So the inner awareness of all these elements, they knew about it and But, we had two types of that's why they worshipped those journeys. One is through the left side elements. So before the puja, they and another through the right side.

Without the left doing right side tapasya-that is, Side, right side is very dangerous. If going into the five elements, one after you don't have right side, of course, it's a big dangerous thing also, but first you must have development of your left side. That is what, to begin with, another, and mastering the five elements. Of course, there is truth in it, no we had in Sahaja Yoga. doubt.

All By doing that, you see, they are climbing the ladder of a horrible right side, which can give you horrible these gurus used to curse a person because they had no compassion, no love, nothing but their powers of the diseases. right side.

You are one with the Divine. Now you can power. It is not. It is not at all because, though you are not come to the right side and know about right side and try to express your right side. You can express it not by dominating others, but by dominating yourself. By self-examination, by understanding what's wrong with you. Why do you behave like that? Why do suppressed by other powers, negative powers, but your own power takes your life. So kundalini, when it is risen, the best thing is to go to the left side, not criticizing others, not talking ill you trouble others? Why do you of others, but seeing within you what's wrong. Find out what is the matter always, I have seen, organize and overpower others? Such people will with you. First it starts with self arrange and do this and do that.

That is extremely much interested in your so-called 2003 14 January - February The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Isue 1 & 2 powers, or in your ambitions, then Sahaja Yoga cannot do anything.

Because of the human beings If you understand this point, that at this time why are you in this world and what is the need of the world, you being in the wrong. What we have to will immediately start feeling the do is pass them the knowledge of the responsibility. Whether you are man Divine. That should be your desire or a woman is not important. Go all and that is what you'll feel very much out to preach this thing, make people understand about Sahaja Yoga. comfortable with. All other desires, all other wants In every way that is possible and are, as you say, such transitory. One desire is to spread Sahaja Yoga is so I think then you will become complete beautiful that you go on working on it as gurus. and every time you do that you will be so joyous and happy, you'll have you cannot be a guru. Guru also no problems of any kind. That's the doesn't mean that you go on preaching If Sahaja Yoga is just with you, about Sahaja Yoga, talking about Sahaja Yoga, giving lectures about Sahaja yoga-no. It means the one sign of greatness of Sahaja Yoga and I want you all to become like that. As today's day is great because we are thinking of all the great saints who gives Realisations to others. How many people you give who came on to this Earth and who tried to lead us. What they did, all of Realisation is the thing not to be them, tried to spread the truth all over counted, but to be felt within like the world. They suffered a lot, they ripples, waves of the ocean of love in your heart. So beautiful it is to see had problems, so many problems, but they worked very hard in every way that people get Realisation and are to spread Sahaja Yoga and talk about immersed in the joy of spirituality. God and divinity. That's what I want-you to do. That's why I'm on this Earth. All that is that today you have to give Me, a promise that whenever you get any other human being, you can tell I had to suffer also quite a lot. It doesn't matter, so called suffering.

Those people who killed him, May God Bless You. Guru Purnima July 24, 2002 News from Cabella It started as a part of a French seminar in the hangar at Cabella. Our brothers and sisters from France wanted to do puja and then go to the Castle and offer a music programme to the Adi Shakti. When Mother received this request she said that they had chosen the day of Guru Purnima and if there were to be a puja, it would be better if She were present! At about 5 p.m. this news came from the Castle, and it spread like wildfire. Telephone calls and SMS messages flew around Italy. Yogis leapt into cars and set off. The people who were in the hangar still, after Guru Puja, just three days before, couldn't believe their luck! The French yogis calmly prepared for the puja. At eight p.m. there were nearly three hundred people in the hangar, including Daglio Camp, and then Shri Mataji arrived. It was so incredible for many of us who had never been so close to Mother before during puja. She spoke about this being the real day of the Guru (It was a full moon) but that for the convenience of the yogis we had performed puja at the weekend. Also she spoke about fanaticism in religion and how we had to spread Vishwa Nirmala Dharma. She mentioned the death of Kabira and the miracle of the two kinds of flowers, then She said there is no place for cruelty amongst us. She blessed us saying that She was giving those present a boon of being able to spread Sahaja Yoga. Shri Mataji spoke of several other subjects. Luckily a yogi had the foresight to bring a video camera, and then She invited the children onto the stage to wash her feet. At this point every child in the hangar converged on the stage, there seemed to be even more than during Guru Puja! As there was no age limit specified there were some rather grown up children on the stage 17 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 2003 and it was beautiful to see the joy on the faces of teenagers who probably had thought they would never have had such an opportunity again. After this some presents were given, alongwith flowers from various collectives, and then the French Yogis asked permission to start their concert. Already there was such a lovely family atmosphere in the hangar, and incredibly strong vibrations, but when the yuva shakti started singing we felt like we were being lifted into another dimension! This was followed by two beautiful kawalis that had everyone dancing. The singing was of an extraordinarily high quality and was followed by flute music and a violin raga, both of which were absolutely wonderful. At midnight Shri Mataji left us after nearly four truly unforgettable hours. The French finished a perfect evening by making a delicious meal for all their brothers and sisters. Many, many heartfelt thanks to them, and thank you, Shri Mataji, for so graciously consenting to this magical occasion. With Love From Italy GURU PURNIMA TALK Cabella Ligure, 24/07/2002 The Purnima is the day when the moon is full. I knew this, but for Sahaja Yogis we have to arrange Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Whenever either it is on the date or not, we have to arrange it in that case. This time, it was, I think, two days before. So it doesn't matter, after all, moon is there for us and we are for moon, so it can't be something that would have very wrong in it. I have already told you such a lot about the Guru Principle. And the Guru Principle, we have seen people who came on this Earth, they were all mostly born realised, actually, and they never gave Realisation to anyone. It is a very big difference. They were all born as realised souls and they became Sufis. And they are called by different names, but they were not given Self January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 19 Realisation. They had it and because of their Self Realisation, as they had, they have so much of knowledge and that is what they try to impart to people. They knew all about chakras. Everything they knew. Somehow, must be in their past life achievements that they knew it. Perhaps some of them were disciples of other very great people. I don't know how they had full ideas about what Self Realisation is and what do we achieve after Self Realisation. Now the only person, I think, Mohammed-Saheb is the one who has talked about miraj - it is the ascent through our kundalini. Of course, in India they did talk about it, but in any other country they didn't say it so clearly that there is something called miraj. And not only that, He talked of miraj, but also he talked of the resurrection when your hands will speak. Two things He said-first that your hands will speak when you will have your Realisation. It's a very great thing to say because that is how you can ascertain and you can be sure that you got your Realisation. That's the sign He gave. And the second thing He talked about miraj and the white horse He said was nothing but the kundalini. He didn't use the word kundalini, but He said it's a white horse. So He is the one who knew what should happen to the people when they got their Self Realisation. That's the great revelation to all of you and of such a help to Sahaja Yoga. You are all realised souls because you can feel the vibrations, one thing, and, secondly, how you have become, He explained it very clearly. We have so many saints in India, so many of them, one better than the other, and whatever they talked, whatever they said, is so remarkable, is so remarkable. But actually, human beings, I think, are very dumb, that they never realised that we have so many saints here. Even in Turkey, we had Sufis, where it's a Sunni religion, there too. We had so many Sufis all over the world. We had realised souls. They were not incarnations, but they were born realised souls. So you see, their explanation and everything is very good because they were human beings and whatever they said was very much good for human 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 20 January - February beings to understand. Because an incarnation said something, it is something from the beyond and this new, I should say, advance of the people, who were really human beings and had become realised souls and how they have talked about the various things, is very remarkable. Firstly most of them were poets and this-we had Kabir in India. We don't know how he was born, where he was from, who were his parents. It's absolutely not known, despite that you can only make out from their poetry that he was the great, great Sahaja Yogi and how he has described things- very interesting! He brought forth so many fundamental truths in his poetry and he talked about it. He didn't belong to any religion, as such. When he died there was a fight between Hindus and Muslims, "What should we do with his body?" And they say when they had lifted the sheet, which was covering his body, they found flowers, two types of flowers, one for Hindus and one for Muslims. So that's how he has solved the problems of this stupid fight people were having. In Sahaja Yoga we are not belonging to any such stupid religion. We belong to one religion, that is Vishwa Nirmala Dharma and all the stupidity of all these religions we should really throw away because what you just see now today everywhere, every religious group is fighting each other, beating each other, finishing each other. It is not the way a religious person should be like, but they are killing each other! I mean, all kinds of horrible things they are doing, unbelievable how they can do that-such cruelty? And first thing for a yogi or for a saint is that cruelty is absolutely not there. They will sacrifice their lives. They will do anything, but they will not be cruel to any other person. Now, those who, in the name of God and in the religion, are cruel are actually not at all, by any chance, religious people. So this is what the perversion of religion is. We all should understand, if we belong to Sahaja Yoga then for us kindness, sweetness, compassion and love are the main qualities that we should have and if you don't have that, then you are not a Sahaja Yogi. So we are a different clan, I should say, different personalities, who have vibrations. But as I said that now you must spread it because I have The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January-February 2003 21 come on this Earth just for people to get their emancipation, get their Realisation and unless and until all the people who believe in their emancipation get it, I won't be happy. There are many people who do believe, but not yet got their Realisation, so you have to work and you will be amazed, you will find people who are very anxious to get their Realisation. It will work out on this Guru Purnima day. It is a very auspicious day. I bless you with a special power that you can give Realisation to others. Don't get involved in your own problems. That's not important. That will all be solved. Mostly, what I get letters about is their own personal problems or some sort of other problems. What you should do is to see what is your problem within you, what is happening within you, why we are having a problem within, what is our duty, why we have got our Self Realisation, why we have got this wealth of spirituality and what should we do with it. I tell you, really think about it every day, even for half an hour and you will realise that you are very well equipped people. Saints have done so much. They have written so many things, they have fought the people. They did everything. You don't have to do anything like that, but one thing is that you must spread Sahaja Yoga. Even now Sahaja Yoga is not so much accepted everywhere. People don't know about it. It's surprising, while all kinds of horrible gurus are very well known. So we have to do it by our behaviour, by our understanding, by our whole life. People should say that these are something rare people and different people. I am happy, today is another day of Guru Purnima, which is a very auspicious day and to be regarded as a very big blessing for you because this gives you-I mean, this is a certificate, that you all are capable of being gurus. You have to become that. Becoming is important in Sahaja Yoga. Becoming is important. All other things are really of no use. You have to become. Specially ladies are shy. I think. They can do a lot and they should work it out. They are shy for nothing at all. What is the need to be shy? They The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January -February 2003 22 are very shy, ladies, and they just don't get into the whole working of Sahaja Yoga. You should. If the ladies start talking about it, I think it will work much faster. I bless you all to do this work, which was left half done by the saints. It's your duty to complete it. May God Bless You. Mountain I see a mountain from my window Standing like an ancient sage Desireless, full of love. So many trees and so màny flowers They plunder the mountain all the time.

