Jesus, collectivity and politics

Christ, showing us the way...

Now they may say that, «Mother, why should we be caught up? We are Sahaja Yogis!» Because you are vulnerable. You are vulnerable. Yet you have not reached that stage.[...]

You see that also today, I must tell you about the part that is politics. 
...So you find, I mean all every day you see and you say, "Oh! God, this is a decadent society. This has happened." Decadency is because an individual whom you have given all these powers, has no power to bear them.

An individual cannot bear money, he cannot bear power of any kind, he cannot bear love, he cannot bear kindness, he cannot understand peace because he is still an individual. 

But when an individual becomes the collective, this is the ascent through the central path.

When he becomes the collective in his strength, he strengthens the collective. 

And also the collective looks after, protects and guides the individual. This is what Sahaja Yoga is. 

Better find faults with yourself.

Enjoy the Joy...

...So the politics of Sahaja Yoga is that you have to become the collective personality. 

And there where we feel that still we are something great, we are different, we are Indians or we are from England, or from France, {2013: American, Russian, Australian, LET, NT...}, still if you are identified, then you are not collective. 

In collective sense, we are all one, part and parcel of one Being, then you are really acting as collective being, and you are one with the Divine where the sun is looking after you, the moon is looking after you, the winds are looking after you, all the Mother Earth and all these elements are working -ether - everything is working for you,  and you are so well protected and blessed by this special quality to enjoy the joy. 

...he strengthens the collective. 

Then you really become sensitive to that joy, when you are one with the Whole.

You are going to be dropped out

Like if, supposing this finger or this finger is not one with the whole, is numbed out. As it happens in leprosy what happens that this finger becomes numbed out. Even if a rat eats it off we don't know, because there is no connection, no nerves acting, it's insensitive. 

In the same way, if you are not collective and not bothered about collective you are going to be dropped out, you are not going to be there to enjoy the beauties of your own glory and that of the collective.
So one has to understand that we have to be strong ourselves, we have to ascend and we have to be collective.
It's very easy to find out faults with others, very easy to find faults with the leaders, very easy to find faults also with Sahaja Yoga, some times with Me. Better find faults with yourself. The rest I'll look after. First you just find faults with yourself and try to understand others, and love others, and enjoy the company of others. This, once you decide that we have to enjoy, I tell you - it's so spontaneous- just this decision, this faith within you that "I'm going to enjoy now my spirit, I'm going to enjoy the collective within me" - that's the spirit. 

...No sacrifice...

Just this decision itself will give you the power to enjoy. But decision should be firm. No hypocrisy, no playing games, no ego, no conditioning, nothing - just pure desire within us that we have to be the spirit and the spirit which is the collective being within us.
I hope today on this day of resurrection we have to be thankful to Christ very much for showing us the way.
And also we have to be very much concerned and alerted about ourselves: where are we, where do we stand, what are we up to, what are we doing, what is our responsibility, what is expected of us, why all these blessings are given to us? There's no sacrifice in Sahaja Yoga, no sacrifice. Nobody wants you - anything to commit or to do, or to membership, or anything like that. 

I think it's my commitment, as I said that, "God has the commitment."
But you also have one commitment that your desires should be pure. That's the only thing that, "Let my desire be pure." No impurities of any kind should work it out. As Christ had His desires so pure, and that's what He achieved, I'm sure you all can achieve a lot in your life.

Swayamblogger comments

When a yogi is so conditionned as to believe he can be just, 'Australian' or 'Russian' (you name it), he is no more in the central path, and is too weak to bear properly neither power nor money. Eventually, he will end up... well, find Shri Mataji's conclusion in the text.

Of Samadhan and... shortcomings

... is with me...

Why do you want to do things that can create problems to your Mother?

Why to do thing of this kind:

-anywhere I go to, I find people standing in front of me. Do not do that!

If you do not have SAMADHAN in Sahaja Yoga, you are useless!

“Wherever I am, Mother is with me”: this samadhan you should have inside you.

With this, you will grow,

Whatever grows in this world is absorbed in samadhan;

If you are not a samadhani, you go and put yourself to run to be before everybody

Depth

With such things, what do you gain?

With samadhan, Mother is there where you are

Once you will think like this, then you will be considered to be a Sahaja Yogi

Wherever you are seated- to come in front of me, to jump on the stage, this is not requested from a sahaja yogi! – I know them all!

Samadhan is anything in the depth of which you can find me.

And now the time has come when you will have to reach samadhan

You will have to work in such a way that you get satisfaction out of anything that you are doing…

New Year’s Eve Puja, Kalwe (India), 31 December 2001.

•  extracts.

Today I got late and it is the power of your love which has brought Me here.

Your Mother’s health is little disturbed and the desire is very strong and things are working out, because of that.

I want that your power of desire should get stronger, too. You should think for yourself what you have done in this regard. You should introspect and see that what hard work have you done for it.

