 Editorial What is the Essence of Religion? The essence of Religion is to know God the Almighty. And one can never know the Almighty unless one knows the Spirit-for it is His reflection in man. And only through it can one know Him:-when it awakens to assume its seat in the Sahasrāra of the Cosmos, one becomes One with Him. It is the goal of all ascent, and without it ascent has no meaning, is sterile and deprived of essence. For we should know we are by His desire created, and made to become and remain One -part and parcel with Him. To deny the unity of the Creator and His Creation is an escape of the ego-and of those possessed by it. It is an escape of the individual and a denial of the Advaita (ia) nature of the creation. Contemporary with the great Shri Adi Guru prophet Shri Mohammad Dattätreya, another great soul Shri Adi Shankarāchārya took birth to reveal to Mankind the essence of the Advaita Philosophy-and as a rejoicing, it is said. was taken by Shri Adi Guru Dattåtreya Himself, from the seat of the Devi, Nanda Devi Parvat (in Himalayas), to the Feet of Shri Sadāshiva in Mount Kailasha-where the Saundarya Lahari was revealed to him. Any religion which does not reveal to man his unity with the Absolute through the grace and glory of the gift of the Atma within him-is not a religion. And any individual who denies the unity of God with His creation-or it's fulfilment,-denies the Love, Mercy and Compassion of God,-and the Love which is the essence of His creation. This fulfilment of God's love, is the incarnation and work of Shri Adi Shakti, Shri Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi-and it's fruit. Sahaja Yoga and Sahaja Yogis. There is nothing else of either meaning or significance-and this is the Nirmala Yoga and Nirmala Vidyā of the Universe. All else is mire.

So we must atmosphere, this, that. realize that there is something very peculiar There's no need to blame anyone, "Because within us, something absurd within us, that's somebody came we were influenced". What why it happens. We go forward, backwards, forward, backwards, all the time: What is influenced by me. How are you influenced this pendulum?

So the pendulum is the chitta, is the atten- tion. the point and he should face up to himself be into Nirvikalpa where I do not come The people who are not in the Nirvikalpa state are not going to be saved.

At least you must reach the state of Nirvikalpa: Do not blame mother, brother, is the matter with you? /'m here, you are not dominating? That means what is your level ? So tomorrow I have decided to tell you how to be at the state of Nirvikalpa. As l said, we can approach mentally. But mentally I say you take this medicine and you do not take the medicine; that is just a mental thing. The attention that moves trom left to right, right to left, goes on like that all the time. But the area of Sahasrara is the realm of The medicine is kept on the cupboard. You God, When the Brahmarandhra opens fully. then the heavens open within yourself.

Everything in Sahaja some still who are possessed, there are some Yoga cannot be explained. I cannot explain. I cannot because you don't have those With so many Saints, why should I have any worry of spreading of Sahaja Yoga?

But riow the attention Sahasrāra. These are specially created cells becomes dharmāteet-means the attention through the working of the Swadhisthana. loses its dharma. 7The dharma of the attention Passing through all the chakras, when they are such that we have to put the dharmas arrive at Sahasrāra they are equipped to taught by the prophets to control them, handle the brain's activity without getting Because we are coming from the lowest level. So these dharmas exist in our being and start showing, and when they attack us, involved with the other cells-human beings, then we have to have some measures to control it. So we build up our dharmas, our own self-regulation, and control them, the dharmas which have cone to us from lower conditioning. This is the greatriess of human involved into other elements in the body. In the same way the Sahaja Yogis are not to be of the body of this universe.

Like you are, say, to Catch ding to the four valencies, it cannot make it a train and you arrive late at the station, you find the train is late for you. Things work out in such a way that you feel they are all active for your complete convenience. So you go beyond time-"kālāteet". it has to be in four valencies, it acts accor- six. But human beings can make those valencies established which are supposed to be representing the human dharma, the "Manudharma".

You become reach any point and the vacuum cannot be righteaus spontaneously. Sometimes such people puzzle you: like Christ took a hunter time where you find some part of it has to be in his hand and beat people who were remained. You cannot have a complete vacu- selling things in the presence of God, in the Um. But such a person has a complete sense, in front of the temples.

 Her Holiness Shri Mataji Sahaja Temple DELHI Our Goal is to be the Spirit- nothing but the Spirit Feb. 8 1983 Now you will be amazed that you go to any Indian University, you will hardly find aspirations between India and the developed four or five people to listen to me. Whatever countries, the way history has taken them: you are doing there, like Jazz, or say all these discoutheque business, hippism,-everything is now followed in our cities. So we cannot say that India is very much towards the Spirit, is a wrong idea. All our leaders, all our bureaucrats, all of them still think that Sahaja Yogi : Mother, today we would like you to discuss the difterence in the aims and and also what they have to offer each other. SHRI MATAJI: Apparently India has the same aim as you had before. They are actually trying to follow you-apparently. in our political systems, we are trying all your methods, in our economic development you are the happiest people living in the we are trying all the paths that you have following your methods, they are going followed and faltered. In bur approach to education we are trying to follow you. In our mental development we are trying to follow absolutely out of date person, and they will the West. Even the young people of this country are now trying to follow you, even copy you, in every way. So 'apparently this is the condition of this country. Whatever you did about, say, twenty years back, we're are not thinking of saving the world, but doing the same now. And we are getting following the world, into the disaster into into a state where the decline might start very which it is going. We are joining hands, soon.-'Apparently', I'm saying. whole Universe. And they are blindly abroad to learn all your styles of disaster. And if I talk to them, they will think that I am think I am just talking because I have no sense in my brain. So apparently, in this country, today, we you see, all the countries which are not yet developed. See we have two categories, one are developed and one are not develo- ped. These brands have come from the West, But as far as myself is concerned, it was the other way round. I could see the future of the disasters of that we are not yet developed, so we must Industrial Development long time back, and develop, because if their tail is cut, our tail also where all such people who are blindly also must be cut. And they are giving us following the West will go into. So my money to cut our tail. whole search, personally, was to go towards the roots, towards the Spirit, towards the by giving us money, sometimes humiliating subtler side of life, which will in any case sustain the human race. So the development they are putting in us and doing all kinds of things, and trying to develop us. Of course it is true that poverty Virmalo Yoga 24

