May God bless you!

now as your house is settled down, your backbone is strengthened, you have to take a vow that you will stand for Christ. And for His great morals, and for the great things He said, that we have to be.
And we have to tell people, "What are you doing? This is wrong. You cannot do it." They are more vocal when it comes to something degrading, like drinking. If you don't drink they'll say, "Why don't you drink?" They will force you:. "why don't you drink? You must drink, you must have this."
But when it comes to morality, nobody dares anything. We don't discuss religion, very good. This is the silent conspiracy. We don't discuss religion, because if you discuss we are not religious.
So people have to speak about it.
You must speak. You must talk about it.
You must give realization.
Move your hands, move your legs. You have to walk across for God's work, so even if you have to beg you have to do that. This is God's work. All of us have to do that, God's work, with all dedication, with all surrendering and with all love and enjoyment. So, may God bless you all.
1981-12/07: House Warming Puja, Brompton Square, London
So for today's New Year let us vow within ourselves that the selfishness or the self-centeredness of the smallest in you is finished. Now the drop has to become the ocean.
Live like an ocean and like a lion. Don't roar at others and be generous -and don't be afraid of others. Everything is taken care of, but believe that everything is taken care of. Sometimes you might feel that you are let down, or you might feel that this should have happened. Do not desire for it.
Whatever you desire is not correct, that's all. If the desire is correct and it's deserving it will happen - one hundred per cent. So all the best. Have the greatest year, and happiness and joy. Do your responsibilities. Understand each other.

Don't worry about anything else but worry about Sahaja Yoga. That has to be established all over the world. Very great work one has done, of course. I mean, you can't say, one has done as much one can do, but you can do much more. You can become really dynamic and you can do it.
Try to think of ways and methods of doing it. May God bless you. So now with all these dreams and blues, should we start giving presents now.

So today is the day when one has to determine how far you are a guru, first point.
You have to take a pledge that you will establish your Guru Principle, second point.So today is the day when one has to determine how far you are a guru, first point.
Thirdly, you have to pledge that you will establish Guru Principles in others.
Fourthly, you have to know that there is a little snag, that your Guru is a Mother. She's too kind to be a guru, too mild to be a guru, and extremely tolerant. So it is better that you take up this strictness towards yourself, and look after yourself.
May God bless you. So you become your own guru.
1982-07/04: Establishing the Guru Principle, Adi Guru Puja, Nightingale Lane London
October 1982
From today you all have to take a vow - is the New Year's Day for us, that we all will surrender our horrible tempers, dominating natures, asserting behaviors, ego-oriented, harshness, domination. I don't know what use it has.
Unless and until you surrender that, the Lord of Virginity, Shri Ganesha, will not be able to crown your Agnya Chakra. Whatever we have done so far should just give us this. If our past could give us the idea as to how humble we have to be with each other, with all the Sahaja Yogis, how kind we have to be, how loving, how universal.

| Genuineness... |
So one must know that by your own behavior you can talk to another person. And that behavior should not be superficial, but must be coming from the heart, the concern. The concern that this person [has a] genuine concern and even a dog knows that, you don't have to tell anybody. By taking some sort of a vow, but even a dog knows what is a genuine concern and what is not a genuine concern.
With that concern you have to try.
And that is what you lack: is the genuineness within ourselves, our heart if not open.
Open your heart. Now you have entered into the Kingdom of God open your heart...
Why are you here? For what? Ultimately what is going to happen, you are all going to die, isn't it?
So pick that point? You are going to die whether a tiger [eats you] or we jump from anywhere. Something has to happen to us to die, so why should there be any fear?
Now if there could be a genuine fear, is that you may not receive your Realization. Even this genuine fear has no meaning because this thing can also kill your chances of Realization. If you believe that God is great and that His compassion is great, really from your heart, you'll get your Realization no doubt. You all are there for that and the Divine power itself is anxious to give you, extremely anxious. You can see.