You meditate.… You should bring depth in your meditation. You should think that you are a saint and see what you should do. Mother has made you a saint and now what should you do?You have to make yourself all right. No doubt, you should make yourself all right, but after that when it is done,

then what do you do?

-You go in collectivity. You go into programs - and it is limited to that.

What have you done further?

The crocodile attachment

You have got this blessing through your spirit. Spirit has given you second birth, so you should see further now what are you doing? How are you progressing or are you are using it only for yourself and for your children?

It is very important because I have seen that even after getting Self Realization, people have short-comings.
They are not completely cleansed.

If you don’t get one together with the others and work for Sahaj Yoga, then you will never come to know that what short-comings and negative aspects you have within. Even people come and make money!.… There are many people who come to Sahaj Yoga and make money. Later on they are exposed, no doubt, and can be seen, but unnecessarily it is troublesome, so what is the use?

You have not come here to make money.

Dharma

You have come here to awaken your dharma. You should establish dharma. 

I have heard that in Bombay many kind of adharmas have started, which were not at all here in the past twenty-five years — especially the films. There is very little purity in them. You should not at all see such films. If you people don’t see such movies, then they will not be shown at all, they cannot run....

If still you have greed, then you are still not a Sahaj Yogi and this greed will be exposed one day. First thing is that this greed should go away. Shri Krishna has said that you must drop your anger. If you get angry, then you should think that you are not a Sahaj Yogi. Nobody has seen Me getting angry. Everyone says that, ‘Mother we have not seen you getting angry.’ There are situations in which anyone can get angry, but I say, ‘What is the use?’ There is no use. What I have to tell you today is that you should introspect and see all the weaknesses you have even now.

So I tell you the same thing, that you should cleanse yourself. You should have the nirmal tattwa in you. All your weaknesses should go away from that. What is the use of keeping these weaknesses within? Many of them have gone to jails and those that haven’t, people spit on them.

Big Shock

I want to tell you only one thing, that don’t look at the weaknesses and faults of others. Instead, you should see the faults within yourself. Do you still get angry? Do you still have desire in your eyes and do you have attraction for everything, always thinking to buy this and buy that, to bring this and bring that? This was the most in America, but America today got pressed by a big shock.

Like a mad person buys this … but if you have to purchase, only then purchase such things which are made by hand, which has art in it and you can see the creativity in it. ...

...

Second thing which I have seen in Sahaj Yoga is that everyone wants that I must visit their houses.

Why don’t you understand that what have you done that I should come to your house? Or … whomever you see wants to come to my house. Wherever I go, you should leave Me peaceful. You have not done anything till now. You should leave this kind of desire in your mind and think that what is your aukat [=status]?

now ... you should achieve samadhan.

Why do you desire such a thing, which can give trouble to your Mother?

Why to do such things like…. I come from somewhere and they stand in front of me. Not to do like this!

If you don’t have samadhan [=ultimate satisfaction] in Sahaj Yoga, then you are of no use.

‘Wherever I am, Mother is with me.’ 

Such kind of samadhan should be within you. You will grow with this.

Anything which grows in this world is all absorbed in samadhan. If you are not samadhani and keep running in front of everyone all the time, what is the gain from that?

With samadhan, Mother is there where you are. When you think like this then you will be considered a Sahaj Yogi. Wherever you are sitting…coming in front of me … coming on stage … it is not required for a Sahaj Yogi. I know about everyone.

Samadhan is such a thing that in the depth of it you can meet me and now the time has come where you should achieve samadhan.

You should see that whatever you are doing, you should get satisfaction.

You should come forward to spread Sahaj Yoga and work for Sahaj Yoga, you will see that you will achieve the samadhan. You will not feel like coming in front of me and telling me everything.
Most of the time, I have seen that all those who come too much forward and in front of me are either dishonest or thieves…[short pause]. Those who are clean in heart and are enjoying the love are lost in the joy of love within.

So now I want to tell you that the time has come that you should have a little consideration for Me because you absorb all the vibrations from Me and if you people are not all right, then I get sick.

So you have to decide seriously that we should become such that Mother should be happy to see us and then the whole world should change. You had to sit for a long time today and many people have gone, but the recognition is this that you people are sitting peacefully in front of me. Before, it used to be that people used to talk and shout, make noise, but you are sitting peacefully. This is very great thing for Me.

• ENGLISH PART

... for what?

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. 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 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, otherwise you cannot enjoy Sahaja Yoga, you are like all other people trying to hinder into all nonsensical activities. Now this is it.

....how far...

Today’s was a real test, because I just couldn’t come earlier. You know what is the traffic nowadays, I just couldn’t arrive; and still you were sitting here – this gives me great satisfaction. That they really love Me, and they are really Sahaja Yogis.

