(601) Hindus believe that without Yoga there is no sense. ‘Yoga Kshema Vahamyaham’, Krishna has said that all the time you seek Yoga, what are you seeking? All these treatises and all the big books and all the scriptures are aiming at what? Even those who talk, ‘You must live with dharma, you must live balanced lives’, for what? Why do we do it? What is the destination? … And the destination is the Spirit. And today the background is so black and so dark that his solution is the end of everything. But do we realise this? On the contrary, the vicious circle builds within us. All the time, ‘Oh, see how the world is miserable. How can I be happy? I am so unhappy in life.’ I have yet to come across a person before realisation saying that ‘I am a happy person’. Maybe ego-oriented people might say that ‘I am happy’, meaning ‘my ego is’, you see, if he goes in a smart car or something like that, he is very happy, on top of the world, after ten minutes you see him… and this vicious circle has set in. Another vicious circle and another, we go on from one to another, moving on the wheels after wheels, without realising where we are going. And this vicious circle has to be broken, by one faith, by one understanding: That God is forgiveness, God is Love. V.5. No26.Mar 85.p32 (602) When we feel lover for anyone without any lust or greed, that is God’s love within us. That he is the embodiment of that Pure Love, which just loves, which has given you this beautiful human life and wants to make you more beautiful. He created all this creation for you. And that He wants you to enjoy the counties of this creation. He wants you to enjoy the citizens of His realm, and the Kingdom of His grace. V.5. No26.Mar 85.p33 (603) Count your blessings one by one. That’s what one has to do. Is to have complete understanding that He is God Almighty, He can do anything that He likes. And we are the recipient of All His Might. He is the Ocean of love and we are the recipient of His love. Let us feel that within ourselves, and understand logically with wisdom. If this sets into your mind, I think that’s the best conditioning we humans can have. What you call in Sanskrit, the ‘susanskara’, means the auspicious conditionings. You see, we don’t have only conditioning and ego; we have a third thing also, called good-conditioning. The conditionings that have ruined your chances of enjoyment let it be brought round, and see for yourself. Logically you can see how much He’s done for you. He has made you in His own image. He has done everything beautifully. After realisation you start understanding your Self and enjoying your Self as you enjoy others. The fragrance of others you start enjoying. Self- realisation is the only way you can get the light in. Enlightenment. V.5. No26.Mar 85.p33 (604) Psychoanalysts! The other day we had a girl, she came to see me and she said, ‘The psychoanalysts made me mad.’ I said, ‘Why?’…

Even those who talk, ‘You must live with dharma, you must live balanced lives’, for what? Why do we do it?

V.5. No26.Mar 85.p32

(602)When we feel lover for anyone without any lust or greed, that is God’s love within us.That he is the embodiment of that Pure Love, which just loves, which has given you this beautiful human life and wants to make you more beautiful.He created all this creation for you.And that He wants you to enjoy the counties of this creation. He wants you to enjoy the citizens of His realm, and the Kingdom of His grace.

V.5. No26.Mar 85.p33

(603)Count your blessings one by one.

That’s what one has to do. Is to have complete understanding that He is God Almighty, He can do anything that He likes. And we are the recipient of All His Might.He is the Ocean of love and we are the recipient of His love.Let us feel that within ourselves, and understand logically with wisdom. If this sets into your mind, I think that’s the best conditioning we humans can have.What you call in Sanskrit, the ‘susanskara’, means the auspicious conditionings. You see, we don’t have only conditioning and ego; we have a third thing also, called good-conditioning.The conditionings that have ruined your chances of enjoyment let it be brought round, and see for yourself. Logically you can see how much He’s done for you.He has made you in His own image.He has done everything beautifully.After realisation you start understanding your Self and enjoying your Self as you enjoy others.The fragrance of others you start enjoying. Self-realisation is the only way you can get the light in.Enlightenment. V.5. No26.Mar 85.p33

(604)Psychoanalysts!The other day we had a girl, she came to see me and she said, ‘The psychoanalysts made me mad.’ I said, ‘Why?’…‘They said I had a bad relationship with my mother, a bad relationship with my father, a bad relationship with every third person, I don’t have. I have absolutely pure relationship. They tried to put that idea into my head that there’s something abnormal, pathological about me, which I’m not. And they are making my brother’s relationship also funny, by telling him that I have bad relationship with him.’ This is it. She hit at the point of pure love. Disintegrate. You can’t have good relationship with your own mother, father, sister, brother, nobody.Because you cannot love except that you are sex points, you have just relationship of sex.God has created you in your own glory, and in your own dignity, He’s not created you to be only wasted like this. V.5. No26.Mar 85.p34

Page 2: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

(605) AThen the second thing that disintegrates us very much more is the idea that we are to here to live in a gross way. Somehow fighting, political, economic, all this nonsensical progress we are making. And all destructive forces are explained in the name of political and economic growth. I don’t know if it is growth, but definitely it is not love. The economics and politics of God have to be understood. In his economics, generosity is the key not. He enjoys His generosity. Material things are to express your generosity, isn’t it? What are they for? The most enjoyable thing is to give, and when you will give you will your economic problems will be solved completely. Because you are to give and not to take. The problems are because you want to grab. Once you start giving you get as much as you want, because if there is no outlet, there is no joy, there is no happiness; there is no relief from the material domination on you. But giving is the way you can get rid of that material domination on you head that you give away. Give away everything that you have and you will be surprised how it flows.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p34

(605) BNow, when I say that it is fantastic the way it acts, it is fantastic the way it acts, I mean it’s easy to sort of say that Mother is saying something which is miraculous. But what do you think of Moses crossing the sea?You mean it was miraculous, or it was a false story. What do you think of it? It was absolutely true, that he did cross the sea; with the help of God he could do it.What about Christ walking on the water? He did, because by His nature he did it.What about all the miracles that were done by these incarnations?It’s absolutely true.I am here to prove all of them.But you must get your Realisation. Not before that, I can’t prove it. You must enter into that realm of awareness otherwise I can’t prove it.It’s true.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p35

(606) A

The other day somebody was saying that Rama is a fiction. I said ‘How do you say?’ He said, ‘Because it looks like a fiction.’I said, to human mind, they cannot understand God, who has millions and millions of hands and eyes to work out His plan. So naturally, Rama is fiction, Krishna is a fiction, everybody is a fiction. It’s not that it is a fiction but we are incapable of grasping that it is miraculous, which is Divine and that’s why He just call it, ‘Oh!…’. No, Everything is true.Believe me, Everything is true.Now, Rama’s case let us take. Indians become English, westernised, don’t believe in Rama nothing, it’s our old style of thinking.But he exists, and He is within us.Can be proved with your Kundalini awakening.A person who has got asthma catches on the right heart.You have to take the name of Rama to cure him, nothing else can cure him. It’s simple. We don’t believe in Christ, we don’t believe in Moses. Do you believe in yourself? Perhaps that is missing. Because the Self is not there. If you know yourself you will believe in them.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p35

(606) BAt the crossing of the Agnya chakra you have to take the name of Christ, you have to say the Lord’s Prayer, otherwise the Kundalini doesn’t rise.In the Nabhi, in this void, if it is hanging, you have to take the name of Moses, whether you are a Jew or not, or you are a hater of Jews, or whatever you may be, you have to take the name of Moses. The whole movement of the Kundalini is to integrate all the truths which are treated as miraculous. Some people think it’s a falsehood, is good for nothing, useless – all these things are proved by the movement of the Kundalini in your Central path.And the greatest thing that is proved is that God exists.Not only exists, but He is active, that He does everything for us, that it is He who is the Truth and is His Power, the Brahma, is the truth. The rest is all falsehood and nonsense.Even to the smallest detail it can work out beautifully. But you have to establish yourself in the Kingdom of God.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p35

Page 3: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

(607)The fourth dimension and the parasympathetic.… the fourth dimension that they mention about, what do they mean by that? (they call it that, the transcendental state), but what?- they cannot describe it.Supposing somebody has a low heartbeat, low pulse-rate, or has a low consumption of oxygen or anything – that’s not a transcendental state because you are still in a state where your attention is on your body, so it is not transcendental. You have to trans – transcendental means you have to jump on the parasympathetic. You see we have 4dimensions you can say:One is the dimension of the left sympathetic.Another is the right sympathetic.Then we have got the central nervous system, which is the conscious mind.And the fourth one is the parasympathetic.In Sahaja Yoga we jump onto the parasympathetic, means your attention starts controlling the parasympathetic nervous system.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p38(608)Now, how do we prove it, that we become the 4th dimension? First thing is, the person who becomes the controller of the parasympathetic becomes the auto. He can do things, like he can tell that another person is suffering on these centres, without going to any laboratory, any medical check-ups. On the fingertips.So the person who becomes the 4th dimension, he become the auto, which is the autonomous nervous system, you see, the auto part of it. He controls the parasympathetic, now, he controls the supply to all the centres through certain movements, through a certain kind of technique. For example, some person is suffering from a disease of the heart. Now a normal person who does not have a 4th dimension will not know that he is suffering from heart trouble. He will have no idea. He will never feel his heart or anything till he suddenly gets the attack and he dies.But at the very onset of it a person who is in the 4th dimension, that is, a realised soul, can feel that something is wrong with his heart.Also, he knows how to cure himself – the technique of curing himself.Also he knows that he is the source of the medicines that he has to give – is a vital thing.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p39(609)

