If we FAIL: «Why we have come to the stagnated point»

1 This incarnation can be wasted
2 Meditation should act. 
But if it is not so, then you're not a Sahaja Yogi.
3 Only a Sahaja Yogi can blacken the face of the Divine
4 Is there a failure of the Divine Itself?
5 This is «A partial Yoga of the left Side»

That is why we have come to the stagnated point that we should know we have to use our right side.

"...And in this lifetime you have to grow. And in this lifetime you have to achieve the highest. So the time is so very short! And the background is so dark. You are surrounded by people who are pouring out morning till evening destructive concepts.
Now, you are the people who have to shoot out much faster than all of them. But a kind of a lethargy, though you understand that your awareness is very different from them, a kind of a lethargy, which does not accept it the way it should accept Sahaja Yoga. Every one of you must think every day: What have I done for Sahaja Yoga today? But you are all still very busy with your jobs, of making money, of have relations with people who do not matter at all in Sahaja Yoga. We have to make an all out effort to rise to that point, that whatever we know, we believe in, we act on that and become one with it. You can do that with concepts, but not with reality, this is the problem, I mean ... I will explain this point.
 (1986-0504: 16th Sahasrara Puja,)
Shri Mataji, 1923-2011.
…You should not waste my time, never! 
But it’s to be seen now that if you do not value yourself as realized souls, you can not value my time also,  or what is myself.
-   This incarnation can be wasted completely because of this materialistic attitude.
In these modern times, I don’t know what's gone wrong with human beings because the most important thing in your life is to ascend and to grow. Take a big vision of the whole thing. Why this universe was created? Why you were created as human beings? What was the need to do all these things? For what is it done? If you have a very big vision of the whole thing then try to locate your position: “Where am I?
And then, “How the Divine has selected me and now I have become a Sahaja yogi?
So now, “What is my responsibility?” that, one has to see!
But, on the contrary, I have seen people who are saying have a transfer. So they’ll telephone and ask, “Mother, should we take our seat or not?” That shows they have no value about themselves and no value about Me, both ways. Because they are asking such small things, such silly things, that is impossible to understand how could Sahaja yogis ask such questions.
Shri Nirmala Devi Salve as a baby
In the perspective, we can see the Goddess. She comes on this earth in different forms at different times to save the seekers of truth and to work out the ascent of the seekers of truth. Can you imagine? -A very big difference in the incarnation of the Goddess before Kali Yuga! While now, it's a very different thing that you have come on this earth to become the Sahaja yogis. You have to have a body, a mind, feeling, everything which is just charged with spirituality, charged with your spirituality. Should be, normally, because : how many years in the past you have been seeking God? Then, that you came here. What a coincidence!
But, when, what is it? When you have such a great advantage that you have come to Sahaja Yoga because of your seeking and now you have found the satisfaction out of it : what is the responsibility that you have - that the Incarnation itself has come on this earth, not only to protect you, to nourish you, and to kill the demons. No, She has come on this earth to tell you about everything that is subtler inside and to tell you what should be your relationship: should be outside as well as inside. You were never connected with truth. You were never connected with this all-pervading power. You were never connected with God Almighty.
(…) There’s no earnestness. There’s no expected any kind of a enthusiasm about it. All right, if not today, we will see tomorrow!  Mother says like that “It's not necessary. It's not important. It's all right.”
So, you satisfy yourself.  But who is the loser? 
-Not Me! I don’t need Sahaja Yoga, do I? 
I am doing all the tapasya for your Sahaja Yoga.
What about you people doing some tapasya about it? So now, what I am trying to say that you have got your realization. Now you have reached a great state of understanding, also of the inner knowledge and also about your connection with the spirit and with the God Almighty. All this you know now. Many things you know.
Despite that, it's not yet what it should be from your heart, from your earnest desire. It doesn’t help at all any one to deceive oneself, never.
So I am not saying something for x, y, z. I am saying for all of you. Don’t try to cheat yourself. You are here with such a great purpose. This purpose is corrective and is the freedom of our minds from all these nonsensical destructive forces and then to spread it all over, talk about it.
My own conviction is this, 
that something has to happen
 to Sahaja yogis 
to realize how important it is
to work out 
something that is within us,
which is potential,
which is just about to bubble up. 
It’s a responsibility, whether you are a Jew, a Christian or anything makes no difference. It is all outside. For what you have to do that you have come into a new realm of awareness, into a new realm of a higher life where you know all your inner self, you know all about what is good and what is not.
Shiva Tandava, Ellora caves
(…) But this inner knowledge which you have is something like this – that “I have a inner knowledge about, say about, how to build these things but I don’t do it”. It’s as simple as that.”I just don’t do it! I have the inner knowledge, all right. I have a Ph.D. but I am mad.”  It's like that.
So many people mentally very well equipped in Sahaja Yoga, I know. But as far as the following of Sahaja Yoga is concerned, they are not there.
So I am warning you now. It's like Christ has said, “Some seeds which are sprouted fell on the street and dried out and died.”
Now the judgment is going on all the time. When I am talking to you, it's all the judgment is going on. …But what has to work is your faith that “I’m going to do things which are truthful, which are sensible, down to earth and I’m going to keep myself absolutely, extremely free and I’m going to look after not only my inner being but the inner beings of others.”
1993-10/24: Navaratri Puja: Re-Introspect Yourself, Cabella, Italy
 
