Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi WODAY we are going to do the puja of Adi as it could, and then it manifested on the surface Shakti. It is a difficult subject, to talk about of the earth as different chakras. So it's Adi Shakti, because it is not easy to tremendous similarity that we have with Virata, understand that Adi Shakti is the power of the Mother Earth and the human beings. If all of Sadashiva. Sadashiva is the God Almighty- She them are being reflected by the Adi Kundalini, so, is his breath, as some people call it, some say she is the desire and some say that she is the entire If is not understood by human beings how they power of Sadashiva and Sadashiva cannot do are connected to this Mother Earth. This anything without her powers. This subject has been described by many creating different centres in the Mother Earth and people in various books in different ways. But ultimately broke through Kailasha. And, I don't actually we need not go to the background of the know how many of you have been to Kailasha? creation of Adi Shakti - for that at least you need at least seven lectures. But we'll come to the Kailasha. point where Adi Shakti started working on this Mother-Earth. there has to be a great cornection between them. Kundalini passed through different centres, You will see tremendous vibrations flowing out of Now the way we insult our Mother Earth, what we are doing is we are insulting the Adi The first thing is, we must know, that she Shakti. So many ways there are, we should created Kundalini in the Mother Earth itself and respect the Mother Earth. I mean it was an Indian custom to begin with, when you got up from It is very interesting. So the Mother Earth your bed and you touched the Mother Earth with becomes a very important thing for us. If you do your feet you have to say, "Oh! Mother Earth I am touching you do not know how to respect ourselves. The with my feet." All the movements of Mother Earth are controlled by this inner Kundalini which is the reflection of Adi Shakti. The gravity that it she created Shri Ganesha out of the Mother Earth. not know how to respect the Mother Earth, we please forgive me because expression of Adi Shakti within you is the Kundalini, no doubt. That is the reflection of Adi Shakti in you. But the reflection in the Mother has also is the manifestation of the Kundalini of the Mother Earth. Earth is also expressed, as you all know, in different places, different countries, different cities Now, why we are suffering in this beautiful as the manifestation of chakras and Adi Shakti's planet because we do not respect what we have creations. It was very important first to create a to respect the most. Mother Earth is to be very Holy Mother Earth for human beings to be respected. Meaning what? Meaning that whatever is created on this earth, by the movement of the earth, by the sea, by all the elements, has to be born on them. So the reflection of the Adi Shakti, as Kundalini first, was on the Mother Earth. respected. Today's problem is pollution, all kinds Kundalini is a, we should say is a wee part of the Adi Shakti or we can say that she is the desire people never understood the importance of all - pure desire- of the Adi Shakti. So Adi Shakti these five elements which are supportive of our is the desire - complete desire of Sadashiva, and Kundalini, Adi Kundalini – is the desire complete desire – of Adi Shakti. Now this one as first expressed in the Mother Earth, inside the building the house, they will do the Bhoomi Mother Earth. Inside the Mother Earth the Pujan, means they will respect the Mother Earth. Kundalini came up in such a way that it cooled down the inner part of the Mother Earth as much could be an earthquake- which means that this of things people talk of, the reason behind it, life. So to respect the Mother Earth people do Bhoomi Puja. Many people when they are Because if she is not being respected may be there

 Volume: IX Issue: 7& 8 1997 Divine Cool Breeze Mother Earth understands, knows and acts. It acts in such a manner that human beings don't where we lived, they were crossing since long understand why such things happen. crossing each other at a place called Oxtead, but we lived there later on. So Mother Earth also Now we can say that in a place called Latur, organizes and arranges things for saintly people. it was Shri Ganesha's 14th day and they had to It is very interesting to see how the Mother Earth submerge the statues into the sea or into the river, guides you in a proper way. I mean, I don't know so they went all out singing, dancing. After how many instances I can give you but we don't coming from there, they all started drinking and understand the value of the understanding of this drinking is not liked by Mother Earth at all. If Mother Earth and her loving protection for all the you are drunk and you are walking on the road saints. In the same way we have to understand you fall down. It so happened with their drinking how the whole atmosphere, the rain, comes in at that a big earthquake broke in and all those who the right time, the moon, the sun, everything were dancing, drinking all of them were engulfed works out in such a beautiful manner because into that earthquake by Mother Earth. Only our they know it's a saint. They know these are "centre, which is there, was surrounded by a big Saintly people sitting here. They know that they gap but nothing