I can't imagine how much they must have worked hard in such a place to create all our ideas on the principle that human beings can't love each other. They are always trying to overpower others or to hate others or to grab such a beautiful area, such a peaceful place. How in Sahaja Yoga people things from others. Such a wrong work together with tremendous we had all these days and thats why respect and love for each other and all the organisations that were created produce something that is to obstruct it also got contaminated unbelievable. This was just a with it. The only way one can really wilderness and you have brought so understand what we are is by knowing much of life and light in this place. yourself. When you know yourself You wanted to celebrate my birthday. you are surprised that the greatest I don't know what is so significant thing for you is to love and to be loved. You enjoy that collective love so much when you have absolutely overcome your baser self. In Sahaja Yoga it is so simple; it works in a very idea about it? But the way you have really shown your understanding and respect, I am just enamoured. I can't understand what have I done for you that you should do so much for simple manner. It is very Sahaja but to grow into it is very important and I am so very happy to see so many of you from all over the world, from Sahaja Yoga? As it is, today is also a very auspicious day which we call as the Holi. We play Holi on this day and show our love and oneness Delhi and also from all over India, enjoying that love among yourself and understanding among yourself. among ourselves.

But today really I must say it shows what we are capable of doing. We human beings, are very selfish, self-centered and only worried about ourselves. That is what is said but it is surprising that with self-realisation, with self now that these beautiful patterns are showing in your own life, in your life style, in your behavior. There is a very knowledge, with knowing yourself, special type of human race sitting you understand how rich you are before me. I am so much thankful to within, how great you are within, and you, absolutely, that you should take how capable you are! This to this knowledge of yourself and understanding comes to you and then enjoy it with others. It is something that is expressed in such a beautiful remarkable that you know about yourself, that only human beings can manner. Sahaja Yoga took time to grow do. There can be a diamond, very slowly, slowly and that you all are expensive, but it does not know its slowly and slowly grown ups. But value. There could be some dog or today, I must say that, it has reached some animal which must be such a height that it is difficult for something, but it does not know what people to get out of it. When you know yourself, when you know what beings till they get their self- is reality and what is absolute trüth, realisation and after realisation they you just get dissolved into that suddenly become aware of what they knowledge. Of course you are not it is. Samething happens with human are. And then suddenly they become very humble. They become very loving.

Now my experience of 77 years, I must really congratulate Delhi people for coming up so well with this beautiful arrangement and this beautiful Pandal and all the beautiful as you can say, has been really chequered with all kinds of incidents, all kinds of people, all kinds of incidents and its a good vision to see arrangement they have made outside, before your eyes that despite all that, for your stay. I mean really its something, I have done nothing for it. Nothing, I should say. How these people have worked together! There have been no quarrels, fighting, back biting, nothing like that. Its very surprising that such a beautiful thing has been created by them! It shows their maturity in Sahaja Yoga. I must congratulate them again and again for doing this great work in such a short so many beautiful lotuses have come out. They are so fragrant, so beautiful, so colourful, so attractive. All this is because we have an innate value system. Because we have inborn with- in us a great sense of love and compassion. This compassion has to be really understood, and enjoyed and we have to jump in the ocean of compassion. So beautiful, and you will be amazed to see that automatically you will swim, time. automatically you will meet other people also in the same ocean, May God Bless You.

You can see the have seen that after Sahaja Yoga all way we have got these felicitations from all these people, all because they approach these people, told them all about Sahaja Yoga, they might have given them self realisation. And that's how they have worked it out. those who have been transformed into new visions and new ideas always know what's wTong in their own country and so conscious of it. I am surprised that everyone of them have been able to tell me what's wrong in So we have to worry about our own their country and what should be country and its problems. Why these problems are there? And I know your wishes and your efforts will definitely improve the conditions of your own country. Its happening everywhere, also should happen in India. Once we done.

