Christmas 1997: 3 lessons on Sahaja Yoga

« I`m sorry I had to talk in Hindi language because most of the people are here Indians, some of them are Marathis and others are from the north India. 
I was telling them about Christ.
.../...
SHOE BEAT
Turkey, Cappadocia A place for ascetic monks.
Now people try to remove their ego. There two types. So they will go on beating themselves with shoes
All kinds of ritualistic things they do to remove their ego. But all this you do with your mind, whatever you do with your mind will give you ego only
They become ascetic. They are the greatest egoists. I must say Hitler was the greatest ascetic. With his asceticism he became Hitler. If you want to become Hitler you become ascetic. In Sahaja Yoga you are not allowed at all, all this asceticism. …/…
If you are hot-tempered, all right, go and beat yourself with shoes. But, if you’re not, then you need not
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.

COLLECTIVE

I would love all my children to be extremely loving and collective
Not to denounce anybody for no rhyme and reason. 
And if you have to denounce, you should tell me. I know what is what.
Without asking me you should not measure up somebody and say, “I’ve measured somebody.” With what? What is your yardstick? 
You yourself, you are caught up in the web of ego. 
You cannot condemn anyone without telling me. You have to tell me. Don’t worry, that this will disturb me, or anything, but you should ask. I know about everyone. Maybe I’ve not met that person, but I can feel the vibrations.


SENSITIVE – to Vibrations
I was telling them about Christ. What was His power? His power was of love and not of anger, because He is the One Who has crossed the most difficult center of Agnya. 
Those people who have ego, never realize they have ego.
With their ego they do all kinds of nonsensical things. Without asking me they have done something in Delhi, without asking Me they have done something in Russia, and it’s so destructive to Sahaja Yoga, that they don’t realize what they have done is a crime which is punishable by all divine laws.
If you want to do anything you must tell me beforehand, you must consult me, you must talk to me because I know what is happening, you don’t know. 
If somebody wants to cheat you, then how will you know?
If you were so sensitive, you would find out!
You would have asked me, “Mother, what should we do?” At least ask me. 
This is the main thing missing among Sahaja Yogis now, that we have a kind of a very subtle ego. 
If you make somebody a leader, it’s very dangerous sometimes, if the leader develops ego because of his wife. It’s a very difficult thing. They can destroy Sahaja Yoga completely. Anything is possible. 
So before you do anything like that, you have to consult. I’m still living, and you can ask, you can write to me, you can telephone too. At least I’m there to tell you. 
But then, you have to develop your balance and your love. 
That is only through this Paramachaitanya, with this All-Pervading Power of Divine Love, 
you can develop that discretion, you can develop that special powers…./…
I don’t say that you can become like me, but at least you have vibrations to see. 
Also see your own vibrations. 
How are you moving? Put a paper on your hand and you’ll see it will start shaking before my photograph. With this ego you cannot go further. Why did you come to Sahaja Yoga? 
You came here, not to become some sort of a leader or some sort of a king, but you came here to become a great Guru, as you asked me, Guru-pada dijiye. For that you have to have in Sahaja Yoga a complete humility, natural humility, natural balance. This is what Christ has taught us. 
At that time, I don’t think people had that much ego. 
Ego is a modern present to you. People get ego out of anything.

LAST DIWALI, 2007: Shri Mataji "wanted from us"...

DIWALI 2007 has received the most un-understandable edition in Sahaj ever! 
W H Y ?,  are you asking, dear readers...
Because Shri Mataji spoke about corruption, lies and thefts in India, and insisted that we Sahaja Yogis do some things: 

»... I WANTyou all to make a resolution: From today onwards, I will not tell lies, never ever lie. .../...
»  On this day of Diwali,  I WANTto tell you all that  : 
the meaning of Diwali is that the Hell is full of darkness and you all are enlightened. You are expected 
to fight wherever there is darkness,  and let them know that they are wrong deeds.  .../...
 »  I WANT the Sahaja Yogis to form a committee 
and if you come across any theft ,
then it should be brought to the notice of the committee 
and then see, what the committee does.
 In this way you will get fame and you will reach to a very high position. 
So the first thing would be that neither should you be dishonest nor let others to be dishonest. .../...
»  And, Sahaja Yogis, 
even if twelve Sahaja Yogis
Video capture sometimes... cut...
 come together, and if they come to know that he is DISHONEST, 
then the Divine will be there to SUPPORT  .../...»
Now... 
Did "we" do anything to obey Mother??? 8 years have passed... 
Why so surprised...?

Here are the different versions of this Hindi talk:

Back to the FUTURE: a collective introspection

from the movies "back to the Future"
1985:
Our idea is that by God's grace we are so many, and 
if we want,
we can transform the world.
We can bring peace,
joy and bliss to this world.
We could be blissful  -if we count our blessings
and we'll be joyous if you get rid of your tags. 
We'll have to fly. Then only we can be joyous.
And for this, we have to have our balance,
our ascent

and then,
the desire to fly into the whole universe.
How to do it?
You can find out yourself. It's not difficult.
How can I do it?
Face yourself, find out about yourself. Don't justify yourself. Don't be miserable. Some people identify themselves with miseries and like to enjoy their miseries. Stupid things these are, absolutely. Such miserable looking people have nothing to do with Sahaja Yoga.
So, you have to be joyous, happy, balanced, well-behaved, sober. 
Outwardly it will show whatever is inward.
All your dignity will express - if there's dignity! See, if you just have a dignity outside, it will drop out in no time.
So all these things can be built from inside out, not outside in. And once they are built outside also, then they are best. But outside, what we have to do is to put ourselves outside, that's all.
"Now Nirmala is sitting there. I'm sitting here. Now Nirmala tells Me, then I tell Nirmala. "
Let's work it out that way. And when we work it out, then things will be very easy because now you have a state where you are separated from yourself.
Day before Sahasrara Puja, 1985; Vienna

So, that is the state of Nirvikalpa
where you are not attached to anything.
You don't have any habits, you are not attached to anything, you have no diseases, you have no troubles, you are above everything. 

