Pujas, Gagan Maharaj, Value of Realization: - and waste...
« Concerning the puja,
you know that we allow only few people from countries like England to come to the Puja. We have people from 12 countries over here and there are around 5-6 from some countries and 10-15 from others. But very few of them are allowed to come to the puja.
The reason is that in foreign countries, people have forgotten what Dharma is. There have been a lot of attacks on Dharma and some of them have been so dirty that people don’t know the difference between good and bad.
An Indian, however horrible he is, knows that he is doing something bad. But these people don’t even know that. However bad their actions might be, they will still ask, “What’s wrong?” This means that a certain authority that is given to Dharma is not there. They behave as they wish and then it becomes like hell.
So, to come out of that hell, take to Sahaja Yoga and to become completely pure, like coming out of the havan fire, is a very miraculous thing. This means that these people must have been very great saints in their previous lives. Any other person in their place would have run away. But that is not your case.
You have grown up in a very dharmic environment. Some of you may have some problems here and there which Sahaja Yoga can solve, but overall you are leading a good life. It is not so for the foreigners. However, the hard work and dedication with which they work Sahaja Yoga out is not seen over here. That’s because we don’t value the things that we have got so easily.
You can see clearly that in Khedegaon, 6000-7000 people get their Realization in no time at all but in the foreign countries, I have to work on one person for five months and break my hands. So, people over here don’t understand what they have got through Sahaja Yoga.
» Once many Sahaja Yogis went to meet Gagangiri Maharaj (1) and he told them,
” It took me a total of 21,000 years to feel the vibrations. I was initially a frog and I remember everything from that time and from a frog I slowly became a human. In that time, I used to always say to God that ‘O God, somehow give me the chaitanya.’
Even after becoming a human, I did penance and meditation for around 12,000 years.
Only two births ago, I finally got the vibrations on my hands. This being my third birth of feeling vibrations, I know its importance.
But you people have got it just like that from Shri Mataji.
So, I asked Her many times that ‘why are you giving this thing so simply to these people? They don’t even have the brains to understand this!’
So, Shri Mataji told me jokingly that ‘it is just my wish!”
» But it is not so.
The time has come for it.
When the time of giving comes then it has to be given to everyone.
If human beings are not saved now, then the whole creation will have to be destroyed. The entire creation rests on Man. If Man is destroyed, then God will have to destroy the Creation and it will be a complete waste.
Thus, the time has now come, this blossom time, where so many people are getting saved. Nevertheless, this is a very important thing that is taking place.
So, we must understand that this special gift that we have got must be used in a special way and we too must become special.
Otherwise, such a great thing will just become a waste. »

" -Will you jump in the sea if Mother says so? Are you willing to die for Her?"
I mean, this is the first question a guru asks, you see? Here, dying? Only driving up to three miles you have to break your neck with them. Dying is too much!I cannot even talk of that.
But even... For everything it is happening and that's why Sahaja Yoga doesn't work out. And those people who try to do something, either there is jealousy or pulling him down or the wise counseling. ---(1983-1105: Talk on Diwali Night, UK )
«How much you know about the Divine nobody has known so far! But fix up yourself. I have known a very great saint called Gagangadh Maharaj who has fallen down completely! If a person like him can fall down you also can fall down if you do not understand what is your worth, what is your value and what is your position you are given.
So we have to, today, with all our love for our Mother, have to decide in our heart, that we are going to have large heartedness, of sacrifices!
What have we sacrificed so far? Just think of it. Have we? Did we sacrifice anything?
Please try to understand that I have to use you, the great souls, to save the humanity. You must grow. You must grow. You have to grow.
On money points also people are wretched. They make money. They save money. In America, I was surprised, the way people cheated me of money! Thousands! In India also this is a very common practice! Then if you have career mindedness, and you are very ambitious, .../... ( A New Era – Sacrifice, Freedom, Ascent. Bordi (India), 6 February 1985.)
