It is the love which helps you to do everything so smoothly so beauti- fully. As I have always said that if you how much you can love others? It will really love your country, you can never be much easier to find out through be dishonest.

If that whatever you want to do for your country. happens, many problems of Sahaja In this country we have had great Martyrs. Perhaps you may not be knowing some of them, and the way they sustained the torturous life, it was only is that people still are hankering after because they loved their country. Your money.

This is not the area where you country where nothing but peace can really work out that. You will be prevails and when you love that country exposed in no time. On the contrary if how can you have all these nonsensical ideas for money and for power and all powers in Sahaja Yoga, as leaders and that? I just can't understand. As it is you deputy leaders, I don't know what all, know very well, that, I am not bothered about these things at all in my life. Of course we need money for work, for politics or else for making money you can everything, but there is no need to run go to racecourses or some place. If you after it or hanker after it. I am surprised you, you have to find out about yourself. Just try to find out also as you love me, Yoga will be solved in no time. Even in Sahaja Yoga what I am told you people are worried about your then also you are sadly mistaken. That's not the place. For that you can join

You know things and make some mess out of your there are certain powers, which flow and self. If you want to destroy yourself you different different years, I find, different. can go to some other fields but not in types of powers start flowing and this is the time when powers for exposure are going to be there. Whether you are a leader or if you are not, if you are making anything in a dishonest way you will be exposed and you will be rightly punished. Sahaja Yoga may not punish you, but there are so many ways that this power they will be exposed in no time. This is the year of exposure, I Yoga, if you have no love for your do? Though its my Birthday, Mother, you run after those non-sensical Sahaja Yoga. In Sahaja Yoga you have to know that you have to be really dedicated and honest. You should enjoy your honesty, you should enjoy your love, you should enjoy your generosity, everything. You will be exposed no doubt but then where will you go? What will be your position? You are doing all those things, you have to go the way people have gone to hell, I should say. Because after coming to works out. The first thing is what we call 'Alakshmi'. Alakshmi means at that time when you are punished, you will be

 July - August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII issue 7 & B surprised you will just become bankrupt. We have to create this world for the You will have no money. You will be exposed, you may be in jail. So though over, who are even in the jungles, who it's a very auspicious day, I must tell you not to be inauspicious. Yesterday's have to spread this beautiful sensation lecture I explained to you to know what your powers are, what you can enjoy, respect and dignity. Very important is to what you can give, what can you work out. But firstly you must know are you respecting your Self? Yesterday only I capable of doing that or you are just said "Know Thyself. If that is the case, working it out in the other way round. I was amazed to hear that after so many is first to respect yourself. If you don't years also people have not given up this kind of a whole, whole of the people who live all are lost into Himalayas, anywhere. We and this beautiful existence of self- see if you are really the Self, Are you Do you respect yourself? Very important know how to respect yourself and you run after useless things temptation that they have. On my Birthday then what should we say? What is the quality that you must remember you have imbibed in Sahaja Yoga except that you how many years you have spent doing Sahaja Yoga. You must have started a business understand all or the nice time you something like that? It is very sad. But there are people had and how many days every year you have spent in enjoying my Birthday and also in understanding how you have grown into it. How you have changed and how you have enjoyed and how you have imbibed all the qualities of Sahaja Yoga? who are still ruined in the mud of these things. You have overcome so many things, I know. You have achieved so many things,I know, which is not possible, humanly impossible things you have done. You have got over all these nonsense but still there are some people First and foremost quality of a Sahaja Yogi is that he has to be absolutely honest. He has not come here to make money. Not for making money. He has not come here to make power. among you who are still in the stinking mud of nonsense. It is nice that you are celebrating my Birthday with such enthusiasm and such happiness. So nice to see all this and I But he has come here to rise into the new beautiful world that we are creating.

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 July- August 2001 come Nother want you all to be my decorations. In is the Spirit, the reflection of God the whole world, they should see that Almighty. If you want to live like all other you are my children and that you are of such great values and such great stay out of Sahaja Yoga. But if you think understanding. You are my children. I that you have to really show your worth, have really worked for you in the sense coming into Sahaja Yoga and if you have that every minute, every moment of my life I have thought of you.I wanted to work it out in such a beautiful manner ordinary non-sensical people, you should to feel proud of yourself, then try to understand that in Sahaja Yoga you don't have to have all these weaknesses. that you become really good people, ideal people, special people with understanding. So that is the day when you should feel that your Birthday is being celebrated. When you are completely cleared out, you have become Nirmal, absolutely pure personality of love,that's the day of your Birthday and Mine too. I have to tell about these things because some things have come to my notice and 1 am really shocked the way some people are still not understanding their value, not understanding their worth and that's why the other day I told you that you must know about yourself. First of all the Self When the Kundalini rises, she passes through 6 chakras by enlightening them. I may tolerate you, up to a point but the Kundalini will punish you. She will do what is needed to correct you. Up to a point, she will do and afterwards when she finds it is not possible to correct you then I don't know what will happen and how it will work out! Sahaja Yoga is very easy to come in, to move in and to work it out. But if you go against yourself, if you try to behave like very ordinary useless people, then you can't stay in Sahaja Yoga. You will be thrown out. As soon as you are thrown

 July-August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 But if you are still running after non- sensical things, if you are still full of lust and greed, then better you leave Sahaja Yoga into itself and you can find some other area where you can do that. It is something surprising, how people do not understand their position in Sahaja Yoga! Your growth has been on the whole, very good. I know there are many people who are wonderful Sahaja Yogis, Who are really great Sahaja Yogis and they have every right to call themselves Sahaja Yogis or Mahayogis. But that is only possible and perceptible if you really grow up inside and your spirit shines like crystal clear ocean of love. Now the connection has been done. You have the knowledge of all the Charkas. You know out, where will you land, what will happen, that you know very well. On this auspicious day I have to request you to be auspicious, not to do anything that is inauspicious. They call it protocol. But there are small things which show you are auspicious, very-very minute subtle things that show you are auspicious, which you don't have to learn. Automatically, spontaneously, it comes and you enjoy your auspiciousness. Because you are holy, because you are Nirmal, and you enjoy that quality within you. When that happens that is your Birthday. You were reborn as you know. All of you were reborn. You are rebom but still you were children and now you have grown up. That growth has to be shown in every way. When a person grows, then he goes all out to do various things how to raise Kundalini. You know also how to cure people and how to treat people. With all that knowledge, with all that life you have got, its like the milk, you give to your energies and then to express himself. In the same way have to when you are you become grown up then you have to show that ener- getic. You can not be lethargic about it. When you are you have grown up in Sahaja Yoga. That you are very deep, and you are lethargic, then you are not a Sahaja Yogi. You have to be moving with this flame in your heart that you know what is Seilf and you know a very senior person. I have seen some little children also. They are so grown up and so sensible that sometimes I am amazed that they are great saints reborn. They are great people who are rebom. what you have to do for others. Must be you must have been also great seekers in previous lives. And that seeking, that

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIll Issue 7 & 8 July August 2001 was there, has brought you to Sahaja Yoga. Now with that seeking when you are here, still you are seeking all these useless things! You can't grow and such people cannot make others also grow. grow. You have to become very very deep personalities. You have to grow within yourself, celebrating your own Birthday. Every day, try to see, what is your experience, what did you see. Whom did you meet. How did they talk? I mean, I know so many names, practically every body's name I know, practically everybody's Kundalini I know. I also So the main thing one has to understand that how you are grown in your love. You see, a person who is frightful, who is very strict, who talks very rudely, is not a Sahaja Yogi. No way, But the one who looks after, cares, loves and know whose Kundalini is alright whose is very generous, is the real Sahaja Yogi. is not. I know so many people. So many You are the people of special qualities ask me how do you know so many and those qualities must be shown in your life. I know you love me very much and you know what you have done to celebrate my Birthday. As you have so many of these decorations, I have already told you that you are my decorations, and your lives are my decorations. And the way you behave, and the way you know yourself, things will be so much appreciated all over the world. It is not for any other purpose but call it romance and all that, but it's a very only to remember that you all have to deep feeling. When you enter into the names and how do you remember them?l say, I don't know that part but it is that whenever I see a person I see his Kundalini and from that Kundalini I know who he is? There can be thousands of Kundalinis but I know who is who, because I love them. If you love somebody then you know what he is. It's not stupid love as they