So you have to remove this mud from your eyes. This is a very common feature in the West that, either they are suspicious, or they are 'indulgent'; there's nothing in between. Either the people who are suspicious of others, or there are people who are indulging into, so have it [inaudible].
First thing I have to request, because you are the first Sahaja Yogis now, who have come for the first time to India, that this soil of our country is full of rhythm of Shri Ganesh. You are sitting on it; you have to vow that: 'I will establish my Ganesha.'
Don't worry about others, your attention on others. 'I'll establish my Ganesha, and let this Mother earth; give me the full strength to establish my Shri Ganesha.'
This is very important because, unless and until your Shri Ganesh is established, you cannot be connected to the whole,
nor can you have the enjoyment, of your spirit:
you'll be a half-baked personality, which you should not be.
1984-01/21: Shri Ganesha Puja, Nasik, India
February 1984
Instead of that, if you live with false notions about yourself, artificial things, absurd ideas, all nonsense that we have gathered through our upbringing, through our rationality, through our reading, through other gurus and through our own mental projections, are going to be extremely dangerous for the growth of every individual Sahaja yogi, as a whole also, it will affect.
So we have to take a vow that we are going to behave in a manner which beholds our advent not for others, our advent at this time which is being described and prophesized. Prophecy was made long time. If we understand that we have come on this earth for that purpose, we'll really separate ourselves from all the rest of the nonsense that goes on and try to rise towards the sky as these trees have done.
and anyone who tries to create a kind of a group
or tries to impress you by saying that she can teach you something higher, lower
all kinds of techniques,
and this and that, you have to know.
First of all, you must know that Sahaja yoga is a growth within and that growth expresses itself out, so that within growth is to be done by you fully with full understanding.
Then I don't have to tell you about anyone. You won't be vulnerable to nonsensical talk and jabbery.
You have some people who are intellectuals. Intellectuals have a bad habit, of intellectualizing everything. Intelligence is nothing for God because God has created it. So you have to see through that.
There are some people who are very emotional and try to express themselves emotionally. You have to get out of those ideas. And you have to understand that emotions can play a very dangerous role in life.
1984-02/13: International Seminar, Bordi
September 1984 |
| 1984, Ganesha Puja in Zermatt, with the Matterhorn/Cervin-in the form of Shri Ganesha |
and
when this become Ekadesha Rudra, and when Christ is going to come in that form, then there will be no compromise,
no "Mataji!",
no crying,
no argument, nothing!
Shri Ganesha Himself will throw people into hell.
So be careful on that!
Today, in the Presence of Shri Ganesha, you have to take an oath that,
"Whatever is the past of my country, I will get opposite to that."
Like, I would say, Indians are not very good with the money; money matters they can be very horrid, and sometimes they create a problem with money matters. So, one has to know that we have to be absolutely astute as far as money is concerned.
It is not sufficient only to be something innocent, but it is more that it should be proved, that people should know that you are innocent!
Like I asked my son-in law, he is a very honest man, whether this would be honesty, so he answered, "This may be honesty for outside purpose, but it is not in the essence of honesty."
So, that is how you have to be honest, in the essence of it, and the essence of honesty is innocence. Essence of sincerity is innocence. Essence of beauty, glory, is innocence, and innocence is the one that gives you complete detachment.
So, to such a symbol of innocence, when we bow, we must know what we have done about ourselves. Whatever has been your past, get out of it!
Be just the opposite of what has been so bad before, strongly against all that you were before, in the darkness. That is the sign of your character, and of your strength, and will show to the world that your Spirit, which is enlightened within you, has given you that strength and that new dimension.
So the second oath we have to take before Shri Ganesha is that
"I will be honest to myself. I will not deceive myself for anybody's sake."
Now the third great thing about Shri Ganesha is that for Him no Gods exist except His Mother. And you know all the stories about Shri Ganesha, how He adored His Mother, because He knows His Mother is the Power; and that He is the source of your wisdom, He's the embodiment of wisdom, and the greatest wisdom He has: that it is better to worship the Mother than anybody else, because She is the Power. According to Him, even the Father, if you have to meet, you have to go through the Mother, and secondly Father is just the Witness.
All His security, all His powers, all His beauty, innocence, comes from His Mother. So with the third oath you have to take that,
"For us, our Mother is so powerful, why should we be afraid of anything?
If She is going to give us the wisdom, why should we try to seek it anywhere else?"
I appear very innocent sometimes, but my innocence is complete intelligence, I think, and that is the reason, you see, people take time to accept. But people like Shri Ganesh who are the wisest of all, know the trick.
The another oath we have to take today that,
"We'll respect every Sahaja Yogi from our heart, because they are made in the form of Shri Ganesha. We'll not make fun of them, we'll not laugh at them"
As long as they are in Sahaja Yoga we have to respect. But they can be thrown away, they can get out of it. But unless and until this happens, do not put your ego on other people. Don't think that you understand everything. Don't think that you know everything! Respect each and every person, not for what he has read or what he has learnt, but because he is a great soul.
I feel the whole West suffers from one, one simple disease, that is, they do not know how to respect anyone. Whatever doesn't suit their mind, they will never accept, nor will respect. With their ego they want to judge everyone and condemn everyone.
So, get out of it, and tell yourself, "I don't know anything. I was a stupid fool with my ego." Humble down yourself in your heart, open your heart, and love each other.
Respect and love are the two things you have to promise to Shri Ganesha. If you cannot do that, your ascent is going to be very difficult.
1984-09/02: Shri Ganesha Puja, Honesty and Sincerity, Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn, Switzerland
1985
Sahaja Yogis have no time, they are busy people. They have no time to waste.
 |