happened to our centre, and not are pure, that they are the essence of life and they one single Sahaja Yogi was ruined by that. We can should be looked after, they should be cared for, understand because we are Sahaja Yogis, how the they should be bothered for. It is not bothered Mother Earth has acted to save those people who about people who are of no use. For example were Sahaja Yogis. So the understanding of Mother Earth about saints is very great. She knows who is a saint, she knows the feet of a saint and that's why you know, so marıy things ritualistic people, going for a ritual which, in the were created like Moses. He went to the sea and discretion of the Mother Earth was of no avail the Mother Earth came up for them to walk and of no advantage to them. But nobody learns through. If all the jews had walked it would not have worked, but it was Moses and his saintliness that the Mother Earth herself came up and helped. In the same way when Rama was building a big bridge between Lanka and India, there? By going there what is proved that it is not the Mother Earth came up as a bridge. now for Haj, 50 many people went and so many were killed. Some went to Amarnath and they were killed because they were not saints, just from this, nobody learns. When so many people were going to Amarnath were killed, Pakistan said "See they should not have gone to this Amarnath, it is a false place, why did they go a holy place." But when the Haj thing took place So we should not try to cuurse the Mother Earth to explain this Haj business and the dying of so for any mishaps on this Earth. If people are many people. The reason is this, that these people saintly they will be always protected by Mother have been going to Haj all the time. Once there Earth. She will always try to give themn whatever they want. You can see in a minute way, that troubled and killed. Now this is it. Now what is supposing now, in our Cabella here, the roses are Mother Earth suggesting is that going to these of such a big size, such a big size of roses you places, Holy places they are really holy, no won't find such big size in the whole world, but doubt –, vou are not doing any spiritual ascent. was a stampede with 32,000 people injured, we have here such big ones. In Pratishthan we had flowers Sunflowers- so big as that, one places which are really holy, that cannot be man could not lift it. Now how is it all this is challenged, they are Holy places. You must be happening in particular places? It is the Mother knowing that I was born in Chhindwara, and Earth who knows, who is living here, who is Mecca and Chhindwara are on the same cancer walking here on her back we should say, on her line. How is it? What is about Mecca? Mecca is Soil, because Mother Earth understands Makeshwara Shiva, it is a Shiva. Why did You are not achieving anything by going to these vibrations. Mohammed Sabib ask people to worship a stone? Now certain places we say that are very Holy. He didn't believe in stones, he was against all How have they discovered that these places are kinds of idol worship, then why did he say this Because of magnetic forces. The black stone, which is there, has to be magnetic forces in England, I was surprised, were worshipped- for that people have to go there. Holy?

 Divine Cool Breeze Volume: IX Issue: 7 & 8 1997 of Adi Shakti, then we should be pure, absolutely What was the reason? Because he could feel the vibrations, he could feel that it's a Swayambhu- pure, like the white stone. Even one black drop so he said it. So all the muslims are going there like mads. By going there nobody has improved. the white, it shows. You should be so white, that I have not seen anybody improve by going to anything, any minute black spot also should be Mecca. It's just a kind of a ritual. They think if they go there when they will die tomorrow they If that height is achieved by pure life, by pure will tell God - see now we have a certificate, we thinking, by pure heart! It is not necessary to have been to Mecca. (that's why I worn today the white sari) falls on seen by you and in others also to be felt by you. manipulate anything. No, no need at all. It's all Like our Pope once upon a time used to give natural, like the Mother Earth. Does she certificate that when you go to heaven you can manipulate anything? Nothing, just see how show the certificate that now you are a real Christian. In this way, all these artificial things came up, but there is reality within. The spontaneous, her activity is so spontaneous we difference is that reality is for the real people and not for false people. But this ritualism has grown too much. Like in India we have many heights of shrubs and trees! How she grows with Swayambhus created by the Kundalini again I would say, and which are really worshipped. I have been to most of them and I was surprised that most of the pujaris were suffering from some sort of a serious disease. Like one was a Shakti and that is this Mother Earth. So first we paralyzed fellow. He said, "We are serving this God here, and this is Swayambhu, then Mother how is it that we are suffering from these good. For meditation if you can sit on the Mother diseases?" I said, "Because you are just making Earth it will be extremely good because the money. You cannot make money out of God. If special quality of the Mother Earth which also I you don't want to serve God, don't stay here. But if you want to