 July August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 garden of your heart and you feel the beautiful fragrance all around, when you think of such nice people as they have been as saints, great saviours and now the Sahaja Yogis, you feel so much grateful that you have achieved that state of collective enjoyment. upon you, about everyone, about every aspect, about every surroundings that you have, so clearly you know and that should happen that you should know very clearly, very-very clearly that what is the situation with you, where are you, and what are you doing? Not that, you have any less powers. You have all the I have never put any restrictions on powers. But for that you have to go deep down. Like there is a well and the well has the water in it but if your bucket does not go down, how can you bring the water? If your bucket is filled with stones, That is the testing ground where you are what's the use of that well to you? In the same way we have everything within us, will you know how far you have come? asI told you yesterday, and Sahaja Yoga So you are the student, you are the is the way you can go down and find examiner and you are the one who has about yourself which is so beautiful, to give you self certificate. And in that clean and that's the thing to be enjoyed case what happens is that you start and not other non-sensical things after understanding. Understanding so many which you are running, which you think you. Do what you like. Whatever way you want to do it you can do it. I have never been bothering you about money or anything. But that is a testing ground. standing. If you do not test yourself, how things, which you have never understood. I mean the knowledge, so called knowledge, is no knowledge are important. I have already told you, it is 'Shudh Ichcha', is the Kundalini. Shudh Ichcha, because it's all falsehood. It's all mental. Pure desire because other desires are But the real absolute knowledge dawns

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII issue 7 & 8 July August 2001 never fulfilled. You try to buy one thing, state, I know. I know I have not told them, then you don't enjoy. You want to buy because I know this is the year they will another one, you don't enjoy. You want to buy another ane, don't enjoy. Because the use of doing something in which you it is not the real desire. This is the will be exposed and that the whole world principle of economics that you are never satisfied, You go on buying, buying, criminal or as a person who does not buying, buying and you buy so many things. Ultimately what happens is that it and if you are here to gain lots of all the industries collapse. That's what ascending steps, you have to have your is happening in America. It has a quality eyes upward and not downward. You that whatever you do, repels back on must see what steps there are? You you. Only the spiritual growth does not. It flowers. Its fragrant, its beautiful, such a beautiful experience to be with your in that beautiful garden, fragrant, garden self, as if you have entered into the of your Self, which is so beautiful. beautiful garden of paradise. If that feeling if you want to have, give up all the world. As so many are lost, so why non-sensical ideas, give up all worldly have you come to Sahaja Yoga? nonsense. Everything you give up and then you will feel that you are now very much there where you should have try to take to spirituality, pure spirituality. been. You will have no doubts. You will Purity, is the word. Purity you must have have no hankerings, you will not feel at all in any way dissatisfied but some people are still at a very elementary state has to improve. Witness state has be all exposed, no doubt. Then what is of Sahaja Yoga will look at you as a need any respect. Either you get out of have to climb up those steps and with these steps where you enter,I tell you, Instead of that you are lost in the mire of Give up those non-sensical ideas, and purity within is you can easily establish with Sahaja Yoga. Your witness

 July-August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 to be projected so much that this just witnesses and while witnessing conditioning and ego of reaction will anything. it knows. It knows, you don't finish off. You will have no more reactions have to tell, this is this or this is what. Don't have to express too much anything. It is just self expressing, if, you are a clean person, your desires are clean, and that you just have pure desire to ascend. but you just witness and the knowiedge that is real comes always through witnessing. If you do not know how to witness then whatever knowledge you have is nothing but through your ego or through your, we can say, conditionings. Its not absolute knowledge.. So to get absolute knowledge about anything what you have to do is to reach the point of absoluteness. So reach the point where you are absolutely clean, pure, Nirmal. So Again I have to talk about Kundalini that you must have a Kundalini completely establishing itself within you, completely expressing within you, completely enlightening yourself. Such a Kundalini should be there and only Now don't condemn yourself if you possible if you do not put hurdles in her have some defects. There has to be, you growth. If you allow it to grow, it grows are human-beings. But all these defects and it works out. with your power of spirituality you can absolutely overcome. For that what have you to do. First is introspection. First try onlyin 1970, not becausel could not start to findout; you separate your self from it earlier, not because there were all bad your self and say "Hello Mr. How are people in this world but because I was you?" Start with that. "Hello, what are waiting myself to be deft in dealing with you up to?" And you start seeing your self outside, and eradicating, removing all the permutations and combinations all that is not your self. That knowledge that were there and then I just thought if I of Self comes to you when you want the could get hold of a way by which all these knowledge. It should be pure desire to combinations can be worked out in one know about your Self. You are the line, then only Kundalini will rise and it special people no doubt. You are all worked, it happened. With the sincere chosen to be very, very special, no desire, because I felt very sad about doubt. There must be something about people who are spending their lives in you that you have come to the stage something very non-sensical. They can't where you are trying to become the Self. enjoy anything. They have no genuine Self is absolutely self satisfying. It does feeling for anything, They have no genuine not need anything to satisfy itself. Actually it is satisfaction personified. It loved. They can't love. They are notioved just sees things, it just watches things, it and they are in misery. So it was very As you know have started this work all kinds of Kundalinis. I had to work out love for anything and they are not even

 July - August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7.& 8 10 deliberate action on my part, should say, that I watched human beings very carefully. Why they do it like this? Why they behave like this? Why are they not understanding? Why are they harsh, why they shout, why they beat, why they do all Why don't you love? What is the bad thing about that particular person? If he is a Sahaja Yogi and a great Sahaja Yogi, is it out of jealousy, is it out of greed or is it out of lust? Still you are like that. Then the oneness in the whole world of brotherhood is something to be really enjoyed. Enjoyed so beautifully. See all these things you have here. There is so much harmony among them. So much harmony, because it is done with love. If you do anything with love, it is very harmonious. It creates such harmony among people that you see the enjoyment of each other's company. The enjoyment of each other's achievements is so much joy giving that I cannot describe it in words. It's impossible. Words cannot communicate to you the feelings that you have. As I told you, feel as if you are in the Garden of Eden.That sort of a feeling should come into you when you know yourself. Because when you know yourself, actually you know your own being and you are so happy that your Self is so beautiful,that you are so beautiful, that you are so joyous, that you have all these things! this? Because of imbalances. But with introspection if you start seing those imbalances, you now know how to cure yourselfand you can really workitout. You have to just work on your Chakras. See which Chakra is catching? Where is the problem? You have to respect yourself in such a way that you become your own doctor and you know everything about yourself. This is wrong with me. Why am I catching? Why am I catching on that Chakra? Why this is happening? This is the education you have to give to yourself which will be only possible if you experience all those catches. It is for you to grow now. Grow into great people, great personalities, very tremendous people who have made history. Who are respected. All those great saints and all that also were of great calibre but they didn't know how to raise the Kundalini which you know. You To know that within you is really very much fragrant with enjoyment. That state you must have. I see sometimes when you are overjoyed you dance, and sing and so on. That's something really very good. But all the time your spirit should dance at smallest things. At the little thing that is made, say something artistic you see, something you see a gesture of kindness, a gesture of gratitude. You feel have something special knowledge how to raise the Kundalini. How to judge the Kundalini, how to understand where is the problem? And also you know how to tell that person about his problems very beautifully, with love. So the message of your spirit is that you should love each other. If you do not love some one then what's the matter?