 anywhere is a threat to prosperity anywhere, cannot submit to the higher goal, but the and that if you people are living well or are lower goal also they have submitted in a having Kshema' then its a different point. But way because the matter is now sittting on overall picture of the West that I see is full their heads, of unhappiness, of darkness, and hopeless conditioning; at least the developing countries have some hopes, may be of the disaster, but country. Since ages we have been living a they have some hopes. Now in India since ages it is a traditional different life. When ancient times...you see now, even the climate is so good that you You don't eed so many things in this country. So in the So now, for you people to understand that can stay outside in a forest. you are facing a big shock is sensible, because you are advanced in that direction. ancient times so many people, we can call as Now in the West whatever you have done, still, because of ego orientation your leaders out what is the basis of human beings? are not willing to accept that you are in a disastrous condition. Your political systems the ultimate goal of human beings? And they are not going to admit that you are no good, found out that it is the Spirit. And they that you have harmed yourself. It is too based all the Indian laws and Indian much for them to admit that they have philosophies, Music, Art, Dance, Drama- committed this mistake, because they will not every aspect of life on the basis that'we eat the crow. who is going to convince the Indians that you better take to another course. Seers and Saints, went into the forest to find What is the meaning of human life? What is Under these circumstances have to become the Spirit'. But when we have the western influence and western education put on to us, everyone decided that What has gone wrong with the West is give up whatever was traditional, whatever that they have never worried about their Spirit. They have negated all that is Spirit. really bothered at all about the ancient things all that is subtler life, and have thought that it is better to master the matter, master all these things which they can master. was old, and take to this. And even if we were in our country, it was more academic, so that you could write books, you could write something by which you can make some money, giving some new ideas or giving Yesterday, as I told you in Hindi language some new samples, so people might be that whatever you master is lower than you, attracted. There was no serious probing into is not higher than you. So if you have to go further, you have to go little higher, you have to fix a nail to go higher. And whatever you think you can have, or whatever things you things. And ultimately what was accepted can use for your purpose are lower than you. in the West was tantrism. It is the tantrism But if you want to be higher then you have to be useful to that higher goal. So you Nothing else, that they could see something have to be humble and you have to accept better. Like you can say, that if you go to that "if we have to be higher, we should allow the sea, you will find lots of muck coming up that higher thing to rule us". And surrender to that higher thing instead of dominating being appreciated, not the depth of the sea these lower things, it is better to submit where you find the pearls. So with that yourself to something higher. Because of they are now thinking that you see, the ego this submission is an impossibility. We Indians are the people who indulge into this the subject matter. It was just superficial way of dealing with that really has impressed the western people. on the superficial level and that is what is Nirmala Yoga 25

 once we get money-oriented you see... the and anybody who does not know tantrism is people who have money in this country are just the same as you are. But we used to look down upon that kind of community like Märvādis and all that, but I find in the West most of the people are just like Mārvādis, kind of a tantrism, that kind of a tantrism, not sophisticated. At the same time development you had such horrible people there, like Freud and others, that you lost all their styles are just like Märvädis only. your traditions, your ideas about Spirit, whatever it was; came through christianity or any other source, even the christianity qualities which are within, you have just got itself ruined the whole chances of going near everything outside, inside there is no develp- God. But on the whole what has happened is that the whole attitude of the human much load has been taken, so much has been beings in the West now seems to be a sex point. They just want to be a sex point, I mean absurd it is ! That is what of a glass for this kind of an alcohol, that they are reduced to on one side; on other kind of a thing only; you see ultimately what side is more surprising, is that, with all IS the goal I just don't understand. You see, affluence and everything people are very stingy. They are extremely money-minded don't find there is any goal. It is just a kind and very-very stingy and narrow minded people. Despite you have all the weapons with you, people are so frightened, they don't after from one want to another, to another even allow a little baby to enter their house. With the Atom-bomb at your disposal, they like mad. That's all it is. What is the goal are so frightened of others. See the immigra- of a mad man? I am amazed the way people tion laws, more strict in the Western countries are money oriented there. It's most surprising. than in the Eastern countries. Where the And I asked somebody, I said, "why do you people are really having a problem, they have need so much no problem of getting any number of people so much money, why are you so money coming. You see, how many are there on the road if you walk. So many you will meet. How many are settled down here, money." What is your life style? "We have But this fear has come into the minds of the to drink". Must you drink? I mean if you mighty nations. They are disgracefully gene- in your so-called So instead of developing all the higher ment. It is all outside development. So put upon yourself, the norms you see: this kind of a glass is needed for wine, that kind you get lost. What is the goal. I just get lost, I of a madness, a crazyness to create more and more and more, and like-mad to run want to another want, and go on like that oriented?". They said, "Our life is such, our life style is such that you have to have can not afford why do you drink? So drinking If they are generous, it is disgraceful, is a thing very sophisticated there. Not in money-minded. India. In India if somebody finds somebody rous. 'extremely or they are money-oriented.

Of course, not these wester- in the West. i myself, you see, was surprised nised,I am not talking of westernised. that how could they be so much money- Normally nobody will have any relationship with them. So the virtues and the righteous- ness of life, which is the basis of life, the oriented. While in the East so far they are not. The goal of life, is itself in question there. So the advantage is, thank God, we are not "develo- goals they have accepted are all anti-life, ped." That we are not so money oriented, anti-God, anti-human beings. Nirmala Yoga 26

 yet,-thank God ! we haven't when you try to develop outside you must have inside development. To carry all this Here, developed that pressure of the matter on our heads. So still inside we are large people. junk also you need an elephant, whether it I mean there is lot of room for us to grow, is 8 junk or anything, you need an elephant. inside. But the outside rules are so much and the norms and the whole sort of ideas ant and carry all this junk, then that junk which flows from the minds. Like the other becomes more important than this little ant day they said, "Now a days you see, more inside, is't it? And that is exactly what has fashionable is to have this kind of a dress." happened in the west. I said, why? Then what will you do to the old ones. "They are to be thrown out, this is fashion". So the inside elephant, if you make it into an Now in India. so far people have still some toom to grow because they have'nt But I said how did it come. They said, "There is a fashion designer yet developed so many non-sensical ideas. somebody very well known, in Paris, has brought in this fashion" But for what? I mean there is no questioning "But for what?" Your dress was comfortable, good, nice, if it was already say, five years back, why today just crawled into it, you see, and nothing but suddenly this dress is going to be much Useful? See to the point. The sun is rising domination of this matter on you. You are The first time we had people here from the west, and all the time what they were seeking was comfort; 'crawling" into the corners of comfort. Anywhere they got comfort they is "comfort". And the comfort is nothing but the same way, the light is the same, the rain is the same, now why your dress has to change every third month? not free birds. Your body always needs comfort: If you allow your body to lie down in one pose all it's life, it will be very These are all the problems because once happy. It will say "Alright, let it grow, I you start looking up at your ātmā, your brain am eating my food, starts working. And the brain starts, like a machine it spins, goes on spinning, spinnig, don't go out"; everything attached to it. Very spinning, spinning ideas. And this spinning nice body. goes round and round you and you become like a spindle completely covered with the str- ings. So you have no way to grow. You just fort also is so much, that they have lost the don't grow at all, Inside there is no growth it is only outside growth, you see. When people walk along, you find lots of plastic han- ging around this side, lot of tins jingling that side and lots of steel hanging that side. They are walking very proudly. But inside there is not an elephant. there might be just being they have become that unless & until an ant carrying all these things. I am doing everything here.