This is the eternal play The mountain sees Without desires. Mataji Skri Nirmala Devi SHRI KRISHNA PUJA 18, August, 2002, Canajoharie USA Today we are going to worship Shri Krishna as a very great personality and you know why He came on this Earth, to establish this, is the new form of-not Virata, not Virata, but a form by which this country became so prosperous and, by His Advent only, He created a beautiful mentality among the people, how to develop this country with dharma. And you had very great leaders, who followed Him and who worshipped Him in a way and created a new world of this America, But, unfortunately, as the time passed on, His form vanished from the minds of the people. The reason was Krishna was represented here by very, very wrong type of people, who had no idea about Shri Krishna, that He was a great master of wealth, that he knew how to use the wealth and how to create the wealth with dharma, not with adharma. They all forgot about it completely, and gradually started using manoeuvring powers, all kinds of-all kinds of adharmic things- cheating, grabbing money, spending their money in absolutely useless things. He's Kubera. He doesn't need any money, of course. He achieves money and not only that – He lived in money. They said that He created a golden house for Him, absolutely made with gold in Dwarika, but it's submerged in the water, in the sea and nobody believed that it is true. But now they have found out this under the waters, in very deep waters. So all their conjecture about Him was wrong, all false, that He was definitely a man who made lots of money by dharma. Also was a son of a king and He built this Dwarika out of gold. It is still there and people have fo it, but under the sea. Thousands of years have passed, but still exists. Only nd because perhaps it belongs to Shri Krishna, it is still existing. That's what it The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 2003 25 Sahaja Yogi has his own spirit to enjoy. More than anything else, he doesn't want to possess anything. It's a headache to possess things also. is, because He was the one who was for satya, for truth. He was for truth and He worked out everything on the principle of truth. Whatever was not truth, He tried to finish it off. Whatever was destructive, He tried to remove that and He established Himself through truth only. He's the one who represents the truth, absolute truth and how the truth can prevail in everything. I'm just the opposite of Him because I don't understand money at all, but He's looking after that part in My life. I'm so hopelessly bad. I don't understand banking. I don't understand money. I can't even count money. Now what can you say to that? But He's there to look after me and I never have a dearth of money, never a dearth of any wealth. It's all full of it. Also it comes through your sense of satisfaction. If you have that sense of satisfaction, you don't look for money. What happened in your country that some people got money. If you got little money, then you get the taste of money. They're not satisfied people, so, like mad, they went on spending on nonsensical things. It is something very much human. After human evolution, after you have reached a certain state of enlightenment, then all these demeaning things like greed all disappear from your character. You don't have that greed in you any more and you become extremely a satisfied person. To you, money is there, all right, but it's not so important. It is just that 26 January-February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 you think you don't need it and you get it-all done by Shri Krishna all over. Can you imagine? He's doing all this looking after you and helping you with money. It started .. Sahaja Yoga without a single penny. I never had any problem. So one thing, as Kubera, He's the supplier of wealth. He looks after people who don't have money. He gives money to people who stand by truth, who enjoy the life of truth. It is His work that people enjoy wealth, otherwise they don't. They have this much. They want to have more. That means they don't enjoy the wealth. They have a little, they want to get much more. Why? Because they are not enjoying whatever they have. But after Self Realisation, you will see that you enjoy whatever you have. You enjoy it full, absolutely and you do not hanker after something that is not there. Doesn't matter if you don't have. Many a times, people have asked Me, 'Mother, why not we have the puja of Krishna as Kubera?" I said, 'All right.' Just now, everybody's trying to become Kubera., Let them learn a lesson. And then we'll have the puja of Kubera and that's why today, I've agreed to have this puja. Because now you have seen what happens if you have greed. You go on committing all kinds of sins, all kinds of wrong things, which can destroy your country. Such a rich country has now become a poor country. Where is that money gone? They're very clever. Somebody told Me today, it's money is with the insurance. "My God," I said, 'the law is such that you can't get out that money.' Secondly they said that it is in offshore and all that. I said, 'But see now, they were never afraid that they would be caught and they continued for so many years, but I'm sure one day they'll be all exposed by Kubera Himself. So, today, by worshipping Kubera, what we are doing we are going to establish the truth of money. What lies behind the money? What is the point of having money? This country had money. As a result, so many good people came here to work and you had so many complementary things. You had lots of people who complemented because, I think, in certain things Americans were a little less -not in intelligence, but in brilliance, I think they were a The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 27 January Febuary 2003 little bit lacking, so they got very brilliant people from abroad. And also they were very focused people, so they worked it out very well. Also they respected people who came with brains. So this is what happens when you forget that truth is the main point. If you don't have the truth, no use having money, because what you did was to go around with this thing, that thing, I mean all kinds of things to just get money. The other day I was travelling through Las Vegas, last week and when we stopped at that airport, so many people walked into the aeroplane and they all were looking like somebody's dead in their family, What has happened?" First I couldn't understand. Then they said, Mother, they have lost all their money." So when they have money, they are jumping. Next moment they are crying because they have lost the money. What's the use of such a money, which is so temporary, which is so useless, But that is human nature to run after maya and this is the quality of money that he gives you maya-maya like this, that they get a little money somehow. With that little money, they buy something, then they think money is very important. You can buy lots of things. You can buy cars. You can buy aeroplanes, this, that. So this is where maya plays on you and you start running after that mad money, which makes you mad. It's nice that at this juncture they have discovered the falsehood of this maya money and I am so happy that they were all handcuffed and all their power of money was finished. So this Kubera is working out all these tricks. Krishna is a very tricky, extremely tricky personality. He puts the tricks, every action after every action. Now money matters, He first befools you, that you run after it and then you just discover that it was stupidity. We have a story in our country called Sheikhchilly. He got little money and he got into the grab of this maya. So he thought I can do very well, so he started dreamning as to what he could do. So he went and bought lots of eggs and he said, 'Now these eggs will have little little chicks, which will grow, which I'll sell and I'll have so much money. It was like that he was talking. The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 28 2003 And while thinking about it in his mind, went off to sleep and then in his sleep he fell on the eggs and all the eggs broke. So the maya was over. This should happen early, but if it doesn't happen, then you end up in the jail or something like that. Sahaja Yoga is one thing which gives you a complete vision, complete vision of the destruction that can follow this maya business. It is something such an insight that you don't have to do anything with it. I am different. I told you I don't understand it at all, but even if you understand the value of money, even if you understand that money can bring lots of things to you, despite that, you don't look at it, just turn your face. That is the sign of a real Sahaja Yogi. To him it doesn't matter, temperamentally. It's not that he does something for that or tells 'that's mine.' Temperamentally, he doesn't care for money just because he is above it. The one who is above money is a real Sahaja Yogi. The one who is engulfed in the nonsense and the maya of money is not a Sahaja Yogi. Of course, I have seen most of the Sahaja Yogis are extremely have honest, especially in the West. But in India there's a disease. As you here some viruses, we have certain viruses in India also, so they still go on running after money. To them money's important. But in the evolutionary process, if you reach a certain stage where you rise above your Nabhi Chakra, then money's not so important. It's not so important. To Me, I find I cannot buy things unnecessarily. Of course, I mean, there were so many unnecessary things they are giving me, give presents this, that. But Myself, you will be amazed, I'm so nervous or, I should say, hesitant or whatever you want to call it, absolutely absent from the spot where they are doing any business, any purchasing. All this is you have to fix it. That is the point. In the same way, Sahaja Yogis have to fix their mind to their spirit and enjoy the powers in your spirit, your own. That enjoyment, once you get it, you don't fall to your greed. This is something very, very simple, but sometimes you don't do it. You get Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 29 January February 2003 enamoured by something, maybe a car, maybe aeroplanes. I don't know what whatever it is. It's a headache to have too many cars, isn't it. But people have. They think, by that, people are impressed and they think no end of themselves or not. Nothing. If they are impressed, what is the use to us? What do you get out of it? Sahaja Yogi has his own spirit to enjoy. More than anything else, he doesn't want to possess anything. It's headache to possess things also. The other side of it is a Mahalakshmi. If that principle is within you, Mahalakshmi principle, you'll never have a problem of money. On the contrary, you will know how to stop it. So far, as I am concerned, I get fed up of My Mahalakshmi principle because I don't know from where it works out, how it works out, without any effort! But temperamentally, I have no interest at all- temperamentally. But it is there-I don't know what is the cause of this effect. Now supposing I buy some small thing, just like that, it will sell atleast ten times more. It will be of value at least ten times more, I don't know