serve God then you can stay here, but don't make money out of this." It is very common. I have seen, that those people that make spontaneous she is! You put a seed in the Mother Earth and see how it sprouts! She is so never wonder about it. See different types of flowers, different types of fragrances, different such balance in every place! In every minute atom and molecule of that Mother Earth there is sense. So before us is the best reflection of the Adi must respect the Mother Earth. I like you people because you are sitting on the ground. It is very have, unfortunately, that I suck your problems. She too sucks your problems and when she sucks your problemns, you get rid of them without any difficulties. So if you cannot say, sit on the ground money get paralysis. I have seen it. It is a very deep understanding. All these marble, or something which is natural on which elements, Mother Earth, everybody has about you should try to sit. But if you sit on the plastic everything. Because their Kundalini is not like your Kundalini, which is though in itself is pure, going to help you? The plastic? That's why I but because of your human endeavours, human request you always that use natural things, mistakes, ego, super ego –all sorts of because natural things can absorb your problems nonsense - the Kundalini is not so sensitive, nor does it tell you what is happening. It has to be very alert, sensitive, spirituality within you, by mental line, what do we do? We go on arguing, which you can say immediately what you think, explaining, going on and on and on. There's no what you know, what you understand about anything. But the problem is that this doesn't exist. Why is it that you should not be so spontaneous – immediately you will know, what sensitive? On the contrary, I have seen, if their mind works against somebody, then they start communicate. You don't need much thinking saying, "You are catching on this, you are about it because you can absorb even the thought catching on that." Actually the person who is saying that is catching. So with this thing one has to understand that, if we are the true reflection then take a stone to sit on or you can have you and do your meditation I don't know what is very well. Unnaturally also we live, otherwise, it is on the physical line, also on mental line. On end to it. One should get headache with all that. But if you are spontaneous, if you are very the other fellow is trying to do, or to say or to of another person. Absorb doesn't mean that you take the bad thing of that person but it is like sieving out. You absorb what the other perosn is

 Volume : IX Issue: 7& 8 1997 Divine Cool Breeze saying and sieve it out. Now the problem of this Adi Shakti is this, she comes very much closer to my attention, then that I decided, that I will have all of you enter I into my body, absorb all of you. It is a very dangerous game, I know, but I did play because why are we in Sahaja Yoga? We are in Sahaja I am supposed to do it, at this stage of time that Yoga to ascend, to go higher and higher, as you I should absorb you, all in my body. So with you, sang yesterday. It was very entertaining yesterday all your problems have also gone into me, all your troubles have also gone into me. But by higher and higher. Really it was very joy giving, absorbing it, see, it's like the ocean to which you have put and you are cleansed, but what about the ocean? Ocean has still got your problems and things lingering and they are very troublesome. So the best thing would be for you to cleanse yourself. Cleansing is very important through much of this, which is very bad because you are introspection. But it doesn't mean thinking, it never means thinking. But introspection means meditation and that you all should meditate. that, or a lady like that, is full of problems and I have to take up the cross it's like this. A very simple understanding should be, that the way you talked about your ambition to be no doubt. But what are we doing about it? What are we trying about it? Seriously we must think, are we meditating? Are we all doing something to elevate others also, to give realization to others? Especially women, I have seen don't do the mothers. You have to go all out to give realization to others. But men are more active that and women are not. So it works the other way I must tell you we had a meeting of the way round. Now on one side the men are, I leaders and they came out and sat in the drawing meditate and men do the outside work. It's sort room. As soon as they had assembled, I had such a severe pain in the stomach and I had such a bad diarrhoea that you cann't believe. Now who division, that you meditate at home and we will had got those problems, I don't know. But as a mother I don't mind anything, as long as you get well and purified. Just like as the Mother Earth cares for you, I also care for you. And just done. Supposing now you meditate and you don't like as the Mother Earth loves you, I also love spread Sahaja Yoga. You will never ascend. you, whether you are bad or good, it is not the point. But to be kind to me, if you could try to be really good Sahaja Yogis, not the show-offs, thinks, why should I make her a saint? What is not business like, not only thinking type, not argumentative, not criticizing others, if you just for one person to become a saint and sit try to meditate everyday 10 to 15 minutes, I tell you, my health will be