Now if you can tell them important duty to, first of all, look that you can be transformed, after our own societies, look after our transformed into a being which is own country. If you cannot do that, absolutely above all these worries, what's the use of getting self- above all these problems. How can realization? Because self-realisation that be? One can ask. Actually what stands on one's power, the power of happens that when you get self- love and one's art, art-of selfless love. realization, your attention gets That is there, immediately you start - enlightened by the self, means the spirit and automatically you start dropping your destructive habits, destructive thoughts and destructive seeing the people who are surrounding you, who are in your village, who are also in the neighbour- hood, or also who are in your city and in your country. Immediately you start understanding what is the problem in activities. You suddenly become so constructive. Now I tell you one thing. I was amazed when I was in Talyati your own society. I have seen, after in Russia, a news came to me that the coming to Sahaja Yoga people have head of the mafia has become Sahaja tried to improve so many things in Yogi. I was so touched by it and he their own society. Now we have many came to me and said I was doing all Hindus, many Muslims, many nonsensical things. I never got any Christians, all kinds of people, but I satisfaction, no joy, but this is was amazed at one thing. Once they something. I really can feel joy and got realization they never identify satisfaction within myself. Mother with the wrong things of their society, whatever was my past, will you of their religions. On the contrary they forgive me? I said, "Forgiven." wanted to improve it and work it out. What is important is the present and now you have become a Sahaja Yogi. It is such a credit to your spiritual There is very simple way of doing it. You don't have to go out of the way to change people or to make any growth, the way you have achieved. sacrifices, nothing of the kind. He said, "Now I have that peace, I Everybody today is suffering from have the joy and I want to share it with some sort of anxiety, some sort of others. I could never share my money problems, some sort of worries. Also with others. I used to grab money they are suffering from other from others. I said I don't want to

 July-Aug 2000 22 The Divine Cool Breeze country? Everything you see very clearly and you also have power to correct it. If you are aware of your power and if you have mastered it then you can do it. You can do it not only for yourself but for your family, for your society for everyone. My husband used to say you are a socialist because you can't adjust yourself have any confessions, finished. Now as you have become a 'Sahaja Yogi' what will you do? Surprisingly, he was very sweet. He said I will send some onions to India. I said 'Why?" He said, 'because there is problem about onions.' I thought, look at this man, "how genuine he has become, how humane! I said there is no such problem, you don't worry, and then alone. You must share with others, you see his way of looking at things and working out things was so you are so collective. But we have to understand that we are collective. We can't exist alone anywhere, we are all tremendous that the same fellow who was a big mafia leader has become such a great, honourable person. Then collective. We are not aware of it. But when you are aware of it, are you so surprised that you are part and he wanted to be elected in some municipal election. I said "Go ahead", parcel of the whole. You don't have you will be elected and if you are not elected, does not matter. But he gọt to look for company in your own society, in your own samaj. Nothing. elected also. What you want is just to have the So you see how things work out for a company of all the Sahaja Yogis and person who wants to be the spirit. this has been proved beyond doubt that if you are spiritually awakened, Shivaji has said" स्वधर्म जागवावा" this is the only message he gave for the you have no quarrels with others, no future. Svadharm Jagwawa, 'Sva' hatred, no competition. I have not seen anybody doing that in Sahaja spirit. That is what we have to Yoga. And that is how things have achieve. Because he himself was a become so much better for all of you together and also outside. One of the means the spirit. You awaken your realized soul, so he said, this is what you have to do, to make your spirit awaken. Now with that light of the spirit what happens? You just see clearly, very clearly, you say what's wrong with you? What's wrong with your society? What's wrong with your ambassadors, she told me, that Mother we are very happy because we are not competitive. I said, why? So everybody is happy with us. This is what it is, that you realize that you don't have to worry about getting