how! It's very surprising. Automatically, I'll buy something very small and I find it's very expensive. How it works, that must be miracles of Mahalakshmi, I think. So what I have to tell you is this- that you should not worry about your financial situations at all. Do not go on calculating. Do not see how much money you have in the bank, what you have to do with your money, where you should invest. I have seen people going mad, planning the whole thing. There's no need to do that once you are a Sahaja Yogi. It all works automatically. The greed is within you, just like any other disease. As you have diseases, greed is also there. As your diseases can get cured with Sahaja Yoga, your diseases - as much as your greed is -it vanishes. Don't know what a greed is. The only way to counter-balance is to become extremely generous. If you are extremely generous, greed will run away. That may be another way of doing it. Supposing you get something in your house and you think it is to much, how to get rid of it, but just to think it's too much, you should give it to 30 January- February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 someone. You just start thinking whom can you and immediately you'll remember, 'Oh, that person doesn't have this. Let me give him this.' And if you give him, he will be so thankful, so thankful and he'll say all kinds of nice things to you, which normally nobody would say to you, nobody. And it's surprising how joy-giving it is, how people like your generosity. So you have to be generous, just generous, not with yourself, but with others. As much as possible, be generous. Generosity is very love-giving, one of the expressions of your love. Many a times it has happened with Me that I saw somebody needed something and kept it in My mind and I bought that thing and gave it to that person and the amount of love that person gave Me was thousand times more than what I would have got joy out of buying it, buying that thing. It was so insipid for Me, but for him it was not. He told so many people, 'Mother gave me this. Mother gave me.' I was surprised. Then they asked me, 'Mother, how did you give him?" I said, 'Just out of love.' Many people took to Sahaja Yoga, thinking what a generosity is, so to be generous is the best way to live in this world. After all, it's a headache to have too many things. Better to get rid of them, but out of love. If you do that, you'll know how much they will be appreciative of you. Another thing is to get rid of greed, you should try to do some sort of a collective social work. Supposing you go to a place where lots of poor people are there, I tell you, your greed will just drop. Be amazed how these people are living, in what conditions! Why do I care for all this, wealth and everything? That will be just shocking. Sometimes, you see, you see people, in India also, in a very bad condition. Once I went to Calcutta and by chance, I happened to be in places where people were living in a very great poverty, even the children, and you'll be amazed, for days together I wouldn't eat My food. I was crying and not eating My food. I just didn't know what to do because I felt, 'What is this? Why these people are so?' And I was so helpless, so I was crying, that one day I should try to do something for them. It is really remarkable at a very young age of Mine, I started a leper home, I started an infirmary, refugee home, all kinds of things and I never even thought that whatever money I have, if I give to these people, I may have The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 2003 31 to give up somethings. I also sold some of My things because it is so pleasure- giving, I tell you, so pleasure-giving, so joy-giving to be generous. It is so paying in every way that you should be generous. That is the quality of Kubera. He's an extremely generous personality and that's what personality you should be. I've seen that Sahaja Yogis are very generous. So far, nobody has told me that somebody is a miserly fellow- so far, so far. But I am sure one day will come when we'll have people of very high quality. In Sahaja Yoga, we don't say, like other cults say, that you give up your clothes, you give up your family, you stay in a forest or in a hut or anything nothing of the kind. Don't give up anything. You have to give up from your heart. Just it should happen in your personality. Don't have to give up. And if you have that well built in spirituality, you'll not even think of grabbing someone. On the contrary, you will like to give up everything. My father was even worse than Me, I should say. He always used to leave the house open, all doors open. He said no thief will come if you keep the doors open. So one day a thief came and he took away his gramophone. In the old times, like these big horn ones, he took away. The next day My father was sitting very sad. So My mother asked, 'Why are you sad? Because of the gramophone?" 'No, I'm only sad because it seems a connoisseur of music has taken the gramophone, but no records.' So My mother said, 'All right, what should we do? Should we advertise in the newspaper that you take away the records?" I mean such a beauty that even after so many years, I am telling you and you are enjoying. What a beautiful character it was of generosity, but if you force it through religion, through any such ideas that you give up that - you don't have to give up. You give up from within. If you are not attached to it, you have given up. That should be there and if you all enjoy your generosity and charity - nothing like it. I have known people who are very rich and all that, but they lack generosity. That is another quality of Kubera. Apart from that, he perhaps understands banking, perhaps. That time, there were no banks, but I think must be because the way he manages banks, 32 January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 you know, it seems to Me that he's sitting on top of them and that's why still in the banks there is no problem. I don't know, but he is a very clever person, very intelligent, very alert, which is important if you have to deal with money. Though He was absolutely detached from money, and just see His life, what He did. He lived a childhood with His guru and He used to take, what do you call, the cows and herds outside in the jungles. That is how He lived in His childhood and later on He was playing with the boys who were looking after the cows in a very, I mean, ordinary family. He never hankered after money. He used to steal ... He used to steal the butter because these ladies used to sell that (butter) to Kansa's military people. So He used to eat that, so that these ladies should not give it to them. Just imagine such a little boy like Him. So actually how He was teaching them a lesson, those ladies were greedy, wanted to give that to these horrible soldiers and He would eat all that butter Himself. In everything that He did, what you see is extreme generosity, extreme generosity. With all His intelligence, He was so good and He killed His own uncle, I should say. For Him, it was not important.... so-called relations were not important. What you see in our India especially, that relations are very important. The father is a thief. His son is thief, his grandson is a thief, all of them are thieves. Can you imagine? I haven't seen in a family, if there's one person who is a thief, any one (of ) his progeny are honest. It's a very funny thing, but such greed crawls into their minds, that they don't think it is important. They just think that stealing is the only way one can live, though in India there are people who are extremely honest. I've seen our servants. They never steal nothing, never. I don't know, they have no reasoning for it. It's a matter of fact. They never steal anything very surprising. Why? Why don't they steal? They're happy with their lives. They don't want to change it. They don't want to have this horrible thing that can put them in jail. But they don't know. They don't even think about it. They just don't do it. Why? Because they have a sense of shame. In the poorer people, sense of shame is very, very developed. In that society, they have a great respect for people who are honest and they're all honest. 33 January-February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 &2 One of them may be not, but they have no respect for such a person because they think self-respect is the biggest thing. Can you imagine these poor people? They have food once a day, but to them their self respect is above everything. So the third solution for this kind of a nonsensical greed is your self-respect. Why should you steal? Why should you have anything that is stolen or why should you have anything that belongs to another person? If you have that self-respect within you, you won't touch anything that is not yours. When the servants can do that, why not people who are not that badly off. It is the temperament of a higher level, I think, which they develop, where their self-respect is much more important than all kinds of other things that may satisfy their greed. One thing about greed is (that) it is never satisfied. It is never satisfied. I've seen people who were very rich once upon a time became very, very poor. So, to them, life has become hell. They can't live without their greed, I should say, pomp and show. But they don't understand that it was false. They just go on feeling extremely downtrodden when they lose their money. Then there are people who want to have money. They'll do anything to get money. It's a very funny thing, but also power is the same as that. If you have your own powers, you don't hanker after these powers. But they want to have power because they want to have money and they get power with money. Can you imagine? Where are human beings? At what level? At what level of evolution they are? They are going round and round the circle of this money. This is Nabhi Chakra, which has to improve, which gives you satisfaction. If your Nabhi Chakra is satisfied, you have achieved the state of Kubera. That's very important to see that your Nabhi should be satisfied. There're so many other kinds of things we have, but now I think the worst is this greed and this, if it is managed somehow or other, brought to its own level, then I think world will be improved very much. May God Bless You. WHAT IS A SAHAJA YOGI Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi 17-05-1980 It is when you think of becoming then the preparation is done to become something and on the whole when you know that it is your ego and super ego which are loading you up, you have to scan them out with vibratory awareness. Now there are two types of attention. First is the constant attention that is the routine of a Sahaja Yogi and the second one is the emergency attention. I have been seeing that all the Sahaja Yogis must start writing their diaries- one with everyday's experiences. If you know that you have to write a diary, January - February 2003 35 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 you will keep your mind alert, and I? Then any special path or any another one wherever you get any special movement in the centre or left special idea of the past or of the future or right also should be mentioned, so also to jot it down.

