What I feel When I Meditate From The Sahaja Patrika The Quarterly Newsletter of the International Sahaja Public School Vol. 1, Issue 2, September 1997 "When I sit down for meditation and gradually and medîtate to achieve a higher level of go into thoughtless awareness state, I feel a awareness, and to grow spiritually, which is cool breeze passing through my hands, and it the first priority in life. Just recently, in the is not just a feeling of an ordinary breeze but last few years, I have been able to reach a real with it comes a feeling of joy, happiness and state of thoughtless awareness and it is so peace. To come into the state of thoughtless overwhelming that sometimes I feel that I could awareness, I keep away thoughts, but if thoughts just meditate for the whole day.' begin to come into my mind, I push them out of my head. At times when I look around at other people, at once the vibrations which I get in thoughtless awareness stop coming. When I am completely thoughtless, I feel I am let them pass, I let them pass and try to get rid connected with the Divine, and vibrations keep of that situation by saying, "I forgive everyone flowing, which Shri Mataji is bestowing upon including my own self." That is how I go into me. Jai Shri Mataji!" Anna Purcell, Class IX "Whenever I sit for meditation, as soon as I close my eyes, thoughts flow in my mind. I thoughtless awareness. I get a lot of cool breeze which passes through my hands and Sahasrara. I start feeling my whole body light. I enjoy this situation with my whole attention in Shri Nira Nicely, Class VII "I came into Sahaja Yoga when I was two years old and before I came to this school, I Mataji's lotus feet." took it for granted that I was in Sahaja Yoga and I would be safe as long as I called myself a Sahaja Yogi. But now I feel that I have a deeper understanding about what Sahaja Yoga great because of tremendous cool vibrations. I really is and why it is so important to meditate feel that I should stay all day to get these cool and that it is not enough to just call myself a vibrations. I feel my spirit cleaning all my Sahaja Yogi. I actually have to work, introspect chakras. Then I feel something going towards Pragya Mahajan, Class X "When I sit down to do meditation. I feel

When it is over, I say in my a burning sensation on the fingertip. Shri Mataji mind, "I can't wait till we have our next put Her attention on it, and the finger was meditation." instantly healed! I felt truly blessed. Here I Nanak Chugh, Class V was, having never seen Shri Mataji in person beföre, and I had the opportunity to be very close to Her for most of the night! The Divine: One Yogi's Experience After the first New York program was over, what is Juneteenth? things were getting wrapped up, another yogi came up to me and asked me to help him with something. We ran out to his car and grabbed Proclamation was signed by the President about 20 copies of Meta Modern Era that Shri Abrahäm Lincoln, freeing slaves in the states Mataji had requested be brought to the rear of that tried to secede from the Union. However, the cathedral where She was receiving guests. the slave owners chose to keep the news and On January 1st, 1863 the Emancipation information from the slaves. Not until Union This allowed me to be close to Shri Mataji troops arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19th. in a fairly small room. At one point, a woman 1865, two and a half years later, did the slaves came up to see Her. I couldn't hear what was learn of their freedom. Today Juneteenth is a being said, but the yogi who had brought the celebration that symbolizes freedom and books with me, a doctor, was called to Her independence of the African American people side. After he was done, I asked him what had and is their Emancipation Day. It is a day, a happened. It turns out that this woman had cut week and in some areas a month marked with her finger. She had no sensation in the middle all kinds of celebrations. Message I wish you all a "Very Happy Christmas" and "very very prosperous New Year." I am myself amazed at these people who have come to the academy and have picked up this difficult Indian music so easily. Some of them have been only for two mnonths. Imagine, people spend all their lives learning classical music and how these people have picked it up so fast. I mean, they say, it is due to Sahaja Yoga but that means really a miracle, really miracie. Even the Indian music sung by Indian musicians, they are today amazed. The way they have been singing like great Ustads. I just don't know how they have done this and how they have achieved it! Because, I know in my family there is too much of music and those who were interested got up early in the morning and practised three hours in morning and three hours in the evening. While I find these people coming from countries where they do not know a word about Indian music, picking it up so fast. May be, I cannot just explain, may be in their previous lives they were in India or may be that they are so talented. I cannot explain. Really if it is due to Sahaja Yoga, then I must say, Sahaja Yoga is something that creates miracles within and without. I have seen only the miracles without, but now this is the miracle within, that people who have never sung Indian music, have never heard about Indian music, are singing so well. May God bless you.