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 11 July - August 2001 that depth of that feeling. For example have this you will not deter from doing today I saw the flag. When we got anything that is important. You will have Independene, we made this flag. I had no fear of anyone. You will not go round seen this flag being put up when the and round but you will know how to find other flag was brought down. I can't tell the solution and how to work it out. you what was the feeling that covered us! Such a feeling that the truth has somehow or the other overcome the know yourself. You will have such powers untruth. The justice has been shown over of courage. You will not be a dare devil injustice. That feeling is still so much, I can't even see the flag. I see it and I you will have and that is what is your Self, remember the whole history, the whole which will give youlots of wisdom andlots thing that how many people sacrificed? of courage. It's not a fighting spirit, it's not How many martyers were there? How aviolentnature, it's nota rude nature. But much people have fought for it? That flag it is a very silent, beautiful, courageous stands for them. And you stand for all attitude. There is a story about one that.

I will teach him. All the cocks ran away from the field because in that standing (King's cock) was the power of wisdom and power of You have to work within yourself what you can do for others. What you can achieve? What is the best way to courage. Courage is silently very imbibe those qualities within you that you powerful. You don't have to bomb become an absolutely unique anybody, you don't kill anybody but you personality. As I told you there have been have to stand up with courage. And that many great leaders and many great is the another quality which will express, people who are remembered by many that is very polite, very sweet. You will be people. Now what you should see? What standing with that courage. I know so made them so great? Why after so many many of you are like that. There is no years people still remember them? I struggle, there is no fight. Just standing have given you the statue of Shivaji with courage and win what ever is right Maharaj. He was another great soul. A and that is quite possible because you great soul who had such principles and such beautifying life, in his language, in Almighty. You have the connection with his attitude and everything. With all that he was a very brave person. Once you have now the connection with the the Param Chaitanya and that will work out everything.

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 12 July-August 2001 This is our special temperament, think. We are very corrupt people. India has become so corrupt that I can't believe it. I was here about 35 years back. We had never heard of corruption. Now they have become so corrupt and that's what enters into Sahaja Yoga. When that enters into Sahaja Yoga they will be just found out and will be punished, not by me, or by you but their own Kundalini. So every country has its own speciality as far as doing something wrong. We are not here to do anything wrong. We are not going to express ourselves as wrong people but we are here to prove that we are perfect, we are wonderful people. That is what is the Self, that we are perfect. We don't have to go according to what negativity, we can call it as 'Adharm' we were. It's a new realm we have which is fighting. So you stand on your reached. Its the new area we have reached and let us enjoy that great area. I will be very happy to say that today Thave seen so many of you are such good Sahaja Yogis. Somany of you. Andif you find anyone who is not, please report it to me. Please tell me. Please find outif there is anyone who is trying to be very oppressive and who is trying to control everything, who is trying to make money, who is trying to have lust and greed. It is to be expressed. So once you have really worked out, you should know that this is the area, what we call 'Dharam Yudh'. 'Dharam Yudh' means the warof religion. But not the way people are fighting. Our Dharam Yudh is that we are standing on Dharma and Dharma means not religion butitis 'Vishwa Nirmala Dharam'. You are standing on our religion and this Dharma. Unless and Until you are dharmic you can not have any achievementin Sahaja Yoga. I have seen people who are abroad, they have funny ideas and they will come and tell me, Mother "I have a wife but l am in love with another woman, so what should I do?" I said, You get out, that's all. Just get out. Or he may say, the wife might say that "Mother see I am having relations with another manand what shouldldo?Isaid, "You get out. that's all. You get out of Sahaja Yoga. You are no good for Sahaja Yoga and Sahaja Yoga is no good for you. Isa complete outcast. They havenothing to do with Sahaja Yoga. I think all of you understand me that today I am little worried about people who are dragging Sahaja Yoga down and they should understand that I understand everything. When they will be harmed they should not blame me for that. It is obvious that they are no where near Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga purifies you everyday. You see one experience, you see one person, you see some events and it purifies you. That's the sign. Supposing I see somebody a dishonest man, immediately I start finding, I hope I am not doing any dishonesty myselfl Just imagine, that you are the one who is the curator, correcting influence on yourself. Where do you stand? Do you stand on Also in India we have problem of dishonesty. They are dishonest people.

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 July - August 2001 13 I have seen people, how they have managedand looked afterso many things which were difficult and have workeditout the correction point or in getting finished with it.Yesterday's lecture everybody liked very much but this is the extension of that lecture. I am telling you, that you are very great people. You can save the whole world. must say all this will happen in my life time. And it has happened and I see you as very great, very great people. Specially ladies have to work it out more. Because I am a woman and woman have the special capacity to love and to bear. So now we are in for a new world and in thatnew world andnewrace Sahaja Yogis have to show their results. They have to show their powers and their courage and their understanding. It is not serious.

Unless and until you face others your ego have found the truth and those who are पू पमताजी की भिर्मला द्वा के 78 वंजन्म दिवस still trying to find, the greatest problem of human beings is (surprising) that they don't know them- selves, they don't know what powers cannot come down. Now how? The ego is there, because when you think that others are better than you, when you they have, they don't know what pro- are afraid to say that they have to trans- form and when you perties they have, they don't know to what height they can rise! This is the main problem of igno-rance about your self. If you could just peep in your heart and start thinking about the spiritual life that you could have, you would know you are a treasurer, treasurer of powers of love, powers of justice and powers of wisdom. The problem is we have no idea as to what we are. And Sahaja Yogis also, they are so humble that they do not realize what powers they have. And sometimes I find they are a little shy to talk about Sahaja Yoga or to tell about it to others, because they think it might be their ego that is speaking. are worried that you are being very aggressive. If you are a Sahaja Yogi and if you are meditating every day, you are cleansing your self, you have a power within yourseif, which will show its results. It will show its powers and manifestation in such a big way that you start surprising at yourself. Is it what I am? With the Kundalini Awakening what happens? That all these petty things, as we call in Sanskrit 'Shadripus', they all drop out. But we must face ourselves. Some people in Sahaja Yoga think that we can become very great people or we can achieve some great positions and all that. That's not the point. It's not outside. It's not the outside ambition, but the Inner Light, which has to shine through. All of you Now I have to tell you one thing that ego will always deflate, it will always

That's all nonsense. self that you know the truth and as the people who know the truth what you have to do is to spread the truth to make this darkness of ignorance pass away. But in Sahaja Yoga also I have seen people, within and you can awaken that. You when they come, they start getting ideas have powers, you can do that very easily, about themselves and trying to organize without hurting anyone, without troubling things. They do all kinds of things. I know anybody, without taking any money, all that. Instead of that if you get full picture kinds of things. But as it is I find the about yourself, what you are capable of people are either money oriented or and what you can achieve by giving power oriented, outside, not inside. realizations to others, by making them lInside is the wealth, inside is the power, understand what their powers are, not inside is everything that you can think yours, their powers, what they can achieve, I tell you, we can go very fast used to come on the stage to speak with the spreading of Sahaja Yoga. But this fear, that we may develop ego, there speakers and I am amazed to see how are many who have this kind of a they have been transformed! The nonsensical idea, you cannot, because about know within yourself, what you have got, Like there are some who try to be That is of no worth.

This power has been but if you are not that kind then you given to you to know yourself fully and should not become just stationary. You to be confident and to be kind and gentle should do what it is to find out, what am and talk to people in that way that they 1? Christ has said, "Know Thyself" know that you are a Sahaja Yogi. It is not given to you just to say that you are Thyself." All of them have said, "Know Sahaja Yogis, but to know yourself fully, Thyself". That means you are something to peep into your own treasures, into your great. You have hidden properties within own understanding. Now I must say you which you do not know. Once you there are so many people in this world, know yourself, you will have self-respect, millions and millions, why you people you will not do wrong things, you will have have come to Sahaja Yoga? I didn't choose you. You chose Me, and when you have chosen Me you must know Sahaja Yoga is. I understand that these within yourself that there must be something in you that has made you Kaliyuga', as people say. Alright. But why come to Sahaja Yoga and to understand are you here during this time? To the subtle system. It's very subtle and it enlighten people, to give them the right can be known only to very subtle people ideas. But how? Unless and until you do and not to gross people. But if you yourself discover yourself and then you capable of this and you are capable of go ahead there can't be any ego because that. You see the life of all great men, I you are not ego. Those who have ego, would say people like Abraham Lincoln. Sahaja Yoga. They even try to Mohammed Sahib has said, "Know no anger. But you will be an ocean of love.

