1- Jesus, collectivity and politics

Christ, showing us the way...

Now they may say that, «Mother, why should we be caught up? We are Sahaja Yogis!» -Because you are vulnerable. You are vulnerable. Yet you have not reached that stage.[...]

You see that also today, I must tell you about the part that is politics. 
...So you find, I mean all every day you see and you say, "Oh! God, this is a decadent society. This has happened." Decadency is because an individual whom you have given all these powers, has no power to bear them.

An individual cannot bear money, he cannot bear power of any kind, he cannot bear love, he cannot bear kindness, he cannot understand peace because he is still an individual. 

But when an individual becomes the collective, this is the ascent through the central path.

When he becomes the collective in his strength, he strengthens the collective. 

And also the collective looks after, protects and guides the individual. This is what Sahaja Yoga is. 

Better find faults with yourself.

Enjoy the Joy...

...So the politics of Sahaja Yoga is that you have to become the collective personality. 

And there where we feel that still we are something great, we are different, we are Indians or we are from England, or from France, {2013: American, Russian, Australian, LET, NT...}, still if you are identified, then you are not collective. 

In collective sense, we are all one, part and parcel of one Being, then you are really acting as collective being, and you are one with the Divine where the sun is looking after you, the moon is looking after you, the winds are looking after you, all the Mother Earth and all these elements are working -ether - everything is working for you,  and you are so well protected and blessed by this special quality to enjoy the joy. 

...he strengthens the collective. 

Then you really become sensitive to that joy, when you are one with the Whole.

You are going to be dropped out

Like if, supposing this finger or this finger is not one with the whole, is numbed out. As it happens in leprosy what happens that this finger becomes numbed out. Even if a rat eats it off we don't know, because there is no connection, no nerves acting, it's insensitive. 

In the same way, if you are not collective and not bothered about collective you are going to be dropped out, you are not going to be there to enjoy the beauties of your own glory and that of the collective.
So one has to understand that we have to be strong ourselves, we have to ascend and we have to be collective.
It's very easy to find out faults with others, very easy to find faults with the leaders, very easy to find faults also with Sahaja Yoga, some times with Me. Better find faults with yourself. The rest I'll look after. First you just find faults with yourself and try to understand others, and love others, and enjoy the company of others. This, once you decide that we have to enjoy, I tell you - it's so spontaneous- just this decision, this faith within you that "I'm going to enjoy now my spirit, I'm going to enjoy the collective within me" - that's the spirit. 

...No sacrifice...

Just this decision itself will give you the power to enjoy. But decision should be firm. No hypocrisy, no playing games, no ego, no conditioning, nothing - just pure desire within us that we have to be the spirit and the spirit which is the collective being within us.
I hope today on this day of resurrection we have to be thankful to Christ very much for showing us the way.
And also we have to be very much concerned and alerted about ourselves: where are we, where do we stand, what are we up to, what are we doing, what is our responsibility, what is expected of us, why all these blessings are given to us? There's no sacrifice in Sahaja Yoga, no sacrifice. Nobody wants you - anything to commit or to do, or to membership, or anything like that. 

I think it's my commitment, as I said that, "God has the commitment."
But you also have one commitment that your desires should be pure. That's the only thing that, "Let my desire be pure." No impurities of any kind should work it out. As Christ had His desires so pure, and that's what He achieved, I'm sure you all can achieve a lot in your life.

Swayamblogger:

When a yogi is so conditionned as to believe he can be just, 'Australian' or 'Russian' (you name it!), he is no more in the central path, and is too weak to bear properly neither power nor money. 
Eventually, he will end up... well, find Shri Mataji's conclusion in the text above.
--------------------------

2-"Some things have come to my notice, 

and I am really shocked "

Even in Sahaja Yoga, what I am told, that people are still hankering after money.
They think it is a place where they can make some money.

I am surprised

I am surprised. 

This is not the area where you can really work out that. You’ll be exposed in no time.

On the contrary, if you people are worried about your powers in Sahaja Yoga, as leaders and deputy leaders and I don’t know what all, then also you are sadly mistaken. 

That’s not the place  – for that you can join politics; or else for making money you can go to racecourses or some place!

If you are coming to Sahaja Yoga, what you have to get is an ocean of love within your heart, and to see that in others also. ...