first class. Because I have taken your injections inside and they start a collective happening. So if you are not helping torturing my life for nothing at all. You see so now it is a risk I have run and I am sure you are all very sensible people and you will body if one organ says, alright now I am alright, understand that your mother shouldn't suffer. I am not going to work out or one cell says that This is everyday crucifixion for me sometimes you know and I don't know what to say, for example, the other day in Delhi, one gentleman, not work. It's a living organism. I have told you who is a leader, came to me, to see me and my hundred times, when it is a living organism it has one foot started going like that, and paining so much. I mean, I didn't know what to tell him that you get out now? Because I just cann't hurt him but I said, "What's the matter, where have are no more a Sahaja Yogi. I wouldn't call a you been, what did you do?" So he realized and he went out and really it improved. Nearness realization to one person. He cannot be a Sahaja also, I think, has an effect, because if a man like Yogi. Sahaja Yogi has to give realization to others. think, are active but don't meditate. Women of a part time, or you can call it a good labour all go out. It's not going to work out. So one has to meditate and one has to also go out to spread Sahaja Yoga. Both things have to be all Because after all this Kundalini, you see, she is a sensible woman - she is very sensible. She the use? Sahaja Yoga is not individualistic, it's not somewhere. It's not like that. It is not meant for one person, for oneself. It's not individualistic, it's to the collective, Kundalini says alright, you are alright as it is just like our body. You see in our I am not going to grow now. It is alright. Why should I worry about the whole body? It would to grow. It has to grow and also to absorb. To have energy you have to meditate and you have to grow. If you don't grow, you are finished. You person a Sahaja Yogi who has not even given

 Volume : IX Issue : 7 & 8 1997 Divine Cool Breeze Apart from other activities, the main activity happen. What happens is, once they are married, should be how we give realization to others. Unless and until we really look after that side of life we can never never grow in Sahaja Yoga. then either they will quarrel, they will ask for divorce. If that doesn't happen, luckily, because in Sahaja Yoga it is so easy to get married. If that doesn't happen, then they start having their own For example now, take my position. I am alright, I am complete. I have no problem. But family, their own homes, they are again becoming why did I work so hard and wanted so many Sahaja Yogis? Why? What was it? I don't have to grow either. I am overgrown already. I don't have your responsibility. See this Mother Earth, how to do it, but why? What is the need? The need is like this. The need is of love. I have so much of nothing but soil, some mud – but look at her. love that I have to channelize it. If I don't I will suffocate. I cann't love myself. So, this love has to spread. For that, I have to have you people is careful! While you, though you have been who can take this love to others and make them blessed so much, by everything, are you thinking happy. This is a kind of a vision I have. And in of giving it to others? this special time, it was promised by many people, by many saints and it is so obvious that you are all specially chosen for this kind of thing. must say, but still, Christianity spread out. Islam Now how far you understand your importance was not a very good job either, it spread out. All is a different point. You do for your emancipation, those bad jobs have spread so much. So why not alright, you meditate. But if you are not channelizing the love, the divine love, what is the has to go to various places. Try and find out use? Now supposing I repair something very where you can go and talk about it and do nicely. I repaired this machine nicely something good to others and help them, (microphone), put it right, everything, and I don't somehow, to rise above these common existence speak what is the use of having this? In the of misery, unhappiness and destruction. The time same way, if you work very hard- I know people who get up at 4 o'clock, have their baths, do meditation, sit down, in the night again they have to be much faster, we have to go much sit down for meditation. But they never go out, ahead and we have to create much more Sahaja they never talk to others, they never spread Yogis through our, consistent very intensive effort. Sahaja yoga. They do not give divine love to others. So how can this great problem of this by the way - and this is where we are failing world be solved, that it has no love. It has never known divine love, it has to be given to them. They have to feel this divine love, this power of we be like you? After all, you are Adi Shakti. Adi Shakti. They have to know it, otherwise you Many people say that you are Adi Shakti, so are being selfish, I would say. That you had a nice time having all of this and you are not things like that. But why should I ? Why should giving it to others. This is the reason why Sahaja I? What is the need? So in that reflection that you Yoga sometimes fails to create a proper balanced personality in a human being. very small, very very small, very limited. Did you come to Sahaja Yoga for that? You