Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap things you
Some people think if they can get some money out of me then it’s a
big advantage. Alright, you can take it. Some people think if they can
take some of my time, they are at a very great advantage. Alright, you
can have it. Or some people think if they can take advantage of me,
some sort of feeling ego-pampered or something, ‘I’m a great lord’ and
some sort of thing, you know. Alright. But those who are wise take the
best advantage, and the best advantage is the growth within.
So the first awareness has to be that you are such lucky people that
before you stands someone who has control over all the centres, over
all the powers, or, say, who is all-powerful. How much advantage you
have taken of that is the most important thing.
V4.21.May84.p16
(202)
On visit to India.
So, despite the Ritambhara Pragnya, like the sun today, you must have
been upset yesterday thinking that now we have come here, we have
to live in tents and the water is raining – I know you must have been,
but the one who has achieve that state, would not be. What is there?
I’ve to live … doesn’t matter, I’m here for a special purpose, as long as
I achieve that purpose nothing matters to me; what discomfort, what
all these things happen to me, I have to achieve that purpose.’
Some of you people cannot see me so closely; some of you are still not
capable. Doesn’t matter. What is most important is ‘I should achieve
that state; I’ve come here for that, not for fun, not for food, not for
comfort. Not for anything but for achieving a special state where I
become the Guru. What is my preparation for that?’
We have to be extremely careful because the attention of the Divine is
not raising you directly. It is a balance. You are all the time in a
balance. Remember that. And you have to be extremely careful how
far you go with that balance.
V4.21.May84.p17
(203)
So the mind that is destructive is only calculating. If you have such a
mind, know yourself that you have to get rid of that kind of a
calculation.
should just give up. Keep in the centre.
You should not be, of course, over indulgent but, you should not be
also going for, all the time, for this kind of a calculation because you
are wasting your important awakened attention, which very few people
have in this world.
Must know that you are realised souls, you are not ordinary, mundane
type of people. You are special people and you are not to waste your
attention in useless calculating, money, ‘p’, and this and that.
‘Let’s go ahead, what happens, let’s see.’ I never calculate, you know
that, but I live very cheaply, and you can also do that.
V4.21.May84.p18
(204)
But the people like Indians, who are not calculating, are not so rich,
they are very generous, they always have money for Sahaja Yoga. I
have never had a problem of money with them. Never. Because they
are not so calculating. To them, to do for others, not for yourself, but
for others, to spend for others. If they have come to your house,
alright, open your heart now; this is the time to spend. Not for drinking
and self-indulgence, but for the indulgence of doing for others; that’s
their practice and tradition. ‘Oh, they have come! Let’s spend now.
What can we do?’ This is the main thing one should understand, those
who are mostly indulgent are extremely miserly people.
So, the attention which is cunning is the worst attention because, you
see, cunningness also cheats yourself, if it is cunning with you and you
think, ‘Oh, I’ve been smart enough, you see I’ve saved 2p’. But you
have lost your soul. You are no more a Sahaja Yogi.
V4.21.May84.p17
(205)
So your attention should not be on saving material things and worldly
things and all that, but attention itself must be saved.
Ask a question: ‘Where is my attention?’ I’ve seen in the programmes
some people are concentratedly listening to me, but some people
cannot. Some are concentrated for a short while, and some get
disinterested after some time. Some are looking there, some are
looking there. So how much attention you have saved is the only
concern of a Sahaja Yogi. Forget about others who are not seeking,
who are not of your quality, but you are a quality. Now what do you
have to save? For example, somebody is a king, he doesn’t bother of
2p being saved (I don’t know baba, these days I can’t say definitely!
They must be also doing that kind of a thing you know), but what he is
bothered to save – his grace, his dignity. But for a Sahaja Yogi, the
most important thing is you must save your attention.
V.4.21.May84.p19
(206)
For a Sahaja Yogi the most important thing is: you must save your
attention.
Is called as Chitta Nirodha. Nirodha – saving, of your attention.
Where is it going? It’s such a precious thing for me. Where is it
running?
Then, how do you save your attention? Is through concentration.
Concentrate. Try to concentrate. Don’t allow your attention to wobble.
Gradually you will develop concentration. You can watch my
photograph, that’s the best. Concentrate, bring it in your heart, let it
be integrated in your heart.
You are lucky people. You don’t have to build up a photograph and
then give it up because it’s just an avalambana – means it’s just a
dependence and then you remove it. It’s a complete dependence for
you, and a load for me of complete joy.
So, when you are concentrating in Sahaja Yoga, absolutely, fully in
Sahaja Yoga, then you are controlling, saving, your attention. This is
one type of people (the positive).
V4.21.May84.p19
(207)
Then there is another type of attention, what we call.., are the people
who are sort of … take a very negative attitude. (The first are the
positive, so-called positive, who are saving money, saving everything
that is useless). Now the second type are the archbishops of all that is
disaster, misery, mishaps – this kind of attention. If you read
newspaper every morning you will have an attention like that, to find
where is the disaster, I mean, in a sinister way they feel happy there’s
a disaster. I’ve seen people: ‘Oh Mother, I came to the seminar but the
problem is, you see, there was not Water!’ The attention is in finding
these disasters within and without: ‘What happened?’, ‘There’s a
disaster!’, ‘What happened?’, ‘I lost a pin.’ Absurd, to have such stupid
ideas.
They will cry and weep and make everyone miserable, ‘Oooh, I’m so
miserable!’ What? ‘My husband doesn’t talk to me’, or, ‘my child is
not with me.’ Such people are extremely self-indulgent as far as their
relationships are concerned. They make everyone like that: ‘Oh, this
person didn’t talk to me nicely and he was this way and that way’.
They feel hurt at the slightest touch and by that they think they are
saving their emotions, if not material things. Such people are very
frightened people to talk to anyone, and anyone says nice thing they’ll
get a fright and frown. The reason is they do not know what they have
to save – it’s not their emotions at all, but their attention.
V4.21.May84.p20
(208)
There’s no need to save your emotions, you are protected. What does
it matter if somebody says anything to you? You are above them,
nobody can touch you! You are wasting your attention all the time by
trying to save your emotions. There’s nothing to be frightened of
anyone, because somebody is going to say something, harsh word,
that’s why you don’t want to do something – such compromising
people, so-called, have not understood Sahaja Yoga at all. It’s just like
a diamond. Diamond will remain a diamond whatever you do; it’s
forever and ever. It’s like that. So the attention should not be allowed
to drift into this kind of an indulgence which is of a drunkard. They are
the most miserable people, just imagine, always crying, weeping,
miserable. So what you have save at that time is your attention from
such indulgences into useless expression of your fear about your
emotions. The song filled me, but the greatest thing it has doe is to
remind me ‘that you are God’. You are not to get frustrated. You have
to look after all of them – and you are powerful when you talk.
V4.21.May84.p20
(209)
So such people should always keep a mirror and feel elevated. You are
a Sahaja Yogi and the mirror, in the reflection, you should see Me and
not yourself. Sometimes I mean I get really frustrated with Sahaja
Yogis, very much. Then I just before the mirror and I say, ‘Now, come
along. You are the one who has all the powers, who has all the chakras
awakened. None of the Advents had this. You are the one who has
created this world and you are the one who has to save it! So now, get
up!’
Not to lose courage. Not to worry. Only in the emotional things I
sometimes feel that now I’ll have to give up some of them,
completely. They are my children, as a mother, not as a Guru - for a
Guru they don’t have problem - and then the stirring up comes in
within myself that, ‘No, even if I have to give up, doesn’t matter, I have
to raise, absolutely’, and with that power it works. so the reflection
should be of Me, of something that is ideal before you; the one that
gives you energy – like this song- and not the reflection of a miserable
person. Christ standing before you as in the Sistine Chapel, and not
some miserable skeleton, which is even worse than you. So create
those images of your Mother which you should see in your emotions,
and rise. This is the second type of attention which you have to
control. V4.21.May84.p20
(210)
The third type is a very horrid, idiotic one, schizophrenic, stupid
donkeys – is most frustrating for me. They’ll stick on to me like
leeches saying stupid things all the time. Just can’t bear an idiot, isn’t
it? They can bore a person, all sorts of this put together is called as
murkha. So I don’t want to analyse it, it’s a bit too much. So that kind
of an attention you have, then you better keep quiet. Don’t talk. Just
listen to others what they talk. There are some people who will just go
on talking, talking, talking – irrelevantly, uselessly, wasting their
energy, and such people are always friend of the cunning. They go
hand in hand because the cunning wants to befool someone, and the
fool wants to be befooled. Like a king will have a jester, that’s how
these combinations work out. So for such people the best thing is to
keep quiet, preserve all their attention, all their energies, for cleansing.
All this idiocy will pass away very soon if you try to preserve yourself.
Don’t talk. Don’t say things which are stupid, idiotic. Just keep quiet
and watch others. Sometimes such people can become a very great
vehicle of God’s power, but only if they do not take to stupidity and
idiocy. V4.21.May84.p20
(211)
But the fourth type are the people who lead a life of concentration,
working very hard, say, in the office – is a very remarkably successful
person. A housewife who looks after her husband and children is very
concentrated, and a husband looking after his family, they know how
to paint well, how to do things, their hands are deft, and they know
everything. But such people can have a very immobile attention, like
plastic, like rubber at the most. To improve on it we can, say, like
some of the things I have seen which you use for damp proofing, you
see, you just apply it, after some time it’s just parched into it. They
just can’t get out of it. They just can’t enjoy anything unless and until
you show them a file you cannot talk to them. If you talk they will say,
‘make a file’. Very parched and they cannot enjoy life. There’s no
mobility. They cannot be creative, only as far as their style is
concerned, but not the creative of the joy. Extremely concentrated
fanatics. That’s how all these religions have spread, like Christianity,
Islam, Hinduism and all that, like Paul – you go there, establish a
church – very organised, very systematic, absolutely moving like a belt
on a machine.