| ...you have to say what you have to say, because it has to be said |
we have no time
to quarrel among ourselves!
Fight!- we have to fight very great enemies.
We have no time to waste on our families and our children and our relations and father, mother, sister, brother.
We are on a warpath. Very important, it is.
So let us now prepare ourselves as Christ stood out of that grave, let us get out of this grave of lethargy, of compromising, of comfort, of our past ideas about life's pleasures.
This is the new era that has to show its manifestation in this country. It's very important, and you all can do it! You have to be very brave, you have to be sensible, be wise, kind and also forthright.
But you have to say what you have to say, because it has to be said. And this is the only thing to be said -nothing else is important.
Whatever these people talk about has no meaning. They are not mantras. Some of them are anti-God, some may not be, but they are useless, wasteful, garbages I should say. Why they are given so much importance and not the real thing that is there?
With all My blessings, with all My love, I really command you to do that now.
May God bless you.
Today, on this day you all should vow, vow that
we are on the warpath
and we are going to find out
ways and methods
of doing these things for these three months,
we are going to work it out. Just vow!
Just ask for wisdoms and the spiritual power, that's all. And promise it to Christ that "as You did, we are going to do."
1985-04/08: Easter Puja, London, UK
May 1985
It's nice to praise Me for My love, it's nice to praise Me for whatever has happened but to be very frank, I do not know if you are praising Me.
I do not feel the praise because I am myself, I am not myself.
I see Myself as separate and then I tell myself that, see:
"You are Adi Shakti, all right, but You have spoilt Your children. You have not done full justice to them. They take everything so easy and mundane."
 |
| "See, You are Adi Shakti, all right, but ..." |
With so many saints why should I have any worry of spreading of Sahaja Yoga. Because there are some who drag you down, there are some adamant people, and there are some, still, who are possessed, there are some who are murmuring souls. Just don't pay any attention to them, they'll be all lost, doesn't matter.
We have to create the great day for us to be proud that we belong to this great religion of Truth. There has been no religion so far which is the religion of Truth - it practices something and preaches something and it has nothing to do with the incarnation.
You have to do something that people should say, "We see our Mother in this person."
1985-05/04: You have to be in Nirvikalpa, talk before Sahasrara Puja, Laxenburg, Austria
August 1985
And now things should not be taken for granted.Of course spreading of Sahaja Yoga is important, but ascent is also very important. Let us now take a tapasya, a vow of tapasya, let us do it as a tapasya, as a penance, all of you, whether you are in the ashram or in the house.
Those, who are in the house are also lost. They don't drink, but they sleep. So what's the use?
So now let us all take it up as a tapasya.
 |
| And don't indulge into... |
Just develop your self-awareness. And when I'm out of India, dedicate yourself. When I'm away from you, so-called away, dedicate yourself to spread Sahaja Yoga and to ascend.
Ascend in a way that constructs the whole universe. Construction, construction-power has to start from you. It's a chakra of construction, which has to work out through you.
Anything that I have said should be taken just as an advice to you, for your betterment. Work it out, just listen to it and forget it, it's a medicine. So please listen to it again and again, try to follow it in your own life, in your own life, not in others'.
Mostly others think "Oh, She's talking of somebody else" There's a little hint, which Gavin wanted Me to tell that you should not play about, and they don't do normally, but still he wanted Me to tell you that the money part of it; you shouldn't try to cheat Me, in any way because we have seen some bad results very recently. So be careful on that. He wanted Me to tell you that one has to be careful not to cheat Me. So may God bless you all.
1985-08/06: Talk to Sahaja Yogis, Chelsam Rd, UK
Today you have to take a vow because it's a new year's day, such a great day when we are here to say that
even if we have to give our lives, we give it for Sahaja Yoga,
because one life can save thousands.
Then why not do it? One life has Christ saved so many of us with our Agnya chakra.
Sahaja Yoga no doubt is fun and joy. But it is sharing.
You have to share and you have to get more people to share it. For that you have to have tremendous patience. I have seen some people have a proper understanding of approaching every type of people. That's a very difficult stage and difficult areas are where people work but some can work that way.
But when the Sahaja Yogis in the second stage come and are realized, then there are some who know how to settle them and in the third stage by their own shared example of discipline they discipline them into Sahaja Yoga standards.
Let us face ourselves and ask how many of us are doing any one of these jobs or are we only on the receiving end?
You all must have social events to meet each other and talk to each other but it's to decide also how you are going to expand Sahaja Yoga.
But there are people who can do all these three things together.
I would request each one of you should rise at your own level, rise higher and try to spread Sahaja Yoga in the proper way.
So today the first and the foremost vow is, as I told you, thatwe have to get cleansed up in such a way that we become free of ego and super ego. We should get rid of our ignorance and darkness.
And the second vow as I have said that
you have to become the light to remove the darkness and ignorance of others.
By sharing My problems, by sharing My anxieties about them - those who are lost - and not to be involved into your own personal anxieties and petty things.
My problems should be your problems now because you all belong to Me, to My body, to My being.
And I request you to join hands with Me, with full determination and complete attention and the heart of a lion. That's the emblem of England. So this is what we have to do. You people are so generous in Rome that you have the heart of the lion really. So pour some of it into the hearts that have come from England also. And meet each other with great affection, with great love and with great understanding that you are all the great foundations of a great, very great vision of your Mother.
I hope you will not fail Me, and you will promise in your heart tonight that
we will do the things that I have requested you to do.
May God bless you all.
Grégoire said we should say these vows aloud. I think that's a good idea. Let us see by saying aloud if it works out. It should be said inside.

