One of the stage. sweetest is the childlike quality of The joy of his innocence electrifies Shri Ganesha is innocence. the whole audience and all the newly Every human being is born with married couples sprang to their feet innocence. It is an innate quality and and started dancing with him. His can never be lost. But, after it gets innocence transported everyone into eclipsed in the blaze of a burning right another world. Everyone became a side. The ego starts giving funny manifestation of our Divine Mother's notions of another identity and one joy. Imagine how much power is in a starts assuring a false identity. The little child's innocence that it could identity falls into worldly illusions trigger the entire adult world into such primarily that it has to project itself a ecstasy. to achieve national success. In this process it not only estranges itself From this one can realize that inner from its natural quality of innocence joy comes from the simplest thing of but also depletes its own natural life, which is innocence whereas one reservoir, which stems from does so much and yet falls into joyless life. Shakespeare has humorously innocence. One may achieve worldly success but described human effort as much ado one is unable to derive joy from it because one loses the natural capacity Today we are indeed fortunate that we to enjoy. This natural capacity is are allowed to worship Shri Ganesha innocence. Joy is the fragrance of at the Lotus Feet of H.H. Shri Adi innocence e.g. in our homes we get Shakti Mataji Nirmala Devi.

 September-October 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze SHIVRATRI PUJA 5-3-2000 (PUNE) Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi First I will speak in English language also the other extreme of a very because we have so many people destroying character. He can destroy the whole world. He can finish all the from foreign countries and specially creatures that have been created, if he from Madras and also from Kerala, Hyderabad and Bangalore. All these gets into a temper. You all must be people have come here and I don't knowing the story how he went into ecstasy. There was a devil who had know what other people are here who taken the form of a child and the have come from South and who do mother cannot kill the child. She not really understand Hindi language. cannot. And she thought she won't be able to save the world from the wrath or anger of Shiva if He sees the whole world destroyed by this devil. So she withdrew from her act of sacrificing the child or killing the child and it was Shiva who took over and he just stood on the back of the child and killed This Shivratri has a special meaning, I think, because there is so much, if you read any newspaper in the morning, such horrible news is there about the people who are trying to create all kinds of violence, corruption and immoral behaviour. You are surprised how these days it is so full of all these criminalities going around us. This is the time as if for the Tandav Nritya of Shri Shiva. Otherwise one feels things cannot improve. It is his anger if it starts throwing wrath on people of this character and this type, I don't know him. That child was a devil and so he saved the world from destruction of this horrible Raksha, and then he danced with joy. That's what they call as cosmic joy. Many people don't understand why he is standing on top of the little child. But the reason was this. So even people may camouflage how anyone can be saved from his today as small children, as very wrath. He is a god who is full of love, innocent people, as very holy Gurus, full of tremendous Compassion, but Shiva can destroy all of them. This

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 destruction has already started and is and also completely surrendered, going at full speed all over I think, nothing can happen to them. They through so many things that are are always protected and you all have happening. We have got hurricanes, experience of that protection. But first storms, earthquakes, many accidents you should have faith in yourself and and so many destructive things are complete surrendering to Sahaja working out which are the outcome Yoga. of Kalki incarnation. But at the same time there is another work going on, here mostly from north, south east We are so many Sahaja Yogis sitting of the same incarnation, is the and west of India and also from other resurrection of the people. Such foreign countries. Every country is, today, under the control of, we should say, these negative forces. What we have to do is to make people positive people can never be hurt. Nothing can happen to them. They will always be saved, everything will be saved for them because they are under the protection of their Mother. through Kundalini awakening. This you all can do. This you can achieve, Now the problem is how can the for this you don't have to do Sahaja Yogis deal with such people something special. In day to day life and could see that they go out of the you can achieve it and you should do circulation of evolution. The only it. This is the only thing that is needed solution is raising the Kundalini. If today, to transform people and you you raise the Kundalini of human all can do it. All of you can do it in a beings who are even very bad and very sincere and a good manner. gone cases, either they will be Don't have to get to temper, jump at destroyed or they will be saved and people, get angry with rude people, become good people. They will stop but with peaceful attitude you should all these horrible things they are achieve it, so that this wrathful thinking and planning in their heads and they will become really very, very good people. It may fail in some cases, I won't say that Sahaja Yoga would be successful in every case. But if Sahaja Yogis meditate and keep themselves in complete peace temperament of Shiva, as they say the third eye of Shiva, won't open. That is something horrible. We all can do it in a very constructive manner. So what we should do is to first of all establish our own Shiva principle, the principle of joy, principle of love and

 September-October 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze principle of truth, I should say. There balance we must keep and go on are big problems also because people moving till you reach your Taloo have no idea as to Shiva's global bhag (a where sits Sada temperament. For example I have Shiva (HGIa. You can experience heard people quarreling and fighting it. You can see for yourself whatever over Shiva principle and Vishnu I am saying you know it very well. principle. Now Vishnu is there, his The only thing is when I am telling power is there, for you to rise upto you you can verify it. Sahaja Yoga the Shiva principle. Both are not can be verified very easily and you different. One is supplementary for know that. You now know the only another. But if you go on fighting even on that point, I cannot understand. You cannot reach Shiva truth. The truth which is absolute. This is also the principle which starts showing results when these two powers meet. Its very surprising that where these two powers meet or when you reach Shiva principle through the Vishnu principle then you realize that these two powers are complimentary and so much related to each other. There is no difference in a way between these two powers and so keep your road, the madhyamarg (TE ) clean and let the Kundalini pass through it. When the Kundalini will pass through it you without Vishnu and you cannot stick to Shiva's principle if you have not understood the Vishnu's principle. Kundalini itself rises through the Sushumna Nadi. She is the principle, so she is the tatva of Shiva and she rises through the channel that is made by Vishnu out of evolutionary process. So how can you do away with one of them. One is the road, another is the destination. So I hope you understand how important it is that your centres should be corrected, your road should will be amazed that the same Kundalini is going through the Vishnu path and reaching at the lotus be alright, that your Sushumna should are be clear because we madhyamargis. We have to go by the centre, by the central path and we have to have the balance, not to go to feet of Shiva. May God Bless You. the left and not to go to the right. This

I had never heard of services and all that. So I said, now what's that foreign services? But I said, I am not going to go to any foreign country. as they say is a "Ghor Kaliyuga" and all sorts of horrible things we can see here, read in the newspapers. It is a fact that its a very bad times we are passing through. Also we find very low graded people, we can call them of very low value system. Just now we have got freedom and we have to work. We have to work out many things for this country. Not only that, but I realised that civil service is the spinal cord of this But it was also predicted long-long country. It has to bear all the brunts, time back that at this time only the all the troubles, all the burdens. At people who are seeking the truth in the same time it has a great the hills and valeys of Himalayas, all responsibility to build this country kinds of forgotten places, will find and that's why I put my, I should say, the truth. It is already described by all effort that my husband gets many, many great astrologers, also by saints. So at this time we are placed selected to IAS and somehow or other we lost lot of money, everything. Its alright, I said, I can live with anything. in very fortunate circumstances. I must say I have a great love for all the people who are in the I AS and IPS and all civil services, becauseI But to live in the foreign countries and wasting your energy there, it's time now for us to live here. I think this know what one has to go through. Its the life of great termoil and sacrifice, also for the wife (of these officers). patriotism is the only thing by which we can live doing our civil service, understanding our responsibility and But I always felt that this is like a soldier fighting in the war. We are Government of this country which is, here to build up this country. My though run by parties after parties, the husband was first in the foreign lot of the civil services to go through also that we are the mainstay of the