So this is the 4th dimension, is a great potential, becoming a kinetic force, like an egg becoming a bird. So the egg, we can see the egg has no way of flying out, but a bird can.There’s a tremendous difference between an egg and a bird. So such a person who gets realisation and gets established, is no more a person who can be tested with these machines and all that, because these machines deal only with the physical side. but it is he who can test. Even a child who is a realised soul can test another person. You don’t use any machine for that.He becomes the one who diagnoses.He becomes the one who cures.He becomes the person who can soothe.Not only that, on physical level, but somebody who is emotionally disturbed, then such a person knows precisely which centre is disturbed. He also knows how to put the centre right. You do not have to go to a lunatic asylum to get cured. But a person who has 4th dimension can cure that person of sickness, because he knows precisely where the trouble is and how to put it right.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p39

(610)So all the diseases which are only physical can be cured, which are psychosomatic can be cured, the combination of both can be cured by a person who is an established Sahaja Yogi. But in case a disease has gone so far that it is irreparable, or something artificial has been introduced in the body, as they put steel sticks and all that – then Sahaja Yoga does not work on dead things, it works on living.If the organ is still living it can work out.But if it is not living, then it does not work out.It works on 80% people, but the 20% of people on whom it cannot work out, are the people who do have the basic foundation to be a human being. They are like animals – even worse than animals.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p39

(611)So, a state that could be the ‘so-called’ 4th dimension would be where a person would be no more a human being. He becomes either a devil or satanic person. This has to be accepted by medical science that there

Page 4: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

are people who can be very devilish, and they cannot ascend further into the 4th dimension.The 4th dimension is not a mechanical process, but it is a living process of evolution by which you evolve to a higher being. But for that you have to have some basic foundation. A person who is an alcoholic can be cured of alcohol, but a person who is cheating himself, cheating other people, is cruel to others, or, say, a person like Hitler, he cannot exist. He has gone beyond that state to where we cannot cure him. We can cure animals, we can cure human beings, but not people who are abnormal – there is no word for that but satanic people. So that’s how it does not work out in some people. Also the cases which have gone very down, into the state we can say, now, absolutely out of order, the Sahaja Yoga allows such a body to take another birth and try.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p39

(612)So, because it is a 4th dimension, we cannot take medical science as a vehicle to express everything, because this is higher than that.But in many ways we can medically show that people have been cured of asthma, of cancer, of leukaemia, of everything, through the vehicle of parasympathetic nervous system, which doctors cannot handle, because they have their own limitation, they cannot jump onto the parasympathetic nervous system.And that is why they cannot cure a patient who has problems of parasympathetic.

V5.no 26. Mar85.p39

(613)All problems can be solved through parasympathetic,in cases (when) the basic conditions are fulfilled.In medical science, people will even treat Hitler. There is no discrimination. But as you go higher and higher, even in evolution, you become more discreet.And at this stage you cannot treat a person who is a hypocrite, or who is a cruel man, or who is aggressive to others, or who is practicing

methods to subvert people – as we have many gurus who take money and destroy many people, just for money’s sake.Such people cannot go to the 4th dimension, why should they talk about the 4th dimension.Such people have to be something so extraordinary – they have to become righteous, virtuous, compassionate and very dynamic people. They have the greatest quality – is of compassion – which, though we accept in our ordinary life, in medical science we do not accept it. But on what basis is medical science? Is on compassion, so you become the compassion. This is to be seen. When we talk of the 4th dimension we talk of the beyond, we have to project our mind to see what we expect ourselves to be when we become something of the beyond. Are we going to be the same mean, aggressive, complicated human being? Or are we going to be something like a Saint?

V5.no 26. Mar85.p39(614)Lonawala, 82Today, first of all we have to establish our desire within ourselves, that we are seekers and that we have to achieve our full growth and maturity.Today’s Puja is for the whole universe.The whole universe should have to be enlightened with this desire.Your desire should be so intense that they should emit out the pure vibrations of Mahakali Shakti which is the pure desire of attaining the Spirit.That’s the real desire. All other desires are like a mirage.You are the people who are chosen by God specially, first to express the desire and then to achieve that intense desire of purity.You have to purify the whole world, not only the seekers, but even those who are not seekers.You have to create an aura around this universe of desire to achieve the Ultimate, the Spirit.

Y3.V14.Mar.83(615)Without this desire this universe would not have existed. This desire of God is the one that is the Holy Ghost. It is the all pervading power; it is the Kundalini within us. Kundalini has only one desire – it is the Spirit and anything else if you desire, the Kundalini doesn’t rise.Only when It knows that this desire is going to be fulfilled by somebody who is facing the seeker, It is awakened.If you do not have the desire, no one can raise It.

Y3.V14.Mar.83.p5

Page 5: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

(616)A Sahaja Yogi should never try to force his desire on other people.The first hurdle that you face as soon as you get your realisation is that you start thinking of your family.You start thinking, ‘My mother has not got it,

my father has not got it,my wife has not got it,my children have not got it.’

You must know that these relations are worldly.Sanskrit is Lokik, they are Alokik, they are not beyond the worldly relations. These are worldly relations, and these attachments are worldly.So, if you play into that force, as you that Maya Shakti allows you to play with, you go ahead as long as you like.People bring me on their relations, their parents, this and that, and, ultimately, they discover that this was a very wrong thing they did. They lost so many precious moments, so many hours, so many years,wasting their energy on people who never deserved any attention of the Mother.

Y3.V14. Mar83.p6

(617)Sooner you realise the better, that this desire may be in you and may not be in any one of your so-called worldly relations, makes no difference.As Christ was told that His brothers and sisters were waiting outside, He said, ‘Who are My brothers and who are My sisters?’So, one has to realise that those people who involve themselves into the problem of their family all the time and attract My attention – you must know that I am just playing about.It is of no value to you.For your ascent it is important first of all to have no desire, the pure desire in your kith and kin.This is the first principle of establishment of Mahakali power.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p6.

(618)In India especially, where people are too much attached to their family, it is a very big problem.If you give realisation to one person, you are amazed to see that all the relationship they have is with a big bunch of bhoots. And you give realisation to one person you are in for trouble and all the bhoots walk in slowly, torturing My life, wasting My energy and absolutely of no use. It should happen to you to understand that this is not auspicious.If you want to waste your time, I will allow you to waste your time. but if you want to have the ascent, fast, first of all one must remember that these relations, which are absolutely worldly – this is not your pure desire.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p6

(619)So try to separate your pure desire from your worldly desire. It does not by any means suggest that you give up your family, you give up your mother, you give up your sister. Nothing, but you witness them and see as you would see anybody else, and see for yourself whether they are really desirous or not. If they are, well and good, they should not be disqualified because they are your relations. It works both ways, as they cannot be qualified because they are your relations; they cannot be disqualified because they are your relations. In Sahaja Yoga you make your desire a pure desire.You have to get out of so many things,but for people who are attach to their family,and are bound by their family,they have to see to it that they do not force Sahaja Yoga on any of their relations.At least do not force them on Me.

Page 6: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

Y3.V14.Mar83.p6

(620)Now this desire within us, which is the Mahakali power which is manifesting, comes across in so many ways.As I told you, first of all comes to us after realisation, because you are all Sahaja Yogis, to do something about our relations.Then, the second desire that comes to us, that let us try to cure people who are our relations. This is the second desire.You should feel yourself and see that this has happened to many of you. So, right from leprosy to any small thing like cold or sneezing, whatever they have, they think that they should bring to Mother. And all the worries of the family should be brought to Me – simple thing like pregnancy or sneezing, very simple things which are so natural, are brought into your attention.So when you have them in your attention, I say‘Go ahead with it; try to solve it if possible.’

But if you don’t have any of them in your attention then they are in My attention.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p6(621)You leave your family in My attention.I will manage that.But then it is a vicious circle, it is a very subtle projection of the mind that thinks, ‘Alright Mother, we don’t have this thing in our attention, you better look after it.’ But this is not the way.We should have only one intense desire within us, ourselves,Have I become the Spirit?Have I achieved my ultimate?Have I risen above the worldly desires?PURIFY. Once you start purifying, whatever falls out, I look after that.This is just one assurance, but not a guarantee.If it deserves My attention, I will definitely look after it.YOU HAVE TO VALUE YOUR ATTENTION AS I VALUE MINE.I think you have to value much more of your attention than Me because I can manage things very well within Myself, because everything is in My attention.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p6

(622)But you try to purify your desires away from the worldly problems that are facing you.So, if you extend it more, then you start thinking –‘Mother, what about the problems of our country?’Alright, give Me the map of your country.Finished. That is more than sufficient.Then, purify yourself – the desire that you have, you leave it.And once you are purified, that area will be covered through your attention.It is very interesting.When you get over it, then only you can throw light.But if you are inside, your light is hidden.There is no light emitted.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p7

(623)You have to rise above desires about your family and your country.You have to rise above that desire.Every time you get a desire, rise above that,till your light is emitted on that wider problem that you are facing, which you think should be solved by Me.These are all My headaches, which you are putting on yourself.YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO ONE THING,IS TO BECOME THE SPIRIT. THAT’S ALL.IT IS SIMPLE THING; REST OF IT IS MY HEADACHE.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p7

(624)Now, the problem that should take your desire on to the collective should be very different.To substantiate your purity, to be fragrant with your purity, your attention should be on the other side.NOW YOU ARE NOT FACING ME,YOU ARE FACING ME WITH THE WHOLE WORLD.See, the whole attitude will change.