have to realize she knows her responsibility. She is just made out How she is conscious, how she is particular, how she works it out, how she is attentive, how she With 12 disciples, whatever was the problem of Christianity, I mean it was not a good job, the good job of Sahaja Yoga? It has to spread, it is very short and I think if you see the time, the rate at which we are moving is not proper. We But it is a side issue, by the way, Sahaja Yoga is in our responsibility. We have to learn from the Mother Earth. You might say that Mataji, how can what? You see, with one finger you can move are me, in that reflection that the Mother Earth is me, in that beautiful creation within you, you people are like this, that now supposing have to become very sensitive to the need of the a Sahaja Yogi has married another Sahaja Yogini, world. What is the need of the world? Today if take a position like that. Now my desire is that you fail the whole thing will fail forever. Only they should develop a complete understanding of very few will be there. So the need for you is to each other, have love for each other but have love spread Sahaja Yoga because this love is not only for Sahaja Yoga and for others. This is the only for you. It is not only to be enjoyed by you, it is way we can justify marriage in Sahaja Yoga. to be enjoyed by as many possible in the whole world. Some Otherwise why should they marry? But it doesn't

 Divine Cool Breeze Volume : IX Isue: 7 & 8 1997 10 So today we have to decide that as the children of Adi Shakti, we have to go all out, you will talk about Sahaja Yoga, know about every where, every corner, we have to shout and Sahaja Yoga. There are many who don't know we have to tell loudly what is the time in which anything. Also it is very surprising there are you are living and what is the responsibility that Sahaja Yogis who don't know anything and you have to fulfill as Sahaja Yogis. There must be create problems for me. Like marriage you cann't some reason why you are here. Like in the beginning Sahaja Yogis used to ask me "Mother, husband. All sorts of non-sensical problems was I this last life, was I Shivaji last life" I said, people create for me in Sahaja Yoga. Are you here "What is the use?" You might have been anything. But what you are today, is much higher. Try to understand. You might be, say Nepoleon. You might be say one of the kings or may be one of the queens somewhere, so what! What did they with more enthusiasm and joyfully. You don't do? Did they raise anybody's Kundalini? Did they know what joy you get when you give realization have any power? Even the disciples of Christ or even Mohammed Sahib's disciples, could anyone do it? Did they have any understanding of Kundalini? Did they have any love for others that they should give them realization? There were Yoga the want disappears into this desire that some sufis, they never gave realization to anyone. "my God this man is going There were so many saints who never gave and give him realization?" On the street you will realization to anybody. Mohammed Sahib never gave realization to anybody. Gautama Buddha you something" and you will make him sit down never gave realization to anybody. Think of it, Christ never gave realization to anybody. like mad. You will say, "Oh no, no, look at this, Anybody!! Krishna did not do it, Rama did not do it. Nobody but you can do it ! You can do it give him." You will have to go to churches, you and you know everything about Kundalini. It's a very big thing because you are children of the Adi-Shakti. You are here and your Mother is here. It's a very very fortunate thing for me that you without any fear, without any malice. You can are here. I am very proud of you, but again and talk to them and you should tell them, now we again I have to tell you that the work has to be are here to help you for your good. We have not done with a faster speed. We have to move with come here for our good, but for your good, now a faster speed and get more people to Sahaja listen to us and I am sure, very sure that the Yoga. It's rather, rather difficult for me to say Kundalini within you will be very happy. She is something forcefully, that is not my nature you not happy, you see, she is not happy with people know. I can't get into tempers and cannot get who are not using her fully. So she will be very angry and I can not forcefully say something to happy to help you and to do the needful for the you. But if you fail then the only thing will be emancipation of the whole world. that, you have failed me completely. It means that, nothing less than that and if you don't want to do it then I would request all of you to take a vow today that you will spread Sahaja Yoga and now live with the wife, you cann't live with the to create problems or to remove problems of people? So, on the whole, we have done well, I must say, but it's not the final, we have to work faster, to somebody. The most joyful moment is when you give realization to others. Now you just try once and you enjoy it and then you want to do it more and more and more. Now after Sahaja should I call him see some one and say, "Come here, I want to give and give him realization. This will be your style, let us this gentleman is without realization will have to go to universities. You have to go to all such congregations where they have no idea about what they can achieve, and then tell them May God bless you.