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 all kinds of, all types of, problems to solve for the public. Its a life I learnt where women have to be extremely forbearing, sacrificing and always very much keeping happy. It's a question of why are we here in this service? We are special people, no doubt, we have special powers, no doubt. But without misusing the required for thinking, for futuristic planning, all these things, comes from where we don't know, but according to Sahaja Yoga it comes from a centre which creates the energy for the brain cells which are used all the time. We go on taxing our brain, using its energy all the time but we don't know how it is replaced and replaced by one powers, what are you? Nothing! If you misuse it then it is not proper and centre. This centre is looking after so many organs, that this overflow of if you don't use it,you are powerless. energy to the brain for this futuristic life can create lots of problems, not This is really the situation. But the enjoyment and the happiness and the satisfaction comes from the fact that Only tension but lots of other problems also, because this energy Starts getting exhausted and when we are in the struggle this energy starts you are working for your country. So this patriotism, which I imbibed from my parents and also from Mahatma getting, sort of, finished or may be we develop tremendous imbalances Gandhi, I felt that we are duty bound to workout in such a manner that within ourselves. As shown in the every one of us does something which body chart, you can see here very clearly that our autonomous nervous is very constructive and which is very helpful. But at the same time while system is in three channels and either doing that because of such a difficult we can go to the right side or to the situation we develop all kinds of left, but in the centre we cannot problems and that's what I am going remain. If you are too much futuristic, if you think too much, if you are working out too much then this right The first thing is when we see side comes and this is a very, very to talk to you about. something, we react. This reaction can important thing to understand that we create two problems within us. One start losing the balance. of conditioning or another of ego. Both are troublesome things and they The first thing that happens to a person like that-that he develops make us very nervous and tense. The very bad liver. His liver goes out of main thing is that the energy that is

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 7. But it can be a serious paralysis which order because the centre looks after the liver. Now the heat of the liver can affect all the right side-right from when it is created starts rising. So we the mouth to all this area, and also might develop Asthma, very serious hands, legs everything become type of Asthma and they say now its paralysed. So this is another thing incurable. But it is curable. If you can which is awaiting such people who balance the person, it can easily be don't care for balancing themselves. cured. This Asthma then, if it does They are all serious diseases I should say of the upper part of the body. To the lower part of the body this heat not happen, this heat goes towards the heart. passes towards the pancreas. So In childhood if you are born with bad pancreas you get diabetes. Then it goes little lower and in the spleeen understand but if there is a boy say you can get even blood cancer. Sahaja 21-22 years of age who plays tennis Yoga has cured definitely the blood and also drinks a lot and all that, he cancer. Can be cured. Then it can even gets a fatal heart attack, very fatal and effect the kidneys - Kidneys can be he dies. But if he didn't work out that very badly affected and you might way gradually it starts moving develop kidney trouble. You can try towards a massive heart attack. It transplantation but doesn't help could be for anyone at any age but much. Then it comes to your stomach specially as the old age starts it can where you get constipated and always heart or anything then one can really show its business. So this is a common disease we have that our happen to a right sided person that heart is in a trouble; then you try in anger, temper. All these things can we cannot help it because he is so pacemaker, this thing-that thing. Instead of that if you take to Sahaja Yoga, you do not have to worry about your heart. It will be excellent. Then much busy with his planning and with everything that his brain has no rest. So he gets irritated where he says something not according to his own desire as his own plans. With all these another thing that can happen to you on the brain side that if right side is things happened this right side too much then our left side brain gets problem, I think, is a very serious affected and we get peripheria by problem which all of us are facing. which our hands become absolutely Now it comes as I told you from our dead and also legs can become dead. reactions. So our reactions are

 September-October 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze because of our mind. Now if you develop that witness state because now you go beyond your mind. You have a mind that reacts then how to don't react, you see, you just see, stop this mind from reacting? Einstein has already told that when watch and surprisingly your attention becomes extremely powerful. You he was looking for the theory that he have all these things within you. Just wanted to produce some relativity, he think that we have to have, say, some got so tired doing it, went to the light, it has to be connected. I am speaking here. This instrument has to garden and started playing with the soap bubbles and suddenly he says be connected to the mains, Otherwise from somewhere unknown the whole thing, the whole scientific explanation came into his mind. That he called as it is useless. In the same way we are to be connected. We have to decide that we should be connected to that the "torsion area". We all have that Divine power. Once you are "torsion area". The subtle energy that connected to that Divine power, such surrounds us, which looks after us, I call it the Divine love, that helps us in every way to balance oursleves, to a change takes place within you. First of all your hands start speaking. It is written in the Koran that at the time enrich ourselves and to give the absolute knowledge, not relative knowledge but absolute knowledge. So this is the Gyan Marga we are of resurrection, Kiyama, your hands will speak. So, I say, I will only accept muslim rules, that hands are speaking. Means on your hands, on these five talking about, of the absolute knowledge. Now this torsion area is the wonderful thing. Because this fingers, here and here, seven places, you can feel your centres, then you can feel the centres of others because Kundalini when she rises, she not you become a collective being. Who only nourishes all the six centres is the other! You can feel everyone enlightens them and integrates them on your fingertips. A person may look but also connects you to this torsion area of Einstein. Suddenly you are alright, normal to you but you realise amazed at yourself. How it has no-no, he is not. Something very serious he's got. On the fingertips you happened that you get so many can feel it, what's wrong with others. solutions of problems which are solvable. Your temperament changes. Now, if you, somehow or other, You are so relaxed, that means you master this art, at the most you take

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 one month, if you do it you can raise other's Kundalini. That's how they say the Sahaja Yoga has spread in eighty six countries. It has spread, no doubt, it has spread in eighty six injustice to them, they are quite alright. He said, don't interfere. I said, I am not interfering but I will prove it to you that these girls are innocent and simple girls and unnecessarily you people are thinking that they are bad countries but I have not been to all these countries. I have not visited all women. So, I went with them. That these countries, I myself might have gone to about say twenty countries, at the most, but people who got time of course we had only one car. So I went by rickshaw with them to that place where the man had written that they are bad persons. So, I went and asked him, are these the two girls who were living in your upper flat? realization in these countries went down to all these places and gave realisation to others. Are these the girls who did like this? He said, not at all, those are very Now, imagine a country called Benin in Africa has got seven thousand different, not these. And I came and told them, see I judged them from Sahaja Yogis. They were all muslims and they all have got realisation. That vibrations and they cannot be bad doesn't mean that you are no more a Muslim or a Hindu. You are that but persons. So sometimes we punish you know the essence of that. So you people, we get angry with people who respect every religion. You respect all the incarnations because now you because we don't know what they are. have the true knowledge about We also follow wrong path, we get religion, about yourself and about the whole universe. You can feel it on don't know what is the right one. your fingertips. do not deserve that kind of a treatment lost into so many things because we Now, with this happening of the Kundalini, physically you are alright, physically your problems are solved, physically you don't have to bother. Actually it's hardly any trouble to cure people physically, we also have a hospital, where they don't charge anything except for the room, where Once when my husband was the city magistrate, two ladies came to me from the backdoor and they said see now, these police people are putting us into trouble, we are good women, we have done nothing. I just felt their vibrations. I told my husband that I think you people are doing some they have to live. Sometimes, the