So, the compensation of at the first stage of left side then you the left side is done by movement to will just do day dreaming. Oh! this the right and of the right side person is so much identified, that one movement to the centre. Left side is is so much identified as if you are the the Tamogeuna', right side is the best. It is just the human nature, you see. Oh that person is like that, he is 'Rajoguna' and the centre is the like that, this is very bad in the society, 'Satvaguna'. But, still these are three that is going bad in the society. It's better, then we can also go to this limit gunas. That's not the state which you have to achieve. About this I will tell you tomorrow more, how to go further to that guru is very bad and that as is with it. After scanning out which side another madcap, like that you see all is weak, you should plan out your is going on. How far it is affecting you? How far you are improving by that? That is not. It is just getting, style of life. For example if you are extremely thinking, analysing. It is a lazy style, lethargic, you cannot get up in the morning, you feel very sleepy in the night, you do not feel alert, then start sitting down and just analysing, it's a lazy style! The second thing could be when planning as to what will you do? How 37 January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1& 2 you come to the second side of it is you should take, to jump on to the Kriya. Then what happens when Satvaguna. On Satvaguna you start accepting it. You become extremely mild. You become a mild personality. At that time you do not discuss as to, you start doing it, then at least your attention is on what you are doing. It's not allowed to drift into something Oh I don't like it. This was wrong this and which goes into any nonsense and can, I mean, then you don't know from where the funny thoughts are coming. So, you start doing something, you should not have been. All these things do not come to you in Satvaguna. You start seeing it. That time you see. Alright doesn't matter, you understand On the contrary, you feel hurt, if you are a Satoguni that by any suggestion you have suggested your being? Can you get that point? You feel ashamed of your ego, I mean to say, if you are a Satoguni. For example even to say that this is my car, you will feel shy. That's a Satoguni or even to say why did you spoil my carpet. In India can go and plant some trees or you can go and plant some flowers or if you want you can do some cooking you can do some work. Take to work. That will help you, any work but while doing the work the problem will be, you'll develop ego. That's why when you are developing the ego you have to tell yourself you are not doing mister, this you are not doing. you are not doing. If you go on nobody will say. I can tell you, this is suggesting to your self then ego will regarded bad manners, absolute bad not come up and many things you see which normally trouble you and house and a carpet is spoiled, they trouble others – like you have will say let it be, does not matter. cleaned the room, alright. Then somebody comes and spoils this, you you burnt'? They will never say that get angry with that person. Naturally you have burnt my carpet, you have because you think you had done it. done anything to my, it is regarded bad First of all you don't clean the room. manners. Like here you see somebody If you clean the room then you be is sleeping and some body makes the prepared, it will be dirty, otherwise noise. The person, who is sleeping why should you clean? Now, if it is will never say that you are making dirty, well and good, if it is not dirty, noise and I had to get up. He will just well and good. This type of an attitude get up and ask 'do you need anything?" manners. If anybody comes to your Even if it is burnt, they will say, tare 38 January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 even if you do something, any work you do or anything you are doing, you That's difficult for people here to understand because ego is just sitting on them. But is bad manners there, but are just doing it because you want to you will find when you will go to do it. That is how you come on to India. You will find these are bad Satoguna. But normally it doesn't happen. It happens the other way manners, to say that. How to say oh I feel very comfortable, I mean to say round. For example a person is, say, *I feel comfortable' is bad manners, I doing something by any chance he feels hurt or he thinks that whatever mean they never say. I like it, so what. he has done is no good, people don't All these words are not to be said. If you are a Satoguni, then you just don't appreciate or may be he might think say. You say, do you like it? Is it that, oh it's not upto the point or whatever it is. Then the reaction for comfortable? Would you like to have him is not that he does not try to rise it? The whole attention goes from your side. Do you understand that? That is the style one has to develop. Tamoguna. He says, all right I will not to Satoguna but he goes back to Then you are a Satoguni. Otherwise do it, I will sleep over it, let them do you are still on ego trip. You see it, why should I do it. So the training that you have to have through your whatever you may feel, I don't like that, I, who are you? First of all ask Rajoguna goes a waste. It's just the question who are you? If God training period that you are with I don't like, I can understand, Rajoguna. You are doing something. Now, in the training period you have says, but for you to say, I don't like it, after to learn only how to come in the all, how did you come on this earth? How did you get the human birth? centre? For example now water is How did you get all these things? required for you to shave. If there is Now, think like that. Who am I? I am no water you cannot shave, alright? In the same way Rajoguna is required nothing. for you, to come to Satoguna. If you Anybody who thinks I am do not do any work, you cannot come something, he should know that he is nothing, makes no difference to God to Satoguna. So you are just working just to train yourself to be a witness. weather he exists or does not exist. Now, do you follow that point? You So, this point if you understand that are not doing it because you like a January February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 39 particular thing, you are used to a pleasure only you will get when you particular thing, because you want to be deep. This is not the way it is. You it's the training period. You are better are just doing it to learn how to be trained than the other one was, You patient, to practice your patience, to are at a higher class than the other one. see how much patient you are? Once So we have to be at a higher class. you start doing it you will be amazed For that this is just a training on and that you will never feel the burden of that's how we can really put our the work, but it never happens. Most preparation into practice into all of the people, if they find their work details to see how we work out our will do it with the understanding that is not effective they will go back to ego and superego. Today, in the Tamoguna. There are many attitudes. morning I have told you that your say, somebody is working. Then he intellect must imbibe this within thinks, why should I do all the work, itself, alright. And now I am telling others are not doing? He will go back you that your action. Action that you to their state. But those who are not do must be everytime branded by you working will not think that this person as just your training, any action you is working, let me also work. It's other do. Supposing you have to drive for way round, you see. This can be an miles together, you are trying your attitude of some people that if this patience. It is you who could do person is working, let him work. This is even a meaner style. Avoid just that, you go to a restaurant and somebody everything. Supposing you have to drop down from a helicopter or if they have takes out the purse, others