Shri Mataji's GUIDELINES to ELECTIONS and what to vote for...

LOVE FOR OTHERS

If you can enjoy love, you won't enjoy anything else but love for other people, and not for yourself. 
On the contrary you will see that your body, your mind, your thoughts, everything are directed towards creating love for others, and not for yourself. The whole attitude changes. Like in the darkness you can't see anything, but even there's a small light, it spreads all over. Nobody tells the light that “You have to spread the light all over,” but it does. In the same way you all are enlightened people, you are all enlightened with love; and the light of this love spreads automatically, spontaneously, sahaj.

FORGETTING THEIR BRANDS
I was also very much enamored the way our Yuva Shakti was dancing and enjoying. I think it's a very great blessing, because these days our young children, our young people are getting astray. They are not so badly off as in other countries, but quite a big trend is going on to spoil them and to make them a, what you’d call a very Westernized, spoiled personality. 
But now I saw so many of these dancing together, forgetting their caste, creed, everything, and enjoying each other's company.
This is something which has to happen in this country, and in every country, that we should all feel oneness and enjoy the oneness with each other.

If we do not enjoy we are like a drop outside the ocean, which can be dried any time. But if you are a part and a parcel of that ocean, then what happens is that every movement of the ocean you carry with you, and you are part and parcel of that ocean absolutely, because you do not have separate identity.
All these things that make a separate identity in our society or in our culture or in our behavior, in personal lives, all should be completely curbed down. 

THEY DON'T KNOW
And this will settle many problems, from family life to national life, to international life. So we should curb down all such feelings of separatedness, that we should have a separate house, separate state, separate nation.
Gradually all nations will become one, I am sure of that; because great times are coming, and so many people at the helm of affairs will take to Sahaja Yoga. 
Once they take to Sahaja Yog, then things will be very much different. Today it is not with them, Sahaja Yoga is not with them. They have no knowledge of our great movement of love, so they want to have separate of everything. 
They don't know tomorrow they will be scorched away with the heat around, or maybe with the rain they’ll be washed away, or maybe that the Mother Earth might absorb them.

So we all should be together, whatever may be the differences. In different families we are born – after all, all cannot be born in one family. But now you belong to Sahaja Yoga family, and this Sahaja Yoga family is one, it doesn't believe in having separate existence or separate speciality. We're all one with each other, and we don't care what sort of differences are outside.

WHAT IS THEIR NEED

I was really very much touched, because now the new year is coming with a new challenge for all of us which we have to accept, that Kali Yuga is over and we have to establish the Satya Yuga; for which all of you from every country should have thinking, how you can do it in your country and in other country. 
What are the problems in another country? 

Nice, France, 2016 close to the Italian border.

Put your attention outside, -not inside: this way that you should say that I need this, I need that, I need that. We should know what other people need: what is their need, what the people in our society, in our nation, in our world require? 
Better write them down: what do they require? It's better, it will work,  might be! It might be corrected. 

It's very important for Sahaja yogis to sit down and write down what the world needs, and what is to be done.
It will be a nice idea for all of you to really aspire for that kind of homogeneous society that we have here today. And we’ll be -one day- you will be surprised that we will be the ones who will guide and lead the rest of the people with our love, attention and care.
So it's very important time, and at this time we should all think on those lines.
Thank you very much. May God bless you.

Freedom, Plans and Responsibility

Many sahajis say that there is a plan of God, and that, anyway, everything we wish is happening somehow.
Shri Mataji, yes, spoke about a Plan: this was to send Her, as an Avatar, to do one job: connecting Man through the Sahasrara, so that his Free Will could be divine and collective. 
This Task ended in 2011. «His plans are spontaneous»
Now, we are connected, and God, the Paramchaitanya, is anxious to see how to adapt... to OUR PLANS, the plans She asked us to make «systematic». As Shri Mataji constantly taught:
1979: free, responsible, facing  a Spontaneous God.

... the Great Father has planned the whole thing in such a beautiful manner and He is going to look after His own creation. No one can destroy it. He is Almighty. 
Only thing is that you may destroy yourself, because 
He has made you free. 
He has given you freedom. 
He has treated you as a friend. 
Because if you have to be enrolled, you have to be a free person, and you must know how to enjoy the glory of freedom.
In that freedom if you have chosen something wrong then you cannot blame God [for it]. 

Spontaneous... 

But even!- if it is just a mistake, then He will work it out, with thousandfold of His glories and mercies, to see that you are safe. He is going to use all His powers to see that you receive, that you get what is promised. 
That is what Sahaja Yoga is. 
Sahaja means spontaneous. Perhaps we do not understand the full meaning of spontaneous, because spontaneous itself is an abstract word [to be] precise. 
It is just His spontaneous power that works it out. 
He is spontaneity Himself. 
And His powers are spontaneous. 
His plans are spontaneous. 
You can see everywhere how nature spontaneously bring thousands of things which we cannot answer, neither can we understand it, nor can we appreciate it. Like a little flower becoming a frui, and we take it for granted. If there are flowers, all right, take it! They are there. If they are fruits, we eat them. 
In the same way, we have taken for granted everything, and we have taken for granted Sahaja Yoga also. 
It's going to work out, going to be within you, and all of you are going to get it.

1996: You have to plan
On the whole, I was very happy with the other day's program, somehow. Despite, as usual, in New York, our inability to really do good advertising, unsystematic everything! Despite that, we had so many people, and I put the responsibility on them. 
Because that's the thing - it is Shri Krishna's responsibility. And that is what is your responsibility now. You are responsible for America and Canada, South America. 
You all are responsible, and you people should be such, that people who see you, listen to you, are with you, should know that these are the Gopa and Gopis of Shri Krishna. 
Unless and until that happens, this America is the most difficult place. Sometimes I feel it's not Gokul but Mathura.
(Gokul: Cowherd village of  shri Krishna's happy childhood; Mathura, the capital ruled by his evil Uncle.)

Bogota Ashram, 1994

So, now we have to understand that it's not only that we have vibrations, that we are all right, that you can cure some people
 is the last word - no! 
You have to spread it, you have to go in the public, you have to be collective on this point, and you have to spread Sahaja Yoga. 
With so many Sahaja yogis all over the world we have not progressed much. So now it is : you have to plan what you want to do, how you want to do it, and how you want to spread Sahaja Yoga. It's very important. 
Because you people are good at, say, talking about Sahaja Yoga, singing about Sahaja Yoga; all these things are useless, unless and until you have concrete proof of getting many more people in Sahaja Yoga.

2002: humanity depends on you
My father himself gave up all his property, gave up his practice, with eleven children in the family! And we [who] were living in palaces, [we] started living in huts, for days together, for years together. But - for the gross freedom we'll do anything- but for the subtler freedom,  the Sahaja Yogis have to do everything that is possible.
So, the first thing is to realize, to be aware, to be in your conscious mind all the time,  that

Shuddy Camps, 1987

you are yogis
you are the ones who are very much higher than the rest of the humanity, that 
the salvation of the whole of humanity depends on you. 
The purpose of creation will be served by you. 
So, first of all, you have to be conscious, in your consciousness, that you are so important, and that's why you were given Realization. 
How can you be living with your conditionings and with your ego?.../…

2008: It's a very responsibility
... you should act as teachers. To act as teacher you should know Sahaja Yoga, the theory and the practice of it, thoroughly well, and then you can become a guru. It's a very responsibility, lot of understanding, for a guru!