We are getting people from ali Kundalini. They knew the word over the world. Very highly placed Kundalini also. So I thought I must people come there and they are find out. Who has told you all this? getting cured. Now for that you don't Two saints came from India long-long have to go to the whole with maroon of feeling, what's wrong with them, Machindernath and Gorakh-nath had putting them for diagnosis. In gone everywhere. They went to diagnosis only the patient dies half Ukraine also. So they might have told way. But this is only on the finger tips. them about this Kundalini and the You know what's wrong with the awakening of the Kundalini. But, they person, you need not tell that person said we don't know how to raise the what's wrong. You know how to cure Kundalini. Once you are entitled as time back. May be, I thought it and how to work it out. Sahaja Yogi, you can raise the Kundalini of any person, you can cure Today only a friend of ours came to see me, much younger to me, looking any person. You can do whatever you so very old and haggered. He said, I have got paralysis. I said, how. He was another one of the same kind, I have seen the tension is more a want to do as far as the physical side is concerned, even the mental side. working too hard, too hard and within twenty minutes or so after raising his Kundalini his face became alright, his hands became alright and he said, I quite and you don't know how to can't walk without a stick. I said, handle the situation. This also is the alright now you walk, he started same reaction of your mind that walking. I have seen people running, who come on wheel chairs. Its very mind then you will be amazed the idea mental side of human beings where you get very tensed up, get very angry, annoyed or you become extremely works it out but if you go beyond the surprising how it works out. But for that comes to you are absolute, the this we must know this is the solution that comes to you are knowledge of our country. Not that others didn't know, they knew. absolutely perfect and the people who are against you also become your friends. Those who are troubling you In Bolivia, I was surprised, Bolivia is very much, also become very-very so far off, people told me we know

So, once you get transforming of human beings. The other day I had met a newspaper connected with this Divine power of reporter. His name was Mr. Abbas. He was extremely aggressive with love, all these things just drop out as useless. No jealousies, no me. He asked me funny questions. He competition, nothing. We have many said, how did you know that you are people also in the foreign service and Divine? I said, how did you know that you are a human being? He reacted. I they told us that people are very said, see, because I would not react. I happy with us, Mother. I said, why? Because we are not competitive. We used to watch, I used to see and I are all becoming ambassadors, this, that but nobody is angry with us found that I am different from others, so I didn't like to show off this thing. Nobody wants to understand it that because we are not competitive. When the mind starts thinking of way. You have to prove, that's the best competition, one can go into any way Sahaja Yoga can be told. So, he said but how can I get the proof?I wrong alleys, into any dark alleys and said, I don't believe in any really can be a very much a different fundamentalism, alright. I do believe person. But with this you are in the centre, you have complete balance in yourself. And at that moment his within yourself and all the hankering, Kundalini rose, just like this, you see. He said, what's happening? How this everything drops out. You don't cool breeze is flowing into my hanker after this, you don't hanker after people, you don't hanker after great publicity or anything. You just automatically become so balanced fingertips? How is it? I said, also feel it out of your fontanelle bone area and he was completely changed. He said, whatever I have asked you the and you are not bothered as to what's quetions I am not going to put it up. frightened. For example, if you are happening and that you are not it's all nonsense (I was stupid). Now standing in the water you are afraid of the waves, alright, but supposing I have become a sensible man. Actually this Kundalini changes, you get into the boat then you can really transforms you. Now they say even enjoy the waves. But suppose that we have six enemies-kaam, you learn how to swim, you can jump krodh, mad, matsar, loabh, moha, down and you can save people. This

As I have said that I have tremendous awareness has been already told to us concern for you people, always had%3; but because of my husband's strict by A. Yung. You know A. Yung who rules I could not touch his office was a disciple of Frieud, whom he people, I could not talk to them, I revolted against and he talked about the mother instinct. could not meet anyone even a peon, leave alone the IAS officer. He was We Indians you see are Shakti pujaris. very strict about it. I said, alright, I Now, these days the Navaratras are will try some other areas. But now he on but we have never going has retired, luckily. Now I am free, understood the message of Mother's even to talk to you, surprisingly, Love. It is the Mother's Love that otherwise he could never allow me works, I think, and you also become to talk to you people because he thought it's not proper. You must compassionate.

It should come, we should He was fond of music so he had a big prosper, our country should prosper, we should create more things. I agree there, but this hankering should go gramophone, - a big horn like thing and one day one thief came, the door was open, and he took away that gramophone. So, next day he was sitting very seriously. So my mother said, are you sorry for that? He said, away. Now, the hankering becomes the other way round, like what should I give to this lady? What should I do for this gentleman? I mean the worry no-no, that I can buy, but I am only goes to the other side... that what to sorry, this man, he seems to be a connoisseur of music, has taken away the gramophone! now what will he play, he has not taken any records. So, my mother said, alright, you advertise in the newspaper- the one who has taken the gramophone should please come and take the records so that he do... what should I give that they won't feel bribed, because sometimes you know Sarkari Naukar, as they are, they are very strict. So if you give them, they think you have given them a bribe. I said, this is not a bribe. I am just giving because I want to give you. So will you take it? With very great enjoy the gramophone. difficulty they take.

First of all I who comes there was my husband) She said, you know him? I said, Yes. How? He is my husband; After that never knew about your seniorities- juniorities, anything I don't know much about this, I don't understand. she didn't talk to me. She never said it to me. To know that to live in Meena I came to Delhi, I mean my husband Bagh is bad in itself is quite a big came here, to Delhi, to work for knowledge about things, isn't it? That Shastriji. So, we met in a party a only people of this much pay live in Meena Bagh. It's really impossible, I friend of mine who was from my college. She asked me, arey! how are you here, Nirmal!

Where do you live? first thing she asked. I said, I live in Meena Bagh. Aah! Meena Bagh! very happy. He says I am a socialist because I always think of the social problems... Somehow or other I am a socialist, alright because this is a what is your husband doing? You could have got a much better husband. Why did you marry a man who takes you to Meena Bagh? Baba! I didn't know Meena Bagh was that bad. You collective sense and when I heard that these people are doing this kind of a work, I said, amazing. I can't imagine! Those days women used to talk of something else, they would never talk of something social. It was so see, Shastriji asked us to come here and there was no house so, they gave us Meena Bagh. I thought it was very bad to live in Meena Bagh the way she was talking. Then she said, alright, this gentleman who is coming, this tall gentleman... you know, he is difficult to make them understand social work, funny type of

 September-October 2000 15 The Divine Cool Breeze country. I would say these days our atmosphere was there. The Britishers had left their legacy on our heads and country is in a very big turmoil-very we were quite enamoured by that.

Anywhere you go there is a temple-how do you know? You can must be your past, doesn't matter, we have to be in the present. Past is finished, future doesn't exist, you will be in the present and that's the reality. You all can feel the vibrations. So feel it on your fingertips. Now, you will be surprised to know that Mecca has got a big stone. black stone. Mohmmed Saheb said, don't workship any stone because people used to make money out of making some statues and all. But this stone he said, you should go round. That is the biggest thing for muslims to go round the stone. Now ask them, why many saints in this country have said that it is within yourself, find out within yourself, the peace is within yourself. This is the way, by Kundalini awakening and when they have written about it also nobody understands. Kabira has said about it, do you go and worship the stone? They don't know. But I know. Because in our Shastras it's written about this-'ida, Pingla, Sukhman nadi re', 'shoonya shikhar pur anahad baajey re'. So many things they have that it's a Meccashwar Shiva. I say it said, but who understand Kabira? and vibrations start flowing... it's a Now, Guru Nanaka has said also very clearly that, Kaahey re ban khojan Meccashwar Shiva. It's a Shiva in the stone. It's the vibrations of the Shiva jayee, sada nivasi, sada alepa, tohe and it's a fact. sang samayee'. But that's only saying, The other day I read a very nice article that's only reading. Then Kabira has also said... Padhi, Padhi Pandit in Marathi that the Shiva was worshipped before the Islamic religion came. But the way they were doing it, because they were going to all kinds of temples and rituals, too moorakh Adishankaracharya has prayed to Even bhaye. Mother... Mother! please remove my shabdajalam. So, we are lost in the many rituals and because of that ritualism.... Mohammed Saheb said, shabdjalam. don't worship the stone. But we have Even in Maharashtra, you will be swayambhus, we have really the surprised, they will get one big bag swayambhus. But when you will gö full of all the kinds of statues and and verify with your vibrations, you early in the morning 4o' clock they will know they are Swayambhus. will get up, start worshipping,

Supposing if you don't want, cannot be forced, it has to be asked for. You cannot force it on anyone, just put your both the hands like this. you cannot pay for it, you cannot doO Again I would request you must anything about it, but if the Kindalini doesn't rise, it's alright. We have a centre where you can go and get it corrected, may be, something wrong in the chakras which you do not know forgive yourself and others. That's very important because if you don't do that then your centre here, we call the Vishudhi chakra, will be blocked.