So today, again a day of great determination, and taking a vow thatfor us our ascent is the only concern, is the only ideal - nothing else;
and it will work out. All the rest will be taken care of. We have all the mechanics to do that. But first give it to the mechanics to work out. All will work in a reflex action.
Clear, clear out your chakras . Don't say, "I have this, I have that." Just clear out.
"How dare I have all these problems? How dare I have all these chakras still troubling me?"
Clear out - morning, evening, clear out.
I'm sure it will work out. Next year, I hope I'll have some good news.

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 that
"I have to be responsible for Sahaja Yoga."

But today we have to take a vow that
I'll now fashion my life according to the will of God, absolutely, and dedicate myself to that.
No family, no other consideration! Just forget it, nothing so important.
Everything can be looked after by will of God. So if you just try to follow the will of God, your children will looked after, everything will be looked after, you don't have to worry for anything and that works. Just try to understand that you have problems because you don't want to give those problems to God, you want to keep it to themselves, that's why you have problems. If you decide that 'No, I just want to give these problems to the God's will.' -Finished!
1992-05/10: The Will of God, Sahasrara Puja, Cabella
July 1992
But as far as this generation is concerned, you should know your responsibility is very great. All the Sahaja Yogis must take a vow that they'll fight this society and try to save their country and their countrymen from a complete disaster.
There is going to be no war, only they will fight themselves and die. It's a very serious matter.
For that, we decided to have this Puja of Durga today thatall negativity should be destroyed.
So many Deities build up the body of Kali. Every part of Her body was created by a Deity, looked after by a Deity, and is also, later on, is reflected in you all. So they say that God has made human beings in His own image, I would say:
I've made you in My own image, all the Deities at your disposal.
They're all with you, and they have created you - if you see it minutely - it is the Deities who have brought forth all the beauty that you had. They have made all this beautiful congregation, beautiful transformation, and they have created such angelic people out of you. They are always working it out, but one thing you have to do is to have the drive.
You had pure desire to ascend, but for what?
You want to have the light, but for what?
You want to become gurus, for what? To save people, for their salvation.
Only through your channels I can work out Sahaja Yoga.
If I could work out Myself, I would have.
It's not question of killing one rakshasa. God knows how many there are, rakshasas and rakshasas! And they are everywhere, even within you they were. Now they've gone out.
So you have to do full justice to Sahaja Yoga, that's very important.
1992-07/25: Shri Mahakali / Durga Puja, Paris, France
Now the celebration of Diwali should be that we carry the light all over the world and enlighten people, as many as we can. None of our private things, none of our own problems are important. So that is what it is, that we have to realize that we have got a certain position which no one has in this world. So once you understand, your own esteem goes up and you see for yourself what you have to do. So then, everybody should today decide and take a oath, that we'll do everything to spread Sahaja Yoga with humility.
1992-10/25: Diwali Puja, Timisoara, Romania
December 1992So on this great occasion, we have to celebrate because really such a great amount of work was done by Christ though neutralized by these horrible priests, which is done in every country, in every religion. But now we should take a vow to
save others who are taking the name of Christ and doing something just the opposite. If it could be done, if it could be achieved through your lives, Christ's work has been done.
You have to now express Christ through your life, this is what it is.
Through your life you can express it; through the purity, through the meekness, through the compassion and the wisdom of Christ. Absolutely fearless was He, and that's why you have to be fearless because you have to be only afraid of God and nobody else, that's all, and if you have done nothing wrong then there's nothing to be afraid of God also because He loves you very much.
So be clear cut about everything, be understanding. You are all lovable people no doubt but you should be such that you can adore yourself and love yourself because of the virtues you have.
1992-12/25: Christmas Puja, Ganipatipule

You have people from all over the countries, so many countries. All the world is represented here. I feel that already we have touched every corner of the world.

| Every corner of the world... |
let Sahaja Yoga become a Mahayoga in its full way.
That everybody in the whole world should recognize that Sahaj Yoga is the only way people can rise in their evolution and a new world can be created.
And this kind of a development, which is a collective development, which is not of outer world but of the inner world, which generate the roots of this creation into a new dimension, into a new personality, because by that time, the roots would have reached the source, source of this Divine love, of this All-pervading Power of this Brahmashakti.
Today I would request you, that you all should take a vow, that
all of you will try to bring more people to Sahaj Yoga and try to save as many as possible t
hrough all your efforts.
That's the only thing if you can give me on My birthday I'll be very much thankful. May God bless you all.

I hope today you all will decide
to work for Sahaja Yoga, to spread Sahaja Yoga and work for yourself also.
The only danger is that one should not allow ego to sit on your heads. That's the only horse. If you could ride yourself and don't allow the horse to ride you, you'll progress very fast, beautifully. Thus, I'm sure Sahaja Yoga will spread.
Every birthday we have to take a vow. I don't know what vow I should take. People have told Me that I should not work so hard,
I'm working very hard, but I have taken a vow that I'll work double hard.
In the same way, you also, all of you, have to take a vow today that
we'll go all out in the commitment of working of Sahaja Yoga.
We'll think about it.
There are scientists who should produce books, there are doctors who should produce books, writings, go around, talk to their colleagues, organize meetings, seminars with your colleagues. There are architects and other professionals who could call their colleagues and give them realization. Even the people who are dealing with finances should take to Sahaja Yoga. Is very important because financial problems can only be solved by the Divine Power. Nobody else can solve it.
So everyone in this world, whether it is Law or any other field, all of you should take to Sahaja Yoga and also to creative work.
Then also, you have to take Sahaja Yoga to your surroundings, to villages, to cities, wherever it is possible, wherever you can organize, you have to spread Sahaja Yoga everywhere.

| «Can't get into tempers and cannot get angry,..» |
I'm very proud of you, but again and again I have to tell you that the work has to be with a faster speed, we have to move with a faster speed and get more people to Sahaja Yoga.
It is rather, rather difficult for Me to say something forcefully, that's not my nature you know. Can't get into tempers and cannot get angry, and I cannot forcefully say something to you, but if you fail, then only thing will be that you have failed Me completely. It means that, nothing less than that,
 |
| In front of the house, in Genova, 2010 |
you will spread Sahaja Yoga and you will talk about Sahaja Yoga; know about Sahaja Yoga.
There are many who don't know anything. Also it's very surprising they are Sahaja yogis, they don't know anything.
And don't create problems for Me, like marriage: we can't live now with the wife, we can't live with the husband. All sorts of nonsensical problems people create for Me in Sahaja Yoga. Are you here to create problems, or to remove problems of people?