Page 7: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

The attitude should be: what can I give?How can I give?What is my mistake in giving?I have to be more alert.Where is my attention?I have to be more alert towards myself, what am I doing?What is my responsibility?You must desire that you should be pure.You should be pure desire means you should be Spirit.But what is your responsibility towards yourself?You should desire that your responsibility to yourself should be manifested, should be complete.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p7

(625)Then what is your responsibility to Sahaja Yoga?

- which is the work of God,- which has started- and you are in My hands.

You have to do the work of god and you have to fight the anti-God elements – the Satanic elements.You are not responsible for your family anymore. Those who are, are half-baked Sahaja Yogis – I said are useless, absolutely good for nothing. All such will drop out, their families will suffer and I know this is going to happen.Because now, the forces are gathering in such a way that sorting out will start.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p7

(626)It is your responsibility to yourself to be the Spirit.

- your responsibility to Sahaja Yoga- your responsibility to understand Me better and better and

better- your responsibility to understand this mechanism that is within

you – how it works out and behaves.Responsibility is how to become a Guru yourself.Your responsibility to be a glorified and dignified personality.Responsibility to be a respectable personality and not a cheap personality.

Every one of you is worth the whole universe, if you want to rise to that height.Universes of universes can be thrown away at your feet, if you want to rise to that height, to that magnitude that is within you to foster.Those people who still want to live on a very low level cannot rise. The attention is to be kept pure. If it is not pure, then this desire will always be attacked by all petty nonsensical things, which have no meaning in your ascent.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p8

(627)What I am saying is about you. Work on yourself!Now, a person who is a good Sahaja Yogi is not bothered about his clothes, what others say to him, what others are talking to him, how they are behaving towards him.The attention is not on that criticism, that this person is like this, that person is like that. Nor there is the aggressiveness of anyone else because nobody is the other.But the problem is, when I say that, no one thinks that I am saying about you, each person.Those who are aggressive take the role and those who are non-aggressive think the other way.Like, I say something for a person who is aggressive, the non-aggressive will immediately think of the person who is aggressive, not about himself.You immediately start shifting your mind to another person, finding fault with other people.So, this desire becomes gradually lower and lower and lower because of the loads that are put on it.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p8

(628)So the alertness if very important,complete alertness, Satarkta, that we should keep our attentionpurely for the sustenance of our pure desire.Desire comes from your heartand you are so built that your Brahmarandra (Sahasrara) is also the heart. If you do not have a clean heart it won’t keep clean.

Page 8: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

For the people who think if they talk about Sahaja Yoga big and all that, they are all right.But they are cheating themselves if the heart is not open.So try to open your heart.I hope today when you do this Puja and you do the worship of Mahakali and this special Yagna, we will definitely establish this aura and enlighten the world.But your outlook should be: how much have I contributed to this?Am I still thinking of other people?Am I still thinking of petty small problems,or am I thinking of my Spirit?

Y3.V14.Mar83.p8(629)So, the left side starts and ends with Sri Ganesha.Sri Ganesha has only one basic quality, that He is completely surrendered to his Mother. He does not know any other God.He does not even know his father. He only knows his Mother and completely surrenders to Her.But this pure desire has to have action and about which I tell you later as we will be having more Pujas and more Pujas.But today let us establish ourselves into that pure desire to be the Spirit.Now, as the Western mind will say, how?It always comes, how to do it? Should I tell you? It is very simple!Sri Adi Shankaracharya wrote Vivek Chudamani and so many other books and treatises and then all these big intellectuals got after his life and they said, ‘Have this and have that and have it.’ And he said, ‘forget these people’. The he wrote Saunarya Lahiri – just the description of his Mother and his devotion to Her.And every couplet that he wrote is a Mantra.It is not the surrender of your mind through your mind, but the surrender of your heart.It is absolutely the surrender of your heart.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p9(630)Be Alert!Western Sahaja Yogis know very well how there have been attacks and attacks of negativity upon them, specially when the horrible people like Freud came to destroy their basics, the roots. And how the west accepted it blindfolded and put them on the path of hell. All that has to be brought out. That is all nonsense, is wrong, absolutely, and that is the anti-God activity. Then you will realise that you will rightfully say, ‘This is the destruction of our basics, our roots. When our Mother

is the source of everything that is sublime, noble, all that is nourishing, all that is elevating, emancipating, your are cutting us from our roots.’You have been dealt with, I think, as an animal-like creature and he wants all of us to go down to that lower level of human beings which exist as pathological cases, I don’t know.So, it is important for you to understand all attacks that come on you, and be alert, and don’t be identified with any one of them.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p9(631)When you arrive in India you will see that people are too innocent. They cannot understand Freud. You cannot talk to them, it is beyond them.They are higher type of people in this respect, because they are not attacked, while you are higher in a way that, although you have been attacked, you have come out of it.You just turn your faces and you are on the other side.That is something great.Let us establish within ourselves at our subtler level, the desire to be pure and to be cleansed out of all the barriers and unclean things that are within us.Desire to be great Sahaja Yogis.Desire to be responsible Sahaja Yogis.Desire to be surrendered to your MOTHER.It is not difficult, that is the ego, the last one to go.Because what do you surrender? I don’t want anything from you except that you accept My Love.Surrender just means that you open your heart to accept MY LOVE.Give up this ego, that’s all, and it will work out.I am trying to push Myself into your heartand I will definitely settle down there!

Y3.V14.Mar83.p9

(632)Old Marathi Letter. (1)My dear Modi and other Sahaja Yogis,Many blessings. Received your letter. I am very glad to know that you Ida Nadi has become clean and I hope, Ida Nadis of all have become clean, at least to some extent. Here I had told all that I work, while under anaesthesia, to clean the Ida channels of all. I worked for 3 days

Page 9: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

cleaning it – be vomiting nearly 50 times every day, and it is nice that the cleaning has become possible. This physical being has to be used for the mission for which it has been taken, and therefore I am not bothered by the illness and other troubles.On the contrary, all such and different experiments with this incarnation have to be performed.Why are you so anxious about it?What else is the use of this body? I never have any pains.All I want is that, in the laboratory of this body, some work or the other must go on.Time is short, while the work to be done is very big.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p10

(633)You cannot do the cleaning of Ida channel only on the strength of your realisation. I knew that it had to be cleaned from within. In ancient days all seekers had to do this action (Kriya) constantly, right from their childhood, at the residences of their gurus, at isolated places. The seekers had to do it, individually, in many lives. Because, now you have attained the state of collectivity, I have done it in collective consciousness. Although you say I have done it, the distinction of you and I should not be there in collective consciousness.Mantras ‘Twam Bhawani, Twam Durga, Twam Ambika, etc’ are good for Ida channel, but when you are established in Sahaja Yoga, you will have to say ‘Aham Bhavani’.However, this Mantra can be said only when your purity becomes one with that of ‘Aham Bhavani’and I tell you now itself, that this will happen.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p10

(634) AAfter cleaning the Ida channel I am awakening the Pingala Nadi. Sahaja Yogis had become rather lethargic due to the conditioning of the Ida Channel.Laziness and a tendency of avoiding work was dominating in them. Their attention was being frittered away on avoiding the work. But I have now started the work of awakening Pingala Channel. All of you should raise your right hand from right side over your head and leave it on the left side;but, while doing it you must apply your willpowerso that your desires will materialise.With the awakening of collectivity, you will have many people to share your work,which you are doing alone.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p10

(634) BThe sphere of Sahasrar envelops your heart.When conditioning of heart is reduced, as if the glass of a lamp becomes clean, rays of ever-resplendent Spirit awaken Sahasrar sheath and the light of bliss spreads, which is felt in Sahasrara.This light enlightens all sides of Colourful Heart,and decorates it with the qualities which can be describe as pleasing, blissful, etc.Gradually this state will grow and become stable within you. Most of the Sahaja Yogis should try this method, but there should not be merely the mechanical movement of the hands. Whatever you do, it should be done with the faith that you have in worshipping, zeal of a warrior and sensitivity of an artist.There should be complete purity in the recitation of Mantras to awaken the Deities and your heart must be involved in it. Only the awakening will take place. You should understand a simple principle. How can a big fire be lit with a small matchstick? Will a wick hold the flame if the water is mixed with oil? How can those Sahaja Yogis have enlightenment, who are using Sahaja Yoga to solve their own petty problems? And why should God give them enlightenment? Lighthouses do not show light to themselves even for a moment.