 July-Aug 2000 23 The Divine Cool Breeze a drug de-addiction organization. And that's why Sahaja Yogis said that we something higher position, getting something very rich, in say properties, No. Because the satisfaction part is have one million dollars. Can we do with that. They said, No No we wilI within you, you are so satisfied within give you 21 million dollars. What will you do with 21 million dollars, I said, If you want to do something for drug addiction? You only need them to come there. Overnight they will give up their drugs. I have seen that and there are some sitting here. Such a power your spirit has. Such a beauty it has and such love and peace it has. yourself that you don't run after things, like in Economics. Modern economics, as it is, is based on one simple factor that human beings are never satisfied. Today they want something, they will run for it, do all sorts of things, spend money and get it. Then they are not satisfied. They want to have something else. This is the basis of economics, I mean Only it is to be brought into your attention which is going hither, thither-thither. Only if your attention is enlightened by the spirit you modern economics. But Sahaja Yoga is different, Sahaja Yoga economics is that I have got realization, alright, become such a wonderful person. All I must share with others. If I have these things as they had described in Sanskrit, Kam, Krodh, Mada, Lobh, got the satisfaction I must share it with others. Moha, all of them drop by The sharing part is so important in themselves. All the anger, all the Sahaja Yoga and people are doing stupid things we do, and all the with such beauty. As I told you the aggressive things we do, drop out. I other day, we have to learn the art of have asked some Sahaja Yogis to go loving. Its very simple if you know to Kashmir and make them Sahaja how to say few sweet things, how to Yogis. If you can make them Sahaja Yogis this problem will be over. And with others very sweetly. It is not there are some willing to go there. difficult for you at all because you Some foreign Sahaja Yogis specially give something sweetly, how to share have got your spirit to give you the joy. I know Sahaja Yoga has done wonders. People have given up drugs over night. Now in America they have a proposal for us that we should start have offered their services to go and change the people's lives. Now we have changed people, like we have now in a place called Benin, there are 7000 Muslims who were very

 July- Aug 2000 24 The Divine Cool Breeze but Sahaja Yogis, none of them, were fundamentalists, they all have become Sahaja Yogis. In Turkey we have already 2000 Sahaja Yogis. So even fanaticism of any kind among Hindus, among Muslims, among Christians can be easily changed because they will see the beauty of their spirit and their religion itself will get enlightened. They will see the beauty of their religion. They will see the oneness of their religion and like that a global religion can be accepted where all religions will be understood properly. There have been deviation in every religion and that's why there touched. Even their houses were completely alright while the rest were all destroyed. So many places, it has happened. We had a hurricane, there the same thing. All of them are sending me reports that Mother all the Sahaja Yogis are saved. How they are perfectly alright? Because you are protected by the divine power. We have to believe in the divine power which all the religions have believed Then the problem comes whether you should believe in the form or formless? Then you will realize that with the formless only you can are problems. understand the form. Very simple thing it is to look at, but it is really Can you fight in the name of religion, when there is only one God? extremely surprising. For example once I said that They do because they are ignorant; I don't blame them, because they have no light. But once they have the light, they will understand what is the global nature of religion. Now you will be surprised that Sahaja Yoga or we can call the Vishwa Nirmala Dharma has Mecca is Meccashwara Shiva, written down in our scriptures. But I didn't know that I just said it. Now I read an article that they were all worshippers of Shiva and this is really surprising that Mohammad Sahib never talked about been accepted in Russia as a religious identity. But it is not religion like other religions are. It is not at all of any religion. Nobody has read even that, we can say the Koran. Nobody has read. We have a very good book that kind. Its a religion where we written on Koran, which of course I believe only in love and compassion guided, and it so clearly says what and also in our own power that nobody can touch you. Nobody can kill you. You will be amazed that there was such a big earthquake in Turkey Mohammad Sahib has said. I mean also this brings discredit to people. Christ never said things which Christians are saying. Same with the

