Navaratri 3: Shraddha + Bhakti= Protection

Shraddha, faith.

Unless and until you develop that bhakti and shraddha within you, you cannot rise. You cannot rise above your problems, you cannot rise about your personality; because bhakti is something you cannot impose on anyone, you cannot force on anybody. 
Ah, you can make somebody mad and say that he can do bhakti - he cannot. You have to have all your qualities absolutely intact. You should be intelligent, you should be understanding, everything should be there.

Shri Ganesha worshipping ShivaLingam

But at that time this, the joy of bhakti is within you. And this joy of bhakti when it starts flowing, Goddess Herself enters into your being,
I should say, I have seen people, bhaktas, many great saints in India who achieved a lot of heights. They have gone too far into it, and if you read about them and if you understand them you are amazed how without any help, without any guidance, how could they go that deep and worship Devi?
Worshipping is not just out of sheer reading or some sort of a chanting or anything, but it's the deep attention of your heart, I think it's Spirit.
If the Spirit is awakened within you, you develop the bhakti and drop out all nonsensical ideas, all different things that have crawled into your head, but you just develop the bhakti.
.../...
Now we have through Kundalini awakening reached a very great height, I must say, of understanding of bhakti, the power of bhakti.
The greatest power of bhakti is that it protects you. It protects you. Those people who are suffering from any kind of trouble, any kind of problems, just get out of it because this bhakti of yours gives you the right type of understanding, the understanding of yourself. Also the understanding of surroundings, understanding of the whole universe, I should say.
Why people behave like this, why they are like this: all this can be solved through your bhakti. It should not be blind; it should not be blind but it should be wise bhakti, wise, with wisdom. Only possible through Sahaja Yoga, I think...
.../... But you are very few who have understood what is bhakti and what is shraddha.

In Ghent, Belgium.

So I would say the Goddess gives you bhakti and shraddha - by what? She gives you through your meditation, that you see so many miracles happening in your life and you are amazed how this has happened: "We never expected this to happen. How it has happened? How it has worked out?"

South Italy: Madonna with a stick !

Also She corrects you. 
All the time you, if you are aware, She corrects you and tells you:
"Don't go this way. You are going on the ego side", or She'll tell you, "You are going on the left side." She is the One who corrects throughout.
We get into diseases and all kinds of, we are trapped into all kinds of things; it is because, because we don't have bhakti.
In the bhakti you have to depend on the wisdom of the Mother, wisdom of the Shakti, that She looks after you, She finds you out the way, and She will help you. 
If you start becoming on your own and thinking that "I am all right, I can do this, I can do that," you'll find inevitably that you are wrong, that you had a very wrong idea about yourself and about the Divine.

Bogota, 1994

So, 
what is the most important point, is surrendering. 
The word "Islam" means surrender, but Mohammed Sahib has described what you should have before surrender, is your Realization.
But you have seen even after Realization people take time to settle down. 
But once you are settled down you understand that you are under a protection of the Goddess, that you see every day how it works and how it helps you. Many people who are in Sahaja Yoga, so-called, have great respect for Me but are not fully there. Then they suffer and they have problems, and then they ask Me, "Mother, how is it I have got this problem?" 

 I don't tell them, because you can't tell anything to human beings, you see, they're very aggressive.
But the fact is because, because you are not one with the Divine. And with the Divine if you are one, you'll have nothing but compassion and love, nothing else, and everything you will do so smoothly, so nicely.

Ganesha and ShivaLingam

People may not understand, like they crucified Christ, they did all kinds of things, agreed! but now you should ask for the protection of the Goddess, because that is the greatest quality of the Goddess, that She protects you from all problems, from all troubles, from all kinds of nonsensical, I should say, things that can happen to you. And there's so many things that happen.
I'll tell you, I was told that one of the leaders, a Sahaja Yogi, was killed. I said, "Not possible!" And the fellow was in Rome; he was not killed. So it's not possible that a young man should be killed like that. Of course if somebody is old you have to die; but that he was killed was not a right thing.

