Ganesh Puja 16-09-2000 15 Shri Krishna Puja 20-8-2000 29 Gudi Padawa Puja 05-04-2000 The importance of Dedication and Devotion 06-08-1982 36 Edited by Published by Yogi Mahajan V.J. Nalgirkar 162, Munirka Vihar New Delhi-110 067 Promise to Keep When an atom explodes how much devastation it causes but when a heart opens how many rivers of love flow from it. These rivers form an ocean of love. The love of a Sahaja collectivity cannot stay within itself. It has to expand and reach out to the society. It expresses its concern for others, concern for the society and human crisis. This concern is the movement of love, it is called Compassion. Compassion emanates from the goddess herself. She is worshipped as Sandra Karuna. We have been so blessed to receive her Karuna. Now we are to become the vehicles of her Karuna. In her Divine compassion she has started several projects for the needy. Recently she laid the foundation of a home for destitute women and street children. The beautiful talk she gave on that eve brought tears of compassion which entwined us with pain she felt in her heart and we promise to redeem that pain. The movement of compassion takes us to greater depths. As our attention turns towards benevolence, we think less of oursleves. Consequently the ego receives less fuel and starts subsiding. Also, our thoughts become benevolent. For instance in previous Diwalis we enjoyed bursting crackers worth five hundred rupees, so this Diwali the benevolent thought came why not give half to the NGO for street children. "Someday these street children would be able to light lamps in honour of the goddess Laxmi". The benevolent thought also brings a lot of inner joy. Like this may lights would ignite a thousand other lights. Those who have not received their realization are also street children, lost in the dark streets fo wilderness. May the light of the spirit take them to the feet of Shri Mahalaxmi Sakshat! Shri Adishakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi. Let us all contribute open heartedly to the cause taken up by our Divine Mother. The Divine Cool Breeze January-February 2001 GANESHA PUJA CABELLA, 16-09-2000 Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi understanding. So to be innocent is not possible. You have to be innocent in the sense that you are innately innocent. This happens after Sahaja Yoga, after realization and your power to fight all the wrong, negative feelings within you and without are absolutely supported, protected by the Mother of Shri Ganesha. Its difficult, Today we have gathered here to do Ganesha Puja. As you know very well that Ganesha is the symbol of purity, of sanctity so it is worshipping the innocence. When you are worshipping Shri Ganesha, you have to know that He is the embodiment of innocence. I wonder if we understand the meaning of innocence. these days, to tell somebody about innocence, but you know the life of Jesus Christ. He was innocent. He did know what sort of people were all Innocence is a quality, which is innate, which cannot be forced, which cannot be trained into. Its just a quality, innate quality within a human being. When around. He thought they were all innocent. So he was talking to them he becomes Shri Ganesha's disciple, he becomes an innocent person. in a manner that nobody who was May be, you say that innocent persons are attacked by the cunning, by the aggressive. But innocence is such a great thing that it cannot be destroyed. It is the quality of the spirit. Innocence is the quality of the spirit and when the spirit within you is awakend you get the power of innocence by which you overcome all that is negative, all that is wrong, all that is detrimental to your growth, your spiritual cunning would have done that. Because cunning always understand the cunningness of the other and say things which may not have been understood by the people. But whatever He said, had the vibrations of innocence that should have put all these people in the proper sense in a proper relationship with him. But somehow that was not the time for So the them to be realized souls. January - February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze innocence of Shri Ganesha was not non-sense that He created alcohol. What He did was to change the water into the taste of grape juice. Alcohol is called as grape juice in Hibrew language. I mean it is not called but wine means alcohol as well as grape iuice. But it cannot be. Because that we should say defeated but very much created an atmosphere of such sanctity and beauty that you can see in the life of Christ. I am happy you all have heard about marriages. Why the marriage? What is the need to have a marriage? After all these days people are living without marriage. But marriage instantly you cannot create alcohol. Alcohol takes time. It has to rot and rot and rot, then it becomes alcohol. But if Christ has made it in such a means the sanctity of marriage. Sahaja manner, spontaneously, how can it be alcohol, that is intoxicating? So many people specially in Christian religion, believe that Christ sanctified wine, which is absolutely wrong. He never sanctified alcohol. He changed Because of the sanctity of your physical, mental and emotional integration. If you do not have the sanctity and live with the person then it is not perfect marriage. The children produced will not be alright. That's the grape juice into wine taste. why the marriage is necessary and, as you know, Christ went to attend a wedding. Why did he pay so much The other day I happened to meet a person and he said, Mother please give me realization. I said alright, get me some water. They brought some attention to a wedding? Because that sanctifies your relationships with each other. Anything is alright, but water, I put my fingers into it and then relationship between husband and he tasted it and said Mother it tastes wife have to be sanctified. Otherwise like wine. I said that's it, that's what the children they produce could turn Christ had done. So there is no Sanctity of alcohol. How can you expect Christ to do something like robbers, they may be cheats, they may that by which your awareness be liers. They may be very cruel absolutely goes? Those people who people if there is no sanctity about drink, you know, are not normal out to be anything. They may be the marriage. That's why He went to people. Something goes wrong with their brains. When they drink they sanctify the marriage institution. create problems. When they are But it is absolutely wrong and The Divine Cool Breeze January-February 2001 avoiding all such things which destroy your health. So the married life is a sanctified life. Is a life which is being talking to somebody, you can make out that they are not normal. They try to be very aggressive, sometimes they blessed. Now we have priests. But I can be very passive also. Mostly they would say in Sahaja Yoga they are all blessed by me. So one should understand that this is a very big thing are very aggressive and they behave in a manner that does not behove a human being. So you must that you have got. But there are many who come and say that Mother we understand that this wine, so called, which is being fermented for days want to have divorce. We are trying to make up good marriage. All kinds of stories they tell. If you know it a together, is very wrong and against the spiritual life. All those countries where alcohol is accepted as a very sanctified marriage, a marriage which is being done under all the ceremonies of Sahaja Yoga which cannot be a bad sanctified thing are just going to dogs. Which is against Shri Ganesha, its against innocence. So such a person can become very cunning, very marriage. But if you are bad then shrewd, very dominating. All kinds nobody can help you. If you have funny ideas about marriages you should try to correct it. If you want to marry in Sahaja Yoga then please see that you respect the sanctity of of bad things can come through them. And one cannot trust a person who drinks and becomes drunkard. He can get after his wife, his children, anybody, and try to destroy their lives because he knows he is himself marriage. I know sometimes women can be destroyed. So the onething one has to understand that innocence does not bad, men can be bad. There can be problems, but a person who is wise will try to endure all that. Because he or she wants to respect the sanctity of marriage. This is a very contradictory allow you to have anything like that which goes against your awareness. Because human awareness is very important. That must be respected. thing that Christ was born without Anything that spoils your awareness, or spoils your health is all wrong, specially for Sahaja Yogis. You have to keep your health alright. How do sanctity from outside. They are you keep your health alright? By innocent and innocent people don't marriage and Ganesha was also born without marriage. They themselves are sanctity. They don't need any January - February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze the circumstances, when you are in need any kind of ritual and any kind thoughtless awareness, you do not react. That is the sign of innocence of a ceremony. That's how they have been born, absolutely pure of innocence. But that doesn't mean that and the people who do not react, keep we should take their example on young. They will never show their ourselves. They were divine age, they keep young. Because to react is not a very good thing, which personalities and they were to be born makes you get involved into another like that, while we have to be person. But if you don't react, you sanctified and lead a sanctified life. are just watching, you are just witness, This is the difference between an then you don't get involved into incarnation and a human being. It is anything. You are away from it, and that's how your innocence grows and you get very confident. I have read a easy to criticize incarnations, very simple to criticize them incarnations have been criticized by All . story about a Chinese king who went human beings, because human beings to a saint and asked himn, that he wants cannot understand them, but try to be really very pure and innocent, then some help from him, that I want my you will understand why your lives son to be developed into a person who were on a different line, on a different can face all kinds of problems. style. Now if you say, we can develop Whatever people may do, he should innocence, Mother, you can not. be able to face them. Alright, you Which is the way to become leave your son with me, so when the innocent? In Sahaja Yoga we have argument started, when the fighting proper method, how we can become started, his son was just standing innocent. It happens through our straight watching everything in thoughtless awareness. If you are in thoughtless awareness. So everybody the state of thoughtless awareness from the arena went back, they all then what happens? You don't react, went away and they could not stand do not get involved into wrong things. before the innocence of the boy who You do not get involved into any was very young. And the king was surprised how his son could face all discussions, arguments but you just of them, all their arguments, all their aggression and all kind of horrible things they said to him. If anybody watch and the innocence within you rises beautifully, like a lotus, rises out of a dirty pond. So whatever may be January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze says anything to you, you should be just innocent. find anything, they make a toy out of it. Other day we had gone to Zenova and I saw there were big blockades At that time your power of kept there. Some children came from innocence will show that this person somewhere and they just climbed on who is trying to dominate you, to trouble you, is very much in the were enjoying them. You see they find that and made horses out of it and wrong, and the person himself might realize that I am doing all these things and this person whom I am trying to anything, any space they make a joyful thing for them. A play for them. For them life is also a joyful dominate is not taking any note of it. So he feels very weak, since he has play. Just a thing of enjoyment and no power to dominate a person. So they make you also enjoy everything. as Sahaja Yogis, now we can get into If you are not in a good mood, they thoughtless awareness. Try to reduce will come and behave in such a manner that you have to come round and become a very simple, natural your reactions. Reaction to anything. People have such funny ideas about person. So to see a simple natural themselves that they react. For person you always say 'they are like children' means they do not example somebody showed me those carpets. I started watching. I was very happy, and they told me all the Sahaja understand the cunning, they do not understand the stupidity of the people Yoginis have made this with their and they live in their own world of hands, so beautifully. innocence. In the same way all the It was really so joyful to know that they have done it. But if I was a very normal person, I would have said, Oh my God! what a colour! what a thing! and like that. So whatever they have done I could have even enjoyed that. Sahaja Yogis have to develop that aura around them. Let people see you, how innocent you are? How sweet you are? No argument, no quarreling, no fighting. It is just the inner satisfaction of thoughtless awareness. Many people say that Mother we One thing the enjoyment is lost. For cannot become thoughtless. Why? Why cannot you become thoughtless? a child enjoyment is complete. Whatever he sees, he enjoys. Makes joyful thing out of it. Look at the children. I have seen children, they Gradually stop reacting, introspect Because all the time you want to react. January-February 2001 7. The Divine Cool Breeze something which is absolute honest intelligence. It is not which works for yourself, see for yourself. If you are all the time trying to react, tell your mind to behave itself. If there is any reaction, just don't say anything, keep quite. Gradually you will be amazed and surprised how you become thoughtlessly aware! How beautiful you become and everybody who sees you, will know that you are something different. You are not like the normal some purpose but it is purposeless. It is absolutely purposeless and thus it achieves that height of joy because there is no purpose in anything. It sees the futility of all kinds of endeavors that we have. It just enjoys, why people are running up and down, why are they fighting! Just stands up and persons. But the normal reaction of a human being is that if there is a sees, why should they don't like that? Some may think that they are quarrel going on in the street, everybody will join the quarrel. They alright, there is nothing wrong in them like to fight. They want to be the part but its not so. Innocence is something, and parcel of that fight or quarrel. as I have told an innate quality, and They don't want to get out of it. At you should not deceive yourself by that time if you just have your thinking you are innocent. innocence, that will act. On the contrary you just put some introspection upon yourself and see for yourself what have I been doing I told you that innocence is the spirit and the spirit is the innocence, which cannot be destroyed by so far as far as others are concerned? What is your attitude? I have already anything. The fact is that it cannot be destroyed by anything and it can talked to you about emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the expression of innocence. It is the be reestablished through Sahaja Yoga. You might have been a very aggressive person. You might have expression of Shri Ganesha Children been a very unhappy person. You who are gifted with this will always try to please you. They know what you want, what you need. They will give all the joy that you want. They will do all the things that you like, just to please you. They don't want to have their own demands. They might have been a person who is all the time disturbing others. Maybe, but after Sahaja Yoga you can make your personality so sweet and beautiful, that not only you can enjoy but others can also enjoy. This innocence is 8 January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze look at him, he does not eat like a never say I want this, you do for me. Never. They only want to see what horse. So they are so innocent that sometimes they say things by which you are exposed completely. There are so many jokes about it and if you write some books, writing the jokes of children, I tell you, people will just enjoy. Because so innocently they say things which are nothing but the truth. you want. What do you want to have? And they put all the effort to supply you with that. Its very interesting how the children behave towards others, elders. Just like I would say a great understanding like very elderly innocence you So in personality. become extremely grown up, They cannot tell lies. They are so truthful that is the quality of matured. Very matured. With that innocence. They never tell lies. You maturity you know what this person needs and what the other person did this? Ya, I did. You didn't do this? should not have, and the way they No I did not do. They never tell lies. It is the grown ups who teach them establish is very interesting. Children how to tell lies, how to be cheating. are the most interesting things, I think in the world. For me roses are Then we teach our children another beautiful but children are the most bad thing that you must possess interesting thing and they teach you so many things that you are surprised at their innocence. So many jokes are everything, specially in the West it is a thing they do. They tell their child that this is yours, you should not give it to anyone. This is your own. On the contrary we should tell them, you there about the children. How they behave, how they talk and they are can do what you like. Leave it to their innocence. You will be amazed they will give away everything that they have. In such a beautiful manner they will behave that you will be amazed, so innocent that they will tell everything to everyone. They have no way of hiding anything. Very difficult I know one joke when a gentleman came to the house for dinner. So the how they try to please everyone and try to do something to entertain! All their capacity of this is so great that child was looking at him very intensely and then he said, mother he does not eat like a horse as you told me. So everybody was shocked. He sometimes one wonders how these little things have developed this does not eat like a horse. Mother must capacity. have told that he eats like a horse. So 00 The Divine Cool Breeze January-February 2001 It is the blessing of Shri Ganesha. It is His blessing that children are so you, is trying to harm you, is trying to put you down. Nobody can put very sweet and so much entertaining down the innocent. and so beautiful. Try to become like Innocence is the quality that them. You have to be like them. You survives all kinds of non-sense and might have read many books, you might have got lots of degrees, you might be something great, but you are not only that but age, health, your mind, your thinking. If your emotions are extremely innocent then you not childlike. You have to be a child like person. Otherwise no one likes enjoy yourself. Now-a-days there is a big way of shamelessness. The your company. We will call them bores. But I think boring comes to the people who have no innocence at all. people I have seen they have no lajja I don't know, some men want to attract women and some women want They are trying to tell you, you must to attract men. Children never do like do this. If you want to be successful that. They don't know what is this to you do that. All these lectures are useless for children. In the same way attract men or to attract women or to attract anyone. They will try to please the dog, try to please a horse but I it should be within your own understanding that this all nonsense have never seen they will go all out they are talking. to attract someone. The reason is that As the children don't care for what their self-esteem is complete. They you suggest to them, to be nasty, to know about themselves fully. So why be horried, in the same way if you should they do all this nonsense of are innocent, you will not accept. You running after women, running after may listen to anything. Let them tell men and creating problems for what they want to. Does not matter. themselves. You never do that. Because you Their self esteem in complete. cannot, because you are innocent and the innocence will guard you. It will Innocence is like that. It gives you give you proper guidance, what is to complete self-esteem. You do not be done, what is not be done. Now bow to anyone, nor you make anybody else bow. This is the beauty of innocence which works out, so well within you. That's why I always say try to introspect and see for yourself. are you innocent or not? People think that somebody is trying to overpower January - February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze 10 basic as you can see is the respect that worship Shri Ganesha. I know of somebody who was very highly of your innocence in every manner. placed and suddenly I was surprised Like when you have to get angry how he was paralysed! What with somebody or something, the happened? He was very good man, best way is to keep quite or else you how he was paralysed? Then I found must respect your tongue, respect out that he had very bad intentions your eyes. Some people have a very about women and that's how he got bad habit of looking at women or this problem. So I thought its better some women are like that. They to worship Shri Ganesha. Worship don't respect their eyes. Then they Shri Ganesha, worshipping of Shri develop the problems of the eyes, Ganesha improves your mooladhara, not only that but mind also. Mind improves your sense of shame, gets so much ruined by that kind of improves your own dignity, your self esteem. You dress up in a way that shows that you respect your body. You talk in such a way that it shows behavior that it has no sense, which cannot enjoy anything. Such person cannot enjoy anything. If you are a person who respects your eyes, your that you respect your tongue, your nose, your ears, I tell you that you language. You cannot have a foul will be amazed that everything is so mouth if you are in Sahaja Yoga. enjoyable. In this world there are so You cannot have a mind that can many things that can be enjoyed. But people cannot hear anything that is abuse and say horrible words. I have seen in America, they talk in such a good. There are birds, who are funny manner, that you are shocked. There is no need to use these dirty words to express yourself. With that your tongue is spoiled. So innocence chirping, they cannot hear. There are trees which are growing, they cannot see or flowers which are fragrant, they cannot smell. Because they are is gone from your tongue. If you have lost innocence from your Because they are very low level tongue, whatever you say will never people, I should say, who cannot so much low in their self-esteem. come true, will never come true. enjoy everything around. And they But if you are innocent and your should be the source of enjoyment. tongue is innocent then everything See children how they are source of that you say will come true. So the enjoyment. Anybody who comes on January - February 2001 11 The Divine Cool Breeze the stage and runs about, how we normally they are always guided by their innocence. Whether you are enjoy! Why? Why do we enjoy a child running about? We don't say aware of it or not its such a sweet he has gone amock or he is drunk. thing, such a sweet thing that it makes people rise in their nobleness in their But we enjoy the child, why? That is greatness and that is what we have to the sweetness of the child that make develop within us as Sahaja Yogis. Sahaja Yogis go anywhere, try to do us so happy, because that innocence, his power is innocence. With that anything, meet anybody, any social work, anything, people should feel that joy that you have within you. For power, he is just looking so sweet, so beautiful, that it gives us the real joy within us. that joy only the Adi Shakti created So the second thing is that Shri Ganesha. Because that joy innocence is joy giving. Innocence within, that innocent joy, does not gives joy to people. Anything said innocently, anything done innocently is very very joy giving and in that you harm anybody. It does not expect anything, it does not demand anything, it does not want anything. see the person, so transparent, so beautiful that you enjoy that But just emitting joy all over. That sort of personality you should have. There is nothing wrong in wearing transparency and that sanctifies in a way. That's why Ganesha in good dresses, nothing wrong in eating worshipped first. Ganesha was the good food, nothing wrong in having conversation. But in all that, it is the first deity that was created by Adi Shakti. Because if she has to create respect of the innocence, the something she must know that there expression of innocence should be has to be power of innocence. there. With this innocence we can Otherwise people will go wrong and do all kinds of wrong things. So first solve the problems. All the problems of the world can be solved. That's She created Ganesha, whose why Shri Ganesha in so important. innocence you can call, the vibrations. If you do not have he proper are so strong that it controls. Of understanding of Shri Ganesha and if course there are people who abandon your Shri Ganesha is in a jeopardy, I don't know what can happen to you! completely their innocence and just think no end of themselves. Just These days you see so many horrible forget about them.