...then you're not, you're not a Sahaja Yogi...
...So they might be intelligent, they might be well read, they might be able to discover something out of matter, but they do not have wisdom. And the wisdom can only come through honest introspection. But it should not be also, "I'm catching on this chakra, I'm catching on that chakra." Not that. But, "Why am I not seeing the point? What's the matter with me? Why can't I understand what is Sahaja Yoga?"
Even when you have become Sahaja Yogis now for years together, still these old nonsensical things stick on to you, these ideas stick on to you. Why? Why do we not have that purity of Divine Discretion, which sees everything so clearly?
So I think we need collectivity first of all, and secondly meditative honesty. Just to meditate, sit down before the photograph, do the meditation - no!    Meditation should act, should work.
(24 Nov.2011)
If it does not work, something wrong with you. Absolutely something wrong. If you feel everything is working all right, everything is miraculously showing its presence, presence of the Paramachaitanya, then you are all right.
But if it is not so, if there are problems, then you're not, you're not a Sahaja Yogi. Sahaja Yogi is the one who is completely connected with this Paramachaitanya.
And for that, age is no bar. I have seen girls who are only sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years so wise. Even small little children who were with Guido, I talked to them. I was surprised at their wisdom. So very wise, so beautiful. They understood human nature so well. Small little children about, they were at the most, ten years of age. And nice to talk to them. So that wisdom if they can have at that age, now we are also, all of us are about ten year old Sahaja Yogis, minimum, nothing else. 
But still we are struggling, ambitious and wrong priorities. There is no need to have any ambition. Ambition is an imaginary thing.
But Sahaja Yoga is reality. Everything works out. Everything sorts itself. Everything plans out. But to feel that if this is so, as I said in a small room there are twelve people, it's something for the good. Why not? We have to be there. If I've lost the way, supposing, then I would say I have to go this way.
This time we made a ticket which was little wrong according to everyone because we had to go through Phoenix. But nice because I felt the vibrations of Phoenix, I had to go that way. I had to see that. So always to find something smooth, the way we want it to be smooth, is not the way of Sahaja Yoga. Whatever we get it, we see the hand of the Divine behind it.
What is our purpose of life? Our purpose of life is to save people, save the Americans, minimum of minimums. Not the world, but at least start with Americans. That's our purpose of life. That's our identity. While doing that, there is Paramachaitanya which is going to look after you completely. But first you put yourself before everything else.
"I must have this, I must have that, I must have this." -It won't work out!  Then, "I have this problem, I jumped into bankruptcy, I had that problem, I just couldn't manage." Because you have put other things before your "self". "Self" means the Spirit. According to people, "self" means selfishness, but according to Sahaja Yoga, "self" means your Spirit.
So today's lecture should not be that we hear from one ear and goes through the same one, but should we little bit ponder about it and listen to it again and again. I have great hopes for you. I have worked very hard in America, very much. But it has never been that state where I could say, "Now I can trigger something." Even if there are few Sahaja Yogis who are very deep and good, they are pulled down by others - by jealousies, by this, by that. - It's not the number that you are but the quality that you are, first of all.
(1990-05/28: National Puja Camp Marsden, San Diego, USA)

