"... If Man is destroyed, then God will have to ...

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. »
Shri Ganesha Puja. Rahuri (India), 7 January 1983.

-1-  « I mean, Gagangiri Maharaj asked these people, Modi and all that: 
" -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.)

Politics of Shri Mataji - 3 - DEMOnoCRACY

Demonocracy, people and popularity

Then at Nabhi point, what becomes, is dharma. You enjoy your virtues. You enjoy it, enjoy to be virtuous.  And then, you become swadha  [ Sanskrit: self-position, self-power, inherent power  ]. Later, it becomes a guru. You go to the heart. Then you become compassion. Expands, it expands. Why? The downward movement makes you smaller, smaller, smaller, till you become a sex point and then : to hell ! Then, it expands your heart, then it expands your heart. You become compassion, love, generosity. 
Then :  janah -  janah is higher. [Sanskrit: living being, man, people -related to the Vishuddhi chakra] Now the same awareness, human awareness, when it goes on its own, it becomes political orators, political this, political that, is janah, is going to the public. Janah is here, because he’s Virata.
French Pdt F.Hollande, 2012-2017
So you become attached to things where you have a popularity, which is very cheap type. There’s nothing deep in it, you see. 
Like Mrs. Thatcher is coming now - Thatcherite and Thatcherism and all kinds of things - are coming out. Then another is this Edward Heath [former Prime minister, during the 1981 Conservative Party conference, openly criticised the government's economic policies – namely monetarism,]. 
I mean, not only in this kind of, Reagan, this, that :  all of them are horrible!
So that happens. That is trying to solve some issues: "this should not be done; that should not be done". 
But there’s no peace. Peace has to be established. That cannot be established by thiese. So that also, such people who are politically motivated, they also go down, up to Vishuddhi chakra.

No principles - India

Australian Yogi: I think there's a certain amount of corruption at every level [in Australia].
Shri Mataji: Very little. But nobody can beat India  .../…
Shri Mataji: That's what I told you. There's no place for such people there just now.  Our Rajesh Shah, I told him, that: "You go and attend one of the meetings of these politicians". His father is a politician. 
Next time I met him, he just prostrated himself. "Mother tell me anything. I can jump into the sea. But don't tell me to go to meetings of these politicians!  I just went mad with them." 
He said they started arguing on some point. Now, they're such fanatic people, that Rajesh tried to pacify them and tell them:  "It's not so bad." They said: "Tomorrow you don't know what will happen to you! This will happen, that will happen." He said: 'No, it will not happen. I know this -, it's not that bad'. "
So fanatic! Hatred for each other! And then money comes in, so they join the other party. No principles, nothing!
Even America has no principles of any kind. They'll support Argentina [dictators]. I mean, they do anything!  Where there has to be some rigidity in character, that's why it's lacking.
1992-0213: Picnic with Yogis, Black Mountain Peninsula, Canberra

No principles - America

[Pdt Reagan in Germany had visited a cemetery and concentration camp] One should not give importance to bhoots [by which he could get possessed] , then their life itself will be weak. But this is too much, to go to these SS-camp because that shows such a "compromise". This politics is nothing but a compromise. And then it is so mean, so filthy, that tomorrow if Hitler comes in, Reagan will go and garland him, just to give a balance. And it is such an action and reaction that you just cannot say
Like some people told me that, "After all the Americans also went and killed the Japanese so they are equally the killers." 
So under these circumstances, only one can say that all these are wretched people. They have no sense of proportion at all. They compromise with evil, compromise with wrong doers and compromise at any cost, just to have an election. Sometimes you start decrying democracy because it becomes ademonocracy.
So one could say, that one should have the desire and the prayers to God that, "Oh God, make Sahaja Yoga so successful that people enter into the kingdom of God where there is not such filthy things." I mean, this is the politics of the gutters. I feel the way it is, it's very, very low level. Everything is so low level.
1985-0502: Nirananda, Talk in Vienna
Demonocracy now in America
G Washington, 12 t marble statue-click for description