But if there is really a problem, Alright in Sahaja Yoga are not sanctified. Their relationships are not sanctified. we have allowed divorce. Not Every relationship has to be Catholic Church. They don't allow sanctified with your innocence. Like you have a sister, you have mother, you have a brother, you have father. You have all the relationships which divorce. So men have all kinds of relationships and women have all kinds of relationships That's not there. Instead of doing all kinds of are so good, so beautiful and sanctified because there is the should be very innocent happening. non-sense you have divorce. But it relationship of innocence. If you are divorcing a person because You love your father out of your innocence is challenged, its innocence and you love your daughter alright. There I agree with you, you out of innocence, you love your should have. So preserve your mother out of innocence. Why should innocence. In these modern times it is very important to preserve your you love? For some sort of a overpowering, then its cunning. Its innocence that Shri Ganesha should just love for love's sake. That's be awakened within you and also in other people. That is going to save possible if you are innocent. So now this world. Nothing else but the I am happy. Tomorrow you are all innocence, that you have is going to going to get married and these people save the world. who are getting married should Whatever you may know, whatever you may say, whatever you may write, please see that you are not hurting the innocence within understand that it's a sanctified marriage. So very important. Its not like any other marriage. This marriage is taking place in my presence. So be you. Its not necessary to live a life careful. If you do not want to marry, alright, finish it. You are given a of immorality, this that. What is needed is your innocence. Innocence chance to know that person or itself gives your moral strength, understand. But afterwards if you try moral understanding. You don't have to be funny then its going to be very to read books; you don't have to go difficult for you and for me. I may to any guru for that. Innocence will give up having marriages. So I don't guide you and tell you that this is January -February 2001 13 The Divine Cool Breeze I did not give any lecture to the girls, what it is, Sahaja. This is what you have to have. You all have got I think it is more responsibility of realization. This is very big thing that the men to make their marriage has happened to you people. I successful. Men have to understand always want you to worship Shri Ganesha within you. Shri Ganesha is your innocence. It is the spirit. When you want to know your spirit, should be given to marriage. The way it is Shri Ganesha. You become one that marriage is a very important part of their life. At due time respect you care for your wife from the very beginning helps you a lot. From the with Shri Ganesha. It is within you and it is absolutely very first day be careful and not to possible for all of you to be completely enlightened by the power of Shri Ganesha.