So to get to com- power to see that the so much comfort has made us slave and that we have no goal left, we have become like cabbages. Such lethar- gy, that nobody will believe that these are the same people who came in this country and fought us. Such lethargy and such heavy somebody rouses them, they cannot give up the comforts. To them comfort is the last end of happiness. But thank God in this country, we are not yet developed but I can't say that it will be like that, because we are feeling very inferior that we are not yet developed outside. The inside development nobody thought of, that So first comes the sex point, second is the comfort which is another siavery. Now third comes the ego. Ego is the goal or 27 Nirmala Yoga

 we can't help it, we have to tell lies in in every respect. How smart they are? How this country, otherwise you can't exist. We they have befooled everyone? How they have to do lot of hanky-panky. otherwise you have been able to get rid of others, to outwit can't exist". All these excuses they can others, to laugh at others to make fun of give. "How to feed our children unless & expression of ege is the goal of the west,- see them, make a joke out of everyone, and until you are dishonest." think that they are the wisest "fools", is the goal of ego. Because you know ego makes So the other side of it, that the goal of you stupid. And so the goal of ego, to make Indians now, apparently again, is of course, you stupid, is so much that small-small I mean as far as morality is concerned is all things that the western people do even or- right, they won't look out at other men's wife, dinary villager in India will roar with laughter they will give their daughters an education, to hear, "Oh! do they do like that." Which of remaining a good wife, creating a good the western people might think, "Oh I we are society. But, as far as the other moral side is great". So this is the trouble, that when the concerned-keeping the honesty of money & stupid people start laughing at others, thin- all that, that they will not do. So one side king, "Oh! these are stupid people, useless people are miserly, because they think they are honest. You see, because if they are honest people," then how to tell them? You can not talk to them because they think that they are they are martyrs, naturally, because they the wisest ever known, because they are the think that if they have remained honest they best ever known. You can't tell that this is have done the greatest favour to God. So they are martyrs, so their money is very precious, every pie they spend, they must ask for account. Indians believe in earning money some way or the other and then spending it the way they like, So I do not know which stupidity. The wisdom lies in knowing your Spirit. But yet, you know it is hard to find yet an Indian; he may to the most westernised, a goal is correct. great miserly, useless fellow or may be a very narrow minded westernised fellow in india. They are lost on this side, and you are You were just like Indians, to begin with, but Tost on other side. But still, in lIndia, because then you ended up into something else and now Indians are becoming like you, so I can't say westerners are just the people who are to be a sort of like a caste. Not. You see, we Indians can become like you, exactly like of traditional training, parents still holding fort, better society is here. You will hardly find an Indian who will believe in absurd thing in which you believe. Absolutely obtuse absurd and also anti-God things that you believe to be good. That is why they have not reached that much development. I mean But still, because, you see, we have our it's like, you see, your brain developing so roots rather deep, we cannot uproot ourselves much that it goes the other way round, and you become just a person who sees everything today believe that a Saint is definltely higher in a different angle in an angle which is just than them, and to become a Saint it is a great the opposite of that. So yet that much deve- thing. The aspiration of an Indian is to become lopment has not taken place, you see, from concave to convex, they have not become. but there are ascapes of the mind that "how So there is still some space with the Indians. can we become that we are house-holders, But because you have seen the disaster you you, even worse than you. to that extent. So most of the Indians even the Spirit, most of the Indians think like that Nirmala Yoga 28

 are facing some of you, who are, thoughtful is people who have not reached that height of the Most generous Father you could think of idiacity, are very great seekers, ardently and He looks after our material side, so we' seeking, working it out. But Indians are not that much of seekers, I must say, because deliver the goods. He is the Father, who don't have to worry about it, it just happens that he looks after. But they will comne and they still think that, "Alright, we have to complain, "my material side is just the same believe in the Spirit. alright good idea, we have to be the Spirit." But partly the Spirit something about it and then I will'never do." partly the other side of it, Becuase they are better off than us. So still they want to go half way this side and half way that side. So Indians are not such good seekers, you have very good seekers, but there is a convexity. rence between the goals aims and objects. There is concavity. but there is no seeking, As far as I am concerned, I look at this side can you imagine my situation; Indians have no goal as far as spiritual life is concerned, mostly. Il they have it, it is so limited that it should help them in family life, in their goal and that is to rise in Spirit. Not related relationship with others, with their bodies or with their jobs, or with their marriages or little more and little more, that is all. But very gross. the goal is extremely gross of Indians, is that they want to achieve a kind you people believe, that you should become of an affiuence that you have, in their heart of hearts: But they do not know the pangs. I don't know what to do now Mother, do On the contrary they should say "my Spiritual side is not all right. That's a better idea. This is the diffe- 18 and that side and I don't know what to say. Because all of you must have only one anyway there that they have to accumulate some wealth, or they have to do some sart of a material progression. And on your side that you have to do some material regression. Like hippies and you will go nearer to God: You will not, because your brain is beyond hip- pism, beyond everything, so you cannot. Your But they think that we can keep the brain is ultra-modern, how can you become Spirit as well as other side of it. you cannot, hippy, you become primitive outside. So in you cannot serve two masters. So now what your dresses and all that, even if you reduce to do? They would prefer to choose this side than to choose the Spirit. this hair style and all that, inside the brain is the modern brain-extra modern. So must understand that unless and until you bring So the goal of Indians today, is somehow the Spirit into your brain, all these outside or other to make money. If some body knows that you know certain Ministers, then they will be after your life, "Tell the Minister like this, will you tell your brother like this, your father like this". Everyone, all of them, will people are confused. They have seen the be just coming out with.. mean it is a value of this material affluence. So they are 'very nothing new, for them it's everyday affair style, that style. They are changing the style. to them to tell somebody" do get it done, it Alternate styles, but by changing the styles must be done." It is all gross it is all absoli- tely materialistic, but that is what their goal doing samething else. While the Indians is. Not the goal of the Spirit. To believe that think that they are poor and God should help God Almighty is the only one who is going to things are not going to help. So it's a big confusion. That is the modern times, are a canfusion, that the western common feature with Indians. It is trying to give up the material affluence also you do't achieve much. That's another them to make them rich. This is another Nirmala Yoga 29