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 22 ON - RECEPTION DELHI 5.12.99 Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi I bow to all the seekers of truth. I am it is working out and it will work out. overwhelmed to see so many of you sitting here. I couldn't even imagine that so many people will experience The joy that you are receiving, you should give to others also. India of course is my country and the the truth in my own life time. Life joy of coming here is undescribable. without truth has absolutely no When I see you all on the Airport then I know how many hearts are full of meaning since man keeps groping in the dark. Without experiencing the this joy and how many are being nurtured by it! This joy will protect our children and also our youth. It is not the end of this. It will bring truth, one goes astray. But I do not regard it as his fault; the darkness that surrounds him is to be blamed. As I have said, you have to spread Sahaja wisdom and self-rule (Svarajya) in the Yoga. real sense of the word. 'Sva' means This is my keen desire that you should spread Sahaja Yoga and you work it out. Everyone should think that we have experienced the truth, spirit' and Rajya' means kingdom. Kingdom of the Spirit is Swarajya and Swatantra is the "Reign' of the Spirit'. Both of these should come now we should give it to others and make it grow. It will not only help Sahaja Yoga grow but also make this world heavenly, peaceful and prosperous. Now it is up to you. Do it sincerely. This is being worked out and they are there. You people have accepted and adopted it in your lives. Now others have to adopt them. Now is the time of their salvation. It should be adopted now. I notice with surprise that how the millennium is affecting! Many of our foreign Sahaja Yogis came to India. They went to Orissa, gave realisation to many people and started nine Sahaja Yoga centres there. Cyclone was the result of the sins which were being committed there. with full force in India, because it is Yoga Bhumi, Punya Bhumi and it was destined to be worked out in this Punya Bhumi. Still I never expected it to work out with such speed and make the Sahaja family mature. But

 The Divine Cool Breeze 23 September-October 2000 None of the Sahaja Yogis was harmed think in those terms then a lot could in the cyclone nor were their houses be done in India. I think it is not at all difficult because there is absolutely no problem in it - no quarrel, no damaged. Absolutely no harm was done to them. The people in Turkey are Muslims but after Sahaja Yoga difficult, no medicine, no rituals, nothing at all. Only you have to raise they have become real Muslims. the Kundalini of the seekers. This There more than two thousand people who are doing Sahaja Yoga. There also, terrible earthquake came twice power has been bestowed upon you; you have to use this power. If you do not use the power that is given to you then what is the purpose of it. All of but none of the Sahaja Yogis was harmed. Even their relatives were you should use this power and decide saved. Such calamities were there in that each one of you will awaken at Italy also. But I have seen that all the Sahaja Yogis are fully protected and least one hundred persons. Talk to everyone about it. There is no cause you are growing in this protection. It means the last judgement has begun to feet shy or to be embarrassed because we are standing on truth. The with full force. only remedy to check the false Gurus (Guru Ghantals) of today is that we should talk openly to the people about Sahaja Yoga and tell them to be at their guards against these people. Otherwise they will be finished. To All of you meditate regularly and you have grown in Sahaja Yoga. But now you should have the desire to give it to others. May be that you have this desire, but some how it is not being fulfilled. You have to do it with full enthusiasm. The worldly and save the sinking ship of this world is our duty. Only you could do it. You should try to give self realisation to domestic activities go on always but amongst all these activities you have to take time to give realisation to more and more people. This joy could not be confined to one's own heart. others and uplift them. This is your If it were possible to confine then why pious duty. It all depends on you. should I leave my house and move in Only you could do it and many of the whole world to give self you are already doing. But if you think over it seriously, this comfort, this joy which we have received realisation to people? This is a state in which you wish to use your power collectively. If you are in this state should also be given to others. If you then use it fully and go ahead in that

So this is the glory of the love and to I hope next year when I come to India many more people will have become share this love with others is a great Sahaja Yogis. You have honoured me thing. If it is achieved in this life time then it will be the reward of all the and arranged this reception. What do I say about it? There was no need of it. Yet it was your desire and I had to bow before it. But the day I arrived I punyas. Abundant Blessings to all of you

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 25 Talk by Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi Hague, Holland, 17-09-1986 To influence other people we must absolutely late. Also if you tell know how much control we have somebody that I have to meet at such upon ourselves also. That is very and such a time, and this should be important. For example some people arranged at such and such a time, then do not have proper image and they you should be absolutely punctual. Its try to influence others. So its a very important that the punctuality mockery. Nobody gets influenced by is to be maintained by you. such a person who himself has no Now, I've seen in the West specially that people get up very late, are very image of his own. So before working out the exterior the interior must be lazy; they walk in a limpy manner; and the whole thing shows that they are not interested in the world, they are just pushed into it and somehow or other they are doing. Such a person can never influence anyone, because people also see your image, that you yourself are dragging your life somehow, so why to do the same thing? - Whatever he is doing. He cannot tell us anything. So that is another reason why you cannot influence people at all, if you are yourself a lazy person. So, the person worked out. For example a person who always comes late to the office and is always delayed, who has no time-sense, is never respected. So when you tell people that they should be in time, you should be the first to arrive at the right time. You must always keep the time, absolutely. You should be known for keeping time. So if you have to go to the office at ten o'clock, you reach the office in such a way that you are there five minutes early, wait outside and enter the office at the time who has to influence others must be when you have to go there. That an early riser, must have proper punctuality is very important. That habits of sleeping, must get up in the helps people and people get an awe morning and be properly brushed, for you. They think, this gentleman washed and everything, and should is so regular and I'm the one who is be what we call a smart man.

 26 September-October 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze Now, many people believe that if you try to be a fashionable type, that you wear dresses of a fashionable style comes with a person when he realises that he is completely secure. And in Sahaja Yoga you know that if your center heart is secure, tell yourself, and all that, that will influence others. "Mother is with me. Mother is It's not true. Because they think that you have no conviction of any kind, helping me, and I'm with Mother. I have nothing to worry." Then your center heart will be alright. Of course, this you cannot tell to others, but still if you have personality you can instill you see, you must build up an image of yourself that you are such and such a kind of a character, as we have in a drama, a character. A person speaks with the same that into others very simply. But if you character, talks with the same are diffident about yourself then you character. And the style should be absolutely known to people that this is your style, that is how you are. That you don't compromise on things. cannot do it. So confidence is to be established first of all within yourself. For Sahaja Yogis it's very easy to say, "I am the spirit, and I am the child, I am the one who has been chosen by the Adi Shakti herself." So It is very important that when you are talking to people you should have a proper style of talking, walking; a proper style. This should all be trimmed down properly, that you there should be a tremendous amount of confidence in you. For example when you are with the people, how do you eat your food? don't walk in a languid manner, in a manner of throwing your legs here Some people open their mouth all the and there but straight, and sit down time, eat their food with a sort of sound. All these things are watched by others. How you eat. How you straight. And let people see that you have faith in yourself first of all. If you don't have faith in yourself; I talk. Normally things are watched by mean any behaviour that shows that others. How you eat. How you talk. you have no faith in yourself; you Normally you should not keep your cannot influence. So your self- mouth open. You can never influence confidence must be shown through people. Keep your moth - not pursed all your behaviour like talking, either but in a normal way closed, walking sitting and communicating. so that people don't think that you are There should be a feeling of just gaping at them if you keep your moth open all the time. Or they should confidence. But the confidence