start to drop from the parachute, you go on looking this side. It's very mean. doing it again and again, you practice it, you drop many a times. You break your legs, you break your hands, you do this, you do that, till you become a master. Do you understand my point? Driving same way. Till you become a master, you go on. In the same way Everybody should come forward and once you have paid you have paid its finished. Then you just don't start counting why did I pay? One should try. Any work has to be done, go forward with it. Do it with your heart. Don't worry if others are not doing you are doing this just to master your it. Just do it for its pleasure and the ego. Isn't it? 40 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January-February 2003 To know how these clouds are not alright, then Mataji must come up coming into us and that how we go and say, what do you mean by that? into our complete analysis. How these clouds are coming to us, you find Why should you say like that? What's wrong? about our different chakras. What are When you say that to yourself, the chakras we are catching? Here which is outside, then the attention comes the other constant attention starts moving towards your self which is Mataji and you start becoming that and you start feeling through your towards our chakras. Are our vibrations alright or not. Are we getting our vibrations? If not, what chakra am I catching, what must be the heart. So your Atma is to be satisfied by your Atma. There is nothing in between. It is you only in this dual cateh? I must raise my Kundalini, see for myself where is the catch. Do I do my meditation or not? If I do it, One is ingorance and the other is personality, has to satisfy yourself. am I doing it just dosingly or am I really in it? Am I really feeling it or knowledge. Now try to identify yourself with that Mataji call it or any not? Am I alert or not? All this is to be asiduously, sincerely, absolutely, xyz, whatever you call it, Atma. Just a drama, say. You just think that you are the Self-Spirit. So how will you address yourself? Let's see. Supposing you have to sit in my seat, truthfully worked out. Because, it is a process between yourself- Atamanyeva Atmanajayte. See it is so funny relationship that it is the Atman take it like that, and then you are is satisfied with Atma. You have sitting in front of me also, alright? So you are sitting here and sitting there. to be satisfied with yourself. There is nobody, Mataji is not concerned, Take a position like that, now you put nobody is concerned. It is you who is up yourself in the drama and you start concerned with yourself. For addressing yourself. "So Bala, how I example, you ask somebody. Says, I am like this Mother. Now think that are you?' And Bala says 'better!' If you are identified now with you are Mother – one personality. Another is say Mr. Don or Kingslay Mataji, gradually Bala will diminish, two alright? But if you are still identified You or someone. are personalities. So when you are telling with Bala, he will grow on this illusion. yourself in front of Mataji that I am 41 January-February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 You have to try to address For example, if you have a Prime yourself as if you are Mataji. It's a Minister and a Deputy Prime Minister drama. You sit before the mirror. In and a Minister three persons, airight? Now, if the Prime Minister is your Self and the Minister has to the mirror you see this outside of yours and here you are sitting, whatever you are, Mr. Don, for example. become the Prime Minister. So, he has to first become Deputy Prime Minister. Now Mr. Don is addressing the other Don there. Let him take up a role that I am the spirit. He'll say, I am After becoming Deputy Prime Minister he has to become Prime Minister. First Deputy Prime Minister the spirit and I am eternal. I am this. Nobody can destroy me. I am above and then the Prime Minister. But everything. That thing will go down. Supposing this fellow starts to jump over this, this will come up and hit I am a realised soul. I know what him and say, I am the one. And this spirit is. What are you talking? It will go down. This is how you start one is Ego. moving. That is only possible when first you become a Satoguni. If you are You understand the point. So you cannot surpass it. You have to merge not a Satoguni, with ego-I am this, this into this and then this into this. and you become a guru and sStart The movement has to be like that but minting money. if you try to just become this, actually First the ego is to be brought you will become this, not this. Because you cannot become this. You down, if there is still ego then without becoming Atma you become an ego. understand my point. So, even when So, first this journey should be doing this if you try sitting before brought in to the centre of Satoguna. mirror and telling yourself that you are That is why I say that when you are the spirit, who are the part of Virata, talking or doing anything, you must that you are the ocean because your know that it is your spirit which is drop has fallen into the ocean, then doing it. That's how you put your you must know that your drop has spirit in charge or say at the pedestal- fallen into the ocean. That's how first stage. Then when the spirit is you've become an ocean. If that stage there then from this stage to that stage, is missing then your saying that you are an ocean is absolutely bombastic. then you say that now I am the spirit. January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 42 And that's why one has to be very This perhaps I'll never catch also, to be very frank. But if I want to. know where I am catching I can find out but I don't want to. So, what I say, steady and careful absolutely steady as far as dealing with oneself. Because you know how this intelligence can cheat you. So, be very-very careful and when you are dealing with you, you must know you have to first overcome this ego. The alright I'll tell you where is the catch. At that time one's attitude could be that I must tell otherwise Mataji won't know, you see very funny! The second thing to overcome ego is to change one could be that I know where She your language, style, is to speaking the is catching and I must tell and Mataji also knows but she wants to test me. third person. [It] is a very good way. Like you must say, when you are should be careful. At this point people talking about yourself, this Mataji make mistakes. won't listen to me. This Mataji won't If I ask them where is it catching. do this. You see, so what happens. This Mataji will tell you part of it. I am catching on left heart but very Once you start separating this Mataji mild finished then, you get less away from yourself then that ego marks, you get less marks. You can get Mataji disappears. You understand? whatever it is because at least you're Like you can say, this Bala is like that. honest. Whatever it is. Supposing the fellow is not catching heart but you He won't listen. So whatever real Bala is left within you is alright. are feeling the heart, you will say heart. That's being honest. Then I will That's how you get rid of your ego and by understanding your centre, what tell you, who is catching the heart. But if you are. perhaps, yes Mataji, No Mataji then you get less marks, not very good art. I am not alright, I don't know. that's not a good art. You have you are catching, where you are catching, how you are catching, it would be really easy, for you to get rid of your ego. Now, see what Sahaja to tell who is catching. Then you pay more attention that you have to pass Yogis do. Supposing there are five Sahaja Yogis sitting. I mean you know that I know about everyone, through the test. This is just testing. Why? Because tomorrow you have to everything. I don't have to ask, what give realisation, you have to become is fact? Now, why do I ask? I show the gurus, you have to know all these complete ignorance. January-February 2003 43 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 things.