So it is the protection, not only physical, mental, emotional, but spiritual protection comes to you; spiritual protection, in that what you do is that you don't do wrong things, you don't kill anybody, you don't torture anybody, you are not rude to anybody. That is the situation into which you all can enter, because you are Sahaja Yogis. You can achieve it, you have a power to do it, because you have so much shraddha and so much understanding that you have reached a certain state of protection, of growth, of wisdom.

Now first test your wisdom, you must test your wisdom:
"If I am doing this, is this wise? Is it good?
Why I'm doing it?"
First test your wisdom. Then you'll find out that many things you do which are wrong, which should not have been done. But first your wisdom must develop, and you must see that your wisdom works and helps you.
.../.... But if you have the wisdom, then you will immediately know that this is wrong. Apart from that you will be saved from all kinds of problems. It's a fact, I have seen with so many people like that who have been saved, not only from death, but from all kinds of catastrophes, all kinds; and I was amazed how these Sahaja Yogis are helped by the Divine.

 The Bird of Athena can see  through the Night

Divine is a power, everywhere it exists, 
but it will only help the people who are Sahaja Yogis, who are divine,
not the people who are not; it will never help them. 
On the contrary it might punish in a way that is never expected.

Introspect!

So one has to be careful to test oneself, what I call introspection.
Have you been wise in dealing with certain problems?
What has been your style? Is it money-oriented, or it is domination-oriented?
What sort of a power it was that you were working under?
You have to introspect to find out. And you'll be amazed, very much amazed that even in the name of God you can do wrong things.

 .../... First, overpower yourself!
You have to know yourself first of all. What's the use of overpowering others? Those who do not know how to overpower themselves are always miserable, always in trouble, because it reacts. 
If you try to overpower others, it reacts.
For that you have to be absolutely introspecting, again and again I have been saying this,
that:  introspect!

(2002-Oct-27: Navaratri Puja, Lake Piru, CA, USA)

Navaratri 2 : COURAGE, NOT FEAR !

I'll tell you a story about somebody in America.
He is a very old Sahaja Yogi, Indian.
He came out of his shop, where he was working, and got into his car - there was one man sitting with a dagger. And he hit him with the dagger on the center Heart. And this fellow started bleeding. He said, " I don't know what happened to me, Mother. I got such strength, I caught hold of him and I started fighting with him, and I took the dagger from him. He had the handle and the dagger came into my hand.
And the fellow ran away. But still I was not worried about my bleeding.
What I did - I called my colleague who was coming out of the car, I ran after him and he took me in his car for half-an-hour searching that fellow."
They didn't go to the police, and then, they went to the police.
The police was surprised - the whole shirt was full of blood. He said, "Nobody would believe." Even the police was shocked. "For half an hour you were searching this fellow. Why didn't you come to the police?" He said, "It would have taken half-an-hour for you to come, so we thought, better do it ourselves." See the courage!
Then, of course, he was taken to the hospital, and he was all right. Just they stitched him up. But he is all right. That is the sign of a person who can never get any one of these horrible diseases, because there is no fear in his mind, of any kind. And, he is an Indian, he said: "I have never even slapped my own children. I have never fought with anyone. I am not a wrestler by any chance, nothing of the kind. But it happened." He says, " I don't know how, from where I got this shakti; and how I did it, I just don't know."

"  they were never afraid of attacking someone"

There are many stories like this they can tell you about Sahaja Yogis, and about so many saints, how they were never afraid of attacking someone when somebody attacks them, or of protecting themselves from all kinds of horrible things with their courage.
This is something one cannot believe sometimes, but it is happening, every day, I get letters from people how they have been courageous.

Imam Hussein at Kerbala.

If you believe in the Goddess, then know that She is extremely powerful; She is very intelligent; and if She has to protect you, She will protect you out and out, in such a way that you will not know how you have been protected. 

But this faith has to be developed.