 Volume : IX Issue: 7.&8 1997 Divine Cool Breeze 11 Talk by H.H. Mataji Shree Nirmala Devi 18th January, 1983 O now we are coming to the end of our first it will work out. Let us face the things as they half tour. Now we have to look back upon are and not to be conditioned by anything else. ourselves and try to find out what have we achieved out of this. You have to achieve a certain depth within yourself to even enlighten the mantra. First of all you should have clear-cut vibrations, minimum of minimum. If you have certain chakras, with the photograph, pay due We must understand that, Sahaja Yoga is not done through brain activities. Like many people think, that if you just tell yourself: "You have to be like this", it will work out. If you have to, all respect to the photograph, it's only the the time, inform yourself that "Oh, you must get photograph which is going to work it out, rid of a particular problem", it will be alright. Or nothing else - or if I am there. But once if you some people think that if they tell somebody that: have achieved a certain state of enlightenment, This is wrong with you and you should get then you can use mantras otherwise also, it will well", it will be alright. It is not so, because help you. Sahaja Yoga does not work on mental level. It works on spiritual level, which is a much higher level, than the mental level. But first of all your heart must be clear. I have found out in general, there are two chakras, overwhelmingly, not working alright in most of the western people. First is the heart. That means; heart is not clear, that heart is not how to work out your machines. Perhaps people clean, that in the heart you still are a small still live on mental level and try to solve person; in the heart you have not placed your problems on mental level. And that's why all the Mother. You have to purify your heart, by looking at the photograph and putting all loving feelings problem with any chakra or there is anything about your Mother, understanding Her work and catching, or you find that there is something putting Her into your heart. If the heart is not wrong, no use working it on any other level, but clear, then everything has no meaning, because it spiritual level. Some people believe that if they is a dark heart which is doing all these things. have dressed up like something, or if they The heart has to be clean, absolutely surrendered outwardly behave like something, they become and must try to put Me before everything else. I that. That is not true. Like we have hippies in the can tell you because we are all Sahaja Yogis. I cannot say this to people who are not Sahaja So what you have to do, is to understand, how to correct your chakras, and you must understand problems start coming up. Now if you have a west and they think that they have become primitive. You do not become primitive by any Yogis. means, because you are so overdeveloped that you can not become primitive. So by just doing something mentally, we do not become that. Now we always try to relate Sahaja Yoga from our own terms, not from the terms that belong to God. God is what He is. He cannot change Now this mental level can go even further in Himself; you have to change. So whatever we a subtler way, into people, some of you might feel think about God, we want to put on that. For that by knowing some of the Aaratis and things example if someone thinks that he tries to be nice by heart, you will achieve weight, is not true also, or good to me, or if he is close to me, so called' because that is also just words. But if that is an and if he thinks that he is organizing better or he awakened thing within you, then they become a is doing this work or that work or anything else "Mantra' and then you can work it out. But first like that, where he feels that he is important of all you must achieve a certain standard to have because he is doing this job or that job, then one that power to create the Mantras. Also when you must know that all this is mental. Actually you are doing nothing. Whenever you try to do say some 'aarati', it is not necessarily possible that

 Divine Cool Breeze Volume: IX Issue 7&8 1997 12 something, you really confuse yourself and out. You just cannot think about it. Whatever you confuse Me also. We have seen yesterday's may try to do through your thought, you cannot example. I was sure that they had to go next day, achieve any results in Sahaja Yoga. You have to use your hands, you have to use you feet, you away and they found that the tickets were have to soak your feet in the water, because water brought for the next day. This knowledge comes is the ocean. All these five chakras or say six chakras which are, I say five because the one is said, you better not come. I did not know what the mooladhara chakra, which is the first, and the seventh and the topmost is the brain. So in- between five chakras, which are there, are to be happen. So this clear-cut idea comes to you handled fully, with the idea that they are basically when your heart is clear. But first of all people made of matter, and the five elements constitute do not understand that you have to work it the body of these chakras. Now these chakras, if through your heart and not through your brain. they are to be corrected, we have to correct them When we have to work out things through our by taking out all the problems of these chakras brain, we try to develop our brain, isn't it, by into the elements from which they have come. For memorising, by practising