 July-Aug 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze 25 Hindus, they are doing things which are never written in any Shastra. It is very surprising that these people, who are incharge of religion, they are the ones who are spoiling the image of religions and creating this problem. I don't know why they want to do it? quarrel about it. But if you are not a realized soul, how can you say which place is Swayambhu and which isn't? So the whole problem is solved but first you must have the knowledge, knowledge of vibrations. Now if you ask me a very serious question that What is the use? we are having in our country, which I Now regarding Sakara and Nirakar it have right to tell you about, is about is very simple to be understood. After Shri Rama's Mandir. Was Rama born getting realization you can feel the there or not? He was. You can feel it spund (P) or you can call it vibratory on your hands. You can feel it. All of awareness is there. With that you can you can feel it. He was born there. feel what is truth what is not. I would No doubt. For that what is there to say that there is no truth in fight? Whether its a masjid or worshipping a statue which is anything Shri Rama was born there. created by a drunkard or a person Vibrations are there, whatever it is. who is using it for money. But even But to glorify him you must have a in the Bible it is said that whatever temple, doesn't matter. Whether you created by the sky or by the mother- have masjid or a temple is the same earth should not be disrespected. and if you want to have a temple you This is what we call as the must do it after realization not before Swayambhus. But Swayambhus for that, and also you should put there people who are not realized souls is only realized soul who will be just a sort of a ritual, a Karmakand. incharge of the Puja. Then only you They don't understand whether it is a will do real credit to that great soul Swayambhu or not. You being a of Shri Rama. All of them here, from Sahaja Yogi can go and see whatever country they come, they Swayambhus and accept it. I know, know Shri Rama. Not only that, but at Tukarama's place, you were they know where he is within us and jumping and enjoying because you they know how to worship Him. They could feel the Chaitanya, you could also know about Mohammed Saheb, feel the vibrations. So first you should they also know about Jesus Christ. know about Nirakar and then you can They know the truth about them. Within their own body, within find out about Sakara. There is no

 July-Aug 2000 26 The Divine Cool Breeze themselves. Once that is the whatever I know, is mostly from our knowledge, the true knowledge, the shastras. It is not the ritualism. It is absolute knowledge then what is the the deeper knowledge. All saints, quarrel about? Everybody will feel whether you take Kabir, whether you the same way. What will you quarrel take Nanaka, or Mohammed Saheb for. If I say my country India is a Yogabhumi, alright, you ask all of Yourself Within'. Why did they say them whether they came from this so, why did they say so because inside country or that country, also will say is the truth, absolute truth, and with the same thing. So when they come that absolute truth all these stupid from abroad, they bow to this country, stupid things will drop off and you while you Indians may not. Because become an affectionate personality. they know this is Yogabhumi and the As it is, the time has come for the Kundalini of the whole universe is whole world to change and transform, inside this Yogabhumi. So all these you know that. I now request you all great things about our country are to to do lot of work for me. I have done be understood through the vibrations that was possible for me to work it which Adi Shankaracharya called as out and it has worked, no doubt. But Spunda. Actually most of their poetry you all can do it and change first of could not, because they were so all your own society, change your closed, could not explain to normai people what it was. But I think, if you globally. You can go. You can help go deep into these matters and each other. For example some people anyone, all of them have said, 'Seek own countrymen, change also, then, understand absolute knowledge can come to India and help here and through your spunda, through your from India some could go and help vibrations, you will know what is the there. So now you are well equipped truth. What's the use of fighting for with that knowledge. You should falsehood? Its like fighting the come and work it out. I must thank darkness. Why not have light and see people from Australia who went to for yourself? Orissa. They have formed nine centres of Sahaja Yoga. This is happening and you know, you could do it. You are quite capable of giving realization to people. I request all of you to try this gift, that you have, to Today I have taken some liberty with you, Sir, because I wanted to tell you that in this country of ours we have the greatest knowledge about the spirit.