Now, every chakra, let's have a little testing, alright? You are going to answer the question. Children are very sure. They are cock sure of everything.

She said that and simplicity. Here are some of them: French playwright Moliere wrote about their stupidity.

THE JOY OF SPREADING I hope you all people understand the importance of spreading Sahaja WORK You have to be not egoistical, but Yoga. proud. Proud that you are Sahaja Yogis, proud that If you don't do that, you have been are you absolutely born in sucha time, when you useless. The greatest thing for Me, as you have have to carry on the duties of God's work, that so many lights here, we should God has chosen you. So first, you should come up have many more Sahaja Yogis all to that level. Like over the world, if you want to change this world and if you some people I find suddenly become morose, recluse in Sahaja want to avoid Yoga. They will all the trials and be tribulations of пever forgiven because God has given the useless life they are leading, you have to save them. You have to you so much. Supposing somebody gives salvage them. That's your job. That's you a diamond. You are proud. You put it on and show off. But when you have been what you have to pay for Sahaja Yoga. given your Spirit, you should be proud 25th December, 2001 January -February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 50 are in Sahaja Yoga. It should show. I am a woman Myself. Single-handed, I've done all this work. And why shouldn't you do it? Because it's a tremendous test to transform people all over the world. and not behave like recluse. Some people feel, "I shall not take any job now. I'll not go out. I'll sit at home and meditate." The word "can't" should go away from the dictionary of people who are supposed to be Sahaja yogis. But it's very easy for you. If I can do it, why can't you do it? 21st March, 1983 But put your complete attention to I'm working twenty-four hours. Not it, that "We are going to work out Sahaja a single minute I waste. And in the same way, I hope you will dedicate your Yoga, not for ourselves, but for the twenty-four hours for your emancipation and the emancipation of the whole betterment of humanity." We need it. We need it very much. Your compassion, your love, is all being wasted if you just think universe. about yourself, your family. What's the use? People do that even before 4th May, 1985 In this world, everybody has to do Realisation. So what is the use of something. But then what about Sahaja completely getting attached to your family, Yogis? It's such a rare thing to happen attached to all other things? You should that you have got your Realisation. So get attached to the whole world. You where should we waste out attention? belong to the whole world now... Why should we neglect our meditation? Why? We have to grow. We are a different people. We are a different race altogether in this world. We are realised souls. Now, as I said, the drop has become the ocean. Identity yourself with the ocean. The ocean is the lowest, if you have seen, the lowest so much that the zero There were hardly any number during the point starts from the ocean. The ocean is time of Christ, practically I mean. And even before that I was surprised that in China and other places, in one age there used to be one guru, one master. While you are so many masters, but your don't so humble. It's at the lowest point it lives, but all the rivers flow into it. And the ocean does the work of throwing clouds in the sky. And these then burst and become rain falling into the same ocean. want to use your powers as a master. They come back to the same ocean. Why not the women use it also? I So those who are humble will find women are more lethargic than men attract more Sahaja Yogis. Those who are The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January-February 2003 51 relate to others? How do I talk to others, who are Sahaja Yogis....? kind will attract many more Sahaja Yogis. 31st December, 2000 So now there is no time for lethargy. Now you have to rise and awake.

Guru also no problems of any kind. That's the doesn't mean that you go on preaching If Sahaja Yoga is just with you, about Sahaja Yoga, talking about Sahaja Yoga, giving lectures about Sahaja yoga-no. It means the one sign of greatness of Sahaja Yoga and I want you all to become like that. As today's day is great because we are thinking of all the great saints who gives Realisations to others. How many people you give who came on to this Earth and who tried to lead us. What they did, all of Realisation is the thing not to be them, tried to spread the truth all over counted, but to be felt within like the world. They suffered a lot, they ripples, waves of the ocean of love in your heart. So beautiful it is to see had problems, so many problems, but they worked very hard in every way that people get Realisation and are to spread Sahaja Yoga and talk about immersed in the joy of spirituality. God and divinity. That's what I want-you to do. That's why I'm on this Earth. All that is that today you have to give Me, a promise that whenever you get any other human being, you can tell I had to suffer also quite a lot. It doesn't matter, so called suffering.

It's not the fate of reality So try to understand that it is not I don't know how far we can it has happened, but it's an eye-opener propagate this, but it's a fact that for all of us to see that the truth is Mohammed-Saheb himself was always challenged by untruth and we finished.