As it is, we know in Sahaja Yoga you get assert on others his own value system by show- ing his example. Though it was very hard for people to understand him, still he has shown such results. I have read many lives of this kind like in Turkey we had Ataturk. We had every where one person like that. In India we had Lal Bahadur Shastri, who was such a great man and who knew about Sahaja yoga, who is to respect me so much, people would wonder, why should he respect me more than he would respect my husband or anyone else. Because he realized what I was. But he didn't get the chance. Now you people have a chance. connected to that own- which aгea Einstein has called as 'Torsion Area'. But that Torsion Area' is there behind you. Param Chaitanaya is there to support you, to help you. All of you have got this but despite that you don't believe in it. Believe in your self. You have that power within you. I know of one fellow who was in Bombay. he was a fisherman and a great Sahaja Yogi, I should say, we have lost him. So one day he was going to: another island for spreading Sahaja Yoga among fishermen. He found in the sky such black clouds, threatening. So he came out and he threatened them, "I Alright, I am quite old now, it's am going for my Mother's work. How correct, but still I am not going to give dare you bring the rain? You should not up. Till I live I will work very hard to bring the rain till I come back." And it was convince you about your own surprising. He went out, did all his job, personality, your own Self. That's what I everything, came back after 5 hours and am living for. Till you are completely when he went to bed it started convinced. You will be amazed that thundering. people who come to Sahaja yoga also do all kinds of non-sensical things. I know, they do. But they are not Sahaja nature is our representative. It helps us. Yogis in a way. Because unless and until If you are of that quality, nature will stand you go deep into yourself, unless and by you. You have seen that many a times until you find out what is your personality, in the real sense of the word, whatever you may do, it is not Sahaja. Sahaja anything, but only thing they realize that The nature will be with you because nature has helped me. It is not because I have any control over them or I tell them

 19 July-August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 &8 should say, nature itself that it has worked. I was sure about myself. Though outside I may look a very humble housewife, people used to think I don't speak much because I don't know English. This was the situation. But that's not the point. The point is, I knew what I was, I knew what I am, and I knew what I have to be. That's all. That's the only difference. If you people develop that knowledge within yourself, you can be dynamic. You will not have ambitions, you will not have desires, you will not have anger, you will not have greed. All these things will drop out like that. I am here for such and such work and that I am to be supported. In the same way if you can establish it, the nature will know that you are the people who are here to redeem the whole universe. You can do it. I may think that the whole world should be redeemed and all that. But how can I do it? If I could do it I would not have to have channels and these channels who know their jobs, they know themselves, those who are quite capable of doing it. You are special people no doubt, otherwise why are you here? But that specialiy is this that you are a good conductor of this Divine Energy. You are a wonderful conductor. You are an expert on that.it just works. It works automatically but your connection with the Divine should be absolute. First of all we have to know what is our basis. And the most important basis is that we are born in a particular country, and we should get concern about that. They say that I was a revolutionary and all that I did and I went to jail, but that was just to get my country's independence. That was different. But after that independence what should Now talking about absolute value is correct but these absolute values, do they exist within us or not? If they do then why not we make others imbibe them? It's not difficult, it's not at all difficult, I tell you. I am just an ordinary house wife. So what? It's just my love, just my, I have happened? Is to make people

 July - August 2001 20 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 realize what they are. Not only India but means what you are, and he describes in every country one has to understand very nicely that when you are that what what is the need of that country. What happens. Now the gap was how to they have to do to improve, to help, to achieve that state, how to reach that state was not given. He only described never asked you that you change your people who were Tao, who were realized names or anything, though you asked souls, who were of that level.I was for Indian names, alright. But what the surprised that he never said about Kundalini but he talked about the river rise, to transform? You should not; I main concern is that you should have concern for your country men. You are so empowered, your kundalini has Yang-Si. That it is Yang-Si river which is a symbolic way. He was more poetic. But ultimately reaching the reached that state where ocean that river you can do a lot. I know be- comes the some of you ocean and have done a then what are lot and have the qualities worked out of the ocean, but still all of you have to do it. I would he described so beautifully! Now I would just say that 78th Birthday (I forget also) I am just the same. I have not changed much because within myself I feel that I have to tell peopie what they are. I have to tell them what they can achieve and I have to move in such a manner that they see it that nothing is important than to know what you are. You are rich, poor, doesn't matter, nothing matters. What is important, is to know yourself. I am surprised, very little has been written so far but I find Tao by Lao Tse.I don't know if you have read the book of Lao Tse, about Tao, meaning what you are? Tao say you all have become supposing the ocean. So are you behaving like the ocean? Are you understanding your capacity to be an ocean? What an ocean is? Look at the ocean. It has it's own boundaries, 'Maryadas' it does not cross. If you try to push it on one side it will come out side. So you have to be in your maryadas we can call it also in your balance. That's very important that you should be in your balance. Now many people say who have given up smoking,

 July-August 2001 21 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 know that you are the highest. You are the highest but you are highest because you stand at the lowest point.Its true that I have tremendous love for the poor people. It's true also that I have been really very much yearning to do something for that and that is how we have started at least 16 projects in India. Now all that is done just because I can't contain myself. All this kind of miseries and troubles they have. Like Orrisa I Divinity, just starts flowing. Now this have prayed so much because it's a ocean perhaps we don't know, that country very much troubled .We should find out why it is so much troubled? all the heights from the ocean. If the What is the problem there? And I tell ocean is at zero point then what is the you it is a very great country, Orrisa is. height of the Himalayas. So it keeps at I have visited it also. And main thing the lowest because being the lowest it missing there is that they still have no receives all the waters, all the things that confidence. If they develop Sahaja Yoga within themselves, no floods can come, no problems can come to that country. Same in our country, same in your those clouds and the whole circle is country and everybody's country. have again started smoking, who have given up drinking, again have started drinking. That means you have lost your maryadas.So those Maryadas must be watched. Watch yourself .If you go on watching yourself you will know what you are. Must watch yourself .You call yourself "Hello Mr, So now, what are you up to?" Then you will see how your mind is working. With that thing what happens that this ocean which is the love of ocean is the lowest thing. We measure are coming from the rivers or from the rain. Then it burns it's body in the sun. It's open. And when it burns, it creates created that these clouds can go and shower rain on people. And again they become rivers and they come back to the sea. Everything has to go to the sea First of all we must have much more Sahaja Yogis and we must have Sahaja Yogis who know they are Sahaja Yogis. To be very much confident of the fact that after all you are Sahaja Yogis. Why not? What ever I can do, you all can do also.Why not? You are my children. You can do it. But the confidence should be because it is the lowest. So you stand at the lowest point with your confidence. At the lowest point don't compare yourself with another person who is doing very well in life or may be something, but see that you are the lowest and at the lowest point you 1 there that as Mother is, we could be the same, without any ego coming in. Because mostly I have seen people very afraid of their ego. There is no ego in it because you are like the ocean, I have said, which stands at the lowest point. In the same way it works out. It's so stand and you would be amazed that everything will come to you. Everything will see that it flows into you. Main thing is Knowing Thyself, it means that you

 July - August 2001 23 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 &8 Speech of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi On the occasion of release of book by Sir C.P. Shrivastava : 'Corruption - India's Enemy Within' New Delhi, 17.12.2000 become corrupt, I don't know! I have never seen a corrupt man being peaceful or happy. My parents know and I know so I bow to all the seekers of truth. After these all great speeches, l don't know what to add to it. But only solution I many of their colle- agues and friends, they sacrificed every- thing for the country. Because I am an feel as a Mother that if you have really love for your mother country 'Deshbhakti', that is the solution of ancient person I have seen all that. How could they do all that suffering, all kinds of going to jails and bearing all kinds of atrocities! How could they do it, I have seen it. And why not now, we the Indians remember that this is our great land. And we have to love it. Great people have born in this country. Nowhere in the world you will find so many great people being born. Their greatness is their 'Desh- Dharma', that they love their country and that's how we get nobility. As he has said there are so many things in our 'Desh- Dharm' and as you know that people have talked of nobility, of greatness and all that but why is it today, I don't understand, that we are drowned into this the whole problem. If you are a Deshbhakta you can't become corrupt. This is a quality if you can some how or the other inculcate, by reading about great patriotic people, by reading about people who have sacrificed their lives! They have done so much to achieve this freedom. If you can just understand what feelings they had for this country! This kind of emotional intelligence as they call it, if you could only develop that kind of love for your country, I am sure that you will become absolutely honest. No question, there is nothing to be done, but this is something very much innate and very much desired by the Divine. If you have to really have peace of mind, why