But even now if you say no, its not just a joke. Specially in Sahaja better to finish it off. But don't try Yoga you should understand that any tricks. Don't try to be funny marriage is a very important thing by because it is not be going to help which you are a couple which is you in any way to enjoy your sanctified, and they carry the marriage. On the very first day try responsibility of making the Sahaja misunderstand. She comes from an other country. So she has her own up to understand that you have to be very kind, to your partner. Very Yoga very successful. Sahaja Yoga is respectful, very caring, very loving. a great thing because it can transform That's a very important thing which the whole world into a very beautiful people don't understand and take place and you are responsible for that. for granted. So I have heard that because it is Sahaja Marriage so responsibility as a great person who people take it for granted. No. Never is the sort of head of the family. take it for granted. If you want to Yesterday I told you that I don't have real joy then have innocent believe in divorce. I expect you to be love within yourself and enjoy you very good husbands who will give all As men you should understand your life. love, all affection and all care to their wives. In Sahaja Yoga men and May God Bless you. Thank you. women are absolutely equal, may 14 January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze not be similar but absolutely equal Yoga. She is coming from another family, another country, another atmosphere. So try to make her understand and make her adjustable. and they are complimentary to each other. You should not think that your life is the most important and that your wife is something negligible. I So don't try to find faults with her have seen most of the marriages in but make her feel comfortable and Sahaja Yoga are successful and they happy that she can grow in Shaja have nice children also. Marriages Yoga very well. And your children only fail when there is play of ego. must respect, the mother absolutely. As you respect, your children should also respect their mother. I assure you, you are going to have a very nice time That is more with men than in women and that can ruin your life, life of your wife and chidren. Women are sensible but they can if you are sensible about your tolerate up to a point. So we should marriage. There is no force in Sahaja see how much wisdom you should Yoga, you have decided to marry in have to make a good family. That is Sahaja Yoga. So the marriage has what we need. In good families only taken place. I have not told anything we will have good children and to ladies becausee they are so universal Sahaja Yoga. So please do sensible; so anxious and looking for not have expectations about your the future. I think always men should self but about your wife, what she try to understand the responsibility of wants, what her desires are, what marriage then women. Innately the her needs are. You must look after women understand that it is important that side, as your responsibility. You are not marrying for marriage sake but you have responsibility. At least 95% Sahaja Yoga marriages are that their married life should be successful, but I have found sometimes that men have taken them for granted. It should not be such. For successful and very beautiful she does everything for you with love and affection. It must be appreciated. children are born to Sahaja Yogis. who are sensible but if you have any You should appreciate. This is the problem you must tell me. only way you can show your love to Sahaja Yoga is one big global family. So you have also the responsibility to the whole organization of Sahaja her. You know, in Sahaja Yoga we cont'd on page 28 The Divine Cool Breeze 15 January-February 2001 SHRI KRISHNA PUJA CABELLA, 20-08-2000 (Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi) Today, we are here to worship Shri self-realization! It is to know God Krishna within us. As you know that you all have been seeking, before coming to Sahaja Yoga. You went to different places, read lots of books and also some of you were lost. And in that seeking, perhaps you did not or the Goddess. That is the purpose of self realization. But after getting self realization what should happen to you? Many of you have lost interest in nonsensical things like drugs and all those things. You have lost interest in reading useless books. know that you were seeking. What you were seeking was to know You have lost interest in other habits yourself. In all religions it is said *Know Thyself, It is a common enough, that's not enough. That thing, all of them have said. This is could happen in any way. What has one point which is absolutely there, to happen by knowing God is that, in every religion, "Know Thyself". why does God wants you to know Because without knowing yourself him? Because He wants to see his like drinking and all that. That's not you will not know God. You will not reflection in you He wants to see know spirituality. His reflection. That's why He has created you So the first step was to know yourself and for that people did all kinds of and He wants to see his reflection in tricks with you, they taught you in you. Same with the Goddess. She the different ways and tried to has given you self-realization, actually loot you and cheat you.