Faith has to be developed by experience also, how you have been protected always; how you have been helped always; how you came out of so many crises.
But despite that if you get upset, worried, if some clouds appear in the sky of your life, then if you get upset, that means you are still weak.
So first thing, if you are really worshipping the Goddess, then you should have no worry at all of any kind, and you should have no fear at all. Go ahead, fearlessly.
Whatever you are doing, do it fearlessly.
But at the same time I have to tell you the other side, that one should not go about like a zombie, it doesn't mean that; saying all kinds of nonsensical things of the right side.

But if you have to do something, do it with clear-cut ideas, and also without any fear.

THE GODDESS OF CONFUSION: your discriminating power is challenged.

So, one can get possessed by any such idea. See, like Hitler: he got the idea that he is the monarch of everything and he has every right to destroy the Jews. And he was destroying, he destroyed so many people.
But what happened at the end?- he was using swastika which was the symbol of Shri Ganesh, and with that he was fighting. But luckily it so happened that the Mother entered into his mind. 
By that he lost: bhraanti, illusions, he lost the power of Ganesha, how to use it. And he was using stencil, and because of the stencil the second, I should say, printing of swastika was the other way round, which was for destruction. So he printed the other kind of swastika. As a result he got destroyed.

So this is the bhraanti part, that She enters into your mind and puts you into a bhraanti, means into an illusion. You commit mistakes.
If it had not happened so many people would have been finished by now. So She enters into the mind of such people who are trying to destroy human beings, who are trying to destroy anything, and puts ideas in such a manner that they die or they get self-destruction.
That's why it is written that She is a bhraanti within us. She creates such an illusion within us that, that a person who tries to be harmful, to be troublesome, to be destructive gets destroyed.
All kinds of things She can put, and that's how so many people have survived in this world. Otherwise so many would have been finished, and there would have been the kingdom of the Satan. But it's this Goddess is the one who saves us.
Symbolically they have said that She has killed so many demons. Actually She has, it's not that She has killed them in a symbolic way. There were demons and demons: Even today we have demonic people, and all of them will not only be killed but will be finished forever. .../...

Now supposing there is a person who is very demonic, who is going to destroy everyone. Then, the people who are wise will understand, but those who are not will take to her and get destroyed within. Like this thousands of people have been destroyed, because they didn't see the right point, they couldn't understand what is right, what is wrong.
So this idea of right and wrong also is completely confused by Her, so that those who are wrong type can be destroyed.
We don't want them on this earth: those who are troublesome, who are destructive, who are argumentative will be all destroyed. But by themselves only they'll destroy, so it's not necessary for the Goddess to do that.
So this is the one which many people ask Me, "Why it is said that 'bhraanti rupena samsthita'? Why does She exist as an illusion?"
This is the reason, that your discriminating power is challenged.
But if you are a Sahaja yogi, real Sahaja yogi, then you can feel on your fingertips if the person whom you are following is a good man or a bad man. And then you can tell others also that "don't!"
So many seekers are destroyed like that. Wrong type of gurus came and they just followed them. Stupid they were, absolutely stupid gurus, and these were stupid people. I don't know why they followed them. It was so obvious that they were just after some sort of a Rolls Royce or something. And I have seen them so mad that they can't get out of it.
.../...  Now the time has come for all of us to understand that you are all Sahaja yogis, and you have a very big responsibility - very, very big responsibility that you should do what your enlightened conscience tells you. Take to your enlightenment and live under that light, and don't jump in the darkness.
And by that you will also understand who is the right person, who is not the right person.

It's a - even in Sahaja Yoga this negativity can work. It works; and one should not get involved into any negative thoughts of others or negative doing of others. 
I's a warning today I wanted to give you all, because you people are very much there to enjoy.

Look after your attention - where does it go? There're so many beautiful things: see the flowers so beautiful, see this thing they have made so beautiful, it makes My heart jump with joy; while some people don't even notice.
The other day I asked somebody who had made that flower arrangement. "Which flower?"
I said, "The one that was there."
"-Which one?"
So I told the names of the flowers: "We never saw!"
Where were you looking but that you couldn't see the flowers?  - Because your eyes are so stupid that they cannot see the beauty. They are engulfed with all kinds of negative things.