 alternate style. This is also outside. Or they made a complete mess out of it. Here also we had great saints and great incarnations, but the saints are the people who told that you must seek, you must seek, Not that have no ochildern, then they will come, "Mother, I have no children" If they hava 100 many children, then, I have no job: You get them the job, then they will say "Marry my Christ did not say you do not seek, but elder daughter to some one." Then you do nobody is bothered on that point, whether that, they will say that do "this". But nobody we should seek or not. says "what about my Spirit my ? What about Atma?. Mother what about my Spirit? What is happening to it? Where is it? Am l alright? Ami clear ? So to say that Indians have the aims that are correct. is wrong. Or to say that you people have correct aims is also wrong, because your aims may be that you want to meet God, and you want to become the Kind to us, Mother be kind to us." For What? Spirit, but it goes wrong, because the methods you employ are all wrong. But in the east people know that we have to seek, wa have to get to God. But to get to God for what?-"Just that we should be benefitted in our material life". So this goal is of no use. "Mother, you are very kind,"-some of them say "be What kindness more you want. I have given you the Spirit, finished. Now what more kindness? But that does not mean, "You have But as far as the value of Spiritual life given us the realisation, but now look after is concerned, I would give the western people more marks-those who are seekers. is a very very poor show. And that is why / get Forget all that idiotic people, I am talking of the idiots but I am talking about kind of a aspect of Sahaja Yoga, I feel very the sane people, the Spiritual value is much disappointed. But I go to the West and very higher. While the Dharmik value of the eastern seriously they have problems which I just do people is much higher. So it's like some body who has lot of property and does not blems, because materially they are alright, so want to give, and somebody who has no they have emotional problems, And 'absurd" property and wants to give. So this is the emotional problems, they have, And these situation today I find in the East & the West. our Bank Balance." It's a very poor show, it disappointed.

That way Indians are money is alright, they enjoy giving, you see, somebody goes to their house, they will love to give him tea, coffee, serve food, all that So the aim as it should be whether East they like. Anywhere you go to their house, or West, should be to be what you are made they will not be stingy on that, they would like for. You are made a human being to be the to give.

 Human beings go on changing their goals. Depends on what level you are. If you are a poor man you want to become rich. If you are a rich man you want to become poor. But people have less quality, or the Eastern poor in the sense, poor inside, not outside. people have less intelligence, it is only that Now actually the goal of every human being they have no idea as to have only 'single- is to become the Spirit, nothing but the minded' goal to be the Spirit. in both the Spirit, that is the goal of every human being. And if you do not become Spirit then solved. whatever you are doing is against your goal. Once you become the Spirit, no more this human being, but the Spirit, then the whole thing changes in a different way, you act in a different way, you use your telecom- munication. you use your television, you use your things in a different way, at a different level. At the Unconscious, level. So you have to reach to that UnconsCIous have lost that subtle side of life, they just see And this is the message of your Mother. I have to give you the message. I have to give you the "right' thing. It is not that the Western cases. Once you decide on that. porblem A day may come when Westerners will be more Easterners than the Easterners. I mean, you see, in the West when the Indians go there,-the uprooted ones,-they are much more Westerners then you people are. They cannot understand Indian classical music, they do not like Indian furniture, they do not like Indian paintings, nothing. Because they level where "everything' is available for you, everything, That is how these miracles take place. Like the other day we wanted to buy some saris.

Now we got the saris for Indians) littlebit of the Spirit is lost as soon as one tenth of the price, we should say. of dne with the West, they just got transformed into eighth of the price of the saris that you get in the market. So, when the Spirit guides you get everything, there is affluence, and you are generous because it is so much of the So you like the life of the Spirit. But to say affluence in the real sense flowing. to the superficial side and they live like that, While you are becoming subtler. whatever was Because there hankering in them they went away from here. They get mixed up western life, and they have accepted it. While now you are transformed into your Spirit that Indians today are great people of Spirit, L must say, to be honest, they are not at all. Because of their past traditions here, because What I can only tell you is what goals you should have. And the goal as I told you is of this Yoga Bhoomi of course, they cannot to be the Spirit, that is what is your goal. To uproot themselves, but they are trying very me East, West, North, South does not count, hard to get themselves uprooted.All of do not know the directions. I only feel that if every human being in this world decides that he has to be the Spirit and Spirit alone Sahaja Yoga, they are still not trying to go all other probelms will be solved, because he lives with the absolute, not with the rela- tive, he does not compare. He is in absolute their complexes about their material life. It is state. He does not compare there is no rela- tivity. The relativity creates a problem, like developed, under-developed. All these are relative terms, isn't it! But if you are the absolute then there is no relativity, there is opinion about yourself. Today who look to no problem and you become the goal itself. them, are trying very hard to get uprooted. Even Sahaja Yogis, when they come to downward towards the Spirit, but trying to use Sahaja Yoga for building up so-called so It's a very sad thing, but that's a fact So it is meant for all the westerners and the easterners that don't be on a firm be lost may be the people who might guide Nirmala Yoga 32

To go to the subtler, or the Alaukika (*i). you have to give up from vour awn' angle, but from the Creator's using this brain. But you have to use the Spirit.

Now, what is so important for human So the importance we have not to see e angle; because you donot understand your importance as it is. Human beings never think "why have I become a human being"?

So l'll do the right thing". i# God wants us to do it, we'll do it". Just Such a decision anybody vwho says or takes, all your problems will be solved"-But why? tell ...you see, the human beings are like that. But it is important because "the 'most important thing is your Creator, and He wants you to have your Self-realization". Is the absolute thing. "If He wants it, alright". How many are there who will say. "Alright. for God's sake "THY 'WILL' BE DONE". whether he is north, south, east, west, any side, he is the Yogi.

 Sayings of Shri Mataji Dedication, Bhakti and Surrender You have to dedicate yourself completely to me; not to Sahaja Yoga. but to me. Sahaja Yoga is just one of my aspects. Leaving everything, you have to dedicate. Complete Dedication. otherwise you cannot ascent any further. arguing. Dedication is the easiest way to get rid of 'all' your angularities, all' your problems, "all' your badhas. Complete Dedication is the only vway you can grow further. Without questioning, without Krishna said. "Sarva dharmanām parityajya mamekam sharanam vraja"-forget all the religions of the world. There is no difference between Him and Me, but today I am the One. I am the one who has given you realisation. All these dharmas are to be given up "entirely. And you have to surrender fully from your heart. Here. as you are before me today, I want to tell you very frankly, as Krishna has told only Arjuna, Sarva dharminām parityajya, mamekam sharanam vraja". Shri Krishna has said. "Give up all your dharmas and surrender them to Me, surrender to my dharma only. You should only know what you owe to me", meaning the Divinity. Shri Krishna is not there, it's Me who is Shri Krishna, so you must know what you owe to Me. She can be only achieved through bhakti. She can only be ach jeved through Dedi- cation. She's only fond of Her bhaktas-the devotees. I should say. Emotionally you may feel closer to Me in your heart. But through meditation, Surrender. Meditation is nothing but surrendering-is complete surrendering. In your full freedom, complete freedom, you have to surrender. For this. meditation is the only way Only through your bhakti-through you Devotion and Dedication you can achieve Me. My achjevement is the complete manifestation of your Divine powers. It's very simple, made so simple, I'm only pleased by people who are simple, innocent. who'are not tricky, who are loving, affectionate to each other. It's very easy to please me. When I see you loving each other, talking good of each other, helping each other. respecting each other, laughing aloud together, enjoying together each other's company, I get my first blessing-first joy. So, the Dedication in meditation. Complete Dedication in meditation must be prac- ticed. It's not for your' good now you're doing it So-called 'your. First you were a little baby, a small thing. Now you are that Collective Being. so you are not doing anything for yourself, but for that collective being. You are growing to be aware" of that Whole, which you are going to become. Your jobs, your money, your wives, your husbands, the children, the father, mother. relations-these considerations are have to take up the 'responsibility of Sahaja Yoga. Everyone of you is quite capable; you're brought up for that. In Dedication. in complete Devotion, you have to do it 'now' not for your own good, for your own achievement-that's over now. Is for completely getting out of the mire and standing on the land, singing aloud the praise of your Father. You all over now. You've to bear the brunt; and the sacrifice-which are no more sacrifices to you because Spirit gives, it never sacrifices. It's quality is to give. So, you don't sacrifice, you just give. Our Greatest possession The greatest possession you have is your Mother. Through Her you have your brothers and sisters. Now. the name of your Mother is vary poNarful. You know that is the most powerful name than all other namas, the most pow arful mintra. But you must know how Nirmala Yoga 36