December 1988
How are we going to use this power?
This should be our problem now nothing else. How are we going to use this power?
So first is to imbibe love within ourselves because this is a power of love, first and foremost is.
Now, you will be going away today, meet people, here there are many people, Indians also whom you may not be knowing, meet them, you have to bid farewell to all your friends, meet all of them you are going away after one year you may meet, may not meet, so their your relations, they are your own so you can express your love to them and say how nice you felt and all those things, as if you are leaving your own Mother and going away because in you I live.
Then the idea of love should be brought to some sort of a form. How are we going to spread this message of love to people?
On two ways you can work it out.
How individually you can do it and how collectively you can do it.
whatever suggestions come to you, from the people you must accept.
You are just leader there because you have to just communicate with each other. You are not to dominate anybody, you are not to sort of dictate anything to anybody, but you have to be a communication person for Me and them. So now you should see that how these people are giving you new ideas, note them down. Don't think that you are the only one who has ideas, get ideas from them.
They might get ideas from the Cosmos again. They may tell you something, this should be done and should be noted down and recorded, that yes this was said, this was to be done and then try to follow whatever is possible. If you are in doubt you can always telephone to Me and find out. But involve them in this dynamism.

- How far they will spread Sahaja Yoga all over.
- How many people can get into Sahaja Yoga?
There should be many more waiting for you this year, and maybe this year, if you all decide to work it out, I am sure you can get lots of people who will be saved from the curses of Kali Yuga.
This is going to be your vow on the New Year day, that
now we are going to start Sahaja Yoga in a new way, in a bigger way, in a more dynamic way.
This collectivity has to be extremely well built-in, well made, well understood and absolutely loveable. 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?
 |
| From : "Doctor Strangelove" by Stanley Kubrick |
Otherwise you'll be fighting with yourself.
It would be very, very stupid to do that. So all the fights and all the funny things that you have been thinking about will of course disappear, no doubt.
But you'll become very dynamic. You'll be amazed at your dynamism. Just you have to rise; just you have to expect your Self to manifest. You can become very, very collective, progressive and you can create many Sahaja Yogis.
You have been given Realization; you have been given the knowledge of Realization; whatever was possible has been done for your health and prosperity, but now it's your duty to repay to the Divine by your creative methods.
You will find so many people in this world are full of lots of problems, which you have got out of it. But you can help them. You don't need any help because you are yourself full of power - power of Divinity within you.
This Divine power should be used. It's not given just to be rusted. This power has to be used. Otherwise what's the use of becoming powerful?
Supposing we have electrical power here, and it doesn't even give light, so what's the use of having electrical power? So the power that you have is for the emancipation of human beings. It is for you to raise the Kundalini of people - you can do it. One person can do it for thousands! And I hope now you take up this responsibility upon yourself. This would be the greatest blessing for you, for Sahaja Yoga and for the whole world. Because in My vision, we have to change the whole world.

But if you people really join hands with me, with full effort, it will work out.
Firstly I hear many people don't go to meditation, into collective meditation. They do not join together.
It's surprising after so many years of work I've done - 30 years I've been working, and there are some people who take Sahaja Yoga for granted.
You don't understand your responsibility. You have to meditate collectively. Whenever there is collective meditation you must join that. You can also start something in your areas, a collective meditation. And it will work out. Many people who are in Sahaja Yoga are now meditating, I can make them out. I know who are the ones who are meditating and who are not. It's not difficult to make it out.
And then you come out with other problems like my mother's, father's, uncle's - this thing.

With love you can. With love you can manage, and you can do a lot.
So I would request all of you today to take a vow that
"We'll have no more chances for our egos. We'll give it up. We'll give up our ego."
Because there's no sense - that's an obstruction between us.
When the Sahasrara wants to work it cannot because of ego obstruction, so better not have ego of anything.
You may be a good singer, you may be anything in life, may be some big man or anything what is so-called - has no meaning. What we need today are people who are egoless and who have powers completely flowing in them. With the opening of Sahasrara all these powers should flow. If the Sahasrara is fully opened, all these powers of love should flow. You'll be amazed; I mean, wherever I go people just fall in love with Me. I don't know why, I don't do anything to them, but just they feel My love. That's what it should be, that people should feel your love and they should know that you are a lovable person. This is the thing you are made as special people, very special for this whole world's emancipation.
That's your job, and not otherwise just collecting money and doing all kinds of nonsensical things. You are for here very, very sensible job which is to raise the kundalini of people and make them aware of their greatness.
Human beings are not created only to war and fight, not created here to play politics and do all dirty tricks.
Here, they are not made here to lead a life which is very, I would say, filthy and dirty, but in this world we are here to do such a great job of God who has created us.

