| I do not want to fight... |
2- Bhagavad Geeta: the fight is your Dharma
3- Forward on! (Bordi, 1985)
4- Only Sahaja Yogis can finish the hope (Diwali, 1985)
GEETA IS NOT FOR PEACE
He just offers His services like a charioteer. " In this, He is just trying a trick on Arjuna. As if He knows the future that's going to happen. So, the whole Gita was created because He was just a charioteer, because Arjuna said " I cannot fight my own people, I cannot fight my own grandparents, and I cannot fight my relations. " Now, if you say that Gita is for peace, it is not. It is not for peace. But He says that: " They are already dead, whom are you killing? These dead people, if you are killing them what will happen? But if you now run away from the battlefield, people will call you a coward, and what will you get? But if you fight for the religion, then you will get your resurrection - moksha."
- FOR DHARMA YOU SHOULD DO IT

Now, when you are enlightened, when you have got your realization, when you raise your Kundalini or anybody's Kundalini, you don't say " Mother, I am giving realization ". You don't say that, never. What you say: " It is happening ", in third person you talk. " It's not coming, it's not working or it's just moving on the side. This chakra is catching, that chakra is catching. " You never say " I am doing anything ", the 'I' is lost. When that 'I' is lost, than only you will put everything at the lotus feet of God. So, first, it should be done in Dharma.
Supposing, somebody murders somebody and say " Oh, I have done it now, so it is my karmas and I put it at the lotus feet of Shri Krishna. " Now, people can, I mean, people have special brains also to interprete Shri Krishna and Gita. But what He said: for Dharma you should do it. So, first of all, you should be a Sthitha Pragya, means an enlightened person, and whatever you do automatically goes at the lotus feet of God, automatically, spontaneously, Sahaj.

| Afterwards...Click! |
DO NOT REACT...at THAT moment... afterwards: WIN!
We should not react, we should not react. If you see something wrong, all right, you meditate on that point, you meditate. If you find anything wrong happening, all right, meditate on that. If somebody is unkind to you, at that moment do not react.
Afterwards when that person is quietened, you tell him or tell her. Because at that time when he's so volatile or she's volatile if you tell, nothing will happen. Gradually, I don't say always you can win over such people, but gradually you may be able to make them understand that it's wrong, it's wrong to do things which they have been doing.
In a way, you see, the reaction to anything which is stupid also can be very self-destroying. Like some people have built-in reactions, like you have seen this Mr. Clinton behaving. I mean, you can't understand a man of his stature, of his level should have such reactions, but must be from his childhood or I don't know how he built it up. Now he is in trouble, and very shameful.
.../...[About reacting and fashions in ordinary people] Now you being Sahaja Yogis, your worth is great. You have come here to mancipate human beings from these silly ideas and foolish ways, the way people are behaving..../...
In Sahaja Yoga also I have seen people want to show off a lot. I know who does that. But they should know, once you do not react to outside you start reacting to inside, and introspection will start properly. When you see yourself you'll be amazed how admiring you are, how happy you are. Now if you go beyond that a little more, then you don't think of all these things. You just become thoughtless and you just stand up as a person who is respected, whose company is wanted, who is loved and who is cared for. So one should not worry as to what people react, what they say about you, what they think about you. You should just introspect and see for yourself.

After some time you don't need even introspection.
It is a kind of a state I am talking about, where Shri Krishna told Arjuna that "I will not fight. So in between Me and the army, My army, you have to select." So Kauravas said, "No, we'll take Your army, Your army. You give us Your army and we'll strengthen our army."But Arjuna said, "I don't want army, I want You. You don't want to fight, it's all right." Because though He will be there in a witness state only, He won't be fighting but His power will act. He doesn't have to fight, He doesn't have to do anything, but His own power which is outwardly is silent but will act, and that is how we will win the war. So this power of witnessing you all should develop. Try to develop it, that when you are reacting, stop reaction, stop reaction about everything. You will be amazed, you will find yourself a very, very powerful person in the sense you'll have no ambitions, you'll have no desires, you'll have no special fondness or anything. But just you are witnessing the drama.
It's very interesting to witness also, because then you understand the humor behind everything, you understand the stupidity behind everything.

You understand also how people have been so violent, and you just laugh at it; you don't get upset, excited, nothing, just laugh at it. After some time you'll be amazed, your witness state will increase, and when in the collective all of you have that witness state, you can do wonders without doing anything, without saying anything, without acting - only your presence itself can work it out. I don't say that it will have effect on everyone, no, can't say; but most of the people. Any person who is in that state, he is the one who brings peace, he brings joy..../....