V4.21.May84.p21
(212)
That kind of an attention, that is concentrated, means stuck onto
something. It’s not that it’s not penetrating, because if you attention
doesn’t become, by concentration, subtler and subtler, then it’s not
that, but it is getting stuck. And the stuck attention is of no use for
Sahaja Yoga. Such people, I do not know, will never be saved perhaps.
So-called successful! They’ll go with all their badges, everything, and
God will say, ‘Go back gentlemen, you are not yet passed through
customs’. So these people will just be stuck people.
There is another organisation which works much faster, much smarter
way, and a very specially efficient thing.
V4.21.May84.p21
(213)
Now there are a fourth type of people which are concentrated. They
are intense, deep. They penetrate because they are living minds, they
are not dead, parched minds, they have living minds, they penetrate. I
watch sometimes, I ask some people, ‘What do you think of a particular
person?’ Immediately I know what they talk. If they just talk in a
mundane way, he is a fine person, he is a bad person, this thing, that
thing, then I know that it is very superficial, shallow.
But a person who sees the possibilities and potentiality of it awakening
and the problems a person is facing – then I know that he is the one
who has that concentration into the subject.
V4.21.May84.p22
(214)
And the subject of Sahaja Yoga requires the maximum, maximum,
penetration because Sahaja Yoga, if you have understood, I don’t know
if you have understood or you are aware of it or not, but it is learnt
through experience, and through nothing else.
You have to experience and then believe into it. It is not that what I
told you is conditioning your mind, nothing; you experience it yourself
and learn.
But those who have that penetrating intelligence, who have that
penetrating love, emotions, and those who have that penetrating
movement of their understanding – they are the ones who experience,
learn, experience, learn, experience, learn … They do not allow their
mind to play on them: “No, no, no. This mind of mine has got
experience of the past and is based on that. No. I have to take every
day a new experience and that experience must be silenced within
me, must be sustained within me, must be conditioned within me.”
V4.21.May84.p22
(215)
Sahaja Yoga experiences are the good conditionings: ‘How can it be?
I’ve seen it, I’ve faced it. I’ve had it. How can it be?’
But for that, also to have the best experiences, first condition is of
Ritambhara Pragnya – where you should be of that level that you really
get those experiences, otherwise you’ll be just a mundane type of
person all the time.
And you may live with me, but you will not have those experiences,
you’ll not have that blissful feeling, nothing – that joy…
V4.21.May84.p22
(216)
So this penetration starts by your meditation and sustenance of the
meditation, and the Samadhi seed sprouting, manifesting the new
dimensions within. This sort of an attention one has to develop by
watching the attention – Chitta Norordha – as you watch your money,
as you watch the road when you drive, as you watch your child when
it’s growing, as you watch the beauty of your wife, or the care of your
husband all put together, you watch yourself, you watch your
attention. Where is it going? Where is it lagging behind? What is
happening to my attention?
Such people have no problems. You’ll be surprised that such people,
when they want to do something, it becomes dynamic. They can work
it out. Nobody has any problem. And if there is a problem which you
are facing all the time, and you then know that there is something
wrong with you. Something is wrong with the instrument. If you don’t
have a tin-cutter and as you start using a knife to cut a tin, doesn’t
work out, then you’ll say something is wrong with the tin, or something
is wrong with you? No. It’s wrong with the instrument and that
instrument has to be corrected.
V4.21.May84.p22
(217)
When the instrument is alright, after all, with all the powers you have,
with all the blessings you have and the source of power behind it,
everything should work out.
You have had experiences of things working out. You have had
experiences of many miracles happening before your eyes, but still the
attention has not settled down with those experiences.
Still gatanubhavas (means the old experiences) continue, old
identifications continue. You still continue with that, and the filth of
that is still on your being.
V4.21.May84.p23
(218)
Change everything.
Become a fresh, new person.
You are blooming out as a flower, and then as a tree and assume your
position. Assume your position as the Sahaja Yogi.
So this attention must be brought round. You just yourself where is
your attention, and what is the point of understanding, what is the
measure of understanding.
It’s very simple. I have to be pleased because I am the attention.
If I am pleased then you have done the job. But I cannot be pleased by
mundane things, by any arguments with that, but only with your
ascent.
So you judge yourself on that.
V4.21.May84.p23
(219)
Whether you give me a flower, or anything, I’m only pleased when the
essence of that doing has the height, has the special manifestation.
When you say, ‘I love you very much Mother’, alright you say so, but I
must see that love you are saying or doing has that essence that gives
me joy.
It’s such a mutual thing between us, you can’t imagine. I can’t live
without you and you can’t live without Me. It’s so mutual but,
from one side, it’s absolutely, hundred per cent, benevolent. Whether I
get angry with you, whether I scold you, whether I pamper you,
whether I say, ‘don’t do that’. Or I tell you, ‘don’t come very close to
me, keep away’ anything I do like that is benevolent to you.
And to me the benevolence is only one – that you should be
emancipated, that you should gain something out of me, that you
should prosper out of me.
V4.21.May84.p23
(220)
Like the Mother Earth feels so elated to see Her manifestations into
these beautiful green trees, it’s like that.
She is nothing. We stand on Her. We walk on Her. Where do we see
Her? But She sees Her in those. It’s a same sort of situation; She is
the one who changes all the seasons.
Ritambhara means the one, the attention, which changes the seasons.
Ritu means the seasons; so all the seasons are created by Her, just to
please us.
But what do we do to please Her?
We exhaust Her, torture Her, take everything out from Her, pollute it,
do all kinds of nonsensical things.
And then She gets angry.
The same thing that She is Love, in the same love, She becomes angry
and then you have volcanoes and you have earthquakes and all kinds
of things happening to you.
V4.21.May84.p23
(221)
But, of course, your Mother takes time to get angry! Takes time, that
doesn’t mean you take time. Look after yourselves. Is very important.
Suddenly you will find elevated.
Some people will just elevate themselves and others will be completely
cut out, so be careful, I’m warning you.
So today is the day, previous day to, the fifteenth day. And the
fourteenth day, one has to become a killer. Killer of all that is
ignorance, of all that is stupid, idiotic; all that is cunning and
all that is emotional.
Kill that part, become a Sahaja Yogi tomorrow to receive the blessings.
May God bless you.
V4.21.May84.p23

(222)
What a beautiful place we are all in. It’s a real blessing of Sahaja Yoga
for all of you to relax. Relax well, because in relaxation only you
realise that, ‘we are now realised souls, that we have entered into
the Kingdom of Heaven, that we can see the beauty that God has
created all around us, that we have become sensitive to His grace and
to His kindness and to His love. I am very happy that you have
arranged a seminar to meet together and live together and understand
each other.
The seminars, on the gross level, they work out many things, no doubt,
but on the subtler levels seminars of the Sahaja Yogis mean a lot. It
means that strong nuclei are being consolidated in various places in a
country, and these strongholds, or the strong nuclei, which are created
like this can form a mechanism by which beams of strong vibrations
can flow, or be thrown, all over the place. It is a very great task to
build up these divine mechanisms in different parts of your country.
For example Mother Earth has done Her job. Wherever it was possible
for Her, She has created living deities to show that God exists, that you
can now test their vibrations and see how She has worked very hard.
She has crated this beautiful universe. She has created you also and
the Kundalini within you. She represents the beautiful nature. She
blesses all of you the same but those who are sensitive, subtler people
enjoy Her much more.
V4.21.May84.p24
(223)
Now, what is there to be afraid of?
A man who is weak cannot love. Only a strong person can love, first of
all, see whether you are strong enough to love or not.
Loving is not an easy thing, even carnal love, even loving your beloved
in the ordinary sense, is not an easy thing. You have to have a very
strong moral concept; otherwise every third minute people start
changing their loves. That kind of love has no meaning. You have to
have very firm ideas, not only in your brain but built within you. Very
few people can have a love as Romeo had, I can tell you this. It’s easy
to think you are a Romeo. It’s different.
You can think you are the King of England but you don’t become that
way. So, to be a Romeo itself you have to have a tremendous
character, a tremendous sense of sacrifice and love and understanding
of what you want. You want to love, that’s all, nothing beyond or
before. I mean a man, when he falls in love, he falls in love forever and
ever and ever. If he falls in love many times it cannot be love. So that
experience also is a sort of forbidden fruit for most of you.
V4.21.May84.p25
(224)
So to love God is even more difficult, without seeing Him, without
knowing His bounties. Without getting realisation it is very difficult.
But today that is not the case, but still you have to have no fear in your
mind.
Trust. You trust yourself and you trust others. First of all, try to trust
yourself. If you have made mistakes you have to say, ‘Yes, I have
made mistakes, so what?’ Trust yourself that you can correct yourself
also. Trusting doesn’t mean a blind ego trip. It does not mean that. It
means that, ‘yes, I can correct myself. I can improve. I can do better.’
Some people think that if you trust yourself then you should never
confess anything you have done wrong, that you should never say
that, ‘it was wrong and I can correct it.’ These are wrong ideas, you
have to trust yourself saying, ‘Yes I have made mistakes, I have been
doing wrong, I’ve been faltering, but I can correct. I have that strength
within me. I can rise above all these things. I have that thing within
me that I can use to my advantage. Trust yourself. Trust that you are
realised souls. Trust that God loves you. He has chosen you as his
instrument. Love yourself. You are unique. No doubt about that.
V4.21.May84.p26
(225)
As it is every human being is a unique personality, every individual, but
after realisation you are definitely unique. One has to use discretion
about understanding. It never means ego trip. If you cannot correct
yourself, you are not master of yourself.
Yes, you are not perfect. You are unique but not perfect. You have to
perfect yourself. These words can be very confusing. When I say you
are unique, immediately you think you are perfect. These are two
words, unique and perfect. Somebody can be unique but he can have
imperfections. So you have to perfect yourself through your Kundalini
awakening, clearing your chakras, by understanding you can perfect
yourself. You have to be perfect.
