May-June 2000 2. The Divine Cool Breeze EASTER PUJA - 99 (25-4-99 ISTANBUL) (We have to establish our Meditation) oday we assembled here in Turkey in Istanbul to celebrate the all have awareness is very very, I should say, absolutely dull and dead. We can see flowers, we can see faces, we can see resurrection of Christ and with that buildings, we can see cities, we can also celebration of your resurrection. see all those things. All these things we see and we feel we are quite aware Christ's resurrection was a great message for us. He won over the death and came out of that dead body which we are not. Actual awareness comes to us when we cross the limit of our mind, go beyond the mind and with another body which was living body. The body was the same but one was the dead body and another was a this was only possible because of the resurrection of Christ. body which was living.. Its not only symbolic. It actually happened with Him. After all He was a Divine child. He resurrected himself because he was a divine person but also we are resurrected because we are blessed by divinity. Now this mind of ours, which is in between, is controlled by Shri Jesus Christ. He controls through He was a Divine person. So, actually it has happened with Him. It is not just a symbolic thing that he died and he resurrected into another person or, you can say, into a living person. For your Agnya, both the sides. He him what is death? For eternal beings controls your conditioning and he there are no deaths. There is no death controls your ego and brings balance for a person who is eternal. He may, in you. But when this Agnya chakra for the time being, look as if he is starts spindling all kinds of ideas, dead but he can never die. Christ was some times reacting, some times like that, very very special incarnation accepting conditioning, it is a slave. which came on this earth to be reborn It is not a free thing because it is out of the dead. Now, we are also, working under the influence of your when we are not yet realized souls, Ego or your Super Ego. For that is when we are not yet enlightened, we the death for our awareness, that we are also dead in the sense, our cannot, we cannot understand May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze something beyond, that there exists a life. Beyond this we cannot see. This our kith and kin! Then there are children who are killing, parents that are killing. No relationship is there. It is a sign of a person whose awareness is completely dead. In our is we have seen now that we were all in a condition that if one were dead, we were feeling bad, we were feeling anxious, we were fighting and we were thinking that there is something awareness at least we should have feelings of compassion and love. wrong with our present life. There is nothing definitely which makes us But that one is lost. Its not there, we don't have it. The whole world is aflame. When you read about all the wars that are going on, the way they are killing children, the way they are slave, by which we are slavish. That we realised, no doubt, and we started seeking the truth. We started seeking the truth in so many ways. I know, so destroying human beings! It is a many went astray and they lost their balance and have fallen into a wrong attitude. That by the destruction of human beings things complete demise. But so many of you will improve. It is a very very wrong have been salvaged, have been saved by the great example of the Christ's resurrection. He had to venture. He concept that by destroying them one can achieve something. Our work in Sahaja Yoga is doing well, I must say, but it has to stop this had to do it and he worked it out. Without him our agnya would not have been that flexible. As it is, horrible attitude of human beings to destroy. So you might ask that what to do Mother? What to do to stop this human beings in the olden times were conditioned very much and when they have become modern, they are full of Ego nothing in between. With destruction? Answer is in the life of Christ. You resurrect people, these two influences, we are resurrect them, enlighten them, imprisoned. We are absolutely dead bring them to a state where they people. We have no sensitivity for understand what is right and what is wrong. Let them feel, let them feel anything. I have seen now, even today the compassion and love that is within you. When that starts, that 3rd you can see what things are happening across? If people are very anxious to force within us starts acting, our ego kill each other, human beings want to also comes down. Our conditioning kill human beings! Can you inmagine such a stupid thing that we should kill also comes down. For example if we May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze you are nothing but human beings. All think we are Muslims, we have right these false ideas that we are Hindus, to kill others, if we think we are Jews we are Muslims, we are Christians is we have right to kill others. All these differentiations and this kind of all man created. I mean man can discriminations, that we have, is so create anything. And human beings stupid because you are human beings, have no brains to understand that they are human beings. You are killing these are allI man created. human beings! Not that they have For example, you see, in America committed any sin or they have done anything wrong, except that in their they create associations and big organisations and all based on foolishness they believe that they are absolute falsehood, absolute wrong this and they are that. They are not. ideas, absolute destructiveness, but You are just human beings. In every human being, as you know very well. they form it. They form, they have groups, this, that and they are there is Kundalini. There is no discrimination, every one, whether prospering. But it has a repurcursion, you are a Hindu, Muslim, Jew or Christian, Sikh, Parsi anyone. You they don't know, if you start doing such false things against human beings who are created by God and may call by any name. Now just look at how we accept a certain nobody can destroy them. Then there denomination for ourself. You are are repurcursions. Many many countries who were once upon a time born say to a Christian family, or you are born to a Hindu family, rulers, were known as great things, immediately you start thinking that have come down. you are there to uphold all the flags of that religion in which you are born. You are born in that religion without And all such countries who now think they are very rich and all that will have to come down. All of them have to come down is just an ultimate result of this stupidity to believe that you are higher than others, that you your knowledge, without your permission, understanding. So how can you belong to that religion. You have got Kundalini, everybody has got Kundalini. So you can only belong to the religion of humanity, every human being has got Kundalini. So bugs. While mosquitoes and bugs, without any can kill others. So a non-violent method started which is of another absurdity, I think, because then they start saving mosquitoes and also the May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze He resurrected himself. So we are also you must know, are the greatest blood in the same position now. I know suckers. They live only on human blood. Such things, what's the use of saving them? So, human beings take to something that is absured, stupid, foolish. I don't knew what is the many a times Sahaja Yoga was challenged. Now its much better. Not so bad. It was challenged and there were so many problems, but now its smoothing down, because that's the truth, that's the reality. That's what is divinity. So you should not be afraid. All these funny ideas about Sahaja Yoga also will die out. It's a resurrection not only of you people but also of our ideologies. Now the ideologies change that our awareness should be enlightened. We should reason. The way they accept things is absolutely unbelievable. I think it is a kind of a slavish mentality which doesn't give them freedom to think what is right, what is wrong. For this we have Christ. We have Christ, a person who was absolutely free, free from all kinds of prejudices, all kinds of temptations, all kinds of nonsense that human beings follow. have light in our awareness. This has come suddenly through Sahaja Yoga But one may say that Mother after all He was divine. He was divine and light then how can you go further to now you are made divine also. So the right path. Its not easy to describe to people, that if you don't have the how can we now join together to make a full effort to tell people that He died so young, and brutely he was what are you doing? Why are you killed. But still he resurrected himself. Christ's life, how went through that, doing it? What is the need to do such things? On one side is, we can say, mass destruction through stupidity, He came out of all that, came out of that ordeal. So for us also when we have problems in Sahaja Yoga, we another side is you own self should know we have a power to destruction. Take to drinking. Take to other self-destructive things which are immoral. That's very easily available and people like it very much and they don't like when you talk that it is destructive. So either we destroy resurrect ourselves. No one can destroy us. No one can finish us off because we have power to resurreet ourselves. This special power that we have to resurrect, you should all the time understand and feel it and others or destroy ourselves. meditate on it. I hear from people Christ was destroyed by others and from every country that the May - June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze awareness, in our new personality, Government is doing like this, the in our strengthened personality. Government is doing like this or they Meditation is the only way we can are having same trouble or they call you a sect or they call you this and grow and then no one can destroy that. Alright, it does not matter. Your you because you are all protected by duty is to believe that you are the Divine Love. You don't have to following the foot steps of Christ and worry as to who will destroy you. no one can destroy you. This is the What will happen? Of course in the message of Christ's life that Divine beginning there is a little agitation. People feel little bad about it. This is alright. But actually no one can When his body could not be destroy you. Have this faith in you. destroyed then how can you destroy Christ had no organization. He had the Divine Light in Him. So many no Adi Shakti to support him. In no Life cannot be destroyed. Sahaja Yogis are here who have been since long in Sahaja Yoga and they personality he managed to get out of have had problems and they went all the problems, of all the tortures. through lot of troubles, I agree. But of all the atrocities on him. So now all these things have subsided and you have better advantage, because now you are in such a resurrected you are enlightened. Firstly he was a position that after some time, you will Divine Person and he could go be amazed, Sahaja Yoga will take through all that. You don't have to. way but only through his divine No body will torture you, nobody will put you in jail, nobody will crucify you. No body will. That's not possible. But mentally if you are over all over the world. All over the world people will take to Sahaja Yoga and we will have such a lot of Sahaja Yogis all over the world that all these upset, sometimes you get upset I know. In certain countries people get minority of some stupid people will disappear. upset because they think they are oppressed because they are in Sahaja Yoga. I assure you no one can do that. You must know that all the time you For that what have you to do? Sometime people ask me what do we have to do? You must have also read in the bible that Christ prayed and he was praying. In the same way we can say we have to meditate. Through are protected. Christ is there as your eldest brother. I have always said that. But also you have your Mother and meditation we will grow in our May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze what's wrong with that religion, as if they turn round and see the image of their society and know what's wrong with them. And when they start meditating on those corrections, it you have all the Ganas and all the angels around you. When I see this I just thought look at this. In every country they have shown angels and Ganas are there. Such pure forms of protection you have. So there is works. Societies are improving. You nothing to worry about your see so called religious ideas are destruction or your impediments or falling into their our traps and they what ever you may call it, a kind of a will all fall because thats falsehood. That's not real religion. Religion is within ourselves and this pure destructive force is acting on. From the life of Christ we have to religion is the one which is a global religion. The solution comes like this know that no one can destroy a realized soul in these modern times. that supposing you have wars. Wars As it is, they never destroyed. We had so may saints who were killed, who in the name of religion, in the name were tortured, but see they still exist of God specially and in the name of as poetry, as poems. Also as their religion, they have wars. So now what blessings, every where. They are not happens? All such wars that take place cannot destroy the reality, finished. They are not dead. Though cannot destroy the truth. This is it seems that they are no more but another message of Christ's even to take their names and even to resurrection. You cannot. You may call them, they work out. They are there in their spirit and they help you. think that today you have destroyed these people but they are there. All Assured by Christ's life, by His the saints, all the great people who resurrection we are resurrected have been resurrected in life are all the time there. Their protections are people. Of course our body has also changed. After resurrection you know there. Their guidance is there. You can that your chakras work out all the see them in a way that they are there. curing and all the blessings. Our So one should have no fear. The attitude, our mental attitude also fear of death has to go away. So many of them have said the