And when we came back, I was shocked, we had never heard at that time anybody being corrupt at that level. Even a chaprasi would only ask for a rupee or something. I mean we don't see the poverty of this country. They are not concerned as to what's happening to us with this horrible corruption. It's a disease worse than cancer. And to cure it, I think one way is to worship your Mother- land. Morning you worship your Motherland. You have her photograph. You see Her, do namaskar to Her and remember that you Not only he did it, but I must say, he never complained about something missing in life. Of course I am another person of a different type but he himself is like that. I was so happy that this book has come out. That though my vision, as you know, is very global and I want the great transformation but I know it will take too much time. A book like this, if people take it and understand it and do it seriously then may be my vision can be easily achieved. That's what I feel and I pray that all of you should take a vow that you owe a lot. To be born in India itself is a very blessful thing, that you are born in this great country. Be grateful to that. will love your country and will have no You will be amazed, it is greatness to joy in harming in anyway your country. If enjoy that kind of love.

On this dayI must say, Rama, and Krishna was Krishna. We are not that. How can you expect human for all the humanity. It was such an beings to behave like them.

Now I can see that without self Personalities away, very much away, realisation, it would have been impossible from human personalities. It was just an to talk to people. When this happened I adoration, I can say, faith, but when they thought that how will I talk to people about said we try to follow them, they could not. it,because no one will understand it and They could not follow them because l think human movement is on parallel lines with the Divine; and these lines do not meet unless and until you give them self realization. Human level is moving on another plane and it has to come up it was a great happening that took place it would be a big mistake on my part to say something about Sahasrara. Because even in the scriptures nowhere anything was described about the sahasrara.lt was absolutely an ambiguous description, I would say, to a higher plane to understand that what where people could not have even they know is not reality. I wouldn't say thought that there is a realm beyond what is needed for that because in my Sahasrara. And one has to enter into that own experience all kinds of people came to Sahaja Yoga. These people described to be very bad, cruel, another ones who That time what I saw around me, I were very licencious, this that; then feit it is all darkness and unless and until another ones who were very cheats. there are many lights people wili never They say that, Mother, they were realise that how important it is to have horrible.

I didn't say that it took me long or I had to go through lots of various experiences because to me all these experiences are nothing. If a ship is sea worthy it can face all kinds of high tides, all kinds of sharks, everything, without any difficulty, because it is sea The greatest thing has now worthy. Sol didn't feel that way,but only I happened is that which I now realise, I felt that from human level to this spiritual am very happy about it, that Sahaja Yogis level, to this Divine level, when you are feel very responsible about Sahaja Yoga. coming, then some of that still lingers on, some of that is still there. It has to be enlightenment everywhere. It is their cleansed, it has to be brightened or innate desire now to spread Sahaja absolutely enlightened. But what was the Yoga. Firstly it was that they should great thing about Sahaja Yoga that you become Spirits, before that there was yourself did all that. It is nice to say, also some people who didn't actually 'Mother You did this, you did that'. May seek the Spirit but they also became be enlightement part of it. But see now there are lights here and these lights some of you thatI never expected that unless and until they are attended to, they would go so far and suddendly you looked after and given oil of love, how can hearthat such and such person has gone they go on burning? This is something there, has done this, has done that. So what I must say that you people some when you came into the Realm of Reality, how or other realised how important it was to become good Sahaja Yogis. May be introspection, I don't say, may be standing. But one thing you realised that somebody else talked about it, may be you are definitely connected with the its your own understanding. Whatever it Divine. Some people had tremendous was, all of you tried to be good Sahaja experiences, some had mild experience Yogis. Of course, there are people who but most of them, Isaw, started believing are sometimes very angry with me, like in themselves, understanding them- why don't you cure my sister or why don't selves and having confidence about you cure my father if you are God, this, themselves. Because there are so many that is there. But makes no difference to me because they are so frustrated, so But inside they are all very beautiful. And this I found out one after another. You don't know how much it was giving me joy, not only joy, butalso encouragement, support and patience. And then, now you see, how Sahaja Yoga has spread! They feel that they have to spread this Sahaja Yogis, and I am surprised with I don't know which principles you accepted first. That is your under- myths about God, Religion, Gurus, that when they saw the light of the Spirit which gave them sense of reality, as if they studied their mind, they studied themselves. All this happened, I must beautiful people. upset, so they are talking like that. If you see one or two such persons here and there, you see there are thousands such

 July- August 2001 27 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 & 8 Complete emancipation of this himself because all other Sahaja Yogis earth, of this globe, I am sure, will take place, if you people all take up the responsibility. The responsibility has certain problems which we should know. When you feel responsible, you must know that you are not incharge, one thing, secondly, you also must know that there are so many other forces, so many Angels and Ganas are with you. You are not alone. So, to think that you are doing anything will make you, may be, egoistic. At that time, what you have to do is best to say, 'all right, I am not doing anything, it is the Divine that is working it out.' Not that the Divine wants any credit for it. But by saying that, this balloon of ego will not come up, and you will become humble. This humility will definitely improve this gravity of spirituality within you. Definitely, it will make you a very evolved personality, no doubt about it. But first of all, we have to say, "I am not doing anything ". It is a very important to understand when you have Spiritual authority to do things. It is not a testing ground. I can tell you this much. are also having the same kind of experiences of this Reality which cannot be described in words. But to start feeling that oneness, that nearness, that friendship without any expectation. You start feeling, 'Oh he is a Sahaja Yogi'. A kind of a complete integrated organism you become, become an organization,I should say, it is a living organization, In that you do not feel that you are something separate. Any Sahaja Yogi whether he is highly placed, or not doing much in life, this integration, this oneness, is feeling of identification with others, makes you so large, so big, so great, so powerful. You are not alone and you say, "I am not doing anything." So you become so humble that you forget all these false ideas about class consciousness or religion consciousness or, I don't know,all sorts of consciousness people have. I don't know much about these consciousnesses that human beings suffer from, but I have seen how it happens. And then that humility becomes your character, not that you are humble because there is something to be done, you are humble. When people are doing some sort of a business then they wil be extremely humble and nice and they will be very unkind otherwise. Here you become absolutely humble and there is no duality in your personality left. But that doesn't mean you become weak. Humility is only possible for people who are strong, because they don't need any reactions. They don't need any protection. Their humility keeps them Many people think that Mother is testing us. I am not testing, you are testing yourself. I am not saying, don't do this or don't do that. You are testing yourself and now you must know that you are in the beautiful Garden of Reality where very few have entered. And there in that garden when you enter, what do you see is that everything is full of beauty. Every person has something sweet about