 27 September-October 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze not think that you are aggressive with feel that this gentleman is very them or angry. Have a normal face, a face that is neither aggressive, nor pleasant. Another way to impress people is to allow others to talk, - listen to them subservient. Suppose if you keep a gaping mouth, they'll think, "Oh, he's an idiot.", and if you purse your lips they'll think you are a person of a properly, - do not talk yourself. Listen to them, and once they've said aggressive nature. So one has to something, say, "That is true no understand how you are sitting before others, talking to others. And to doubt. I agree with you but.." Then you can start. So you don't just stun them by your, "No! Not at all!" like that. But on the contrary, you see what influence others, first of all, as I said, you must respect your own personality, and then respect the they say, You can watch me, I do that personality of other people in your many times. When somebody says something, "Oh, that is true, but, you see, this is it..." So they don't mind. Like when somebody comes in, you They think that you have seen the should talk to them in a very gentle other side of the thing also, that you manner - knowing that there is another have a balance, you don't just impress God who is coming in. If there is your idea upon others. In a way you Spirit in me, there is Spirit in him also. are, but you do it in such a way that So you must see that he sits properly, nobody feels the impact that you are that he is comfortable, and ask him if doing something of that kind. behaviour. he wants any tea. Make him comfortable. Make him feel that you Now, as far as possible don't tell are not in any way disturbed, nor that anybody to do anything. That hurts you are irritated, but you are very people. For example, when I tell happy to meet him and you should people, "Do this. Put the lights off." settle down with kindness. Sometimes After all you are my children, it's also in diffidence one might feel alright, it is a different relationship. nervous about a person. That But when you are dealing with others, nervousness is a sign of insecurity. like somebody is there sitting - if you One should not be nervous if one is want to put on the light, slowly, while talking to someone. One should be talking, you get up and put on the you in a way that another person should light. Ask him, "Do you mind if I put on the light?" Any behavioural feel absolutely confident and should

 28 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 But if you try to do the fashions of the world, then it changes everyday. Today the hair will be this side, tomorrow that side. So make the hair style as an official would do. That is to properly comb it. In the olden days, if you see, even the heroes of the film used to have oil in their hair. They never had this kind of hair that is dry. I mean, it need not be oil, but should be properly groomed as they say. in you. They should trust you that There are lots of things available in whatever you are saying is the truth. the market which can just groom your That you are not telling them hair without oiling it. It should be something that is false or you have properly groomed hair so that it no faith in. The way you tell them shows that you have paid attention to influences them very much that this your appearance and hairstyle. So you man is telling the truth. So the whole make an image out of yourself that is thing should start from your absolutely suitable for a particular aggression is the first impression. It is the other way round in Sahaja Yoga. In Sahaja Yoga first is the Kundalini, then, do this, do that. It is the other way round. You have to build them up from the foundation if you have to impress them from outside. To build them up from the foundation, the first thing is that you must infuse in them a kind of a trust behavioural style. type of a job. Now the dress also is very important in influencing others. Now supposing you are connected with somebody in an official way, or in any way that you Now, for example, if a cook appears in a swimming suit - what would you think of that? It's horrid! A cook has to dress up like a cook. In the same way a businessman also has to dress up like a businessman. You cannot go about in jeans to your office, because if you do it, everybody will do it. And all these things create laxity. Laxity is alright outside the office, outside your business; alright, but not when you have the business. Like we have want to influence him in the business and all that. The best thing is to wear a business dress, not a dress that is relaxed or casual. You must wear a dress that is a business dress, like a deep blue suit with a lot of strips, a proper three-piece smart thing, and smart, clean shoes, and the hair nicely done, may be a little bit oiled, it's a drawing room. Now a drawing alright. Looks like a smart business room is a drawing room, it is not a bedroom. You should not mix them person.

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 29 up. Once you start mixing them up know, I never wrote about a serpent. there's no end to it. It can go to any If somebody else has written why limit. I've seen people going to the should I explain it? I never call it a office in dresses that really look like serpent's energy because that a swimming suit. So this has to be confuses people. But if somebody has revived, and can be revived very called it a serpent's energy it doesn't easily if you tell people that they matter. What can you do about it" won't be able to influence people And when you say such a thing, bring unless and until they keep that kind it to a ridiculous conclusion of the of a form and an upright behaviour. whole thing, so the person himself keeps quiet. In dealing with others there is another point, that you have to be truthful. Don't tell lies. Whatever you have to tell you should say; this much, that is all. But you shouldn't tell one thing But you should not suddenly change the topic, that means that you are evading the issues, that you don't know how to handle it. This is what today, tomorrow another thing, the people do sometimes. They say, day-after-tomorrow another thing. "Alright, let's talk about this." You That creates a very big gap in the cannot do that. A diversion like that mind of a human being. Unconsciously he thinks, "Oh, he's a cheat, and he is trying to evade the can create a big problem. And another thing; while talking to others, don't talk about yourself, "I am this and I am that." No one likes that. Its issue." stupid, to talk about yourself. "I have this thing. I am this thing." Nothing. Supposing now I'm talking to you, and then I start looking at the watch. Now, you just ask, "What are you That is insulting. Supposing you are talking about something particular are you." This. That. All sorts of doing? What is your profession? How and suddenly I change the topic, then questions to him. it is again insulting, because everybody is intelligent to see that you are trying to avoid the issues. But up to a point you should take it, and then, if the whole thing is ridiculous, you should bring it to a point to show that. Like yesterday, I said that, "You Then you have to talk, say, about your organization, you shouldn't say I', you should always say 'we'. We don't do. We'; always refers to the organisation and never to yourself. "I would not do such a thing. I hate it. I

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 30 believe in it." That is absolutely women. When they serve people, they take good care and the food is lavish, absolutely lavish, - eat as much as you like, a lot of food. They give you five, six times food, whatever you like. And you feel quite happy to have all that. You press the button and immediately they are available to you. absurd. "What we have to do. That we believe. We think this way; - and what is your opinion.

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 31 from whom I bought it, and the experiences I've had. I think I'd always go to a person who was kind to me, who is not shouting at me, who there, it is all the time available whenever you want it. It should be properly priced, systematically kept. If somebody comes, if you know the person, if it has validity, the one who can do some business with you, "Here it is. Please have it. You can see yourself." Explain to him what it is. "This is what it is, and we can give is well behaved. His behaviour is nice, he just doesn't try to make fun of me, and also, on the contrary, he gives me all the information and everything. It is absolutely acceptable. you so much concession in that. Like, I went to see Lloyds. It is a company where I wanted to put some money. I mean, it is a very big thing Could be so much." All those things are going to capture the mind. The market doesn't capture so much because of the product, but because to put some money into some bank. They should understand, It's a of the way it is put forward. customer. Now, they had put a little The way it is put forward is very important. You have a proper brochure done, by proper people, or you yourself see to it that it is done beautifully. Spending a little money on that doesn't matter. Whatever is spent is a prop of the capital that you have to put in for the product. It is a part of it. If you think that just to put a product somewhere is enough it won't sell. These are part and parcel, in these modern times, of any product being made or sold. It's part of the product. girl there. After all, the people who are to be contacting others should be people of personality. So some little girl was there. As soon as I came in she asked me, "Who are you?" I told her, "I am this and this." "Oh, no we cant help you. You've got to have this and, please . we can't do it." So I said alright, and I gave the name of the high commissioner of India and all those things. I mean, she should understand, then she would not say like that. So, the only thing is that she did not realise that I was with a driver. I had a chauffeur-driven car. I have a To influence people you don't have to advertise so much as you have to deal with them. I tell you this much, that when I had to buy something anywhere I remember the people Mercedes with me. I was wearing an expensive saree. I looked quite respectable, and she should have