You do not try to complicate things for Me. You do not try to say things more than Me.
You just take it a hint, sufficient, "Mother said so. All right."
But some people have another bad habit, "Mother said so. So this is so."
Use your discretion: How can Mother say?
If She has said something, there must be something in it, must understand.

I’m just a mirror - of petty -isms
Nine powers
---------------------------------------------------
Today is a great day of Navaratri, we are sitting on the cusp of the sixth and the seventh. Sixth and the seventh is the day when Mahasaraswati finished Her work and the incarnation of the shakti itself started. So twelve o’clock today the Devi takes the shakti upon Herself. Of course as you know that Mahakali and Mahasaraswati both are the powers of Shri Sadashiva. Adishakti first formed Herself into Mahakali, which is the power of desire. But all these powers are nothing but the power of God’s love.
So in the series of this great love of God, Adishakti had to first become the power of desire. In the same way, Sahaja Yogis, who are bestowed with this power of love, have to have full desire in their heart, desire to love. That desire is very different from the other kinds of human love we have known. 
Disappointing expectations and privilege of real love: kriyasheet
In other kinds of human love, when we have relations with others we have expectations, and that’s why it is very disappointing. Our expectations always run higher than our understanding and realities. And so we suffer from disappointments and frustrations. And the love that has to be nourishing and fulfilling becomes a thankless job. So when it reflects in the human beings, it is the desire to be loved by everyone, not to love others. Everyone should love you, but how far you love another is the point. Naturally everyone for oneself, so really nobody loves. 
But when it comes to real love, then sacrifice becomes a nature. You don’t call it a sacrifice, but you call it a privilege. We say it’s privilege to give love. It’s a great chance that we can love, it’s our great fortune that you can love, it’s God’s blessings that we can love and give. So the giving starts when you realize, not understand but realize the love, the power of love expressing. That’s the third power, which starts expressing because after this a person becomes active, kriyasheet. That’s how the action of achieving that state of giving love starts. To begin with we start activating in so many ways. 
As I said, we start expecting and thinking that we are loving others, we act for that. In that madness that others should love us, others should respect us, others should think we are great, they should recognize us, we start loving something else which is not so important.
Others should love us - Money and power
So we go on first to money, money becomes a very important point. We think that if we have money people will love us, we become very powerful as money, money people, as rich people. So we start accumulating money, we start loving the money. But money is not the truth; we don’t love the truth. When we start loving the money we start thinking about problems of money. Such people can become miserly to such an extent that even towards God they become miserly. They never have money actually, because if you cannot spend your money, you have no money. If it is not available, what’s the use of having all the money? That’s how they have problems, because they love money and not the God Almighty. They’re worried about money, but not about the truth.
Then with that they go to a second thing – is the power. They want to have the power; they want to become presidents, ministers and bureaucrats and all that. They want to have the power, they think by having great power people will respect them and love them. But they get drowned in fear. What they get is fear, all the time they have fear. Also money people have fear. That’s why in the Bible it is said that wages of sin is fear. What is sin? Sin is not to love the truth – is the sin. When you don’t love the truth, then it is sin. So when you start getting worried about your positions, like the president feels that he’ll lose his job, the vice president thinks that he’ll be sacked, the prime minister thinks he may not be elected, the bureaucrats think they will lose their jobs, they won’t get promotions or something, there will be problem. All these people are suffering from terrible sense of fear. They have no freedom of any kind. And in that category people just go down so much with fear, that even worse than people with money. Because once they are lost they are lost, they can never revive. No chance. 
Once you lose the elections you are lost, nobody going to look at you. I’ve known people who have been at a very high position and once they lose that position nobody looks at them, they just walk like straight, otherwise there will be at least hundred cars to receive them. And once they lose their jobs there’s nobody even to look at them, they just walk like ordinary people. Even seeing all these things happening, this truth just coming before them so clearly, they do not keep to that truth, they do not realize that truth, they do not have that realization within them. They understand for a while and they go after that. 
Then when the person dies, they see a money man, a rich man is forgotten, nobody’s bothered about them, who was a rich man. On the contrary, the people, the prime ministers and all those high ranking people, when they die immediately books start coming out about their private life, their … all the dirty things they did and all the horrible things they did and what sort of a life they led. There’s no fragrance in their life, no idealism, nothing. Because responsibility that they have to the public and to themselves they have not understood it and they made a mess of their private life. That’s why this kind of a reaction comes after death. 
Popularity
The other day I was reading an interview with a very well known actor. He’s a born-realized fellow, I know, but he’s gone down completely. He says, “I think, what’s the harm in drinking, what’s the harm in gambling, what’s the harm in smoking? Because, after all I’m going to die and then who is going to bother? Supposing, I get cancer, so what? In any case I’m going to die. So why not enjoy these pleasures of life?” 
But what about death? You continue. Then all that you’ve been doing will come out and people will not to like to have your photograph in the household. Children will spit at you. What about that? Your life is not what it is today for three-four years or ten years or fifteen years of your so-called success. But when you die all this craziness will disappear and people will come out with truth about you. That is how this power to be popular finishes off. This cheap popularity, this cheap type of treatment towards yourself gives you a personality that will not be worshiped, that will not be accepted, nobody will quote you as something great. For some time it will continue, but in totality such a person has given nothing to humanity.
Saraswati : finding out the truth. 
That’s how the power of Saraswati works. People go into action for achieving results of getting into power. 
But it should act to discover the truth. Saraswati should give you the link to find out the truth. That when you act in those funny places and streets you discover this is not the path, we have missed it. The path is somewhere else, we’ve lost it. Let us find out the real path, because this doesn’t give joy. This one can learn from others, from history, from so many other things and from your own parents, from your society and from yourself and from your children also. If you want to learn, that is the quality of Saraswati pujaris, that they take to gyana, they take to reality. Vedas, in the beginning of the Vedas, is said that if by reading these four Veda, if you do not get the veeda, veeda is the knowledge on your nerves, means Realization, there is no use reading these Vedas.
So the Saraswati’s first thing is that through the reading, through the process of Saraswati’s manifestation you must reach a point to understand that this is the rat race and we have to get out of it, we have to step out. When that happens, then the Mahalakshmi Tattwa starts working in you, that is the third tattwa, which starts working. 
Mahalakshmi : expressing the love 
Mahalakshmi Tattwa then starts expressing its love in its full extent through evolutionary process in human beings. He starts evolving simultaneously, he sees on both the sides what’s happening, like a witness and he uses his Mahalakshmi power. In the first part of the Mahalakshmi power he starts getting out of the common rut of the family bondages and the other human bondages of power, money, lust; and he starts moving on a higher plane. He gives us a new idea of popularity by establishing the truth, because through Mahalakshmi power you discover the truth on your central nervous system and ultimately it is the light of an enlightened brain.
When the Mahalakshmi power starts manifesting, one starts thinking of others
Not on material level, that materially people are suffering, “Now there are people in Ethiopia, who’ll save? We must give them some food, this, that.” No. 
They go to the roots of the problems. Why? 
Or they don’t think there should be equal distribution of money and wealth. No. This is superficial. Because wherever it is done, people are not happy. They feel they have no freedom. Those people who have money are not happy because they have a demonic life, where they are free they behave like devils. No sense of totality, no sense of collectivity. When they become like that, they even do not realize that they have become demonic. Everything becomes like a big martyr. They fight for lands, they fight for nations, they fight for rights and they do all kinds of horrible things. Start destroying people, human beings, all the turmoil of today is the effect of - mostly in the West, and also all the Arabic countries, I would say - is of the right side. 
And in the East it is of the left side, the turmoils. It’s very surprising that where … it’s very contrasting also. 
Video capture
A funny dilemma for me. 
It’s a funny dilemma for me. I can’t understand it sometime that where they are so particular about the chastity, they become when they are so much worried about chastity and everything, that they should have problem of the left side. They do puja, they have shraddha, they are like Catholics, we can say, are never rich people. Few seldom, except in Switzerland, I think, here everybody’s rich , because they are so money-oriented. 
So, or the people where they are right sided, when they neglect their chastity, not bothered about the right side, they have the problems of the right side, is very surprising. The reason is where they look after the chastity part they go too much into it. 
Will puja help you?
Now, supposing a person is doing a puja. He just goes on doing puja, puja, puja morning till evening, without any activity. 
Very easy to do puja, isn’t it? Just come down, somebody does puja for you, get the vibrations, nicely blessed, go home Nothing to be done, no activity. So there is no balance. So they do puja and they think, “Oh, they have done very well.” 
No: if you are a right sided person, then puja will help you, but not if you are a left sided person.
«I’m neither left nor right nor anywhere.»(Video capture)