 Volume: IX Issue : 11 & 12 1997 Divine Cool Breeze 12 Christmas Puja Talk By Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi Ganpatipule, 25-12-97 Si orry I had to talk in Hindi language telephones to me, immediately I will know, because most of the people here are what's wrong with the person. I don't say that Indians, some of them are Marathi and you can become like me, but atleast you have others are from North India. I was telling them vibrations to see. Also see your own vibrations. about Christ. What was his power? His power How are you moving? Put a paper on your was of love and not of anger, because He is the hand and you will see it will start shaking one who has crossed the most difficult centre before my photograph. of 'Agnya'. Those people who have ego never realised that they have ego. With their ego they do all kinds of nonsensical things without did you come to Sahaja Yoga? You came here, asking me, they have done something in Delhi, not to become some sort of a leader, or some without asking me they have done something sort of a king, but you came here to become 'a in Russia. And it is so destructive to Sahaja Yoga that they don't realise what they have great Guru', as you asked me, (15 Ta ) done is a crime which is punishable by alu 'Guru Pada Deejiye'. For that you have to have Divine laws. If you want to do anything, you must tell me beforehand. You must consult me. humility, natural balance. This is what Christ you must talk to me, because I kow what is happening. You don't know. If somebody wants to cheat you, then how will you know? If you you. People get ego out of anything e.g. I met were so sensitive, you would find out. You would have asked me, Mother, what should we With this ego, you can not go further. Why in Sahaja Yoga a complete humility, natural has taught us. At that time, I don't think people had that much ego. Ego is a modern present to one lady once. I found her ego very bad. I asked my daughter, "What is the matter with do? At least ask me. This is the main thing her? What does she do?" She said, "mummy. she knows how to make dolls." For that she missing among the Sahaja Yogis now that we have a kind of a very subtle ego. If you make has ego. What is so great than to be a good somebody a leader, it is very dangerous Sanaja Yogi? You may be the king, you may be sometimes that leader develops ego because of anything. Now you see the Prime Ministers and all of them going to the jail. What are his wife. It is a very difficult thing. They can destroy Sahaja Yoga, completely. Anything is they compared to you? They have no balance, possible. So before you do anything like that. they have no sense. What makes you a separate you have to consult. I am still living, and you individual, higher people, because you have no can ask me. You can write to me, you can "Ego'. Now people try to remove their ego. telephone to me. At least I am there to tell There are two types, so they will go on beating themselves with shoes. All kind of ritualistic you. things they do to remove their ego. But all this But then you have to develop your balance you do with your mind. Whatever you do with and love. That is only through this Parama your mind will give you ego only. They become Chaitanya. It is all pervading power of divine ascetics. They are the greatest egoists. I must love, you can develop that discretion, you can say Hitler was the greatest ascetic. With develop that special power. Even if somebody asceticism he became Hitler. If you want to