WITNESS STATE AND LEADERS...
In Shri Krishna's life the greatest power He was, a witnessing personality. Without doing anything, without taking a sword in His hands, without talking about fighting, He is the One who has helped Pandavas to win the war. Not only, but through His "Gita" He has tried to tell us what we have to do to win the war over evil. Whole "Gita" is the witness state He's described about.
If you read it "Gita" now from this angle, you'll be amazed to find that everywhere He is like a witness describing everything, whatever He sees. And He will tell you how, how this witness state has helped Him to understand also human beings. He is a man who was, we should say, was not such a big businessman; because first He told you that how to become sthita pragnya. "Sthita pragnya" is the one who is in the witness state. If you see all these verses on sthita pragnya, is nothing but a person who is in a witness state: how he lives, how he is happy, how he looks at things. It's interesting, very interesting. First He describes that, not like the sharp people who will describe first the bad things, but He starts with the best. Then He goes down to other things and tell you that whatever are the three aspects.
KARMAS: Whatever you have to do, you can do.
 |
| Leave the results... |
The first He talks is about karma, and many people get stuck at that point, that "Whatever karmas we are doing, we'll get the punyas out of it." But He is not. He didn't say that. If you know Him, then you will know He never meant that. What He says, that "Whatever karmas you have to do, you can do it, but leave the results to the Divine Power." Results are from the Divine Power. Now may be that some people think that they have got money because they have done good karmas, and start doing all kinds of bad karmas with that money. He didn't say that.
He said, "Leave the results to the Divine Power." Because Divine Power knows best what is for you. And so if you think you have done something good, you have served somewhere to the poor, you have done something really good for the women or anything; the result of that, you leave it at the feet of the Divine Power - means that you don't build up an ego for whatever you have done. Though very well He has written this, but to understand Him one should have again the witness state to see what He has written about karma.

1998-0816: Stop reacting- Witness, Shri Krishna Puja, Cabella
Arjuna
said: 'The sight of all these kinsmen, o
Krishna, all present in a fighting spirit, makes the limbs of my body quiver
and my mouth dry up. (29) My body trembles and my hair stands on end, my Gândîva [his bow] is
slipping from my hand and my skin certainly is burning. (30) Nor am I able to keep standing, my mind goes and I see just the
opposite, o Kes'ava [Krishna as the killer of the the mad horse Kes'î]. (31)
What joy or life is there either if the kingdom is
desired by us for the sake of those who want that material pleasure and
happiness also, while they have all taken positions on the battlefield and are
willing to give up their lives: our teachers,
fathers, sons as well as certainly also our grandfathers. All these maternal
uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers and other relatives I never wish to
kill nor get killed, o Madhusûdana [Krishna who defeated Madhu]. Not even in
exchange for the three worlds I want the kingdom not to speak about having it
for the sake of the earth - what pleasure will there be in killing the sons of
Dhritarâshthra, o Janârdana [Krishna as maintainer of the three worlds]? (36) For sure sin will come upon us by killing all these aggressors and
therefore we should never kill the sons of Dhritarâshthra along with the
friends and kinsmen. How can we become happy by killing others, o Mâdhava?
Chapter 2a:
(9) Sañjaya said: "Thus addressing Hrisîkes'a, Gudâkes'a [Arjuna as
the master of curbing ignorance], the chastiser of the enemies said: 'I shall not fight.'
After saying this to Govinda he then fell silent. (10) O descendant of Bharata, there between the armies of both parties
Hrisîkes'a spoke smiling to the lamenting one the following words.
 | |
| "...therefore, fight!" |
It is only sense perception, o son of Kuntî, like summer and winter, happiness and pain given, appear and disappear; none of them are permanent, just try to tolerate it, o descendant of the Bharata dynasty. (15) The person who is then never upset by all of this, o best among men, and is equal to and steady in distress and happiness, is considered fit for liberation.
(16) Never is there of falsehood [asat, the temporal form] any
durability nor can one expect of the eternal [sat, the true, the soul]
any cessation, thus stress the seers who concluded to the study of both. (17) Know that that by which the whole body is pervaded is imperishable and
that no one is able to destroy it. (18) All these material bodies are perishable while of the embodied soul it
is said that it is never destroyed and immeasurable, therefore fight o descendant of Bharata. (19)
Anyone who supposes that this [soul] is the killer and also anyone who
thinks that it can be killed, will of either of both positions never be in knowledge;
never does it kill or can it be killed. (20) It is never born, nor does it ever die; never it came into existence
nor will it cease to be - it will not take rebirth, it is unborn, eternal and
permanent; it is the oldest and is never killed when the body is killed. (21)
One who knows that this [soul] is the indestructible, always existing, which is unborn and immutable - how can that person, o Pârtha, be the cause of killing or be killed? (22)
Just like giving up worn out garments and accepting new ones, does the embodied [soul] the same way give up old bodies and verily accept different new ones. (23) Never can this soul be cut to pieces, be burnt by fire; nor can it drown in water or wither in the wind. (24) This unbreakable soul that cannot be burned, dissolve in water or dry up, is surely everlasting, all-pervading, unchangeable, unmovable and primordial(31)