[About Shri Krishna] … in Hastinapur where they had a war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. So we can say: if - in the grossest way- [Hastinapur] is this world and America is the Vishuddhi Chakra, then, if India is, in a subtler way, it is Hastinapur, where Vishuddhi Chakra was. If you see the history of America you'll see there's a fight going on from the very beginning. George Washington came up, there was a big fight. [later, ] Black and the Whites, Left and the Right, fighting. Then you find Abraham Lincoln, a great orator, great personality, talking of collectivity, that is, democracy, developing it to this stage. 
I don't know what it is now, whether it is democracy or demonocracy. It has reached another stage now which we cannot describe in the divine language and when the challenge to the Divine starts, we start doing just the opposite of what we are not supposed to do.
So the main principle of Krishna was collectivity - Raasa - everybody one with the energy; energy circulates through everyone, and just the opposite that the country developed into individualism, and everything was to create something that collective was not. 
Individualism, when it is not connected to the mains, is destruction. Like all these trees you see, they are individuals as you see them separate, but inside they are fed by the same mother. They have the same sap running in them. 
When this connection is broken, then all this individualism is nothing but destruction and that's how in America the connection with the collectivity was broken by every sort of funny methods -that one cannot conceive how human beings can go to that level!
On the way if you see Americans tried to do everything in a different way as you see the plugs are other way round. The whole world has the plugs one way, they have another way. They have the gear in the other way round, I mean, it's very dangerous to come to this country. If you don't know how you land into and everything they tried to do it in a way that was just the opposite of what everybody was doing in the whole world. 
And that is one of the things very, very surprising that people accepted that kind of a nonsense.
1984-0818: Shri Krishna Puja, New Jersey 


Another side which I have left over is the political side - on the right side, you see. Even in politics, the growth becomes subtler and subtler. 
Like in, we can say, in Russia, when it was such a power-oriented thing [USSR]. It's not money-oriented. The Communism was so power-oriented, it reached a place that a person like Gorbachev was to be born who would put it in a proper sense, and he came on a central path. He didn't want complete democracy as it is in America, it's a demonocracy, but he wanted a balanced thing.
So far he has not been able to manage, but I'm sure one day that will be managed. But he will be known all over the world for his great, great thought and great work of reducing the pressure between the two great [powers, the Cold War] , or, say, between the two ideologists. And he's done such a good thing that now there's no war, going to be no war. 
As, I mean ,not a very big world war but could be little bit here and there. That also is coming up which is a problem of fundamentalism, is not due to political but fundamentalism.  So now the problem today is fundamentalism , and that also comes from the right side, absolutely. Fundamentalists are all right-sided people and this right-sidedness takes them to any extreme of violence could be or, in some cases, it's really crazy and madness.
1992-0223: Mahasaraswati Puja, Auckland, New Zealand

Demonocracy, and greed

So what rules is the ego, this ego which thinks it is free. It doesn't know it is bound by all kinds of enemies of very horrible types. At the time of Shri Krishna, He said that the worst enemy human beings have is anger, but I think in modern times the worst enemy human beings have is greed and jealousy. Greed has no meaning these days. 
A volunteer cleans shoes of former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos 
I mean, what do you say to a person who has three thousand shoes - I mean, pairs of shoes? Must be mad!  
So this is the curse of money on human beings, which is to be understood, that freedom without wisdom is the most dangerous thing to use. It is better not to be free if you have no wisdom, because God knows what you will do if you have freedom and no wisdom.
1997-0608: Freedom Without Wisdom is Dangerous, Shri Krishna Puja, New Jersey, USA

All these politicians and all these so-called presidents of all these countries are beggars. All the time "give me this, give me this ! " like greedy : people going around are beggars, they are not the people who can rule. Hankering after things. 
Now what about today's politicians anywhere? They even shoot people, they kill people, they arrest them, they put them into trouble, I mean: all kinds of things they are doing. Such people have no right to call anybody as criminals. But we accept. As in Hindi we say, "Aaj kal ka jamana he aisa hai." We accept it, all such people as our gurus" !
Then Raja Lakshmi is the one who stands on dharma. She stands on dharma. If there is some adharmi, then She will not bless that person. 
If a King does not have that Divine discretion, then he can punish the good [people] and he may help the bad people. But this Divine discretion disappears when you are self-centered. That's the main point, is a complete detachment about the power should be there. Complete detachment. Why should Raja Lakshmi care for anything? What does She care? 
But now, there are some who will pamper a person with this and that, and then they feel "ah ha we're on top of the world!". They just pamper, pamper and pamper the ego of a politician, and he thinks he is a very big man. Then, in the election he doesn't understand why he is [fallen) on the ground. 
So with this self-dignity, self-knowledge, you know what you are: "whatever you may tell me, whatever you may say to me, I'll listen, all right- all right -all right,!- but I don't accept anything as something great. Because if I am that, what is there to be great?"
So what a politician has to understand: that he has not to make money, he does not have to have a big show about himself, he does not have to do anything that is like laundering the money from the country. He does not have to kill others who oppose him, he doesn't have to shout at those who trouble them. But what has he to do? 
Shri Sita with sons Luv and Kush, on exile in the forest
He has to remember that: "I'm here for [earning]the fame of a good man." He should worry about the fame he'll be leaving after his death. He should see to it that his fame is safe. For example, see Shri Rama who was a King of benevolence, no doubt about it, but His own wife, when somebody challenged that "She has lived with Ravana and how can She be pure? ", He knew that She was pure, still He decided that He will ask Her to go, because to keep the show, to keep the whole image of a King and He sent Her away.
But nowadays you find somebody's brother employed in America, sister employed there, and his uncle has made a big house, and his wife has accumulated so much money. It is all going on. Everybody will talk like that about that person, that he is just money-oriented, he just spends money on nonsensical things, and he is just exploiting us. Everybody will talk, but nobody will tell him on the face. 
So what you have to worry, is about absolute correct character. These days this is another point: every politician must have three, four keeps, otherwise he is not a politician.