I hope the reader will forgive your SwayamBlogger  for allowing himself, if not comments, at least questions, just in order to "ponder about it". May I be forgiven by the readers if this sounds quite school-like.
  1. How do we know that our meditation is not " all right"? - or is all right?
  2. Under which conditions does the Paramchaitanya look after you?
  3. What is the meaning of " while doing that"?
  4. Can a Sahaja yogi be pulled down?
  5. Do those teachings have anything to do with the situation that we are witnessing those days?
-------------------------------------
...blacken  the Face of the Divine...
Today we have assembled here to celebrate the Diwali, the Deepavali (=row of lamps) . 
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 (= lamps). And the wick - as you call it- is 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)
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.   …
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.
 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. …
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.   
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.
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"
But it's only a Sahaja Yogi which can form that cloud to cover It.
They only can finish the hope of this world.
They only can bring the real 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.
17 Nov. 1985-Diwali  Puja,  Italy
specially starting at 21:50 
"can also burn..."
A failure of the Divine Itself?
.. But if you are satisfied with things which are useless and nonsensical, then what am I to do with that? Now you just tell me,  with someone who is interested in things which are nonsensical, now, ,how do you bring them round? -I mean, there is no psychology that can bring them round, you see, because you have to have the desire to be all right. 
But this is something so innate, being the process itself is a living process and doesn't work out if the people do not have the pure desire. Now this written down since long. It cannot be changed, it cannot be forced, it  cannot be sort of explained, or discussed, or argued, nothing can be done; it has to work out within you.
Now even when you have worked it out on someone, you may not achieve the results. That's possible. You  may, you may not.
So, when the situation is so difficult and where the children are also so adamant, then what can Mother do? Is to push them in. See, I am very much concerned, that this ego which is sometimes so selfish and so conceited, that it satisfies itself and it's very happy, it will not allow you to get to the, that point where you really stand, where you have all your powers, where you are the master of your being. It will not allow. The identification with the ego is so much, that's easy to take a bull by the horn but to take a ego-oriented man through Sahaja Yoga's practices is very difficult.
I am rather today in a mood of, I should say little disgust, I should say, but also the other mood comes on me - of complete compassion, and tremendous love. That somehow I should do something to bring sense into the heads of these people. Something should happen to them because otherwise what I see is a complete disaster. It's going to come, believe Me, it's going to come. I don't want to frighten you like Mrs.Thatcher does about Russians:that might be imaginary. But this -  is real!  and I am telling you it's going to come to us. It will come as diseases, self-destruction. But the greatest thing is the failure of the Divine Itself that it could not communicate with you people, who were made specially, who were brought to this Earth on this time, who have to have the Kingdom of Heaven. And suddenly you find they all dropped out of the sieve.
Sahaja Yogis also sometimes feel very frustrated, I know. But whatever it is, as far as I am concerned, I have tremendous desire now. But I am so desireless that this desire also may not work out. You see, I am a desireless person. Now what to do?
 So I ask Sahaja Yogis to desire, that the people should have that great desire to  become the Spirit. This is the greatest thing that we can give to our brothers and sisters, to the progeny, to the people who are children today, to this beautiful world.  We need these beautiful lights and the beautiful time which they all have to enjoy.
I hope those who have come for the first time will understand My difficulty and will try to see that you desire only your Self Realization and nothing else. Just desire that!
2007
I request you to desire your Self Realization and forget about everything, even if you are managing director or may be the King George the Fifth, you see? Better keep all your issues outside about it, and just desire that you become the Spirit.
You see the difference between Me and Christ is here: He got so fed up that He said, . "Let Me be crucified". I  mean, of course it was in the plan that He should be crucified also. But I mean that won't solve the problem now. I have to see that you all get your Resurrection somehow.
 It's like a Mother's desire who wants to give a bath to the child and get him cleansed somehow, you see. So whichever way you like - whether you like a chocolate or whether you like a little rebuking or whatever way you like, I am willing to work it out, but, please, at least, desire that you have to have your Self Realization!
May God bless you!