Y3.V14.Mar83.p11

Negativity attacks Sahaja YogisSahaja Yogis of Bombay have great responsibility and therefore had to face many attacks. The first attack came when I was in USA. At that time many Sahaja Yogis were affected and many fell away. Later on, when an attack was on, all London Sahaja Yogis collectively followed wrong path which was full of dangers and harms. Many wicked people from that part are still hiding themselves in some Sahaja Yogis in the form of badhas.You have to vigorously use Sahaja Yoga methods against the. These ‘wickeds’ attack you from Agnya and Heart. From Agnya they send anti-Sahaja Yoga ideas in your mind, and from Heart they make complaints. If you identify them they will become ineffective. There is one remedy for it which can be applied only after realisation, because if your car does not start, your breaks and accelerator are of no use. But if you do not use the accelerator even after it starts, how will the car move? (See No. 636 for remedy) 3.V14.Mar83.p11

(636)The remedy that is to be used is:Your attention should be on ME, and you should make the following conditioning of thoughts on your Agnya – ‘How fortunate we are to have been realised! We are Sahaja Yogis. God has chosen us. How can we work if we remain weak? Adi Shakti has given us the power to redeem the whole of mankind. We can do it and we will do it.’On Heart, you should criticise with these thoughts:‘How deep is God’s Love for us! He has given us the realisation. He is the ocean of mercy. Ignoring all our mistakes, He is working hard day and night for our welfare and, instead of praying for our forgiveness of our mistakes, we are making complaints against Him and blaming Him.’The following thoughts will please your hearts:‘O God, please give the power of your Love. May I be the drop in the ocean of Your Love that is enveloping the whole universe, so that its loving pulsation vibrated through my life and I remain engrossed in that bliss’.May your live be flooded by the waves of Divine Love.Always loving you, much more than myself.Your Mother NIRMALA

Y3.V14.Mar83.p11

(637)

It is so great to be with you Australians on this auspicious day (Birthday Puja). You have proved to be very good Yogis and have progressed in a very speedy manner in your spiritual life. I could not believe, ten years back, that we could achieve this result. Even to create one saint will require thousand lives to pass, and so many have become prophets, it is a very big thing for you.Let us forget about what ‘dents’ we have within ourselves. We have to know that we are prophets.This assumption has to be established – that we are prophets.If you could just assume what you are, what you have become, you’ll emit the Glory of God!Like a flower when it blossoms, it has its fragrance which flows automatically, but it is only human being who have freedom even not to assume, to deny or to assume what they are.Even if they have become prophets they still linger on with what they are not in imagination, and are still ego-oriented.Is falsehood. Is not your true nature.It’s like acting in a drama, becoming the actor. Like somebody is acting like Shiva-ji, so he becomes as if he is Shiva-ji, the whole lifestyle changes, he becomes like Shiva-ji. But the same person, if he’s acting as Hitler, becomes like Hitler. Both are artificial. Artificial they become.You are a Prophet, assume what you have become.

V4.20.Mar84.p5(638)Now when you are really prophets you find it difficult to be the real person what you, not the artificial, which has gone back, which is no more there, all finished.The sinner is dead, the egoistical is not there,the frightened one is gone for ever. You are a prophet..Rise in the Glory of that personality.People who are not prophets are not godly, who are doing anti-God activities can assume to be prophets.But those who are really Prophets do not want to assume the situation that they are. It must go to you people also, that despite all the hurdles and problems you had, you have ascended. Ascended so far, and have become beautiful prophets. You are so transformed that little more, just to assume what you are, will make you feel so sweet.

V4.20.Mar84.p5(639)As soon as you assume, you become that.We must, today, get over this kind of a play our mind has being doing so far. All falsehood has to drop out. Of course, as I said, I could never

Page 11: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

have dreamt in ten years I’ll achieve these results, with so many devils around to entice you.Despite all hurdles and problems you had, you have ascended and become beautiful prophets, so transformed that a little more, just assume what you are, will make you feel so sweet.I talked to my granddaughter, elder one, and she’s just a little girl, only 11 years of age, but she told her mother, ‘Now I can’t talk to Nani (grandmother) because She’s a Goddess. How can I talk to Her? I feel shy.’ At that age. And Rustum told me that there are vibrations emitting from her. And she’s so humble. That’s how you have to grow.

V4.20.Mar84.p5

(640)That’s how you have to grow.First of all you have to Know that you are Prophets and you must Know that I am the Holy Ghost. I am the Adi Shakti. I am the one who has come on this earth for the first time in this form to do this tremendous task.The more you understand this the better it would be.You will change tremendously.I knew I’ll have to say that, openly, one day, and we have said it. But it is you people who have to prove it, that I’m that.Christ had disciples who were not even realised souls and they have spread Christianity – whatever it is.Under such circumstances that Christ was crucified and they were left high and dry, just twelve people struggling, but they put it up. They were very humble people, their quality was extremely humble, and they knew they difference between them and Christ and the Mother. Also they knew the difference between them and others and they took to lives which were Pure, illumined by the name of Christ. They were not realised souls. They cleansed themselves and kept their lives beautiful.

V4.20.Mar84.p5(641)So Sahaja Yoga can’t afford to have these six enemies.*First of all, the temper which really doesn’t behove. Compassion. Replace temper with compassion.Today is 60th birthday and we have to just fight only six enemies within ourselves.

Second is, which you have, most of you, have done it, is to retract your attention from perversion. Most of you have done it. Your eyes are better now, steady. But you are still egoistical.Vanity. Still people are jealous, competitive.You still have some lurking materialism.A new thing that is coming, you are getting attached to your families. So we have to change it for now, for a different use.* 1 & 2 - no 641

3 - no 6444 - no 6465 - no 6506 - no 651Cure - no 654 V4.20.Mar84.p5

(642)Same thing can be used for doing God’s work.They can be used as the six hands of Sahaja Yogis.The first one is the anger. You have to be angry with yourself when you do wrong things. And not to feel guilty, but angry with yourself for doing wrong things. Guilty is the best way never to get rid of it. It’s like a storehouse kept for personal archives, locked up. I have suffered a lot because of your guilty business, very much. And they out one by one so you have to be angry with yourself when you feel guilty.‘How can I feel guilty? Why did I do such a thing? I’m not going to do it.’ So, develop your anger against yourself and not against others. And anger could be reserved for the day of war.Otherwise, when the war will break out, all the Arjunas will drop their bows, and it will be said that Arjuna was a great warrior till the war broke out. So we are not going to waste our energy in warring with things which are just like shadows.Not to fight the shadow.

V4.20.Mar84.p6

(643)Sex (outwards), the perversion, has to be diverted towards your family, your wife, and you have to respect your chastity, you lead a chaste life. Not to be like a dog, but to be like a human being. All that attention has to become chastity, which is your power, which is your protection, which is your connection with the Divine. Not forced chastity, but a chastity of balance and understanding. With your family, with your wife, in a very chaste way you can live. Same with women – more with women, I would say. They should not

Page 12: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

join hands with other men who talk against your husbands, or who teach against your husbands.All such men should be thrown out of Sahaja Yoga who try to tell women against their husbands. This is a very sanctum santorium place, where you should not interfere against any husband. Nobody has the right. If there is any problem you should let me know.Is a sign of stupidity.

V4.20.Mar84.p6

(644)Then the Vanity must be made into pride.You should be proud that you are Sahaja Yogis, really proud.Raise your hands with pride that we are Sahaja Yogis.Pride is never oppressive. It’s a glorious thing to be proud. But vanity is.. Actually pride is nothing but the expression of self-esteem. Begging, borrowing, mimicry, all these things come from the less understanding of yourself.So, Vanity should be the pride,and the pride should be the expression of self-esteem.Self-esteem is very different from ego.One is reality, another is complete artificiality.Men should behave like men and not like women, those, like slaves to be tied with a rope whenever their women want them to. They have to lead the society. For the women’s rights in India, the women never fought with the men.They never fought with the men, because the men are also fathers and brothers, and they are concerned about the welfare of the women. Women knew once they start this politics of fighting men there’s no end to it. Even in America it was Abraham Lincoln who fought for the liberation of women.

V4.20.Mar84.p6(645)So, you have to be, not egoistical, but proud.Proud that you are Sahaja Yogis, proud that you have been born in such time when you have to carry on the duties of God’s Work, that GOD has chosen YOU.So that you should come up to that level.Like, some people, I find, suddenly become morose, recluses in Sahaja Yoga.They will never be forgiven because God has given you so much.Supposing somebody gives you a diamond, you are proud, you put it on, and show off.

But when you have been given your Spirit, you should be proud and not behave like recluses. Some people feel, ‘I shall not take any job now. I’ll not go out. I’ll sit at home and meditate.’There’s no place for such people in Sahaja Yoga. ‘I can’t do this.’ The word ‘can’t’ should go away from the dictionary of people who are supposed to be Sahaja Yogis. You just can’t say, ‘I can’t do it’.

V4.20.Mar84.p6

(646)So the self-esteem will give you that kind of a dynamism within which is needed for Sahaja Yoga, a discreet dynamism, a wise dynamism. I won’t have to solve your problems any more.The quality of competition and jealousy should be brought round.There should be competition between yourself, the one who you were, and what you are..Who wins? whether your past or your present.Your present should go fast, faster and faster, leaving your past behind you as much as you can.There should be no competition between Sahaja Yoga in acquisition. Sometimes I have also seen competition in shouting, screaming and being harsh to others – there’s a big competition on.Let us have competition, in mildness, in sweetness, in beautiful behaviour.Who is more cultured, who is more gentlemanly, who is deeper?Keep somebody and ideal before you like that who you think is a very gentlemanly person, or a lady who is really like a lady.

V4.20.Mar84.p7(647)If you have a lady who behaves like a man as your ideal, that is also not right. Or a man who behaves like a woman, that’s also not ideal. Or the other way round, a woman who tries to show that women are different from men, and women must get this …In Sahaja Yoga there is nothing like women and men, that women must get this and men must get that. Because you are the Spirit.But the cover that you have, the body that you have,the lamp that you have, is a different thing, and to keep the light on –a woman has to be a woman, and a man has to be a man.As I told you yesterday, that an apple should not try to be a mango, and mango should not try to be an apple. It looks nice to be the best apple and and the best mango.

Page 13: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

So the recluses, those who say you have to get out of it, behave really not like human beings (I don’t know what animals do that way). Like when you get your doles you cannot become indolent, you cannot. As far as possible I don’t like people taking doles. Not a sign of good Sahaja Yogis. You should all be hard working, have good qualifications, be good people, on top of everything. Good students, good cooks, good mothers, good fathers, good administrators. We cannot be dishwashers can we?