If you are not I have heard of some people who creative what's the use of self- lived in a room for twenty eight years realization? What is the greatest to get self-realization. Why they lived like that because they thought that by keeping away from other people or the bad atmosphere, everything, they might get realization. They never got creative thing you can do very easily is to make others Sahaja Yogis. The easiest and most joy giving thing is to make others Sahaja Yogis and give them the blessings of the Divine which they have been seeking from it. So one must understand though the ages. By giving them you don't you have got it so easily, it is January - February 2001 21 The Divine Cool Breeze something so precious, so great. Its "I like other's children, not mine. not very easy to get self-realization. Just imagine! How can you be doing You read about the people who are that? How can you say such a thing, self realized. Perhaps they didn't even you don't like your own children! know how they got it.

So they all used to take water in a cheat people or steal something. It is out of question. Because there is container, call it as 'Kavad' and would take it all the way to Gujrat no greed left in him. There is no to a temple of Shri Krishna. That greed at all and that is why such a was regarded as a great surrendering person who is a realized soul, cannot to Shri Krishna. So that saint also be guilty. Has to be extremely carried the water in the container generous. I have seen many people like that who have been extremely called Kavad'. All the way he generous and who have been very understanding about the problems of carried it, from his village in Maharashtra and when he reached the others. While a Sahaja Yogi who has temple at the foot hill of that temple, he saw a donkey very thirsty, dying his own problems is not a Sahaja out of thirst. So he gave that water to Yogi at all. You are there to solve that donkey. Everybody said, the problems of others and not to imagine, you have brought this water solve his own problems and go about from miles together, for days together talking about, this is the problem to be poured on the deity here and have. Now this is the new word that has developed in modern times. We have never used this word 'problem' now you have given it to this donkey! He said you don't know before, I tell you. Only for geometry we used this word 'problem'. But God has come all the way down here to take the water. See the attitude of now it has started. They say there that person! So for a self-realized person the compassion should be there is no problem'. They are all in like this, of very generous nature. a problem.

It was the He was Virata but He showed His respect of Vidur, who was a realized form only to Arjuna and on one else. soul. Respecting other Sahaja Yogis. Because nobody was like Arjuna. If a Sahaja Yogi respects somebody Arjuna also got a fright when he saw who is a governor, I cann't it. So he lived like Shri Krishna, understand. The spirit is above like a cow-boy. He was living in Gokul and He never showed off his everything and does not respect a Sahaja Yogi if there is something powers. His powers were within wrong with him.

The way goddess Shakambhari manifested in Meerut kingdom of Parama Chaitanya Adi District. She increases prodctivity of crops. When I was in Meerut I also used to produce vegetables. Such big Shakti incarnated in the form of a cow. That is the reason we do not kill cows. She is the mother. Lot of difference is there in Indian and size of brinzals, tomatoes and foreign cows. I remember, my grand daughter used to say, "Nani why the cucumbers that one could not beleive! This is the power of Goddess Shakambhari. Goddess has different colour of buffaloes here in the West is white. Treta and Dwaper Yuga were forms and names and sometimes not the time for Adishakti to people are confused about them. But incarnate. She was to come in she manifests herself according to the Kaliyuga with all the Devis and need of the particular area. Durga and The Divine Cool Breeze 31 January February 2001 Chamunda and many others are her should children take birth where there different forms. The way different is no motherhood? deities manifest themselves to do certain thing, similarly the Goddess About India, I think, that men should love and respect the women. Maybe manifests herself as their power after sometime India is considered to Shakti. Without 'the Shakti no deity could work out things, whether it is be the ultiamte guide for spiritualism. incarnation of Rama, Krishna, Jesus But the condition of women in India, Christ or anyone else. All of them had particularly in Northern part of it is a Goddess as their power (Shakti). very miserable. Respect of women is That is the reason so much out of question there. Quite frequently they are beaten up. And then the importance and respect is given to dowry system is there to torture the mother in our country. Indians are women. Men always try to show down the women and prove himself worshippers of Shakti, irrespective of all the difference and problems. They superior which he actually is not. The are the worshippers of Shakti. countries, where women are insulted, Those who follow Vishnu or Shiva perish and same is the case of the are also worshippers of Shakti country where no respect is given to COLuntry because Shakti is the mother and the mother. So women are not to be behaved like that. But at the same mother belongs to all. Mother is a very significant institution in our time men should not run after the country. So we should always respect women. Men and women are no the mother. The women in our doubt equal but they are not similar. But I have seen in north India. There is absolutely no respect of women and they are tortured. They are harassed country are not so much spoiled. They know the qualities that earn respect for the mother and help produce the nice children. Those ladies who have in every way. We are trying to change no respect for motherhood, do not get the condition of women in India. Lot children. It is the case in Germany, of work needs to be done in that America and some other European direction. If the people of this country countries. The women there do not develop creativity in them, our Bharat have motherly love in them. Of Bhumi will flourish and become they understanding this factor now. Why have started Shasya Shyamalam. No new legislations are needed for this. With course January - February 2001 32 The Divine Cool Breeze in ourselves we have to realise that develop your powers then you will understand it immediately. About women are the shaktis.