same changes and also our ego subsides. Not only that also our conditionings go out. Specially I was so happy that that what is the death after all? The death dies itself when you are those people, who are born in a resurrected. So one should not be particular religion, immediately see 2000 May-June The Divine Cool Breeze afraid of death. Now how many of personality and sitting down here you you have been afraid of death before are working out the global problems. your resurrection, but not now, you You are not a small person now, who are not bothered as to when the death is only worried about his own comes? What happens? Or which way children, about his family and this or you are going to be, so called, that. This mind of yours has destroyed. You know you cannot be destroyed. In your heart of heart you all know this very well that you cannot be destroyed. The fear of our expanded, expanded like this that it works automatically for all the problems of the world. For a women, I read the destruction goes away, no doubt. But newspapers. Specially women seldom read newspapers. They think it is stupidity to read the newspapers. But I read and Iread those where any attention is needed. I have seen-it works. But all of you put together, if you understand it is your responsib- one thing remains, that is the compassion. When you see all these bad things are happening and people are being tortured, your mind cannot take it for granted. It starts responding to that and it feels the pain of others. Tremendous, but as a result of that your will power, your thinking on ility to correct all the destructive those lines, your tears even are forces, to put them right, you just powerful and they can bring solace have to collectively meditate on the to those people who are suffering points where you find, there is a big unnecessarily. You have to experi- problem. ment with it. Just have a feeling of compassion and love. Things will because of religions, mainly. If they improve. Now as it is, you meditate all can jump into a new religion, but meditate with such compassion global religion, they all are one. They and such love that your tears can also cannot then fight because there is one have an effect on these people who religion. But they don't want to have are stupid, cruel, and killing each one religion because they want to other. But it is important for you to fight, they are fighting cocks. But if know that now you are not an they came to Sahaj, if they become individual but you have become a enlightened, then they will only enjoy Now, the problem mainly is global personality. You are not an a global love of each other and not killing of individual. You are 9. May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze will happen to them? Where will they each other, destruction of others. This is what we have to learn from the life go? What will be their situation? This one is a big message for us that even on the cross he said, 'forgive'. Oh God, Oh Father, forgive them. In the of Christ who was alone, who was single. He did not have collective behind Him. But how powerful he same way we have to also forgive people. It is very important from the life of Christ that we have to forgive. was that he fought the death and came out of it so clearly at the stage of Agnya. Without him we could not have worked out Sahaja Yoga. This forgiveness was of the greatest Kundalini would not have gone importance for the world to through, unless and until he had sacrificed his life. And he readily learn how to forgive, you will be sacrificed. He accepted the task of amazed that half of the wars of this sacrificing His life and then world will be finished. Now resurrecting. He passed through, I something happened thousands of understand. You must forgive. If we years back, still people are fighting. should say, a very constricted channel of Agnya to put you people right by Still they are fighting, thinking this saying "you forgive everyone". If thing happened so many years back, forgiving were such a powerful thing so there are wars. If we can really that you can even fight your death forgive those people who happened then why not forgive? Many people before we were even born, why say that Mother we cannot forgive and should we form a group of such I have told them hundred times that people? Why? Because there is something called hatred in human beings. They have hatred. Hatred for what are you doing if not forgiving? So the message of Christ's life is that He forgot, forgave all the people who troubled him. Even he said "Oh God, this, hatred for that. Even in small things they say, I don't like this. I like this. It is very common, now a days please forgive them because they specially. When we were young we don't know what are they doing." were not supposed to say such things. On the cross he says those things, I don't like it, I like it, we were not supposed to say. But now a days freedom is given to them to talk like this. I don't like them, I don't like that, when he was tortued, insulted. He says Oh God, forgive them, have pity, have sympathy for them because they don't know what are they doing. They are killing the son of God and what I don't like that person. Who are you? 10 May June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze never. He never boasted of anything, but when He saw people were selling What do you think yourself to judge others? You don't know how to appreciate. You don't know how to things in the Holy places, what did enjoy, and only what you want to say he do? He started beating them with is I don't like it'. And supposing you hunters, because that was wrong, like it then what will you do? Whether absolutely wrong against the holiness you like or don't like is just the same. of that place. Why He didn't say, But just to show off your Ego. You don't like this?" No, he just showed say I don't like this way. I don't like. his complete disapproval of the whole Because there is no love. If there is system of selling things in the temple love then you can enjoy everything. or in the holy place. People go there We will never say, 'I don't like it, I to worship. They need a mind which like it.' You will definitely enjoy if is devoid of money orientation. There you really say that I enjoy. I enjoy should be no money orientation when everything. you are meditating. This is the biggest You are closing down yourself by problem of today. Every thing is saying I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it, as if you were a great commander or a person, a judge to money orientation. You like a car which is very expensive. So you want to have. By hook or crook you will say this thing. It is very remarkable get that car and sit in that. You might that in the West it is even more be a thief but you buy an expensive car to show off. Perhaps, may be prominent that they will say I don't because you are a thief, that's why like it. I don't like it." Of course in the East, I would say, in India if you want to hide your personality. So somebody says like that, people will there is no truthful life. Its all just say he is just trying to show off, on showing off and thinking no end of the face. But showing off is not yourself. But when death will come regarded as bad manners. This is not at your door steps, what will you do? At that time you will be trembling. regarded as bad manners in the West. With all your so called achievements To feel shy of anything is regarded and so called showing off, you will as bad manners but to boast of just jumble before death. But a Sajaja something, no body feels that it is bad Yogi cannot. He will like if the death manners. has to come, it has to come. He will not tremble that the death is Did Christ boast of anything? No, The Divine Cool Breeze May-June 2000 11 something dangerous, but it is a place where he can go and rest. He won't mind, he won't mind anything meditation. That's very important. The other day I met one lady. She told me of several miracles in her life, how because he is above death, he is above she was saved. She was about to die, destruction. So he would not mind she came across an accident, all kind. anything, whatever comes his way, and he will surrender to it easily. We But how she was saved? While her husband, he succumbed to all kinds have Kabir-Kabir has written so many of things. So I said, "what do you poems, mostly about death. He said when death came, I didn't say a single mean? How it has happened." He said, "Mother its nothing but word. I didn't fight but what I did is Shraddha, Shraddha is dedication, that I took a sheet on top of me and surrendering. Surrendering, went off to sleep. How sweetly he because I am surrendered. I said describes death! Kabir, reminds me of Christ sometimes. How sweetly how? That I don't know, I am just Christ also went through all these surrendered, I feel so comfortable, things and when we died, the whole so lively and so much out of fear elements shook. He was the master when I know I am surrendered, of elements. They shook. There was completely surrendered to my spirit. earthquake and all kinds of things This is what is that we have to learn that happened. They felt his death. when we meditate-that we have to not he. They felt that such a great surrender. divinity which is the essence of Mohammed Sahib has called existence has been killed like that. Islam.

But what he said that you must surrender to your global nature, to your higher nature. You must not die also were not aware of it. But he did, he did come out of that, deadening thing for which everybody was so out. You must not fizzle out into these much shocked. worldly turmoils and worldly things. His death itself gives us strength. It is a very strength giving example We have no death. We have of Christ and He is with us. He will resurrected and resurrection is with always guide us. He will look after us. But we have to establish. We have us, not only but also he will give us strength. He will destroy all those to establish our Sahaja Yoga, our May June 2000 12 The Divine Cool Breeze who will be against eternal life. He personality it was! It was subjected will destroy non-sensical things and to this kind of torture. He could have you are seeing now that how in destroyed all of them in no time. He Kaliyuga all these institutions who was so powerful, such a powerful talk of religion and fight are getting personality, but he did not. He forgave destroyed. Automatically, we have them. He gave you the message of done nothing. On their own only, by forgiveness, the greatest force that can their own doings they are finishing. work out. Now also you should Because there is no reality. There is surrender yourself to this idea of no spirit in them and without the spirit forgiveness and really try to forgive. what is left is nothing but a dead body. You will be amazed, you will feel The whole understanding should be very much peaceful, very happy and for Sahaja Yogis that we have to be the person who have tortured you spirit oriented, not money oriented, will came down. What we have to body oriented, emotions oriented do now, is to transform people. but spirit oriented, which is a joy That's our job. We have to giving thing-and you will be transform them. We surprised, with that orientation you transformed, we are at a point, we are will be the most happy, most loving, can call we are resurrected. We have most beautiful person. Immediately people will know around that there is something about this man, some spark about this lady, some sort of a to resurrect the whole world. That's our job. All these fights, all these quarrels, all these falsehood will just be finished. spark that she is or he is so much different from others. It can be For us Christ is our leader, who has recognised in no time. Now at the done this for us. He came as an ordinary human being, lived as an ordinary human being, with all his powers within him. He never used them to destroy. In the same way, we can also, with love and affection, we can also really come out of our death, come out of our misgivings, come out time of Christ, very few people could recognise him, because they were not enlightened. Because they were very much below the level of human beings, I should say. But you are not. You are quite aware. You are born in modern times. And at this time when we think of Christ, we should know, of our destructive nature. This life it was! What a grand destructive nature is the most what a The Divine Cool Breeze May - June 2000 13 dangerous thing for the Sahaja Yogis. That's the only hope we have that Sahaja Yogis are resurrected. Only thing I know that if we have so many Sahaja Yogis, this world will change. and try to find out how many people he can convert and how many people he can bring round. I hope next time we will have double the number of people that are here from all these eight countries who are hosting now. This world has to change. But your progress should go on. You should All my love to you all. Great days progress more and more and you are waiting us. We have to now should not retrace back. understand only our responsibility. Main thing is, how many people we have converted? How many people For small things here and there you do not worry. You have a very great responsibility and that responsibility is to transform the human beings. we have resurrected? That is the have record, not how many Pujas you That's your due, how may have you transformed? How many have you attended and all that. That's not so important. Pujas are just to give you strength and to give you power. But changed. It is alright for men or they are not your work, that's not your work, for your work you can take from Pujas all the strength that you women. You have to change people. This is your job and this is the power you have got from Christ that you have to change them, transform them need, but if you don't use this power then what's the use? So now I leave it into the new world of happiness and to you to remember that you are resurrected and you have to resurrect others. It's a very very important job at this time of complete turmoil and joy. Which we call as the Sahaja Nirmal Dharama. If it works out, if it really works out, think of the world, how beautiful it will became for us. destruction. It's the duty of every Sahaja Yogi to go into this kind of a new venture May God Bless You.