Those people who killed him, May God Bless You. 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-19.txt Guru Purnima July 24, 2002 News from Cabella It started as a part of a French seminar in the hangar at Cabella. Our brothers and sisters from France wanted to do puja and then go to the Castle and offer a music programme to the Adi Shakti. When Mother received this request she said that they had chosen the day of Guru Purnima and if there were to be a puja, it would be better if She were present! At about 5 p.m. this news came from the Castle, and it spread like wildfire. Telephone calls and SMS messages flew around Italy. Yogis leapt into cars and set off. The people who were in the hangar still, after Guru Puja, just three days before, couldn't believe their luck! The French yogis calmly prepared for the puja. At eight p.m. there were nearly three hundred people in the hangar, including Daglio Camp, and then Shri Mataji arrived. It was so incredible for many of us who had never been so close to Mother before during puja. She spoke about this being the real day of the Guru (It was a full moon) but that for the convenience of the yogis we had performed puja at the weekend. Also she spoke about fanaticism in religion and how we had to spread Vishwa Nirmala Dharma. She mentioned the death of Kabira and the miracle of the two kinds of flowers, then She said there is no place for cruelty amongst us. She blessed us saying that She was giving those present a boon of being able to spread Sahaja Yoga. Shri Mataji spoke of several other subjects. Luckily a yogi had the foresight to bring a video camera, and then She invited the children onto the stage to wash her feet. At this point every child in the hangar converged on the stage, there seemed to be even more than during Guru Puja! As there was no age limit specified there were some rather grown up children on the stage 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-20.txt 17 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 2003 and it was beautiful to see the joy on the faces of teenagers who probably had thought they would never have had such an opportunity again. After this some presents were given, alongwith flowers from various collectives, and then the French Yogis asked permission to start their concert. Already there was such a lovely family atmosphere in the hangar, and incredibly strong vibrations, but when the yuva shakti started singing we felt like we were being lifted into another dimension! This was followed by two beautiful kawalis that had everyone dancing. The singing was of an extraordinarily high quality and was followed by flute music and a violin raga, both of which were absolutely wonderful. At midnight Shri Mataji left us after nearly four truly unforgettable hours. The French finished a perfect evening by making a delicious meal for all their brothers and sisters. Many, many heartfelt thanks to them, and thank you, Shri Mataji, for so graciously consenting to this magical occasion. With Love From Italy 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-21.txt GURU PURNIMA TALK Cabella Ligure, 24/07/2002 The Purnima is the day when the moon is full. I knew this, but for Sahaja Yogis we have to arrange Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Whenever either it is on the date or not, we have to arrange it in that case. This time, it was, I think, two days before. So it doesn't matter, after all, moon is there for us and we are for moon, so it can't be something that would have very wrong in it. I have already told you such a lot about the Guru Principle. And the Guru Principle, we have seen people who came on this Earth, they were all mostly born realised, actually, and they never gave Realisation to anyone. It is a very big difference. They were all born as realised souls and they became Sufis. And they are called by different names, but they were not given Self 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-22.txt January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 19 Realisation. They had it and because of their Self Realisation, as they had, they have so much of knowledge and that is what they try to impart to people. They knew all about chakras. Everything they knew. Somehow, must be in their past life achievements that they knew it. Perhaps some of them were disciples of other very great people. I don't know how they had full ideas about what Self Realisation is and what do we achieve after Self Realisation. Now the only person, I think, Mohammed-Saheb is the one who has talked about miraj - it is the ascent through our kundalini. Of course, in India they did talk about it, but in any other country they didn't say it so clearly that there is something called miraj. And not only that, He talked of miraj, but also he talked of the resurrection when your hands will speak. Two things He said-first that your hands will speak when you will have your Realisation. It's a very great thing to say because that is how you can ascertain and you can be sure that you got your Realisation. That's the sign He gave. And the second thing He talked about miraj and the white horse He said was nothing but the kundalini. He didn't use the word kundalini, but He said it's a white horse. So He is the one who knew what should happen to the people when they got their Self Realisation. That's the great revelation to all of you and of such a help to Sahaja Yoga. You are all realised souls because you can feel the vibrations, one thing, and, secondly, how you have become, He explained it very clearly. We have so many saints in India, so many of them, one better than the other, and whatever they talked, whatever they said, is so remarkable, is so remarkable. But actually, human beings, I think, are very dumb, that they never realised that we have so many saints here. Even in Turkey, we had Sufis, where it's a Sunni religion, there too. We had so many Sufis all over the world. We had realised souls. They were not incarnations, but they were born realised souls. So you see, their explanation and everything is very good because they were human beings and whatever they said was very much good for human 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-23.txt 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 20 January - February beings to understand. Because an incarnation said something, it is something from the beyond and this new, I should say, advance of the people, who were really human beings and had become realised souls and how they have talked about the various things, is very remarkable. Firstly most of them were poets and this-we had Kabir in India. We don't know how he was born, where he was from, who were his parents. It's absolutely not known, despite that you can only make out from their poetry that he was the great, great Sahaja Yogi and how he has described things- very interesting! He brought forth so many fundamental truths in his poetry and he talked about it. He didn't belong to any religion, as such. When he died there was a fight between Hindus and Muslims, "What should we do with his body?" And they say when they had lifted the sheet, which was covering his body, they found flowers, two types of flowers, one for Hindus and one for Muslims. So that's how he has solved the problems of this stupid fight people were having. In Sahaja Yoga we are not belonging to any such stupid religion. We belong to one religion, that is Vishwa Nirmala Dharma and all the stupidity of all these religions we should really throw away because what you just see now today everywhere, every religious group is fighting each other, beating each other, finishing each other. It is not the way a religious person should be like, but they are killing each other! I mean, all kinds of horrible things they are doing, unbelievable how they can do that-such cruelty? And first thing for a yogi or for a saint is that cruelty is absolutely not there. They will sacrifice their lives. They will do anything, but they will not be cruel to any other person. Now, those who, in the name of God and in the religion, are cruel are actually not at all, by any chance, religious people. So this is what the perversion of religion is. We all should understand, if we belong to Sahaja Yoga then for us kindness, sweetness, compassion and love are the main qualities that we should have and if you don't have that, then you are not a Sahaja Yogi. So we are a different clan, I should say, different personalities, who have vibrations. But as I said that now you must spread it because I have 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-24.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January-February 2003 21 come on this Earth just for people to get their emancipation, get their Realisation and unless and until all the people who believe in their emancipation get it, I won't be happy. There are many people who do believe, but not yet got their Realisation, so you have to work and you will be amazed, you will find people who are very anxious to get their Realisation. It will work out on this Guru Purnima day. It is a very auspicious day. I bless you with a special power that you can give Realisation to others. Don't get involved in your own problems. That's not important. That will all be solved. Mostly, what I get letters about is their own personal problems or some sort of other problems. What you should do is to see what is your problem within you, what is happening within you, why we are having a problem within, what is our duty, why we have got our Self Realisation, why we have got this wealth of spirituality and what should we do with it. I tell you, really think about it every day, even for half an hour and you will realise that you are very well equipped people. Saints have done so much. They have written so many things, they have fought the people. They did everything. You don't have to do anything like that, but one thing is that you must spread Sahaja Yoga. Even now Sahaja Yoga is not so much accepted everywhere. People don't know about it. It's surprising, while all kinds of horrible gurus are very well known. So we have to do it by our behaviour, by our understanding, by our whole life. People should say that these are something rare people and different people. I am happy, today is another day of Guru Purnima, which is a very auspicious day and to be regarded as a very big blessing for you because this gives you-I mean, this is a certificate, that you all are capable of being gurus. You have to become that. Becoming is important in Sahaja Yoga. Becoming is important. All other things are really of no use. You have to become. Specially ladies are shy. I think. They can do a lot and they should work it out. They are shy for nothing at all. What is the need to be shy? They 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-25.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January -February 2003 22 are very shy, ladies, and they just don't get into the whole working of Sahaja Yoga. You should. If the ladies start talking about it, I think it will work much faster. I bless you all to do this work, which was left half done by the saints. It's your duty to complete it. May God Bless You. 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-26.txt Mountain I see a mountain from my window Standing like an ancient sage Desireless, full of love.