V4.20.Mar84.p7(648)So the competition between men and women must be stopped. Women must have their own place and men have their own place. And women must know that men are their hands.If you are the Shakti, they are the machines, and don’t kill your machines by shouting at them, by screaming at them and by putting down, making them diffident. We’ll have no place.We have to encourage them to do God’s work. You have to support them because they are the machines, they are the hands and you are the power.Of course, if these hands go against the power they will suffer. So there should be no competition between children and you – my child, his child, there should be no such competition, take out your mind from there. There should be complete sharing. So the competition should end in sharing. How we share? How much can we share?

V4.20.Mar84.p7

Page 14: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

(653)This mind of mine, this mind of Mr so and so. Is better to address yourself as Mr or Mrs or Miss. ‘So, Miss, will you please get up now?’ Better address yourself. Children talk like that, like a third person. You’ll be amazed, you will see the joke behind the whole thing, you’ll know how to laugh at yourself. ‘Oh Mr so and so, come along now, he’s behaving like this.’ And you’ll really become Master of yourself, because you know how to handle this baby. It will give that sense of maturity. So, to say, this is my child, this is my wife – of course you have to look after your wife and your children because they’re your responsibility, but do for other children more than you would like to do for your own child.So this complete identification with your children, over-protectiveness, will give you trouble. You have to believe that your family is the family of your Father, and your Mother is looking after it. If you think you can look after your family by yourself, go ahead. So don’t be overprotective, don’t be too worried, too upset about your family, and keep a very sociable temperament so that your children also don’t become like that – tell them how to share. Many people have a habit to serve your child first – is absolutely very vulgar, shows bad breeding. Must serve others first, then your own family. Keeping something back for your children is a sign of a person who is like a frog, who lives in a small well. Get over it.

V4.20.Mar84.p8(654)You (Australians) must start writing to other Sahaja Yogis. Those who have lived in London, how many are writing to people in London? Have they made any friends or anything? Nothing of the kind, they are so busy with their own problems they’re not bothered to create that bondage of Love, as if they have not interest in Sahaja Yoga. They stayed in the ashram in London, how many of you are writing letters to London people? Now you have met them in this programme, I hope as soon as you go back today you should all write letters about today’s birthday, how it has been celebrated in a beautiful way. Ladies must write to ladies and men must write to men. Write to them about your Mother, what you think. Don’t write letters to me especially, but write nice, sweet, poetic letters, they’ll feel happy; it’s like sending flowers.This will overcome these six enemies and make them your slaves and use them for your purpose. Then they’ll become great things. Then they’ll be your assistants, then they’ll be the commanders of your army, they’ll be your decorations.It’s all in your hands, with wisdom, you have to do it. V4.20.Mar84.p9(655)At this time, at the age where I’ve reached –

I was always there, same age, I’ve always been a child like this, mature like this, just like a young girl and an old woman, all put together and every year, every time.But I’ve definitely matured in understanding of human beings.I’ve definitely got better understanding and maturity as far as my knowledge of human beings is concerned, because they are …When I was born, they were strangers to me, just strangers, imagine that the Adi Shakti should say this, but it’s true.Despite I have created you, I was absolutely a stranger.But know:-I’ve grown,I’ve understood you very well,Know you are My children,I know how much you love Me,and much you are close to Me.

(that bhootish child crying, such a big child can’t go to the toilet, just to disturb. You must really give him two slaps on the face, not very hard, but let him know you don’t like it, because they’re bhoots and they have to go away.)

V4.20.Mar84.p9

(656)Now, whatever I said yesterday about children,Be careful. You have to make your children assets and not liabilities on Sahaja Yoga.So try to train them up properly.Bring them up, they deserve a good hand to handle.In the beginning you have to be very strict and punish them if they do anything wrong, so they know what is right, what is wrong.And once they grow up you’ll be amazed what an asset they are.Some of them are very good children, but if the influence of the bad children comes up too much, they might spoil the good children also.So better encourage children who are good, have been very sweet.

V4.20.Mar84.p10

(657)So I think of my young age, of my childhood,and the dream, how it has come true.Whatever I have dreamt is beyond my imagination.It’s done now as far as I’m concerned.

Page 15: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

You don’t need me much any more. I’ve told you whatever was needed for your counselling. I have taught you the method how to redeem others and comfort them. You know everything. Now just become masters in this art. Forget your past.You are all great people, all of you. So when, next year, I should see you sitting on this seat, not in my lap. On your own, teaching children. Let the second generation start now.The first generation is ready, now the second generation has to come and you have to look after the second generation.I want to be a real grandmother of very grand children, that’s a special privilege and real promotion and maturity.(Look at this rain, is pouring down, He’s going to flood your Parramatta river in Sydney.)Because I have said now, ‘I’m the Holy Ghost’.Everybody seems to be over happy and joyous.

V4.20.Mar84.p10

(658)You are specially favoured people, and I hope you’ll favour me special too.This year, I hope all of you are going to take up a new role and a new style of life where you become mild people, not docile men, but mild people and docile women. Women have to be more docile, more domesticated. They’ll look nice. They become gentle, they’ll smile better, they create such joy. We are here to create joy and not to enjoy some rights which are artificial.How much joy do we create? How much joy do we give to others? So, today, on this great occasion, we have to feel our joy within our heart. Very deep down within us lies that source of joy. So, we have to go deep down within ourselves and feel they joy of this sixty year old Mother of yours, that I have within myself. Go deep down, it’s there, enjoy it and then give it to others.Like a fountain of joy you should give. May God bless you.Declare to all the nations now, that I am the Holy Ghost, and I have come for this special time, that is the resurrection time. V4.20.Mar84.p11(659)All the badha of the past, karma and negativity will be brought up to the surface, where it will wither in the face of a Spirit completely surrendered to the Great Mother of the Universe. ‘Vishwa swadharma suryé pāhó’, – the whole universe will see the light, the sun of One Universal Religion. ‘Jo je vánchila to te láho’, - whatever you will desire, whatever they will desire they will get it. ‘Pránijāta’- all the human beings

‘Varshata sakala mangali Ishwarnish – thānchi māndiyālī Anavarata bhūmandalā bhétatū bhūtā’ - when you will meet us, there will be a shower of blessings and, of course, of Chaitanya’ . ‘when you will meet us’ – that’s ME.‘Chalá Kalpatarunché āravá’. This is the description of the Sahaja Yogi, you must listen to this. That they will be like forests, you’ll see many thousands, like moving forests of huge trees giving blessings. Trees that give blessings and give Kalpatarus, are trees that give you whatever you want. So they will be like moving forests; means all of you are like that – great. That you will be like the great trees, which are moving but which are bestowing blessings upon others, giving them what they want. Kalpataru.

V4.20.Mar84.p12

(660)‘Bolaté jé pīyūsanché’: They will be now, ‘you people’; they will be the ocean of talking (oceans of talking or bubbling). ‘Amrita’. Amrita is the nectar, the nectar of life. You will be the oceans of bubbling nectar which are talking. Like this ocean is here. See the trees and the ocean. Ocean that talks in a way that it just emits nectar, the nectar of Bliss. That’s you people.‘Chandramé jé alānchana’: They will be like the moon without any spot on it – immaculate moons, which have not spots, no blemishes, without any blemishes.‘Mārtanda jé tāpahīna’: Like the sun without any heat in it – that is you.‘Té sarvāhī sadā sajjan soyaré hotu’: All such people who will be righteous, who will stand for the right, for the truth, are going to be related to each other.Going to be related to the whole world.

V4.20.Mar84.p12

(661)Now with this beginning we understand that of the great saints of Maharastra at that time. The greatest was Gyaneshwara because he saw the future that is to come, and he told people about you, that the ‘men of God’ will become prophets and they will have powers to make others prophets.Now we do not realise what are we when we become Sahaja Yogis. We become so much, still worried about things which have no value. If you see, in the ultimate, all these things have no value, these are so temporary.And if you go on wasting your energy about things that have no spiritual value – that doesn’t matter, you are going to waste your life

Page 16: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

because you have that which is described: ‘The oceans which are talking nectar.’

V4.20.Mar84.p13

(662)Oceans of talking nectar.Nectar, not the nectar that we understand; nectar of spiritual bliss, you are that.And when you are that, what is expected of you, about yourself?Just find out, just find out yourself. Reflect back, ‘what is expected of me, myself? What am I doing about it? I am worried about this nonsense, that nonsense, and I’m supposed to be the ocean of Blissful Nectar! I’m supposed to be the forests of the Kalpatarus – the trees that give the boon to the people, huge big trees. And then what am I doing?’‘My giving capacity is so low! What can I give to others?I don’t even have attention that can absorb the energy of the Divine. Instead of that my attention is on wrong things, and what am I doing?’

V4.20.Mar84.p13

(663)What do I do about myself is that –I’m not trying to manifest that special quality, the highest quality, the one that I am.I’m born after ages; I’ve been born so many times.I’ve been a saint; I’ve been going round seeking God.I’ve been going round, and gain, when I’m born in this lifetime for such a tremendous task, I’m again lost with the same nonsense.I’m still moving with the same nonsense…If you understand that, then you’ll know what importance it has today on this day of our International Seminar.