Puja does help, of course, My Puja will help, no doubt, in both the sides, because I’m neither left nor right nor anywhere.
So the puja part when they do … supposing a man is doing a puja to a Devi. In India they take a great courage to do puja to a Devi, you do not know that. Saptashati. That’s where we have that thing that the way people do, they get possessed, they can’t understand. First of all they have a statue of someone made by some horrible fellow. When they will do the puja of that Goddess, they are God-fearing, everything is good, we have got temples where there are also, we can say, swayambhus from the Mother Earth, which are worshipped and should be all right, but no, they get possessed. Why? Because most of them, these temples are hounded by or haunted by spirits. Because they do all kinds of tantaric things there. And when people go and do the pujas there what happens to them? That they get attacked, they become more left sided.
The Swayambhu--stone of the Ka'aba.
Formless and aggression 
Now the Muslims and others who believe in a God which is nirakara, which is formless, they go to the right side. There’s formless God, it’s nice, formless everywhere is God, in Me, in you, everyone there is God, everybody’s God. Even if you are a devil, you are God. There’s nothing wrong with anyone, everybody’s God, starts on that principle. 
So they go onto supraconscious side and they become demonic. Then they must fight, because they are devils. Devils have to fight, otherwise how will they exist? They fight, they aggress, they go to other countries, aggress them, capture them, all the time they are thinking of aggressing others. 
In a subtler way they aggress, nowadays the media is aggressive in the West. There are so many ways of aggression and to them aggression is something is very dharmic. For anything. They’ll ask direct questions, arrogant, insulting and cruel, they become cruel. That’s how the turmoil starts when we start using the power of Saraswati in a wrong way or the power of Mahakali in the wrong way.
That’s why in Sahaja Yoga before the Puja we have to go into lot of activity. You have to decorate the hall, you have to get the flowers, you have to organize everything beautifully. Look at the roses, how beautiful they are. Then you starts balancing yourself with all these activities you do. And then you sit down for puja. That’s like in the daytime you work, in the night you sleep. To rest, to get the place you must be active. Like they have to climb Himalayas to achieve meditation. Because when you are tired, you can be restful afterwards. 
Otherwise, if you get somebody, say, from Switzerland only, the very speedy person for meditation, you’ll have to put the glue on him to settle down because he’ll be frantic, you know, all the time. Will be all the time jumping. 
So the activity has to come before the puja, the balance has to be established. So the ladies have to find out the saris and the blouses and this and that and they have to worry about putting the flowers, arranging things, this, that. Lot of activities! We have to travel. 
For English it was necessary to travel all the way from England to arrange their money and rooms and everything to come here, to go to futuristic side, to think what they are going to pay, how they are going to pay back their loans. All this futuristic planning they have to do before they come to Switzerland. Switzerland being the most active place, it’s better to have the puja here, so they are not so much active. That’s how the Devi arranges everything.
The play of the Devi is the Navaratri 
So the ascent starts evolving in that the play of the Devi is the Navaratri. In your ascent from ages, Navaratri that’s why is the most important Puja. In Sahaja Yoga, Navaratri is the most important puja. Though we can say in modern Sahaja Yoga Sahasrara Day is, because that’s how you started getting your Realization. 
But if you go to the whole historical events of evolution you’ll find Navaratri is the one which has brought you to Sahasrara. Without the help of the Devi at different stages of your ascent, you could not have been in a position to receive your Realization. So all the steps that you took in the past are today worshipped and are used for thanking the Devi for what She did to bring you down. So it’s like a thanksgiving. Without Her work nothing could have happened.
So when we read about the Devi, about Her incarnations, how She came on this earth to save Her bhaktas, people who are trying to ascend, to cross this Bhavasagara, how She worked hard, how She fought the devils, how She fought, She killed the demons single-handed, She took upon Herself the responsibility of making the people cross the Bhavasagara. Guru gave you the strength, taught dharma, but She’s the one who brought you out. Even those who were dharmic could not do it because of the demonic pressure. She’s the one who fought single-handed with Her powers of destruction. In Her love for you She fought, She brought you to this level. 
Navaratri is like a Mother’s Day
And then She took a milder form of incarnation. Even during the time of all the gurus She took the form of, as you know, Janaki was the daughter of Janaka. Then Fatima was the daughter of Mohammed Sahib and Nanaki was the sister of Nanaka. In those forms, these Powers sustained and nourished the Guru Tattwa and later on or sometimes simultaneously They incarnated in milder forms to help human beings to rise. So today is the day of thanksgiving. 
As Guru Puja is a day of thanksgiving to your Guru, the One who has counsel you, the One who has told you about the truth, the One who has taught you the truth and has given you Realization. 
And the Devi Puja is a thanksgiving where single-handed, just like a very loving mother, under Her sari She’s protected you, fought for you, fought with every enemy that is around, every sort of problems that existed and ultimately brought into Sahasrara level and then gave you Realization. It’s a real thanksgiving to the Mother. So we can say Navaratri’s like a Mother’s Day where you give thanksgiving to Her, which was just relentless, continuous working for Her children.
Motherhood, guruhood, and Realization
During the puja,Shri Mataji cuts a nail - to be used against N**asura

