying it outwardly, you are clearing out outwardly, you are meditating outwardly. But when you say that, you are just using your right side or your left side, but not your heart.
So, what you have to do is to balance it. When you say something, say it with devotion, with dedication, with understanding and try to put it in your heart that whatever I am saying is a mantra given to me by Adi Shakti Herself, and is a mantra, very powerful. We must establish our 'Ishwara Pranidhan' ...

 Nirmala Yoga 21- Shri Mataji's Advice

____________________________________________________________
Ishvara Pranidhana – ईश्वर प्रणिधान – is the last of the five Niyamas given by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
The word "pranidhana" means total surrender or letting go of the individual ego in favor of a higher Self. The word Ishwara has been defined by Patanjali in sutra 1.24 as " Ishvara is the supreme Purusha, unaffected by any afflictions, actions, fruits of actions or by any inner impressions of desires." When loosely translated, Ishwara means God. However, we need to constantly keep Patanjali’s definition in mind while we are discussing the sutras related to Ishwara Pranidhana.
In the Yoga Sutras, reference to Ishvara Pranidhana has been made in four different sutras:

Ramana Maharshi

Sutra 1.23 ईश्वरप्रणिधानाद्वा॥२३॥ IshvarapraNidhaanaat vaa 

Or [samadhi is attained] by devotion with total dedication to God [Isvara]."Sutra 2.) तपःस्वाध्यायेश्वरप्रणिधानानि क्रियायोगः॥१॥ apaHsvaadhyaayeshvarapra
NidhaanaanikRuyaayogaH 
"Accepting pain as help for purification, study of spiritual books, and surrender to the Supreme Being constitute Yoga in practice."
Sutra 2.32 शौचसंतोषतपःस्वाध्यायेश्वरप्रणिधानानि नियमाः॥३२॥ shouchasaMtoShatapaHsvaadhyaay
eshvarapraNidhaanani niyamaaH "Niyama consists of purity, contentment, accepting but not causing pain, study of spiritual books and worship of God [self-surrender]."
Sutra 2.45 समाधिसिद्धिरीश्वरप्रणिधानात्॥४५॥ samaadhisiddhirIshvarapraNidhaanaat 
"By total surrender to God, samadhi is attained."

(*)This kind of "little" enjoyment can be felt in Sahaj gatherings, kundalini awakening programs, and sahaj music and dance programs, as produced by the melting with other yogis, persons. (Swayamblogger)

Sahaja Yoga is not meant for mediocres


Now the time has come. 
You can see it so clearly. It's so obvious. First I used to say I would not go to the newspapers, this is not good, that's not good. Let us work it out. But it has come now, so much that I have to say things and I am going to say that very openly.
I am going to say that, but I want all of you to be such, that nobody should point out a finger at you and say 'Oh, this is a Sahaja Yogi, and how this Sahaja Yogi is behaving!'
If somebody is stupid and not working it out, it's better to get rid of such a person. Or else help that person and tell him that, "You have to come up, you can't be here." We don't want mediocre people here. We want some extraordinarily pure people. 
The purity is the main point, which we have to have. Once you are pure, you don't have to worry, then, I will look after you. But the purity of mind, purity of heart and the purity of your attention, these three things are very important. When it works out you will be surprised, collectivity will grow in no time.
It is a tendency amongst Sahaja Yogis also still, to go back to the same materialism,
and to try to have your own house, your family or children -sort of a nonsense.
 We have to be in the ashrams, and we have to work it out. We have to work it out very beautifully that we all live very happily in the ashram. But I find still people cannot work it out that way. They are more concerned about their jobs, concerned about their things. Once you live in the ashram, I'll see that you get everything. But if you do not want to have the blessings of God, how can anybody help you. 
So, tremendous sacrifice is needed. 
Of course as you know in Sahaja Yoga I don't need any money from you at all, but sacrifice is very important. And sacrifice of nonsensical ideas that you have. In every way we have to show that we are Sahaja Yogis. The way you dress up, the way you live, the way you think, the way you behave, the way you have relationships with each other, and the way you lead your married life, and the way you look at your children. 
Unless and until you have purity,
the light of love will not shine. The light of love will not shine. You have to absorb the light of love within yourself. But you cannot, unless and until you are a pure personality. And that pure personality has to develop by your meditation, by your working hard. It's a question of few years. In ten years we can change the whole world. In ten years, but you have to be really very dedicated!
It is you who has to change, not Me. You have to work it out, not Me. I have done My level best. But within ten years it should be possible that every Sahaja Yogi should become a tremendous force of Sahaja Yoga. So please try to avoid all those who are mediocres.
 If you find mediocracy,
the leaders must go all out to correct them. All out to tell them off. Don't tolerate! You don't have to be very mild on this point. You have to tell them very frankly that, 'See now, you are an extremely mediocre person for Sahaja Yoga. It's not meant for mediocres.' It's not meant for foolish people, it's not meant for stupid people. It's meant for something who are ready to sacrifice anything for the sake of truth.
And a little touch of... (morrons) Ooops!
These people are saying that, 'Why don't You go the way of science?' I say, 'Why don't you go the way of truth?' Take to truth. Science is not truth. Today it might appear, tomorrow it disappears. Today you may think it is correct, but every hypothesis is challenged, every law is challenged, that's no law. You have to use Sahaja Yoga in every practical life, everywhere. But in no way you have to be fanatic about it. Like I have seen some people start giving vibrations, or they start moving their hands for bandhans- even if I am sitting, they are doing like that! There is no stupidity about it. It has to be very dignified, decent and decorous. But for that we need, really people of quality.
And a complete obedience is needed,
I must say. I had told Indian people that time that they must have a proper case done for them.{some political group has stoned a Sahaj meeting}  They just didn't listen to Me that time.
 They said, 'Mother why do You want? No: You'll be in trouble', and all that. If they had listened to Me, there would have been no trouble today. But you must listen to Me, what I say.
Don't give Me explanations, don't give Me logic, but I know everything, you know that. I know everything.