So she said, "I'd like to have identification, and then I have because you do not become arrogant. You do not become blunt, or you say to do this, and - no, no no, no, no!" it bluntly if you tell somebody. I got so fed up with them that I went to another bank, that is North West. I Nobody likes you that way, of if you try to put down another person, or you have got a bank account somewhere try to doubt another person. There are else, but I wanted one near my house. the three things that you look after - Though it is far away, though it is not that you put the person in a in such a good locality, when I entered comfortable position and tell him in, immediately she could see that I everything; listen to him, what he has was an intelligent woman, she could to say, trusting him. Then the person see this is a good customer. She could looks up on you. see that I was wearing diamonds, this, So, in an organisation, if you have to that. You should see from my run any administration, your personality has to be absolutely sensible. Secondly, what you talk, you must follow. Supposing I tell you that you shouldn't take money, and I start grabbing money supposing, - then what will you do? You'll have no faith in me, will you? personality that there is a good customer coming in. Immediately she said, "Please, let us go into the V.I.P. room." I didn't say anything. She took me inside, she talked very gently to from you, me and she asked me and she said, "Can I take one minute?" She went in and she told somebody to Actually, when you give me money for pujas I keep them in a packet and telephone and find out about my things and all that .. use that money for buying the silver and all that for you. I need not. I mean it is out of the question. You have given it in puja, it is supposed to be mine, and I have said, alright, to keep You see, it is not to be done in the presence of a person, but you can verify the person's personality secretly, in a way that he doesn't feel bad or; something may be wrong with this man, is he correct or not? But he should not know that you are the protocol alright you use that silverware, which is my own, but you can use it. I mean, it's just a joke, but

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 33 be something absurd. everybody knows that Mother is so clear cut, so clear cut. You have to be clear cut with people. They should When you have to deal with three persons, or five or ten persons, then you have to understand that you should always try to create a good understand that you do not play tricks with them, or you are not doing some sort of a backhand outwitting. feeling among them. Like now for Some people do it, you see, at the example, I would like you to marry - back of a person they try some sort of a trick. Such a person is never liked. then I will tell you about her, what she is, in a way that will not hurt you Nobody respects such a person. But straight forward dealing with a person as he is. If somebody is not alright, in or hurt her, but prepare you. Because later on you may hear about her, that somebody was saying so, and Mother never told. So, in a very gentle way you should say, "You see, she has a little of these things, but it's alright, she can be very, very gentle. She can manage it." And it depends on you. How you manage it. So that you feel a mild way you should say what the problem is. "We are facing this problem. Now, tell me what is the solution." Then the person does not feel bad. If you tell a person directly they won't like it. No, they won't. You won't like it, if I tell you so directly, informed, knowledgeable about a person, and also responsible about it, that how it is my responsibility. but I tell you everything, - and I tell you in a way that is mild, that is congenial, that is easily understood and assimilated. That is very So, to make people responsible is also a very important part administration. If you start doing of important, that you have a style that people understand, and a proper kind every work yourself then people may never share your work. They will of behaviour. Actually by not influencing others, never do anything. To make them you influence others. Art lies in hiding responsible the best way is by art. There should be no deliberation rewarding them. You must reward exposed about it. When talking to them if somebody has done good someone also, even if you don't work. "Oh you have done such a good understand what they are talking, you work." But not directly like that, but should not show that you are in a very indirect manner you must understanding and listening. It may reward that person. Not only in

He was very unhappy there, He said, 'Not because of a knife, but because of the way this fellow cheated so he wanted to come back.

That is how it should be worked out. well. He is the one who have come up like that. Anywhere in the world you can go and do anything you like. There is a shop in Lucknow that I would say Rajesh is another one who is coming up. makes very good sweets, very famous for it's sweets. Now his father is gone but the son is sitting there. Big stomach he has got. And everybody goes there to his shop. You can't take a car, you have to walk quite a long distance. Now his trick is such, which Unless and until you make proper arrangements you should not shift a person suddenly. You should try to see that this person who is suddenly shifted is alright. But you should find out if you really want to shift a person or not. If you are uncertain better keep it hanging. Time is the best way to allow things to happen like this. Allow a little time to pass-away. Give a little hint to a person., "People are complaining. What to do? I'd like you to help me." So that he also thinks that you give him sufficient time to improve. But if you don't give any time and you just tell a person, I have noticed, he'll first take your order, then you are sitting there and he says (to his boys), "What are you doing? Why don't you give her things? She has been sitting here for such a long time. Look at these people. They just go on taking so much time of people. Now I hope you don't have to go by the aeroplane just now." I said, "No, I am alright!" So, on an apology all the time, you see. So then he said, "Why not taste these "Now, you get out!" - he'll become things I've made specially, just try." your enemy. So you eat something and you say, "Alright, give me some of these too." But, on the contrary, you should say, "I'm sorry, but these people are such, they are trying to trouble us and Like that, he goes on, you see, giving trouble me all the time, and I don't time. And then after some time he

People were so ignorant. There was and they have to have their realization. Also there style of life was such that no awareness, what they have to find. they had no time for themselves. I Of course I found they wanted to find found it very difficult to convince people that you must take your self something that was unknown but they didn't know, what was unknown, what they have to find? And they realization because they thought it is something imaginary. Which is very were extremely ignorant about farfetched and they only believe in themselves and about their gurus who would say alright "Do this surroundings and about the aim of their life. I did know how to start that much of rituals, Karamkands." That's all and they were doing all kinds of rituals with the kind guidance of their topic. Gurus without knowing that you have to first know yourself, which is said thought of trying self-realization only by all the great incarnations, all the on one lady. She was an old lady and saints, clearly. It is not that it was only there was another lady who also my idea that people should get their When Sahasrara was opened I started to come. self-realization but it was the idea of all those people. They said one after another, for centuries that seek This old lady got the realization and then the another lady who was much younger told me that she gets fits and she gets possessed. Oh my God! I said "how will I give her realization?" But somehow she got cured very fast and yourself". Even Christ said know thyself". Mohammed Saheb said the same. Nanak Saheb said the same. But nobody tried to know that these she also got realization. Its a very rituals are not the end of life, they will unknown knowledge. Also human not serve the purpose and they have beings in their ego do not want to to have realization. So those two

 41 September-October 2000 The Divine Cool Breeze those days people were such that if you tell them anything like that, they would turn their faces. Only the kind of false Guru who would say 'alright, ladies only got self realization and with that I thought let's go to the sea- shore and about thirty people came with me and they were talking in a very funny manner as to how they can you give me five rupees'. They will get self realization? They don't be very happy that they have deserve it. They have not been very purchased the Guru and now they good people. All kinds of things, don't have to bother about anything. condemning themselves and in that You don't have to do anything. So lot I got about twelve people with that gradually it started working altogether, inclusive of those two out and I remember that these people ladies who got realization. who got their realization asked me "Mother you allow us to do Durga This is a sign that the movement of Puja." Durga Puja was regarded as knowing yourself is very very slow something very difficult and and people don't understand why they Brahmins were not normally ready to should know themselves. I was quite do it, because they were not realized disappointed because nobody souls. So they used to get into fits and understood me. But one day it so into all kinds of problems. So they happened that in one of the programmes one lady came. She was possessed and she started talking in called the Brahmins, seven of them, and told them "you just don't worry." Nothing will happen to you because Sanskrit language. She was just a now you are facing the reality, not maid-servant! Everybody was surprised and she said "you don't anything. Its a human being. They know who she is?" and then she were quite frightened and they some sort of the Murti Puja or started describing me from the camedown. But something happened Saundarya Lahiri. I was wondering to them that with great confidence what is the matter with this lady! Like they started Mantras and everything. flowing a man she spoke. Her voice was like Vibrations started a man. People may believe it or not but she was very posssessed and then they came and asked mother "What she is saying, is it true?" I said you should find out yourself. Because everywhere. We were very close to the sea and I found that the sea was roaring but people didn't understand. Except for these seven people, they said that nothing has happened to us!