 13 Volume : IX Issue : 11 & 12 1997 Divine Cool Breeze become Hitler, you become ascetic. In Sahaja is important is, if you are curing, you know Yoga, you are not allowed at all, this asceticism. that you are not curing, it is the Divine Power that is curing. You are not doing anything. It's You have to be loving, affectionate, kind best to be like that, I feel the same way. I am and disciplined. I must say this because when doing nothing and I am 'Nishkriya' (al) you are loving, you go out of bounds sometimes, doing nothing. But I am not lazy. You should because you have no discipline of Sahaja Yoga. be active but all your activity should come Loving does not mean that you become like a from the Divine Power of love. First of all you Romeo and Juliet. You must have your balance through your discipline. If you have no diseipline, heart, extend your money, house, everything you can never be a good Sahaja Yogi. From the life of Christ we have to learn these things, to come into the house, throw her out of the that unless and until we have these things, we cannot become good Sahaja Yogis. Firstly, ritualistic nature, secondly anger, thirdly important. You have to be generous, you have miserliness, like if you go to England, it's written to be kind, you have to be loving and sweet to there "Save pounds by taking a taxi". This is others. Christ only once went into a temple what it is. Miserliness, where can we save money? which He had the right to do that, when He Mother, can you give concession? It is not some saw people selling things in the temple. Same sort of a business I am doing here. If you thing we have here and if you don't go and make it half price so many will come. I am not buy anything from them, they'll be lost. But using your money. I am using it for your you only go and buy things from them because buildings. All this I have got it, of course my you have a habit of shopping. Anywhere people money also and your money. So many things 1 will go, they must shop. It's a habit. Shopping have done. The whole of Vashi, the whole of they must do. They will not see the greenery, Ashram in Delhi, two ashrams and the whole the beauty of nature, nothing. When I went to of school, and also land in Poona and other so many countries, which I had to, with my places. Now in Poona, they want me to pay for husband. I had to go and see beautiful places land, to pay for everything and the Poona people like museums, I never used to shop. But when are known Maharashtrians to be great miserly I have so many children, then I have to shop. must extend your hands for love, extend your for love. Now if your wife, doesn't allow others house. Teach her how to be kind and generous, other way round for the husband. Its very ) kanjoos people. Even for their own ashram So I would go for shopping. But not the way they would like me to pay, for everything, and that every place is for shopping. What is there they'll nicely go and sing bhajans. See they are to shop here when you have come here for good musicians, that's what they are. A very very miserly people. Miserly people can never any shops? It is the holier than holy. Why love. They love money. Egoistical people can should you go to these shops, I can't understand. never love because they love power to control I've told them not to have shops but you people others. They think they are doing it for Sahaja are the one who encourage them to make money Yoga but not. Unless and until you do something out of us? Nothing essential to buy there. Now for yourself and your ego, no use working for you have come to the holy occasion. Here you Sahaja Yoga. Look at Christ. He took birth in have come for your worship. In our Mahalaxmi a very humble abode, but He was the King. temple, there are people who are selling garlands And he lived with the poor and tried to save and things for the ladies' hair. But they say it them. He saved the lepers, He saved so many is for the Goddess. And they buy there, all the people. There were twenty one people cured people who are coming there stupidly and give by Him. Now in Sahaja Yoga I don't know it to the Brahmins in the temple and the Brahmin how many thousands have been cured. But what sells it back at a lower price. And these garlands your spiritual growth. In Mecca, do they have

If they There is a big evolution going on and those have to take something, they should buy from who will not be evolved properly, will be left outside. Not at the place where you have come. behind. As it is you went to Delhi, you could have bought there or you came to Bombay, you could and you will be judged, you will be left behind. have bought there, but not in this place. We You cannot adhere to people who are rising can not make this place Bombay or Delhi. higher, with your weight you will fall down. Otherwise why should we come here? That's So for you, to understand Christ, is all these why Christ took a hunter and beat them, those qualities you must have. If you are hot tempered, who were selling things near the church. Now all right, go and beat yourself with shoes. But they don't have. I have seen near the church if you are not, then you need not. You must they don't have. They have outside, but they know what you are, first of all introspect. sell other things like Catholic church sells a Accordingly, you should work it out. Ritualism wine called Benedictive. Imagine! That is another is not allowed in Sahaja Yoga, all the time. I story. Christ went for a wedding and they had would love all my children to be extremely no wine. Now in the Hebrew language, wine loving and collective, not to denounce anybody means the juice of the grapes. It doesn't mean for no rhyme and reason. If you have to fermented. So He converted water into that wine. denounce, you tell me. I know what is what. You can not convert water instantaneously into Without asking me you should not measure up wine. Wine has to rot, has to smell. The more somebody and say I have measured somebody it smells the best is taste. But they think that with what? What is your yardstick? As it is said that, this is the 'Last Judgement', Christ said you must drink. He never said that. He just converted it into wine meaning, the taste of the juice of grapes. Once I went to some television and there was a very nice man in Italy. He said, "Mother, you first give me ask. I know about everyone. May be I have not realisation." I said get some water. I put my met that person, but I can feel the vibrations. hands into it. Now drink it. He said, "It's You can write to me. Many people just telephone. tasting like wine." I said, this is what Christ That's not the way, You must write to me, did. He got his realisation. Instantaneously you because I read each and every letter. But all cannot make wine. But if somebody dies they nonsensical letters you should not write also, will drink, if somebody is born they will drink. to waste my time, like my father's mother's At any cost without drinking they are not normal. mother's thing is sick or is dead and her 'bhoot' You yourself are caught up in the web of ego. You can not condemn anyone without telling me, you have to tell me. Don't worry that this will disturb me or anything, but you should is moving about. All type of funny letters come to me. What can I do for such people. That's not the end. Or I need money. I have no money, But the people who got realisation have suddenly changed. They đon't want to drink. They have stopped drinking. Their attention has I am depending upon you for money. So please become nice. The whole thing has changed. send me money. You can ask from my This is the transformation that has worked. Of photograph. If you are a good Sahaja Yogi, which Christ has talked, Mohammed Sahib has you don't have to worry about money also. Or talked, everybody has talked about this particular I have no child, Mother what to do, I want to type when people will get transformed. But have a child. Those who have a child, ask even after transformation you do not want to them what do they have to say? So many have become what you have to be, for which you got children after coming to Sahaja Yoga. But have come here. You will be left behind. There you must deserve it.

