SAHASRARA, 1970-2001

1) - 'I had to be Mahamaya'

It's a powerful work that was to be done, and that's why Adi Shakti had to take birth on this Earth.

It had to be before the sixth of May, because sixth of May was the doomsday in that year. 

So it was done on the fifth of May at the nick of the time. It was all decided beforehand, and every deity's job was allotted to all of them. Very efficient deities, very obedient, they knew Me very well, completely dedicated and devoted! They knew Me very, very well, every end of My hair they knew. I didn't have to teach them protocol. 
Love itself gives you protocol, but love that is divine, it's not selfish love. Is not the way we "love my child, my husband, my country, my clothes." It is the love which is divine, which spreads from your heart, from your spirit, like the light of knowledge. What a tremendous task it was!
So, as said, at Sahasrara I had to be Mahamaya. I had to be Mahamaya. 
I had to be something that people can't recognise Me easily. But deities? No. 
This Mahamaya had to come on this earth, not the Adi Shakti in Her purest form - it's too much. So She was covered with this Mahamaya.

2) -  'I saw all stones'
As soon as Sahasrara was opened the whole atmosphere was filled with tremendous chaitanya and there was tremendous light in the sky and the whole thing came on this earth as if a torrential rain or a waterfall. It's such a tremendous force as if I was unaware and got stupefied. The happening was so unexpected and so tremendous that I was stunned and I became completely silent at its grandeur.

I saw the primordial Kundalini rising like a big furnace, and the furnace was very silent but burning up here as it had, as if you heat up some metal and it has many colors, in the same way the Kundalini showed up like a huge furnace, say, of a, I can say, of a furnace which is like a tunnel. You see, these plants you have for coal burning to create electricity, and it stretched like a telescope one after another it came out tchu, tchu, tchu - like that it came out and the deities came and sat on their seats, on their golden seats and then they lifted the whole of the head like a big dome and opened it, and then this torrential rain completely drenched Me and I started seeing all that and got lost into the joy. I was like an artist seeing its own creation fulfilled; I felt the joy of great fulfillment.

1970

After coming out of that beautiful experience I looked around and I saw human beings so blind and I became absolutely silent. 
Then I desired that I should get the cups to fill this nectar, but I saw all stones. Sahasrara is the most beautiful part of your being. It is a big lotus with one thousand petals of different colors appearing like inflated flames. It is a thing which is seen by many people, but to see it pour that torrential rain was like these flames becoming a fountain - fountain of colors and of fragrance. Can you think of a flower pouring its color and its fragrance around?

3) -  'Nobody understood'... 
 “Without Atmasakshatkar your life is useless.” 
But what is Atmasakshatkar, is the knowledge about yourself. How can you have that knowledge unless and until you become one with this all-pervading Power?
So it was a very great thing, I felt, that this Sahasrara I could open in 1970. I realized I was overwhelmed because I knew this is the only trouble, it is the only obstacle human beings are having: 

because their Sahasraras are not open, that’s why they are going in the darkness, that’s why they are having wars, that’s why they are having all kinds of problems. But if their Sahasrara opens and if they become one with the divine Power, all their problems would be solved, every type of problem will be solved and they’ll be very happy people. I realized it and I was very happy, I was over-joyous. 
But nobody understood Me. I don’t know, they thought I must be talking something nonsensical. Nobody understood it what it is, because even in the shastras it’s not written about kundalini so clearly. Only one great saint called Gyaneshwara wrote it in his book in the sixth chapter, about the kundalini. It’s not so clear, only he said that with the kundalini you can get your awakening. Also you sing that song always I’ve heard, which says that “Oh Kundalini Mother, please be awakened!” 

But nobody knows that what this kundalini is and why are you singing that song. It was all in our country people used to sing in the village so clearly, but nobody understood the meaning of it. Just they used to sing as a, some sort of a bhajan or could be some sort of a music concert. But nobody knew what it was talking about. It was such a misunderstanding about everything. 

And all these poets also who have written clearly about awakening, about realization, everything was just in the books. They would read one line of the book, then stop there. Another person would start the another line, then he stops at another line, point; like that they were just reading. Same thing about all the scriptures. There was big misunderstanding created and was used for the purpose of their own self-interest. That is how we couldn’t get people who understood what was Self-realization. It was just for some money or for some certain type of a position to get, people started big, big organizations, very big religious organizations – I don’t know what to call them – but none of them were realized souls.  

Bodhidharma, Ming dynasty

For example, there was a great saint called Viditama (=Bodhidharma)  who went to China, and he started a religion called Zen.  Zen means dhyana. And he wanted to put Zen in such a manner that people become thoughtless. He made a big tank full of sand with patterns and put some stones, and he had said that “You sit on the edge of this pond and just see, but don’t think.” 

But people didn’t understand what it was. Normally anybody would go there and say, “Oh, this looks like some ships in the sea,” or all kinds of things. But nobody tried for thoughtless awareness. 
And I told some of them that this is for thoughtless awareness, but they couldn’t understand.

4) "they don't learn lesson in a easy way".
But in this Kali Yuga it is not going to work out. 
What is the resistance you can put in against such people? 
How can you fight them? 

Costs  of calamities for Insurances corporations

Circumstances will tell them. Life will be so difficult, 
with, all the time, weapons hanging on their heads, that they'll have to also seek the truth. 
It has to be done very genuinely. 
If they are seeking the truth they'll be surprised that this world is one, all human beings are one, and that is the destiny of human beings. 
But for that so many are to be killed, so many are to be destroyed, because they don't learn lesson in a easy way.Now your job is to give them Self-realization and change the people. 
That's the real thing you have to do as gurus. 

Stage of Guru puja, 2008

But what are we doing? 
We come to Sahaja Yoga -with what idea? We are working only on the periphery. 
Firstly we are worried about ourselves, how we can prosper, how can we become better off. Also there is greed. 
We do not see ourselves if we are aggressive, if we are trying to trouble others, if we have wrong ideas about ourselves, how we torture others. 
So first of all you have to cleanse yourself and accept your own problems, your own misgivings - these are to be faced. And challenge yourself: what are you doing? You are a Sahaja yogi, how can you hate someone, how can you trouble someone, how can you torture someone? 
This is the beginning of introspection,