V4.21.May84.p26
(226)
I have so many ways.
I tell you directly, sometimes indirectly through friends, somehow I
point out that this is the problem with you. You should think that I’m
within you; I’m that part within you which is discretion. When you do
not understand your own discretion I try to give you the direction by
this way or that way. But people feel hurt, people feel bad, or some
people accept it. If you are seekers and you are ascending, you are
definitely unique, you are specially blessed and you have to pay
special attention to yourself. You can’t afford to play with yourself. So,
you have to discriminate between ego, or ego trips as they call it, and
ascent. Ego trips bring you back with the worst hurting.
It would be something like throwing you in the air and again you come
back with a bump and break one of your legs, or something like that.
That’s what an ego trip is.
But ascent is when you really rise above. Not only that you rise but,
with you, you make others rise. In your ascent you develop
tremendous powers. The higher you ascend the better it is. But not by
thinking that you are perfect that you can ascend.
V4.21.May84.p26
(227)
So this is what one has to understand.
If you ascend you will become humbler.
It is just the other way round that people understand. When they
ascend they think that they have achieved some special powers, I
don’t know, suddenly self-certification starts, you see, ‘I am very good
in spirituality, I am very high up’, and all that. This self-certificate
starts and then it can reach such a point where suddenly you find you
are on the earth again.
This kind of thing is not the way it works out.
Actually there are certain qualities that show on people who ascend.
The first is their collectivity.
How collective you are, how many people you can get along with, at
how many things you can laugh – that is one of the biggest qualities.
V4.21.May84.p27
(228)
The second quality is that how much you accept another’s domination
who cuts down your collectivity. You must have your personality
separate from everyone. If you allow others to cut your personality,
say, for example, there’s a boss and you are an employee and both are
realised souls and one of them is ascending – then he becomes the
humbler, he becomes better. They have a congenial relationship, but
up to a point. He will never compromise with his boss when it comes
to his ascent to his collectivity, to his giving, to his doing things for
others. On that point, he’ll never have domination.
How much you feel responsible about yourself is the second
point. How much you are responsible to be there, to be a cell in the
heart. Any cell that fails, fails the heart. Every cell in the heart
has to be extremely sensitive and extremely obedient to the Self, to
the Spirit. It has to activate, work harder when there is need or
emergency – and it enjoys the most.
V4.21.May84.p27
(229)
And no impurity should be allowed.
The third point, now, as I told you, first – collectivity, secondly – your
responsibility and third point is purity.
Purity of your own heart first of all, of your own heart; without
insincerity, cunningness.
As I’m saying this you will realise that all Englishmen believe in the
contrary, nowadays, not olden times, but nowadays. Open heart.
Transparent. Open heart. Trust others. Why do you doubt? If you do
not doubt yourself you will not doubt others.
What are they going to take away from you? What have you got?
Nobody can take away your nose, eyes, nothing. It’s all quite intact.
It’s all nicely glued down so nothing is going to disappear. Ho war they
going to hurt a person who is a realised soul?
If your heart is clean, you can see the other person clearly through and
through.
Innocence is such a powerful thing. Such a powerful thing that even a
glance is sufficient to kill a satan.
Purity of the heart.
V4.21.May84.p27
(230)
Actually, when the heart becomes impure the impurity flows down to
other places. It is not the other way round. It is from the heart. Many
people believe that it’s the body that becomes impure. I think it is the
heart which becomes impure and then it starts trickling down and then
it is residual there. It settles down there.
So have a clean, open heart like a child’s heart. Open heart. What is
there to be afraid of anyone? What is there not to trust anyone? What
is there to be angry with anyone?
Talk to everyone, shake hands with everyone, be nice to everyone. On
the way you find somebody with difficulty, give him a hand. If
someone cannot sit properly or has a problem you try to remove the
problem. If someone cannot stand, give the place. Try to give from
your clean heart. If your heart is not clean you can never give.
V4.21.May84.p27
(231)
Now, how do you clean the heart, is the subject. There’s no broom
available for that in the supermarket. There are no Fairy Liquids or
anything to wash it down, but there is a way.
Allow your heart to be drenched in your Mother’s Love.
Just allow. See how much She loves you. I trust you. People laugh at
me sometimes. Some of these saints who are supposed to be very
great people, they can’t understand how I trust you. They say that,
‘Oh these are all lost races. These are horrible people. How do you
trust them? They are not sanyasis, they’re not sadhus, they are
nothing. They are ordinary people.’ For them, your value is nothing. If
you go to them they will make you stand on your head for three years,
they may hang you in a well to test you. But I trusted you the day I
saw you, the day you came to me, I trusted you, and I worked on you
from the first day, knowing what you are, but I trusted your Spirit, that
it would shine. In the same way, trust. We laugh at others. I have
seen Sahaja Yogis make fund of them when they come to me. Trust
them. When you trust them you will respect them also.

So you have to believe in yourself and enjoy the way, gently, you are
sweeping into the current of your Mother’s love. Just enjoy that, like a
flower that falls into the current and flows and enjoys all the beauties
of that current. In the same way you should enjoy. When that
enjoyment comes into you, you will start trusting – and trust your
Mother.
I try many things to correct you, but trust in one thing, that whatever I
try for you or do anything, anything I may do for you, is to cleanse you.
That’s my job.
Maybe sometimes you might feel I am publicly saying things for you.
Maybe your images are being ruined by that, or whatever you may
think, that’s not the way. It’s for your hita, it’s for the well-being of
your Spirit and that’s the most difficult job.
V4.21.May84.p28
(233)
With all this trust in your heart, first trust yourself; trust others, other
Sahaja Yogis.
‘Love they neighbour as thyself’. Who is they neighbour? It’s a Sahaja
Yogi. Stand by him.
And trust your Mother. As I have trusted you, you have to trust me and
it will work out. Open your heart to this trust. You should not worry
whether it would be absolutely respectable or not, because heart
knows.
Whatever your heart will do in its genuine form will be respectable
because there resides your Spirit which manifests. That will look after
it. By outward forms whatever you try, it’s not going to work out.
It is that trust in your loving heart that’s going to do it. Love gives all
the sophistication and the fragrance and the breeding which is
required.
Not talking about love, but really loving is the way.
V4.21.May84.p28
(234)
So, today is a day, according to the Indian calendar, called as
Parivartini Ekadasha. Now, today is the 11th day of the moon, 11th day
is Ekadasha. Also, in Sahaja Yoga, you know about Ekadasha Rudra,
which is here (forehead), which will ultimately destroy those things
which are not required anymore. But today is a special day where we
are going to use the power of Ekadasha to do the transformation – it is
not for the destruction but for transformation.
Is such a day to be here in New York, where we use the destructive
powers for the transformation of the Universe.
V4.21.May84.p29
(235)
So, it’s a very great day today that we are going to transform people by the
manifestation of the Ekadasha’s powers, and they are 11, placed over your
forehead here, and you know how they work out so that these 10 come of the
destructive powers of the void. Void has got 10 destructive powers also. Out of
those 10, the destructive part settles down here so when a person is on his
destruction, say, for example, cancer has set in, then you might feel a throb
here at the apex of your void. It doesn’t mean that if there’s a throb, there’s a
cancer, but if there’s a cancer, there’ll be a throb in here going on. That
means the force of life is trying to push it, but the obstruction there starts
accumulation on both sides, and in the centre is the centre of the Vishuddhi, of
the Virata. Shri Krishna has become the Virata, the Great Primordial Being, so
this is the 11th power of destruction. He has the power called Samhara Shakti
by which he kills people. So, before killing them and finishing them off, in the
compassion of your Mother, we have to first try to transform them. If they
cannot be transformed then it’s alright, then let Ekadasha take over. So these
11 very great destructive powers will be used by the Kalki, the One who is
going to manifest on a white horse. Before that, today is a very great day that
we are going to use these powers for transformation.
V4.21.May84.p29
(236)
Now, how can destructive powers be used for transformation? First of all,
when people know that there are destructive powers manifesting, they start
fearing. They get afraid that we’ll be destroyed so we must take to God.
That’s one of the ways. Secondly, if a person comes to know about any
destructive diseases, like cancer, he want to find out a method, and there is
not method available on a human level, so then he thinks of God and wants to
come nearer to God. The fear brings him closer to God. He depends on God
more than on his rationality, ego or superego, and he wants to depend on
God’s powers to cure him or same him from this destruction, because he is
now on the brink of destruction, as soon as cancer sets in, he know that there’s
no end to it and he has to be destroyed. So, this is another way people take to
transformation, change their attitudes, change their value systems, develop a
new kind of personality which was never apparent before. So, all harshness
drops out, and all the sweetness starts pouring in. So the compassion in a man
is awakened, by which he gets transformed. Many people who lost their kith
and kin become much more gentle, kinder, because Ekadasha has expressed
its awe, and fear that tomorrow this can happen to me also, so I must do
something about it. Because such an emergency is created within themselves,
thus they are thrust for their transformation to Sahaja Yoga, which helps them
a lot. V4.21.May84.p30
(237)
But there is another subtler way that this destructive force helps; by
destroying all that is negative within us. Because, unless and until that
negative is destroyed within us we cannot become people who can
enter into the Kingdom of God. We have our ego and superego, both
can be represented here. When you have your ego, very much great
ego, then you’ll find a big blob like ego coming out on the left side, a
very big one here. Or, if you have superego, you can see another big
thing jutting out on the brain on the right side. So, on both sides you
might get both things if both the sympathetic are overactive. If you
are not a very collective person also you might get a blob here. So,
you might get all the thing filled up with your ego, superego and this
Virata centre again blown up – in a way that a person develops a face
like a monster sometimes. This portion becomes too big, thick, jutting
out. There’s a character I’ve seen like that, Frankenstein, is it? Yes,
that has come from the Unconscious; Frankenstein character is all this
is swollen up, jutting out, and this place like that. That’s really the one
that happens to human beings when he becomes a devil himself.