keyword: FAIL.
This is a 1997 talk about AdiShakti, curiously it is called "respect the Mother Earth", because such is the topic of the first half. But, if you try the keyword "fail", then three discoveries just reveal themselves, later in the second half.
1...how far you understand your importance is a different point.
You do for your emancipation, all right, you meditate. But if you are not channelizing the love, the Divine love, what is the use?
 |
| "... the whole thing will fail for ever" |
They have to feel this Divine love, this power of Adi Shakti. They have to know it, otherwise you have been selfish, I would say, that you had a nice time having all this and you have not given it to others.
This is the reason why Sahaja Yoga sometimes fails to create a proper balanced personality in a human being.
2
Try and find out where you can go and talk about it and do something good to others and help them somehow to rise above this common existence of misery, unhappiness and destruction. The time is very short and I think if you see the time, the rate at which we are moving is not proper. We have to be much faster, we have to go much ahead and we have to create much more Sahaja yogis through our consistent, very intensive effort. But we, "It's a side issue, it's by the way, Sahaja Yoga is by the way" and this is where we are failing in our responsibility. We have to learn from the Mother Earth.
 |
| "...become sensitive to the need of the World..." |
Today, if you fail, the whole thing will fail forever. Only very few will be there. So the need for you is to spread Sahaja Yoga, because this love is not only for you. Is not to be enjoyed by you, but is to be enjoyed by as many possible in the whole world.
 |
| "...failed me...." |
Did they raise anybody's kundalini? Did they have any power? Even the disciples of Christ or even Mohammed Sahib's disciples, anyone - did they do it? Did they have any understanding of kundalini? Did they have any love for others, that they should give them realization? There were some Sufis, they never gave realization to anyone. There were so many saints who never gave realization to anybody. Mohammed Sahib never gave realization to anybody. Gautama Buddha never gave realization to anybody, think of it! Christ never gave realization to anybody- anybody! Krishna did not do it, Rama did not.
Nobody but you can do it. You can do it and you know everything about kundalini. It's a very big thing because you are children of the Adi Shakti. You are here and your Mother is here. It's a very, very fortunate thing for Me that you are here. I'm very proud of you, but again and again I have to tell you that the work has to be with a faster speed, we have to move with a faster speed and get more people to Sahaja Yoga.
It is rather, rather difficult for Me to say something forcefully, that's not My nature you know. Can't get into tempers and cannot get angry, and I cannot forcefully say something to you.
But if you fail, then only thing will be that you have failed Me completely. It means that, nothing less than that.
 |
| "...Go to the churches and tell..." |
And don't create problems for Me! -like marriage: "we can't live now with the wife, we can't live with the husband". All sorts of nonsensical problems people create for Me in Sahaja Yoga.
Are you here to create problems, or to remove problems of people?
(AdiShakti, Cabella, 25 May 1997)
--------------------------------------------------
"Why is it so complicated? What do you want?"
 |
| "very illusive..." |
......But it doesn’t happen. It doesn’t happen because this incarnation of Mataji Nirmala Devi is very different, very illusive, Mahamaya. So you are left to yourself, do what you like. Whatever you like, you can do it.
So they will ask Me, “Mother, we have a problem.” -I said, “What?” - “We don’t know which kind of chairs we should buy.”
For every small thing they will refer to Mother but for important things, never! Sort of a funny use of the whole thing has started which is so great, so important is used for something absolutely nonsensical.
So, see the difference between the incarnations. One incarnation (=Shri Durga) comes on this earth to save the people, to bring them out of the mire of maya. But another incarnation (=Shri Mataji) which has come, is not only just to talk about it, but to give you your realization -and then to look after your small, small things!
...Between the bhaktas of those days and the bhaktas of today, there's a very big difference. ...... So now from one nonsense to another nonsense. This incarnation has such variety of jobs to be done! I mean, even the sixty-four kalas, the sixty-four expertise of Shri Ganesh is not sufficient to solve this!
Why is it so complicated?
But why is it that such a complicated nonsense is all the time bothering you? What do you want now?
We should ask: what do you want? "-I want a child.”." After Sahaja Yoga, you should not want anything. Why do you want to have a child? There are so many children. You can look after them. "I want" goes away, should go away from your mind that "I want this and I want that"” This wanting is over now, what you wanted is your Self-realization.
 |
| "I want that you should become " |
That doesn’t mean that you should become like Hare-Rama-Hare-Krishna no, no, no, no! They are not detached. They are very much attached people.
But detachment is a state where nothing can bind you, nothing is important, most important thing is your spiritual ascent. Nothing can attract you more than this process. This is what exactly is wanted today, that Sahaja yogis should understand. Compared to, compared to Sahaja yogis, what people have gone through! When I read it, I feel terrible!
 |
| "What is the use of... |
... Now, we come to a point where we have to understand: what do we want? What's the use of killing Shumbha Nishumbhas? What's the use of killing this Catholic Church? What's the use?
Because you are static. You are glued in one place, no progress!
So what's the use of doing all these things all the time and destroying all that negativity. What is the purpose? It's too arbitrary. Everybody says, “Mother, you have given them permission. You have given them license. So now they are doing the way they are.” The other day, one girl came to Me. Her child was very sick. I asked her, “Do you meditate? She kept quiet. I said that "“I can make out that you don’t meditate because I know what it is – that you don’t even meditate.”
Now the judgment is going on all the time.
When I am talking to you, it's all the judgment is going on. So every night you have to meditate. And you have to then think about what have you done tonight, today, in the whole day what have you achieved. But so calculating they are! Supposing I go there at five o’clock, then I have to be back at seven, otherwise I will miss the point, I’ll not see this person, that person. So, everything works like that with the time, with the importance of nonsensical things.
But what has to work is your faith that "I’m (=the sahaja yogi) going to do things which are truthful, which are sensible, down to earth and I’m going to keep myself absolutely, extremely free (=from attchments) and I’m going to look after not only my inner being but the inner beings of others!"