But generally men meditation is important. There is dominate the women. If men have no other way. Big pujas and bhajans superior brains, the women have loving hearts. So she should be meditate and introspect. Why am I understood and respected, as long as doing it? What is the purpose. We she behaves like Shakti. Spoiled should be ourselves and not others. women could not be respected. So There will be no use of that. You have women must have divine qualities. to correct yourself. If you want to have no significance. We should correct others then you have to watch Such women could be denounced but yourself. What am I doing? Why am I thinking like that? Why such things come in my brain? You have to watch yourself and look at others with love. sometimes it is seen that dominating women are worshiped and nice ladies are harassed. Sahaja Yogis have to become wonderful consorts. Between themselves they should have love and understanding, only then Sahaja Yoga will grow. Our heart should be full of love for others. You have to see that I love and forgive others. Many forms of the Devi are described So there are two things, one is in our scriptures. There is absolutely meditation and the other one is no error in it. But to understand its introspection. These are the two depth, one has to grow deep in Sahaja methods of human growth. In Yoga.

But people keep running, running and running. They have no time to enjoy whatever is available. When Sahaja state comes, all the not yet come to take the people to absolute truth.

Today we have to be determined that My blessing to you all. 36 January - February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze THE IMPORTANCE OF DEDICATION AND DEVOTION Nirmala Palace, London 6 Aug. 1982 Today I will talk to you about the so stunned. It is beyond you, it's importance of Dedication in Sahaja fantastic, it is too much. It is really Yoga, and the Devotion that one beyond you. should have. Now think of it. "You have got Actually when we are close to realisation." Can you believe it that mountain, we can not see much of it, you can, in your life time you can get and that's why we don't realise the selfrealization? If somebody had told volume that is so close to us, the you this, you would never have greatness that is facing us. This is one believed it, that how can you get your of the illusions that works out, for realisation in this birth? Of course, people who do not realise it mentally you were seeking, because people what they are in for, where are they, were saying you have to seek, also what have they found, what is self- you felt you have to seek, but you realisation, what is its magnitude, how never thought that this will materialize far they have to go, why are they like this, that you will get your chosen, what is their purpose of life, realization. how far they have come up, how far Then after getting realisation, you they can understand?. All these things are beyond the grasp, and one gets could not feel "What it was". As if stunned. One does not know what has you have been dropped into the ocean happened to him when he gọt and you do not know what is the realisation actually. dimension of this ocean, how far you have gone into it, what is it, where That's why, to understand this is only possible if you can understand how to dedicate yourself, how to devote are we, what is our purpose?" To add up to all the mess, we become thoughtless! So you cannot even find out as to rationally what it is. yourself. If you want to analyse anything on the basis of your nationality, you are So the immensity of this experience, the glory of your Mother's coming, January-February 2001 37 The Divine Cool Breeze or the precious gift of your self- realization, nothing can be realised through your understanding? Can you understand what has happened? No, you cannot. Because rationality granted. You are harassing yourself by accepting that forgiveness. If you think all the time "O, Mother you a so forgiving, please forgive me". You are already forgiven, as it is. Once you call me Mother, I have forgiven. But re cannot give you the dimensions into what you have fallen now. The what is the advantage? You do not have any advantage out of it. You are a loser. And this point atleast rationally if you understand, then you will understand what is Devotion. rationality is actually broken up. There is no rationality left now anymore to even communicate as to what you have been seeking and where have you landed. So, in Devotion of Sahaja Yoga, one has to realise that the things that are in Sahaja Yoga, that you have seen in Sahaja Yoga, are beyond your mind, first thing. Definitely they are beyond human conception. So on human level you do not discuss them, and So the only method you have got now, or only way is left to you, for a drop which has become an ocean, is to dissolve those in the ocean, so that you feel the ocean at least. And to communicate with other drops in such you do not talk about it. But on the a way that you know the whole collective level you can talk. through all of them. So first is a complete Devotion, it is And when you come to the collective very important. In this incarnation level, then you have to understand that relationship with me is more established, better established, if you only it is so very important, because you have got realization. If you did not have realisation" Alright, establish your' relationship with murmuring souls, alright. Half baked others, in a very collective and people, alright. Little misbehaving, alright. This can be bit homogeneous way. forgiven, that can be forgiven. As I told you, the drop becomes the everybody thinks that Mother is ocean, and the drop has to become forgiving us. But that is not the point. the ocean by dissolving all its drop- ness with other drops. And all the I am forgiving because of my own drops dropping their dropness nature. But 'you' do not take it for become the ocean ultimately. 38 January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze allow them, they can not be there. No So we see that Devotion is double evil person is your enemy, because he cannot be effective if you are edged. One is to each other, and one is to your Mother. spiritually equipped. So, you are your own enemy, is decided. The only way to get rid of that enemy of yours, is In Sahaja Yoga, whatever I see, you can not see. This is proved or not, to you people? Or do you want more that you have to Dedicate. proofs? Now it is proved that Mother sees much beyond us, and whatever Supposing you say that I have faith she sees, happens. So anybody who in Mother, or in God, so you are tries to play tricks with Mother, is holding on to something, is not it? actually playing tricks with himself. And you are discarding something. *Any tricks you try to play with me, But this hold has to be 'very' strong. or you think that Mother is very Rationally at that time when you are forgiving. So she will forgive us, - sinking, will you rationalize whether, 'really' you are torturing yourself, you "Ishould hold the hand of this person are - it is detrimental to you. 11 who is saving, is correct or not." No, your grip will be very strong. It will Many people are there who will say that, 'It is my left Swadhishthana. Some will say, "I was possessed, there be extremely strong and you will grip it with 'full-force, with full faith that somehow or the other save me. was bhoot." Somebody will blame something else. Whatever you are blaming, actually who is asking you the explanation? It is only you asking yourself. You are not facing yourself. And that kind of a feeling should be within us, that "I am a person who is sinking because of myself. And if I am to be saved. I have to be Absolutely 'completely' submerged So the devotion to me means actually facing yourself. You face your self first of all, and see for yourself what in Sahaja Yoga 'Absolutely I have to be one with it. Then only I can be saved." are you doing. Because at this level, where you are realized souls of a higher level, now for a next jump - as I was saying to you- is Devotion. Anything else has be secondary, under the You are your own enemy. No body is your enemy. Your Mother is not, definitely. She is not your enemy, by any chance. And no bhoots are your enemies, in the way, if you do not to 39 January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze circumstances. If it is primary and psychology. She might be insecure, Mother." This is typically somewhere your attention is still on that, then you cannot have this second jump. read in the book-" because of insecurity somebody does that." Actually now we have seen in Sahaja First jump you have already had, you Yoga, that most of the so called unsecured are the 'most' aggressive have got your realizatioin. But from first jump to second jump, you have to work hard. You have come to the second jump. In the second jump you haye to face it up. You should not feel disgusted with yourself, nor dejected people. They play tricks with others, spoil their lives, and enjoy it. They are the greatest sadists ever born. You have seen those people. And that is with yourself, nothing. But treat yourself as a separate entity. how they play tricks with themselves. Now once you understand that you And Dedication is actually turning back to yourself and looking forward towards the Divine personality in you. are not to play tricks with yourself. Why do you want to play tricks with yourself? Why do you want to play Once there is Divine personality in you, there is no problem of Devotion. You will just become one with it, you tricks with yourself? You have to be yourself, that's all. We should not be our own enemies. Are we? start enjoying it. So once you start facing yourself, you will like yourself. You would not feel But this rationality is the worst thing. that plays tricks with you, which disgusted. Because that is your self I deviates you from understanding that am talking about - is glorious, is whatever life you have led so far has beautiful, is "without' any Kalanka nien (blemish) on that, is absolutely been a very material, gross life.