| Religious duty... |
Therefore you should do this fighting as a religious duty - not acting according to your own nature, you will lose your reputation and fall in sin. (34) About your infamy people will always be speaking as for a respectable man infamy is worse than death. (35)
Ceasing out of fear leaving the battlefield, the great
generals who are also holding you in great estimation, will consider you as
someone lower in value. (36)
Many of your enemies will speak unkind words of you deriding
your ability. What of course, is there more painful than that? (37)
Either, being killed, you will attain the heavenly kingdom, or, conquering, you will enjoy the world; therefore get up, o son of Kuntî, and fight with the certainty of determination. (38)

So My father, you see, took Me aside. He said, "Don't listen to this old
johnny. He's now about to die, forget him. I would like all my children
to be sacrificed on the altar of freedom. If you are doing it I am a
proud mother [Shri Mataji may mean 'father'] and I'll tell your mother
to behave herself. I am so proud of you." Such atmosphere I have passed
through. I had to give up My college. I was absconding for eight months,
the police was after My life. I know what we have gone through, we were
very young people - eighteen years, you can imagine.
And now when you have got the freedom of your spirit, you must seek the comfort of your spirit. There are some people who are complainers, and this and that nonsense - they should not have come; or those who are Indians, they should get out of Sahaja Yoga and leave us alone. But those who know that they have come here not to enjoy themselves only, but to make the whole world enjoy what you have got, to give it to them - and for that one has to sacrifice, one has to bear the pangs.
How much I
bear your pangs when you are caught up, when you have troubles, when
this and that. I have got blisters sometimes from you, everything; but I
don't mind because it is My life, My mission, My existence,
My everything is for the purpose of emancipation of humanity. Even the last drop of My blood is for that. So My satisfactions are very different.
Please remember you are born of a very brave Mother.
Please try to rise.
Be proud that we are doing such tremendous task. Have that feeling of great valor. Then only, then only we can achieve results.
You have seen so many wars, you have seen so many war pictures, you have seen how people have fought, how they have sacrificed themselves. And let us see what are we doing in this war. Just make your body your slave.
Get out of the slavery of your body, of your conditionings, and your nonsensical ego. I am sure as a Mother I'm not so bad, but as a Father I think I lack some things. Please try to come up, so that I should feel that I did not lack in My fatherly attitude towards you - that awe, that understanding of a father's expectations. This I am not saying to you because it is some present situation because of you people particularly, or for anything which is very, very sort of a present-day problem - none of these things.
But is My announcement of this new dimension into which we have to rise. And as in the war we have to declare "Now forward on!" in the same way this is a declaration. In no way to degrade you, in no way to insult you or to say anything about any one of you, but to just infuse that inspiration which led thousands and thousands, and millions and billions of people to sacrifice for a greater cause.
So now have respect for yourself.
Raise your heads.
You are the ones who are going to fight.
You are the ones who are responsible.
Prepare yourself, prepare your body, prepare your mind, be discreet.