| "...What do you want?..." |
 |
| the fifth dimension... |
in just 2 steps!
So now you have got the attention or the body, the whole body of the atom, then, the nucleus, and inside the nucleus is the Spirit. In the same way - we have this body, the attention of the body, and then we have the nucleus - is the brain, and the Spirit is in the heart. So the brain is controlled through the Spirit. How?That around the heart there are seven auras which can be multiplied into any number, seven raised to power sixteen thousand, which are the ones which watch the seven chakras, raised to power sixteen thousand . Now, this Spirit is watching through this aura. Watching, I am again saying "watching" through this aura. This aura is watching the behavior of your seven centers in your brain. Is also watching all the nerves that are working in the brain - "watching", again.
But when you bring the Spirit into your brain, then you go two steps ahead, because when your Kundalini rises, She touches the Sadashiva and Sadashiva informs the Spirit. Informs in the sense - reflects in the Spirit.
So that's the first state where the watching auras start communicating through your different chakras in the brain and integrating it.
 |
| ...reflects... |
First when your become realized, collectively conscious, and start raising the Kundalini, you are in, you cross the fourth dimension.
But when your Spirit comes into your brain, then you become the fifth dimension - means, you become the doer. Our brain, now, for example says, "All right, lift this thing up." (= the microphone) So you touch it with your hand, you lift it up. You are the doer. But when the brain becomes the Spirit, the Spirit is the doer, and when Spirit is the doer, then you become a complete Shiva - self-realized.
 |
| "when it touches the spirit |
If you possess anything, you are not attached. You cannot attach, because Spirit is detachment, complete detachment. You don't bother about any attachments whatsoever. Even for a second, you are not attached.
Now I would say, to understand the detachment of Spirit, we should study ourselves very well, clearly. How are we attached?
- We are attached, firstly, by our brain, mostly by our brain, because all our conditionings are in our brain and all our ego is also in our brain. So all emotional attachments are through our brain and all our egoistical attachments also are through our brain. That's why it is said that after Realization one must try to practice the Shiva Tattwa by practicing detachment.
Because we get attached to something, of course through our brain, but through our attention. So we try to do what we call chitta nirodh, is to control your attention. Where is it going? In the practice of Sahaja Yoga, if you have to rise higher you have to improve your own instrument and not the instrument of others. This is one thing one should know, for definite. Now, you just watch your attention. Where is it going. Watch yourself. As soon as you'll start watching yourself, your attention, you'll become more identified with your Spirit. Because if you have to watch your attention, you will have to be your Spirit, otherwise how will you watch it?
So now see where is your attention going. First, the attachment is, in all gross ways, to your body...1984-0229: Shivaratri Puja, Pandharpur, India

"...unless and until you become your ideals, you are not a Sahaja Yogi"
Let your Spirit shine in such a way that people know this is a man who is completely integrated: the Spirit, the talk, the behavior, the life itself is completely integrated and this is what is Sahasrara. So if there is no integration you have not achieved your Sahasrara. There will be no need to pull your ears.
 |
| Birthday, 2010 |
If you become the ideals, the power of ideals itself, will make you so dynamic that you don't need to consult anybody, you become the ideal. They are like torches. Your ideals itself will be enlightened. So the first attitude should be: "How do we deepen ourselves?" That should be first attitude. ...
 |
| "People should feel your power" |
-Try to see all the chakras. What chakras are catching, face it yourself. These might be from your past life. Some chakras are weak. Try to make them all right, try to strengthen them. Because ideals have to be worked out the instrument has to be all right. If the instrument is a crazy one how will you do? ... People should feel your power. Of course the power is of love, but love doesn't mean that you compromise with all the nonsensical things. ...
... ...Once you understand that unless and until you become your ideals you are not a Sahaja Yogi.
Everybody can call themselves Sahaja Yogis, there's no inauguration, we don't have any sort of an - inauguration of a university, where people can come and get their degrees and diplomas: "All right you are certified twice born." There are some who are several times twice born. They are twice born today, tomorrow they are not, then again they come twice born and again twice born. Some of them can be one hundred and eight times twice born in Sahaja Yoga. And even then they are not certified. So you have to give yourself a certificate. There's no university to do that.
 |
| "...they are not certified... |
DO WE HAVE THE POWER OF MANTRAS?
Everybody's improving but it's rather slow. It can be very fast if you meditate, that's very important. You have to know how to make your chakras all right. Your mantras are to be siddhis. Mantras are to be such that they should not be mechanical, just saying something mechanically. You should say it from your heart. Again, if you do not say mantras through your heart, mantra is not siddha - means you may go on saying hundred times, it will have no effect.  |
| "..within and without... certify yourself..." |
But if you want to really have the joy and the bliss of the grace of Heavenly Father, then come out of it. Many misidentifications that are there have to be given up to enjoy that beauty.