Try to avoid rationality, try to avoid Detach yourself. arguments. Try to avoid giving reasons. Even now I find sometimes Sahaja Yogis give an explanation of One gentleman came to see me in my house. I had a very beautiful lamp, 40 January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze and he liked it. I said, you (can) have you, once you are a master, you play tricks with them. it." He was so amazed, you see. His wife telephone to me, "How could it So many times I have seen. I have said so many things, and then again after be? How could you give away such a nice lamp?" I said, "What is there? sometime, people start talking about it. Within scientific proof or things like that, you have seen that, many a t times it has happened. Am I going to carry it with me when I die? Is it going to go with me? Just see rationally. If he has liked it, let him have it. I have so many lamps in the house, if he takes one how does it Now when I say something I am sure matter?" She said, "But you see I about it, what I say, I never say asked my husband, will you give this lamp like this, if you have, to her? He said, no, I would not. I really. would not, he said. He was very anything but the Truth. I know that I am saying only the truth. But I do not go inside and find out, whether it is truth or not. I don't read a book to honest, he said, I would not. But still find out. I do not ask you. I have faith in myself, 'full faith' in myself. Whatever I say is the truth, I know I cannot understand, why not? So, you know till the last end we are holding on to something 'very' little there. for definite that whatever I say comes out truth. But that is not your case. If this, even a little bit is holding the That is not your case, that whatever saree, you know that, that can holo the whole saree. Even a little bit is you say is the truth. So first is to establish that state, that whatever I say attaching to this saree, the saree can be held back. The whole thing you will be the truth. can hold it, with one little pin. Now how do you do it? The tongue should be such, that whatever you say should be the truth. Ultimately it will come out as truth. And that is why the Dedication should All these small pins that are there the hangs up, are to be denied, to be seen going further. Look at yourself, "Oh that's Mr. Ego, alright. Now let me see how do you go back"- To see all those things. You see, as a play you be there. What Dedication: "Why should I tell should see yourself. And then play lies?" - There is no need to tell lies. tricks with your ego and super ego. Even if I tell lies, it will come truth, Actually they are playing tricks with 41 The Divine Cool Breeze January-February 2001 (faai); tejas, sharpness of light. That 'tejasvita' is there, sharpness of light. That is the proof of your truth" in my case, so called lies. They are 'never' lies. If I say to somebody, he is a bad man, apparently to you. "Oh You are not afraid of any Prime Mother, he is such a fine man! How can you say such a thing about him? Minister or any Minister, or any king, or anyone. But "This is the fact. This is the thing I know. I am a realized soul, I am the truth." If you say," I am the truth," whatever you will say We had one Mr. Michael like that. "Oh, he is such a loving person, Mother "Somebody said, Mother, are you jealous of him? - upto that extent you know!

So to develop that kind of But for that a real purification is understanding about the truth, first of needed about facing yourself fully, in all you should absolutely fix yourself Dedication means, you are holding on on the truth.

You would not believe, but it is so. Like, the wick and the oil combine to form the light, it is the burning of the oil gives you the light, in the same way If you have to grow, then you must store that compassion within. the compassion gives you the truth.

So from the source of compassion, you get giving to others. Otherwise you will your compassion. be stagnated. There has to be outflow. You see, I have seen people who want to have compassion from me; they want that I should love them. But reflect it back; do they love others like that? I have known people, say for one person says harsh things to other But that is a very hard thing, because people are very good at taking compassion from Mother. Or even if they are compassionate, they will be mostly compassionate to people who January - February 2001 44 The Divine Cool Breeze are, say, in Viet Nam, not in the Now the basic thing is, that our Ashram. They are more worried Compassion, if that is flowing, then about Viet Nam people, you know. only can we get compassion from "Oh Mother! We are worried about Mother.

So the compassion has to be there, that. But as far as compassion is and unless and until you develop concerned, as married people, you much more passionate fatherly or motherly have feeling for others... I mean I am the compassionate. But you will only be to worry about your 'own children, about your 'own comfort, about your "own' husband, about your own mother of a person who is about a hundred and eight years of age. You have to really mother others, and have that feeling of compassion and love wife'. In Sahaja Yoga, there is no for others. You don't have to think place for such people. It is all about your own comfort, you don't collective. When you bring sweets for have to think about your advantages, your own child, bring for other children in the Ashram. You are one but you have to think about the family and all the family has to move with the same waves. I have told you before that we cannot have separate comfort of others.

You are not playing tricks with your marriages, you are trying to involve somebody else, thinking that Mother purpose behind it. Only this will give you something that is of permanent nature, of a 'sthayi' () nature. You have seen people as I was telling in the morning, who have gone to an would forgive you and all that.

It is not natural for anybody else. Other people who talk of compassion or this and that are actually not at all plant, but also, as the source of the plant.