It right side and created Maha- has a very ancient history and as you Saraswati, we can say, the whole know Athena resided here. She was Universe, all creation She created. the Primordial Mother. "Atha in And then She came down; came Sanskrit means primordial. So this down and settled as Kundalini but place has been described even in the coming down She ereated Maha '. Laxmi principle which is for our Manipur is the Nabhi. Also in ascent. This was her movement but it is said that She incarnated in the Nabhi because may be after doing all this She incarnated in the Nabhi and also we see that Ganesha's Kundalini Puranas as Manipur Dweep Sanskrit Manipur means the Nabhi Chakra. So it is described as Manipur Dweep. It is written 'Manipur-E- Dweepe'. Just imagine these puranas, these ancient time books and guess how old they are? Must be at least is in the Nabhi. She incarnated in the Nabhi, they say because the first pure 8000 or may be more and they have desire of a person, or an animal or described the Manipur Dweep as the anybody is hunger. That is in the place of Nabhi, where resides the Nabhi. And this hunger She wanted Adishakti, that's the Athena.

Also Kundalini; also She has one trident. Athena the Primordial Mother, they All this is sign that when She was born say, expressed herself first in the sea on the Nabhi itself. From there She did all her work. Now we can say that She knew that She has to fight the evil forces in the Nabhi chakra. All this history is really shown very clearly in the Greek Mythology, but later on in her movement, when She came 2000 19 The Divine Cool Breeze May - June the poet who came with him here and this Mythology took a very-very wrong path through human beings as they know how to spoil everything. So what they did is to make all the he has described into all details what things are. He has also described that there is a temple of Primordial gods and goddesses look like human beings and so we have here many gods which are in India. They are represented even in the Greek mythology. But the Indian gods are kept very pure and very godly and saintly, but here it was brought down to the level of human beings and so many gods who were there were shown to be little different from Mother, very clearly, of the Adi Shakti and there is the Ganesha also sitting there. He described it in all details. Also the steps going to the temple are three and a half pieces. Three are big ones and last one is half one. If you may extend them to the whole world, it can make three and a half coils. Also very clearly it is said that there are Swayambhu, Swayambhu of Shri Ganesha, and also about the oracle of Delfi they say that in the Nabhi chakra the Gods will live. All this is descri- Indian gods. Because they made it human. It's very surprising how it was deviated gradually from one to another? Even in India, its done but bed in India much before, much much it does not stay, because we have before Alexander came to India and from that we can understand that there might have been much more rapport. May be, may be many people were going abroad or many be coming here Puranas. So every time people try to ruin and spoil it, it goes back to the normal state because we have Puranas. But Puranas are not or may be from the torsion area all worshipped like Bible or like Koran, like any other such religious book but they are just relating the history of the ancient times and one has to just see So its absolutely an ancient place we it that it is intelligible, this can be are in, which is truthful in its explained, people can know about it. description and everything, no doubt, But the way they have described but later on the deterioration came to Manipur Dweep, was really very great. Even at the time of Alexander. of Kundalini was there and the Greece was a very prosperous and the Puranas were written down. this place. Also here we have question chakras were painted also. But when extremely beautiful State. It is Christianity came, they said, it is all bogus, forget it. They didn't want to see the other side and that is how it described by Chanderavardai, one of 20 May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze Mrs. Srivastava. So they came to see became just a kind of history also that was not so clean and clear. The faith me. Imagine them. The idea of in Athena subsided, faith in all the serenity does not exist now for women in the world. But these ladies Gods and Godesses also subsided and came to see me that who is this serene it started becoming absolute and they lady who has come. And they looked after me very well and then afterwards there was an election coming also. But I don't forget the way they told me, and very respectfully, they said, how did you develop this serenity. I said I did not develop. This is just existing and I did not do anything to look serene or in any way work it out. There is no beauty parlour for that but it is something innate in me what you think to be serenity. She said, no no said it was disappearing nicely, This was the situation of this Greece. Now again we are back. In the Manipur-E- Dweepe we are sitting down nicely and for Laxmi Puja, which is in the Nabhi, Laxmi came out of water, no doubt, but Athena is the Mother of Laxmi. She is the one who is all pervading and She created Laxmi and this Laxmi is the one that ruled here and She was very much manifesting and She created beautiful things all the men praise you that She is a person who is, even in these horrible days, extremely serene. because they were very rich people. Greeks were very rich and they were indulging into all kinds of things, specially in business, then in shipping. Now Diwali is very significant Shipping is their one of the most because today is the darkest day. important business and I came with Darkest night and longest night, and my husband here because he was a to end it up they put lights. Now in shipping man. I was surprised that at the atmosphere its all very dark black, the airport we had the Minister's wife the sun is gone. So they put on all another Minister's wife, Prime these lights. In the same way it is Minister's wife. I was surprised. Kaliyuga. Now Kaliyuga, even Normally they never go to receive any consider as one day it is very dark, horrible, it has lots of problems which lady visitor who comes. No, no they said you see what happened that our made our life miserable and we don't husbands told us if you really want know how to move with love. At this to see a lady who is absolutely, moment what is necessary is to emaculately feminine and very enlighten oneself. Kaliyuga is at its auspicious and very serene then it is worst now. The kind of things people 21 May - June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze enlightened. There should be light in the hearts of people. Once they are enlightened, this darkness, from which we are suffering because of our are doing even in the name of God is shocking. But that is Kaliyuga, where we have lost all sense of direction. We don't know which way we are going. ignorance, will be finished and we will have the absolute knowledge. So All kinds of wrong things we are this is a new age that we are talking about here, right now here, that it is doing and we think its alright. After all what's wrong in it. Everything you going to work out in such a manner that there will be all enlightened tell them, they say what's wrong? You tell them don't do it, they say what's wrong? That's how every human personalities together and they will being has become very individual- know what is right, what is real istic. In a way he is not, because they follow a fashion, they follow a style. I mean they are not. They are slavish. Knowledge that is love. Knowledge But they believe that they are very that is compassion. This is what we independent. They are free people. have to understand that we have come They can do whatever they like. As a into another area, arena where all the result of this freedom, in this skirmishes and the troubles of knowledge, Gyana. So ours is the path of knowledge. Kaliyuga, what has happened with Kaliyuga cannot interfere. Its reigning them is that they have become outside, nothing inside. Its like that extremely ugly. The kind of things that we are now not only free but they are doing in Kaliyuga is whatever we are doing is nothing but unbelievable. Even when they are freedom. preached, they are in the Churchs, this thing, that thing. They become so horribly immoral that you can not anything that can debase us, make us Today we are not attached to lose grip over truth. When such a believe how come that be in the name of God, under the roof of God, But it personality is brought in, then what has started, that is Kaliyuga. And this happens? That all these ideas of Kaliyuga will disappear. But I must say it is the last judgement at the same time. Those who accept the truth and reside in truth and grow Kaliyuga has to be finished. So what do we do to remove the darkness of the night, is to put light. in truth will remain, and all other In the same way people should be The Divine Cool Breeze May-June 2000 22 will be perished. It is said already. horrible temperament can develop Like you see a garden in which there are some trees, which are nourished that you blame others, never yourself that it is your mistake that you hit yourself. It was you who did wrong and that's what it is. well, which get lot of water and love and which give also so much to people. They exist. The others are burnt down and finished. In the same way we have to first accept the love, take the love, nourish yourself with that love and then you give to others. This is a simple way you can This is what we call the illusion, the Bhram'. And this illusion has to go away. For Kaliyuga it is said it is the Era of illusions and this illusion, if you fall into it you are finished. But if you see the illusions then you try overcome the Kaliyga's curses. Kaliyuga is so much full of darkness to seek the truth. That's why today that we start hitting each other. For the seeking is very strong because example you are all sitting here. they can feel it is an illusion. It is not Suddenly it becomes dark, you don't the truth they know and once they know how to move, whether you are know it is not the truth, what do they hitting others or not, with whom are SO do? They want to know what is the you sitting, nothing. It's the same. truth, where is the truth? And they try with the darkness in the heart, to find it. That's how also in this Kaliyuga the seeking has started. darkness in the mind, you don't know where are you, what are you doing and what you should be doing? Just The story about Kaliyuga is also told in another Puranas, Damayanti Purana. Where Damayanti, the wife of Nala was separated from him like going amuck you go on hitting each other. This is what is Kaliyuga and the one who recognises it and gets out of it is the Sahaja Yogi. Otherwise they are just like other people, if you are still in the same perifery, in the same circles of because of the same illusions created by Kali. So one day it happened that Nala got hold of this horrible Kali and he said that now I am going to strangle you and finish you up. So Kali said, you can do it, but first listen to my importance, my Mahatmaya, what imbalance. Now another thing in Kaliyuga is this that even if you are hit, even if importance I have, why I am here? you are destroyed, they just don't blame themselves. Thus another you listen to me I will tell you. When So he waited. He said now agree, if May-June 2000 23 The Divine Cool Breeze I will come and I will rule the world, that's the Diwali. If the people are means when there will be Kaliyuga, enlightened that's the Diwali. That people will get into Bhranti, mean they remove all the darkness of illusions. They will not know whether Kaliyuga and you all enjoy the beauty this is truth or not and they will then and joy of Kaliyuga. Its very very try to seek the truth. But not only the symbolic, I should say, that Diwali people those who go to jungles and has already started. We have many those who renounce every thing, but lights and we have to get more lights. there will be another type, the same Not because it is short of light. Why people who are doing this kind of are we taking more lights? Why do seeking will, in the Kaliyuga, take we want? Because all must be saved. birth and will be normal house Our effort is to save everyone of them. holders and they will get into these It is difficult, very difficult. illusions. At that time when they will But you can see now, how like into this illusions then only they seeds, realize souls go and plant themselves in very far-fetched places get will start seeking, realising that it is untruth and they will seek the truth at and there they prosper, become very beautiful trees, fragrant and which are that time. At that time only they will get their self-realization. He told it giving shade to others. That's why you see people from all sorts of places are being awakened and they become very clearly, thousands of years back. So Kaliyuga is the time where people can get their self-realization. They will know their self. They will know the truth. This is said long time back realized souls and they awaken others. Its all the process. It's so well built in Itlooks like that and it is working and you can see now itself. So this was the time meant for that because out well. The only thing which is if you are alright like in Satyayuga doubtful is that how many will come and all that, so you don't seek. You to Sahaja Yoga and how many we just accept, you are obedient, you are can salvage and save? This is the good people. But in Kaliyuga you only problem and for that you really start seeking the absolute truth should be prepared that every one and that is why these lights depict that of you should decide that I am going character or you can say that soul to save atleast one soul every day. which are being enlightened. So you One person every day. Supposing we are all enlightened souls. For me have