| "Only through your channels I can work out Sahaja Yoga. If I could work out Myself, I would have."
A S U M M A R Y
...If I could work out Myself, I would have.
...I don't know in My lifetime if I can achieve it or not. vow that we are on the war path and we are going to find out ways and methods of doing this thing All of you have to speak. Then only your left Vishuddhi will be all right. Now the only guilt that will be working in the Sahaja Yogis will be that for Sahaja Yoga we are not doing anything. You must speak. You must talk about it. You must give realization. Move your hands, move your legs. You have to walk across for God's work, so even if you have to beg you have to do that. This is God's work. All of us have to do that, God's work, with all dedication, with all surrendering and with all love and enjoyment. --- vow within ourselves that the selfishness or the self-centeredness of the smallest in you is finished. Now the drop has to become the ocean. Try to think of ways and methods of doing it. --- one has to determine how far you are a guru, first point. You have to take a pledge that you will establish your Guru Principle, second point. Thirdly, you have to pledge that you will establish Guru Principles in others. Fourthly, you have to know that there is a little snag, that your Guru is a Mother. She's too kind to be a guru, too mild to be a guru, and extremely tolerant --- that we all will surrender our horrible tempers, dominating natures, asserting behaviors, ego-oriented, harshness, domination. ---- With that concern you have to try. And that is what you lack is the genuineness within ourselves, our heart if not open. Open your heart. ---- to vow that: 'I will establish my Ganesha.' ---- vow that we are going to behave in a manner which beholds our advent not for others, our advent at this time which is being described and prophesized.... ---- an oath that, "Whatever is the past of my country, I will get opposite to that." second oath we have to take before Shri Ganesha is that, "I will be honest to myself. I will not deceive myself for anybody's sake." third oath you have to take that, "For us, our Mother is so powerful, why should we be afraid of anything? If She is going to give us the wisdom, why should we try to seek it anywhere else?" another oath we have to take today that, We'll respect every Sahaja Yogi from our heart, because they are made in the form of Shri Ganesha. We'll not make fun of them, we'll not laugh at them',' as long as they are in Sahaja Yoga we have to respect. ------- vow that we are on the warpath and we are going to find out ways and methods of doing these things for these three months, we are going to work it out. Just vow! Just ask for wisdoms and the spiritual power, that's all. And promise it to Christ that "as You did, we are going to do." ---- You have to do something that people should say, "We see our Mother in this person." --- Let us now take a tapasya, a vow of tapasya, let us do it as a tapasya, as a penance, all of you, whether you are in the ashram or in the house.Those who are in the house are also lost. They don't drink-but they sleep! So what's the use? So now let us all take it up as a tapasya. And don't indulge into internal, nonsensical politics! ...he wanted Me to tell you that the money part of it; you shouldn't try to cheat Me, in any way because we have seen some bad results very recently. So be careful on that. --- Today you have to take a vow because it's a new year's day, such a great day when we are here to say that even if we have to give our lives we give it for Sahaja Yoga because one life can save thousands. first and the foremost vow is, as I told you, that we have to get cleansed up in such a way that we become free of ego and super ego. We should get rid of our ignorance and darkness. And the second vow as I have said that you have to become the light to remove the darkness and ignorance of others. ---- vow that for us our ascent is the only concern, is the only ideal - nothing else; and it will work out. ...Clear, clear out your chakras . --- vow that "I have to be responsible for Sahaja Yoga." --- vow that -I'll now fashion my life according to the will of God, absolutely, and dedicate myself to that. --- You want to become gurus, for what? To save people, for their salvation! Only through your channels I can work out Sahaja Yoga. If I could work out Myself, I would have. --- take a oath, that we'll do everything to spread Sahaja Yoga with humility. --- vow to save others who are taking the name of Christ and doing something just the opposite. If it could be done, if it could be achieved through your lives, Christ's work has been done. --- vow, that all of you will try to bring more people to Sahaj Yoga and try to save as many as possible through all your efforts. That's the only thing if you can give me on My birthday I --- I hope today you all will decide to work for Sahaja Yoga, to spread Sahaja Yoga and work for yourself also. The only danger is that one should not allow ego to sit on your heads. --- vow today that you will spread Sahaja Yoga and you will talk about Sahaja Yoga; know about Sahaja Yoga. And don't create problems for Me, --- one suggestion to the leaders that whatever suggestions come to you, from the people you must accept. You are just leader there because you have to just communicate with each other. You are not to dominate anybody, you are not to sort of dictate anything to anybody, but you have to be a communication person for Me and them. So now you should see that how these people are giving you new ideas, note them down. Don't think that you are the only one who has ideas, get ideas from them. --- your vow on the New Year day, that now we are going to start Sahaja Yoga in a new way, in a bigger way, in a more dynamic way. 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 loveable. This is not difficult in Sahaja Yoga, --- vow that "We'll have no more chances for our egos. We'll give it up. We'll give up our ego." Because there's no sense - that's an obstruction between us. When the Sahasrara wants to work it cannot because of ego obstruction, so better not have ego of anything. |