Politics of Shri Mataji 2 - FREEDOM


Why freedom?



1931 : Gandhi  cheered by the Lancashire workers
laid off by the boycott of British textiles by Indians Click here!
In this country we had a struggle of freedom. I was part and parcel of that, my parents were part and parcel of that. They were rich people, quite rich I should say, from every standard. You will be amazed, my father burnt all his suits - they were stitched in England- my mother burnt all her saris. They used to spin their own clothes and wear them. My father sacrificed everything, every pai  [= cent] that he had, for the freedom struggle. 
1985-0206: A New Era - Sacrifice- Freedom- Ascent, India tour, Bordi

But the worst was when the freedom became the criteria of life, people became extremely dominating and egoistical. The first answer always you will get it, "What's wrong?"
You ask them: "Why are you doing this?"
"-What's wrong?"
"-I mean, it's wrong because it is not auspicious."
"-What's auspiciousness?" is there - absolutely, like you can call them people without any brains, brainless people. "Brainless" means there is no wisdom. What is the power of brain: it's wisdom. So life started drifting into a destructive born, we should say, of no return. And every kind of filth was accepted as a blessing, and nobody would think that this is wrong, this is not for human life. Even the animals are all not like that.
Added to that came the stupidity of drinking alcohol.
…/…  Another thing they created, were prostitutes. One may ask why prostitutes came out of that manthana  [ Sanskrit: stirring round, churning]   - because now you have freedom. You are given freedom to choose, and so you must have full vision whether to choose an auspicious life, a holy life, a divine life, or to choose destructive life. 
This opposition came forward because your freedom had to be respected, that was very important. In the growth of human awareness, it was very important to respect the freedom of human beings. Because animals, if you see, they have no freedom: a snake will be a snake, scorpion will be a scorpion, lion will be a lion. They live with their own qualities, gunas; you cannot make them do something that other animals are doing. We have passed through all these different animal yonis [Sanskrit: matrix ] and now we are human beings, and now we have freedom.
Now "why freedom?", one may ask - because these days they ask such questions for everything you say - why freedom was needed? Like I always told you before, that in the school they teach you "two plus two is four", and you have to remember it. But when you grow and when you go to college, you are supposed to have freedom to understand everything yourself. In the same manner, your awareness was to be brought to that level that you could use your freedom wisely.
…/… 
So this freedom, without any wisdom at all, is growing, starts creating a terrible ego. When auspiciousness is given up, then Shri Ganesha sleeps and, as Christ, who is the incarnation of Shri Ganesha, He also doesn't bother. So the rule of Christ is finished. 
Picture taken in an art-shop,
So what rules is the ego, this ego which thinks it is free. It doesn't know it is bound by all kinds of enemies of very horrible types. At the time of Shri Krishna, He said that the worst enemy human beings have is anger, but I think in modern times the worst enemy human beings have is greed and jealousy. Greed has no meaning these days. I mean, what do you say to a person who has three thousand shoes - I mean, pairs of shoes? Must be mad!
So this is the curse of money on human beings, which is to be understood, that freedom without wisdom is the most dangerous thing to use. It is better not to be free if you have no wisdom, because God knows what you will do if you have freedom and no wisdom.

the politics of a Sahaji

Cartoon about the Killing of blackmen by police in the USA
So a sahaja yogi is not a person who is just a sort of lives without any connection with the society, with the politics, with all that is happening. He has to be seeing all those things that are happening. He must read newspaper if not in the morning, in the evening time. 
Means: he must know what is happening. He must put his attention to all these things. Only putting attention to things, it works out. I have done that all the time. Even Hitler lost his success because of that attention. So one has to know that you have that attention that can work, that can really create what you want. But you must keep your attention alert, not only limited to yourself. Not only up to say, India tour or we can say up to bhajans. But must go beyond and put your attention everywhere, what's happening.
click for source

Supposing you go to any other country: try to find out what is happening in this country, in that country what is happening. Because now you are international people and you have to bother about everything that's happening in this world because we have to change everything, we have to transform everything. It's a hazardous task. But I have done the biggest job is to create the roots for you that you have been, you have become now the sprouted people, or we can say the elevated people, the special selected people. And now you cannot live like other ordinary stupid people. You have to be alert. You have to understand your responsibility. And every Sahaja Yogi in this tour has to take a vow (click!) that 
"I have to be responsible for Sahaja Yoga."