 Volume : IX Issue: 11 & 12 1997 15 Divine Cool Breeze So many miracles have taken place. So many for Indian music, had to really starve for mnonths people have been cured, no doubt. But that together. They had to practice for years together. doesn't mean, you have done it. Don't get into They had to bow to their guru. That's all over the trap of 'Ego' that's most dangerous. If you now because of this "Parama Chaitanya', and destroy Sahaja Yoga, you are destroying yourself. your power to be one with the divine. The So today, you all have to promise in your heart. divine power can transform you completely, to Put your hand on your heart and say, "Mother, such an extent that anything that you want to we'll love, we will spread your divine love, do, you can do in two - three months. In Pune encompass the whole world, give realisation to when they were singing once, foreigners, as we all the people. We 'll not shout, we will not be call them with respect, in India foreigners mean angry, we will not do the all kind of rituals, but just surrender. Surrender our ego to you. Surrender it. " Surrender your ego. AlI your come. They told me, Mother, we put down our problems can be solved. Because as long as there is ego, this divine power doesn't take who don't know a word about Indian music, over. You may do anything. You are not have learnt it so well, and pronunciation of connected. Your connection is missing. Christ this Marathi language is so difficult, but they is missing. He is no more there. To establish are so good at it, it is very surprising! Now all Him, first of all you must show how you love. this has happened in your presence. It's nice But that doesn't mean, you love your wife, you have balloons here to celebrate Christ's love your children, or love your house. You birthday and all these balloons of ego should have to love everyone. Try to make everyone be burst, should be finished. happy. That's why I like music, because through music you can spread vibrations. Very good media of spreading vibrations, of loving language. Well I know English, may not be so vibrations. But those who are musicians, have good, but best thing is to learn Hindi, if possible. to be loving people. Not hot tempered, not Because there are already fourteen languages showing off, not thinking too much of themselves. in India and so many languages in other countries. All this will work very well if you understand Every country has a different kind of English that this divine power is so powerful. No doubt language. If you go to America, I don't it is love, no doubt it is truth, no doubt if you understand their English for at least two - three get out of it, you could be caught up by anything days because they go on taking their tongue and you could be finished. It is a very very and lips on one side and then on another side. powerful, effective and absolutely conclusive English of the French is another point. So best power you have within yourself. respect, not like other countries. So when they were singing there, some great musicians had heads to them, because how could these people, I will be happy if you could learn Hindi is to learn Hindi and that too a good Hindi, not Sanskritised because I feel better, if you And thanks to Christ that He crucified himself. sacrificed His body for our sake, that our 'Agnya' all understand what I am saying. It's not difficult is opened. Otherwise I could not have this Sahaja because you are all Sahaja Yogis, you can all Yoga. But in this area, we have Buddha, Christ learn Hindi in no time. I am not saying learn ' Sanskrit. Hindi is very easy. It's not my mother and Mahavira, and they had to do 'tapasya (penance), 'tapah', and they did it. You don't tongue. I never studied Hindi language, never. have to do now. They have already done that But see it's a very easy language to learn. But as my father told me, never teach Hindi language to an English man. I asked why this advice? Now see, I saw the musicians yesterday. Within He said, "there was an Englishman who was after me, that I should teach him Hindi." So Otherwise normally all the musicians I knew, he said, I have to tell my servant to open the for you. two three months they have learnt so much.

