Dear trustees to LET, Dear trustees to NT

Let me wish all of you a happy new year - filled with good resolutions.Maybe you could be interested in being helped, by remembering the new year wishes Shri Mataji asked from us at the beginning of the Millenium?
Shri Mataji has expressed in many occasions that collectivity is the best way She could find to soothe the 'angularities' of our human egos.

Obviously, the negativity does not need to be very smart to sneak in through any crack that it can find, exactly the same way that water does through the abandoned roof of any house. The existence of two TRUSTS in India, happening to be adversaries in many cities, has been providing for too long such opportunities to negativity. Another double danger is existing, destroying the Sahajis from inside: to those who blindly follow one, and to those who distrust both.

You, trustees are, until now, responsible for that - and certainly not the ordinary Sahajis. Division and un-collectivity, whatever were the motives, are ANTI-SAHAJ, and violate the collective consciousness that stands for the basis of Self realization, and Sahaja Yoga itself. Hence, let us, all of us, take good resolutions, and mend the cracks. Now.

Deep from my heart

For that, first thing is needed is your Sangha Shakti, that is your collectivity.
«This collectivity has to be extremely well built-in, well made, well understood and absolutely lovable. This is not difficult in Sahaja Yoga, because practically all your jealousies, all your baser ideas have been completely washed out by your Kundalini.She has transformed you, you are different people; you are very, very different. Not only that, but you have now understood yourselves. You are knowing your Self. And all those who know their self cannot fight with each other. Because this Self is the reflection of one person, of one Deity, of one God. And so how can you fight? When He is within your heart, how can you fight with each other>>2000-12/31: New Year Puja, Kalwe, India

Dear Kalpana, dear Sadhana,

Every Sahaja yogi believes he can guess the joys, and also the difficulties of being born from Shri Mataji. Though, I am sure that nobody in our sangham can know what those difficulties are.
The Indian tradition establishes that the family and the heirs of a spiritual leader become in-charge of the material management of the assets, which allow the followers to carry on with the teachings that they revere. After the passing of your father, this legacy has fallen on you. This is not an easy task. There is no politics in this letter, nor vibratory magic. Just realities.

The situation of sahaj now is at risk. You know how many divisions have taken place, that Shri Mataji would never have allowed while living and active. Not only that, but the Ganapatipule event has resulted in giving a bad name in newspapers to your Mother's work. The risks are growing worse. The sahaj community is worried, and feels in danger.
Both are the reasons.

Firstly, the spiritual orientation of Sahaja Yoga has not been surrendered to the Sahajis. The conflicts started with the World Council (whatever they were) have never been soothed down. They have lead to more fragmentation only.
- It is time to understand that the allegiance of such (or such) country to such (or such) member of your family lays down the basic root of the worsening of that issue. More fragmentations, more negative happenings…jealousies, hatred, are coming up…
The situation is what it is, and it is time you -both- take an initiative. You both being "in-charge" of so many "boards", you have the power for calling to unity, and even provide a place and a time for such a covenant.

The second reason is more personal. Everybody knows about the difficulties around the heritage. But also many advocate for the special place both of you shared in the heart of your mother, our Shri Mataji, and consider you as true persons, embodiments of loyalty.
- On the stage in 2008, Shri Mataji asked to build up a Central Committee, and a second Central Committee in INDIA.
How is it that, after five (5) years, India remains divided? How is it that each "Trust" has one of You Both as leader? Hence, how is it that the root of division is being found in the persons supposed to love so much their mother, and carry on with her work: both of you?
This letter, you know understand, is not for diplomacy. Five years have been used already for dealing with the 'rhythms and pace' of human minds.
How is it that KalpanaDidi comes to Ganapatipule, and no sign of SadhanaDidi? Did you have two different mothers?

This is for summoning both of you: the LEGACY includes unity!
- Be conscious of the 'bad name' You are bringing upon Your Mother's life-work, now that negativity is able to crrep in through the crack of the sangham, and expose us shamefully in the newspapers for our shortcomings.
- Be conscious that the divisions are the gate for entrance of all kinds of negativities in the Sahaj Sangham; from real crooks to dangerous spiritual practices, from bacterias in GP to deaths in ISPS.
- And finally, be conscious that, by assuming the key-role in both trusts, You only have today the keys to the betterment of Sahaj, the healing of the collective, and will bear the full responsibility, as in-charge always do.

I hope you managed to read this whole page. My simple opinion is that the persons in-charge have to overcome their problems, if they want to assume the LEGACY of your mother our Shri Mataji, by soothing, healing, uniting, and taking the proper decisions, -or resign, recede, withdraw, pass it on, - so that Her teachings will not be lost..

With love, concern and sorrow

Dear members/trustees of the World Foundation.

There is no place to communicate such feelings, and as a result, the WF/board only moves between greedy/angry claims and internal fights (countries, CP/Family, etc…), which leads to a self-defence-type attitude. Very disappointing to all.

Which is the feeling of the yogis, that the assistance is falling down and the finances in red? What is this hard and cruel reality? Which tracks lead to betterment?

Let's remember the meaning of the word 'trustee': Trustees are "in charge of the property, or the business affairs, of an institution".