I am surprised, even after so many years of My hard work, there are some people still working out some stupid stuff, which I can’t understand. And they should know they will be exposed in no time. This is the year of exposure, I told you last time. Absolutely.

 If you have no love for Sahaja Yoga, if you have no love for your Mother, you will run after those nonsensical things and make some mess out of yourself. If you want to destroy yourself, you can go to some other fields, but not in Sahaja Yoga!

If you want to destroy yourself...

... if you are still bothered about these nonsensical things, then you will  jump very fast into the hell, I can see that clearly.

I shouldn’t say this on My birthday, but this is the year of exposure. And be very careful! Nobody will be spared this year. What to do, though, it’s My birthday – I have to tell you, it won’t keep quiet.

You know, there are certain powers which flow; and different, different years I find a different type of power starts flowing. And this is the time when power for exposure is going to be there. 

Whether you are a leader or if you are not, if you are making anything dishonest, you will be exposed and you will be rightly punished.

Sahaja Yoga may not punish you, but there are so many ways that this power works out.

The first thing is what we call Alakshmi. Alakshmi means, at that time when you are punished, you will be surprised, you will just become bankrupt, you will have no money, you will be exposed, you may be in jail.

So though it is a very auspicious day, I must tell you  not to be inauspicious.

... I have to tell about these things, because some things have come to My notice, and I am really shocked the way some people are ‘still’ not understanding their value, not understanding their worth, and that’s why the other day I told you that you must know about your Self. First of all, the Self is the Spirit. It’s the Spirit, the reflection of God Almighty. If you want to live like all other ordinary, nonsensical people, you should stay out of Sahaja Yoga. But if you think that you have to really show your worth, coming into Sahaja Yoga, and if you have to feel proud of yourself, then try to understand that in Sahaja Yoga you don’t have to have all these weaknesses.

a testing ground 

I have never put any restrictions on you. Do what you like, whatever way you want to do it, you can do it. I have never bothering you about money or anything. But – that is a testing ground!

That is a ‘testing ground’, where you are standing. If you do not test yourself, how will you know how far you have gone? So you are the student, you are the examiner, and you are the one who has to give yourself the certificate. ...

But some people are still at a very elementary stage, I know. I know I have not told them, because I know this is the year they will be all exposed, no doubt. Then what is the use of doing something in which you will be exposed, and that the whole world of Sahaja Yoga will look at you as a criminal, or as a person who doesn’t need any respect whatsoever. Either you get out of it.And if you are here to gain lots of ascending steps, you have to have your eyes upward and not downward....

.../...Shivaji Maharaj. ... He was a very brave person.

Once you have this, you will not deter from doing anything that is important. You will have no fear of any kind. You will not go round and round, but you will know how to find a solution and how to work it out. This will happen to you; if you really know yourself you will have such powers of courage. You will not be a daredevil, but with wisdom. Courage with wisdom, you will have. And that is what is your Self which will give you lots of wisdom and lots of courage. It’s not a ‘fighting spirit’, it’s not a ‘violent nature’, it’s not a ‘fool nature’, but it’s a very silent, beautiful, courageous attitude.

...Please tell Me.

I’ll be very, very happy to say that today I am seeing so many of you are such good Sahaja Yogis. ‘So’ many of them. And if you find anyone who is not, please report it to Me. Please tell Me. Please find out if there is anyone who is trying to be very oppressive and who is trying to control everything, who is trying to make money, who is trying to have lust and greed being expressed.

So, once you have really worked out, you should know this is the area, what we call as dharma yuddha, dharma yuddha means the war of religion. But not the way people are fighting it. Our dharma yuddha is that we are standing on dharma. And dharma means not religion, but it is Vishwa Nirmala Dharma. We are standing on our religion; and if there’s a negativity, we can call it an adharma, which is fighting, so you stand on your dharma. Unless and until you are dharmic, you cannot have any achievement in Sahaja Yoga.

I have seen people who are, say, abroad, they have funny ideas and they will come and tell Me: “Mother, see, I have a wife, but I am in love with another woman, so what should I do?” I said: “You get out. That’s all. Just get out!” Or you may say, the wife might say that: “Mother, see, I am having relations with another man, and what should I do?” I said: “You get out! That’s all. You get out of Sahaja Yoga. You are no good for Sahaja Yoga, and Sahaja Yoga is no good for you.” Is a complete outcast. They have nothing to do with Sahaja Yoga.

 dragging Sahaja Yoga down

Shivaji Maharaj

Also in India, we have problems of dishonesty. There are dishonest people. This is our special temperament, I think, we have very corrupt people. India has become ‘so’ corrupt. I can’t believe it. I was here about thirty-five years back, we had never heard of corruption. Now they have become ‘so’ corrupt, and that’s what enters – that also enters into Sahaja Yoga. When that enters into Sahaja Yoga, they will be just ‘found out’ and will be punished – not by Me, by you, but by their own Kundalini....