 Divine Cool Breeze Volume: IX Issue 11 & 12 1997 16 means modesty and respect style of saying door or to close the door. So for 'open the door', he said, you say 'there was a cold day' things, there is respect and a way to address he would say "cold day', and for closing the others. All this will give you a kind of more have to say 'there was a banker day'. flexible vehicle to express your love. Because But now it is different. They will pick up Hindi in Hindi language we cannot translate "I hate very quickly. I can see that. If they can learn you". We never say that. TT this horrible Indian classical music, which is I t a They cannot say. To hate so difficult, so easily, what will happen? They will learn Hindi in no time. And make me somebody is sinful. So they can never say 'I happier with that. It's not that Hindi is my but a little hard. All this is just to request you language, it is Marathi. Marathi is very difficult. that if you can learn this music, which is very It's very precise. I think it is one of the best difficult, you can always learn this simple Hindi languages to put down your ego. Tnat's why language which is very very casy and very easy Maharashtrians are normally not egoistical, because in their language there is built in process. For example some person is boasting that I have done this, I have done that. So in Marathi, tell you about Christ. But this is short time in they will say, "don't climb on a bush, or tree which I can't tell you. The way He had his of Channa." It's not so big as that. Then the own priorities! Though in the Bible He has not person is finished. Like wise there are many been described fully and whatever it might have words by which you can put down the ego of been, they have reduced it. May be, and the the man, on his face. Marathi language has so way they practise Christianity, also is shocking. many advantages. But I will not ask you to So, one has to learn Christianity through the learn Marathi language. Because Marathi language heart. No other way out. They should learn is not so easy, but Hindi you should. It's very through the heart, heart of your Mother. easy. But you must know one thing, that in Hindi language, there is 'Adab" (). 'Adab" hate you'. Just it is more in Marathi language, to talk. There are so many things, I would like to May God bless You.

This Mafia can be controlled only So what is the solution to get rid of this by the government because they give such a greed? It's to try and give to others and see big tax. Now for example an artisan in this the joy. Give something to others, share and poor country, I would say poor, because most see the joy you feel by giving something.

Whatever you need you get. price and if you are a fool, you go and buy But if you go on desiring then, go mad after that. Did you notice that this is Kartiye? Sahaja it go there, get this and get lost and then the Yogis are simple people. Now this is the thing thing also gets lost. That's why it is said better that there are also Mafias. I tell you and these try to develop detachment. It's alright, if it is Mafia are exploiting you. I have written this in there well and good, if it is not there doesn my book also, if you read it, that how these matter.

 22 Divine Cool Breeze Volume : IX Issue: 11 & 12 1997 This is no explanation. Your attention, if it is an old, quite an old drama, which I had read clear, is simple, you can see the thing clearly long time back. But this is the real pilgrims and with that attention only, that attention itself, they have shown, how a seeker goes into wrong takes you to the right place where you have to ways, methods and throughout they have very go, you get the right thing what you want to nicely brought in how even a Sahaja Yogi while buy. Can you tell me, these carpets are from rising falls into different pits. So it is a very where? They are mostly from Russia. I went to good thing for you to know that if you are a Russia and I saw this carpet factory. They have Sahaja Yogi, you should be very careful and no sense of export also. So, I told them that you should see that you don't fall into these how much will a carpet cost? Doctor knows. pits and ultimately the ego and superego. In They said only 20 dollars. I said 20 dollars for the west the problem is more of ego, not of a carpet? So, I told doctor now what to do? superego and for ego, to accept that you have We have to buy many. I said how much for ego is the only way and then it will drop out. export? 200 dollars. I said in India the other If you know there is ego, ego will dropout. way round. If they have to export something Simple thing is to know that you have ego. Ego then the price is less. I said alright, so I guess, of something. People have ego of any nonsense we must think of a solution because I need it. you know. There was one lady very proud and So I asked about 20 Sahaja Yogis to go and egoistical, so I asked about her, what is the buy each one. To Russians they give for 20 matter with her? Because she knows how to make dolls, that should give you ego or what, I didn't understand that part, but this is what So you should go in for solutions and not it is. Even for small things people have ego for problems. Greed is a problem, Greed is a and all this designing and all that is based on problem. How to get rid of the greed is the your stupid ego which makes you buy all these point and to get rid of the greed is that if I buy things to show off your ego. So, try to be something, for whom should 1 buy this one? humble, and try to understand that all these dollars. I said alright you bring this. For whom should I buy? Han (yes), this will worldly things, we are not going to take them be alright for another friend of mine. Liké that. with us. They are all going to lie down. I am If you train your mind on these lines not for not saying you renounce, I am not saying you yourself but for others, then, you'll be amazed, take sanyasa, but you should know that the this greed will run away and you'll have joy. value of these things is nothing compared to As you want to give me things, I understand you. When ego comes, this idiocity comes in, that I also want to give you, in the same way you think by wearing something great you have think of all others. They are all brothers and influenced others very much. You may, but those sisters. Some other countries, make friends with who are influenced are another set of fools, I other countries. If giving is there then this greed goes away, and you get what you want, the very simple mantra. Its surprising so far, with all the miracles you don't understand that what ever we need will also be provided for must say. Once I was wearing a ring and I went to shopping in one of the places and they were so respectful to me. I said, suddenly the shopkeepers who never respect me because I am an Indian, what has happened to them? I but you must need it, not for stupid collection had gone to a shop where the lady was known of things. This was a very - very good thing, to me. She said may 1 ask you, is this real? I acted very well. I enjoyed it thoroughly, this said what do you mean real? Is this real emerald? Swiss bank laundry. I know my country suffers Yes, yes very old from my family. Han!