Shri Mataji and Politics.

Hi dear readers!
Nowadays, with  the breaking-down of the Sangha, the fight for trusteeship and Councils, the crave for power has become the new trend in Sahaj collectivities. 
This is the motive for which I am trying a compilation of Shri Mataji's advices on politics. 
First parts will define what a political theory is for, in the human Society. 
Socrates in the game Assassin's Creed, Odyssea

1- THE COMMON GOOD

Politics is for benevolence
… the political ideas were started by great people. Like Socrates started it. And Socrates said that, for the benevolence: the king has to be a benevolent king. 
But his disciples, like Aristotle really spoilt it. 
Still, the politics was philosophy-oriented. And then, now, it has become nothing but economics. 
Now, economics itself you understand better in Sahaja Yoga. First is that 'wants in general are not satiable'. So what is satiable there? We have to find out. 
Also science tells you that, how it harms. What will harm you, also science tells you, but we don't listen to it. But with Sahaja Yoga we will. 
So everything gets extremely beautiful and purified.  So the knowledge becomes constructive and nourishing and benevolent.
1990-0725: Press Conference, Sofia, Bulgaria 

Raising the standard of these people who are not having what we are having
Today we are going to worship Raja Lakshmi, means the Goddess which rules the kings. It's a very important thing today to understand that something has basically gone wrong in the working of our political systems and why the people have lost their sense of justice, fair play and the benevolence of the people. Where have we gone wrong that this is being lost? 
It's not only in India, it's not only in Japan or in England, or any other place where we think there is democracy. 
First and foremost thing is that all these countries, even those who have got their freedom, started following those countries which were supposed to be highty  and mighty, and very powerful. Like America, like Russia, like China, England, without understanding how far they have reached in delivering the goods that they are supposed to do.

Thomas Cromwell, (1485 –1540) chief minister to King
Henry VIII of England from 1532 to 1540,
when he was beheaded on orders of the king.
In any case in a country like England, you see the monarchy, the way it has been working is shocking, absolutely shocking. The way they have acted towards their ministers like Cromwell , you feel as if some primitive people are trying to manage something. 

And the Kings so cruel, the Queens so cruel, so character-less, so irresponsible. They had no character to be Kings and Queens. There was no surrendering to the Raja Lakshmi principle of one's Being. 
Then of course, it became independent. And even now I find such stupid things they're doing. Even in France the President has a keep.(*)
They run after money, little money here and there. There are people in every country who are really of very, very low level and who are trying to look after the welfare of the people.

Also if you read the history of Samurai and all those people in Japan you are shocked, they thought no end of themselves, they had no connection with the public and the way they behaved. Then you go to the communist countries also the same sort of thing. There also those who came in power became really like despotic rulers. Then we have on the other side Mr. Hitler who came thinking no end of himself. Spain, as you know was ruined by Franco. One cannot understand how these people without any character, without any higher qualities than the rest of the people, can look after their well-being. Impossible!
.../...  So that [ancient] time, the feeling among the politician was to how to raise the standard of these people who are not having what we are having …./… 
So when the Raja Lakshmi  (Lakshmi that is the one responsible for looking after the benevolence of the people) when She acts, [ruling] people think that they have (not even think,  they do it automatically!), that they are there for benevolence. They don't have to tell themselves, it's just that they feel that it is their job, this is what they have to do, is to look after the people who are to be brought to better levels of life. This is what they think, they don't think like party politics, who is coming up, whom to kill, nothing of the kind.
Under the influence of the Goddess of Lakshmi, which rules the political side, we can say the kingdoms and all that, first thing is generosity. First thing is generosity.

Anne Pingeot, (1943 -) was housed and living 'secretly'  in an area of the Élysée with her daughter, born in 1974,  later acknowledged by Pdt Mitterrand (Pdt: 1981 - 1995)

The Sahaja Yoga I was taught.

Dear friends,
It is probably obvious  to you that I often disagree on a number of small, but specific, points.   This is due to what I have learned since my first Sahasrara Day in 1982.
I will try to explain myself... so, here are just three themes, fundamental to my eyes.