Motherhood is much more important than the guruhood. Because guru is the one who trains you, makes you efficient. But the Mother forgives, She loves you, She sustains you and She teaches you how to love. She has tremendous patience and tremendous love and She does it single-handed, She doesn’t expect anything from you. Absolutely selfless. 
Selfless is a very small word I should say, it’s such an expansive compassion which engulfs everything that is wrong, dissolves it, digest it, absorbs it. So it’s a very great day of Navaratri is for all the Sahaja Yogis. 
Because then She took Her form as Sita, as the Power of Shri Rama, silent potential, suffering, how much She suffered, how much She suffered! Then She took the form of Radha. Then She came as five powers of Saraswati as the five wives of Shri Krishna. 
Then She came as Mary. That was the greatest suffering, I think, to see the Son being crucified. The suffering – silent, patient suffering - She had to go through it. All that drama to see was too much. She went through all that because you all had to cross your Agnya Chakra, She had to sacrifice Her Child. It’s easy for father to do that, very difficult for a mother. Now you are all mothers, so many of you, you will know what it is to have a child and how one feels about it. 
After doing that, She comes to the state where You have to give your Realization. Is a work of tremendous patience, as you know. It’s tremendous patience and understanding. Human beings, as the time advanced, have evolved no doubt for Realization, but also evolving to very funny, stupid, crooked nonsensical ways. It’s impossible to understand how they go about with their stupid ideas and how troublesome they can be. They can be very crooked, funny, troublesome to such an extent that sometimes even it is difficult to forgive.
Subtler temptations after coming to Sahaja Yoga 
Despite that so many of you are here today in Europe in the land of the Guru, here I find who have got Realization. So the Mother’s pride, Mother’s joy knows no bounds, no doubt about it. It’s such a great thing to see Her children sitting here to receive all the powers from Her. Now again when we are in this situation we have to know the first principle with which the whole thing started, that it is the power of love. It is the power of love that has brought you to this state and it’s the power of love that you will expression manifest, you will evolve.
Now, after coming to Sahaja Yoga also the temptations become subtler and subtler. 
We try to do Sahaj Yoga, we try to spread Sahaja Yoga, sometimes for the powers. 
Maybe you are lonely so you want to have more Sahaja Yogis. 
Maybe you do it because you think that that’s how you spread your powers. 
Even their problems on leadership, I find ego problems there are. Somebody’s appointed a leader then another feels bad, this, that all goes on. I see the drama goes on, like small children they fight. 
What is this leadership? Is just artificial, is not even noted in any newspaper. As they have mock governments we have a mock leadership. So then people fight for that, it’s become subtler, the power struggle goes on becoming subtler.
Then again money problems come up. 
Some people think that Sahaja Yoga is a very big way of making money. 
Or some people think that “We can get lot of money, because Mother blesses people with money, affluence, so let us be in Sahaja Yoga,” but don’t spend a single pai, you see, just manage it. 
No, it’s not like that. Is the other way round! It’s again another dilemma is there, that in India which is a place of poverty compare to all of you, everyone donates money. 
Making statues
Of trustees and  5000 Rps
All the trustees in every center wherever there are trustees, have to donate at least five thousand rupees to become the trustees. Of course, I don’t get anything out of it, but I must have donated I don’t know how many how much Myself to become the Trustee of Sahaja Yogis. But you have to donate. 
And when you become miserly again that means, again, is the same thing going on. We have bank balances but the source is finished and you have nothing left. 
The bank balance should be with God. Then He gives you interest more than the capital. Is there any bank which does that? At least not the Swiss Bank - you have to pay for keeping money with them. 
Freedoom for realised-born children. 
That’s how it is. You should tap, always try to go to the source. This becomes subtler and subtler in the sense that people think that now their children are realized souls. All right, so what? They are not Gods, are they? 
They get so involved with their children, I mean, this is another stupidity women fall into. But to them their child is so important, they get so adhered to the child. I mean, first they used to neglect the children, now they become so attached to their children that they look like glue to people all the time. 
And such children cannot grow properly unless and until you give them freedom.
Give them full freedom to grow. 
But guidance, of course that they are majestic people, meaning Sahaja Yogis, they are born realized as a Sahaja Yogi, as a good Sahaja Yogi how they should behave. 
Have a rapport, talk to them, tell them about it how they should develop that self-respect within them that they should be like this.
Not to glue them to you. That’s not the way. 
Children will never grow properly, even physically, if you glue them to yourself. 
In the West now I see new ideas coming up that the children must be glued to the mother. This is from one extreme to another extreme. They become very left-sided. Even if they’ll be grown up in age, they won’t grow up in their brains, they won’t grow up in their behavior if they are glued with the mother. If they cry for a light little bit, doesn’t matter, but the children must be made to sleep away from mother. All the time you should not carry your children in your lap, there is no need at all. But this is not that the child wants, is the mother who wants this kind of a thing. 
And some fathers also I’ve seen glue down to their children and then they say, “Mother, my child is spoiled, he’s like this, like that.” Such children will get possessed very fast if you make the children dependant on you, very fast they’ll become possessed. 
If you make them over-independent, “You are on your own,” like the other side was that :
when we were in Oxted a girl of seven years used to come and give us newspapers. And she was a daughter of a Lord. At about five o’clock in the morning, in that cold, she used to climb up all the way on the bicycle delivering those newspapers. And when I told her mother, “What are you doing? It’s very dangerous, this child is in danger, she’s a girl, how can you do that to her?” she said, “No, no, she has to be on her own.”