V4.20.Mar84.p13

(664)Internationally, you are all related to each other, and to nobody else, internationally.You are all relations to each other. These are the relations which are relations of deep friendship.Friendship has no bias, has no lust, no greed, no nothing.It’s just friendship. Pure relationship. And we are that.(I just don’t understand. Am I talking just – I mean – it has any meaning or not, in your hearts? Or am I just talking without any meaning? Sometimes I don’t understand if I’m talking to real Sahaja Yogis or I’m talking to some walls here, who are not bothered what I’m talking.)Bring down your attention to what I’m saying. It’s important.Otherwise, how are you going to learn this? Where is your attention? So, it’s alright to say, ‘It is all Love, it’s all affection, it’s all goodness.’ It’s all very sweet thing, you see. But you must know that you have to come up.The trees have come up after a great struggle against the whole atmosphere, against the whole surroundings.They have come up on their own, except for the Mother Earth, to which they are connected.

V4.20.Mar84.p13

(665)So you people must know that you are all here to come up to fight yourself, to find out what’s wrong with you.Where is your attention?First of all, the attention has to move in such a manner that outward you grow, and inward you hold fast to your Mother. With complete respect.Those who cannot are absolutely useless.If any tree doesn’t try to hold fast to this Mother Earth, it will fall out.I mean that is what it is doing and for what it is rewarded.It is nothing to do with Mother Earh.This Mother Earth has this speciality.And if this Mother Earth is not going to be linked y you, by your purposeful adherence, continuous identification, you are going to fall off! Like a dead tree.

Page 17: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

V4.20.Mar84.p13

(666)So, it’s very important to understand that you are great, no doubt. These trees are great. They have fought through, they have come up; but where is your attention? And what are you here for? What is needed?Sticking to things that are against your own growth, bothered about things which go against you all the time –The first and foremost thing that goes against us is our own nonsensical ego.We must understand this is the one, the greatest, barrier within us. And we have to get out of it.The Kundalini has to rise like the tree has risen up.And the ego is the biggest hurdle for most of us.It appears in many ways.We fight with the Mother Earth which is giving you the source. You are the very being of that Mother.She has created you, She has made you. Because of Her you have come up. You are fighting Her! Arguing Her! Going against Her! This is you ego. How will you grow?And once you start growing, the sun can help you, the sky can help you, everything can help you; the Nature can help you.But you must have the complete desire to rise above your dwarfishness, above your selfishness, above your conditioning and specially your ego!

V4.20.Mar84.p13(667)All this when we say that you are ‘this’. There’s no need to be puffed up, you see, if I tell a little tree that you are going to be a big tree, doesn’t mean it has become a big tree. One has to become the big tree by pushing forward.And that quality like Gyaneshwara, like Tukarama, like Ramadasa, you all have to become that quality.They never saw Me; I just nourished them without them seeing me. But they nourished themselves:on their own virtues, on their own qualities, on their own greatness.You have to be great like that.Instead of that, if you live with false notions about yourself, artificial things, absurd ideas, all nonsense that we have gathered:through our upbringing, through our rationality, through our reading,

through other gurus, and our own mental projections are going to be extremely dangerous, for every individual Sahaja Yogi, and as a whole, it will effect.

V4.20.Mar84.p14(668)So we have to take a vow today,that we are going to behave in a manner which behoves our Advent – not Mother’s – our Advent, at this time, which is being described and prophesised.Prophecy was made from a long time back. If we understand that we have come on this Earth for that purpose, we really separate ourselves from all the rest of the nonsense that goes on, and try to rise towards the sky – as these trees have done.You should not follow any other Sahaja Yogi in all anti-growth activities. And anyone who tries to create a kind of group, or tries to impress you by saying that he can teach you something higher, lower, all kinds of techniques, and this and that, you have to forget it.First of all you must know that Sahaja Yoga is a growth within and that growth expresses itself outside. So, that within growth is to be done by you fully, with full understanding. Then I don’t have to tell you about anyone. You won’t be vulnerable to nonsensical talk and jabbering.

V4.20.Mar84.p14(669)You have some people who are intellectuals.Intellectuals have a bad habit of intellectualising everything. Intelligence is nothing for God, because God created it.So you have to see through that.There are some people who are very emotional, and try to express themselves emotionally. You have to get out of these ideas, and you have to understand that emotions can play a very dangerous role in life. Now, we have decided to have so many marriages in Bordi, which is a very nice thing and auspicious thing.I am very happy that we are going to have so many marriages.It is auspicious.Because marriages are supported, blessed by God.Yours is special, because I’m sitting here before you for these marriages.

V4.20.Mar84.p15

Page 18: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

(670)But don’t make a fuss out of marriage.Don’t create a problem by being superficial about marriage.These are marriages of Brahma-ekatva, where one feels the Oneness of the Spirit, of the all-pervading power. Try to know that these marriages are done among saints and not among ordinary people. Try to respect the inner quality of a person. If somebody is a Sahaja Yogi of a high quality that must be respected and that must be loved. And not the outer qualities. The outer qualities are nonsensical. You must respect each other when you marry, because you are all saints. You are saints of a very high quality, I’ve told you, and the potential is so great, which is already described to you – that only your assumption can fetch you that greatness. The whole world is hoping this thing to happen, that they should get such people on this earth, those which are described. And where are we? Where are we? Our progress is so slow. We’re worried about stupid things, material things, superficial things, artificial things.

V4.20.Mar84.p15(671)So one has to understand that you are here today for this International Seminar to promise me (everybody seems to be younger than me in this group) but you have to promise that, ‘Mother, we will work with the same zeal, with the attention as You are doing, and try to settle ourselves.’Quieten yourself, be silent. We talk too much. Talk too much, do nothing.Try to reserve your energy in that silent dignity.You must have full idea of what you are. You must understand what you have been up to, what have you done about it? Talking, talking, talking! That’s not the way it is going to work out.The atmosphere is nice, everything is fine, the future seems very jubilant, But the highest above everything is The hope of your Mother that you are going to emancipate the whole world.Give attention to that. Think about it, that you are going to do it!You have to be walking, talking, moving forests of that Divine Love, that Ritambhara Pragya.I hope you understand that today is a very important day. I feel that if this Bordi session works well maybe we might achieve a lot next year.

V4.20.Mar84.p15

(672)Today is a Puja of a great day, and a great time today.At this time a big reservoir has to be opened up.But it has to be channelised through people.And how can I channelise it through people who are filled with vanity, with stupidity or with small-mindedness>You have to be large, huge, big hearted, great people.You are all ‘born again’, who were great, today again.But somehow you are still mixed up with your surroundings.So try to understand your own importance and the importance of the time, is, to worship yourself.To worship, but to be worshippable!

V4.20.Mar84.p15

(673)You all think that only by dressing up properly or by putting up any show like that, we become worshippable. We do not!We should be worshippable to ourself.To see, whatever we are doing, it has that grace and beauty, the love and the greatness of the Saints, who are very great Saints, not ordinary, but tremendous Saints.It is being described, actually Gyaneshwara, in this power has really worshipped you. I wish we had people like Gyaneshwara, but they are inside my body. You are all outside.And whatever he said has to be fulfilled. Not only that, but whatever he said is the truth.For all these Pujas you must have that depth, that greatness, of those great Saints who came on this earth, worked for you, created this atmosphere.Think of them, what they have done. They have fought all the time. They were tortured. They had none of these facilities that you have. They had nothing of this enjoyment, nothing of the kind.While you have got it all, everything on a plate.So, be deserving people, authorised people, and work it out in that way.Otherwise, this world we cannot change. V4.20.Mar84.p16

(674)This Puja has very special significance, according to me, and has to be done by people who know that they are these great personalities. It has nothing to do with your so-called positions in life, or anything that is outside. It’s the inside. In this seminar one must not talk too much about outside things, but just talk about God, your Mother or Sahaja

Page 19: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

Yoga, so it works out both the ends, it works out better. It is the simple thing one has to understand that God has been so kind to you, so kind. You don’t have to fight for your Saintliness, nothing.You are all brothers and sisters. You are all here, so much close to each other; you are not alone. You are so great that you can know what you are. Who told them? Who looked after them? Who helped them?Today you are just like VIPs. So please try to understand that you have to have a very humble attitude towards all the Saints, and towards Sahaja Yoga. Try to absorb as much as possible. Be kind to yourself … so keep that dignity, that feeling that you have come here in a very big position. And so keep that understanding within yourself.

‘May God Bless you All!’ V4.20.Mar84.p16(675)Now, people who come from Christian ideas, you see, identify with Christ. Christ is Me, now, sitting before you. It is all said about Me. I can feel the attention. It’s all said about Me. I have to say one thing, that when we are identified, say, Hindus are identified with some books, but, because Christianity has been, like Islam and all that, an organised religion, the identification is much more in the brain. It’s very difficult to get out of it, and you do not know that the Bible itself has so much discrepancies.Every chapter is full of discrepancies, one chapter says Christ was born before John the Baptist, another says after.So, there is a kin of an attack, even on the scriptures. We must understand as Sahaja Yogis because we are standing with the light in our hand, that all these books have attacks of all the negativity. Like in our Indian temples, you’ll always find negative people going there and doing all the Tantrik-Vidyas and all the base things. Even in the churches you know we have got people who call themselves ‘charismatic’.So this is going on, and they are going to their own doom by taking to this kind of a wrong attitude. So it is to be understood that you should be so much conditioned by those things.

V4.20.Mar84.p17

(676)You should keep yourself above to see what is the truth of every religion, that they belong to the same principle, and we should not adhere to something because we were born in that, or we are conditioned into it, that’s not the sign of a Yogi. A Yogi has no religion outside. He has no nationality. He is rifted of all these things. So, try to understand that you are a Yogi and you need not adhere to these psychological conditionings that are being created in your mind. You understand that, then you’ll rise much higher. Because of the

organised religion it is even more difficult to get out of it. And that’s what we don’t understand. We want to bring everything to that which is gone, and which is being perverted, spoilt and misrepresented. So, try to have your own understanding of the whole thing of the past.You are now entering into another life of marriage, and it’s a great responsibility on all of you to see that you make your marriages successful. And you have to see that you behave in such a manner that you create a proper Motherhood within yourself, and such a discipline that you want your children to imbibe and your husband to have.