"If you are... a real Sahaja Yogi... then you can feel..."

" you must know that as I depend on you, you also depend on Me"

In Genova, 2010

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. 

Amarnath Ice Lingam

 Now, see the left nabhi is just now, I‘m catching very hard. You have to take out My Vibrations. If you do not [suck] my Vibrations, I’m not going to exist any more as a human being walking, you see? 
As something else maybe, but not as a human being as you see. I'll be just frozen. 
If you do that to Me, imagine, how (much) I should owe to you? 
I mean, My existence is because of you. Perhaps you don’t know, do you know? That I am here on this Earth only because of you, otherwise I would have been very nicely somewhere else!
But then also you must know that as I depend on you, you also depend on Me!

But more I depend on your collectivity.
The moment you start becoming unaware of your collectivity, immediately cancer starts going in My body. I get physical troubles because of that. So the collectivity is not what you think of yourself, to be something great. It's not that you are above everything and you are this and you are that. 

Guru Puja 2008.

How much you have done to enhance the collectivity of understanding, of love?
Because say if My- this- hand doesn't know this hand, now what do I do? If we are a living body, just think of it. I mean, if I do not know my one eye to another eye, if there's no connection, what will happen to it? 
And when you do all this, it becomes a funny personality out of Me, you see. I don't know how to manage Myself.
So to sustain this interdependence you must learn to depend on each other. Now coming to the practical side of it I've already told you to think all the time of another person in a loving manner, not in a criticizing manner, not seeing to the loopholes of a person.

"Otherwise, ..."

SHRI MATAJI: "...If..."

And then, if there are sufficient number of Sahaja Yogis, then you don’t need a third world war.
Otherwise, there could be a third world war.
And after that third world war,

 people will gather together.
Even if you have that, then only the Sahaja Yogis will be respected and will be called to have a conference instead of these horrible politicians. It’s quite a lot, but Gavin is going to prepare that and is going to send to all of you. Are you getting Nirmala Yoga here?

 (1982, 25 April, Appartment of Ruth, Rome)

We are part and parcel of the whole. 
Microcosm is a part of the macrocosm. 

You have to become - that doesn't mean with brains - but you have to become on your central nervous system a part and parcel of the whole. Without that there is no salvation for human beings at all because all these theories are taking you towards destruction. 
What you will be giving to your children is a much worse world than what you found it. It's nice to say, "Today is such a great day of reconciliation." [celebration of 05-08, end of WW2] 

But I wonder:
unless and until we know the Spirit, I cannot guarantee, 
or I cannot say with guarantee,
that we'll not have the Third World War of complete destruction.
No use carrying banners of peace, stopping the atomic invasion, all that is of no avail whatsoever. 
We will not be destroyed by atomic bombs, we'll be destroyed by ourselves. 

"... by ourselves..."

That is why it is abso-lutely impor-tant at this time to know our-selves. We cannot be indif-ferent to this im-portant point. 
Spe-cially I request you because you are seekers of truth, and you are the ones who can save the world. 
It is such a responsibility on you people that you have to know what is your Spirit and what is the Spirit of others, how you have to enlighten others.

Ganesha Puja: NOT only for AUSTRALIANS

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

Is it hot outside? - Shut up!

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

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

Are we going to follow them?

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

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

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

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

How does a Yogi get his Certificate?

  YOGESHWARA puja 1981, MOST IMPORTANT TOPICS
(This video was aired on 2012 puja in Cabella without any practical consequences)

1) WE ARE GIVEN POWERS
Of course you get powers. As soon as you become the spirit you get powers. One of the powers you get is of collective consciousness - that is also the gift of Shri Krishna - and that you start feeling the collectivity. Your ego and superego is sucked in, so you get rid of your karmas and your conditionings and a new sprouting of the new life of the new age starts.
2) BUT WE ARE JUGDED ON OUR INNOCENCE
So one has to understand that first, as Sahaja Yogis, we get the powers much before we have passed, really, the test of Sahaja Yogis.
So this is the thing of Sahaja Yoga, that you can become a Sahaja Yogi, even without having the real certificate. It's definitely so. 