So, the one side is to be on her own and another side is to glue them, is again the same subtle attitude of possessiveness, is possessiveness, “This is my child, I must look after the child, the child is self-realized soul, this, that.” 
The homo-geneous feeling comes through children.
Only your child is not realized soul, everybody’s child is the realized soul in Sahaja Yoga. 
How much do you do for other’s children? 
Or only you look after your own child? 
The custom should be: if you buy one thing for your child, buy two more things for another child; buy better things for another child and less things for your child. Let your child share his things with others. At the time when you are buying something, buy something that he can share. Teach him how to share. 
Because though they are realized souls, with the mothers and the fathers like this they’ll become again the same miserly old style people, quarrelsome, fighting, beating each other, troubling each other. So be careful! 
Being realized soul, you’ll be surprised, they will be extremely, extremely convenient for you. Give them to other Sahaja Yogis to handle, depend on them, let them look after. 
And the homogeneous feeling comes through children, children are the ones who bind each other. 
But, “Don’t touch my child! This is my child!” You close the door as soon as somebody comes in. That’s you are going back in the same way as your mothers have been. 
There’s no war on in Sahaja Yoga. We are in a government of God. This realization has to come: there is no need to seek all these useless things, these pleasures of life. 
Billions and billions of powers of Adi Shakti.
Understand your responsibility, that you are Sahaja Yogis first and last and in the middle. 
And as Sahaja Yogis what is your duty?
Is to be completely dedicated for the betterment and the benevolence of others. That’s the only thing which is going to nourish you to rise. 
If you look after your children like this, like mad, it’s not going to help you, you’ll have problem. If you neglect your children, you will have problems. So come in the center and be just witnesses of all that. 
It’s a very common failure in the beginning of every Sahaja Yogi who comes to Sahaja Yoga. They’ll send Me the list of five generations on this side and five generations on this side. “My fathers, brothers, sisters, this thing, that thing, real cousins, real this thing is sick. So please, Mother, put Your attention.” And when I put My attention, the attention returns back, I can’t find that. It starts like that to begin, all right, in the beginning I say, “All right, just now they have entered.” But you don’t know these are tentacules which should keep you down, they do not allow you to rise in the domain of God. 
In the domain of God everything that is yours, even your hair, are looked after by God Almighty. Every thing, can you understand that, can you realize that? Is all done by billions and billions and billions of powers of Adi Shakti. What can you do yourself? Nothing! Except for worrying and troubling. 
Old times... 
Many sides 
of God's benevolence
So just if you believe and assume that power today that you are in the domain of God, which is active benevolence, the nature of it is active benevolence, as we say hita
If you are sick, it is for your benevolence; if you are all right, it is for your benevolence. 
If you have money, it is for your benevolence; if you don’t have money, it is for your benevolence. 
Everything does good for you in the domain of God. 
Do not judge it according to your own standards. 
Whom do you think to be a person who is benevolent in this world, apart from me? Really, in the real sense of the word?
Supposing you take a man who is very rich, is he benevolent? No. Is he happy? No. Is he respected? No. At least he has to be a realized soul to be somewhere near that description. 
And if you have to ascend in the domain of God, you have to know that everything works through His power: your activity, your inactivity, your sleep, everything is worked through His powers of love. 
Love can never harm, can never destroy. You go little ahead with it and it showers flowers upon you. 
You must know your nature
But understand your nature. Supposing you are a left-sided person. Mostly I’ve seen left-sided persons always want to do My pujas. 
And the right-sided person are organizing. 
Do the other way round. 
Must know your nature, give yourself a balance, and then enter into the Kingdom of God. 
Like you entering into a door, say for example, and you have too much load on your back, meaning you are a left-sided person. Then take down the load from your back on your head and enter in. But if you have too much on your head, put it on your back and enter in. Because you’re tired, you do it every day. 
Supposing this hand is tired (Shri Mataji shows Her right hand), you put it on the left hand. I see in aeroplane, when people are walking they are holding it in one hand and automatically when it is tired, they put it to the left. Automatically! They are not Sahaja Yogis. 
In the same way in life also, if you have done one-sidedness too much, try to do the other side and give yourself a balance.
Navaratri is the day to give you the balance. 
Those whose right hand is tired will get the power in the left hand. Those who have the left hand tired will get the power on the right hand to share the load. So those who are having money problems will solve their money problems. And those who have sleeping problems will solve their sleeping problems. 
But one can say if somebody has both, then what do they do? I know of somebody, I lived there, in that country. When they have more the power, they sleep as well as they have money, they are not bothered. 
So, for such people what should we do? Of course, I won’t tell you, but one has to do something about it. One has to work out something. They just don’t move and if you tell them, answer is: “I know. I know I sleep a lot, I know I’m like this. I know. I know.” That’s it. Then what do you say? It stops you completely, you can’t go further. If they know, what more to be told? This is a complete mountain there standing just to finish you completely.
You have 
to do it yourself
So one has to do. Everyone has to do something. Somebody is working it out. Somebody, say, is doing some work, and another is not helping. Then that doesn’t … cannot be completed, it’s a collective work, you cannot, one person cannot do it. I’ve seen it happens like this. It’s a collective work. So we come to the position that Navaratri today is not the work of Mother only, which She did so far, is the work of every one of you. 
I cannot do it single-handed. If I could, there was no need for you to be here, I would have built the aeroplane, put you there, pushed them some or other, lock it up and put you there. It’s not possible. 