So this one doesn't realise also, as you don't realise that triggering, which is the most difficult thing, has happened to you, It is difficult, but it has happened to you. Know why it has seriously, as we should, our realisation does not grow. Moreover, we are surrounded by people who have not felt the vibrations. They don't know this area, they have never seen it. As Guru Nanaka has called it, it is HE, They have not seen it, they don't know about it, they don't know that there is a power of God that exists, which understands, coordinates, cooperates with you, happened. You take that one for which is working in the collective granted and also you take the devils for granted. At least don't take the being, which makes you aware of that

Then we don't in the realm of Divine Love. I say it change our old habits at all. We go is Divine Love. You cann't on sticking to these old habits. Our structure of life, our styles of thinking, understand what is Divine Love. You cann't understand any human being continue to be the same. Again we who loves you only for love's sake, find ourselves lost into the same just because that person loves you. He shambles. goes on loving because he enjoys that loving. In संस्कृत it is called अव्याज, that there is no interest, 3T , just flowing. Even when it corrects you, Now Sahaja Yoga gives you realisation, all right, but also it gives you a long rope to hang yourself. If you don't pay heed to yourself and to it corrects you in love and the protection of Divine Love is the only your being and if you don't love way you are germinating. That Love yourself and understand that you are gives you that warmth needed, that the instruments of God by which for strength needed, that confidence the first time you are going to give realisation to people. You are going to save people from getting drowned and this is the first time you are made needed. Everything is given to you by that Divine Love. So one has to realise that it is love, like that. This capability you never and love is the basis of all this had and no human beings have, which creation. God has created this world you have got now today. Very few this universe only because He loves people had this capability, very very you and He wants to bestow His few people. But now you have got blessings on you because He loves that capacity and you don't want to you. But how far you love yourself is evaluate yourself! How important it the problem. How far you understand is? If you could realise then you yourself is the problem. You don't would work it out? Allow the evaluate yourself and that is the blossoming to come up. On the reason why, though the Kundalini has contrary I find, today because you are risen and you have got realisation, Sahaja Yogis and I can talk to you like your vibrations are flowing, the this, normally it is about Kundalini growth is very slow. Because and all that, but I find that you don see the movements of your attention has been outside and even

If you try to understand is appointed for that. that she is the one who loves you the most, because she is your individual mother, if you try to follow her, you Sahaja Yogis must realise what is their value. What have you made out of will see that She is suggesting where Sahaja Yoga? How many people have is the problem within you? What you have to correct, what you have to do. Because She wants to perfect you, She wants to help you. So if you problems for others by talking, by you saved, how many people you have helped? Your own problems are so many and you are creating start watching it carefully, with love, with understanding, She is very discussing, by arguing.

By arguing, discussing, fussing, judging, confusing yourself, you You have to be just alert about Her create a problem for your Kundalini and She really matures you. You have to work it out. Are you not seeking seen people, with time how they have your spirit? Are you not worried matured? But you have to pay attention to Her and yourself, about the salvation of your own spirit? If so, what are you doing about it? That's the most important thing. I otherwise what is your value without enlightenment?

You have to think about it is not put to the mains? The rest is all useless, isn't it? It is you who have to raise the people; you have to enlighten the people as we have some gas lights. A man runs up to the gas lights to lighten them. He only has the capacity and power to do it, so he them, you have to give it to them, work it out, put all your minds to it. But still I find people are busy with other things. They go back into the same circle. You should be busy, I don't say that you shouldn't do something for your living, you have to do it. This is one thing very runs up to the street, lighting all the