V4.21.May84.p30
(238)
So this is how the Ekadasha works within us, to destroy our negativity
in us. In India so many people fast on this day for atonement. On the
11th day is very common: ‘you must do Ekadashi’. All the Hindus and
all these people do Ekadashi, that is the day when you don’t eat
anything at all.
But you shouldn’t do it after the Advent of your Mother because I’m
Ekadasha Myself! So, why should you do it, when I’ve come?
It was done when I was not here, just to call Me, so now I’m back here,,
you need not do this anymore, the penance of Ekadasha. But you have
to be careful.
V4.21.May84.p30

(239)
Now Ekadasha comes, as I told you, from the void. So, firstly, it comes
when you accept someone as your guru, say, who are false, who are
anti-God, anti-Christ, so you develop a kind of thickness on the right
side, it is the person who you are worshipping as a guru, who is a guru
to you, who is not really a guru, so you develop a superego which
shows on this (right) side, this part. Now the other part of it shows
when a person says, ‘I’m my own guru. I’m practising my own
meditation. I’ve nothing to do with anybody’s guidance. I’m quite
alright as I am.’ Such a person develops the left half. So you have
(left) half developed because of that, and this (right) half developed
because of superego that you get from these fake and false gurus.
Now, what happens sometimes that when you get involved into this
kind of superego behaviour, that time, it so happens that you might
take over from there and start using it for your ego.
That’s the worst time for it. At that time what you do is to act like the
devil yourself. And once you start doing that, your Ekadasha is
completely finished, and then I don’t think it’s easy to get rid of it. It’s
very difficult, like if it’s one-sided, it’s much easier.
V4.21.May84.p31
(240)
So today is the day which is called the Ekadasha which is going to
bring the transformation. When you are transformed so many things
are automatically destroyed within you. As you can see very clearly
that all your misidentifications drop out; the misidentification that I’m a
Jew, American, Christian, I’m this, I’m that. All these false
misidentifications drop out and you become a naked human being, first
of all you are a human being, and then a superhuman being – without
the ego. So, your ego is destroyed, your superego is destroyed, your
conditionings are all destroyed and all your false ideas about
knowledge are destroyed. So what remains and emerges is reality.
Now when you see a flower becomes the fruit, everything practically
drops out of the flower, we can say. Like the calyx is dropped out, then
the petals are dropped out and then the epicalyx is also dropped out,
but what remains is the seed actually, if you see. Around the seed all
these things developed and the fruit remains, the rest of it drops out.
So in us also, whatever becomes the Spirit remains, the rest drops
out, and that is what it is when we call it the Ekadasha which brings
forth the transformation, and one has to understand – we have to drop
out many things.
V4.21.May84.p31
(241)
‘What’s wrong?’
Some people I’ve seen they say, ‘what’s wrong? I’m smoking, still my
vibrations are there’. Some say, ‘what’s wrong? I’m drinking, still my
vibrations are there.’ ‘I’m going to this guru, still my vibrations are
there.’ ‘I’m having same type of licentious life, still my vibrations are
there.’
Now, it goes a very long way, the vibrations are still there, but
suddenly they stop and you find you’re out of bounds. You’re thrown
out completely, but you do not feel how you’re thrown out. Gradually
you find, like a tangent you go out, and so one has to be careful about
it.
So within us lies a force which is centrifugal, and a force which is
centripetal.
So, Ekadasha’s force is centrifugal, by which you are thrown out.
Sahaja Yoga doesn’t fall onto anyone’s feet, doesn’t flatter anyone,
doesn’t request anyone. If you want to be there, you have to be
positively there and if you don’t want to be there, it throws you much
faster than you want.
That is the trouble with Sahaja Yoga and this is the loophole which I
have to tell you as a Mother – that it’s very anxious to throw you out.
V4.21.May84.p31
(242)
Romance and marriage.
Some people have a conception that you must have a romance before
marriage. Without a romance, if you have a marriage, then there
should be no marriage. I don’t know on what conception it’s based,
but if you have the romance before the marriage, what’s the fun of
having the marriage? I mean, it’s like, if you have to give somebody a
present, you hid it, you see, keep it to the date, and give the surprise
to the children!
In the same way, if you have the romance already done, what’s the
marriage? What’s the celebration for? It’s absolutely illogical. There is
no romance in such cases. Actually, you’ve seen that after the
romance, the marriage, and then the divorce. It’s always like that
because you become stale, and you find that the romance you had
before the marriage was something, a fantastic fantasy that has
dropped out and now, after marriage, there is nothing left to enjoy, so
you are fed up, and next month you are now in the divorce court.
V4.21.May84.p32

(242)
And children only want to be born in India, not anywhere else, you’d be
surprised. That’s the problem we are facing, our population problem
comes from the point that the marriages are so successful, the people
are so peaceful that children hate to be born to the nightmares of New
York. Naturally, because you don’t know where will be the mother
tomorrow, where will be the father.
Now we are to blame for the high rate of fertility, but what to do?
Children don’t listen, they don’t want to go to such places where
there’s no stability for them to exist, specially the realised children if
they are of a very high quality. (They do .. I mean, they have to be like
devils to get into this thing, so they may try, or maybe real devils take
advantage of it).
But, normally, people who want peace in life, who want joy in life, and
want the love their parents, want to be born in India, and that’s why
recently we find that India is growing so fast in population that we
don’t know what to do.
V4.21.May84.p32
(243)
So we are quite conscious of this force, of Ekadasha, building within us,
and now we have to be conscious that this force is going to transform
the universe. So, today we are going to pray that this force has to
transform America through its capacity to frighten people so that they
come to Sahaja Yoga, because when things have reached this stage of
ego, then when people say, ‘what’s wrong?’ – like in England when I
first started talking they said, ‘This is Victorian woman, out of date,
absolutely useless.’ I said, alright, I don’t say anything, but you’ll have
such diseases that you’ll have to come back. That was the time they
passed the law that homosexuality should be allowed, permissiveness
should be allowed and all these things – and now you have AIDs, now
here already operating. Now AIDs has given the fear of Ekadasha.
Now have it! What’s wrong? What about that. So this awe and fear is
very important. Is an extremely important thing that you must have
the awe and fear that God is Almighty and we are nothing before Him.
We have to remember that we are part and parcel of that God, and
that we have to awaken ourselves to the consciousness that He is the
Whole and we have to become one with the Whole. That’s how we are
going to overcome our Ekadasha. So today I bless you with the power
of Ekadasha which is going to transform you.
V4.21.May84.p33
(245)
They say the 1000 heads of Lord Shesha hissing above Lord Vishnu
represents the constant mental activity, a brain constantly trying to
sustain and balance the world. Lord Vishnu is Vishwapala and the Lord
of the Sushumna Nadi. He is the essence of the nervous system
controlling all the different angas, or limbs, of the Virata as the nerves
penetrate every last portion of the Virata and, like the nerves, receives,
transmits and integrates information. All the great Chakras and never
plexuses are placed ultimately in the Sushumna and it is He who, in
various forms, and using various powers, controls them. In the Nabhi,
Void and Swadisthana, in the Anahata and Vishuddhi, and eventually,
as Maha Vishnu, the Agnya, and the two cerebral hemispheres. He is
the Sukshma Sukshonottama that penetrates the deepest levels of the
Sushumna – the Brahma Nadi, and it is through His grace, by the
ascent in the Brahma Nadi that we get and give realisation.
V4.21.May84.p34
(246)
Hence, He, Lord Vishnu, is the co-ordinator, and there is no detail too
small to escape His attention. By Him, the beggar is fed and sustained,
the family and planetary horoscope is approved and arranged,
marriages take place, etc. In a sense, He is the great bureaucrat,
organising every aspect of the universe. If He were idle or inattentive
for one moment, think what the consequences would be. His is the one
who, in constant leela and Maya maintains the creation and writes the
drama, for without leela and Maya there would be no creation and no
drama, only Atma.
It is He who stands in the middle between the Maya of the Adi Shakti
and the pure witness of the Paramatma Shri Shiva Sadashiva – neither
one, or the other, connecting them both.
It is thanks to his sense of responsibility and detached balance from
both left and right that we are sustained.
Hence to develop the Vishnu Tattwa in one, one needs to be both
responsible and balanced.
V4.21.May84.p34
(247)
It is very easy for a Yogi to say, ‘I am a Yogi, I am not interested in
material things’ – and it is true that one should remain detached, but
yet, Lord Vishnu is a far greater Yogi than most of us, and yet, through
the nerves in the body of the Virata, His energy flows to every minutest
aspect of material nature – transforming, enlightening and making all
auspicious. So, while detached, one should pay attention to ones
sustenance for, as realised souls, we are like the nerves in the body of
the Virata, and that enlightened energy, that flows into matter through
our attention, can enlighten it, so we act as instruments of the Lord.
V4.21.May84.p34
(248)
This is a very subtle point and one should not underestimate it, for the
key words are detachment and responsibility, and there are many
dangers for those not absolutely in the centre. If one is not detached
there is no point pretending that one is, for in the end ones suppressed
attachment and greed will rise up and hit one on the head when one
least expects it.
Rather, one should acknowledge what one is and witness it. We
cannot fight ourselves, we can only leave it to the Kundalini and the
Atma to work things out for us by constant practice of Sahaja Yoga –
shoe beating, foot soaking, Dhyana, etc – and since it all happens
automatically, there should be no room for ego intervention or mental
activity.
V4.21.May84.p34
(249)
Lord Vishnu is the one who oversees the four Ashramas, or ‘stages of
life’, and one of them is Grihastha, or ‘householder’. For a man who is
Atmasakshatari and a realised soul, such a thing can be a great
Tapasya – but without the collective cannot survive, and its evolution
and the drama which is the basis of the creation is harmed.