And the certificate is given, as you know, by Lord Jesus Christ.

He doesn't give certificate easily. That way He is very, very strict. He is not going to give you. He is extremely strict as far as the Sahaja Yogis are concerned, He is  not going to give you certificates, He's going to judge you. 
And what is His basic nature, is He's innocence. He is going to judge you 
on your innocence. 
If you are a superego you can say: Oh I got possessed by a bhoot, you see, and the bhoot did this. So He will say: "Alright you go to the bhoot for the certificate not to me."

Krishna has given you all the powers, though they will be really known to you, when only Lord Jesus Christ accepts you as Sahaja Yogis. That's important because you have to be innocent. Purity must be brought in.
When you call Him, He comes with all His powers to support you. But you have to be a yogi.
If you are not a yogi, which is of course certified by Lord Jesus Christ, then Krishna has nothing to do with you.
So before the entry to Shri Krishna, though He is not the one who is going to judge your innocence, in the door resides Lord Jesus Christ.
So unless and until you pass your Agnya Chakra properly, you can't get to Virat. 
 And Yogeshwara is the Virat. That is the aspect we have to worship, we have to worship!
3)... VIRAT, or COLLECTIVITY
Because you have become now the collective being, now you have become one with Him, now He looks after your dharmas, He looks after your relationships, He cleanses them, He purifies them, so you just surrender yourself to Him fully.
 
He said it to Shri Arjuna only not to everyone. He didn't say to everyone they didn't deserve it, or He didn't think it proper to say to them. 
But I think you are proper people to know this so I'm telling you that: forget every other duty to every other thing but do your duty to your collective being, to your collectivity.

Guru 2008

4) MOTHER CAN GIVE POWERS...
You may become very powerful, maybe for the time being. Because I play with you, 
you get ideas that you are very powerful and all that. 
But that's not true. 
As my name is Nirmala, as my name is purity - you have to be pure yogis. Nobody says you should not marry.

Homer Simpson

Nobody says you should not have proper sex relationships with you wives, that's not done. But that's one thing people may avoid and spoil it.
5) "NEXT DAY" 
Anybody walks about as Sahaja Yogi, next day I find him coming out with something else. 
They are certified Sahaja Yogis, I have seen. They become afterwards certified something else. 
God knows how!

So this is the thing of Sahaja Yoga that 
you can become a Sahaja Yogi
even without having the real certificate.




Swayamblogger comments:
Considering the evolution of our sangha (Local, national, international) since 2012, What should we think about our "powers"?
But, as 'thinking' is not allowed, true transparency and effective accountabillity are prohibited, no collective introspection will be started...and this question will have no answer. Unless...«the certificate is given, as you know, by Lord Jesus Christ...»

Can Vibrations cheat?

...Our Vibrations can mislead us...: Mental you can use..

"If you can..."

.." And the whole of that ashram, just imagine, would have been lost...I told them:
"Now, see her vibrations!" They said,
"Mother, we don't find anything wrong with her."

  
...when the nuisance becomes a collective thing

"" If it is untruth – I am very innocent, you know, I’m very simple-minded, I just don't understand things at all, you see,  I don't know the crookery of man, how he goes round and tells lies and this. But on vibrations I know what it is like – absolutely. You may tell Me any stories: with all your crookery, with all your intelligence and all your special sharpness I know what you are up to, because only I know it with vibrations. But otherwise I’m very simple, I can't rationally or anything I can understand, but by vibrations I know where you are.
In the same way you,  develop your vibratory awareness, its sensitivity, and try to understand things through vibratory awareness! If you can do that, then you will be perfect prophets. You'll be perfect prophets.

CC/ LET/ NT/ D.K/ USA/ much more than 2!