 35 July-Aug 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze body is so important as well as dispensable. You know what happens in Sahaja Yoga, very common in India, not so much here, Indians do important for us to know that we have to work it out, we have to allow it to grow within ourselves. But if you say that Mother we have all faith in you, this way. They have very good points that's all. Its not sufficient, what faith do you have? What do you mean by like whenever I go I find they are very faith? It is such a vague term. What much matured and very much is faith after all? Have you ever developed, because they are not analysed the word 'faith'? Some thinkers as you are. You are great people think that we have all faith in thinkers, visionaries and intellectuals. Mother if we sing her praise, finished. I was thinking all intellectuals For that one has to reach a stage like Adi Shankaracharya had reached. Have you got faith in yourself is the point? Who is having certain developing horns here, like this, and when you see them you will know that they are intellectuals, who were denouncing God and denouncing all faith in me is the one who has n o His ways. faith in oneself? You have to have faith in yourself and in all vour They are not intellectuals, I would say, fellow beings, all the other Sahaja to that extent, but they fail in certain Yogis. I have already told you that things, while you fail in certain things. Sahaja Yoga is not going to work out They always had this kind of thing individually. Anybody who is that somebody came up like one man thinking that I am something who said, no I am the great, I am this, greater than the others is a gone I am that. He goes on this kind of case. Nobody should work Sahaja harping and he shows down other Yoga for oneself in that way. You people. And then suddenly such a have to work collectively, for Pperson is brought down and the everyone of them. Any one of you people are shocked. Mother what who thinks that he has something happened? You cannot, If you have higher than the others have, then you to pull a spread carpet like that, you are sadly mistaken. Its like one eye cann't pull one side of it, you have to saying that I am higher than the other carry the whole. Only one person or one nose saying that I am higher cann't shoot off in the whole game. than the eyes. Everything has its own Now you take my position. Yes I place in the body of Virata and every know I have all the powers, every

 The Divine Cool Breeze July-Aug 2000 37 thing is there of course, I am supposed to be much higher and all that, supposed to be, I say. But confronting you I have to come down, I have to fight the way with you up the hill. Every step we have to go together hand in hand. You know that. Somebody's some chakras are catching. Alright. So, I put my Chakra into play, it works out that way but you know how much I have to struggle? How much I have to work hard? Its a task, giving realisation. My Kundalini doesn't need anything. You know that but still she has to carry So be careful, in dealing with people you have to deal with love, not with criticism or in anyway showing them down in any way. When you are not in anyway higher than anyone then there is a reason it should be done like that. If you are getting any way higher, you are helping the collective being but in that if you are feeling that you are anyway higher than others, you are again coming down because you are pulling down the collectivity. If you put down anyone, or condemn anyone like that, then you are putting down that person. You should not also correct because I am there to correct. Its not easy to correct others. You may hurt them. You don't know even the your heavy Kundalini on herself and raise it. Its a very heavy thing, only a person of real love can do that. Thats the only criteria. The one who doesn't have love cann't do it. It is too much ways of correcting people. Unless and until you have those powerful a thing to do. The whole body, if I vibrations which are emitting from break into, every centre vibrating, its your being just love. Then you can not easy. But its just the love and the do it. Because of an ego oriented compassion between you and me, society you are very good at hurting which suits me, which covers all the others. You dominate others; you task and the labour and thing that I don't even know that you are have to put in and sometimes it is such dominating others. So many ways, I have learnt in this country we have, by which we dominate in a very subtle way. We talk to people in such a way that we are dominating them. Do we ever think, sit down, how are we a wasteful thing, I feel about some people. It is such a waste with them but still the love that has brought us together gives that soothing feeling and you feel so cheerful. Every morning you get up, with a new fragrance within yourself and you feel so happy about it. going to talk to others, suggesting our love to them? I will tell you again and again that

 July Aug 2000 38 The Divine Cool Breeze Sahaja Yoga is nothing but love, love, have seen how people hate. How they love. How much you love others is treat each other, how they talk about the main point. Despising, criticising each other? There is no tenderness is not good. Yesterday you were just about them, no kindness about them. the same, today you are better off, you How sharp they are with each other? are going to be better off still. You have to change all that now. You Suppose some people who are very have to create a world of people who heavy or very troublesome, you love each other for nothing. Not for should tell them clearly that sorry sir, money, not for positions, not for you are very negative, we cann't bear beauty, not for sex. Only for love's you. There are some cunning people sake. Only because you have been also who may come in and try to blessed by love. trouble you. To a point it is alright, then you have to tell them off that we From next time we will be advertising are sorry. But even to judge whether and many more new people will come a person is negative and what sort of into Sahaja Yoga. But all of you must things he is doing, you are just find out how many people you can thinking about him, you are bring along and work out. Put your rationalising. Not through rationality but through vibrations. Because through rationality a person may mind to something like that. All the time we are thinking about jobs this and that. This is a very precious time that should not be lost. All our lives appear to be a very nice person, may be, or a lady coming in, here could be a terrible stuff. So how much you marrying, having children and dying. meditate means how much you love. This life time let us do something When you think of others, think how special, for which this whole much you love them, just try to think universe was created. Open the how beautiful it is! If it is not love it gates of Heaven for the rest of the is hatred. Its like a scorching heat, you we have done jobs, made money, people. You have to be assiduous. There is no compulsion in Sahaja see, which will completely take away Yoga, you know that very well. There all the beauty, all the smoothness of your heart. is no timing for it, there is no forcing for it because I say it is love. If you don't want to do it, nobody is going Only through love Sahaja Yoga is going to spread. All these years you to force you. have seen the powers of hatred. You