IF WE FAIL
I will be talking to you about all these things, in the beautiful atmosphere here, and on the bank of Krishna river.
We have to understand that the river flows, it makes a sound. It makes a sound to show that she, it exists.
But we are -not only the rivers. We are all the mountains, rivers, everything of the universe we are.
And our manifestation is like a big zero as if the Mother Earth has been emptied out. It is time that we should watch ourselves and see ourselves.
What's wrong with us? - Very important ! I had to say this once again, and again but I don't like to say these things because I love you so much. And I care for you so much. And you people also love Me.
But loving is not sufficient, you have to love yourself and respect yourself. Only your self is going to work out. As Shivaji Maharaj has said, ' Swa dharma Wadwa' 'You must develop the religion of your spirit'.
That's what we have to do. Is to develop the religion of our spirit. And once it happens, we can get the whole world completely emancipated. This is our work.
And if we fail,
then it is the responsibility 
of Sahaja yogis
and nobody else.
So for everyone I have to tell you that I don't have to please you, you have to please Me.
For a small thing people react. For a small thing they feel bad. If I don't smile at somebody they feel bad. In little, little things they feel bad and they react. If I say anything, they react. So how can anything go into you? If it is such a convexity, how will you absorb it?

It is important that we should try to absorb with humility, with understanding.
 Now you are Sahaja yogis, you know I am Adishakti. You have had photographs, you have known that I am Adishakti. But how much are we absorbing? How much we are taking within ourselves? 
"You know I am..." (24 mn)
This work is much more than anyone of the incarnations had to do. Is much more than Christ, is much more than Rama, much more than Shri Krishna. So create such great people among you. Because I have the power.
Only thing you have to have, the absorption power,  the acceptability.
But if you run after something very cheapish, and something very frivolous, it's impossible.
You have to ask for your depth, and you have to take in whatever is emitting from My being.
I hope now, you all will take it up seriously.

1989-12/30: Puja, Brahmapuri, India- extracts

 ... A partial Yoga of the left Side ...
SWAYAMBLOGGER: 
2002 was a year just before 2003. And 2003 in Sahaj history was the year of Mother starting to go silent, and of the SPLIT in the Italian collectivity. So this talk from 2002 might really be some kind of TESTAMENT. When we read the discourse of the ADI SHAKTI puja, we can understand that Mother gave us TWO KEYS of understanding.
First : HOW did She build up Sahaj
Second: What are WE expected to do from now (2002) on: to do "more" than what the Saints ever did.
Then the question arises: what has been happening to us since? 
These few lines should invite all of us to a careful listening of all the tape, and to search for the answer to the question that is at the essence of this SawamBlog: As S-Y is a collective Being,then,what could be a COLLECTIVE INTROSPECTION?