At the same time materialise there is nothing to worry, you feel you are the whole sky. It there is nothing to be upset, there is depends on where you are, what you are nothing to be overly nervous about it. I doing, what you are seeing, what you are give an example. One day I was going to witnessing. Sometimes you feel that all America. And of course, you know as it these big- johnnies are useless. To feel is as all the Sahaja Yogis are, they get quite worried that Mother has to go to very small and with some people you feel America. Every body is upset. They are that you are very small. Such a flexible looking at the time, now the time is this, temperament you develop, and that time is that, I said, I have to go to America, makes you subtler and subtler because why are you worried? And suddenly one you can penetrate into anything, any of the Sahaja Yogi's child fell down and subject, any personality, any broke her hand and she couldn't move understanding, any book, anything, any her fingers.Sol was just coming out and as soon as he brought the child, I said all you immediately see, what is to be done. right, I am not going just now to the Because you become so subtler. And airport.They were very upset. Now She then when you become very great, then is not going to the airport, as if all the you start thinking or, I should say, feeling havens are going to fall down or what. what you can do to help so many people, But I said now let me see the child. I treated the child and the child was all funny word, feeling that you are a nothing to worry about them, They are enterprise, in a very subtler manner, and to do this great job, to do that. This when happens to you, they don't think that you right. All right, I said, let's now go to the are egoistical. Nor you should think that airport. They were saying 'Mother the you are very small, Only thing is now you plane must have left. It is all right,does not matter, lets go to the airport. We went to the airport and this plane that was anything, it could expand into anything, going to take me was just there because there was something wrong with the disappear anywhere. This subtle plane and there was another plane going personality, that you are, which is your to Washington and I actually wanted to spirit, you even don't use it but it uses go to Washington instead of New york. Solwas in the other plane, nicely going to Washington. But one must know that you are not doing. Everything is So the second thing should be that arranged and planned and beautifully you should not determine what you are kept for you. You decide something are the spirit. My spirit is very subtle, so very subtle light, but it can penetrate into it can remain anywhere but it can you all the time. Without your knowledge it uses you.

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII issue 7 & 8 July-August 2001 29 all right, if your decision is all right, if you have to do that, it will work out. If it doesn't work out, it should not have been worked out. Now this is the difference between a person who is a realised soul and who is not a realised personality is this way, that in the nature we see very clearly. In the nature what we see is that a tree grows. Now it has to expand but it cannot, so it does not. If it can, it will, and also it tries to bring all the leaves exposed to the sunlight, somehow. I don't think the trees have that soul. much intelligence to organize it. But there is something that organizes them so beautifully. It is not only one tree, but A realised soul person is not bothered what he wants, what he likes, what he is fond of. What he gets is alright. Now I can see you are living under this thousands and thousands and thousands. The one who does all that is the one with whom you are in contact. roof which is so horrible. There is no proper arrangements here, nothing. I The trees are not, they are just playing don't know how you are living here? I into the hands of nature. But they can not don't know what to do. We are trying to manipulate, manoeuver, understand this get a land and this land owner is such a Divine power.They cannot. Animals greedy fellow butI don't mind a greed part cannot. Even human beings cannot. But but still he is not giving us the land. It is you can, because you have crossed the alright. What to do. But you all enjoy it. limit of this human bondage. And now you You don't mind, otherwise normally, are just like great citizens of the great people would say, nol want this kind of a realm of Divinity. room, I want this kind of house and this that. That you can live in under any circumstances because you don't worry works out every thing and also, it guides about your physical comforts any more. you and manages you. So what you have What you think of is your own Spiritual to do is to keep yourself open for the Comfort. I have seen people, Sahaja guidance. At the same time you must act. Yogis so beautiful, even children, if there is something going on,something funny from within, by which you will know this comes in, immediately they will close their eyes. They don't want to see this. Nobody you feel that it was not achieved by you, has to tell them because you see they when you feel that still I don't know why I have a sort of insight they have built in that subtle personality which cannot stand nonsense. If there is something, they may not be harsh, but just they shun up, you should not desire. I have seen and go away from such places, Sahaja Yogis' desires are much more automatically. So to describe the new powerful than mine. The reason is that I So this Divine Force helps you, Because the guidance will also come is whatI have to do. Supposing even then couldn't get what I wanted.Try to understand that is what is the best for us. It never means that you should give

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIilI Issue 7 & 8 July - August 2001 30 So when this Sahasrara lotus opens, Try to see, fathom out, if I have any then the Kundalini pierces through your desires? I see I have no desire of any fontanel and you get your realization. This kind. It is alright, I do not earnestly want is what has happened. Now the only anything. You can say itis a very frivolous thing is to keep this lotus open and temperament. But it is all, you see, very there we fail sometimes because still different with you people. You people are there are some lingering human very differently made. Because you have feelings within us. Firstly it is all covered achieved something, I have not achieved with ego and conditioning oryou can say anything. I am what I am. Because you super ego-two balloons. These two balloons again and again try to close the Sahasrara. So you have to be on the of your achievement, I think, it is a boon guard that what is closing my Sahasrara. that whatever you desire works out. The first is ego which how to attack? Because you have worked so hard, it's a Because you want to attack your ego, you boon, it is a special blessing for you will have to attack through your ego only. whatever you desire. So many times I That's the only way you can. So we have have told you, don't desire anything which this state of Nirvichara, of Thoughtless is not proper because whatever you will Awareness where we have to be. But the desire that works out and that will be simple thing to do is very practical. Try to understand why you are being egoistical; with whom you are angry? Why you are angry? What makes you think to dominate someone or to control am desireless. I have no desires as such. have achieved something, you know how you were and what you are now. Because effective. Now try to realise that you are no more ordinary human beings. You have crossed the bondage and now you are not even the Sahasrara, you are beyond it. Sahasrara is the liymbic area and this limbic area is closed like a lotus. And when you get your Kundalini entering into it then lotus opens like this. And that's what is written in the Bible, that I will appear before you like tongues of flames. This is the Divine saying. So these petals are nothing but nerves which are enlightened just like these and they look like flames, but these flames are without someone or to check someone? Why? The mind will not answer. The simple thing if you can do that whatever things that upset you and make you feel very great, try to understand that compared to you nothing is great. Compared to your love, nothing is great, compared to your compassion, nothing is great, because in this there is the light of Divine Force. You hate someone, you get angry with someone, just know that you have to love that person. any heat. We call in Sanskrit 'Taap heen', no heat, extremely cooling, soothing, beautifully burning. Now how will you love that person? There is no way to have any

 31 July-August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 &8 The identification with others is very measurement of that. But love itself will suggest how satisfied you are feeling, important. And you can do it because you how happy you are. I will give you an example. The other day, I received a letter from someone in Poland, other person is. And then you will realize challenging me very much, that her mother is sick with cancer or something identification is the only way, I think, one and challenging me all the time. If you are God, you must cure my mother, if you immediately sucked in as soon as you are God, do this,do that very amusing. I put your loving attention on that person. said alright. I put my attention to this lady. In your life time you will get so many Perhaps her motheris better. But instead experiences like that, that you will be of getting angry, I said, she is so frustrated, she is so upset, she is so things? Because you are a realized soul. worried, even if she says if you are God, she is challenging me,it is alright, makes no difference. Whether she calls me God identified with another person you put that or no God makes no difference. person incharge of Divinity. Just a feeling Whatever I am, I am. So instead of of oneness. Some times we have also getting angry I felt tremendous compassion for her. She is a human being and her mother is so sick there. we have our own ideas about something. That's the only source of her life, then I Say, some sort of a living standards, can understand why she is so upset. So some people have will act. I don't like it, I if you just try, which you can do very like itand I don't like it. Not a saint, a Saint easily, very easily. Its not difficult because never says that. That time when you say you are realised souls, I am talking to that you are falsely identifying yourself saints. If you just put your attention on a with another person. Now supposing, person with love, then what happens, you somebody has done such a beautiful get understanding. Understanding of that flower arrangement. Instead of person. You realize, as if identifying with appreciating and enjoying it, you come that person, then you realize if I was in and say, I don't like it, this could have her place as a human being what I would been better, just to show. I don't know, have felt? This desperation, this anger. why people say like that? But if you If I was sad,If I was the same type of identify yourself with the man who has person with the same kind of problems, done it, or the gentleman who has done then what would I do? That solves the it, you will enjoy it the way that person problem. So the identification part, you enjoyed, doing it. Because you are just have such powers, you can penetrate. thinking are realized souls, you can do it. Just place yourself in the same position as the that you have powers of love and can understand love.