V4.20.Mar84.p17(677)So, now the first thing is that you have to have perfect discipline of your temperament, and is a sight that you are the people who represent this Mother Earth, who has a special wisdom and a special power to express that wisdom. So all of you have to be extremely careful that whatever you do will be reflected in the whole family and in the whole Sahaja Yoga system.Now, when you get married to your husbands, try to understand that you are the Mother Earth and you have to give.And because you have power, you can give. Because you have so many Shaktis within you, you have to give. That means you are superior in a way, that you can give. So that your ego should not stand up all the time and say, ‘Why should I do it? Why should I?’And then you start enjoying your womanhood.So try to be good mothers, good wives and responsible Sahaja Yoginis. Those who, after marriage, try to deviate their husbands from Sahaja Yoga are really the most cursed ones. You should have sweet tongue for others, you should careful what you talk, you’ve to be responsible. You are special people that are married in Sahaja Yoga. I hope you’ll keep this in mind.

V4.20.Mar84.p17(678)Today I am going to talk about Attention.What is Attention, what is the movement of Attention, and what are the ways and methods of raising our Attention? Keep it in broad ways, alright?But when I am saying all these things you must know that I am talking to you individually. It is not about others.Always the first thing human beings do when I am speaking to you, you try to find out about whom Sri Mataji is speaking.This is the best way of putting your attention on to something else. If you put your Attention to yourself – that ‘this is for me, and me and me alone’!, then it will have an effect, because these are mantras and that

Page 20: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

is why it is wasted, because whatever is given to you is thrown onto another person.So the Attention that you have is the only way to know reality. Your own Attention is important, not the Attention of others, or your Attention on others. This must be clearly understood. If you understand this point, that the whole thing is to be consumed by you, through your Attention, to raise yourself to a higher situation. Otherwise, it is like giving food to you and another person is getting nourished.

V4.20.Mar84.p18(679)You should know that your Attention should absorb all that I am saying – it is not meant for anybody else. You better sit in thoughtless awareness, that’s the best way, so that it goes into you, otherwise it’s like a lecture, you know. That you listen to me has not the effect. Every lecture will transform you because after all I am speaking, but, because you always think o others and you think of your problems, all the time something nonsensical is going on, about which you are worried – and the Attention is so overloaded that whatever is said to you does not go into you. Go now, utilise it by being attentive and knowing that all these nonsensical things have no value.It is your Attention that has to come up, and has to grow. So, Attention is the whole canvas of your being. Complete canvas. How much you have gone into it, how much you have discovered it, how far you have raised it – is a different point.

V4.20.Mar84.p18

(680)Attention is Chitta and God is Attention.How far you have been enlightened is a different point.

But your Attention is God; if you become enlightened to that extent.It is like a canvas, you can say, which is spread out for a film, and whatever aptitudes or, you can say the ‘drags’ or ‘movements’ of your Attention shows on the canvas.

I do not know what is the word for ‘Vritti’ in English language. It is not ‘aptitude’ but a person gets ‘prone’ to, or his Attention is dragged to – I do not know if there is a word in the English language for Vritti.

V4.20.Mar84.p18

(681)So, our Attention is just a pure, completely pure, canvas, and is acted upon by the three Gunas we have, to begin with. And the three Gunas come to you, as you know,One from your past,One from your future sense,and one from the present.Now, whatever have been your experiences about a particular thing, or a particular occasion so far, is completely recorded in your memory. For example, if you see black colour, all that goes with the black colour is recorded in your memory. As soon as you see this black colour, quite a lot of it comes out. That means as soon as you see this with your Attention, your Attention gets muddled up, or you can say the Attention gets coloured with all the memories about this black colour. And then your Attention takes place according to the way your Attention is affected. For example, just now something was burnt by these flames. Now, all of you became aware of it. Next time, when you see a flame, first thing that will happen will be that you will be cautious about it. It is not going to happen again, but the whole memory will come to you, and you will try to be cautious and warn others because your Attention will become aware of that. That canvas of your Attention will start throwing out these pictures, through your past experiences. This is a living canvas.

V4.20.Mar84.p19

(682)This is a living canvas.Or maybe that if you have got some ideas, which you have premeditated or thought of, of the future, for example, you must have thought of somebody, ‘that if I meet that man I will tell him like this’ – as soon as you meet that man, your Attention will start bubbling out with those ideas that are coming about this man and you will start addressing him accordingly.It is all stored up within you, whether it is about the future or the past – is given out of the Attention through that bubbling process which depends on your ‘dragging’ nature. Where you are dragged, that is called ‘Vritti’, but I do not know what you call it in English language. I do not know. ‘What you are prone to.’

V4.20.Mar84.p19

Page 21: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

(683)Vritti is a very neutral word.It does not mean anything bad. It means, where you are drawn to.Vritti means a temperament by which you are drawn to. Whatever is your temperament, it acts like that.For example, if you see a man walking, say, blindly, he cannot see things.One person may get angry with that person.Another may have pity for that person.Third man may come forward to help him out.Is the vritti, is the temperament you have developed through your three Gunas.That is why this Attention becomes identified with you, and when you are identified with this, your vritti, your temperament – then you are still in a misidentified area.

V4.20.Mar84.p19

(684)Let us take the case of somebody who was possessed before. Now, coming to Sahaja Yoga, his possession goes away.But the memory remains in the brain – that he was possessed – and the memory is stronger in a person, left side is stronger, then that memory lingers on and as soon as that person comes into contact with anyone which has got something to do with the past possession it clicks, and the whole thing starts coming into you, bubbling out, and you think you are again possessed.It is the memory which gives you, it is a myth, it is the memory that tells you ‘Oh, you are again possessed’. Because your left side is weak, means – you always live in your memory, your memory is stronger than yourself.

If you could make yourself stronger than your memory – nothing can possess you.

V4.20.Mar84.p19

(685)But after you get your realisation, you are still not identified with that state of mind in which you see your ego and superego as myths. Still you get caught up into your ego and superego, and that is why your attention is still in a mess. In a pure, simple way of Attention, in an innocent child, he sees everything in Pratyaksha, means in actual experiencing of something, for a child, because he has no memory. So he will have to burn his hand to feel that this burns, and touch something cold to know that it is cold. So, into the actual experiencing of it he lives, but that that actual experiencing becomes the memory, and once the memory is built up stronger, the whole personality is affected by memory. All the conditioning of all kinds comes through that. Even the whole atmosphere can come to you, smelling a soap or a rose; you may feel really elated, happy or unhappy, because of memory. This memory might have given you superego, or might have given you ego. This ‘canning’ might have taken place – if it is satisfying your ego you feel very happy; if it is superego, if you are suppressed by this, then you feel very unhappy.You have to go beyond the myth.

V4.20.Mar84.p20

(686)So, both things, like happiness and unhappiness, are the states where you are still in the myth.Still the myth exists. You have still to go beyond.So, if you feel happy about some situation, you should know that you are only happy before realisation, because it is giving some support to your ego to bloat.And if you are unhappy, then you should know that there is some sort of suppression on your ego and there is superego developing.So both situations have been of no help to you.Of no help to you for your growth. Both these institutions develop so much that you are away from the real experiencing.The real experiencing stops because your Attention is so muddled up.So, on one side, if you move on the left side, your Attention is muddled up with fear, with pain, with unhappiness, with hopelessness of dejection.The other side, if you indulge too much, on the right side, you start getting elated, excited, over dominating.

V4.20.Mar84.p20(687) (see 686)The colour of the left side is blue,and the blue colour starts changing to black.While on the right hand side it is, to begin with, yellow,

Page 22: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

light yellow, or, you can say, golden.Then yellow, then orange and then red.So you go to aggression on the right hand side.On the left hand side you go into a complete state of, entropy, you can call it; or a state where you are separated from yourself into complete frozen state.So, on one side you become completely frozen,on the other side you become completely heated up.Both these things are again movement in the wrong direction.

V4.20.Mar84.p20

(688)Even in the centre, when the Attention is kept, that you keep your attention more in the centre; there also, because it is a very sensitive point, it does not stay there.For example, when we, say, use fire, we can use it for burning the house. In the same way, we can use it for creating smoke.But we can also use this fire it its proper way, if we use it in its proper proportions, for cooking the food, for giving us light.If it is too much it can burn like a big fire.If it is too little, it can burn like smoke.But in the centre, when you know how to balance it, then you can use it for your own purpose:For cooking,or for giving light,and then for a Puja too.

V4.20.Mar84.p20

(689)So, in the same way, when we really balance our Gunas properly, then we become gradually the master of the whole situation. The Attention does not get dragged into things that we have been doing, or that we have understood through our memories, or through our experience, whatever that is.And it is not also dragged towards too much on the right side, that we try to overpower, or try to dominate someone.

Because if you move too much that side, you have seen that it becomes blood.It is difficult for people to understand how, when we become very religious minded, like now Iran, the movement is on the right, all the austerities, all that, everything, now, bloodshed.Christians also did the same.Brahmins did the same in India.Buddhists did the same, even though they talked of non-violence, they got to bloodshed because movement started right-hand side.