If you really love Me you must love others who are not Sahaja Yogis and try to give them Realisation. Because you know my age is quite a lot, and how far can I go? I am not going now to many countries, but Sahaja Yoga is growing fast, though I am not going there. It is growing – why? Because people of that country understand their responsibility. You should know what is your responsibility – it is not only towards yourself but it is for the rest of the world, (that) you have to work it out and do something about it. Whatever people you can approach, or whatever people you can meet, go all out!

.... I’m sorry at the end of this, our great Ganapatipule, I have to tell you this. But sometimes one has to tell, also. I know you are all, all very good Sahaja Yogis. Also that you have achieved so much. 

But what is my desire, is that all of you should become like a light and start spreading Sahaja Yoga. In some countries it has happened, it is working out, and people feel so responsible. I am amazed at them, how they are spreading Sahaja Yoga.Now the same request I have to make to you. That please look at yourself, introspect, what have you done? What have you achieved in Sahaja Yoga? 

Such a satisfaction lies when you really, when you really work hard to spread Sahaja Yoga.

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?’

t’s the greatest Truth you have got. Nobody got it – people worked so hard, did so much – nobody could give Realisation! It’s only you can give Realisation, it’s very surprising. Kabir could not give Realisation to anybody. Gyanadeva could not give Realisation to anybody. All of them have been great, great Saints of great value system and with great understanding. Whatever poetry they have given, people are singing – that’s all.But, they cannot give Self Realisation which you can do. With all that power, if you are not giving Realisation, what’s the use of giving power to someone like that?

...

Attending My Puja is no favour to me. Or doing anything for the Puja is no favour to Me.

...you please also tonight decide...

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.

Before Shiva Puja: Of Attachments and Dynamism

difficult to be dynamic like other angels

Imagine, with so many angels [that you are],  the whole of England should get realization in no time, but we are still trying to learn what we are. Hanumana had no problem because from His childhood He knew that He was an angel and He has to do the job of an angel.
But, because we were born as human beings and now we have become angels, we find it difficult to be dynamic like other angels were.

even your individual thought, is powerful...

Even your thought, collective thought, even your individual thought, is powerful, and your attention is powerful.
Because of this fear, or maybe the conditionings as you can call it, or maybe the ego part which is still sticking onto you, you still hang around false things, and that force, that dynamism is not expressed.

I have to do it, so I'll do it. .

We can blame anything, like we can blame lethargy to some country, ego to some country, but now you have lost your countries completely,...

Now imagine Hanumana as Gabriel, had to go and tell Maria that there's a Child which is the incarnation. "The Savior is going to be born to you". She was a young virgin! To break such a news which was horrible, compared to the conditionings of those days! He did it. "I have to do it, so I'll do it. If that's the order, I'll do it." Because He knew that the carrying out of the order is His nature, is built within Him and He's not going to doubt it. He's not going to wait, but just told and He does it.
So a great understanding has to be within us, that we are growing within ourselves, but if we do not manifest, if we do not show our qualities, and if we do not express it in our life, in our doing, in our object, in the meaning of our life, then Sahaja Yoga is not going to spread; nor is it going to help you much.

Shri Mataji, in the fifties

(...) Coming to Sahaja Yoga is not [about] what we have gained, what we have got. See: there are people who say, "We've done so much for Sahaj Yoga and what Sahaja Yoga has given us?" It has given you Self Realization. It has given you the angel status. I mean:  you try anything else, can you get the status of an angel? You cannot! Sahaja Yoga has given you that status, so what more do you want? It was never possible before, believe Me, impossible situation! If it was possible in anyway then Gyaneshwara would not have taken his samadhi at such a young age, and Kabira would not have said, "Oh God, what am I to do, this world is blind."
So you have that subtle power within you that you can work out on people's Kundalini without even their knowing about it. But in meditation when you sit down, you must admit to yourself, "I am an angel and as being an angel, I have no attachments with anything else but with God's work."

Unconvenient truths - Comforting lies

Attachments are so many. Still in Sahaja Yoga I've seen people have, like attachments to, now because they're married, so they are attached to wives. And so many have fallen out because of their wives' attachments. Then they have attachments to their children, and so many will fall out if they have attachments to their children. ...

When I see you so lovingly

... Then there are other attachments like possessions, positions, jobs - I have none so I don't know what others have!
Except for when I see you so much lovingly coming to the station, then the whole heart becomes like an ocean I think, and just starts like a big swell of a tide, ...

...The attachments do not give you the capacity to enjoy that ocean. If you are standing on the shore, how will you enjoy the ocean? You have to jump into it. But you've got your anchorage onto different things, so you can't jump in. And you are so safe. You know how to swim, you know how to kill a shark, even one sight of yours is sufficient. But because you're not aware, it is not active. Absolutely this is the case.
I've seen people who get small positions in life and they start boasting about it - "I met this-and-this man, I met that-and-that man, and this happened and that happened" - you feel like laughing at the person!
But you have met Sahaja Yoga, by which you have grown, you have been nourished, you have become so great.