Now, among ourselves also you'll find there are people who are not up to the point. Such people should never be trusted, should never be trusted because they are half-baked, they might become negative, they might become positive. So they should not be trusted and they should be treated with a little reserve. Once they become all right, then you can take them into your own fold.
For example, recently a girl married somebody who is a great Sahaja yogi. Now because he said he loved her and all that nonsense, so I said, "All right, baba, you marry her!" But I knew that this one is no good, but what to say?

And then, this lady tried -actually she travelled with Me and she tried even to clutch My heart with the bhoots she had, absolutely! Twice she did it. So cunning, the spirits are so cunning in her, that when she went back to Australia, you see, she put up a show in such a way that [the ashramites were saying] "Oh, she is so insecured and her husband doesn't care for her, and this and that ..." And the whole of that ashram, just imagine, would have been lost. But I knew something was happening, so I trunk-called. Immediately I found out.I told them, 

"Now, see her vibrations!" They said, 

"Mother, we don't find anything wrong with her."

...rationally...

That means they never saw her vibration to begin with; because what happens once vibrations are lost, you can't feel anything. She has engulfed all of them so much that they couldn't feel anything about her. Can you imagine?
Then rationally I asked a question, "Can you replace Warren for his wife?" And they got a fright.
So, one has to be very, very alert about it, extremely alert as to these people who are half-baked. They will always try to pull you down. Half-baked people will always try to pull you down, unless and until you are firm enough to pull them up. Because they are not doing it, they are not aware of it, but they are under the possession of these people, and when they do something, they try to do all anti-God activities.

Another one I'll tell you was in Geneva. In the beginning I don't tell openly about a person. As far as possible I don't tell openly, because it’s not proper. Give them a chance, they'll come up, it will work out, doesn't matter. I can manage it.  
But when the nuisance becomes a collective thing, then one has to talk about it openly; you see, because these people will go to one person, say something, another person something, third person something. So you have to be very alert. And they’re not aware of it – that's the best part of it, they are not aware of what they are doing. Like this lady in Geneva would go on asking everyone, "What do you think about Mr. X or Mr. Y?" All right. So you would say something: if you are negative, she would catch hold of that.

..good points...

Day before yesterday I was very happy when Ray told Me something good about Pamela. He said, "Pamela is a very artistic lady." When you start seeing good points in others it gives Me pleasure, it gives me happiness, it gives me joy. But if you start seeing bad points in another, then I don't like it. Sometimes of course, when you – I also test you on that point- sometimes I’ll say something, you see, deliberately, I’ll say, "All right, something wrong with Ray" – I may say.
I know about whether it is wrong or right; just to judge how far you can judge that person. Then if you say, supporting to the right thing that he's doing, then I know that you are right. I like it, I appreciate you, I really adore you for that. That whatever is the truth you should tell Me, because I know the truth, but I just play around with you to see what you think of another person. So try to see the good point in another.

• But on one point you should understand, if a person is quarrelsome, is trying to overpower you – Birmingham, we have a problem like that, which I have not yet exposed or said so. Still I have kept it   a secret but I am telling people that in Birmingham there's a problem, and that problem comes from one person who is not aware of it. I will talk to that person, tell that person that he should get rid of this problem. But if he does not then I have to tell about it openly, because I don't want Birmingham center to be lost.

...can't do without each other..

• We would have lost Geneva, I tell you we would have lost it. Everybody went against each other and big problems were created, by one person.

Though you are full-baked, still you are not so collectively aware and appreciative of others as you should be.
You are all one.""

Not only appreciation, but you can't do without each other.

MISLEADING

So all these things are very, very... confusing, but we don’t understand how confuse we are about it. And we don’t understand how our VIBRATIONS can mislead us.