These rivers form an ocean of love. The love of a Sahaja collectivity cannot stay within itself. It has to expand and reach out to the society. It expresses its concern for others, concern for the society and human crisis. This concern is the movement of love, it is called Compassion. Compassion emanates from the goddess herself. She is worshipped as Sandra Karuna. We have been so blessed to receive her Karuna. Now we are to become the vehicles of her Karuna. In her Divine compassion she has started several projects for the needy. Recently she laid the foundation of a home for destitute women and street children. The beautiful talk she gave on that eve brought tears of compassion which entwined us with pain she felt in her heart and we promise to redeem that pain. The movement of compassion takes us to greater depths. As our attention turns towards benevolence, we think less of oursleves. Consequently the ego receives less fuel and starts subsiding. Also, our thoughts become benevolent. For instance in previous Diwalis we enjoyed bursting crackers worth five hundred rupees, so this Diwali the benevolent thought came why not give half to the NGO for street children. "Someday these street children would be able to light lamps in honour of the goddess Laxmi". The benevolent thought also brings a lot of inner joy. Like this may lights would ignite a thousand other lights. Those who have not received their realization are also street children, lost in the dark streets fo wilderness. May the light of the spirit take them to the feet of Shri Mahalaxmi Sakshat! Shri Adishakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi. Let us all contribute open heartedly to the cause taken up by our Divine Mother. 2001_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-3.txt The Divine Cool Breeze January-February 2001 GANESHA PUJA CABELLA, 16-09-2000 Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi understanding. So to be innocent is not possible. You have to be innocent in the sense that you are innately innocent. This happens after Sahaja Yoga, after realization and your power to fight all the wrong, negative feelings within you and without are absolutely supported, protected by the Mother of Shri Ganesha. Its difficult, Today we have gathered here to do Ganesha Puja. As you know very well that Ganesha is the symbol of purity, of sanctity so it is worshipping the innocence. When you are worshipping Shri Ganesha, you have to know that He is the embodiment of innocence. I wonder if we understand the meaning of innocence. these days, to tell somebody about innocence, but you know the life of Jesus Christ. He was innocent. He did know what sort of people were all Innocence is a quality, which is innate, which cannot be forced, which cannot be trained into. Its just a quality, innate quality within a human being. When around. He thought they were all innocent. So he was talking to them he becomes Shri Ganesha's disciple, he becomes an innocent person. in a manner that nobody who was May be, you say that innocent persons are attacked by the cunning, by the aggressive. But innocence is such a great thing that it cannot be destroyed. It is the quality of the spirit. Innocence is the quality of the spirit and when the spirit within you is awakend you get the power of innocence by which you overcome all that is negative, all that is wrong, all that is detrimental to your growth, your spiritual cunning would have done that. Because cunning always understand the cunningness of the other and say things which may not have been understood by the people. But whatever He said, had the vibrations of innocence that should have put all these people in the proper sense in a proper relationship with him. But somehow that was not the time for So the them to be realized souls. 2001_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-4.txt January - February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze innocence of Shri Ganesha was not non-sense that He created alcohol. What He did was to change the water into the taste of grape juice. Alcohol is called as grape juice in Hibrew language. I mean it is not called but wine means alcohol as well as grape iuice. But it cannot be. Because that we should say defeated but very much created an atmosphere of such sanctity and beauty that you can see in the life of Christ. I am happy you all have heard about marriages. Why the marriage? What is the need to have a marriage? After all these days people are living without marriage. But marriage instantly you cannot create alcohol. Alcohol takes time. It has to rot and rot and rot, then it becomes alcohol. But if Christ has made it in such a means the sanctity of marriage. Sahaja manner, spontaneously, how can it be alcohol, that is intoxicating? So many people specially in Christian religion, believe that Christ sanctified wine, which is absolutely wrong. He never sanctified alcohol. He changed Because of the sanctity of your physical, mental and emotional integration. If you do not have the sanctity and live with the person then it is not perfect marriage. The children produced will not be alright. That's the grape juice into wine taste. why the marriage is necessary and, as you know, Christ went to attend a wedding. Why did he pay so much The other day I happened to meet a person and he said, Mother please give me realization. I said alright, get me some water. They brought some attention to a wedding? Because that sanctifies your relationships with each other. Anything is alright, but water, I put my fingers into it and then relationship between husband and he tasted it and said Mother it tastes wife have to be sanctified. Otherwise like wine. I said that's it, that's what the children they produce could turn Christ had done. So there is no Sanctity of alcohol. How can you expect Christ to do something like robbers, they may be cheats, they may that by which your awareness be liers. They may be very cruel absolutely goes? Those people who people if there is no sanctity about drink, you know, are not normal out to be anything. They may be the marriage. That's why He went to people. Something goes wrong with their brains. When they drink they sanctify the marriage institution. create problems. When they are But it is absolutely wrong and 2001_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-5.txt The Divine Cool Breeze January-February 2001 avoiding all such things which destroy your health. So the married life is a sanctified life. Is a life which is being talking to somebody, you can make out that they are not normal. They try to be very aggressive, sometimes they blessed. Now we have priests. But I can be very passive also. Mostly they would say in Sahaja Yoga they are all blessed by me. So one should understand that this is a very big thing are very aggressive and they behave in a manner that does not behove a human being. So you must that you have got. But there are many who come and say that Mother we understand that this wine, so called, which is being fermented for days want to have divorce. We are trying to make up good marriage. All kinds of stories they tell. If you know it a together, is very wrong and against the spiritual life. All those countries where alcohol is accepted as a very sanctified marriage, a marriage which is being done under all the ceremonies of Sahaja Yoga which cannot be a bad sanctified thing are just going to dogs. Which is against Shri Ganesha, its against innocence. So such a person can become very cunning, very marriage. But if you are bad then shrewd, very dominating. All kinds nobody can help you. If you have funny ideas about marriages you should try to correct it. If you want to marry in Sahaja Yoga then please see that you respect the sanctity of of bad things can come through them. And one cannot trust a person who drinks and becomes drunkard. He can get after his wife, his children, anybody, and try to destroy their lives because he knows he is himself marriage. I know sometimes women can be destroyed. So the onething one has to understand that innocence does not bad, men can be bad. There can be problems, but a person who is wise will try to endure all that. Because he or she wants to respect the sanctity of marriage. This is a very contradictory allow you to have anything like that which goes against your awareness. Because human awareness is very important. That must be respected. thing that Christ was born without Anything that spoils your awareness, or spoils your health is all wrong, specially for Sahaja Yogis. You have to keep your health alright. How do sanctity from outside. They are you keep your health alright? By innocent and innocent people don't marriage and Ganesha was also born without marriage. They themselves are sanctity.

For me roses are Then we teach our children another beautiful but children are the most bad thing that you must possess interesting thing and they teach you so many things that you are surprised at their innocence. So many jokes are everything, specially in the West it is a thing they do. They tell their child that this is yours, you should not give it to anyone. This is your own.

You will be amazed they will give away everything that they have. In such a beautiful manner they will behave that you will be amazed, so innocent that they will tell everything to everyone.

But re cannot give you the dimensions into what you have fallen now. The what is the advantage? You do not have any advantage out of it. You are a loser. And this point atleast rationally if you understand, then you will understand what is Devotion. rationality is actually broken up.

So, in Devotion of Sahaja Yoga, one has to realise that the things that are in Sahaja Yoga, that you have seen in Sahaja Yoga, are beyond your mind, first thing. Definitely they are beyond human conception. So on human level you do not discuss them, and So the only method you have got now, or only way is left to you, for a drop which has become an ocean, is to dissolve those in the ocean, so that you feel the ocean at least.

I have said so many things, and then again after be? How could you give away such a nice lamp?" I said, "What is there? sometime, people start talking about it. Within scientific proof or things like that, you have seen that, many a t times it has happened. Am I going to carry it with me when I die? Is it going to go with me? Just see rationally. If he has liked it, let him have it. I have so many lamps in the house, if he takes one how does it Now when I say something I am sure matter?" She said, "But you see I about it, what I say, I never say asked my husband, will you give this lamp like this, if you have, to her? He said, no, I would not. I really. would not, he said. He was very anything but the Truth. I know that I am saying only the truth. But I do not go inside and find out, whether it is truth or not. I don't read a book to honest, he said, I would not. But still find out. I do not ask you. I have faith in myself, 'full faith' in myself. Whatever I say is the truth, I know I cannot understand, why not? So, you know till the last end we are holding on to something 'very' little there. for definite that whatever I say comes out truth. But that is not your case. If this, even a little bit is holding the That is not your case, that whatever saree, you know that, that can holo the whole saree. Even a little bit is you say is the truth.

"Oh You are not afraid of any Prime Mother, he is such a fine man! How can you say such a thing about him? Minister or any Minister, or any king, or anyone. But "This is the fact. This is the thing I know. I am a realized soul, I am the truth." If you say," I am the truth," whatever you will say We had one Mr. Michael like that. "Oh, he is such a loving person, Mother "Somebody said, Mother, are you jealous of him? - upto that extent you know!

So to develop that kind of But for that a real purification is understanding about the truth, first of needed about facing yourself fully, in all you should absolutely fix yourself Dedication means, you are holding on on the truth.