V4.20.Mar84.p21

(690)Left-hand side movement will take you to very sly and dark methods. So right-hand sided people like big nations who are supposed to be developed nations, they justify war, ‘We must have weapons to face each other.’But you all, each other, are the same people from God’s point of view!Why are you fighting? I mean, God asks you, ‘Why are you fighting? What is the need? Why do you not sit down properly and listen to each other? What are you fighting about?’You are fighting about land. Is it your father’s land?It belongs to God!God has created this land. Why are you fighting?But your Attention is such that immediately you say, ‘Oh, this is my land, this is my motherland, this is my fatherland, this is my brotherland.’But what about your land which is within you? Is it not your own?So, if you go on telling these people that we should have no war, they would not listen. Realisation is the only way. By realisation your attention gets higher and separated from that strata where these things ‘bubble’ in. You understand my point now?

V4.20.Mar84.p21(691)By Realisation, the strata goes higher.The Attention goes higher. At a higher state –and these things that used to bring in, by right side movement, you get (vikshepa) confusion. Must you get confusion?Every intellectual, whatever brilliant he may be, he is confused. And the more confused he is, the more he asserts himself. This is the thing, this is the thing. I mean, if it is so, why should you assert it? But he goes on asserting. Then, understand that he is now going towards lunatic asylum. Absolutely. ‘We must all do this’ – and he convinces many others who are much more confused and they find somebody who is not so confused, outwardly.

Page 23: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

They depend on him, they stick onto him, he becomes a leader, and all of them get to war or some sort of bloodshed, they want to see blood.They become heartless, passionless.Compassionless, you can say, Compassionless, Loveless people.

V4.20.Mar84.p21

(692)The other movement is the blue side, the blue is like the blue moonlight.So, further romanticism starts, you see. Sitting in the moonlight, you see! The ideas start coming from Lord Byron, and they come into your attention, then it becomes a very strong passion with you! You think, ‘Oh, I am still, you see, I have to find out my loves, you see’, and you go in search of your loves, and this and that.These things really are not giving joy. That is why so many poems have been written, that love is the most painful thing, is worse than death, and all sorts of poems are written like that, so why do you get in it?I mean it is already written down, books after books!Still why do you get into it?You have to be in equilibrium.

V4.20.Mar84.p21

(693)You are already warned about it, that don’t go after love. Love is deception, love is this, that, it is very temporary, it is for the little while that you get that.…By chance, if somebody could stop at a point, by marrying somebody who is sweet enough and realise that love and marriage and all these things are in the centre; are like the fire in the kitchen, are like the fire in the temple, looks after it, does not overdo something about it, then may be that this may be utilised.In the same way, right side movement of the Sun-line, if people think that ‘Yes, sun is important. We have to sun in the use’. But you are not to become naked and insult the sun and get skin cancer. But if you overdo it, it is also dangerous.

A person who exposes himself too much to planning, and doing that and doing this, and doing all this can land into very great difficulties.So, you have to balance that side also, and this side, and you have to be in the centre, in the equilibrium.

V4.20.Mar84.p22

(694)Now this word – equilibrium – does not exist in our day to day life, it exists only in fiction, or maybe in the so-called scientific research. But as far as human beings are concerned, they do not know what equilibrium is.Because of this, the Attention – though after realisation it comes up,still on the sides they just go down, this side or that side, according to your vrittis.And when these identifications still act in them, they are prone to go down again in their attention, and again start bubbling out the same thing they had.Now one has to become lighter in ones own mind and should think, ‘We have dropped all that, why are we there?’One should become lighter with all that load flowing out, because you are here to raise your Attention to higher and higher so that you come up to a point where you become One with the Attention of God.

V4.20.Mar84.p22(695)Already your Attention is sparkled, because, through your Attention, you can see what is wrong with you, what is wrong with others, and how far you are going with yourself. But, the progress is retarded, because you do not know that this Attention is pure form, and all that you get into this Attention is mythical stuff, is a myth. If you drop the myth, gradually treat everything as a myth, and not depend on becoming unhappy or happy, just seeing the thing, your Attention will take a flight, and it will be at a much higher level residing there. Instead of that every movement you go this way or that way, you see, it goes on like that, and the movement upwards is much less. Even in Sattwa-guna, when you rise, you can go much worse in that condition also, for example, if you say that, ‘I am trying to be Sattwa-guni’ - In Sattwa-guni it is that you start seeing everything, discriminating through your understanding – not through

Page 24: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

vibrations, through understanding – ‘ should we not, somehow or other, take out our Attention from here? Should we not give this up? Should we be charitable? Should we go and serve the people?’ Then there are people who think, ‘Oh, we are going to do something great’, like your Salvation Army. Let them be salvaged by themselves, I do not know what salvation they are going to do. So these ideas of Sattwa-guna can also immobilise you and can really freeze you down once and for all and can work you in such a sly, secretive manner you will not feel it. Once you work in a charity association, your Attention is finished. V4.20.Mar84.p22(696)But, if your Attention goes higher, say my Attention is ‘I am only nothing but a charity, I mean – what am I?’ It just flows, you just become the charity. So the difference between a person who is realised and a not realised is this – that the Attention which was giving myth as reality to you is gone now, is gone higher. It can see that it is myth, the Attention can clearly see that it is myth, and you can see yourself, and you can remove yourself. That, of course, I have to give you a push, no doubt, and I am working hard on that, to give you a push, but you should also know that mythical things must be dropped out, otherwise you will not grow. All mythical things must be dropped out.And the best way to do it is to be in thoughtless awareness; because as soon as you transcend these three Gunas you become thoughtlessly aware. You have to cross Agnya, and once you have crossed Agnya, these three Gunas, absolutely, you go into a state where you are ‘Gunatit’, you are beyond Gunas. So, you do not deliberately do anything, but it works out.

V4.20.Mar84.p22

Page 25: 1001 sayings of shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 03-0089 HHSM601-700

(697)But analysis is one of the diseases of the West. What are we analysing, sitting down here? Now they have analysed for a purpose, also done for God. Through their analysis now my things are recorded. Through their analysis I can go to the TV – if they allow me any time. Because of analysis it does not fit into me, they wouldn’t allow, they may not, it might be expedited, but, say, for example, if you had not discovered these things, for example, take it like that, and science was not discovered, your Attention would have been at least better off. Because of science, your Attention is also very much in confusion. So I do not know which one to praise, whether the science or the primitiveness. See, when you raise yourself to science also, you got to another extreme, as usual.Till you burnt out your complete Attention you were not satisfied. I mean, if you had kept your balance in science also it would have helped, but the balance was lot there. Give anything to human beings and they know how to make the worst out of it. They will go to the extreme. You give them a horse, they cannot go ordinary trotting or galloping, they must have double gallop, till they fall and die. Everything, you see, they are just on the run all the time. So, first thing needed is to steady down yourself and tell yourself – now, all these mythical things I am not going to allow to come to my Attention.

V4.20.Mar84.p24(698)You are giving too much Attention to myths, taking them a bit too seriously, they are just mythical. So now, for you, because you are enlightened, your Attention has to move to a higher space.Now, actually what has happened in realisation – Your Kundalini has risen and has come up just like, you can say, a small thing hair, one hair, say, and that has broken your Sahasrara. And now, the Grace is flowing into it. But it is a very small movement that has taken place, of course, which is a very difficult movement, no doubt; but it has taken place. No you have not expanded like this. Your Chakras are only pierced in the centre, but the rest of the Attention is still intact, that you do not even feel that it is pierced. Now you have to expand that, open it out so that more strands of Kundalini can rise and your Attention, which is in these centres, expands. By expansion it drives out all that is mythical on the sides.On every centre we have our Attention, which is being enlightened in the centre through the light passing through. But the light is too small for the darkness that you have collected. Specially for the people of the West. I should say your confusions – you must get rid of them, but still you identify.

V4.20.Mar84.p24

(699)Still you identify.Because, if I ask you anything, ‘How are you?’, means what?Means you are still confused. Alright?Confusion should go.One confusion was there that, ‘This is Realisation or not?’ I hope that is over now with you people.At least now you believe it is self-realisation, I had to tell people, ‘No, no, you are self-realised now, you are’, still they would jump up like a Jack-in-the-box. They will say, ‘No, we’re not Mother. How do you this is realisation? We expect this out of Realisation, and that out of Realisation, that we’ll be flying out of the door if we are Realised’, or some nonsensical thing like that.Thank God these ideas have gone away.But when we are Realised, there is a light that has come in us, we have to grow it, only by separating our Attention from the myths. V4.20.Mar84.p24(700)The MasteryIt is all mythical. I also play with you.Because, unless and until you are sure, I am not going to give you a wrong idea about yourself. I want to see how far still you Attention is moving. and I know, still you are not sure. Still you are not sure of yourself. That is why the confidence is not there.First of all you have to learn to drive, then you are tested. There will be five stones put together, and the distance will be only that hardly a car can pass through and the fellow will say you, bring it zigzag, and you cannot do it. Why? That is how he makes you the master.The mastery of your attention will come when you start seeing that it is all a myth that upsets you. It is all a myth that upsets you. Just throw it away. Just throw it away and understand that you are the Eternal Attention, that you are the Eternal Life. That only thing that keeps you away from it is ignorance, and ignorance is too simple to understand, that you have accepted myth as truth.Just drop it, it is all a myth. You will be amazed how your Attention will rise, all the nonsensical things which used to frighten you or elate you will drop out and you will just smile at it. Then only you are going to enjoy yourselves fully because your Attention would be completely drenched into the bliss of Self. I am saying you will, I say you are already drenched into that Bliss. Keep it up!