As long as Shri Mataji was there, She had the control over the decisions, the finances and the account balance.

It has been three years now that we miss Her. While missing this active control, let's consider this reality, and share a little feed-back! Shri Mataji always referred to trial and error, so, identifying one or several errors is not a shame, but a sign of betterment.

Reality-check means that, as long as a complete audit is not performed, and a list of the errors recognized, such a 'Cabella trust' will not fully meet its public's expectations.

The collective is not that much interested in money, than in good management, openness and transparency. As long as the management as well as the strategy will appear weird and secret and loss-making, the donations will be minimum.

And any new team, for as good as it may be, will carry the burden of this legacy:

- So many problems have arisen, unfortunately feeding the gossiping machine, from the wages of this person, to the maryadas of that one, from designing a boarding while forgetting the emergency stair, to generating such a suspicion about Mongiardino that information about its funding had to be published recently. That dimension of misunderstandings is a reality.

- Having balance in "red".
The short power-point presentations of the accounts, mixed with the photographies of happy children, during Guru Puja, have never met with the expectations of the Sahajis, nor soothed their disaffection. They sound more like a self-satisfaction performance.
Until now, the Countries have been compelled to "fill the holes" while the puja fees keep on rising.
But spontaneous individual contributions are not there. Losses are reality.
Maybe wrong strategy, maybe mistakes in planning the finances, this appreciation has to be done by the Board, recognized and corrected. This -is the charge of trustees.

- Pujas, rituals.
Cabella was a place to meet Mother. Of course, the Castle keeps amazing vibrations. But the vibrations of some pujas though, are sadly disappointing many. Others are just great.

==> What is this fiction that Shri Mataji has to come down from the Castle? Are the pujaris going to impose the yogis to bring Her picture all the way from Cabella to New York of Hong Kong, in order to cope with the 'protocols'? Let these Pujaris teach us, first, where She is not! The most She will be considered residing in the Castle, the less She will be present in our meditation. Let's consider this danger as it is: a reality

>> Are we becoming another hindu cult? Now that the pujas are massively criticized for their ritualism, everybody wonders: how is it that Pujari has become a life-long function? Who is deciding, and how, about the pujas?

Hence, the assistance is lower now, despite the fact that Mother lived 20 years in Cabella, as many do declare feeling better (in their hands) at home or in their centers. Different people, elders included, have been deciding not to come anymore, and spare their money for India, Africa, Brazil. Even some people go on repeating that Cabella is over now, just as Shuddhi Camps met with its end, and that any Sahaja place has its own life-time.

Solutions can easily be found from the meaning of 'trustees'.

The trustees are responsible before the persons who contribute to the institution: the Collective. If not of the Castle, the Collective being is the real owner, now, of the Trust that organizes the events of the Collective, its school, its seminars etc. Through their direct contributions to the Foundation, or through funding by their countries, the yogis are the real sustain.
Whenever they do not have a say, any disapproval is automatically manifested by a lack of contribution, as there is no other way of expression. Individuals are doing it, countries may follow.
There is no escape to this reality: the WF is responsible before the Collective.
What is needed, then?

0- A sincere audit of some shortcomings, and how those situations meet a solution.

1- Those issues have to be made public beforehand, to that extent that national councils (and the simple members who want to get involved) are fully informed. This way, they will be put in capacity to form propositions, (critics), projects,
- and to compromise themselves in financing them, or providing help and volunteering.

2- The countries that are contributors are the ones who should build up and take the main decisions.

3- The WF-board is commissioned to managing the Foundation according to the wishes of the sangham. This includes reforming the pujas, and the protocol, but also:
the agendas of the seminars, pedagogies, permanent access to videos, sessions of meditation
a true care about the preservation of Shri Mataji's teachings, practices and techniques, especially in the market-booths, during festivals, academies, healing/wellness sessions etc.

Transparency and involvement of many will also provide positive conditions to the rotation, and renewal of the members, board, staff, voluntaries, of the WF.

And this, what it is all about: TRUST.

Dear friends, and doctors,
How many critics have you received?
How many yogis have duly appreciated the difficulties of your position?
Though, how many have asked the real question?

The real question was not about what was Mother's disease, (dementia, sodium, visions…). It was not about the drug, nor about the dosis. It was not about sahaj, non-sahaj, paid, not-paid, doctors, nurses… The real question would not have allowed sending a commando to Mother's house, or accusing the Doctors of poisoning, nor manipulation.

- The real question to ask was such, that no outside thing or person could be 'questioned'.

The question to ask was: How is it that Shri Adi-Shakti-Mataji gets so sick?