4 - Only Sahaja yogis can finish the hope...
… a Saint has to be gentle,
gentle in the way the moonlight falls upon this Earth. It is light
without any burning in it, no scorching. That gentleness one has to
develop, out of the oil that is the love in your heart, which lubricates
everything, which removes the frictions and soothes. …
It
moves with majesty, embeds itself into the Mother Earth going round all
hard rocks and holding them together; it makes the tree to stand up
erect. The sign of life is that it goes against the matter, the one that
is jara. Like the tree goes against the gravity; like the great human
beings have lifted their body against the gravity in a straight posture.
In the same way, if you see, the flame goes against the gravity. Nobody
has heard of fire going from the top floor to the ground floor. …
It is through your behavior, through your pure lights, through your fragrance, people are going to know God Almighty.They
are lights no doubt, but can blacken the Face, if there are impurities, blacken the Face of the Divine, blacken the Face of your Creator. And
that is what, one has to be careful, that we are not blackening the Name of God by our misbehavior.Now
listen to me very carefully:- if there is no light out of the lamp, it
does not blacken nor enlighten.But, if there is a light, it can blacken,
as well as enlighten.It's only the Sahaja Yogis who can blacken or enlighten the Name of God Almighty.
But it's only a Sahaja Yogi which can form that cloud to cover it.
4 - Only Sahaja yogis can finish the hope...
Today we have assembled here to celebrate the Diwali,
Actually,
only after Sahaja Yoga started, the real Diwali is taking shape. We had
many beautiful lamps, and we had lot of oil to burn, but there was no
spark, to enlighten the deepas (Deepavali =row of lamps) lamps). And the wick - as you call it- called as bati in Hindi language- is like your Kundalini, so
the Kundalini had to meet the spark. The beautiful lamps were all a
waste, purposeless, pointless. And this is the great blessings in modern
times, that so many lights are enlightened and we are having a
Deepavali of human hearts.

When
you become the light, you don't worry about the lamp, how it looks, how
it is to be made, it's all done. You just have to worry about the
flame, about the oil, because it's the oil that burns and gives light.
In Sanskrit language- which is the language of the Gods- the oil is
called as 'snigdha'; is something that is soft but is snigdha. And
'sneha' means 'friendship of love.' …
This
love is the thing that gives the light. If this oil is not clean -
contaminated, you get the smoke - but when it is pure, then it gives a
brilliant light without any smoke. But when this oil is fragrant then
the light gives the fragrances. …
 |
| "Listen carefully"(Diwali 1985) |
In the same way a Saint, a Sahaja Yogi, has to move very smoothly in the society of Sahaja Yogis.
It is with the Sahaja Yogis, I said; not with the non-Sahajas. Nature
reacts to anything that is foreign. It throws out anything that is not
Sahaja. In the same way, a Saint should not accept anything, anybody who is foreign to Sahaja behavior.
When it deals with the matter, with the materialistic people, then it acts with the greatest wisdom, as the tip of a root.
You may do any amount of meditations, use My Photographs, come to My Pujas, but
if your attention is imbedded, it's like you are standing on a
crocodile, trying to get into a boat.
Now, that doesn't mean when a
flame burns it gives up matter, but it gets detached and it burns
it. So this body, this mind, this ego, this superego, is all to be
burned to keep this flame burning all the time. You don't have to give
up anything, but to use the same thing for a higher life, and that is
what should be the aim of every Sahaja Yogi.
Actually
after getting Realization, you just start spontaneously giving because
you are the light. But respect your light and the light of others. The
darkness is too much and we need so many lights to remove this darkness.
These lights are to be maintained, to be looked after, to be loved. As you know very well, I cannot do it alone. …
For
example the source of electricity, if you use to burn, you may have a
big explosion. It has to go to various bulbs to give a nice, spread-out
light. And you are the channels, you are the ones who are going to
express Me. I am just the potential energy, as the energy is coming from
somewhere which is stored, and if I asked you, you would not even know
where it is stored.
Say,
for example, if you have a fake man, he doesn't blacken the Name of God
because he is himself black, so nobody's bothered about that. If there
is a person who is teaching about God or talking about God, about
religion and making money out of it, he blackens his own name. He does
not blacken the Name of God Almighty. The Name of God, cannot be
blackened, It's ever shining.
 |
| "...Should not be ruined" |
They only can finish the hope of this world.
They only can bring the real the destruction of this world
They will be held responsible. And they should be punished in time, so that the Name of God should not be ruined.
For
they have been given the right to enter into the Kingdom of God, others
are outside. They are the only ones who can abuse the right. Those who
are outside this building cannot spoil it. You have the special
privilege to enter into this beautiful building. You have got this right
because of the great things you have done in previous lives. And if you
now want to spoil it, you'd better understand that you will be very severely punished.
 |
| "...can also burn" |
The light which can enlighten can also burn. But this light will burn all those who try to burn the Kingdom of God. So, on a Diwali day ,let us know that we should have the lamps burnt , in such a way that it has purest of pure love in it.
Not
a lip service, lip service of love, but from your heart, it should
pour, like the Nature pours all its blessings upon you. Then, wherever
the flowers of your feet will touch, the Nature will blossom with joy.
There will be a Deepavali.
 |
| ..will burn all those... |