something, teaching example a person, who is very right sided has to our brain how to think, how to go this way, that give a balance by the left side. Of course raising way. We try to train our brain. Now we have to with a hand is alright, but what about the train our heart in Sahaja Yoga, and to train our element? Right sided person has all the elments heart in Sahaja Yoga one has to know first of all which give heat, we can say the light, we carn say the fire. So, for people who are right sided the The limbic area actually represents the heart. And light is not going to help much. Like if you put the light before the photograph and those who are ego oriented people, if you just use the light, working but it is only mental projection, and you it is not going to work out. So what is going to will feel that I am doing it from heart. That's work out is Mother-Earth and the water element which is cooling. Even ice is very helpful to Now then supposing what should we do, if we people who are right sided. So all cooling effects have weak heart. You might say, you should try should be used for correcting your right to sort of tell yourself that, that's not good and sidedness. So that you cool it down. Same about this is not good, this and that and all kinds of food. In food, those who are right sided people, mental suggestions or auto suggestions or this is should take to foods which are left sided, that is the way psychiatrists and all that give you carbohydrates, it means they should become suggestions. That's again mental. So that's not the partly vegetarian or quite a lot of vegetarian, and way it is going to work out. We must understand should eat things at the most like chickens but that what we have to do is to raise the left side not fishes, not sea food because they are all hot. and put it to the right side. There is no other way. That's how you treat material side of your You have to just work it out with your hands. chakras. Now the left sided people should use Your hands are working it out and not your again the 'deepa' - the light, or the fire to correct their left side. Also in food, such people should take more to nitrogenous, means, proteins and foods like that. They should take more proteins. but nobody would listen to me and they rushed to you, if you are clear hearted. As yesterday, I was the situation there. 1 just said, "don't come. Finished, because I krew that it was going to that it is enveloped either by ege or by super-ego. if there is ego, heart will always be so called' heart. It will not be the real heart that will be my not so. brain. So use your hands, and the methods of Sahaja Yoga. Now every one must have a regular sitting in the water everyday. That's important 'Every' morning you 'must' do you meditation, because basic thing is Kundalini, and the Kundalini as I on mental level, we tell, we have been with told you is pure desire. Again listen to it Mother, alright. This exposure is alright. You carefully- "Pure desire'. That means all other came, you saw how Indians are and how they desires are impure. There is only one pure desire are, and how they are good for Sahaja Yoga. But and that is to be one with the divine, one with after seeing all that, you have to know that Sahaja the Brahma, one with God. That's the 'only' pure Yoga is to be worked out and not to be thought desire. All other desires are impure. So train your Now as far as Sahaja Yoga is concerned, the

 Volume: 1X issue: 7& 8 1997 Divine Cool Breeze 13 mind gradually to achieve that desire main thing. don't feel bad about it. That's one of the signs that If you train your mind in that fashion then you Sahaja Yoga has not yet developed. If I scold you, can develop pure desire, se all other desires will negate gradually. Alright. Now this desire, to be one with the divine, is the purest and the highest. away. So accept it just as a correcting point that And to achieve that, what have we to do? To is good for you. Some sort of a thorn is within achieve that you have to keep your mother you, which has to be takeri out by another thorn pleased, very simple. Adishankaracharya has said that you don't bother about anything, just keep understanding the compassion of your Mother your Mother pleased. You have to be simple you will not mind my saying anything to you, person; do not try to be cunning with Me or ny correcting you or my telling you that this is clever with Me. I know everyone well. So try to tell yourself that "I should say things, I should who do not have a good heart, clean heart cannot behave in a manner that will please my Mother". understand this. They cannot understand this, Supposing you are in Sahaja Yoga, and you are very difficult. So you keep your heart clean doing wrong things, it is not going to please Me towards your Mother. Whatever, I do for you, is at all. " So how to please Mother?" – That, you just a blessing, always a blessing for you. should try to see for yourself. What kind of a thing pleases me the best. I am also a very simple that. person, so I want a simple hearted person is simple hearted. For example, a person who tries to show off too much, tries to be always the suggesting that you are still very very first, or tries to be always the sort of a cinema star, I don't like such person. You have to be very materialistic. It becomes subtler and subtler and quiet and extremely shy about showing off subtler. So try to understand that matter is not so yourself. Do I show off that I am Adishakti? I do important. Matter is just there