This drama is born of Divine Will and Desire and therefore that is
opposed.
In the West, one has an idea that Grihastha and marriage are given to
us to enjoy, and it is true that this is the outer manifestation, but there
is a deeper, hidden meaning, that by it we fulfil our duty to God who
has manifested as the Virata so that, in spite of being one with the
Atma, we accept the responsibility of matter, to be one with Him and
prove our Love and Bhakti for Him.
There is a very subtle and twisting play here, for the sadhaka seeking
the Atma gains it, but with it also matter, as tapasya this time and not
indulgence.
V4.21.May84.p35
(250)
If one accepts ones material responsibilities then one has to go down
into the world of filth and commonness, and our vibrations get spoilt.
However, we have been given the capacity to cleanse ourselves and by
doing so we clear our Mother’s creation and, in some small part, repay
to Her the enormous debt we owe Her. If we are not prepared to face
the world, we go against the Vishnu Tattwa, and his Shakti Sri Lakshmi
forsakes us. Further, we deny the fact of our birth and material
existence in this world gained through the grace and auspices of Lord
Vishnu supported by Lord Ganesha.
If we do not accept our responsibility to maintain our Lakshmi, it will be
hard for Sahaja Yoga to penetrate the material universe, for who will
build the Ashrams and hold the programmes? Often in Sahaja Yoga
one is asked to pay for this and that and people grumble, but they see
only the gross drama, not the deep subtle meaning: that one is being
asked to pay attention to the Lakshmi Vishnu Tattwa so that the Virata
can be enlightened by the enlightened Atmas we all possess by
Mother’s grace.
For the enlightenment to have this meaning, we should enlighten the
universe and enter gross matter regardless of the consequences for we
are pure Atma. V4.21.May84.p35
(251)
Sat-Chit-Anand is the superconsciousness.
A thought rises and falls. You can see rising of the thought but not the
falling. In between these thoughts there is a space called vilamba. If
you can stop for a while, you get the conscious mind and there exists
Sat-Chit-Anand. You can say it is the condition of mind where there is
not thought, but you are aware, Nirvichar.
This is the first stage where you jump into the superconscious. Your
first is Nirvichar – thoughtless, you become thoughtlessly aware. That
happens when the Kundalini rises above the Agnya chakra; meaning
enters into the limbic area when our attention just touches Sat point.
The reality separates from Mithya, illusion.
At that stage you start separating, like putting lime in the milk when it
starts separating into curd and water.
You can cure people with your Kundalini in the limbic area. I am very
anxious always that it should come out of Brahmarandhra. At last
stage you start getting the vibrations, but at this stage you are just
Chit only and you just touch the Sat point. Your attention is only
charmed by the Spirit.
V4.21.May84.p38
(252)
Only the attention part, as I told you, is like a flicker of light in a gas
lamp and Kundalini is like a gas which touches the Spirit and the light
of Spirit spreads in central nervous system. Chit part, the outer cover,
the Chitta, becomes the attention part. At that stage the Kundalini
opens the Brahmarandhra when you feel the vibrations from your hand
and you can feel other person’s also, because you become collectively
conscious, again out of Sat-Chit-Anand, that you just touch the Chit
part. Thus you start feeling the Chitta of your Chit becoming the Chitta
of collective consciousness. That means you can feel another person’s
Kundalini. The ego and superego are still there, but your attention has
come up and you feel the Chitta.
There is also a part of little enjoyment, and the Joy or Anand that is the
joy of enjoying another human being starts.
Samadhi does not mean going into unconscious, but the
unconscious becomes the conscious.
The universal unconscious becomes conscious.
V4.21.May84.p38
(253)
In the second stage you become Nirvikalpa, where there is no doubt.
The collective consciousness becomes subtler. You can understand
very deep significance of things, reality becomes clearer. You need not
put your hand towards the person, you know where he is catching,
what is the collective problem. You have no doubt about Sahaja Yoga,
Kundalini, Mastery of Kundalini starts. Such Sahaja Yogis are carefree
and live in a big way. They are not touchy. They have no time for
outside, gross matters; their attention is always deep into the subtle
part. They are the satisfied souls. After Nirvikalpa, the Ganesha
becomes really jagrut – awakened. Such a person is not tempted by
any woman. The stomach becomes the Dharma itself, Mooladhara
becomes the chastity itself.
When you get into the Nirvikalpa state, the Anand starts settling in
you, your consciousness become Anand. There is Chaitanya all around
which thinks, which understands, organises and loves us. Then the
Anand, which is the Hridaya (heart) starts emitting it, later on what you
get is Vilaya (dissolved) into Anand. At that stage Self Realisation
takes place. At that state you can control the Sun, the Moon, every
element. Beyond that there is God’s realisation. When you say
something, say it with devotion, dedication, understanding. Put in your
heart that whatever I am saying is a powerful mantra given to me by
the Adi Shakti Herself. We must establish our Ishwara Pranidhan.
V4.21.May84.p39
(254)
That’s why to understand this is only possible if you can understand
how to dedicate yourself, how to devote yourself. If you want to
analyse anything on the basis of your rationality, you are too stunned.
It’s too beyond you, it’s fantastic, it is too much. It’s really beyond you.
Now think of it: ‘You have got realisation, can you believe it?’ That you
can, in your lifetime…. if somebody had told you this, you would never
have believed it, that how can you get realisation in this birth? Of
course you were seeking, because people were saying you have to
seek, also you felt you have to seek, but you never thought that this
will materialise like this, that you will get your realisation. Then after
getting realisation, you could not feel what it was. As if you have been
dropped into the ocean and you don’t know what is the dimension of
this ocean. How far you have gone into it, what is it, where are we,
what is our purpose – to add up to all the mess, we become
thoughtless! So you cannot even find out as to rationality what it is.
V5.28.Jul85.p5
(255)
So in devotion of Sahaja Yoga one has to realise that the things that
are in Sahaja Yoga, that you have seen in Sahaja Yoga, are beyond
your mind – first thing.
Definitely they are beyond human conception. So, on human level you
do not discuss them, and you do not talk about it, but on the collective
level you can talk.
V5.28.Jul85.p
5
(256)
When you do something wrong many people are there who will say
that, ‘It is my left Swadisthana’.
Some will say, ‘I was possessed, there was a Bhoot.’
Somebody will blame something else.
Whatever you are blaming, actually, who is asking you the
explanation? It is only you asking yourself. You are not facing
yourself.
So the devotion actually means facing yourself first of all and see
for yourself what you are doing.
V5.28.Jul85.p5
(257)
Detaching from belongings.
So, you know till the last end we are holding on to something very
little there. If this, even a little bit holding the sari, you know that that
can hold the whole sari. Even little bit is attaching to this sari, the sari
can be held back.
The whole thing you can hold it, with one little pin. All these small pins
that are there, the hang-ups are to be denied, to be seen, going
further. Look at yourself, ‘Oh, that’s Mr Ego alright. Now let me see
how you go back.’
To see all those things. You see as a play you should see yourself.
And then play tricks with your ego and superego.
Actually, they are playing tricks with you.
Once you are a master, you play tricks with them.
V5.28.Jul85.p7
(258)
So many times I have seen. I have seen so many things, and then
again after some time people start talking about it. Within one or two
months after that, it comes as a scientific proof of things, like that, you
have seen that, many a times it has happened.
Now when I say something I’m sure about what I say. I never say
anything but the truth. I know that I am saying only the truth, but I do
not go inside and find out whether it is truth or not, I do not read a
book to find out. I do not ask you. I have full faith in myself; whatever
I say is the truth, I know for definite that whatever I say comes out
truth. But that is not your case, that whatever you say is the truth.
You have to establish it by dedication.
V5.28.Jul85.p7
(259)
Our compassion has to flow to others.
It’s a simple business. In this respect one has to understand that the
source cannot flow unless and until it expands the flow of it, like the
River Thames. We went to see the place from where it starts. It is a
small, little stream from seven streams – little, little, very little, little –
we can say trickling down – it has become the River Thames.
Supposing it does not widen, that will stop at the beginning only. It
cannot come out, it cannot flow. It is not because it is angry or upset,
or anything like that, but because of the nature of its flow only, it
cannot flow, what to do?
So that is what it is, that one has to give compassion to others. It
should not be formal compassion, or the affected one, but it should be
a natural one, very natural, spontaneous feeling from within. It is not
an expression of your ego, superego or over sentimentality, but is a
kind of an understanding that he is a Sahaja Yogi, you are a Sahaja
Yogi, you are brothers. Not the way brothers have been, but a
different type of brothers who are spiritual brothers. You are spiritual
people.
V5.28.Jul85.p10
(260)
Be Motherly
So this compassion has to be there and unless and until you develop
that compassionate, fatherly or motherly feeling for others … I mean, I
am the Mother of a person who is about a hundred and eight years of
age. You have to really mother others and have that feeling of
Compassion and love for others. You don’t have to think about your
own comfort, you don’t have to think about the comfort of others. You
have to think what you can do to make others comfortable than to see
what will make you comfortable.
V5.28.Jul85.p10
(261)
Whatever I have said to you is just to put you into a condition where
you start sucking the vibrations as well as giving the vibrations. It is an
action; it is a happening that should take place within you.
It is not rationality, it is not thinking about it.
Only by saying these things I really stun your thinking.
You should allow this to happen to you.
Just with the vibratory awareness you should judge yourself. ‘Am I the
one who is giving vibrations to others? Am I the one who has stored
these vibrations, or am I getting ruined?’
All this will give you a great meaning and an employment, as I said,
‘Employed by God.’
V5.28.Jul85.p12
(262)
You have sent hat sometimes only shouting at the bhoots they go
away, and many mad people have been cured like that, but you do not
do all that, that’s for Me.