some people who are getting drowned in a river or in a sea. What May- June 2000 24 The Divine Cool Breeze and also they can go about anywhere they feel like, specially on the day they get realization. It has worked wonders because that day you are in a stronger mood and you avoid all do you do? You all rush together to save. You go all out to save their lives. In the same way we have to understand that we have to save the lives of all the people and for that we have to work very hard. wrong things. Now so mnany of you have grown up in Sahaja Yoga and are transformed completely. So, very Now in this rising from illusion to truth also we have certain problems which must be faced in a proper way. happy to see that. I have not done much, I don't think. I have just One of the problems that arises out enlightened in a way that is very far of this is the hunger. Hunger could fetched. But I don't do anything, be for money, could be for food, without doing anything if you get could be for anything. Now if there enlightened and say, you have done is a hunger for money it is going to it. I cannot believe it. How can that settle you permanently. Because it is be. I did not do anything, just you got never satiable. It can never be your realisation. But now when I see s and I reflect and find how beautifully people are just going mad, really mad. you people sing, how beautifully you They do not care whether others have have become sweet and how it or not, others have this convenience beautifully you have become friendly or not but just like to show off. They to each other, I am convinced and feel want to show off. They are very rich, that it won't take much time for you they are very good and do all kinds to establish Sahaja Yoga. It is very of things with all their ego. They think high time that we should understand nothing is wrong, what's wrong, that we have to expose ourselves to satisfied, but in the modern times what's wrong. This is one of the Sahaja Yoga much more often than biggest hurdles you have that your otherwise. And, you see the other mind which is ego dictates and you problems are there also, like they have try to do it without even verifying some problems, they are saying what is this, what is that. Mind is Mother there should be some written laws. I said, no. It is through your experience also you can work. For example the other day I said there is under Bhranti, illusion and then you have many ways to understand. Sol have said that in Sahaja Yoga if they want they should get their realization the Laxmi principle. Now let us see 25 2000 May - June The Divine Cool Breeze has. In this Kaliyuga this is one of the blessings, because the job of Kaliyuga is to create doubts, to create illusions "Bhram" (TH). So it will go on creating. But you should stick on how the Laxmi principle goes out. Very simple, very easy if you want to know, it's very simple. Because this Laxmi is very volatile, "chanchal'. Once you give Rs. 100/- to a servant, immediately he will go to the pub and to the truth, then it won't work out. It won't work out. So it is important to drink. The Laxmi is there. As soon understand that all the time we are as he gets Laxmi, he tries to go to the pub and drink. So you can imagine under testing ground. It is a thing just to be witnessed. Its very interesting what is the situation with this Laxmi. to see how this Laxmi works. One should run away from the house of a She is very good but she tempts. She tempts you. So you have to watch. Whatever money you have man, who is only interested in cheating, interested in grabbing and you put in the bank or do whatever you like but just don't spend the telling lies. So this Laxmi does not whole. Just don't do it. Secondly, you stay with him. She goes away. All these things are happening around us. must know also that if all the doors I am not saying this of mine, its all are closed and you get Laxmi from there. one door, she will stay. No doubt, she will stay, if you are miserly she will stay but she will rot because there is no outlet. But if you open the other door, you will be amazed that not only this Laxmi can go out but also can get much more air; much more freedom from out side, because you You see, you have to see clearly the movement of your mind. Where is it going, what is it thinking?. Laxmi is the one, she make you think about something which you should not think. As I told you people will start They drinking, they will go to races. will drink a lot. I mean they will do everything. Why? Because they have money and they spend it somewhere. But they put it into things which have no investment in the real good, in the have opened the other door. With one door, you just experiment, nothing comes in. Open one door, no air will come, nothing will come. But you open the second door then you will find that there is gushing of currents inside. In the same way a person who real achievement and that's how we have now people who are spending so much money, so much on wasteful wants to have money should first learn to spend whatever money he things. So wastefulness can never May-June 2000 26 The Divine Cool Breeze or can you give me some report. They never achieve the goal that is yours go on asking you questions. But why? and the goal that is yours, is the fulfillment of your being,to become the spirit. It is very very subtle to understand. You say I am doing this. What is wrong? What is there? After all if I am doing so many things wrong or something serious, the body should react, No, nothing will react, neither We don't want, we don't want to do that. They are not interested, they are not interested in what you have. This is something one has to learn very favourably and intelligently when people start communicating to you about the business part. In Sahaja your mind nor your body. You see all these years my experience has been very simple. That there are some Sahaja Yogis still involved in the Laxmi principle. Like they want to cheat me, they want to make money out of Sahaja Yoga. Then there are some people who want to do business among themselves. All of them have failed very badly. Failed so badly that they are like bankrupts or they are in jail and all that. So never do business with Sahaja Yogis. For Yoga there is no business among themselves except they have business with self-realization. If you understand this small point, the money part of it which is quite illusive, will disappear. It all works out beautifully if you are surrendered but otherwise also it can be worked out. Even if you are not surrendered because you see the result and you are hurt, you are troubled and so you will give it up. So whatever happens, its our watching system, I should say, one of the Chakras. You can see clearly by Sahaja Yogis it is very important not to do any business with the Sahaja Yogis. If you understand this principle will not do business in Sahaja watching, clearly you can see, how much you have gone into trouble. So you give it up. But before doing that we have a very good way of seeing through our vibrations. You just feel the vibrations and see for yourself. If the vibrations are good? If they are not alright you should know that there is something wrong. You can judge any human being like, you can judge you Yoga. Of course you cannot do business with me also. So this is a very very simple thing which people start doing. For example, there are two Sahaja Yogis one from, say, from. Japan another from, say, America. And they start saying, "oh you are a Sahaja Yogi, I am also a Sahaja Yogi" Can you give me some false papers any pastor or you want to see any one of these millionaires and all those May - June 27 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze vibrations that means you will not things but first you must find out that judge people rightly, nor will you have knowledge properly. So first you must get all your vibrations corrected one is a perfect Sahaja Yogi or not. This happens with the individuals. It can happen in collective also. I have seen in the collective, people are so and also you chakras corrected. After much misled and one negative person that you can see what are your immediately knows who is the other associates? Who are they? See negative, and then, he gets hold of that actually, your mind now is so negative and they start working enlightened that you can straight together. So you have to be extremely forward see everything before you. cautious that you have got your self- But if you don't use that enlightened realization. You got everything, you mind, you will be amazed, there are have got also lot of money in Sahaja some forces of negativity and once Yoga. With all that you should know these forces start, you see, actually we are at a juncture now that these things won't happen anymore. When I started Sahaja Yoga, it was very bad. It was very bad situation and we had half baked, quarter baked, 1/16 baked, people. And I just didn't know, it's a very very good sign for thieves to walk in. So you should be very careful and don't get charmed by all these non-sensical things. That's what is the protection from your Mother, that She wants to protect you in this way. Our whole attitude towards life how to tell them because if I tell them anything, they would just run away. They would not come to Sahaja Yoga. While in the other places like Gurus, what they do, they take money and that's all. People think now we have has to be that of a witness. You see everything clearly. Gradually this scene will become so very sharp, so clear, so understanding that you will be amazed. Then you will be using given money to the Guru, how can we leave? They go on giving money and sticking on. sömething, anything you have. Then you don't have to think, only you have to know the vibrations. What the vibrations are? What do the vibration But in Sahaja Yoga there is no say, because they are there to guide money involved. So they come and you. then disappear. It is common, very, very common that they come for a Those who are not yet very good short time to Sahaja Yoga. But if they are really special people, they just at vibrations should try to establish themselves. If you are not good at May - June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze 28 stick and start seeing everything from the right angle because they are enlightened, they are grown up and they are mature. So this is how we be surprised that we have been given very very important thing to be done. And the most important thing is to be watchful about yourself. That I hope you are not falling into the trap have to come back to this horrible night of Kaliyuga through Diwali. of Laxmi. The same Lxmi that decorates you can also disfigure you. So we have to do everything to keep This is what we have to do, to be humble and to find whether you are alright or not, whether you are going in the right direction or not. It is you only who can decide. With vibrations you can immediately this beautiful Laxmi, this decorated Laxmi as our ideal and it works out. Our aim is this, our ideal is this and we have to do this. So we can know that you are catching or you will know you are right. Whatever decision has to be taken you have to use your hands fully. Its not talking that is going to help, it is not giving lectures that is going to help. It is through experiment, through understanding, through the feeling or the deep, I should say, the deep impact establish the new Government, very beautiful Govt. Our whole attitude should be such that we have to be alert because you become meditative. As soon as you start thinking about something you become meditative. Your thinking will go away. You won't be able to think and then if not meditative you can be lost. When you of everything will communicate to you what sort of people they are, what Why? Because then you have given they are talking about, what you your life in the hands of truth. You should do. It could be little mental but have given your hand into the hand later on it becomes absolutely beyond of reality and that guides you, that the mental activity. are meditative you cannot be lost. protects you around; that watches, Now, as it is, I said that Kaliyuga that watches, that helps you, you can is over, is about to finish. But still never go wrong. Even if you are there may be people who will try to meditative, you don't worry, nothing go back to this kind of normałcy, so will happen to you. But if you are called. But there is a way out for all. never meditative then it is impossible This is simple meditation. With to save. It is impossible to save. It is impossible to mature. You have to be very meditative to mature. That's very meditation you will achieve, whatever is to be achieved and then you will 29 May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze are listening to me please try that you have to meditate afterwards. In meditation you will assimilate and important. I would say that all the Sahaja Yogis here today are doing this Puja and then there will be also the same power that you think is within you, of discrimination, of giving vibrations, of doing all kinds of things out of Sahaja Yoga, will be completely, continuously be acting. But if you do not meditate, if you are somewhere else, it will not work another Puja of enlightenment, I have called. But you have to be very very careful not to denounce your meditative mood. No. What you can do is to watch, how far you have gone? How far you have solved your problems? As soon as you see that immediately you become a complete out. Won't work out. So today is the day to celebrate and to be happy that realized soul. we have so many Sahaja Yogis all So the guideline is such that we over. There is hope for the whole should know that we are realized world and we can save all people who are lost in the wilderness.That's souls. What is so important? Why are we realized souls? Not only for our desires, for our pure desires but perfect. No doubt. But after that celebration and everything we should sit on the asan or anywhere and watch, also for others.