You all have to carry your own aeroplanes, build it up and carry it yourself with dignity, not like small children, so you have to mature. And for that maturity it’s a collective thing that has to take place. 
In the beginning in the school, all right, they’ll teach you two plus two is equal to four. 
But when you go to the college, you have to do it yourself, solve the problem yourself. And that’s what it is today. 
Sahaja Yoga is good, you get your Realization in these modern times, but the maturity has to take place, otherwise: useless! 
Up to the seed it was all right, but once it is sprouted it must become the tree, otherwise is useless. 
«...every cell of  your body»
The Devi 
has become collective
And that, all of you have to do together, helping each other, understanding each other. And everyone has to work it out. 
Even if one person suffers, I suffer. 
The whole thing has become collective. 
The Devi has become collective. It’s a venture, it’s a venture, I know, too much of it. 
There was no other way out. It’s like crucifixion of every part of your body, every cell of your body. 
But it’s all right.
So today instead of feeling guilty, you should be filled with tremendous courage and tremendous enthusiasm that we have to do it, because Mother has gave us the power. 
We can do it, nothing should keep us down. And we are going to help each other. One person is doing one job, nobody will look at it, you see, they won’t just move, “I know, I’m sitting down, I know I don’t worry because I know.” 
And in Sahaja Yoga, it has become even subtler, “I want to do, but there’s a bhoot in me which doesn’t allow me to do it.” So you get out with your bhoot! - that’s what it is. 
All these arguments are stupid, of no value in Sahaja Yoga. That means you have not understood the meaning of Sahaja Yoga, you have not understood the meaning of yourself and you have no respect for your life. That’s what it is. If you indulge into such thinking, then it is no good. 
But today you have to promise to yourself and to Me within your heart that you are going to be filled with that enthusiasm and that shakti. 
Time has come, which is going to make you real Yogis, complete dedication. 
What’s wrong with us?
Imagine these PLO people what they are doing fearlessly. I mean, all kinds of people you see around you even in Kali Yuga so dedicated to something nonsensical. 
Why can’t we be dedicated to something so sensible? They are not afraid of anything, they are dare-devils. Why can’t we become like that? What’s wrong with us? 
So, every one of us must have that enthusiasm and “I’m an institution by myself. When I’m going to do it, I’m not going to take advantage of the ashram life, nicely settled down in the ashram, you see, very good, cheap.”
No. 
We are all going to move out also and take up a place somewhere there. For the time being ashram is all right. But then give more room to others are coming. You get out of it: go out and stay somewhere and work it out!
When in the ashram, “This is my house, I’ve spent money for this, this is my furniture, this is this thing, that thing.” Actually you should know how to live on a string, shoestring, as they say, on a shoestring. 
Of course now I’m feeling every ashram has such a lot of furniture than they have to. Better live on a shoestring! So the tapasya starts. Go into a penance yourself. 
But then, I will hear, “Mother, I’m on a tapasya, I’m eating only once.” Ah, and who ask you to be on tapasya? 
Enjoy! Enjoy your tapasya! Then it is Sahaja, otherwise: nonsense! Enjoy, if you can enjoy your tapasya, then you are Sahaj with enthusiasm. Look at these PLO’s, look at these people, do they say, “We are going in a tapasya?” Nothing! You’ve examples of people around you. 
But we can’t say, “They are possessed by bhoots.” Or even if they are: what about you? You better get possessed by Sahaj bhoots for a change, if that’s the way only you can be motivated!
I’m just a mirror ... of petty-isms.
So tell your mind, “No explanations, nothing doing, I am going to show my work.” 
But all the time if the attention is just to show off or to be in my attention or to be in contact with me, to be writing to me or something, is not going to help at all. 
I’m just a mirror and you see within Myself yourself in the true way. And also this mirror is full of maya. 
So devil may look into this mirror and may look like a saint to him. 
If he has ego he might look like a saint to himself. 
Or if he’s a left-sided person he might think he is the incarnation of Bhairava, he might! 
But if he is truthful, he can see clearly that he is the highest of highest, is a Sahaj Yogi. And unless and until you see yourself like that, know that it’s a maya. 
So: to realize that you have achieved a lot by getting your Realization, of rising so much higher above all these petty ideas. Every idea is petty, whether it is economics, politics, philosophy, any -ism, anything is all petty for a Sahaja Yogi, because none of them know even this much about God’s domain. 
What are they talking about is economics. They do not know anything about His politics. They do not know anything that there is a miraculous power which rules the whole universe and which is so efficient, which never fails, so timely, so sensible, so interesting, dramatic. 
See how we have all these things, in no time!
How we got to this place! I was to have this puja here. All this, you know, how I came here. See the miracle working, how the powers of the Divine working. You be the proper instrument of the Divine. 
Nine powers
And it has another force, as I told you centripetal and centrifugal, and you might be thrown out. So be careful on that point, face yourself in truthfulness, do not get pampered by your ego or morosed by your superego. Just see for yourself as a powerful instrument of love. But in love you do not become indiscrete. Steadily, beautifully, gently you attend to it. 
«... You become the power itself...»
And so much power can be born. You’ll be amazed that water, which looks something so frivolous to us has so much power in it. You know about hydrostatics. This Mother Earth which looks so simple, we walk on Her on our feet. She attracts us on our self. She’s spinning with such a speed Herself, She keeps us sticking on to Her, She’s doing thousand and thousand of tremendous jobs, this great Mother Earth. She looks so simple. She’s so powerful. 
In the same way you have {been} made out of this Ganesha Tattwa, which is so tremendous. 
This Navaratri should give you that power, those nine powers of nine chakras. 
Seven chakras you already know. Above that, you become a master yourself, and then, you become the power yourself