So it is our attention on things, and useless things and just ourselves when we work out that we have to bring others into this realm of Reality. This is one side ourselves where we have to understand our subtleties, the other side is that we are still identified see, what is good in others, Because in everything is fine, everything first class. you might say this was, this should have done it this way, that way. Wasting our energy for nothing at all. Our energy is making yourself small ! But if this spiritual energy is used, because you can use it, you are the ones

 33 July-August 2001 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-Xill Issue 7 & 8 something like banging-banging- banging. I said ,what is the matter? I thought he is suffering from epilepsy or what. Sol rushed to other people and told them that this gentleman is suffering from epilepsy. They said " No, he doesn't suffer."I said why this sound comes?No,he is rubbing the chandan. You know, Sandal wood. And with such a big thud, every time he was putting that stone on the ground that I thought he had epilesly. They said, whatever you may tell him, he will never listen, he does it everyday. What is this? This we understand as stupidity when we see others, when we see human beings. But even realized souls, who are in the Realm with things which we should not have been identified. We can just find out, identified with ideas, identified with some sort of a consciousness. All these things make you really, to be very frank, they befool you. All the fools, who are conditioned are really, I don't know what to say about that, because they are like a train which has no driver. God knows when it is going to collide. Because such people who are identified, I know, now you must have seen also those who go to church, get ready nicely, go to church, sit down, sing hymns, come home and again quarrel and fight. But if they see a church, they will bow. Nothing goes inside of those who go to that church. All there are, who are like you must have seen the Jews, you see, wailing wall they have got and before that they do all kinds of things. What happens to them? Nothing. Same with the muslims. They are so conditioned. I mean, cannot be described about their conditionings, how stupid they are! And these conditionings go on making fool out of them. I know so many people. Once in my own life, I some relation of mine. This gentleman used to get up at four o' clock and would start singing some sort of a 'Ramraksha.' kills the joy, that kills the full experience The whole house is sleeping, children are of Reality. If you want to have the full sleeping but he is shouting at the top of experience of the beauty of reality, then his voice Even Rama might be sleeping you should shed out all these things at this time. But he would shout. His which are really befooling you morning bathing was another thing. Everybody till evening. People take advantage of knew that he is having the bath because he used to sing another shalokas or you,entrepreneurs, will start with one something, go on. But it happened that! fashion, every body will take to that. But was in the next room, and I heard of Reality, you do accept sometime unrealities, because of age old conditionings .Your forefather was like this, your father was like this, your forefather's forefathers were like this .So SO that is still coming. They call it genes. But in Sahaja Yoga these genes also change. So this kind of a conditioning which is lingering on still to your bodies, to your minds, to your emotions, has to be seen and cleansed out because that was with such people very much. As I have told we are not brainless people. Not only that

 34 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIII Issue 7 &8 July - August 2001 facing us because of stupidity. This integration, I am sure, will take place and when that takes place, you will see the life of the Divine will be absolutely out- shining all these darknesses or destructive forces. Its is going to happen. If so many Sahasraras could be opened out, then why not the Sahasrara of this world also is opened out to truth and reality. It will. we have brains, but also enlightened brains. We do not take to things which are just in fashions, we don't, What we do, we have our own fashion. This is not ego. This is identification with your own Spirit. You won't take to any thing stupid or non -sensical, if you have the wisdom of spirit in you. So in the Realm of Reality, We have all the seven chakras, absolutely enlightened, integrated nourished. At that position, what we see is Ourselves, as I said as nothing is limited. Absolutely unlimited. Even this when we say, we penetrate, we do. When we say we expand, we do. When we contract, we do. Its absolutely a flexible personality and a personality that creates peace, joy, harmony. With the Sahasrara opening, I am sure, the whole world will be integrated. One day I will understand these problems that are So today is such an important day for us. In the history of spirituality, I think it is the very important day. For us is to realize that we are enlightened, we are the light of joy, light of compassion, light of love. Like the silent flames of the Sahasrara, in and different colours, beautifully dancing. Then we will know what the enjoyment of reality is. May God Bless You.

But if anybody comes to them they give shade, they give say:-" Come along, what do you want? person comes to you, to steal. You'll You'll offer him tea and all that. Then fruits. he says "I have come to rob you." Attachment means death of love, alright, rob me, if you want to"- So he death of love is attachment. For might not rob you at all.

If some mistakes may be committed, what does it matter? If you see on the abstract plane. It's love. This is just a step forward, like somebody ran very fast and fell down before reaching ME and says, Mother, Sorry, I fell down before reaching you, I should not have done that. But Mother see how, I prostrated before you" It's a complete poetry- detachment. So, one has to develop no value unless and until there are emotions behind it. For example, the sari I am wearing today, was bought for Guru Day, Guru Purnima. But they had no sari. The other day, they wanted to have sari for Puja. Then I said if you insist I may have, but I wore it today just to say that this was bought with that devotion, that love that on Guru that detachment to be a Guru. And that Day, Mother would like to wear detachment does not mean sanyas or something of a lighter shade; white - anything like that. Sometimes one has the pure colour of silk-complete to wear those dresses to announce to detachment. But in white all the colours the world because, if you have to work are mixed, then only it becomes white,- in a short time then you have to take to such a balance and unity it is .It should that intensive behaviour ,like Christ, be that you should become white and you can say or Adishankaracharya.

Now, the fourth statute of the Lord is, to lead a moral life. These Statutes "Thou shalt not commit adultery", Christ has said: (perhaps He knew the modern people as they would be using their brains for this ). He said " Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes". What a vision, in those days to think! Even I were given by Gurus. Take them from Socrates onward, Moses, Ibrahim, Dattatreya, Janaka, Mohammed Sahib and take up to the point when it was about a 100 years back at the most, was Sainath. All of them have said that

He should not have people are possessed, they cannot things that are symbolic of adharmikta, of irreligious life. Everything that he has or wears or shows should be is to be looked after. That is the representative of his Dharmikta. most important thing Because Anything that is impure, giving bad attention is the one which is going vibrations should not be possessed. Even whatever you have, you should think to whom you can give this. So, it means you should have possessions see through these things. They are supposed to be Christians. Attention to be enlightened. So, we have to know what morality is. Let people laugh and say that these are goodie goodies or this sort of thing. We are proud and not ashamed of being righteous people. This is a very important part of righteousness. Those who do not follow this will lose their vibrations very fast. to express your generosity. A Sahaja Yogi has to be generous like the sea. A miserly Sahaja Yogi, I cannot think of that- it is like mixing of darkness with light. Miserliness is not allowed in Sahaja Yoga. Anybody

Then, for a Sahaja I can save, how much labour I can Yogi it is important to use things which save-there are many labour saving are more natural in their character, devices, and money- saving devices- Give up articiality by and be more and also cheating others or making natural. I do not mean that you take out money out of a few things here and the roots and eat them or you eat the there, and all such things are against fish raw. I do not mean that. Always Sahaja Yoga. They will put you down. Enjoy your generosity. How many things. But try to lead a life which is times have I told you about more natural. Natural, in the sense that Generosity? Apart from the way you people know there is no vanity about give it, the emotional side is so beautiful, you cannot imagine it. I met a way round. You see they will dress up lady after say 30 years of her married life in London, suddenly, and she said," attention. I mean there can be both Oh, What a coincidence," i said ways. Then I find some people "Why?" She said" I am wearing the colouring their hair and all that. So you same pearl necklace you had given me on my wedding day, today, and I behaviour. So, be natural. It can mean should meet you". The whole thing, the anything absurd also to some people whole drama changed with that who do not use their wisdom. meeting. It is how you give even a small thing. It is the greatest art of giving that one has to learn in Sahaja Sahaja Yoga. That you have to keep Yoga. Give up the mundane type of intact all the time. Natural means you things, like if you go to somebody's must wear natural dresses, which are birthday, you send a card," Thank you suitable to you, e, g. in this climate very much". Make it a more deeper there is no use to wear dress like significant thing. Let us see how you RAMA used to wear. He will not wear develop your symbols of love. When anything on the top, there was no you have these things of vibrations and you will give it to a Sahaja Yogi, he will you must avoid going too far with the you. Some people can be the other as a tramp, just to attract more have to be a very natural person in your Wisdom is very important in need.You have to wear the dress of whatever country you belong to, whatever suits the occasion. Whatever you think is dignified and good. It speaks for your more elegance and your personality. Whatever suits you, you should wear, not like all the people wearing moss- coloured dress, the great suit, horrible looking and making know what it is. Never lack in generosity specially among Sahaja Yogis. Gradually, you will be amazed how through small things you win over, as if the vibrations flow through these things and work out