 September-October 2000 42 The Divine Cool Breeze We did everything so well: I think should have somebody to take that was the first miracle also. money, otherwise they don't have it. I said but you cannot sell it. It is See the trouble with human minds at false hood. You cannot sell self- this level or at this time is that they realization to people. He said then have too much of self importance and they think no end of themselves. So you see you won't be successful, with other gurus this is main thing already they think that we are great. that they just accept money and What is there to know ourselves? We even they tell people, bring so much money, do this, that is the fees and know ourselves. So the basic seeking power is humility. If you think that that's how only in Ego you satisfy you know everything, you cannot humble down and you can not seek. Even if you seek, they don't want to follow anybody's path. They will say that we will follow our own path. We and people take to falsehood. This falsehood, they may realize later on because they suffer a lot with all kinds of physical, mental problems but by that time they are gone cases. do whatever we want to do. I faced many people in different countries who just came to listen to my lecture and that's all. They would not take Now the Sahastrara has not been described in any of the books. Though they have talked about in our ancient books in India also. They have talked about Sahastrara but nobody has described it except that it has got a thousand petals. At least if they had mentioned something about it, it would have been easier for me to realization, and some of them did take their realization. They got it but they got it lost. Somehow this was such a funny story for me that I am giving them realization. I am taking no money for it, nothing. I used to travel on my own. But despite that why is it, that the people don't realize the show that see it is written in the book. Because people are like that! It has to be written in some book and that only they accept. Its a very difficult situation, because nobody had given a collective realization. So nobody had written to that extent except for value of self-realization. Then a gentle man who got realization in the first lot, told me that today it is a consumer society, as they call it, what ever it is unless and until you take money from one or two people who wrote clearly about Kundalini. But I would not say them, they will never value it. Let them feel that we have paid for it, for our realization. So at the gate only you it was so clear because it was all in

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 43 poetry. So people would sing the songs but they won't understand. But I was thinking how these people who and that's how people became so clean, so beautiful and started enjoying their lives. But nobody would believe them. When they went round and talked to people, they would say they have gone mad! They could not believe, how they have stopped drinking? How they are not smoking. So the identification I found of these people were mostly with the were lost here and there under some sort of seeking, what will happen to them and how will I be able to give them self-realization? Experiences were so horried but doesn't matter. I went on and on and on and I worked it out. Of course you met some people who were also very cruel and nasty, who troubled me and troubled Sahaja Yogis. All these things should have very loose type of enjoyment. They enjoyed very loose type of enjoyment, which has nothing to do really tampering my enthusiasm but on the contrary I started thinking why, with the spirit. Gradually of course it started working why people are like this? out. But still I must say that we cannot Then I realized onething that we expect, in this Kaliyuga, to have cannot have the whole world to get billions and billions of people in Sahaja Yoga, though it is my desire, it is your desire and you want them to get their self-realization, by which so many good things can happen. understand what they are doing. Its Firstly your physical self improves. not just having the big number that Many people have been cured. Christ will help us but really solid Sahaja cured only twentyone people. I don't Yogis. Then I found there were people know how many thousands have been who got cured of many diseases but cured in Sahaja Yoga? Also there is most of them got lost. Some of them another very big problem with human who were drug addicts, drinking, they beings that they read all kinds of gave up, smoking they gave up. I have books and they have no clear cut idea never said a word, that you give up as to what they should find? What is this or give up that. I know, when the their seeking? It's a very big problem and whatever is in one boook, they try self-realization. This is the last judgement. At this time people have to decide what is the most important. They have to know themselves and Kundalini rises they will automatically give up and it happened to follow that. I mean they are like

That means a new dimension has come now in your nerves. That you can feel the system which has not been known to you. The sympathetic nervous system was there but you never knew how it is in Sahaja Yoga is much more difficult. Because if you are going on one path and you start shifting from one to another then you may go back. But in that they find it is their freedom. Actually without realization you working. The knowledge about don't have your freedom, of yourself was so poor but after anything. Freedom is that in which realization suddenly the whole thing you know what you are. You know got enlightened, Suddenly you start what you are capable of. In the feeling the newness among yourself. freedom you are the one who should Still sometimes you have to fight your receive all the blessings. If these ego. You have to get over your blessings are not there then you are ignorance of things. Because not free. There is something wrong realization gives you absolute somewhere in your own life. Because knowledge, absolute knowledge. It can not be challenged. Its signal, as they call, is Ekmeva Satya, (the only truth) and when you get that knowledge then you can tally it also. once you get your realization you become absolutely free people. Free means your own spirit guides you, Spirit as you know is the reflection of the Divine, the God Almighty. If You can find out whether if it is correct or not. This is something that has happened to all of you and you everybody has the same reflection and he is awakened, then in the awareness have already got those vibrations with it works as if they know what is right and what is wrong. What is which you can feel. constructive and what is destructive. For example there may be some It is not some sort of a false satisfaction that you have but in dissatisfied souls with Sahaja Yoga reality it is. You feel the reality and who are these people? What are they but you can find out on vibrations that is what it has to happen. doing? On vibrations you can make out if those people have reached such The first thing in Sahaja Yoga is that stage of reality or not. You can make out if these people who are trying to you get the experience, of feeling, the spanda, the cool breeze on your finger

On all the great people that they think this your finger tips you know. This is is the truth, not by just reading, not what is 'Kyama' about which by just believing but as an experience. If on their central nervous system they can feel the truth, then it is impossible The other day I must tell you an to change them. Like you can see a Mohammed Saheb has said. experience with me. There was one fellow who came from the television change the tree into a seed. Seed is a and known as staff and he started seed. When the seed changes into the asking me very funny questions tree then you cannot bring it back into which had no relevance. His name seed which may create more seeds, was Abbas. So I said, Abbas Miyan, its different. In the same way once seed becomes a tree, then you cannot you are wasting your time and my you have got your realization and time. Will you come to the right once you have become one with the questions? So he said I am against all Divine, then there is no question of fundamentalism. But I am not you going down and listen to yourself. Its very very remarkable, fundamentalist. How do you know I am that or not? So he said, I am trying how you get this property, how you to find out. "Alright," I said, you put get this ability and this capability and your hands toward me. Mohammed after that you don't use it! Of course Saheb has said that at the time of first you must grow and for that you "Kyama" your hands will speak and, have to meditate. But this meditation, you will be amazed, immediately he once you do it, the whole being itself started feeling cool breeze on his gets so enlightened and so beautiful hands. He said what is happening to that you don't want to change it. You me. I said that's what it is." No use want to be there and enjoy it forever. arguing, no use talking about it, no But of course you want to give it to use enquiring. Just see yourself. others because you are enjoying so Experience it. He just got so stunned much. Like on the street you find and after that whatever he talked to somebody starving and you are me he never published. So what I am having food then you would feel like saying is that if the people reach the truth and they know this is the truth, nothing can change it, if they have giving food to that person. In the same way you see in this world people are madly seeking running up and down,