May God bless you!

«...There isn't much space in the Kingdom of God...»

So, let us try on the first level, where there are genuine seekers of a high level, and you will be amazed how they are SORTED OUT.
You see, there isn't much space in the Kingdom of God, to be very frank. 
And we should not worry if we don't have many people over there. 
For us, it is a responsibility we must have all the population of this world going up there - is wrong idea. 
That's not needed at all, you see; we should not crowd them there. Here only, we can't sit all of us here, we'll have to have a bigger place. So we should not bother so much as to the quantity, that the quantity is not much. 
Of course we should try our level best to pass the message, because they should not say that 'We did not get the message.'
Pass the message is all right, but we need not in any way force people or ask them to come to Sahaja Yoga or make them Sahaja Yogis; it's a difficult thing. 
The more you will try, the worse it will be; they will be so troublesome that it's going to be an impossible task.
So in your generosity you must have discretion: 
1982-1114: Diwali Puja, London,UK
Whatever is wrong is wrong, 
whether it is today, tomorrow or yesterday or thousands of year back, whatever is wrong for your dharma, for your sustenance is wrong! The new phrase, is that "What's wrong in this, what's wrong in that?" - That question will be answered by Kalki only! 
I'm just telling you that it is wrong, and it is extremely wrong, it is against your ascent, it is against your being, and then you will not have any time to repent and to ask this question: "What's wrong?" You will be chopped off. 
That is what, is the Kalki incarnation. He is going to come on a white horse, as they say. It's a tremendous thing that is going to work out! Every human being is going to be SORTED OUT 
And nobody can then claim! See? Everything is being advertised. Everything is being published ...
.../... One has to understand that such an incarnation is imminent! 
And Krishna's powers, are given to Him, which are only Hanana Shakti; Brahmadeva's powers, which are only Hanana Shakti are given to Him; Shiva's powers, which are just Hanana Shakti, the part of it which is a Tandava, is given to Him. Then, Bhairava's shakti, which is also, you know what Bhairava has got as a symbol of killing, is a big sword-like thing; and also Ganesha's Parusha; and also Hanumana's all Navasidhis, which are going to destroy, are given to Him. All Buddha's forgiveness, and Mahavira's Ahimsa, is going to turn upside-down.
All these eleven powers are going to come, on top of us 
when we will be finished with Sahaja Yoga, 
when we will be absolutely  SORTED OUT, 
and the last killing will be done by Him. 
I wish it was just a killing! 
It is not going to be ordinary Hanana, like even Devi has done. Because Devi has killed all these rakshasas thousands of years back, but they are back in the seat again, all these rakshasas. 
Now the problem is very different, at the present moment, which you should try to understand. That in the olden days, till the Krishna's time when He says, that "Yada yada hi dharmasya, glanir bhawati bharata. Vinashaya cha dushkruthaam panitra na echa saguna." These two words you must understand: to destroy the Dushkruthaam, means the, cruel people or the negative forces, and to save the saints. "Sambhavami yuge yuge", "I'm going to come again and again".
But the problem of the Kaliyuga is that, there is no pure and simple person as a sadhu or as a rakshasa. 
So many rakshasas have entered into your brains. You side with so many people who are wrong, who are doing wrong, who are doing all kinds of wrong things in the name of politics, in the name of religion, in the name of progress and education and all that. Once you are sided with them, then they are in your brain, they are within you. 
And when they are within you, how to destroy? 
The dushkruthaams, they are within you! You may be a good person, but you may be destroyed because of having them in your heads. 
So there is no hard and fast rule as to say who is a real negative and who is a real positive.
1979-0928: Relationship between Kundalini and Kalki, 
Public Program, Bombay, India
...then : What is your responsibility to Sahaja Yoga, which is the work of God, which has started and you are my hands?
You have to do the work of God, and you have to fight the anti-God elements, the satanic elements. You are not responsible for your family any more, those who are, are half-baked Sahaja Yogis I said, are useless absolutely good for nothing. All such will drop out, their families will suffer, I know this is going to happen.
Because now the forces are gathering in such a way that SORTING OUT will start. 
Your responsibility {is}to yourself, to be the spirit, your responsibility to Sahaja Yoga, your responsibility to understand Me, better and better and better. 
Your responsibility to understand this mechanism that is within you, your responsibility to understand how this mechanism works out everything.
The responsibility is to how to become a guru...
1982-1219: Shri Mahakali Puja, Lonavala, India