 July-Aug 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze 39 But as I said, Sahaja Yoga gives a without even knowing it. Its happening. You are transmitters. Every where you are sitting in meditation you are transmitting vibrations. Do you know that? At that time if you are thinking about your jobs and other things which you have been thinking before, then transmission is poorer. Think of love. Think of the whole country, think of very long rope to hang yourself. Till you go into illusions completely and you would not even know that you have lost your vibrations. It is to that extent. If we have entered into something which was unprecedented, we have to take the ways which are unprecedented. You cann't go the way that you have had before. You have to change your methods, judge every action of yours through love. How much sacrifice the whole world at that time. You are transmitters of these waves of love, and love will flow from you. you can make for others? What can you sacrifice for others? What service I told you once that you are made in can you do for others, Sahaja Yogis I the form of Ganesha and thats what am saying. There is no sacrifice in it. you have to do. You know that If you see, there is no sacrifice, it is vibrations from you are coming out. You are sending vibrations out, you love. know that. That means you are like If you love some one and you want any deity which is thrown out of the to take say a rose for a person and mother earth's womb and a big temple you go to the market. With great is raised and thousands of people go difficulty you get the rose. When you to worship that. They say that it is the get it you feel happy. But then you temple of a Jagrut Devta, means get the thorn in the finger, still you enlightened, awakened and that's just don't mind, its bleeding, doesn't a stone, a stone that comes out and matter.

What are you doing Yogis. Change your friends. Change about it? Is it because there is no your methods of life. You will enjoy business in it, that we are taking it so slowly? Supposing its an enterprise, then every body would be up and doing, Isn't it? We have to change our ways and methods of understanding. The reward of God is thousand fold much more. This is for you to understand about yourself and about the importance of Sahaja Yoga. Unless and until it is an enterprise, nobody takes it seriously. This is the style of western thinking. It has to be, than any enterprise can bestow upon whether it is hocus-pocus or real enterprise? Does not matter. As long as money exchanges, everybody is up-and doing it. But when it comes to Sahaja Yoga, they have no time, you. When He blesses you, you wouldn't even have words to thank Him. To that extent He goes. Are we depending on him or on our own old ways? We have to change very much, even to meditate. Because we have we have to transform ourself into a not yet loved we have not felt that love within ourselves. I wish you could all feel that depth of love. Then you would go all out to work it out new style of thinking. It is very very important. I hope you will think about it, what I have talked to you today. Don't take to a life which has not for yourself and for others. May God Bless You continue from page 7 be transformed. Still your joy is Rama made people very serious and sober. The gaiety of life had vanished. So Shri Krishna started this type of celebration. Only Sahaja Yogis could celebrate that way now and play Holi limited, but when you share it with others and when it resounds in others and when you see them in this joyful state, then a unique state of joy will dawn in you. with love; not to trouble any one but to express one's joy and also to give joy to others. I saw the Yuva Shakti boys and girls dancing out of happiness and joy. To bring people in the state of joy Lord Krishna asked them to celebrate Holi. My Blessings to you all.
