'I must say you have done no justice to me or to yourself.'

Krishna River... 

I have a vision no doubt, and I've been talking about it quite a lot; but [if] it ends up with the puja, it's not a good thing. 
I know some countries are very difficult. Try to find out what is the problem, why it is so very difficult. Attention has to be paid to this, that, what other human beings are doing, to destroy themselves, as if it is the part and parcel of the same game which we call as the Last Judgment; but let us, through our compassion and love, save as many as possible.

This is the work of Adi Shakti, not the work of any saint or any incarnation. They're all there, no doubt, they're all with us all the time to help us. But you people have the power of Adi Shakti which is very great, which is very penetrating, which is miraculous, it's so effective. But unless and until you become aware of your own powers, how will you work it out? It would be like a dead machine that has everything, but nobody is there to work it out.

All the time I had to go through very, very hazardous times, and sometimes I've felt that I may have to take another birth, the way things are so difficult for me. 
But now for you it has been very easy: as if the one who makes the road has to work very hard, but those who walk on that, they don't realize how easily they have got it. And if they realize this then they will realize also, "Let many walk on this road, which was created with such patience, understanding and love."

I have to really see you, you all Sahaja yogis, doing your level best to change this world - has to be changed. As it is, the humanity has to be saved through you and nobody else. No president, no prime minister, no minister - none of these people can change the world and save it! It is you are entitled, you have got this power. Do you realize your own status, your own being which has risen so high? It is not there. 
If that realization is there you would go all out to express your love and compassion to other people, to make them realized what they are.

Only with Sahaja Yoga you can save this world, there's no other way out. Whatever you may try, say, to help the poor, to help this and that is something very, very superficial. Best thing is to give realization to every person you see.

We have seen children, they're coming up. They'll be great Sahaja yogis also, I can see that. But before them you have to show your own merits of what you have done. 

2015

It's not a static work. It's a big movement which has to be really explosive; and unless and until such a great step is taken, I don't know who will be blamed for the doomsday. 
You are the ones who have to build up the destiny of human beings! 
Don't consider as yourself as something nothing. You could never have got your realization, you would never have come to me. Among so many, you are the ones who came to me and who asked for Realization and got it. 

You know it cannot be forced; this realization cannot be forced, this awareness cannot be forced, and the growth of this awareness also cannot be forced.
(...) But instead of telling me about people who are sick, people who have failed, people who are still in a state that cannot be improved, attention should be changed:
If there's one person who has got cancer anywhere, immediately at least ten photographs will come to me, leader will write to me, the wife's leader will write to me, everybody will write to me that "Mother, this is such-and-such thing." 
Why? Is that my job? That person can be cured, we have hospitals; can be cured by photographs. But attention always goes now to the compassion part of it, to those people who are so-called suffering physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. Also in the marriages. 

That's not your job, neither mine. 
If they are sick they should take a photograph and work it out. 
If it doesn't work, that means that doesn't deserve.

(...) But what about Sahaja Yoga? If you have one sick person, hundred Sahaja yogis will get after them. What is the reason? 
Is it compassion? It's not. 
They want to prove that they can cure that person - is not compassion. 

shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's
teachings 

Compassion today is to transform human beings into Sahajis, into good people. That is the love of Adi Shakti. Because those who are born have to die in any case. We should not be unkind, of course, but our attention should be how many people we are giving realization. Is a very common thing that people indulge more into so-called curing and improving and this - it's all right.
(...) First of all you are a spiritual worker, you are not a social worker. Of course, by the way you can do social work, it doesn't matter - by the way.
But the main thing for you is to transform human beings. With that the greatest diseases of meanness, of cruelty, of torturing others, anger: all these diseases can be cured which are internal, not external. That is today wanted.

Every country's fighting and is tortured and is in peril all the time of getting destroyed. The only way you can do it is to give them realization.

Now what happens is to be seen very clearly, that when you give realization to someone and he values it and he grows into it, then you are protected, you are completely protected. Who protects you, you may say? The Adi Shakti, all right, but also there is a destructive power working in this world; not of negativity, but positive destructive power of Shiva. If He sees that if Adi Shakti's work is going on well, He's happy. 

But He's sitting there and watching each and every person, each and every work of Sahaja yogis, and if He finds something really very wrong I cannot control it - He destroys. I cannot go to that point. 
He destroys; not only destroys, but thousands He can destroy.
Anywhere there is a calamity, we can say, like an earthquake or some sort of a hurricane, all these things come through the working of Shri Mahadeva. I can't help you there. 
But if you really give realization to people, all these can be averted. Of course it is the whim, I should say, of Adi Shakti that She started this work of creating this world, of creating you and making you Sahaja yogis; but your responsibility is also very important.
You cannot be responsible. Maybe it was, I felt, my responsibility. But there's a difference:
I never felt it was 'my' responsibility, never felt this was 'my' job, never felt 'I have to do it' - I did it. That's the work. 
That's the kind of personality you should have. You have to do it in a very humble manner, in a very beautiful manner; and you'll be amazed to see how you are protected, how you are supported and how everything works out.

Abbot of a Zen-Rinzai Templ, (Japan Tour)

The greatest joy you will get when you will find you can give realization to people. You can change their lives. Never you would feel such joy even if you get, say, a big lottery maybe, a big job or a big name, or a very big award - no. The joy of creating Sahaja yogis is, knows no bounds, it's such a joy-giving thing. You develop such fraternity, such solidarity as they call it, such oneness; such enjoyment of love, enjoyment of compassion. It's a different level of enjoyment that's not like ordinary enjoyments.
(...) And that is what makes me sometimes little weak when I hear that Sahaja yogis now are getting involved in money, in cheating; I mean, all kinds of criminal activities they do. I can't understand, I can't believe it!

After getting the highest, why do you want to go so low as that? Because you have not yet felt what you have got, you have not realized what you have got, and you don't respect yourself. 
Still if you are on the same line and the same level, I must say
you have done no justice to me or to yourself.