So he said, don't wear any flowers at all. Then he said you must wear bangles, because he comes from a very thing makes them so, that you are so great, it's traditional family. All my life I have worn bangles. not. What is the greatest thing in us is our It pleases him, what's the matter! Little little Spirit. It's the spirit that we have and we should things you do just to please him. Then he'll know that w should be proud of it that we also start thinking what should I do for my have got the spirit within us and if you become wife?

Man's job is economics, politics, money earning. They have Now the greatest thing is to know that we made a mess out of it, I agree, quite a big are spiritual people and as spiritual people you mess. But your job is to make the society. And even dominate me in a way. If you all desire to make the society you must know how to for something, I can't get over it. I have to keep children pleased, how to keep husband accept, I have to keep you pleased. Many things pleased, how to help it out. On the contrary if I am doing just because you wanted. Doesn't you try all the time to dominate, that's not matter, it doesn't matter to me because nothing your job to dominate at all. Your job is to comes over my head. So its alright what ever make neutralize his domination by simple, simple children want let them do. But the one point is things. I'll give you an example. My husband this Ego, has to be really under control. There's is not here. He knows, I am very clever in one little more point I want to tell you, because certain things. In his office he had a gentleman. tomorrow I may not be able to say in Navaratri, I never used to interfere with his office. But there was one gentleman, good one, who gave don't know the price. No, can you get me one. I said why do you want to have it? You can have this one if you like. Like that, a small you are much above that. you see, I am bound by other things. I wanted to talk to people who are married in Sahaja up his organisation and joined another one, Yoga, specially to the ladies. I think some of because it was a private one, and he was getting them are extremely dominating and stupid. What more money so he joined it. But there he found is marriage? Marriage is honeymoon, I think. it was horrible. So he wanted to come back to Honey is the Essence and Moon is the peace. Shipping Corporation. But my husband is very Now if the women are quarrelsome, fighting, particular about rules - regulations. No, no, sarcastic, it is absolutely a hell for man. Instead no, no, now I won't have you, I don't want to of them if woman knows the essence, the honey, see your face, get out, this thing, that thing. she should know how to please the husband, to So, he came to me. Normally I never interfere. bring peace in the family. Now some of the He came to me and he said if you tell him, he husbands, are drunkards or anything, not in might listen. I said no, if I tell him he will never listen, but I know how to do it? So I told him that this gentleman came to see me. Han! Sahaja Yoga. What pleases the husband? You see in a way, it's a trick. It's a trick of a realised soul, how to please others? What do So he has come to the right person, now are we do to our husbands? Do we try to please you going to trouble me about him. No, no, them? First of all find out what he likes? My no, not me. But just think why he came to me? husband I would say, (he has gone away Thank He said why? Because he thinks I am more God) he used to say you should not wear any generous than you are. Immediately this flowers in your head. But in Maharashtra all competition started. And that fellow got the the married women are supposed to wear flowers. job. He was a great friend of his. Even in Since, that day I have never worn any flowers London he was helping him a lot. So when we

 24 Volume: IX Issue: 11 & 12 1997 Divine Cool Breeze think that we have to control our husbands, it's see men are right - sided, they are hot tempered. better to do in a very simple way. Only on But I have told you just now, how to capture fundamentals you can put down your foot. their anger. I have seen also in the films, you Otherwise for small small things, if you go on see, all romantic scenes going on. It never dominating your husband, I tell you, you will happens. No body is like that, its all absurd miss the point. You are married for stupidity thing. So you expect them to be film heroes. or for honeymoon? And in the West, specially It's not so.