"... So the first thing I tried was to study about the kundalini, that I should be able to raise the kundalini. And I knew I had come for that, not for anything else, but only to raise the kundalini of people so that they take to the central path, not to the right or to the left. But I told you the knowledge of the left side, plus raising your kundalini. By raising your kundalini you broke your Sahasrara, and you entered into the realm of real joy, of reality. 
So yours is not a complete yoga, yours is a partial yoga of the left side, where you are very loving, you are very kind, very this thing. I am not saying that you should become aggressive in any way. But even I have seen people want to be leaders, they want to be something great; but how many people have they given realization? How many people have they talked about Sahaja Yoga? I have said even in the aeroplane also you go, you walk in the street, anywhere people talk about Sahaja Yoga.
But here we are using Sahaja Yoga for our greatness, for our understanding of ourselves. This is not why Sahaja Yoga has been brought to you. It has been brought to you for giving realizations to many people.
I request all the younger people, younger generation not to waste their Sahaj energies on nonsense as the old people have done. You'd better go ahead and talk to people about Sahaja Yog, and spread the Sahaja Yoga. They are more interested in running schools, in looking after the destitute, doing this, doing that - that's not your job.
Your job is to create more Sahaja yogis, more Sahaja yoginis.
But that is not there, what I find is it's not there.
The right side is missing. You should come to the right side. Go all ahead. Nothing will happen to you. Nobody can kill you, nobody can disturb you, nobody can arrest you, take it from Me. You have powers but if you don't use them, you are like this.
Shri Hanuman sets fire to Lanka
That is why we have come to the stagnated point that we should know we have to use our right side. Right side is very important. Next time I'll tell you about right side, what right-sided things you have. Now you cannot become left-sided whatever you may try; so you use your right side in the right direction with the right understanding, not as some sort of, I should say, very arbitrary or very dominating, like Hitlers.
We have had also Hitlers among Sahaja yogis.
But now the time has come for you to do something more than what the saints have done before, to work it out that way; not to keep to yourself that you have a family, you have very nice children, having, enjoying, all that - that's not the Sahaja Yoga for. Sahaja Yoga is for transforming the whole world. You have to think about it: what are you doing, where are you, and what have you achieved out of Sahaja Yoga?
Then we come to the Agnya.
In Agnya what has happened is Sahaja yogis are become, they have, they can bear anything, they can suffer anything - that's not ( what)  we want.
What we want, to remove the sufferings of others, remove the aggression of others. So we don't -  that kind of organization we don't have, that kind of understanding we don't have.
And if that works out, you will be different people. So we have become like saints, you see, sitting in their hermit halls, something like that, not more than that.
So better try to do something positive, without aggression. I know some of you are still very aggressive, are show-offs, I know that. But if you get into the mood of working out collectively, then you will realize what mistakes you have, still what is lacking in your personality - that is very important. At Agnya Chakra many Sahaja yogis falter, I don't know what happens to them.
At Agnya I have told that you must forgive.
But that doesn't mean that you allow people to do wrong things.
Because you want to forgive it's very easy not to fight, not to say anything, just keep out, just forgive - no! 
You go and talk to that person and tell him it is wrong. 
You have to face it!
If you cannot face it, then you are useless, just like any other people. What's the use of you people getting your realization?
So now we have to understand that it's not only that we have vibrations, that we are all right, that you can cure some people is the last word - no!   :  You have to spread it, you have to go in the public, you have to be collective on this point and you have to spread Sahaja Yoga.
With so many Sahaja yogis all over the world we have not progressed much.
So now it is you have to plan what you want to do, how you want to do it, and how you want to spread Sahaja Yoga. It's very important.
 Because you people are good at, say,
talking about Sahaja Yoga,
singing about Sahaja Yoga;
all these things are useless unless and until you have concrete proof of getting many more people in Sahaja Yoga.
In a small country like Turkey we have twenty-five thousand Sahaja yogis - what do you say? They are all Muslims, twenty-five thousands Muslim becoming Sahaja yogis, while you find that number is very small in any other country. They are not very rich, but they care for their Self-realization and for toward giving Self-realizations to others. It's very surprising how it has worked out, how it has spread.
 ...So many people have complained to Me that Sahaja yogis are nothing but dead people. 
 Is that what you are?
Only single person like Me has done so much work, so why not you people?
In your country have you worked it out all over? Just think about it. And that's why, unless and until you don't do it you are not sampurna, you are not complete, and the Adi Shakti's powers you have not understood in its full form. 

2002-06/23: Shri Adi Shakti Puja, Cabella