to please each not. I live like you, absolutely like you. Do I try other, specially to please your Mother. It has no to show off? Then why should you try to show off to me? So that kind of a person is no good. it is because there is something in you which has to go away and which I must scold, so it will go and Mother has taken it out. Once you start wrong, becauIse I have to do that. Those people Whatever I do for you is a blessing, remember who Now another chakra, which is horribly caught with most of you is your Nabhi chakra, up materialistic. In small small things also we are other value whatsoever. So you should not try to be materialistic in the sense that, you see, for a little thing, you have to do this, for a little you There is no need to be tense. If I find something have to do that. Nothing is important, if it works wrong with you, if I scold you also, it is for your out well and good. So you see Nabhi Chakra is good. If I say a good word it is for your good. very individualistic, very individualistic. It is My Sahaja Yoga works this way. I have no malice everybody's personal thing. If your desire is only against anyone in the whole world, no malice at upto Lakshmi point, that you want to have more money, or you care for little things, here and nothing but compassion. But in compassion there, without any spiritual value to it, then your sometimes I have to scold and in the same Lakshmi tattva, at the most might be awakened. But this Lakshmi tattva has to become compassionate manner. So both ways it helps you. Mahalakshmi tattva. That is for our ascent and It helps you both ways. So thank God that you just to get into that Mahalakshmi tattva, what you have somebody, who will correct you at the right have to do is to use all your material things and time, for your good, because you are saints, and your material being in such a way that you please you have come on this earth to establish God's me. That is 'very important'. Everybody must Secondly, you should not be tense with me. all, and no anger for anyone in the world. I have compassion I have to speak in a very kingdom. That's what you have to do. And if you are the people who are not respected, who are not understand. I want you to understand that when you dress sensible, who haven't got the dignity, who behave up also, certain things I don't like at all - like dishevelled hair - at all. That might be a fashion, So this Heart Chakra is to be looked after, that or whatever but I don't like it. Always must be with your heart, desire you will keep your properly combed, properly done hair. These Mother pleased. Even if I am angry with you, modern things you should give up, of dishevelled in a cheapish way, how can people accept you?

If you have dishevelled hair, the Bhoots, recognize the person and they get into such a person, who has dishevelled hair. So try of that, what we see outside is not good for to make your hair in a proper way. See now vibrations. But if your attention is inside you Indians, how they make their hair. Look at them. "will not' buy anything that is not good for They all make their hair properly, because I have vibrations or you will not own something, you nothing to do with your hair. I am not a hair will just throw it away. But the attention is stylist person or anything, but if you do not outside and because of that you just don't know your hair properly combed and done then how to judge a thing. Nabhi Chakra has to be definitely you are in for trouble. So take heed to these things. Now attention has to be inward, all the time. I have seen that our attention is outward. Because have attended to. For that you do not have to think, you have to work it out. See which side of Nabhi Then some people have a habit of being is catching. If the right side is catching, for you the sugar is the best. Sugar represents many things. Sugar also means your tongue should be not because it is material, but it is very important sweet. You should talk sweetly. People think if that if it is not so, that kind of material will you talk sweetly to someone than people will start thinking that you are good for nothing or you are absolutely a meek person. You have to be meek. We have to be meek arid humble. We must learn how to talk sweetly to each other, and if untidily dressed. That's also not a good thing. You have to be tidily dressed; clean and tidily dressed, attract all the bādhās into it. You must keep yourself clean and neat because these badhas should not enter. All these ideas that have come to the west have come from some satanic force. It does not look beautiful.

health, everyone has to have four principle aims
of life:
Some Ayurvedic Medicines
- First is Dharma, meaning doing the right
things for ourselves and for society.
Amalki is an herb whose fruit is used as a
medicine. It is very rich in vitamin C and is
thermostable. It is excellent for nourishing the
body, for eyesight, hair and skin diseases, and
also for diabetes and hemorrhages.
Second is Artha, meaning wealth or the means
of livelihood.
Third is Karma, meaning the satisfaction of our
desires according to Dharma.
- Fourth is Moksha, which is self-realization, the
most important state in human life. Self-
realization means the union of the spiritual
energy within us with the divine power.
Three medicines are used together: ginger,
pepper, and pipali. In combination they are called
Trikatu. They reduce Kapha, Vata, and fat, they
stimulate digestion and are useful for bronchitis,
pharyngitis, and sinusitis.