 to take it. With that 'complete Dedication you have to take that name. I have taken birth in this world in the binding of Sahaja Yogis and have been moving around only in their bind- ing. I am desireless and hence my everything depends upon your desires. Attain me, I am Suous, yours, I am for you. I have given you that which has been beyond the reach of very great sages and saints. When I am speaking it is a mantra, when I'm not speaking, is a mantra flowing. Those who are fanatically adhering to me are also not correct. There should be no fanaticism' about it. The Ascent Has To Come From You Unless and until you are cleansed how can you be completely blessed? You have to be fully blessed by the Divine, clothed by the Love of God. But now your ascent has to come from you. Your rising has to come from you. That has to be worked out by you' and 'you" alone. Not by any other Sahaja Yogi or by me. Develop that Dedication within yourself. So the tree of Kundalini has to grow. And from that tree, Paramatma Himself. the Parabrahma itself. has to pull you out. It grows out of the mire, and the Parabrahma has to pull you out-one by one, take you in the Hand and swing you out. On Love Try to love each other-in Dedication; because you're all my children, created out of my love. blessings. A 'deep love should exist. Selfishness has no place in Sahaja Yoga, Miser- liness has no place in Sahaja Yoga. In the womb of my love you all have resided. From my heart I've given you these You must have a heart as your Mother has Pulsating with love, with Compassion. with Joy, with Happiness, with Giving. That should be the attitude. Not rationality. Nothing, It is to feel. Feeling for the pains of others. Feeling for their longing and feel- ing for their aspirations. Just feel within yourself, is there Desire to be the Whole', to be the Ocean itself is so fulfilling All that is sustaining, all that is nurturing, all that is ennobling comes from this sense of love, which is within us very much developed, but within others also who are not yet realised The Great Message Tell all the nations and tell all the people, all over, the great message-that the time of Resurrectionn is Here. the ones who are capable of manifesting God's joy on this earth. You are the flutes which are going to play the Melody of God. I am doing all this to perfect you to be the 'most beautiful instruments of God. Like the ship is built, is brought to the sea, tried, and found out to be sea-worthy to sail out, when you know everything about the ship, everything about the sea. With complete freedom and wisdom, you have to sail now. Not afraid of any storms or any gales or any typhoons because now all you know. Your job is to cross through. Now. at this time, and that you all are capable of doing it. You are You become the Ocean, yoau become the Moon, you become the Sun, you become the Earth, you become the Ether. the firmament-and you become, the Spirit. You work for all of them. All the stars and universes you become, and take up their work. True Freedom Freedom in subtlest form is complete egolessness, no angularities, complete hollowness just like the flute; so that the melody of God could be played well-that's complete free- Nirmala Yoga 37

 dom. Freedom is when you really get your own powers which are within you. In your Central Nervous System, in your conscious mind, you must feel the existence of the Spirit. On Puja A Puja or a prayer grows from your heart. Mantras are the words of your Kundalini. But if Puja is not performed from the heart or if Kundalini is not associated with recitation of Mantras then that Puja becomes a ritual. Best is worshipping in the heart. You should say the Mantras in Puja but with great faith (Shraddha). You should perform the puja when Shraddha goes deep so that heart itself gets all Puja performed. At that time. waves of bliss start flowing because it is the Spirit that is saying. People pour their wine in the glass. Your Puja is like that. In that. wine is your faith and the glass is the recitation of Mantras and the worshipping. When you are drinking that wine forgetting everything how can a thought come ! Then only you are bathing in the ocean of bliss. However the joy that you get after drinking the wine is eternal and ever-present. The Infinite Treasure I have given you the key to the treasure, which others haven't got. But you must work to open the door. Do you want to go empty-handed despite having the key to the treasure? Why should one brag of one's achievements ? You must understan i that whatever is being done by you, is all God's power i.e. working of Adi-Shakti and you are only the witnesses to see these miracies. For achieving that stage you should pray. "May our l consciousness' fade away, may the truth that all of us are small parts of your being, be assimilated within us, so that your Divine Bliss would resonate every particle of our bodies and this life would be filled with beautiful melodies enchanting the whole mankind and would show light to the rest of the world", Let love flow from your hearts. Love is unlimited. Your attention is on material things and you are talking about eternity Your attention should merge in eternity so that you will have eternal life. Self-Realisation Complete Self-Realisation is that stage attaining which nothing else is required. Thereafter. only enjoying the bliss and the satisfaction of fulfilment. Man wants peace, wealth, power etc. but God is the origin of all these. We should pray to God for peace and keep the desire to meet God, who is peace itself. This should be the difference in satisfa- ction of a common man and that of a Sahaja Yogi. All attention must be on Him. For that, one must have dedication, determination and concentration (tapasvita) and in that all material attachments should be destroyed. A True Sahaja Yogi A Sahaja Yogi is happy in the circumstances that are prevailing. If he is not. then his satisfaction is superficial and not from within. A river starts with a very small, little drop, and then it expands, expands, expands, expands. central point The person who is a generous person. for him the whole world is his family. So expand your self. When you become the parents and then" you enjoy other children as much as you enjoy your child. then your generosity has started. You have to be a peace- ful person, not an aggressive person, The person who is peaceful is powerful-the one who doesn't react to anything else, is the most powerful. You have to be kind to others. You have You go to the source, "absolutely to the Nirmala Yoga 38