May -June 2000 31 The Divine Cool Breeze GURU NANAK BIRTIHDAY PUJA - 1999 (Noida House) Pravachan by Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi T. oday is the birthday of Shri Guru Nanaka. It is being Shabad-Jalam (confusion), in which most of the people are caught, will come to an end. See the condition of celebrated through-out the world with so much of zeal that I have Sikhs! not seen in India. For the first time it Without looking within and has been advertised in so many papers experiencing the innate energy, how could one follow Sikh religion? Only and by different means. Guru Nanaka always talked of this is the teaching of Guru Nanaka, this is what is called 'Sikh' (learning). All the saints of that age had the Sahaja Yoga. Everything else, he said, is just showing off. About religion he said that observing fasts, going on pilgrimage, etc., are just meant to show off. Now you have to discover discretion to know who is a saint and who is not. All the Gurus incorporated their poems and experiences in Guru the power that is within you and Grantha and that is why Guru Grantha establish it. Guru Nanaka kept on is revered so much. Only the repeating the same thing again and again. He never talked of rituals. But when Guru Teg-Bahadur came, war renowned Gurus contributed to it. They were so spiritual that they did churning of all the religious scriptures and put the substance in Guru with Mohammadan Rulers was being fought. So he prescribed Kada (iron bangle), sword (kripan) to keep them in the state of preparedness. But Guru Nanaka always talked of the spirit. He Grantha. That is what we do in Sahaja Yoga. We do not follow any particular saint explained it very clearly, but no one or incarnation; we respect all of them heeded what he wrote. They will just and strike a balance. But all this was put a finger on the couplet and read it lost in words. People did not go out. Could we understand him this deeper in them. That is why Kabira way? If we go through his writings properly and absorb it, then the whole has written 'even the scholars went on reading and reading like fools, The Divine Cool Breeze May - June 2000 32 without absorbing any thing (f - Huge Gurudwaras were built.

As many as fifty-sixty of them come to the Programme. They effects of alcohol. Any one talking of consciousness could never support wine. On the one side they will consume alcohol, on the other they wear white turbans. I do not know wear turbans, keep swords and what is their speciality, but they combs! Any way they wish to be part follow what Guru Nanak has said. of that clane. This has affected their That is how diversions are created and internal growth. They have taken to people start fighting amongst this kind of situation and as a result themselves. Guru Nanaka said that I have become material beings. On am prophet of Mohammedans and material level they look to everything. Guru of Hindus. Until one is realized one cannot understand this. But it was To transform these people, should not be difficult because we (Sahaja necessary to prepare us for this day. Now it is our duty to work-out what H.rin Yogis) are going by what the Gurus preached. Gurus could not give they said. Things, however, went in opposite direction and many seekers realization to people but we are giving realization. They talked of achieving were lost, no-one knows where! "Sahaja Smadhi', but did not tell how. I was talking about Gyan Deva.. He belongs to Nath cult. He wrote about Kundalini but his disciples call themselves varkaris ( , They take two heavy cymbals (sitn in their hands, wear jute clothes and go to Pandhari Nath, Pandhar Pur. It takes Who will raise the Kundalini? Guru Nanaka gave realisation to only two of his disciples. One Guru giving realisation to only two of his disciples! What could be the effect on the society? So people started worshipping him at external level. them one month to reach there. They May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze 33 travel on foot and thus consider themselves to be very sacrificing. All the way they chew tobacco. These Varkari people have created this cult. They take procession of Gyan Deva on a palanquin. Gyan Deva never have experienced the truth. So you cannot accept the falsehood. Falsehood gets finished in Sahaja Yoga. So many people have got their self-realization in the world. No one could spread falsehood now. Whatever I have told in Sahaja Yoga afforded shoes when he was alive, but people place his slipper, in the palanquin and take the procession from one village to another. Wherever they reach the villagers offer them food and refreshment. It is a new method of beggary. At the birth place of Gyan Deva and places like Pune and Niwase women grow Tulsi in is taped and recorded. No one could change it. People could listen to tapes, but they go on reading books without understanding. This is the reason I told them to have more tapes and get the books printed. Listening to the tapes will definitely have impact on their minds. People take book reading heavy earthen pots, lift it on their heads and walk in procession to as a means of entertainment. What is the use of it? But now Sahaja Yogis Anandi. This I have seen myself. have reached a level from where they People have made lot of money in the name of Gyna Deva. But I do not know what to do to stop it. All his cannot go astray. They will not have to adopt wrong things. That is what we have to learn from Guru Nanaka. purpose has forfeited. One fellow gives big big lecture on Gyan Deva, (3TT ai). But what people are speaks whatever he feels like and doing! However, in Sahaja Yoga such there are people who listen to him things will not happen since I have Guru Nanaka said know thyself? with blind faith! convinced all of them. They cannot Same is the case with Guru Change now. No harm could be done Nanaka. No one knows what he now; what has happened has happened. Reading scriptures and Church Book will have no beneficial effect. To awaken one's energy is the lesson that we have to take from Guru actually said. People have made Chandigarh, Guru Nanaka talked of Chandi. He talked of my incarnation on the earth. He explained every Nanaka. We, Realized beings thing. But no one cares for it. Most understand Sahaja Yoga so deeply that now there is no need to draw any of the prophets and Gurus have been treated like that. Of course you people May June 200D The Divine Coal Breeze 34 other meaning of it. Still there are made of his achievements? These people suggesting rituals. It is all people are misusing Lord Christ, useless. I have never said so, yet Mohammad Sahib and, above all, people are doing what I have never Guru Nanaka because he was the last said. So now when they listen to tapes incarnation. Shirdi Sainath incarnated of my lectures and understand that after him. Sai Nath was against all the Mother has not said it, why should rituals and conditioning because these we do that? But because of old are misleading. After awakening, Sanskara (conditioning) we keep on things change of course. Realized people become knowledgeable.. Without realization it is not possible. observing certain rituals. So long as we do not get rid of So Sai Nath did not organize. We have our conditionings, we shall not understand real Sahaja Yoga. I have not organized too. We have no organization. People automatically made you very special people. You know the real meaning of religion. get organized after awakening, the way different organs of the body are organized. So without any organizationeverything is going on immaculately in Sahaja Yoga. You know every thing, you know about yourself and about others. You could give realisation to people. So now you have become perfect (t). So what is there to go astray now? I bless you all. You have to keep in mind that we have not to pervert what we have achieved. It is most sacrilegious. We don't have to pervert You cannot fall. So today I thought of the pains of Guru Nanaka. How much he it, perversion should not be allowed. tolerated! His wife was not May God Bless You. cooperative at all.