 The Divine Cool Breeze September-October 2000 46 doing all kinds of things. You want enjoy the turmoil, the torture. to tell them. They may or may not Everything you can enjoy if you see believe. They may try to, sort of, the point that nothing can happen to absolutely deny you, defy you. They your spirit which is the real light. Whatever you may suffer, wherever you may think is troubling you is actually this silent light of the spirit makes you absolutely, perfectly joyous and you give joy to others. You don't design it, you don't plan it, how to give joy, but it just automatically gives joy, and this giving joy is also can do anything. But you know for definite that you are on the right path, you are on the right state of mind which is a Sahaja state. In Sanskrit it is called 'Sahajavastha'. In Sahajavastha you do not react. You just see and appreciate. Now see, I came, I saw this beautiful, such an effortless, Sahaja, because you are in idea of Sahastrara, all the chakras, the Sahaja state. In the Sahaja state they are crossed over, gone up there and from there then, very good feel, its different styles, different you just see things. Its a drama you expression. But any other person Oh, combination is not good, Why? Why did they use this? Why don't they use types, you just see and watch and get the joy out of it. It is not important to this colour would say, see, I like this, I like that, no. That I, which likes, is nothing but ego. This something else? Like that, finding keeps you out of the enjoyment which faults with others! This finding faults actually comes from your brain which is not yet enlightened. You cann't is reality, which is real. Everything in this world, that you find is troublesome, if you see from another enjoy anything because you react, all the time you go on reacting. If angle, from Sahaja sthiti (feefa) you somebody says something nice, still won't feel the troubles. But that higher standard should be built-in within you. you are reacting. If someone says something bad, of course you are reacting. No question! So for us it is The other day I had a meeting with the bureaucrats and I told them I know to understand that we are not free to that the pay is less. You may think that the others get much more pay they have much more facilities. But react. We are not that cheap to react. We are on a very high pedestal. What is our job, is to enjoy. Enjoy everything and that enjoyment is the blessing of the Divine. Even you can there is one way you can really enjoy your work. If you have patriotism,

 September-October 2000 47 The Divine Cool Breeze Deshbhakti. If you have patriotism for in the ocean of purity. Where there is your country, no amount of sacrifice no idea at all of hurting anyone or will satisfy you. You wan to give troubling anyone. Such a protection everything and you can go through is there for them. They cannot be all kinds of depressive states without harmed because after all you have even feeling anything. And at the entered into the kingdom of God, so same time your feelings become very who can harm you or trouble you? Such a prosperity I have seen among Sahaja Yogis and such a generosity deep. For example you are travelling and suddenly you find somebody who is sick. You can feel it on your vibrations that this person is sick and such that they have, and understanding about things. I don't have to give lectures; now don't do this and don't do that. No, no need. immediately your sympathy and your love flows to that person. You try to help that person. If possible you try to even cure that person. Just like that, your whole being becomes like an ocean which absorbs all the rivers and And these who are not yet already matured in Sahaja Yoga should try to mature and those who are not matured and troubling, don't worry about them. You should have pity, have pity for such people that they are all kinds of watery things, whatever it is within its abdomen, I should say. it just takes all that is there. It doesn't immature. hurt. It doesn't trouble someone. It is like over powering a person with his Today it is something great, I feel, love. He doesn't show his power. He because for thirty years I have been does not bother about its self- running up and down every where and importance. If somebody tries to I have been able to gather so many insult you, alright, what is there the of you. There are so many Sahaja insult part of it, and such people who Yogis all over the world.

So this is. greatest creators of art, of music, of something was to happen, has been great thoughts and that's why these already described has been predicted survive. So many people create but by people that such and such thing nobody bothers. But those who are will be happen that so many people will get their self-realization. Unbelievable, It was, of course. But realized souls, whatever they create is of eternal nature. Because they are as now, you see, how sweet is the now in the ocean of eternity. They are

I have seen people not separated from that. Then, that echoes. You can call the 'naad'. The becoming poets, writing beautiful echoes of your being, of your life can be easily seen, not in material advancement or in any other kind of a thing but in the spiritual area which poetry. I have seen people becoming oraters. Also I have seen people becoming very good organisers. But one thing that is very important is is the highest. Everywhere, in every country, there have been people of that quality and till today they are the humility. I said in the beginning and again I would say that what will appeal to the people is your humility. You should be a humble person. all remembered. In the same way you all will be representing a very Do not think that you are something great knowledge about reality in special, or that you are some sort of your life, in your creation or in your working. In every way you can do it. The only thing that now we have to do is to decide how many people a, I should say, self important person. Once you think that you are important then you are not part and parcel of the whole. If my one hand starts thinking I am important, its What we can do for realization? stupid. How can one hand be What we should do? This is the only important? All hands are needed, thing, if you go on with your everything is needed, legs are needed. complete emancipation, you will be How can one part be so important? If surprised that its like climbing up a you start thinking like that anywhere big mountain. But when you reach in your journey of Sahaja Yoga, then the peak, you can see everything I must say, that you are not in the very well, and you feel so satisfied Sahajavastha. So my own effort was that you are at the peak. That to take you into that beautiful arena climbing part even some of you have of Sahaja, where you will be we are going to give realization? to do it. It is all right, there is no absolutely one with your-self, one problem. You can do it. You must with the nature, one with all the have respect for yourself, love

If that is doing something great because they the life for you, its the greatest type are in the cycle. You are out of the of life.

You are much higher than you have to do. them because you are already Another cycle, not the natural cycle, butanother cycle of awareness, where you are aware as to what you are chiselled like a diamond with Sahaja style of life, which is very satisfying and also which is very much absolutely peace giving. It gives you joy, it gives you peace, it gives you capabilities, it gives you so many things that you cannot count, like the doing. At the same time you are very humble, you are very loving, you are very kind. You don't shout, you don't beat anyone. You don't say anything harsh to anyone and you can manage the most difficult persons. If thousand petals of your Sahasrara, which are enlightened.

So I said "Can amazed that with peace, wisdom will you see these elephants, everyone's come to you. You will be regarded tail is differently made." They said, as the wisest man, wisest woman, "Mummy, how do you see the because you are at peace with elephants' tails, we are so tired. I said, **You also see." Because it is the joy yourself. Only in peace you can that shifts, your mind from nonsense. discover the truth, you can discover every solution that you It is saying just nonsense. You just shift your mind. This is the way you want to. You become a very wise and sensible person, outstandingly can shift and go to the thing that is greater than others. You are not like joyous. Supposing there is a person common people. Then you have joy. who is quite boring. Then what Joy in something cannot be expressed happens, you just see the humour in words but still joy as I have told behind it, how a person bores you? you many a times, it is similar. It is And what you learn out of it is never not happiness or unhappiness. It is just bore anyone. So this joy has a joy. Just you enjoy. You enjoy speciality that it teaches you the everything, enjoy every company, every incident, every scene, every bad person, alright, still you enjoy happening in your life. You know because you say how bad it is. how to enjoy. See just joy has a great Suppose, of course if it is a good capacity. essence of joy of everything. If it is a friend, you can always see.

The way they are so sweet, so kind temperament which you have to understand and respect it. That is and so respectful! All this has helped within you, respect it. Do not me so much and I must thank you for compare it with others. Others are not that. With your support, with your at your level. So you are at a different help, with your understanding I could level and you just try to enjoy, never achieve it.

But you are just should feel is that thankfulness that like my hands, you are just like my you are not mixed up with all those eyes and I need you very much funny ideas and funny styles of life because without you I cannot do.