 to be neat and clean. First is forgiveness, second the detachment leading to compassion. These are the wheels of your chariot which moves you. You have been made like temples. Keep it clear. We are moving towards the soothing qualities of the Spirit. You have to 'soothe others and not to excite, but to soothe. Let God's melodies be sounded from your flutes. You must have the capacity to deepen your maditative po w3i, so that these ideals go and settle in your heart. as a part and parcel of your being. Once the saints know this is the principle on which we have to live, they become one with the principles. You become the mother, and you, whatever you are which has to grow, is the child. If you are a Sahaja Yogi you have to be a flower, and a strong flower, and an eternal flower that always grows, does not fade out. always growing, never fades. such a flower you have to be, Sahaja Yogis should never be angry. Without getting annoyed. they should improve everything tactfully and intelligently. Never get angry. Every individual has to work it out for himself so the Whole can be alright. There could be some people who are only worried about others. Worry about yourself and see the good points of others. If somebody has to tell you that you must organise, go fast and all that. do not feel bad. waste. Till you keep the maryadas of Sahaja Yoga, saying morning-evening-night that, am a Sahaja Yogi", nobody can harin you, hurt you. Nobody can trouble you. On the contrary you will be enjoying life if you keep to the "maryadas. We have to do so much wark in this warld we have no time to One must promise to God also that we will know about Sahaja Yoga. through proper understanding, reading every word of it. We'll master the knowledge of Sahaja Yoga. We'll keep ourselves clean. And completely surrender our lives to Sahaja Yoga. Surrendering to Sahaja Yoga is actually surrendering to joy, bliss and peace. Language should be sweet. your behaviour should be good, it should be very gentle and soft. You should. move like a Yogi, live like a Saint, and people should see through you the greatness of Sahaja Yoga. See the trees when they get their flowers. they are not so respectful ; but when they are laden by the fruits, they bow down to Mother Earth. In the same way when you have got the fruits of Sahaja Yoga, you all must bow down. You have to be sensitive to God and not to bad things. You have to change your methods. A Person who cannot change his methods cannot spread Sahaja Yoga because he sticks to only one way, with which people get bored. You should find new ways. An established Sehaja Yogi is the one who becomes completely one with God and wins Him over. He has to do everything for that. Conquering Ego Say from your heart: "I don't want this ego any more. I want Reality. Let the Reality be seen by me, felt by me, enjoyed by me". Once you start doing it from your heart, you will be amazed that your voice will become sweet. The second thing you have to surrender, is the pride, or vanity. Before God, what is your property? What is your money? What is your position? What is your family? What is your education? We should be proud of one thing only, that His vibrations flow through us. The human mind has another capacity, to be jealous, to be jealous of others. Another offshoot of ego is called 'hot temper'. Another enemy we have is greed. Material greed and also human greed. like possessing your wife, possessing your children, possessing this, possessing Mataji also. The ego and the super-ego both rise from the Vishuddhi chakra. You give up all your dharmas and surrender to Me. That is how your Vishuddhi chakra gets opened up. The matured people are those who surrender. who bow to the Mother Earth. Humility is the best way of conquering this ego of Vishuddhi. When talking to others, try to develop sweet methods, sweet ways, unhurting other people. You will be surprisad that Vishuddhi will immediately start behaving in such a sweet manner. Nirmala Yoga 39

 Kundalini Shakti Your Kundalini is the same as the Adi Kundalini. and it's power the Parabrahma. You are the officials of God's kingdom then why are you sulking ? All deities are your elder brothers in this kingdom. They are present in many forms along the path of Kundalini. You should recognise them and attain them. Kundalini is your Mother. Learn to always remain under Her care. tatwa which is flowing within you in the form of vibrations cleanses all your three sheaths viz. awakened within you, is Brahma Shakti and it is present in the universe in different forms and even in molecules. It is the solidity (Jada-Shakti) in solids, in living being it is beauty (Saundarya Shakti) in waking state it is the power of bliss, in Sahaja Yoga it is the power of consciousness bliss, in Param Yoga it is supreme bliss and within Bhagwati it is the power of being Brahma (Brahmabhootawa Shakti). Kundalini as you know, is the true desire', So true desire to perfect yourself, to grow yourself. If it is really true desire nothing else is important. Be Her child and She will take you to the ultimate. Brahma- Body, Mind and Ego. This power of callective consciousness which is How to keep Mother pleased "So how to please Mother ?" I am also a very simple person, so I want a simple hearted person. So this Heart Chakra is to be first looked after, that with your heart desire, you will keep your Mother pleased. First of all your heart must be clear. If the heart is not clear, then everything has no meaning, because it is a dark heart which is doing all these things. The heart has to be clean, absolutely surrendered and must try to put Me before everything else. The Lakshmi tattva has to become Mahalakshmi tattva. That is for your ascent. And just to get into that Mahalakshmi tattva, what you have to do is to use all your material things and your material being in such a way that you please Me. You have to keep your Mother pleased by pleasing other Sahaja Yogis, and not other people. What 'Guru Dakshina' (Gift to the Guru) have you given me ? Understand that your money is not worth the dust on the feet of your Mother-Guru. You should give your hearts: only clean and holy hearts. You must clean your physical beings. You must get up early in the morning and spend at least one hour on meditation and worshipping. Perform "Arti' and meditation in the evening. Discipline You are my children. How are people going to have respect for you, or for Me, if you have no discipline? The discipline has to come from "within yourself. The discipline of within is like the fragrance of a flower. It gives you complete freedom, and it gives freedom to others. You have to kill the greatest enemy within yourselfindiscipline and irresponsi- bility. Laws of the Divine One must know these laws of The Divine, that we have to live with self-respect. that we have to be chaste, that we have to have dignity, that we cannot steal money and steal things and be parasites. That we cannot kill others and we cannot beat others and say harsh things-they are just the same. And that we have respect, the respect for all that is sublime. Respect for all the saints that are Sahaja Yogis. And the respect for the leaders who represent your Mother. With all this, we are very different people. We are a different race. We are virtuous, we are righteous and we are proud to be that way. We are sure of everything. We know about everything. We are the personification of Compassion, of Love of God. That's what we are. We are not ordinary people. On the subtler side, is Compassion. Is Forgiveness. Is Love. But the greatest of all is the Servica to God. Wa are doing the work of God. How can we be tired? The dynamic is flowing through us. that Compassion is so fulfilling, that Nirmala Yoga 40