We can see flowers, we can see faces, we can see resurrection of Christ and with that buildings, we can see cities, we can also celebration of your resurrection. see all those things. All these things we see and we feel we are quite aware Christ's resurrection was a great message for us. He won over the death and came out of that dead body which we are not. Actual awareness comes to us when we cross the limit of our mind, go beyond the mind and with another body which was living body. The body was the same but one was the dead body and another was a this was only possible because of the resurrection of Christ. body which was living.. Its not only symbolic. It actually happened with Him. After all He was a Divine child. He resurrected himself because he was a divine person but also we are resurrected because we are blessed by divinity. Now this mind of ours, which is in between, is controlled by Shri Jesus Christ. He controls through He was a Divine person. So, actually it has happened with Him. It is not just a symbolic thing that he died and he resurrected into another person or, you can say, into a living person. For your Agnya, both the sides. He him what is death? For eternal beings controls your conditioning and he there are no deaths. There is no death controls your ego and brings balance for a person who is eternal. He may, in you. But when this Agnya chakra for the time being, look as if he is starts spindling all kinds of ideas, dead but he can never die. Christ was some times reacting, some times like that, very very special incarnation accepting conditioning, it is a slave. which came on this earth to be reborn It is not a free thing because it is out of the dead. Now, we are also, working under the influence of your when we are not yet realized souls, Ego or your Super Ego. For that is when we are not yet enlightened, we the death for our awareness, that we are also dead in the sense, our cannot, we cannot understand 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-4.txt May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze something beyond, that there exists a life. Beyond this we cannot see. This our kith and kin! Then there are children who are killing, parents that are killing. No relationship is there. It is a sign of a person whose awareness is completely dead. In our is we have seen now that we were all in a condition that if one were dead, we were feeling bad, we were feeling anxious, we were fighting and we were thinking that there is something awareness at least we should have feelings of compassion and love. wrong with our present life. There is nothing definitely which makes us But that one is lost. Its not there, we don't have it. The whole world is aflame. When you read about all the wars that are going on, the way they are killing children, the way they are slave, by which we are slavish. That we realised, no doubt, and we started seeking the truth. We started seeking the truth in so many ways. I know, so destroying human beings! It is a many went astray and they lost their balance and have fallen into a wrong attitude. That by the destruction of human beings things complete demise. But so many of you will improve. It is a very very wrong have been salvaged, have been saved by the great example of the Christ's resurrection. He had to venture. He concept that by destroying them one can achieve something. Our work in Sahaja Yoga is doing well, I must say, but it has to stop this had to do it and he worked it out. Without him our agnya would not have been that flexible. As it is, horrible attitude of human beings to destroy. So you might ask that what to do Mother? What to do to stop this human beings in the olden times were conditioned very much and when they have become modern, they are full of Ego nothing in between. With destruction? Answer is in the life of Christ. You resurrect people, these two influences, we are resurrect them, enlighten them, imprisoned. We are absolutely dead bring them to a state where they people. We have no sensitivity for understand what is right and what is wrong. Let them feel, let them feel anything. I have seen now, even today the compassion and love that is within you. When that starts, that 3rd you can see what things are happening across? If people are very anxious to force within us starts acting, our ego kill each other, human beings want to also comes down. Our conditioning kill human beings! Can you inmagine such a stupid thing that we should kill also comes down. For example if we 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-5.txt May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze you are nothing but human beings. All think we are Muslims, we have right these false ideas that we are Hindus, to kill others, if we think we are Jews we are Muslims, we are Christians is we have right to kill others. All these differentiations and this kind of all man created. I mean man can discriminations, that we have, is so create anything. And human beings stupid because you are human beings, have no brains to understand that they are human beings. You are killing these are allI man created. human beings! Not that they have For example, you see, in America committed any sin or they have done anything wrong, except that in their they create associations and big organisations and all based on foolishness they believe that they are absolute falsehood, absolute wrong this and they are that. They are not. ideas, absolute destructiveness, but You are just human beings. In every human being, as you know very well. they form it. They form, they have groups, this, that and they are there is Kundalini. There is no discrimination, every one, whether prospering. But it has a repurcursion, you are a Hindu, Muslim, Jew or Christian, Sikh, Parsi anyone. You they don't know, if you start doing such false things against human beings who are created by God and may call by any name. Now just look at how we accept a certain nobody can destroy them. Then there denomination for ourself. You are are repurcursions. Many many countries who were once upon a time born say to a Christian family, or you are born to a Hindu family, rulers, were known as great things, immediately you start thinking that have come down. you are there to uphold all the flags of that religion in which you are born. You are born in that religion without And all such countries who now think they are very rich and all that will have to come down. All of them have to come down is just an ultimate result of this stupidity to believe that you are higher than others, that you your knowledge, without your permission, understanding. So how can you belong to that religion. You have got Kundalini, everybody has got Kundalini. So you can only belong to the religion of humanity, every human being has got Kundalini. So bugs. While mosquitoes and bugs, without any can kill others. So a non-violent method started which is of another absurdity, I think, because then they start saving mosquitoes and also the 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-6.txt May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze He resurrected himself. So we are also you must know, are the greatest blood in the same position now. I know suckers. They live only on human blood. Such things, what's the use of saving them? So, human beings take to something that is absured, stupid, foolish. I don't knew what is the many a times Sahaja Yoga was challenged. Now its much better. Not so bad. It was challenged and there were so many problems, but now its smoothing down, because that's the truth, that's the reality. That's what is divinity. So you should not be afraid. All these funny ideas about Sahaja Yoga also will die out. It's a resurrection not only of you people but also of our ideologies. Now the ideologies change that our awareness should be enlightened. We should reason. The way they accept things is absolutely unbelievable. I think it is a kind of a slavish mentality which doesn't give them freedom to think what is right, what is wrong. For this we have Christ. We have Christ, a person who was absolutely free, free from all kinds of prejudices, all kinds of temptations, all kinds of nonsense that human beings follow. have light in our awareness. This has come suddenly through Sahaja Yoga But one may say that Mother after all He was divine. He was divine and light then how can you go further to now you are made divine also. So the right path. Its not easy to describe to people, that if you don't have the how can we now join together to make a full effort to tell people that He died so young, and brutely he was what are you doing? Why are you killed. But still he resurrected himself. Christ's life, how went through that, doing it? What is the need to do such things? On one side is, we can say, mass destruction through stupidity, He came out of all that, came out of that ordeal. So for us also when we have problems in Sahaja Yoga, we another side is you own self should know we have a power to destruction. Take to drinking. Take to other self-destructive things which are immoral. That's very easily available and people like it very much and they don't like when you talk that it is destructive. So either we destroy resurrect ourselves. No one can destroy us. No one can finish us off because we have power to resurreet ourselves. This special power that we have to resurrect, you should all the time understand and feel it and others or destroy ourselves. meditate on it. I hear from people Christ was destroyed by others and from every country that the 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-7.txt May - June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze awareness, in our new personality, Government is doing like this, the in our strengthened personality. Government is doing like this or they Meditation is the only way we can are having same trouble or they call you a sect or they call you this and grow and then no one can destroy that. Alright, it does not matter. Your you because you are all protected by duty is to believe that you are the Divine Love. You don't have to following the foot steps of Christ and worry as to who will destroy you. no one can destroy you. This is the What will happen? Of course in the message of Christ's life that Divine beginning there is a little agitation. People feel little bad about it. This is alright. But actually no one can When his body could not be destroy you. Have this faith in you. destroyed then how can you destroy Christ had no organization. He had the Divine Light in Him. So many no Adi Shakti to support him. In no Life cannot be destroyed. Sahaja Yogis are here who have been since long in Sahaja Yoga and they personality he managed to get out of have had problems and they went all the problems, of all the tortures. through lot of troubles, I agree. But of all the atrocities on him. So now all these things have subsided and you have better advantage, because now you are in such a resurrected you are enlightened. Firstly he was a position that after some time, you will Divine Person and he could go be amazed, Sahaja Yoga will take through all that. You don't have to. way but only through his divine No body will torture you, nobody will put you in jail, nobody will crucify you. No body will. That's not possible. But mentally if you are over all over the world. All over the world people will take to Sahaja Yoga and we will have such a lot of Sahaja Yogis all over the world that all these upset, sometimes you get upset I know. In certain countries people get minority of some stupid people will disappear. upset because they think they are oppressed because they are in Sahaja Yoga. I assure you no one can do that. You must know that all the time you For that what have you to do? Sometime people ask me what do we have to do? You must have also read in the bible that Christ prayed and he was praying. In the same way we can say we have to meditate. Through are protected. Christ is there as your eldest brother. I have always said that.

And when they start meditating on those corrections, it you have all the Ganas and all the angels around you. When I see this I just thought look at this. In every country they have shown angels and Ganas are there. Such pure forms of protection you have. So there is works. Societies are improving. You nothing to worry about your see so called religious ideas are destruction or your impediments or falling into their our traps and they what ever you may call it, a kind of a will all fall because thats falsehood. That's not real religion. Religion is within ourselves and this pure destructive force is acting on. From the life of Christ we have to religion is the one which is a global religion.

What a grand destructive nature is the most what a 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-14.txt The Divine Cool Breeze May - June 2000 13 dangerous thing for the Sahaja Yogis.

You should All my love to you all. Great days progress more and more and you are waiting us. We have to now should not retrace back. understand only our responsibility.

You have a very great responsibility and that responsibility is to transform the human beings. we have resurrected? That is the have record, not how many Pujas you That's your due, how may have you transformed? How many have you attended and all that. That's not so important. Pujas are just to give you strength and to give you power. But changed. It is alright for men or they are not your work, that's not your work, for your work you can take from Pujas all the strength that you women. You have to change people. This is your job and this is the power you have got from Christ that you have to change them, transform them need, but if you don't use this power then what's the use? So now I leave it into the new world of happiness and to you to remember that you are resurrected and you have to resurrect others. It's a very very important job at this time of complete turmoil and joy. Which we call as the Sahaja Nirmal Dharama.