English also, English girls have given duty, otherwise what else are you doing? I was me lot of trouble. I mean they are banned now. shocked, that a girl from Shillong! And this Because I can't help it. One girl from Shillong boy said "Mother you can kill me, but I will was married to somebody in USA. Imagine not have that girl here!" But she's not joy giving, from that horrible Shillong, where there is It's a fact. everyday at least 30 murders! She got such a good chance to go to US. Of course USA is also not a very great place. But she started am telling men, the trick of the trade is, if behaving as if she is a childish person and your wife is like that, try to understand why talking to him in such a manner. He told me she does it? What is her problem? Why is she Mother, she's a sadist. Whenever I telephone dominating? Or you think she is dominating to her, she talks to me in such a sarcastic you. Most of the times, most of the men who manner, this and that, that I am surprised. I talk that wives are like this, wives are very said a lady from Shillong, I can't believe it. dominating. Why she is dominating you? What's Then he told me what she talked to him and wrong with you that she is dominating you. If how she talked to him. I was amazed. I mean you introspect you'll find that you give very no man would be happy to hear all these things. little time to her. There was one lady, she wanted But she thought she was very friendly and she to have a divorce. I said why? Because he goes was joking and something like that. This does to work all the time and he is not there and not work out in marriage. Man doesn't want a this and that. But I said if you divorce, then wife to be on the horse and beating with a you'lI never be with him. Why do you want to whip. Why has he married? For the happiness, divorce. At least he gives you some time. But for the joy, for the sweetness. Its a very important if you divorce, then he'll never be with you. thing I wanted to talk because so many of women So why do you ask for divorce? I can't understand think that they are something great. Some of the logic. I mean women should not be brainless, them have some money, some of them have to say such a thing. If you want 10 divorce some jobs. But the first job is to keep the your husband for this, its absurd. Now for men society very happy and to keep your husband it is important that they should give some time, happy. It is the first job. If a woman cannot pay some attention and get some things that keep the husband happy, she is no good for us. they like. Now I'll give you again my own She is no good Sahaja Yogini. A man who is example. My husband never brought any flowers working in the office, has to keep his boss for me. You all bring flowers for me. But he. pleased. If he doesn't please his boss, he is never brought any flowers for me, whether it useless, he is thrown out of job. In the same was birthday or anything. Then I realised that way, a woman has to think about the husband this man has no sense of flowers. He doesn' in a very kind manner, because this is her job, know what is a rose or what is any other flower this is why she is married. Otherwise she should and he might bring something which is horrible! not marry, she can do what she likes. It is a May be cactus he might bring. It's better if he difficult thing to convince anyone because you doesn't bring anything because that would be If your wife is like that supposing, now I

One day he admitted I don't much of weight on my body and then I brought know about flowers, now will you tell me? it and put it properly in a box. He said when Except for roses, I don't know anything. And you'll be amazed even roses, he mixes out things. kept it nicely for one wedding, I will wear it So with such an ignorance of things if your sometime. I promised him and kept it because husband doesn't do, it is for consideration. But he does not understand about sarees. I know he men should try to know what a woman likes? doesn't understand about sarees. So if he doesn't What she wants? Moreover, men have their own understand, whatever he buys I say alright and style of thinking. Now, to give my own example he spends so much money on those things, again, better is, he buys always very expensive 45,000 Rupees! He doesn't understand what is things. So I have told him, don't buy anything real what is unreal. Nothing. Doesn't matter. for me. You don't like. No, no, I like it. But You have to see his heart, how he is giving, too much of these expensive things, why you with what love he is giving! He doesn't should buy. So he is very fond of buying this understand what can you do. Poor man! I always kind of sweater from that Scotch house. Very buy suit lengths for him. Once he said I am expensive they are two hundred and fifty pounds going to buy this time. I said better buy. He each, you know! I don't know how many I bought such aä horrible one. He went to the have. How many in black, How many? I told office and everybody said, Sir, this is not your him I'll get it from Switzerland. They are much taste. He threw it and said I will never buy cheaper there and all that. Then another is he now, you go and buy for me. See, the trouble wants to buy Kashmir coats for me, always. I is if woman takes interest and knows what sort must be having at least ten of them hanging. of colour he will like because public opinion is But he likes to give that only, alright. So I am very important for men, what the public says. passing on them to my daughters, grand daughters Like once I painted my drawing room with and all that. But what to do now? He doesn't very nice colour, pink and black mixed very mean anything bad, but because he doesn't know, nice, because it is the sign of warmth. He said doesn't know. First thing he did was to when what is this colour you have put? You should in India, before going to the Puja he went to have given this and that. I said all right, tomorrow buy a saree for me, one of my nephews went we have a party, after that I will change. Next with him. He says give me the most expensive day people came and said, "What a colour, saree that you have. So these people thought have you made this colour? He started looking somebody has come now, the shop keepers could at me. I said should I remove it? No, no, no. understand, this gentleman doesn't know anything. So they brought out a saree and said you should see that you create a good public this is the most expensive saree, the price is opinion in his presence - so that he appreciates 45,000 rupees, in those days. Alright, Alright, you. All these are tricks. I tell you we are very you give me. I have a card, will you take the simple but you have to understand. Sometimes card? Yes, yes, we'll take. He bought a saree. they get angry, doesn't matter. Actually if they It is so heavy. It is so heavy, it was something are angry with somebody else, they will come like armour. He said you must wear for the and put it on you. It is better because if they Puja. I was walking like a giant. There is a do anything to others they will beat them.