 love is so beautifying that how can we not do it? God has created this universe, this world and you people out of His Compassion only. just His Compassion. Blessings of the Devi There are so many blessings waiting for you, to be manifested. Just you have to concentrate your efforts in devotion and dedication. The enjoyment of life is only possible if we could get conected to the Spirit and that connection to the Spirit is only possible if you sprout into that: you become the Spirit as Christ has said in simple words that you have to be born again The whole existence itself will have no meaning if we do not become the Spirit. We all have to become the Spirt otherwise we are useless, we're good for nothing.'our life has no meaning. The Pure Desire There is only one pure desire and that is to be one with the Divine, one with the Brahma, one with God. That's the 'only' pure desire. All other desires are impure. So train your mind gradually to achieve that desire as the main thing. To achieve that you have to keep your Mother pleased, very simple. Bliss of the Spirit You get the bliss of the Spirit, if you become of sound body. pure mind and egoless. The only thing you can do is to enter into His Kingdom and become a part and parcel of that blissful domain. What to do after getting realisation? After receiving you must give. Agnya Chakra If your Agnya is alright, then your eyes are perfectly alright. They emit nothing but love wherever they glance. Only with a glance of your eyes you can raise the Kundalini; with the glance of your eyes you can cure people. Only with your glance you can bring joy into the destroyed, ruined people, with your eyes. They are the windows of your being. A realised soul's eyes sparkle like diamonds. One must know what to order and how to obey. Obey the Divine. Obey our elders. Obey your Self-and not your ego. Then you can order also others. Not only human beings, but the Sun and the Moon and the winds, and everything in the world. Everything you can control with this Agnya. If you know someone is going to do something wrong, take his name to your Agnya and he wll not do it. Anything you order on your Agnya must be respected. But your Agnya must have Christ there-your Agnya has to be clear. Those who have a good Agnya can master anything. You can really become the master of yourselves. When people see you they will know Christ is reborn again within you. As long as you have done no wrong, there is nothing to worry. And as it is. even if you have done some wrong God is there to forgive you. Culture of God It's the culture of God, we are talking about. it's the culture of His kingdom. Where we give to others, enjoy giving, doing for others. loving others. caring for others. without any return. VIshuddhi and Shri Krishna The best way to develop that absolute nature of your Vishuddhi Chakra is to witness the whole thing with a detached mind. And to develop love for your Mother in your heart. so that She cleanses all these enemies, in such a way that when you are faced with them. you are a powerful person. Shri Krishna is one of the aspects of Sadashiva which is the Father. And the Adi Shakti or the Holy Ghost is the other aspect of Sadashiva which is His Power The first aspect of Shri Krishna we have to understand is the Yogeshwara and the

When you enter into your ethereal zone. you actually enter into the area which is thoughtless awareness. The greatest quality of Yogeshwara is that He is not at all involved into it. detached. absolutely. Whatever He is, He is complete: sixteen petals is complete moon, SIxteenth day of the moon is Purnima. That is how one has to be, complete in oneself But confidence should not be confused with ego. Confidence is complete wisdom, it is complete dharma. Its complete love, complete beauty, and is complete God. That's what it should be It is the Virata Shakti that is manifesting at this time and not the Shri Krishna Shakti which was at His time. So the integration of this brain has to take place with Heart and with your liver. Then only the Virata Shakti takes another form The weapons of killing became the weapons of forgiveness So you are the fruits. That Viratängana Shakti, you are the fruits. We are going to worship thut Virata Shakti which has given fruits, Absolutely the humility inside is really going to givet you the complete value of Sahaja Yoga fruits. Achieve the completion of this Virata Shakti which ultimately becomes aMadhurya Shakti. Vishuddhi chakra is the centre of the Virata The massege at Shri Krishna was to surrender When Shri Krishna was taiking about surrender, He was saying, "surrender your enemies to me so that will ger rid of them": The vworst enemy That we have is our ego Ganesha and Innocence Today is the first day of Navaratri. Today your attention should be on Shn Ganesha. His devotion is infinite. He has never worshipped anybody else except Mother. Hence He is so great Gauri is the one who, as a Virgin, Crested Shri Ganesha. And in the same pattern you have got your realisation. The first chakra belongs to the power of Gauri, the power of the Mother of Shri Ganesha. Because of Her power you have got your realisation Have we been able to develop our innocence within ourselves? The power of innocence is so great. It makes you absolutely feariess. And the greatest thing of innocence is that you are respect- ful. In your chiidlike nature only, you can receive the blessing of Gauri. Innocence has a special capacity to make a person 'extremely peaceful, Extrümely peaceful The one who is not innocent is never wise. Wisdom comes only with innacence, When yo grow you find this wisdom really fragrant with compassion. When you have Gauri's power then you stand out because you have that innocent. lustless. greedless, beautiful. sparkling eyes and wherever you turm your eyes, even ane glance would taise the Kundalini immediately It is the maturity of your innocence that must be developed. that keeps you a very religious person. dharmic person. Vishva Nirmala Dharma We have started Vishva Nirmala Dharma, You are under the vision of Shri Ganeshn under the guidance of your Spirit. and under the blessings of God Almighty But be caretul, because once you become that. you have to keep to that Dharma. you have to be hanest about it Sahaja Yogis today represent the growth of this univerae, the growth of the humin race You wil become like a latus-beautiful, fragrant. overpowering all kinds of negativity So let us now promise within our heart. that we are the people who are beneficiaries of the blessings of God. that we have got our realisation, that we have risen so high. But how let us Spread our wings On Meditation So everyone should meditate everyday. Everyone must today promise to me that they will mediate everyday I can tell you this much, next year those who do not meditate every- day, will not be here anymore. Editod & Published by Sh, S.C.

What is the Essence of Religion?
The essence of Religion is to know God the Almighty. And one can never know the
Almighty unless one knows the Spirit-for it is His reflection in man. And only through it
can one know Him:-when it awakens to assume its seat in the Sahasrāra of the
Cosmos, one becomes One with Him. It is the goal of all ascent, and without it ascent has no
meaning, is sterile and deprived of essence. For we should know we are by His desire
created, and made to become and remain One -part and parcel with Him.
To deny the unity of the Creator and His Creation is an escape of the ego-and of those
possessed by it. It is an escape of the individual and a denial of the Advaita (ia) nature of
the creation.
Contemporary with the great Shri Adi Guru prophet Shri Mohammad Dattätreya, another
great soul Shri Adi Shankarāchārya took birth to reveal to Mankind the essence of the
Advaita Philosophy-and as a rejoicing, it is said. was taken by Shri Adi Guru Dattåtreya
Himself, from the seat of the Devi, Nanda Devi Parvat (in Himalayas), to the Feet of Shri
Sadāshiva in Mount Kailasha-where the Saundarya Lahari was revealed to him.
Any religion which does not reveal to man his unity with the Absolute through the
grace and glory of the gift of the Atma within him-is not a religion. And any individual who
denies the unity of God with His creation-or it's fulfilment,-denies the Love, Mercy and
Compassion of God,-and the Love which is the essence of His creation.
This fulfilment of God's love, is the incarnation and work of Shri Adi Shakti, Shri
Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi-and it's fruit. Sahaja Yoga and Sahaja Yogis. There is nothing else
of either meaning or significance-and this is the Nirmala Yoga and Nirmala Vidyā of the
Universe. All else is mire.