Kaliyuga, what has happened with Kaliyuga cannot interfere. Its reigning them is that they have become outside, nothing inside. Its like that extremely ugly. The kind of things that we are now not only free but they are doing in Kaliyuga is whatever we are doing is nothing but unbelievable. Even when they are freedom. preached, they are in the Churchs, this thing, that thing. They become so horribly immoral that you can not anything that can debase us, make us Today we are not attached to lose grip over truth. When such a believe how come that be in the name of God, under the roof of God, But it personality is brought in, then what has started, that is Kaliyuga. And this happens? That all these ideas of Kaliyuga will disappear. But I must say it is the last judgement at the same time. Those who accept the truth and reside in truth and grow Kaliyuga has to be finished. So what do we do to remove the darkness of the night, is to put light. in truth will remain, and all other In the same way people should be 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-23.txt The Divine Cool Breeze May-June 2000 22 will be perished. It is said already. horrible temperament can develop Like you see a garden in which there are some trees, which are nourished that you blame others, never yourself that it is your mistake that you hit yourself. It was you who did wrong and that's what it is. well, which get lot of water and love and which give also so much to people. They exist. The others are burnt down and finished. In the same way we have to first accept the love, take the love, nourish yourself with that love and then you give to others. This is a simple way you can This is what we call the illusion, the Bhram'. And this illusion has to go away. For Kaliyuga it is said it is the Era of illusions and this illusion, if you fall into it you are finished. But if you see the illusions then you try overcome the Kaliyga's curses. Kaliyuga is so much full of darkness to seek the truth. That's why today that we start hitting each other. For the seeking is very strong because example you are all sitting here. they can feel it is an illusion. It is not Suddenly it becomes dark, you don't the truth they know and once they know how to move, whether you are know it is not the truth, what do they hitting others or not, with whom are SO do? They want to know what is the you sitting, nothing. It's the same. truth, where is the truth? And they try with the darkness in the heart, to find it. That's how also in this Kaliyuga the seeking has started. darkness in the mind, you don't know where are you, what are you doing and what you should be doing? Just The story about Kaliyuga is also told in another Puranas, Damayanti Purana. Where Damayanti, the wife of Nala was separated from him like going amuck you go on hitting each other. This is what is Kaliyuga and the one who recognises it and gets out of it is the Sahaja Yogi. Otherwise they are just like other people, if you are still in the same perifery, in the same circles of because of the same illusions created by Kali. So one day it happened that Nala got hold of this horrible Kali and he said that now I am going to strangle you and finish you up. So Kali said, you can do it, but first listen to my importance, my Mahatmaya, what imbalance. Now another thing in Kaliyuga is this that even if you are hit, even if importance I have, why I am here? you are destroyed, they just don't blame themselves. Thus another you listen to me I will tell you. When So he waited. He said now agree, if 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-24.txt May-June 2000 23 The Divine Cool Breeze I will come and I will rule the world, that's the Diwali. If the people are means when there will be Kaliyuga, enlightened that's the Diwali. That people will get into Bhranti, mean they remove all the darkness of illusions. They will not know whether Kaliyuga and you all enjoy the beauty this is truth or not and they will then and joy of Kaliyuga. Its very very try to seek the truth. But not only the symbolic, I should say, that Diwali people those who go to jungles and has already started. We have many those who renounce every thing, but lights and we have to get more lights. there will be another type, the same Not because it is short of light. Why people who are doing this kind of are we taking more lights? Why do seeking will, in the Kaliyuga, take we want? Because all must be saved. birth and will be normal house Our effort is to save everyone of them. holders and they will get into these It is difficult, very difficult. illusions. At that time when they will But you can see now, how like into this illusions then only they seeds, realize souls go and plant themselves in very far-fetched places get will start seeking, realising that it is untruth and they will seek the truth at and there they prosper, become very beautiful trees, fragrant and which are that time. At that time only they will get their self-realization. He told it giving shade to others. That's why you see people from all sorts of places are being awakened and they become very clearly, thousands of years back. So Kaliyuga is the time where people can get their self-realization. They will know their self. They will know the truth. This is said long time back realized souls and they awaken others. Its all the process. It's so well built in Itlooks like that and it is working and you can see now itself. So this was the time meant for that because out well. The only thing which is if you are alright like in Satyayuga doubtful is that how many will come and all that, so you don't seek. You to Sahaja Yoga and how many we just accept, you are obedient, you are can salvage and save? This is the good people. But in Kaliyuga you only problem and for that you really start seeking the absolute truth should be prepared that every one and that is why these lights depict that of you should decide that I am going character or you can say that soul to save atleast one soul every day. which are being enlightened. So you One person every day. Supposing we are all enlightened souls. For me have some people who are getting drowned in a river or in a sea. What 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-25.txt May- June 2000 24 The Divine Cool Breeze and also they can go about anywhere they feel like, specially on the day they get realization. It has worked wonders because that day you are in a stronger mood and you avoid all do you do? You all rush together to save. You go all out to save their lives. In the same way we have to understand that we have to save the lives of all the people and for that we have to work very hard. wrong things. Now so mnany of you have grown up in Sahaja Yoga and are transformed completely. So, very Now in this rising from illusion to truth also we have certain problems which must be faced in a proper way. happy to see that. I have not done much, I don't think. I have just One of the problems that arises out enlightened in a way that is very far of this is the hunger. Hunger could fetched. But I don't do anything, be for money, could be for food, without doing anything if you get could be for anything. Now if there enlightened and say, you have done is a hunger for money it is going to it. I cannot believe it. How can that settle you permanently. Because it is be. I did not do anything, just you got never satiable. It can never be your realisation. But now when I see s and I reflect and find how beautifully people are just going mad, really mad. you people sing, how beautifully you They do not care whether others have have become sweet and how it or not, others have this convenience beautifully you have become friendly or not but just like to show off. They to each other, I am convinced and feel want to show off. They are very rich, that it won't take much time for you they are very good and do all kinds to establish Sahaja Yoga. It is very of things with all their ego. They think high time that we should understand nothing is wrong, what's wrong, that we have to expose ourselves to satisfied, but in the modern times what's wrong. This is one of the Sahaja Yoga much more often than biggest hurdles you have that your otherwise. And, you see the other mind which is ego dictates and you problems are there also, like they have try to do it without even verifying some problems, they are saying what is this, what is that. Mind is Mother there should be some written laws. I said, no. It is through your experience also you can work. For example the other day I said there is under Bhranti, illusion and then you have many ways to understand. Sol have said that in Sahaja Yoga if they want they should get their realization the Laxmi principle. Now let us see 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-26.txt 25 2000 May - June The Divine Cool Breeze has. In this Kaliyuga this is one of the blessings, because the job of Kaliyuga is to create doubts, to create illusions "Bhram" (TH). So it will go on creating. But you should stick on how the Laxmi principle goes out. Very simple, very easy if you want to know, it's very simple. Because this Laxmi is very volatile, "chanchal'. Once you give Rs. 100/- to a servant, immediately he will go to the pub and to the truth, then it won't work out. It won't work out. So it is important to drink. The Laxmi is there. As soon understand that all the time we are as he gets Laxmi, he tries to go to the pub and drink. So you can imagine under testing ground. It is a thing just to be witnessed. Its very interesting what is the situation with this Laxmi. to see how this Laxmi works. One should run away from the house of a She is very good but she tempts. She tempts you. So you have to watch. Whatever money you have man, who is only interested in cheating, interested in grabbing and you put in the bank or do whatever you like but just don't spend the telling lies. So this Laxmi does not whole. Just don't do it. Secondly, you stay with him. She goes away. All these things are happening around us. must know also that if all the doors I am not saying this of mine, its all are closed and you get Laxmi from there. one door, she will stay. No doubt, she will stay, if you are miserly she will stay but she will rot because there is no outlet. But if you open the other door, you will be amazed that not only this Laxmi can go out but also can get much more air; much more freedom from out side, because you You see, you have to see clearly the movement of your mind. Where is it going, what is it thinking?. Laxmi is the one, she make you think about something which you should not think. As I told you people will start They drinking, they will go to races. will drink a lot. I mean they will do everything. Why? Because they have money and they spend it somewhere. But they put it into things which have no investment in the real good, in the have opened the other door. With one door, you just experiment, nothing comes in. Open one door, no air will come, nothing will come. But you open the second door then you will find that there is gushing of currents inside. In the same way a person who real achievement and that's how we have now people who are spending so much money, so much on wasteful wants to have money should first learn to spend whatever money he things. So wastefulness can never 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-27.txt May-June 2000 26 The Divine Cool Breeze or can you give me some report. They never achieve the goal that is yours go on asking you questions. But why? and the goal that is yours, is the fulfillment of your being,to become the spirit. It is very very subtle to understand. You say I am doing this. What is wrong? What is there? After all if I am doing so many things wrong or something serious, the body should react, No, nothing will react, neither We don't want, we don't want to do that. They are not interested, they are not interested in what you have. This is something one has to learn very favourably and intelligently when people start communicating to you about the business part. In Sahaja your mind nor your body. You see all these years my experience has been very simple. That there are some Sahaja Yogis still involved in the Laxmi principle. Like they want to cheat me, they want to make money out of Sahaja Yoga. Then there are some people who want to do business among themselves. All of them have failed very badly. Failed so badly that they are like bankrupts or they are in jail and all that. So never do business with Sahaja Yogis. For Yoga there is no business among themselves except they have business with self-realization. If you understand this small point, the money part of it which is quite illusive, will disappear. It all works out beautifully if you are surrendered but otherwise also it can be worked out. Even if you are not surrendered because you see the result and you are hurt, you are troubled and so you will give it up. So whatever happens, its our watching system, I should say, one of the Chakras. You can see clearly by Sahaja Yogis it is very important not to do any business with the Sahaja Yogis. If you understand this principle will not do business in Sahaja watching, clearly you can see, how much you have gone into trouble. So you give it up. But before doing that we have a very good way of seeing through our vibrations. You just feel the vibrations and see for yourself. If the vibrations are good? If they are not alright you should know that there is something wrong. You can judge any human being like, you can judge you Yoga. Of course you cannot do business with me also. So this is a very very simple thing which people start doing. For example, there are two Sahaja Yogis one from, say, from. Japan another from, say, America. And they start saying, "oh you are a Sahaja Yogi, I am also a Sahaja Yogi" Can you give me some false papers any pastor or you want to see any one of these millionaires and all those 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-28.txt May - June 27 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze vibrations that means you will not things but first you must find out that judge people rightly, nor will you have knowledge properly. So first you must get all your vibrations corrected one is a perfect Sahaja Yogi or not. This happens with the individuals. It can happen in collective also. I have seen in the collective, people are so and also you chakras corrected. After much misled and one negative person that you can see what are your immediately knows who is the other associates? Who are they? See negative, and then, he gets hold of that actually, your mind now is so negative and they start working enlightened that you can straight together. So you have to be extremely forward see everything before you. cautious that you have got your self- But if you don't use that enlightened realization. You got everything, you mind, you will be amazed, there are have got also lot of money in Sahaja some forces of negativity and once Yoga. With all that you should know these forces start, you see, actually we are at a juncture now that these things won't happen anymore. When I started Sahaja Yoga, it was very bad. It was very bad situation and we had half baked, quarter baked, 1/16 baked, people. And I just didn't know, it's a very very good sign for thieves to walk in. So you should be very careful and don't get charmed by all these non-sensical things. That's what is the protection from your Mother, that She wants to protect you in this way. Our whole attitude towards life how to tell them because if I tell them anything, they would just run away. They would not come to Sahaja Yoga. While in the other places like Gurus, what they do, they take money and that's all. People think now we have has to be that of a witness. You see everything clearly. Gradually this scene will become so very sharp, so clear, so understanding that you will be amazed. Then you will be using given money to the Guru, how can we leave? They go on giving money and sticking on. sömething, anything you have. Then you don't have to think, only you have to know the vibrations. What the vibrations are? What do the vibration But in Sahaja Yoga there is no say, because they are there to guide money involved. So they come and you. then disappear. It is common, very, very common that they come for a Those who are not yet very good short time to Sahaja Yoga. But if they are really special people, they just at vibrations should try to establish themselves. If you are not good at 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-29.txt May - June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze 28 stick and start seeing everything from the right angle because they are enlightened, they are grown up and they are mature. So this is how we be surprised that we have been given very very important thing to be done. And the most important thing is to be watchful about yourself. That I hope you are not falling into the trap have to come back to this horrible night of Kaliyuga through Diwali. of Laxmi. The same Lxmi that decorates you can also disfigure you. So we have to do everything to keep This is what we have to do, to be humble and to find whether you are alright or not, whether you are going in the right direction or not. It is you only who can decide. With vibrations you can immediately this beautiful Laxmi, this decorated Laxmi as our ideal and it works out. Our aim is this, our ideal is this and we have to do this. So we can know that you are catching or you will know you are right. Whatever decision has to be taken you have to use your hands fully. Its not talking that is going to help, it is not giving lectures that is going to help. It is through experiment, through understanding, through the feeling or the deep, I should say, the deep impact establish the new Government, very beautiful Govt. Our whole attitude should be such that we have to be alert because you become meditative. As soon as you start thinking about something you become meditative. Your thinking will go away. You won't be able to think and then if not meditative you can be lost. When you of everything will communicate to you what sort of people they are, what Why? Because then you have given they are talking about, what you your life in the hands of truth. You should do. It could be little mental but have given your hand into the hand later on it becomes absolutely beyond of reality and that guides you, that the mental activity. are meditative you cannot be lost. protects you around; that watches, Now, as it is, I said that Kaliyuga that watches, that helps you, you can is over, is about to finish. But still never go wrong. Even if you are there may be people who will try to meditative, you don't worry, nothing go back to this kind of normałcy, so will happen to you. But if you are called. But there is a way out for all. never meditative then it is impossible This is simple meditation. With to save. It is impossible to save. It is impossible to mature. You have to be very meditative to mature. That's very meditation you will achieve, whatever is to be achieved and then you will 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-30.txt 29 May-June 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze are listening to me please try that you have to meditate afterwards. In meditation you will assimilate and important. I would say that all the Sahaja Yogis here today are doing this Puja and then there will be also the same power that you think is within you, of discrimination, of giving vibrations, of doing all kinds of things out of Sahaja Yoga, will be completely, continuously be acting. But if you do not meditate, if you are somewhere else, it will not work another Puja of enlightenment, I have called. But you have to be very very careful not to denounce your meditative mood. No. What you can do is to watch, how far you have gone? How far you have solved your problems? As soon as you see that immediately you become a complete out. Won't work out. So today is the day to celebrate and to be happy that realized soul. we have so many Sahaja Yogis all So the guideline is such that we over. There is hope for the whole should know that we are realized world and we can save all people who are lost in the wilderness.That's souls. What is so important? Why are we realized souls? Not only for our desires, for our pure desires but perfect. No doubt. But after that celebration and everything we should sit on the asan or anywhere and watch, also for others. And in that understanding that we are not only what is happening and you will be for ourselves but for others, you amazed that in meditation all the become collectively conscious and you start helping others. You stand beauties you have achieved will be very well, otherwise are lost and the revealed to you. All kinds of things others are also lost. This is the way that you have achieved. And all the we have to really go ahead; go ahead botherations and worries of things towards the truth and bring that truth will disappear. This should happen to you all and this is what I request you for other people and save them. This is how you can express your love to all to have this special capacity to understand yourself. My own hope is fulfilled. To see you sitting down here Ifeel over joyed and same way you will also feel when you all will try to them, all your caring. . It is a subject, which is very difficult to handle, I think, because, I should say, to talk about this subject is much easier than to assimilate this raise the Kundalini of others. Establish them in Sahaja Yoga. You will be amazed, what will happen to within ourselves. So now when you 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-31.txt May June 2000 30 The Divine Cool Breeze realization to people and look after the Nabhi of the people. Whatever it you. Its so joyous to give realization to others. For that you don't have to is, it is very very important to understand how far you can go. We have to change the world. We have do anything.. You don't have to pay anything. Nothing of the kind. This power you have; which is awakened, to save the world. Its your that's all. Wherever you go what you have to do is to just awaken the responsibility. You have got Kundalini of the person and give realization, not the others. So don't realization. Nothing is to be done. try to find faults with others. Think And that's so joy giving. You feel so about you that you have got realization and it is expected that happy about it. you should spread Sahaja Yoga. Thank you very much. So today I bless you all with this special power that you give May God Bless you. 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-32.txt May -June 2000 31 The Divine Cool Breeze GURU NANAK BIRTIHDAY PUJA - 1999 (Noida House) Pravachan by Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi T. oday is the birthday of Shri Guru Nanaka.

See the condition of celebrated through-out the world with so much of zeal that I have Sikhs! not seen in India. For the first time it Without looking within and has been advertised in so many papers experiencing the innate energy, how could one follow Sikh religion? Only and by different means. Guru Nanaka always talked of this is the teaching of Guru Nanaka, this is what is called 'Sikh' (learning). All the saints of that age had the Sahaja Yoga. Everything else, he said, is just showing off. About religion he said that observing fasts, going on pilgrimage, etc., are just meant to show off. Now you have to discover discretion to know who is a saint and who is not. All the Gurus incorporated their poems and experiences in Guru the power that is within you and Grantha and that is why Guru Grantha establish it. Guru Nanaka kept on is revered so much. Only the repeating the same thing again and again. He never talked of rituals. But when Guru Teg-Bahadur came, war renowned Gurus contributed to it. They were so spiritual that they did churning of all the religious scriptures and put the substance in Guru with Mohammadan Rulers was being fought. So he prescribed Kada (iron bangle), sword (kripan) to keep them in the state of preparedness. But Guru Nanaka always talked of the spirit. He Grantha. That is what we do in Sahaja Yoga. We do not follow any particular saint explained it very clearly, but no one or incarnation; we respect all of them heeded what he wrote. They will just and strike a balance. But all this was put a finger on the couplet and read it lost in words. People did not go out. Could we understand him this deeper in them. That is why Kabira way?

These Varkari people have created this cult. They take procession of Gyan Deva on a palanquin. Gyan Deva never have experienced the truth. So you cannot accept the falsehood. Falsehood gets finished in Sahaja Yoga. So many people have got their self-realization in the world. No one could spread falsehood now. Whatever I have told in Sahaja Yoga afforded shoes when he was alive, but people place his slipper, in the palanquin and take the procession from one village to another. Wherever they reach the villagers offer them food and refreshment. It is a new method of beggary. At the birth place of Gyan Deva and places like Pune and Niwase women grow Tulsi in is taped and recorded. No one could change it. People could listen to tapes, but they go on reading books without understanding. This is the reason I told them to have more tapes and get the books printed. Listening to the tapes will definitely have impact on their minds. People take book reading heavy earthen pots, lift it on their heads and walk in procession to as a means of entertainment. What is the use of it? But now Sahaja Yogis Anandi. This I have seen myself. have reached a level from where they People have made lot of money in the name of Gyna Deva.

They cannot Same is the case with Guru Change now. No harm could be done Nanaka. No one knows what he now; what has happened has happened. Reading scriptures and Church Book will have no beneficial effect. To awaken one's energy is the lesson that we have to take from Guru actually said. People have made Chandigarh, Guru Nanaka talked of Chandi. He talked of my incarnation on the earth. He explained every Nanaka. We, Realized beings thing. But no one cares for it. Most understand Sahaja Yoga so deeply that now there is no need to draw any of the prophets and Gurus have been treated like that. Of course you people 2000_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-35.txt May June 200D The Divine Coal Breeze 34 other meaning of it. Still there are made of his achievements? These people suggesting rituals. It is all people are misusing Lord Christ, useless. I have never said so, yet Mohammad Sahib and, above all, people are doing what I have never Guru Nanaka because he was the last said. So now when they listen to tapes incarnation. Shirdi Sainath incarnated of my lectures and understand that after him. Sai Nath was against all the Mother has not said it, why should rituals and conditioning because these we do that? But because of old are misleading. After awakening, Sanskara (conditioning) we keep on things change of course. Realized people become knowledgeable.. Without realization it is not possible. observing certain rituals. So long as we do not get rid of So Sai Nath did not organize. We have our conditionings, we shall not understand real Sahaja Yoga. I have not organized too. We have no organization. People automatically made you very special people. You know the real meaning of religion. get organized after awakening, the way different organs of the body are organized. So without any organizationeverything is going on immaculately in Sahaja Yoga. You know every thing, you know about yourself and about others. You could give realisation to people. So now you have become perfect (t). So what is there to go astray now? I bless you all. You have to keep in mind that we have not to pervert what we have achieved. It is most sacrilegious. We don't have to pervert You cannot fall. So today I thought of the pains of Guru Nanaka. How much he it, perversion should not be allowed. tolerated!