You must always be decent, with decorum and all that, but if the anger
is because of your nature, or a tendency, or out of control, then it is a
bad thing. If you get into a temper because it is out of control, then it
is a bad thing. I can get very angry but I am completely under
control. I know why I am angry, where the bhoot is, where he is
running away, I can see that. But you can’t see the bhoot, you can’t
see anything, so there is no need for you to get angry or show temper.
But if you have an anger, say, for example, which is uncontrollable,
then there is a mantra for that: Shanti ‘Ya Devi Sarva bhooteshu,
Shanti Roopena Samsthita’
V5.28.Jul85.p12
(263)
Q. What are your plans?
Sri Mataji: What are my plans? I don’t plan. You see, I don’t plan
because I don’t know how far my instruments are ready, you see.
First, now, my only plan, if I have any is to really prepare my weapons
alright. Once they are done, then we will fix them up. You see, unless
and until you know how far your bomb can fall, how can you plan it?
So, first of all I must measure up the power of my children, how
powerful they are. That’s what I’m trying to do now, to make them
aware of their powers, to use. Like Hanumana when he was born, and
when he grew up he forgot his powers. It looks like a dormant position,
but it is there. If you just try to remember them, it will come. They
have tremendous power, these people have tremendous powers, but
they have to assume and stand on that. If they do not do it … you see,
if I tell them, ‘Now go to this house, ‘Oh Mother, there may be a bhoot
there sitting.’ A person comes possessed into the Ashram; they all
shut their doors, ‘Oh God, this bhoot has come!’, or something, then
what’s the use?
V5.28.Jul85.p13
(264)
Truth is one.
What is there to argue?
You have all seen these saints, you see, those who have talked about
Me. What do they say? Everybody says the same thing about Me.
There cannot be any fight between saints, can there be?
If truth is one how can there be fight?
But, because one is inadequate, another is dominating.
Both must achieve that state.
But the best is to behave more dignified, more grown up, more
patronising. People will definitely take to you, because you will
become the leader.
Arguments are not going to lead you anywhere, I can tell you this
much. No use arguing among yourselves. If you have to argue, you
have to argue with others, not among yourselves.
V5.28.Jul85.p15
(265)
That is how the attention can be fixed very well if you practice –
abhyasa – practice all the time to be a witness. Say, you go out, you
see something, just try to see it, not to think about it, be a witness to
the whole thing. The joy will be complete and also you will become
completely peaceful. Your attention will be completely enlightened,
and then the inspiration you get will be tremendous.
… See it is working out. Working out. Try to watch. And it has such a
tremendous memory, if you know how to watch. I mean, to Me, if I see
something, I mean, to me it is just like a film in my mind. If I have seen
this room, now I know what’s this, the design everything I know. How
you sitting, what pose you have taken, how you were, what it,
everything is like a design. You see it comes to Me, just like a
picture, absolutely. Not of this life, but lives.
V5.28.Jul85.p17
(266)
Q. Mother perhaps you can see the beauty because you are the artist.
Shri Mataji: I am the artist and I am the art, but what about you? You
are the one who is created, and you can create, and you can become
the artist.
That is what I am saying. That you are not only the light, but the light
that will give light to others, and also you will sustain that light which
you have given light. This is the difference now between you and other
people. Not that only you will be the artist but you’ll enjoy the art of
the artist.
This is what you have got, you do not know, you are not aware of your
powers. It is a dynamic thing which has happened to you which you
should take to.
V5.28.Jul85.p18
(267)
Change your attitudes. Try to see good in others. Try to see. I am not
saying for other people, but I am saying at least for Sahaja Yoga you
can do it. Try to see good in them; what good they have done to
Sahaja Yoga, what you them, how to get along with them. Why not see
the good in them?
By giving them encouragement, by being good to them, you are
helping Sahaja Yoga.
But you want to help your ego, because you are very wise. So then
only, you have better relationship. This is a very simple fact.
You see any film, two people talking as if they are barking at each
other. What does it take to be kind, to be gentle, to say pleasant
things? As soon as they will see a person, ‘Oh God! You have become
very ugly’, this is the best complement! This is human nature, to see
the fault of others, to see the wrong things of others. You see they will
find out anything. Somebody is very tidy, then that person is bad.
Somebody is very untidy, then that person is bad – every sort of thing,
but why not you do something about yourself?
V5.28.Jul85.p19
(268)
But why not you do something about yourself?
That there is something inside you that is not tidy, and is inside you
that is very upsetting. To Me it makes no difference, you have seen it.
If you say, ‘I will sleep here, I will sleep on the grass there.’ To Me, it
makes no difference. To what bathroom I go, I do not even remember
all those things. What is there to remember in a bathroom, and this
and that? All nonsense it is. I have no memory for all this thing. Even
if you want me to know, I’ll not remember. If you ask me, ‘How did you
go to that bathroom?’; ‘Which one?’, ‘That one’. It is alright, I have
been there.
Then food. What sort of taste it was, what food it was, and all sorts of
things people go on thinking about. What is the use? The whole food
is just going to be digested in the same stomach. What is there to be
so much worried about all this? We are wasting our energy. I have no
energy for wasting.
V5.28.Jul85.p19
(269)
I do not waste my energy. I have no energy for wasting. In the same
way, why do you waste your energy? Why not see to the better side of
man? By seeing bad side, if you can cure it, well and good, but if you
are not going to cure it, you are yourself going to get bad. If you can
cure it, nothing like it, but you cannot.
Also, always people say, ‘I would not do that’, but you would do
something else that the other person would not do. When judging
others, one should judge oneself first of all because with what are you
judging? – with your ego and superego. I have seen it is a very
common failing which should not be there anymore.
Now you are realised souls, you are Saints, and the Saints- though
olden saints might be doing whatever they did – forget them – but you
people are not going to see the faults of each other, but to the good
points of everyone.
V5.28.Jul85.p19
(270)
Q. Mother, some Sahaja Yogis have been in Sahaja Yoga for a long
time, but don’t feel any cool breeze, they don’t feel any catches.
Sri Mataji: To begin with it has something to do with your nerves, so, if
your nervous system is disturbed you may not feel at all. For the
nervous system best thing to do is massage. Somebody should
massage their back, hands also. I have told you many times that if you
rub your hands with vibrated olive oil quite a lot, and rub these things
till they become sensitive. Could be with insensitivity. But if they can
feel the catches in the body, that means they are alright, only their
Vishuddhi is not alright. Rub the thing on the Vishuddhi. Work on the
Vishuddhi, clear it out. And for the Vishuddhi, if you can use, say
butter, to rub on the Vishuddhi chakra front and back and rub all these
muscles with that, all these things will work out for your hands.
V5.28.Jul85.p20
(271)
But supposing there is no cool breeze coming out of the head, what is
that due to?
Then realisation is not yet established. See, other people should say if
there is cool breeze coming, because a person who is not realised may
not feel it.
Supposing he does not feel it, and you feel it, then he is realised, only
thing his chakras are to be cleared out.
It is a different category of people. then there are some people whose
Kundalini has not risen, there are still Sahaja Yogis like that maybe, I
do not know if there are any. Those people who are unmarried for
long, they are very difficult, because they never feel the cool breeze in
the hand, quite a lot like that. But you see it is not so, they are
realised souls. In any case they may not feel it but they are realised
souls, you see. Because a kind of softness, a kind of balance, is
developed after marriage which is not there, and that is how some
people do not feel.
There are various reasons. Some people who are ego oriented, more
they should turn their left to the right many a times. They should find
out, from the hands, if one hand is bigger than the other. If the left
hand is smaller means that you have to raise left to right, put one hand
towards the photograph and one outside. But symptoms are mostly
outside. From a personality you can see what he is catching.
V5.28.Jul85.p20
(272)
Now, out of eleven … the Ekadashas means eleven, the five come from
the right side of your void, and five from the left side of your void. The
first five on the left-hand side come from … if you have bowed yourself
to wrong gurus, or if you have read wrong books, or if you have been in
the company of wrong people, or if you have been sympathetic to
people who have been following wrong paths, or you have been
yourself one of the agents or guru of these wrong people.
Now these five problems can be solved, if we completely give up
whatever wrong we have been doing. As Mohammad Sahib has said
that you have to beat the Shaitan, means the Satan, with shoes, but
that has to be done, not mechanically, but from your heart.
People who get involved with their family and try to take them out
from those gurus… also get entangled, or some of them yield to others’
forces.
V5.28.Jul85.p22
(273)
So when the Ekadasha stars acting on these five sides on the right, we
should say it moves to the right side, because it comes from the left
and moves to the right side … then a person starts becoming negative
but acting with his ego. Such a person may take up a situation into his
hand say that, ‘I am such and such Sahaja Yogi and I am so … we
should do like this and we should behave like this’, and start dictating,
people can do anything. And some mediocre and half-baked Sahaja
Yogis may try to understand, but will know that ‘this fellow is going out,
now he is on his way out’. So all these things: destructive and
negative forces, yielding to family pressure, lead to this left side
development, or we can call it on the head … on the right hand side of
your Medha. This plate, brain plate, is called Medha in Sanskrit
language.