Central Nervous System, in your conscious mind, you must feel the existence of the Spirit.
On Puja
A Puja or a prayer grows from your heart. Mantras are the words of your Kundalini.
But if Puja is not performed from the heart or if Kundalini is not associated with recitation
of Mantras then that Puja becomes a ritual. Best is worshipping in the heart. You should
say the Mantras in Puja but with great faith (Shraddha). You should perform the puja when
Shraddha goes deep so that heart itself gets all Puja performed. At that time. waves of bliss
start flowing because it is the Spirit that is saying.
People pour their wine in the glass. Your Puja is like that. In that. wine is your faith
and the glass is the recitation of Mantras and the worshipping. When you are drinking
that wine forgetting everything how can a thought come ! Then only you are bathing in
the ocean of bliss. However the joy that you get after drinking the wine is eternal and
ever-present.
The Infinite Treasure
I have given you the key to the treasure, which others haven't got. But you must
work to open the door. Do you want to go empty-handed despite having the key to the
treasure?
Why should one brag of one's achievements ? You must understan i that whatever is
being done by you, is all God's power i.e. working of Adi-Shakti and you are only the
witnesses to see these miracies. For achieving that stage you should pray. "May our l
consciousness' fade away, may the truth that all of us are small parts of your being, be
assimilated within us, so that your Divine Bliss would resonate every particle of our bodies
and this life would be filled with beautiful melodies enchanting the whole mankind and
would show light to the rest of the world", Let love flow from your hearts. Love is
unlimited. Your attention is on material things and you are talking about eternity Your
attention should merge in eternity so that you will have eternal life.
Self-Realisation
Complete Self-Realisation is that stage attaining which nothing else is required.
Thereafter. only enjoying the bliss and the satisfaction of fulfilment. Man wants peace,
wealth, power etc. but God is the origin of all these. We should pray to God for peace and
keep the desire to meet God, who is peace itself. This should be the difference in satisfa-

that, one must have dedication, determination and concentration (tapasvita) and in that
all material attachments should be destroyed.

you the greatness of Sahaja Yoga. See the trees when they get their flowers. they are not
so respectful ; but when they are laden by the fruits, they bow down to Mother Earth. In
the same way when you have got the fruits of Sahaja Yoga, you all must bow down. You
have to be sensitive to God and not to bad things.
You have to change your methods. A Person who cannot change his methods cannot
spread Sahaja Yoga because he sticks to only one way, with which people get bored. You
should find new ways.
An established Sehaja Yogi is the one who becomes completely one with God and
wins Him over. He has to do everything for that.
Conquering Ego
Say from your heart: "I don't want this ego any more. I want Reality. Let the Reality be
seen by me, felt by me, enjoyed by me". Once you start doing it from your heart, you will
be amazed that your voice will become sweet. The second thing you have to surrender, is
the pride, or vanity. Before God, what is your property? What is your money? What is your
position? What is your family? What is your education? We should be proud of one thing only,

who bow to the Mother Earth. Humility is the best way of conquering this ego of Vishuddhi.

How to keep Mother pleased
"So how to please Mother ?" I am also a very simple person, so I want a simple
hearted person. So this Heart Chakra is to be first looked after, that with your heart desire,
you will keep your Mother pleased. First of all your heart must be clear. If the heart is not
clear, then everything has no meaning, because it is a dark heart which is doing all these
things. The heart has to be clean, absolutely surrendered and must try to put Me before
everything else. The Lakshmi tattva has to become Mahalakshmi tattva. That is for your
ascent. And just to get into that Mahalakshmi tattva, what you have to do is to use all your
material things and your material being in such a way that you please Me. You have to keep
your Mother pleased by pleasing other Sahaja Yogis, and not other people.
What 'Guru Dakshina' (Gift to the Guru) have you given me ? Understand that your
money is not worth the dust on the feet of your Mother-Guru. You should give your hearts:
only clean and holy hearts. You must clean your physical beings. You must get up early
in the morning and spend at least one hour on meditation and worshipping. Perform "Arti'
and meditation in the evening.
Discipline
You are my children. How are people going to have respect for you, or for Me, if you
have no discipline? The discipline has to come from "within yourself. The discipline of
within is like the fragrance of a flower. It gives you complete freedom, and it gives freedom
to others. You have to kill the greatest enemy within yourselfindiscipline and irresponsi-
bility.
Laws of the Divine
One must know these laws of The Divine, that we have to live with self-respect. that
we have to be chaste, that we have to have dignity, that we cannot steal money and steal
things and be parasites. That we cannot kill others and we cannot beat others and say harsh
things-they are just the same. And that we have respect, the respect for all that is sublime.
Respect for all the saints that are Sahaja Yogis. And the respect for the leaders who represent
your Mother. With all this, we are very different people. We are a different race. We are
virtuous, we are righteous and we are proud to be that way. We are sure of everything. We
know about everything. We are the personification of Compassion, of Love of God. That's
what we are. We are not ordinary people. On the subtler side, is Compassion. Is Forgiveness.
Is Love. But the greatest of all is the Servica to God. Wa are doing the work of God. How
can we be tired? The dynamic is flowing through us. that Compassion is so fulfilling, that
Nirmala Yoga
40
 1985_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-42.txt 
 love is so beautifying that how can we not do it? God has created this universe, this world
and you people out of His Compassion only. just His Compassion.
Blessings of the Devi
There are so many blessings waiting for you, to be manifested. Just you have to
concentrate your efforts in devotion and dedication. The enjoyment of life is only possible if
we could get conected to the Spirit and that connection to the Spirit is only possible if you
sprout into that: you become the Spirit as Christ has said in simple words that you have to
be born again The whole existence itself will have no meaning if we do not become the
Spirit. We all have to become the Spirt otherwise we are useless, we're good for nothing.'our
life has no meaning.
The Pure Desire
There is only one pure desire and that is to be one with the Divine, one with the
Brahma, one with God. That's the 'only' pure desire. All other desires are impure. So train
your mind gradually to achieve that desire as the main thing. To achieve that you have to
keep your Mother pleased, very simple.
Bliss of the Spirit
You get the bliss of the Spirit, if you become of sound body. pure mind and egoless.
The only thing you can do is to enter into His Kingdom and become a part and parcel of
that blissful domain. What to do after getting realisation? After receiving you must give.
Agnya Chakra
If your Agnya is alright, then your eyes are perfectly alright. They emit nothing but love
wherever they glance. Only with a glance of your eyes you can raise the Kundalini; with the
glance of your eyes you can cure people. Only with your glance you can bring joy into the
destroyed, ruined people, with your eyes. They are the windows of your being. A realised soul's
eyes sparkle like diamonds. One must know what to order and how to obey. Obey the Divine.
Obey our elders. Obey your Self-and not your ego. Then you can order also others. Not
only human beings, but the Sun and the Moon and the winds, and everything in the world.
Everything you can control with this Agnya. If you know someone is going to do something
wrong, take his name to your Agnya and he wll not do it. Anything you order on your
Agnya must be respected. But your Agnya must have Christ there-your Agnya has to be
clear. Those who have a good Agnya can master anything. You can really become the
master of yourselves. When people see you they will know Christ is reborn again within
you. As long as you have done no wrong, there is nothing to worry. And as it is. even if you
have done some wrong God is there to forgive you.
Culture of God
It's the culture of God, we are talking about. it's the culture of His kingdom.
Where we give to others, enjoy giving, doing for others. loving others. caring for others.