And the answer was known to all of us, but everyone preferred to seek responsibles and culprits. Shri Mataji had expressed it in many opportunities.
Of course we can form mental explanations: 'in Her Maya, She does something that we do not understand'. Or: ' She must be fighting devils in the other worlds'; ' New times have come, and, if She would not take over Herself this amount of pain, we could not stand the amount of Vibrations'.
The answer was and still is to be found inside:

This is not a kind of a warning
but a request,
because you are in my body,
and whenever anybody tries to be troublesome in my body
I have to bear it up,
and I suffer a lot.
It’s a funny type of a crucifixion
when every moment you are hanged onto a cross by anyone who wants to do it.
Sahaja yogis have all the laws in their hands to torture My life,
to trouble me if they want to;
but they have also such a capacity, such a calibre, such a potential
that they can reside in my heart forever.
Open your hearts, that’s the thing I will say.
Sahasrara Puja 1987

So, "we" have been taken by Her in Her Body, and "we" only could make Her sick and "we" had been warned. Publicly, again and again.
This leads us to another enigma. How is it that nobody, Doctors, or Leaders, or councils, or trusts, or foundation, has addressed the Sangham to listen seriously, and meditate, on those words of Mother.

Dear friends, and doctors,
and readers,
Why this 'open letter'?
Because we do not have any forum, any meeting, to talk about what matters.
And what did matter was to understand this:
Do you know, I entirely depend on you? Do you know that? That my complete existence is there because of sahaja yogis, otherwise I would be finished. And this moment, perhaps you do not know:
I would not exist in this body, if you people give me up, -is a fact which I must accept and you must (consider).
Anyway, because, see, now if you do not take my Vibrations, there will all be here, frozen, I will become a frozen mummy, only emitting Vibrations. That’s all. I won’t be speaking to you. It happens.

Wherever you see the negativity, you have to stand up and say, 
"This is negativity and nothing else. Whether you like it or not."
 In that, you love that person, you don't hate. 
Only talking sweetly, is not the idea of love. 
No, a mother sometimes even scolds the child. Doesn't mean that she doesn't love. 
If it is necessary, you have to tell the person that it is negativity. 
Of course, if there is a realized person he won't mind any correction - because he wants the correction, he knows that it has to be corrected. The instrument has to be corrected.

But a person who doesn't understand, you have to force your love on that person. 
You can force that love - you know that - sitting down here. 

Many people have tried putting love around certain people who were trying to be mischievous - and they have been able to achieve great results. Those people have turned back and come back. 
Only by putting your hand and putting your attention on that person and moving this hand like this, the love encircles, then the person comes back. 
There is no doubt that there is negativity and positivity, nothing in between these, you must remember. 
There is no compromise between the two. 
Either it is light and darkness, or it is positive and negative - definitely there are two things that are fighting. 
Only thing your will - that's the trouble in [is?] the whole joke. 
That your will is respected, 
your will is throughout respected. 
If you have the will to be a giant that loves, you can be.

In Sahaja Yoga, as you know that we have to ask some people to leave Sahaja Yoga, this is out of love for them, because once they go out, they improve, I have seen they tremendously improve.

But when they are inside the Sahaja Yoga community they become a nuisance, and they want to be more nuisance because their ego plays the part, maybe the conditioning plays the part, whatever it is. 

They want to be a nuisance, so we have to ask them that, "Please now, depart for a while." Now if that nuisance value is lost in a person then he has to be straightforward. He cannot be any more a nuisance. And logically it can appeal to a person if you tell that person that, "This is the reason why we want you to be out." 

But they can be very disgustingly troublesome, I know that. But you have to show complete patience and complete understanding and you must talk like a person who loves.

But all these ganas are there and they are so kind and so nice, but apart from that, they are also watching you. They're seeing how is your behavior. If you try to take advantage of Sahaja Yoga by any chance, 

it may be punished, 

it may act against you. 

I have warned you many times not to exploit Sahaja Yoga for your advantage. It is for the advantage of others and not for your advantage. You already have got your own Realization. But exploitation should not be there at all. 

On the contrary, the enjoyment of Sahaja Yoga is the best way to know Sahaj Yoga. So far we have had some bad experiences, but very, very few.

 If you have not crossed your Agnya and you start spreading Sahaja Yoga, then you can become really a funny person, not a Sahaja yogi. 

This leadership business is a myth, and this myth must be seen as a myth. Whether you are leader or not leader makes no difference. But the maturity has to come. 

Now I am telling all this because I have decided not to punish anybody in this lifetime; so that you see for yourself, yourself you understand, yourself you realize. I know you very well, all of you, somehow. But I want you to realize yourself, "What are we doing wrong? Where are we doing right?" - and don't judge Sahaja Yoga on what merits you get out of it. If you are not getting merits there's something wrong with you. If you can really understand this, then you will become subtler and subtler and all your gross attachments will become absolutely negligible. You may have concern, but you won't have attachment. From inside, this complete detachment has to come up.

And that can come, as I told you, getting rid of your anger, first. Secondly, getting rid of attachments to material things, by generosity. It's nice to give something to somebody, you enjoy your generosity, you really enjoy. Generosity is to be enjoyed. And once you start enjoying your generosity, then you realize that you, your love, your compassion, it has now started flowing to others. 

.../.... Everybody says, "Mother, You are too generous" - in My family, everybody thinks I am very generous and a gone case - but I don't have to generate. But perhaps you people through introspection will definitely become generous, and this generosity will start flowing. I've known people who have lots of money, lots of things, but not one single pai they'll give to Sahaja Yoga, not one single pai.