V5.28.Jul85.p23
(274)
Now the right-sided Ekadasha comes from the idea people have that ‘I
am myself a big Guru’. They start preaching about Sahaja Yoga also as
if they have become great Gurus. We have known some people who
give big lectures in any programmes and never allow tape to be played
or anything. They think they have now become experts. Then some of
them say that now we have become so great that we need not do any
foot-soaking or anything, there is not need to do meditation, there are
some like that also, and then there are some who say that sin can
never touch us now we are Sahaja Yogis, we are very great evolved
souls. But the worst of all are those who just take my name, saying
that, ‘Mother has said so and so and I am telling you because Mother
has said’, when I have never said such a thing; it is all falsehood. Now
there are some people who use Sahaja money and exploit Sahaja Yogis
in such a way, exploit them also sometimes, and such people become
very inauspicious. Anyone who tries such things will go out of Sahaja
Yoga in disgrace, but one should never go near such a person, have
nothing to do with such a person, have no sympathies, because this
inauspiciousness will hurt anyone to any extent, so better keep of such
persons. When these 10 Ekadashas develop within a person such a
person can develop diseases like cancer and incurable, dirty diseases,
especially if they combine with Agnya. Be careful about your Agnya
chakra. V5.28.Jul85.p23
(275)
Today is a special day when it has been asked that we should have
Ekadasha Rudra Pooja. And it is for all kinds of false religious sects and
false gurus and false religions which are followed in the name of God,
or, any religion that does not say about self realisation and does not
achieve self realisation and does not get connected with God … is
false. So, any such thing that is just faith and talks of God but has no
connection with God cannot be a true religion. Of course it gives
balance to people, but in giving that balance if people live on that
money and try to enjoy a wealth out of that money, then it is not even
at the lowest level of religion. Like a balance, you see, religion has to
give a balance to begin with, but in that balancing, when they tell ‘you
have to be balanced, but give me money for that, you must give me
money, give me all your purse, give me everything’, then that cannot
be balanced, it does not even have the slightest thing or the blessings
of God. Or any religion that makes you bow to anybody else but an
incarnation is not a religion, that is another one which is absolutely
false. The real religion will give you a balance and will always talk
about the ascent, but they will not ask for money or make one
something great as venerated. Discriminate through your vibrations.
V5.28.Jul85.p26
(276)
The Goddess protects her children.
So, there are many miracles that take place in your life. When you see
an accident taking place, suddenly you find the accident is over. There
was one fellow who was a journalist called Marathe. He and his friends,
another journalist, were coming from Lonavla, down, and it is a very
big slopey road, ghat, and their brakes failed, and the driver said, ‘Now
the brakes have failed and you take God’s name’, and they started
remembering their Mother, and suddenly they saw a big truck coming
ahead. They were about to bang into that, they closed their eyes and,
God knows what happened, they opened their eyes and saw the truck
was going forward and upward and they were moving forward and
downwards without any difficulties. And they were amazed how it has
happened, as if somebody has lifted their car and put it before the
truck, and they have been saved. And the driver closed his eyes and
took the name of Mother. It is possible! It has happened so many
times, with so many people that they do not know how it works out. So
one has to believe that we have Mother in our hearts and She is going
to give all the protection that is needed and there is nothing to be
afraid of anything. V5.28.Jul85.p31
(277)
People get nervous, plan too much, think too much, analyse too much,
and their ego settles down into their brains and ultimately covers their
heart, they get a fright. It is very common in the East. In India
anybody, even a chaprasi (peon) can shout at you for nothing at all.
It is such a vicious circle. So the whole system works out into such a
terrible insecurity that you do not understand what there is to bark at.
What is there to shout at? And then a kind of identification with
falsehood is built up so much that you are no longer a human being,
you are either a secretary or under secretary, or a joint secretary, I do
not know who is the higher or the lower, and you are nothing else but
that, and you must have these horns otherwise nobody is going to
believe that you are something, so it is such an identification that
develops into human beings because your heart is not developed
properly, you know your Mother has given you birth and you are a
human being. There is no need to have any fear from another human
being who is also a child of your Mother. So there has to be no fear
about it.
V5.28.Jul85.p32
(278)
Mother, I know you know all about me, but I don’t know how you know!
Because She is avalokiteshvari.
She is the one who sees everything, She knows somehow or other.
She knows, How She knows, that cannot be explained at this stage, But
She knows each and everything what you are doing.
She wants to know. She plays tricks on you in such a beautiful way
that you cannot make it out, you try to do anything and ultimately you
discover that everything she knows.
V5.28.Jul85.p34
(279)
You have to learn to please your Mother,
and that is why the time has come for children to learn through making
errors, through making mistakes and understanding what mistakes we
are making and how we have to correct it. Once they start
understanding it, then it is very easy, very easy to communicate to
them what they are supposed to do, what they have done is wrong and
how to correct it.
But, as long as they think that they are very wise, as long as they think
they are very nice people, and that they are on their own, Mother says,
‘Alright, go ahead, doesn’t matter’.
So the whole attitude of a person gradually changes towards the
Mother, and he starts thinking, ‘She is here for my well-being and my
well-being is Her only concern about me.’ When such an attitude is
developed, it is much easier to establish a disciple.
V5.28.Jul85.p35
(280)
You have to be of that level that when you try to cure a person you do
not become a supraconscious personality, means you do not become
ego-oriented. But they do, ultimately, all of them. Those who have
tried to cure other people (without using Mother’s picture) and do like
that, they have gone out of Sahaja Yoga completely, becoming just like
mediums.
So it is important for people who get realisation not to indulge in any
curing, because they will develop this centre heart very much.
Centre heart can be developed in countries where there is all fear,
people are frightened. It can be developed by other things by which
people are frightened, reading books of bad gurus and reading about
shocking things, like many people who have read ‘Kundalini’s’ books
have got centre heart because they are so frightened about the
Kundalini!
Anything that frightens you, if you read, can make your heart very,
very weak and dangerous.
V5.28.Jul85.p37
(281)
Now, according to Christ we have to have non-adulterous eyes, there
should be no adultery. The word adultery in the pure sense is not so
bad. Adultery means there should not be any mixture of what exists,
simple as that. When we say there is adulteration in the milk we mean
that it’s not purely milk, but there’s something else in it. So, when you
look at things, say this is a wall; a wall is a wall, that’s all, what is there
to think about? But a person who is not a realised soul will
immediately start thinking about a wall even.
Now, when he said, ‘Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes’ – of course,
the adultery as we understand it, is that we should not have lust in our
eyes – but I would go still further to say that our attention has to be so
pure that we should not have any idea of return coming to us from a
particular things, but just enjoying it, just the joy part of it.
If I see a beautiful thing, then I am just enjoying it, not that I should
possess it, nor should I think about it, nor do I need to repeat it. Just
enjoy it as it is. Maybe if you just enjoy it, you will just create it again.
That’s the capacity one should have of purification.
V4.19 Jan84. p4
(282)
Whatever you have done is through spontaneity, because the
Unconscious has helped you, has given you the idea, the inspiration;
you have done everything through inspiriting and not by your own
thinking.
Now, there we do not want to agree, because we have to give up our
ego, because we think we have achieved it through our thinking. But
when you think too much, too much, too much, like that, then what
happens? The Unconscious gives you the necessary information
because it has compassion, it just has love for you and suddenly you
find something there. You are just pushed into that corner where you
find it, and for this you must know it is Einstein is the person who says
that the theory of relativity dawned on him from somewhere unknown;
whatever is known is already there.
And whatever is unknown you cannot find out by this brain
which is thinking, but by the brain which is enlightened.
V4.19 Jan84
(283)
Now in English language there are no names given to joy, there is only
one word, joy, and I find it sometimes difficult to describe the different
kinds of joy that you can have at different levels of your evolution, but
when you get to Sahasrara, the joy is called Nirananda.
Now Nira is my name, you know that. Ananda means joy. Nira means
there is nothing else but joy. There is complete joy, no reaction,
nothing, just submerged in joy.
That quality also evolves through the quality of Shri Ganesha. It’s the
Shri Ganesha who evolves that quality of Nirananda within us. He goes
into evolution gradually as you see; up to Agnya chakra he becomes
Christ.
That doesn’t mean he goes into evolution, but we can see a seed
growing into that tree and ultimately, what we find, that we are sitting
on top of that tree – in joy like children, the Joy that our Heavenly
Father has bestowed upon us at the Sahasrara.
V4.19 Jan84
(284)
At Chowk, near Khopoli, Maharashtra, Sat 11 Dec 1983
In the past many great Saints and Sadhus were born in Maharashtra.
They have shown the correct way to us.
They taught about religion and of the practice of religion. The y spread
the knowledge of the soul and always emphasised that without
realisation of the Self, everything in this life was unstable and unreal.
Every one of you have come to Sahaja Yoga and got your Realisation,
your Self Realisation. You are realised souls. You are Saints and
Sadhus. The Saints and Sadhus of the bygone days may not have
assembled together as you have done here today.
This land has been sanctified by your presence. On two sides of this
land are the abodes of Shri Ganesha. In the front there is a temple of
Shri Shankar, known as Vaijnath, and at the back there is the abode of
Shri Dattatreya. The thought of having a school in such a beautiful
surroundings has been engaging my attention since long. Now Shri
Bharwani has graciously donated this land. I feel that the school
project should come up at an early date.
V4.19 Jan.84
(285)
Many newsmen wonder and ask me how Sahaja Yoga has produced so
many scholars, they say whenever they discuss with any Sahaja Yogi
he talks like a pundit. They are surprised as to how you are all
transformed into the image of Sant Kabirdas. The answer is simple. In
Sahaja Yoga the intellect becomes sharp and pointed like a needle.
Not only that, but the whole store of knowledge is wide open before
you.
If so, someone may ask, what is the necessity for a school?
I will give an example. A person may have no knowledge of painting.
He can, even then, tell you the different colours or the colour
combination in the painting, but, unless you have the special skill, you
cannot produce the different combinations and give form to the
painting. You may call it the technique. Unless you know the
technique you cannot give proper shape to your work. Without the
technique it remains without any shape. Therefore, in order to give
your work the proper shape, you ought to know the technique.
The students of our school will be taught the proper technique.
V4.19 Jan84
(286)
In the first place, the knowledge of Shri Vidya, or ‘pure knowledge’ will
be imparted to the students of this school. Pure Knowledge means
knowledge which enables you to stabilise the Kundalini, the giving of
bandhans, as also the knowledge of giving self-realisation to others;
such knowledge will be imparted here.