1/ The Teachings that Shri Mataji has given in public, continuously and everywhere, are the only ones I recognize.
I heard one evening in Cabella, in the mouth of a "historical" sahaja yogi, and then a member of the World Council, "Mother said everything, and its contrary". Other Sahajis too  do think that way. That's not true!
Shri Mataji has always spoken to people according to their specific situation, and the objective of Her advices was always to bring these yogis back to the same permanent, and also "collective" common Knowledge
To the opposite, no one has a "special relationship" with Her, either. Never.
We should prefer saying that we all have this relationship (see point 3). Each yogi is Her child, but also Her channel of manifestation. And each one, from there, is his own master.

2/ Adi Shakti came to give humanity the means to save itself
And for this sole purpose, She did everything, by allowing the awakening of the Kundalini and the opening of the Sahasrara of the Virata on May 5, 1970. She did absorb everything to allow the "in-mass" realization. It was necessary to create a new humanity, reconnected (Yoga).
Her Sahaja yogis have been re-born, cared for, nourished, transformed, coddled, educated: Comforter, Educator, Savior, the three shaktis. The mission we received is to successfully transform as many people as possible, with an "irrepressible desire" (2002).
Shri Mataji has always expressed that this one success, on our part, is what She liked most. What else could we offer Her, which would come only from us? The amrut has always been mixed by us with that which She had produced for us!
Our main concern should be to enthusiastically seek out, and find, effective methods, instead of devoting our entire agendas to international celebrations, nor to refine our techniques and rituals. She did not agree to become this avatar, Shri Nirmala Devi (1923 - 2011), to create a cult in His person, nor to establish new Vaticans.

- Mother does not need pujas nor any ritual, for She is not like those Vedic divinities who fed on the offerings of the devotees. But for our Deities, for our chakras, for our deepening, we only are  the ones who need to offer pujas, to which She lends Herself with a fully maternal kindness.
 - How would She dwell elsewhere? She repeated that She was everywhere with us - since 1984; repeated that She had taken us into Her own body. And then, who else would be our own Kundalini? What other feet would step on the lotus of our Sahasrara? There is no "elsewhere" for the Self. It is only a game of mirrors and reflections. We meditate "on Her'', with Her, in «Her company», and at the same time on ourselves, on the Self : «'I am the Spirit''», so did we assert from the  very first day.
 - Swadharma: Shri Mataji liked to quote King Shivaji, who fought for the "Swa-dharma", the religion of oneself, of one's own Spirit. She won that battle for us: we are free, She liberated us. But also, She made us responsible to Her.
As a fundamental, Shri Mataji repeated throughout Her whole life that She had no desire, except for that unique desire to succeed in Mass-Realisation. So it is up to us to formulate all the other desires, and to consider ourselves responsible for making them come true.
3/ Sahaja yoga is "advaita": non-dualistic.
 - Dualism exists when we consider ourselves to be, a little bit lame, dirty, stuck here (in this land of sin) , and She, on the other side, up there, ( in the disincarnated Heavens) in short: elsewhere, far away, dualism is when our Self is not the God. However, dualism settles in with all kinds of techniques and rituals. We say that Mother "arrives" from the room where we keep Her picture, that we "ask Her" what She would like on this or that detail, - just two examples where She is said to be "elsewhere".
 - Advaita means that our Self is no different from the Divine, just as the reflection of the sun on a lake is no different from the light of that same sun. Of course, this is a goal, and we have not achieved it completely today. However, the opening of the Sahasrara with the awakening of the Heart, the Self, the Spirit, the Shiva, at the center of the Sahasrara, the Brahmarandra, already actualizes an essential element of it. Each of us will develop it in our own way, each of us has already made progress.

But we must not forget that the qualities that flourish then, in us, are none other than those of the Self, of the Shiva within us. Only "the Shiva" can know Joy, «He only is the enjoyer» and He only can make us feel it - when we are in a true state of meditation. Which means: not when we confuse meditation with cleansing. On the contrary, to Mother we are «neither this body nor these chakras» -only we inhabit them. When we are detached from the rest, then we take over the management of every gross thing (body, home, work, etc.). In other words, that happens when we have (no longer) anything to ask for, because, in nirvikalpa, we have integrated what Person Shri Mataji has already made of us. At least at times, in daily life, and to the minimum, during our meditations.

Such is the Realization of the Self, 
the Atmasakshatkar,
the Sahaja yoga that Shri Mataji has taught us, 
always and everywhere,
into which She has "evolved" us,  and that we have to transmit.

Note: One can do a checking, each notion has its source in the teachings of Shri Mataji.