Because VIBRATIONS are there, alright. But sometimes, even if they are missing, just to justify yourself, you will say: 

“We have VIBRATIONS and we feel that it’s very good, excellent”,
 and later on, you will discover that it is not so.
So, even now when we are realized souls, we should know what is encompassing us, which is around us, what is that which makes us feel that it’s alright, it is good, we should have it.
Once we start understanding that VIBRATIONS of pure knowledge are of a very different nature, then you are not attached to that person, you are not attached to that family, you are not attached to that country, nothing! 
But what you feel is the pure VIBRATIONS coming to you. 
This is the point which is very confusing, when you say: “My VIBRATIONS are good, I like those VIBRATIONS.” And why you jump into the ocean of filth? 
Many people have asked Me: “Mother, why is it sometimes we make mistakes?” You do not make mistakes, it’s your ignorance which is darkness and that’s why, whenever you plunge into it, you fall into trouble.

(…)The knowledge, as I told you, pure knowledge, is that which gives you a pure light. A pure light means pure VIBRATIONS. Now, VIBRATIONS can be misleading, as I told you, or, could be, the quantity of VIBRATIONS can be less or more. 

...can be misleading...

Another way to see, is to see for yourself why you want to do a particular thing. Mental also you can use, parameter of mental understanding: “Why do I want to do it? What is the gain for all?” 
If you start thinking from that angle: 
“What is the gain for others? What will they gain by this? Why should I do it?”, 
you’ll be amazed, you’ll get the real picture of all this.
So you must keep yourself all the time in a state where you witness yourself. 
You see yourself that: “Why am I doing this? What is the purpose?” 
Sometimes this could be some conditioning, it could be some sort of a psychological thing, it could be anything. But if you start watching carefully: “Why am I doing it?”, you’ll be amazed that your VIBRATIONS itself will start telling you on your finger tips. 
But sometimes the VIBRATIONS are so superficially coming: “Aah, I got the VIBRATIONS, I’m this, I’m that!”
For this reason, I am saying again and again, though you are such a nice family of Mine, and we are all so much blessed and we have so much of knowledge with us, we should be very wise. If there is no wisdom, if there is no wisdom, we can never understand what we are doing.
Now to develop this wisdom, what have you to do?

CHEATING

Now the intelligence cheats again: Mother said that if you feel VIBRATIONS then it's alright ; and 

"I'm feeling the VIBRATIONS, I'm alright".
-Again cheating! You are cheating yourself ! What is the reason?
The reason is very interesting.  
I've seen that ordinary human beings-in the West specially-are very much against themselves. Like, I'll give you an example: You tell somebody that if you have to go to the station, take this road and you'll go straight to the station. But immediately he'll say, "But the problem is that how can I go straight ? My back is towards the station. If I walk straight I'll go in the opposite direction". Such stupid things! But they say it, all the time.

PUTTING YOU INTO PROBLEMS

It's a tremendous dynamic force which is working it out. But if you have no faith, then the same VIBRATIONS know that you have no faith. They know you out and out, absolutely out and out, they know you too well. 
It is they only who play around with you and put you into problems, so that you realize that you have been trying to cheat yourself. 
You are cheating your own Spirit. You are not truthful to yourself and it would be like taking a dagger and putting it through and being very happy, 'Oh how I have cheated myself.' It's that foolish and stupid I tell you!
They know you too well. And they just take you round and put you into a problem to realize, that "do not cheat anymore!"

These dangers are there for all the people who get realization.

1980-Sept.08: The Dangers We Face,  Caxton Hall, 

In the Collective also

This happens with the individuals. It can happen in the collective also.  I have seen in the collective people are so much misled; and one negative person immediately knows who is the other negative, and then he gets hold of that negative and they start working together. 
So you have to be extremely cautious that you have got your Realization, you've got everything, you've got also lot of money in Sahaja Yoga. With all that you should know it's a very, very good sign for thieves to walk in. So you should be very careful and don't get charmed by all these nonsensical things. That's what is the protection from your Mother, that She wants to protect you in this way. 
Our whole attitude towards life has to be that of a witness - you see everything clearly. Gradually this seeing will become so very sharp, so clear-cut, so understanding that you will be amazed. Then you will be using something in the air, anything you are using. 
Then you don't have to think, only you have to know the VIBRATIONS: what are the VIBRATIONS are, what do the VIBRATIONS say, because they are there to guide you.