You may be surprised that many realised people and great Gurus I
have met are not aware of Shri Vidya. They do not even know how to
raise the Kundalini. They do not know the chakras or the process of
cleaning the chakras. The vibrations do their work. What is, however,
necessary, is the control over their movement or manoeuvring. This
will be the principal subject in our school. This knowledge will be
imparted to every student of the school from his early childhood.
V4.19 Jan84
(287)
In the second place, education is necessary for earning a livelihood. In
Sahaja Yoga there are no sanyas or renunciation of worldly ties. You
have to achieve your object while leading a normal life. There has to
be non-attachment to worldly pleasures while leading a normal life.
Therefore education is also necessary for leading a normal life.
Moreover, in order to convey your knowledge to others you must know
the science of the alphabets and language.
Therefore arrangements for imparting such knowledge are also to be
made.
V4.19 Jan84
(288)
Now the men, when they are dominating, they have to understand that
they have to be compassionate. They have to be kind; they have to be
considerate, but never subservient.
Now, the women, what do they have to be? Is to be, great, large,
receptive. Receiving and nourishing and all that.
Now the way husbands are told in this West, I am shocked. Wife says
this to Mr X, ‘X, you haven’t done this. X you haven’t done that. How
have you put this? Do this, do that, do that!’ It’s not a woman’s wish
to do it, it’s absolutely wrong to tell him to do it, to tell him to do
something. You are becoming a male! And then we lose completely
that power of giving nourishment of a woman’s love, which is the
power of a woman, which women don’t understand. A woman must be
nourishing.
V4.19 Jan84
(289)
Now see, what is the situation as a man, as a masculine effect on the
development of consciousness? So, as the manliness was expressed,
we have developed science. We have developed all this knowledge, all
these things which are outside. Now everything is ready. Now the
woman has to come up, I mean, I am saying in the very abstract way;
don’t think of ‘woman’, but you can say the ‘feminine’. The feminine
nature has to rise.
Now everything is ready. It just has to work. All the chakras are ready,
now awaken the Kundalini. Kundalini is as important as the other
chakras are. So now awaken the Kundalini. Now Kundalini’s behaviour
and mode of action is very different from the mode of action of the
chakras. If the Kundalini becomes the chakras, the chakras become
the Kundalini, how will you manage Sahaja Yoga? But we must
assume our own nature in all dignity and alright; not to feel in any way
low down. Because a man sits on a horse, a woman wants to sit on a
horse. What is the need for a woman to sit on a horse? I can’t
understand. Here all the women are sitting on horses! They will
become like horses! Already I think half of your royal family looks like
horses, don’t they? See. So there is no need for women to do all the
things that men have already done.
V4.19 Jan84
(290)
But also, femininity, at a lower level, without realisation, could be very
small hearted, chicken hearted, could be all of the time worried about
her own child.
That’s what one has to change, is to be… have love and affection for
every Sahaja Yogi, for every person. When it comes to fighting
others, you are all One, but among yourselves you can look after each
other, tell them, say, for example, something is paining in my nose
here, I will just try to rub it, in the same way. But I won’t try to cut off
my nose, will I? Or bang my nose? So, the feeling that the other is
myself; be kind and gentle, try to improve, and help in that manner.
I hope you have understood the whole thing. In a nutshell is that: we
have to change the whole mode; a radical change has come in the
society of Sahaja Yogis.
V4.19 Jan84
(291)
Q: Mother, is it alright to hurt people for their own good?
Shri Mataji: This problem comes in when you are not the whole,
alright? Now supposing, as I told you, if you are the Whole, then who is
the other? Then you will, even if you have to hurt. Say, for example,
if there is blood coming out of my thumb, I press it hard to stop the
blood. It will hurt the thumb, but discrimination must be used, that I’m
oozing my blood, which is precious, much more precious that this
finger it will hurt. But that discretion must be used. In Sahaja Yoga
you’re all free to develop your sense of discretion, and gradually you
will know what to do. In the beginning you will hurt, not doubt,
because you are used to that. In the whole country I’ve seen people
just barking at each other for nothing. But, after realisation, you do so,
because you feel concerned and worried. But you say in such a way
that you achieve the result. See my point is, that is the criteria that
you should achieve the result.
But supposing a man has come for the first time and you tell him that,
‘You are a bhoot’, then naturally he will be hurt! Thank God if he does
not understand the meaning of the word bhoot, then it’s alright.
V4.19 Jan84
(292)
Women do not lose your sweetness.
Women have very little sweet things that they do to make men very
happy, but women have lost now, that sense. Not the fighting, but
thinking what sweet thing you can do. And also sometimes teasing is
alright, sometimes tickling, but a kind of, you see, rapport between
each other; even the feeling that we can do that, looking after the
other’s comforts. It’s a master’s job. The one who is a master can do
it, those who are not, will not do like this. They’ll again come back to
hurt. Ultimately, they’ll land up hurting or biting or coming to blows.
But those who are masters will be so beautifully doing the job that, you
see a kind of very sweet relationship, it’s called Madhurya. Without any
lust, without any money business, and the joy would be bubbling. All
these perversions and things will drop off.
But a very sweet relationship, alright?
Even saying that, you are feeling happy.
V4.19 Jan84

To overcome your ego, if you stand out from your obstructions, you will
be able to understand that, these obstructions are standing in your
way, and they are not your own, and that they are stopping your
progress. So you should let these misidentifications out of your minds
completely, and try to be more and more your Self, and not tune in
with misidentifications.
It is a tremendous task and for that, and if you are the people who
have to fight it, you have to understand it in its full extent and also
understand where you stand for it, how much you have to improve
yourself, because you are the people who are going to take Sahaja
Yoga to that position where it has to reach.
As far as I ma concerned, I have nothing to do anymore. I have done
it.
Now it is for you to receive, you have to imbibe into it and you have to
change the whole thing.
That is your job, and that is why it is a serious matter.
The second point; I have always being saying, that due to ego problem,
we are very much disintegrated, so that the connection with the Divine
is never properly established, if you remain disintegrated, you cannot
get that connection.

I never say fight the ego, but surrender it.
That is why the progress in the West, as you have seen, is much less
that it is in India. Take the case of Shri Venugopalan, he is remarkable.
He is holding a very big position in India. Here I have seen a person
who is, say, a dishwasher, he comes to Sahaja Yoga, still his ego is so
big. Even our Prime Minister won’t have such a big ego and he has. I
mean, the way he will talk that, ‘I don’t like it. I don’t do these things’
and so on. I am myself amazed, the way people talk. As if, you see,
everybody had become the King of England, or what, the way people
talk. This is something one should tell people when they come here,
‘Do not waste Shri Mataji’s energies in arguing this an that’, because
everybody thinks no end of themselves here, and that is the biggest
hurdle that they have, when they even come for the first time. You find
it so difficult. I have to show all my appreciation of their ego all the
time, just to satisfy them, so they come round. And that is why
progress becomes less.
We must understand that we have a very great responsibility in the
West.

Now in his case (Mr Venugopalan), he has been a person who has been
to all kinds of horrible Gurus, and his wife also has been to all kinds of
horrible Gurus – because of another extreme in India we have, that we
must respect all the Saints, but these types of saints are fake saints.
Not only are they fake saints, but some of them are devils, so they are
not going to say that, ‘we are devils’. When they do not say that they
are devils, or whatever it is, is they do not come in their proper forms.
These simple, innocent people who are just seeking God, just go to
them, leave their heart, do everything, and then find that they are
devils. Once they discover that they are devils, they are surprised.
Then they come back and go to another Guru and another Guru, but
the harm is done.
But they get rid of that harm, because they recognise that the harm
has been done and they know what the truth is and what to expect. It
is the blessing of that country that the people know what to expect.

Be careful of false gurus.
You see people like these good quality people in India would not like to
go and will not go to a man who shows some sort of
sensationalisations, or Chamat-Karas – miracles, but they would go to
other, subtler people, who are very cunning and put up another kind of
show and just say, ‘No, no, this is the way you can attain the highest’,
and that is how most of the Sahaja Yogis in India have been, except for
the village people and the district people; most of the city people have
been to some guru or something.
But despite all that, they have left everything. I have told them. You
have to beat them with shoes, they will do. In the morning, every day
he does his sadhana (meditation) for one hour, even he is a busy man.
Here (in the West), even to get up in the morning, people grudge. I
mean what can you do with such slow moving people. You see it is
absolutely difficult.
We must understand that we have a very great responsibility because
this has to happen in England to begin with. V4.19
Jan84
(297)
If you see an Indian Sahaja Yogi, you will be amazed. He sleeps only
for two or three or four hours, but he will not give up his sadhana. If he
can get his full sleep it is alright.
First thing is to have one hour for sadhana in the morning. He will get
it out somehow.
But sleep! We have been sleeping all our lives!
You have to correct yourself.
You have to rise. You have to go ahead to achieve your own.
That is the point.
V4.19 Jan84
(298) On one side I find such stupid people,
See your selfishness, I am telling. and on the other, a host of genuine seekers.
To know your Self is the greatest selfishness. How to reach them?
If you do not know your Self, all the selfishness, that is useless as you They are like a diamond covered in mud!

They may miss it.
V4.19 Jan84

(299)
Under the circumstances one has to talk about truth, but mere talking
about truth rarely leads to the experience of truth.
It is altogether a different realm, a new awareness, which you will have
to get to understand the truth, for which I do not know how many of
you are really prepared, or how many of you would like to know.
Or, even if you would like to do it, yet, how many of you will really
achieve it?
But the problem is the other way round.
It is not a problem that we have only a few people, not that I cannot
give realisation. It is also not a problem that you cannot know the
truth.
The irony is that whatever is false, spurious or silly, finds quick
acceptance among the masses.
But nothing is for sale here; you just have to start asking for it.