And they would even suffer for that, they would not mind. But whatever is the truth has to be said. that. In this expression of truth, you have to be like the light. The light asserts. It not only asserts, but it shows others also that it shines, it shows others, that "I am the light." That, "you walk in my light. And if you don't try to do it, I may burn you."

That is the idea people have, till evening asking for forgiveness that you become like cabbage. But you become dynamic! You become from Mother. What is it? What is there to ask for forgiveness because I real power; not of destruction, but of am forgiving you every moment. But construction, I mean, for destruction what are you doing yourself?

But when you Holding on to your source of power, you have to stand firm energetically. *Without' any fear. That is the truth. That is the truth you have to achieve. That's very important. ask for that I would like to know, have you given compassion to another person?

Just being the truth, the aspect of one side is there. forgiveness, that compassion, have you given compassion to others? Have you been compassionate to others? You see, it should not be one sided. If you are taking the advantage of my compassion, it should not be one sided that you use it for your own benefit and forget about it. Then you will never grow you will never grow. source But the other side of it is, that when this source comes to you, you become the Compassion. The truth and the Compassion are one thing. You would not believe, but it is so. Like, the wick and the oil combine to form the light, it is the burning of the oil gives you the light, in the same way If you have to grow, then you must store that compassion within. the compassion gives you the truth. There is no difference whatsoever, Whatever compassion I have given only the state is different. That you you, love I have given you, you must cannot see the light which is oil, and oil which is burning. store within you. And give that back to others. Otherwise you will be finished, you will be nowhere. Is the growth which is sustained only - not only by sucking from one side but by So compassion is the one which is the source as well as your store. So from the source of compassion, you get giving to others. Otherwise you will your compassion. be stagnated. There has to be outflow. You see, I have seen people who want to have compassion from me; they want that I should love them. But reflect it back; do they love others like that? I have known people, say for one person says harsh things to other But that is a very hard thing, because people are very good at taking compassion from Mother. Or even if they are compassionate, they will be mostly compassionate to people who 2001_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-45.txt January - February 2001 44 The Divine Cool Breeze are, say, in Viet Nam, not in the Now the basic thing is, that our Ashram. They are more worried Compassion, if that is flowing, then about Viet Nam people, you know. only can we get compassion from "Oh Mother! We are worried about Mother. I have done t0o much Viet Nam People, we are collecting compassion business and what I find money for them, and we are trying to that now unless and until you flow it send money to Viet Nam.," And here how am I to give you compassion? I among Ashramites - fighting. This is mean there is no space left for it now. Better give it away, empty yourself a little bit, then I can give you more Sahaja Yogis among themselves are compassion. It's simple business. In a different race, and they have to this respect one has to understand, that support each other, all the time, and the source can not flow unless and look after them. When I find Sahaja until it expands the flow of it. not compassion by any chance. Yogis criticizing Sahaja Yogis, I am amazed! I am really amazed! Because Like the river Thames. We went to see the place from where it starts. It you are part and parcel of the same. How can you criticiz! One eye is a small little stream, from seven criticizing another, I just cannot streams, - little-little. 'Very little-little, we can say trickling down it has become the river Thames. Supposing it does not widen, that will stop at the beginning only. It cannot come out. understand. I can criticize, alright, but why should you? Why should you criticize each other? Only thing you have to do is to love each other. It cannot flow. It is not because it is angry or upset or anything like that, Christ has said it thrice, I must have said it 108 times already that, "you have to love each other, that is the but because of the nature of its flow only it cannot flow, what to do? only way you are expressing Compassion". If I have given you any So that is what it is, that one has to love any time, you have to have give compassion to others. It should patience with others, love for others. not be formal compassion, or the I sometimes try to coax people, and I affected one, but it should be a natural find that people immediately come out with some sort of criticism of feeling' from within. It is not an one, very natural, spontaneous expression of your ego, super ego or others or something like that. 2001_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-46.txt 45 January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze being, means it reaches the source, It over-sentimentality, but is a kind of is in this light we have to understand. an understanding that he is a Sahaja Yogi, you are a Sahaja Yogi, you are brothers. Not the way the brothers Exclusiveness, or "We are now have been, but a different type of married, we should have separate brothers who are 'spiritual brothers. . place, we should live separately". - it is alright, you must have little privacy as married people, I am not saying You are spiritual people. So the compassion has to be there, that. But as far as compassion is and unless and until you develop concerned, as married people, you much more passionate fatherly or motherly have feeling for others... I mean I am the compassionate. But you will only be to worry about your 'own children, about your 'own comfort, about your "own' husband, about your own mother of a person who is about a hundred and eight years of age. You have to really mother others, and have that feeling of compassion and love wife'. In Sahaja Yoga, there is no for others. You don't have to think place for such people. It is all about your own comfort, you don't collective. When you bring sweets for have to think about your advantages, your own child, bring for other children in the Ashram. You are one but you have to think about the family and all the family has to move with the same waves. I have told you before that we cannot have separate comfort of others. You have to think, "What you can do to make others comfortable," than to see what will food arrangements, separate this and make you comfortable. So this flow of compassion when it separate that. In the same way, we starts, the Dedication is complete. living for different people. cannot have separate standards of Because "Whatever we got from you, Mother, we are giving it to others." We all have to enjoy whatever is That is the Dedication. So the flow enjoyed by all of us. That should be of Dedication is not one sided. It is so. And that should be achieved on double sided. You stick on to material level. On emotional level any something, you get connected with marriage which is absurd, which something, to get something out of makes every one unhappy is useless. it, you give it to others. And But marriages are made to make ultimately it reaches the collective everyone happy. So before you decide 2001_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-47.txt 46 January- February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze doing compassion. There is no other to marry, think, that you are not playing tricks. Playing tricks in Sahaja Yoga is very-very dangerous. You are not playing tricks with your marriages, you are trying to involve somebody else, thinking that Mother purpose behind it. Only this will give you something that is of permanent nature, of a 'sthayi' () nature. You have seen people as I was telling in the morning, who have gone to an would forgive you and all that. I will organization, made a beautiful organization out of it. And once they forgive, but your ascent is difficult. So do not try to play tricks with anything that you have been doing Because they do not give anything before, but change yourself substantial to that organization. And completely, transform yourself what is to be given, is a large heart of leave, the organization is finished. completely. compassion. If you do not give it that, Now you change your attitude once you go away from that, the rest of them are again barren. It is not towards life. You can, because it is growth. If you bring water, plant changed already. If you try to be the other person, you cannot be. Now you have become a flower, now you things and give water to that area then it becomes very beautiful, and you can say it is a very lush growth. But cannot become suddenly the leaf. as soon as that water source is Now you are a flower, and you have removed, it gets again dried up. to live like a flower. And that is what you have to remember, that compassion is such an outflow, is Sahaja Yoga you not only grow as a But Sahaja Yoga is different. In such a natural thing for Sahaja Yogi. It is not natural for anybody else. Other people who talk of compassion or this and that are actually not at all plant, but also, as the source of the plant. If this plant is removed from here put somewhere else, it will give water to other plants. Do you know this new dimension that you have within yourself? - That once this plant is uprooted from here and taken out, compassionate. They are doing it for money, they are doing for position, they are doing for ego satisfaction. But you are having compassion because you have to have it, jolly well. It is flowing, the compassion, because it has to flow. And you are it will not die! Not at all. It will grow, and it will make others grow. This is another type of a growth that we have. And it is a very different position we 2001_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-48.txt 47 January-February 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze are in, and that is what now I want, that all of you, 'even' if you are is only possible if you know that you are here for a 'very great' universal uprooted and put into any other place, task.