So that is up, I didn't know how to get up with that the thing I wanted to tell you that you should are you wearing it next?

 Volume : IX Issue 11 & 12 1997 26 Divine Cool Breeze make very good house wives very good have? But immediately they say things which Grahalaxmi. Why I am telling this is that I am will hurt. This is not the way a woman should suffering from Grahalaxmi Chakra. All the do. On the contrary, always praise, what's the doctors have told me, it is because the collective harm? By praising something you are not losing Grahalaxmis are not all right, because they are your business, by saying what a nice thing! not good housewives. Like, I tell you, we have What a nice saree! What nice clothes! What's Swiss women. They are very good I agree but the harm? very fond of cleanliness. Swiss women are mad after cleanliness. You cannot talk to them even You will really enjoy your sweetness. It is for 5 minutes. If you are sitting with them they n0t telling lies, not to be that honest, it is not are picking up this, picking up that cleaning, necessary. Because you do not like something, cleaning, cleaning! Very difficult, Swiss women. Now I was in Ilithriya, someone told me that women of Ilithriya are known to be Swiss women. So, it does not matter if the house is a little bit remain in Sahaja Yoga? So it is very important untidy. In India no woman would do that. The guests are sitting and she is with the hover! If are you to like or not like? anything breaks! In India, if thermometer breaks, they will say, it is good, now there will be no So again the same thing comes to that the women temperature. But I have seen, in the West it is have to have a heart very large heart, beautiful very surprising. Supposing some coffee spills, heart. Your Guru is a Mother. So you have to immediately they will bring the hover or something to clean it, in the presence of the and should have very very large heart so that guests! It is not important, it is a very subtle all this selfishness, even this bank will collapse type of materialism, I think, that a person is - if you do that. It is existing because you have sitting, who is a guest and why are you trying a small heart, if you have a large heart then to do all these things in her presence? But the will collapse. I have said it, specially because western women never understand. Another thing I have had many complaints about women who is, now you go to an Indian house, their colour are married here, some Indian women aiso. scheme is different and if you go to South That's why I am telling you.

amazed at these people who have come to the academy and have picked up this difficult Indian
music so easily. Some of them have been only for two mnonths. Imagine, people spend all their
lives learning classical music and how these people have picked it up so fast. I mean, they say,
it is due to Sahaja Yoga but that means really a miracle, really miracie. Even the Indian music
sung by Indian musicians, they are today amazed. The way they have been singing like great
Ustads. I just don't know how they have done this and how they have achieved it! Because,
I know in my family there is too much of music and those who were interested got up early
in the morning and practised three hours in morning and three hours in the evening. While I
find these people coming from countries where they do not know a word about Indian music,
picking it up so fast. May be, I cannot just explain, may be in their previous lives they were
in India or may be that they are so talented. I cannot explain. Really if it is due to Sahaja Yoga,
then I must say, Sahaja Yoga is something that creates miracles within and without. I have seen
only the miracles without, but now this is the miracle within, that people who have never sung
Indian music, have never heard about Indian music, are singing so well.
May God bless you.