I think all of you understand Me that today I am a little worried about people who are dragging Sahaja Yoga down. And they should understand that I ‘understand’ everything. And when they will be harmed, they should not blame Me for that.

 It is ‘obvious’ that they are nowhere near Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga purifies you every day. You see one experience, you see one person, you see some events, and it purifies you. That’s the sign. Supposing I see somebody, a dishonest man, immediately I start finding: “I hope I am not doing any dishonesty Myself!” Just imagine that you are the one who is the curator, correcting influence on yourself. Where do you stand? Do you stand on the correction point, or on getting finished with it?

Yesterday’s lecture everybody liked very much, but this is the extension of that lecture that I am telling you. That you are very great people, you can save the whole world! I must say I ‘never’ expected all this to happen in My lifetime, and it has happened,.../...

21/03/2001 -- Birthday PUJA -- New Delhi -- India

---------------------- Ganesha Puja: 

3-NOT only for Australians...   1/2

So we have to now understand what are our maryadas are, how we have to live within our maryadas, and I'm sure if you really work out your Shri Ganesha.
For that the best is to meditate.
Put yourself on some nice turf, grass. Sit on that. Put your left hand with the light, and right hand on the Mother Earth, and say Atharva Sheersha. If you can  remember it by heart, it's a very good thing. Otherwise, you can keep the book and read it, or say Ganesha's mantra to begin with. It's going to help you very much. It's going to help you, your eyes, it's going to your whole thing, is going to be very nice.
And also with this kind of a mad Mooladhara, a woman can become extremely aggressive with her husband. I mean, she can be a very cruel woman, and that's what is happening in America now. But I can't understand how women could be that cruel. .../...

Is it hot outside? - Shut up!

It's very serious. For Sahaja yogis very, very serious. They have to revive their innocence. They have to revive their maryadas. They have to delimit themselves. It's very important. Otherwise, I would say that, if you have some wheat spread out everywhere, how can you reach the heights? You have to put them into some bags, some maryadas.
Only by maryadas you can rise.
Of course the kundalini will help.
Of course Ganesha will help also.
But we should also try to watch ourselves. There should be introspection, "Are we still in the same category?"

.../... Australians have to give a very big lead in Shri Ganesha's area because you are sitting on the soil of Shri Ganesha. To all the Sahaja yogis, you must show. But, as you know what, we had horrible experiences so far, and how people have been dominating and doing all kinds of nonsensical things, money-wise and otherwise also morality-wise.

Are we going to follow them?

So it sometimes upsets the whole balance of Sahaja Yoga because it's all depending on Shri Ganesha; that means depending on Australians. And Australians have all the possibility of reaching a great height in Ganesh principle, because they have the Mother Earth here sitting down. What else do they want? You need not take to stupid American-style things. I mean, if you see their Hallowe'en, I tell you, you won't eat your food for eight days. And if you go only to Rio, even you do not visit their carnivals, but even if you see the pictures, you won't eat your food for one month, so horrible they are!

So are we going to follow them, or are we going to start our own Australian Shri Ganesha's special people?

 Or 
this I have to warn you, and people are all watching all over,
all Sahaja yogis are there; you know that all over the world we have Sahaja yogis. They're watching everyone, and you have to do your maximum to express your Ganesh principle, which should be very easy for you. And as I have told you, that Australia was a part and parcel of India once upon a time. It has come down here. So, at least in your films and all that, you can say they're dharmic, they are dharmic. They're not so bad as the American films are, but still this idea of copying the French or the Americans shows that we have lost our personality. But Shri Ganesha gives you a personality. He gives you your personality, because He gives you maryadas. You see, by maryadas only, you get your personality. A person is known by his maryadas. And that's what has to come within us, are our maryadas.