Gradually...then you have to know the Vibrations

Those who are not yet very good at VIBRATIONS should try to establish themselves. If you are not good at VIBRATIONS that means you will not judge people rightly, nor will they have knowledge properly. So first you must get your, all your VIBRATIONS corrected and also chakras corrected. 
After that you can see what are your associates, who are they? See actually, your mind now is so enlightened that you can straightforward see everything before you. But if you don't use that enlightened mind you will be amazed, there are some forces of negativity, and once these forces start...!

So this is how we have to come back to this horrible night of Kali Yuga through Diwali. This is what we have to do, to be humble and to find whether you are all right or not, whether you are going in the right direction or not. 
It is you only who can decide. With VIBRATIONS you can immediately know that you are catching, or you may know you are right.
Whatever decision has to be taken, you have to use your hands fully. It's not talking that is going to help, it's not giving lectures that is going to help - no. It is through experimenting, through understanding, through the feelings of the deep, I should say the deep impact of everything that will communicate to you what sort of a people they are, what they are talking about, what you should do. 
This could be a little mental, but later on it becomes absolutely beyond a mental activity.

how many of  you

All this thinking and all kinds of decision making and having a big conference for decisions and all that, is not needed. In day-to-day life also, you have to be like that. Also in every political life, economical life, or any other life you have to lead, you have to be very spontaneous.
How do you become spontaneous? What quality you have got? What is the weapon you have got to know what decision to take? Do you know? You have got VIBRATIONS. You have the feel of the VIBRATIONS. And you know what VIBRATIONS are, you know what VIBRATIONS tell you and convey and communicate to you. They speak to you. So, through your VIBRATIONS, you should know, in a second, what should you do.
For example now, somebody told Me that: “Mother, when I came to Cabella, I felt tremendous VIBRATIONS.” It’s a fact.  

But how many of you feel that way? Because your sensitivity is not yet developed.  

You have to be sensitive about your VIBRATIONS. You should know, looking at anyone, sitting next to anyone, even shaking hands with anyone... you should know what sort of VIBRATIONS that person has. This kind of sensitivity if you develop, then will definitely take a very spontaneous decision.
You know I’m very good at it: I bought this Cabella in five minutes.

I cheat myself 


People will tell Me, "Mother, his VIBRATIONS are not all right, this house has no good VIBRATIONS, that has no good VIBRATIONS", and the fellow himself is shaking before Me, you know, like this. 
And I said, "What about your VIBRATIONS?"
"Oh, I am getting too much."
But I am also getting too much, so -please!
 The problem with Sahaja Yogis sometimes is that they don't know the importance of what they are. They are not aware. If their ego was correct, in that Ahamkara - ego, the essence of it is Ahambawa, is that, "I am a Sahaja Yogi. I am a Sahaja Yogi."

Now, keep the point of honesty with it.
"Honestly, I'm a Sahaja Yogi and I'm a follower of a religion, which is a universal religion, which is innately built in myself." There's no hanky panky about it. "Is my experience, and I believe in it fully, and is innately within myself." This is the Ahambawa. I don't know what is it in the English language, is could be "I-ness", "I-ness". Then:"I am on this earth now, this life is for the work of God. And for that I have to be a pure person, because I belong to Vishwa Nirmala Dharma. I have to be pure, I have to achieve my purity through meditation through every way watching myself. I have to be a pure person. And if I am a Sahaja Yogi, if I am united with that all pervading power of love, I should be the medium to give that love to others, and compassion. I have no time for other things. Other things are of no value. My attention has to be pure. My life has to be pure. [But]

No self-respect!

 I say one thing, do another thing. I cheat myself morning till evening, then I have no "I-ness", I have no self respect. If it is possible, why not manage something free? "

Say, "If Mother has a house, let's go and have some nice time there. After all it's Nirmala House, so we can have something free." 
No self respect!: "Let us save some money, if possible here and there." - No self respect!