May God bless you- Sahaja Yogis, who have achieved something great.

NEW YEAR PUJA 31/12/2001  Kalwe -- India    [Second part of Mother’s talk, in English]
{WHO COULD GIVE THE TRANSLATION OF THE FIRST PART IN HINDI}
...I am telling them that how a Sahaja Yogi should feel. You should be satisfied people.
Firstly and foremost you have to be satisfied. You just see within yourself if you are satisfied or not.
 ...
Firstly, you must spread Sahaja Yoga. How many people have you brought to Sahaja Yoga?
Only meditation is not the point. Meditation for what? For equipping yourself to help others. We need it very much in this Kali Yuga, people who will go all out to help.
2008: giving realization to 3 mayors of Cabella area
On the contrary, I find that they are very anxious just to meet Me, to see Me.
I have seen all the Indians who come to Cabella ‘must’ meet Me, must see Me, as if they have a special right with Me.
What is the need? What is the need to meet Me?
But this is the trouble of, say, our conditioning, that supposing there is some {political} leader, some minister coming, everybody will go and show off, like to meet him and talk to him—but not a Sahaja Yogi.
You must have self-esteem. Self-esteem by which you should know what is your dignity and how you should be. There are Sahaja Yogis who are excellent, who are very good, who are very self satisfied—I know who they are. And you have to be like that, ...
... I’m sorry ...I have to tell you this. But sometimes one has to tell, also. ...
 ...Many people think that coming nearer Me I feel pleased— I am not.
That’s no recognition. You should never do that.
On the contrary, when you will grow really, I will know -myself.
Today is not the day I should have said all this, because it is the day for New Year’s Day. But only good decisions are to be taken on the New Year’s Day—that’s the custom with human beings. So today you all have to take the decision that:
 “What are we doing for Sahaja Yoga? What are we giving Sahaja Yoga? What is our achievement? Are we sharing with others?”.../...
Attending My Puja is no favour to Me.
Or doing anything for the Puja is no favour to Me.
My greatest Puja is that of human beings; and if you can achieve and spread Sahaja Yoga that fast, I’ll be very, very grateful to you.
 I have worked very hard, I have really worked very hard. This Body, this Mind, all My Health, everything, I have done for saving people. And you please also tonight decide and take a view that? “What Mother is saying is very important and precious.”
We have to, we have to rise and give Realisation to people. But which is not so common—I am surprised—why people are behaving in this manner who are Realised Souls?
All my blessings for the New Year, for all of you ‘Happy New Year’!
But—next year should be full of many Sahaja Yogis who have done work and who have achieved something great.
May God bless you- Sahaja Yogis who have done work and who have achieved something great.