For example in open to all religions and the essence and expression of their worship of their of all religions you have to take. You bodies, because you must respect have not to denounce any religion or insult any religious incarnation at any time. It is a sin. It is a great sin in Sahaja Yoga- and you know who they are. There should be no racial saris are expressive of their moods your body. Dresses should be such that they should be for utility as well as for dignity. There is no need to have uniform clothes for Sahaja Yogis at all. I don't like it. There should be a variety as nature is. Every-one should look a different person. For Puja etc. all can wear something similar, it doesn't matter But outside you should be a You understanding of oneself. You could be Chinese or any group. As long as we are human beings, we should know that we laugh the same way, we smile the same way, we hold the same way. This is all conditioning in our mind- of this society that some are touchables and some are untouchables. This is in all normal are person. householders, nobody has to announce something. For you people I don't even advise to put the red mark when walking on the street. You should be a normal person, not to be pointed out. You need not be dressed absurdly or in a funny way, but in a normal way as others wear. To be normal is very important in Sahaja That is why, deliberately, he was b Yoga. our Indian Community. Horrible. Brahamanism of India has ruined India completely and you learn from it, for example, who was Vyasa, the one who wrote Geeta, who was he? He was the illegitimate son of a fisher-woman. born like that. All the Brahmins who read Geeta, ask them -who was Vyasa? Then we have to know that Brahmins are those who are realized souls, there is nothing like where and Sahaja Yogis have to get over all kinds

I just can't lager (beer), morning till evening. All understand. If somebody is fair or this training and conditioning has to be dark, after all God had to make variety thrown away just like filth, and see that in colour in every way. Who told you God created all of you as His own that you are the most handsome children. It is such a beautiful thing. Why do you want to make it ugly with these ugly ideas? All this ugliness of" I like or dislike" is in what caste or community you are born. With all going around? Maybe for markets people some here, or in Holly- wood, it may be fit but in the Kingdom of God, all these nonsense. Only there should be one word "I love" so- called 'hand- some peopile will be denied entry- Forget everything. There is no need to remember what marrying seven the British did to husbands and all the Indians or the sort of things. They will all be put in Hell. God has created Germans did to the Jews.

But, there is too much 'showing-Off' they today, I authorise you to be the Gurus. are doing. Some people like black hair, So that through your own character others like red hair, I mean there have and through your own personality the to be all types of hair, why do you like a way you practice Sahaja Yoga in your particular type of hair, this I can't own life- and manifest the light, others are dead and finished. We are different people. We are Saints. This is for the statutes I have told will follow you, And that will establish the statutes of the Lord in their hearts understand. and emancipate them. Give them their salvation, because you have got your salvation. You are the channels- There is nothing to like or dislike.

But if you are still running after non-
sensical things, if you are still full of lust
and greed, then better you leave Sahaja
Yoga into itself and you can find some
other area where you can do that. It is
something surprising, how people do not
understand their position in Sahaja Yoga!
Your growth has been on the whole, very
good. I know there are many people who
are wonderful Sahaja Yogis, Who are
really great Sahaja Yogis and they have
every right to call themselves Sahaja

inauspicious. They call it protocol. But
there are small things which show you
are auspicious, very-very minute subtle
things that show you are auspicious,
which you don't have to learn.
Automatically, spontaneously, it comes
and you enjoy your auspiciousness.
Because you are holy, because you are
Nirmal, and you enjoy that quality within
you. When that happens that is your
Birthday.

harmonious. It creates such harmony
among people that you see the

enjoyment of each other's achievements
is so much joy giving that I cannot

Words cannot communicate to you the

to raise the Kundalini. How to judge the

you should love each other. If you do not

This is our special temperament, think.
We are very corrupt people. India has
become so corrupt that I can't believe it.
I was here about 35 years back. We had
never heard of corruption. Now they have
become so corrupt and that's what enters
into Sahaja Yoga. When that enters into
Sahaja Yoga they will be just found out
and will be punished, not by me, or by
you but their own Kundalini. So every
country has its own speciality as far as
doing something wrong. We are not here
to do anything wrong. We are not going
to express ourselves as wrong people
but we are here to prove that we are
perfect, we are wonderful people. That
is what is the Self, that we are perfect.
We don't have to go according to what
negativity, we can call it as 'Adharm' we were. It's a new realm we have
which is fighting. So you stand on your reached. Its the new area we have
reached and let us enjoy that great area.
I will be very happy to say that today
Thave seen so many of you are such good
Sahaja Yogis. Somany of you. Andif you
find anyone who is not, please report it to
me. Please tell me. Please find outif there
is anyone who is trying to be very
oppressive and who is trying to control
everything, who is trying to make money,
who is trying to have lust and greed. It is
to be expressed. So once you have really
worked out, you should know that this is
the area, what we call 'Dharam Yudh'.
'Dharam Yudh' means the warof religion.
But not the way people are fighting. Our
Dharam Yudh is that we are standing on
Dharma and Dharma means not religion
butitis 'Vishwa Nirmala Dharam'. You are
standing on our religion and this
Dharma. Unless and Until you are
dharmic you can not have any
achievementin Sahaja Yoga. I have seen
people who are abroad, they have funny
ideas and they will come and tell me,
Mother "I have a wife but l am in love with
another woman, so what should I do?" I
said, You get out, that's all. Just get out.
Or he may say, the wife might say that
"Mother see I am having relations with

"You get out. that's all. You get out of
Sahaja Yoga. You are no good for Sahaja
Yoga and Sahaja Yoga is no good for you.
Isa complete outcast. They havenothing
to do with Sahaja Yoga.
I think all of you understand me that
today I am little worried about people who
are dragging Sahaja Yoga down and
they should understand that I understand
everything. When they will be harmed
they should not blame me for that. It is
obvious that they are no where near
Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga purifies you
everyday. You see one experience, you
see one person, you see some events
and it purifies you. That's the sign.
Supposing I see somebody a dishonest
man, immediately I start finding, I hope I
am not doing any dishonesty myselfl Just
imagine, that you are the one who is the
curator, correcting influence on yourself.
Where do you stand? Do you stand on

dishonesty. They are dishonest people.

certain problems which we should know.
When you feel responsible, you must
know that you are not incharge, one
thing, secondly, you also must know
that there are so many other forces,
so many Angels and Ganas are with
you. You are not alone. So, to think
that you are doing anything will make
you, may be, egoistic. At that time,
what you have to do is best to say, 'all
right, I am not doing anything, it is the
Divine that is working it out.' Not that
the Divine wants any credit for it. But by
saying that, this balloon of ego will not
come up, and you will become humble.
This humility will definitely improve this
gravity of spirituality within you. Definitely,
it will make you a very evolved
personality, no doubt about it. But first
of all, we have to say, "I am not doing
anything ". It is a very important to
understand when you have Spiritual
authority to do things. It is not a testing

whether he is highly placed, or not doing
much in life, this integration, this
oneness, is feeling of identification with
others, makes you so large, so big, so
great, so powerful. You are not alone and
you say, "I am not doing anything." So
you become so humble that you forget
all these false ideas about class
consciousness or religion consciousness
or, I don't know,all sorts of consciousness
people have. I don't know much about
these consciousnesses that human
beings suffer from, but I have seen how
it happens. And then that humility
becomes your character, not that you are
humble because there is something to be
done, you are humble. When people are
doing some sort of a business then they
wil be extremely humble and nice and
they will be very unkind otherwise. Here
you become absolutely humble and there
is no duality in your personality left. But
that doesn't mean you become weak.
Humility is only possible for people
who are strong, because they don't
need any reactions. They don't need any
protection. Their humility keeps them