So today's puja is about Shri Ganesha.
As of course you know, He has got four petals and you know what He is placed in and what He does and all that, and how
He looks after the chastity of His Mother and all that.
But the main thing is that how we develop Shri Ganesha within us,
how people see us as the incarnations of innocence on this Earth. I know it's very difficult, but imagine Shri Ganesha sitting on the gate of hell, of excretion, because He's just like a lotus, above everything else, and He makes everything fragrant.
In the same way I expect all of you, the Sahaja yogis of Australia, to have that beautiful personality of Shri Ganesha, and that you emit that fragrance of innocence among all the Sahaja yogis, and then among all the world.
May God bless you.

4- “…free people. Nobody has to govern you.”  2/2

From: 1992-02/13: Picnic with Yogis, Black Mountain Peninsula, Canberra, Australia:...

“… Australians are, that way, very spiritually good I should say, whatever may be the reason, because of Nature or whatever. 
But certain things are missing in them. One is the social. How they relate to each other. That's rather a missing point. So this is a problem. 
So, in collective they are not so good. Individually they are good. Individuals are very good. But into collective something goes wrong with them. 
Also, if you have a leader (so-called, leadership is so-called!) sometimes, they become slaves to the leaders. I mean, so much things they did, these leaders, horrible things!

Management book, India

None of them reported it. 
Nobody told me anything. 
I was shocked, that these leaders are trying to dominate us, they are doing these things,they are making money. 
Nothing: so frightened! 
Like a jailer and a prisoner's attitude. 
This, nowhere I find like that!

Yogi asking:  -Are you talking about Sahaja Yogis in Australia?    
Shri Mataji:  -It happened. Horrible things happened. 
Yogi:  -In the past.  

Shri Mataji:  -In the past.. Even now,! Collective - take it!- is like Melbourne, is no good. We have to do a lot there. But leaders are- that's a myth! You have to tell me. Of course, you are free to tell Me. Nobody can stop you from telling Me. Unless and until I discovered it, nobody told Me.

So docile! I was shocked. You are free people. Nobody has to govern you. Very much frightened!

"Chicken run"

Yogi:  -Well, I only know Canberra, and certainly there is no one domineering or exploiting us in Canberra, that's for sure. And I'll tell you next year if it's changed.
Shri Mataji:  -After all I'm Your Mother, and if they tell: 'Mother said so'. You can always ask Me. And you must know My Style. I would never say certain things. 

"Hunchback of notre-Dame", Frollo

There's nothing like priesthood, nothing like hierarchy in Sahaja Yoga. I was surprised even very intelligent people, were like that. Because you were so frightened that's why they become like that. At least you can write to Me. They were collecting money, without asking Me, for some sort of a purpose I don't know what. I never knew for years. That's not good. I didn't receive and when they asked Me questions I was surprised. They said: 'We sent so much money to You'. I said: 'When?' There's nothing hidden in Sahaja Yoga. Nothing. Everything is an open book. All accounts, everything. Open book! Of course if you ask Me I don't know because I don't keep any accounts I don't keep any money. But it's all there. 

Tian An Men, 1989.

It's checked and audited, and if your leader is not doing that you should find out and let Me know because that's also your duty.

Yogi:   -It's surprising that people wouldn't tell You because You are so approachable. 
Shri Mataji:   -Just imagine!

Yogi:   -I suppose it's a question of balance between You as a Person and You as the Divine and now we sit here and we chat with You, You have your lunch and we talk about anything. -Shri Mataji:   -It's … to Me also.   
Yogi:   -At other times it's in a different mode, we must balance it.

Shri Mataji:   -So many times I've said that leadership has no meaning. It doesn't go into their heads. See we have to establish a new society, of complete freedom within you, freedom from drugs, freedom from any bad habits. A pure life. Nobody can intimidate you. Every time I had to find it. 

Yogi:   -Mother there were quite a few people from Melbourne who had written letters to give to Stephan to give to You. I was wondering whether they had come through?

Shri Mataji:   -No if you think, whatever your problems are you can solve well and good otherwise you must write to Me.

Yogis:   -We did. We gave so many letters...
Stephan:   -Shri Mataji we gave You some in Madras.
Yogis:  - There were three quarters of the collective had signed and written letters to You about problems we have in Melbourne and we gave them to Stephan to hand over to You.

Shri Mataji:   - That's why I am here now!

Yogi:  -Thank-you Mother.

Shri Mataji:   -It's rather complicated. I'll have to play some tricks with them.