Question: This gentleman says that You said there was going to be a great Advent. What is this Advent?
Caxton Hall, GdK
Shri Mataji: It’s rather embarrassing. I think this answer we can do later on. But there is one great Advent who is going to come after this,  which is just going to SORT OUT everything.
There won’t be any chance left. 
There won’t be any more realizations.
There won’t be any comforting relationships. 
No meetings, no conferences, just the SORTING OUT  as described in the Bible.
Question: Is there any means to go against this SORTING OUT  that is going to take place?
Shri Mataji: What is it, the meaning?
Translator: Is there any means, any way to go out, to avoid this SORTING OUT ?
Shri Mataji: Yes, you can take your realization.
1983-0825: Public Program, Lausanne, Switzerland
But once you start dedicating yourself to Sahaja Yoga, immediately you'll find things will work out. Something, there is something you have done wrong, which you should not have done, or something is, you have not understood, you have done something under misunderstanding: try to find out! Things must sort out, they must soothe out in Sahaja Yoga. Everything SORTS OUT. 
Not only that, but I have seen it just becomes absolutely beautifully falling into line, and you are amazed how it works out, from a small thing to big thing. 
So if it is not working out in your life, there's definitely something wrong. So it is the morality of your, I should say, financial morality.
Also, there were some horrible mishaps we had in this country of yours, where horrible leaders came who were interested only in money, that's how they came to Sahaja Yoga. 
And what has happened to them, you know well...