Mataji Skri Nirmala Devi 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-27.txt SHRI KRISHNA PUJA 18, August, 2002, Canajoharie USA Today we are going to worship Shri Krishna as a very great personality and you know why He came on this Earth, to establish this, is the new form of-not Virata, not Virata, but a form by which this country became so prosperous and, by His Advent only, He created a beautiful mentality among the people, how to develop this country with dharma. And you had very great leaders, who followed Him and who worshipped Him in a way and created a new world of this America, But, unfortunately, as the time passed on, His form vanished from the minds of the people. The reason was Krishna was represented here by very, very wrong type of people, who had no idea about Shri Krishna, that He was a great master of wealth, that he knew how to use the wealth and how to create the wealth with dharma, not with adharma. They all forgot about it completely, and gradually started using manoeuvring powers, all kinds of-all kinds of adharmic things- cheating, grabbing money, spending their money in absolutely useless things. He's Kubera. He doesn't need any money, of course. He achieves money and not only that – He lived in money. They said that He created a golden house for Him, absolutely made with gold in Dwarika, but it's submerged in the water, in the sea and nobody believed that it is true. But now they have found out this under the waters, in very deep waters. So all their conjecture about Him was wrong, all false, that He was definitely a man who made lots of money by dharma. Also was a son of a king and He built this Dwarika out of gold. It is still there and people have fo it, but under the sea. Thousands of years have passed, but still exists. Only nd because perhaps it belongs to Shri Krishna, it is still existing. That's what it 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-28.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 2003 25 Sahaja Yogi has his own spirit to enjoy. More than anything else, he doesn't want to possess anything. It's a headache to possess things also. is, because He was the one who was for satya, for truth. He was for truth and He worked out everything on the principle of truth. Whatever was not truth, He tried to finish it off. Whatever was destructive, He tried to remove that and He established Himself through truth only. He's the one who represents the truth, absolute truth and how the truth can prevail in everything. I'm just the opposite of Him because I don't understand money at all, but He's looking after that part in My life. I'm so hopelessly bad. I don't understand banking. I don't understand money. I can't even count money. Now what can you say to that? But He's there to look after me and I never have a dearth of money, never a dearth of any wealth. It's all full of it. Also it comes through your sense of satisfaction. If you have that sense of satisfaction, you don't look for money. What happened in your country that some people got money. If you got little money, then you get the taste of money. They're not satisfied people, so, like mad, they went on spending on nonsensical things. It is something very much human. After human evolution, after you have reached a certain state of enlightenment, then all these demeaning things like greed all disappear from your character. You don't have that greed in you any more and you become extremely a satisfied person. To you, money is there, all right, but it's not so important. It is just that 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-29.txt 26 January-February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 you think you don't need it and you get it-all done by Shri Krishna all over. Can you imagine? He's doing all this looking after you and helping you with money. It started .. Sahaja Yoga without a single penny. I never had any problem. So one thing, as Kubera, He's the supplier of wealth. He looks after people who don't have money. He gives money to people who stand by truth, who enjoy the life of truth. It is His work that people enjoy wealth, otherwise they don't. They have this much. They want to have more. That means they don't enjoy the wealth. They have a little, they want to get much more. Why? Because they are not enjoying whatever they have. But after Self Realisation, you will see that you enjoy whatever you have. You enjoy it full, absolutely and you do not hanker after something that is not there. Doesn't matter if you don't have. Many a times, people have asked Me, 'Mother, why not we have the puja of Krishna as Kubera?" I said, 'All right.' Just now, everybody's trying to become Kubera., Let them learn a lesson. And then we'll have the puja of Kubera and that's why today, I've agreed to have this puja. Because now you have seen what happens if you have greed. You go on committing all kinds of sins, all kinds of wrong things, which can destroy your country. Such a rich country has now become a poor country. Where is that money gone? They're very clever. Somebody told Me today, it's money is with the insurance. "My God," I said, 'the law is such that you can't get out that money.' Secondly they said that it is in offshore and all that. I said, 'But see now, they were never afraid that they would be caught and they continued for so many years, but I'm sure one day they'll be all exposed by Kubera Himself. So, today, by worshipping Kubera, what we are doing we are going to establish the truth of money. What lies behind the money? What is the point of having money? This country had money. As a result, so many good people came here to work and you had so many complementary things. You had lots of people who complemented because, I think, in certain things Americans were a little less -not in intelligence, but in brilliance, I think they were a 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-30.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 27 January Febuary 2003 little bit lacking, so they got very brilliant people from abroad. And also they were very focused people, so they worked it out very well. Also they respected people who came with brains. So this is what happens when you forget that truth is the main point. If you don't have the truth, no use having money, because what you did was to go around with this thing, that thing, I mean all kinds of things to just get money. The other day I was travelling through Las Vegas, last week and when we stopped at that airport, so many people walked into the aeroplane and they all were looking like somebody's dead in their family, What has happened?" First I couldn't understand. Then they said, Mother, they have lost all their money." So when they have money, they are jumping. Next moment they are crying because they have lost the money. What's the use of such a money, which is so temporary, which is so useless, But that is human nature to run after maya and this is the quality of money that he gives you maya-maya like this, that they get a little money somehow. With that little money, they buy something, then they think money is very important. You can buy lots of things. You can buy cars. You can buy aeroplanes, this, that. So this is where maya plays on you and you start running after that mad money, which makes you mad. It's nice that at this juncture they have discovered the falsehood of this maya money and I am so happy that they were all handcuffed and all their power of money was finished. So this Kubera is working out all these tricks. Krishna is a very tricky, extremely tricky personality. He puts the tricks, every action after every action. Now money matters, He first befools you, that you run after it and then you just discover that it was stupidity. We have a story in our country called Sheikhchilly. He got little money and he got into the grab of this maya. So he thought I can do very well, so he started dreamning as to what he could do. So he went and bought lots of eggs and he said, 'Now these eggs will have little little chicks, which will grow, which I'll sell and I'll have so much money. It was like that he was talking. 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-31.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 28 2003 And while thinking about it in his mind, went off to sleep and then in his sleep he fell on the eggs and all the eggs broke. So the maya was over. This should happen early, but if it doesn't happen, then you end up in the jail or something like that. Sahaja Yoga is one thing which gives you a complete vision, complete vision of the destruction that can follow this maya business. It is something such an insight that you don't have to do anything with it. I am different. I told you I don't understand it at all, but even if you understand the value of money, even if you understand that money can bring lots of things to you, despite that, you don't look at it, just turn your face. That is the sign of a real Sahaja Yogi. To him it doesn't matter, temperamentally. It's not that he does something for that or tells 'that's mine.' Temperamentally, he doesn't care for money just because he is above it. The one who is above money is a real Sahaja Yogi. The one who is engulfed in the nonsense and the maya of money is not a Sahaja Yogi. Of course, I have seen most of the Sahaja Yogis are extremely have honest, especially in the West. But in India there's a disease. As you here some viruses, we have certain viruses in India also, so they still go on running after money. To them money's important. But in the evolutionary process, if you reach a certain stage where you rise above your Nabhi Chakra, then money's not so important. It's not so important. To Me, I find I cannot buy things unnecessarily. Of course, I mean, there were so many unnecessary things they are giving me, give presents this, that. But Myself, you will be amazed, I'm so nervous or, I should say, hesitant or whatever you want to call it, absolutely absent from the spot where they are doing any business, any purchasing. All this is you have to fix it. That is the point. In the same way, Sahaja Yogis have to fix their mind to their spirit and enjoy the powers in your spirit, your own. That enjoyment, once you get it, you don't fall to your greed. This is something very, very simple, but sometimes you don't do it. You get 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-32.txt Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 29 January February 2003 enamoured by something, maybe a car, maybe aeroplanes. I don't know what whatever it is. It's a headache to have too many cars, isn't it. But people have. They think, by that, people are impressed and they think no end of themselves or not. Nothing. If they are impressed, what is the use to us? What do you get out of it? Sahaja Yogi has his own spirit to enjoy. More than anything else, he doesn't want to possess anything. It's headache to possess things also. The other side of it is a Mahalakshmi. If that principle is within you, Mahalakshmi principle, you'll never have a problem of money. On the contrary, you will know how to stop it. So far, as I am concerned, I get fed up of My Mahalakshmi principle because I don't know from where it works out, how it works out, without any effort! But temperamentally, I have no interest at all- temperamentally. But it is there-I don't know what is the cause of this effect. Now supposing I buy some small thing, just like that, it will sell atleast ten times more. It will be of value at least ten times more, I don't know how! It's very surprising. Automatically, I'll buy something very small and I find it's very expensive. How it works, that must be miracles of Mahalakshmi, I think. So what I have to tell you is this- that you should not worry about your financial situations at all. Do not go on calculating. Do not see how much money you have in the bank, what you have to do with your money, where you should invest. I have seen people going mad, planning the whole thing. There's no need to do that once you are a Sahaja Yogi. It all works automatically. The greed is within you, just like any other disease. As you have diseases, greed is also there. As your diseases can get cured with Sahaja Yoga, your diseases - as much as your greed is -it vanishes. Don't know what a greed is. The only way to counter-balance is to become extremely generous. If you are extremely generous, greed will run away. That may be another way of doing it. Supposing you get something in your house and you think it is to much, how to get rid of it, but just to think it's too much, you should give it to 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-33.txt 30 January- February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 someone. You just start thinking whom can you and immediately you'll remember, 'Oh, that person doesn't have this. Let me give him this.' And if you give him, he will be so thankful, so thankful and he'll say all kinds of nice things to you, which normally nobody would say to you, nobody. And it's surprising how joy-giving it is, how people like your generosity. So you have to be generous, just generous, not with yourself, but with others. As much as possible, be generous. Generosity is very love-giving, one of the expressions of your love. Many a times it has happened with Me that I saw somebody needed something and kept it in My mind and I bought that thing and gave it to that person and the amount of love that person gave Me was thousand times more than what I would have got joy out of buying it, buying that thing. It was so insipid for Me, but for him it was not. He told so many people, 'Mother gave me this. Mother gave me.' I was surprised. Then they asked me, 'Mother, how did you give him?" I said, 'Just out of love.' Many people took to Sahaja Yoga, thinking what a generosity is, so to be generous is the best way to live in this world. After all, it's a headache to have too many things. Better to get rid of them, but out of love. If you do that, you'll know how much they will be appreciative of you. Another thing is to get rid of greed, you should try to do some sort of a collective social work. Supposing you go to a place where lots of poor people are there, I tell you, your greed will just drop. Be amazed how these people are living, in what conditions! Why do I care for all this, wealth and everything? That will be just shocking. Sometimes, you see, you see people, in India also, in a very bad condition. Once I went to Calcutta and by chance, I happened to be in places where people were living in a very great poverty, even the children, and you'll be amazed, for days together I wouldn't eat My food. I was crying and not eating My food. I just didn't know what to do because I felt, 'What is this? Why these people are so?' And I was so helpless, so I was crying, that one day I should try to do something for them. It is really remarkable at a very young age of Mine, I started a leper home, I started an infirmary, refugee home, all kinds of things and I never even thought that whatever money I have, if I give to these people, I may have 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-34.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January - February 2003 31 to give up somethings. I also sold some of My things because it is so pleasure- giving, I tell you, so pleasure-giving, so joy-giving to be generous. It is so paying in every way that you should be generous. That is the quality of Kubera. He's an extremely generous personality and that's what personality you should be. I've seen that Sahaja Yogis are very generous. So far, nobody has told me that somebody is a miserly fellow- so far, so far. But I am sure one day will come when we'll have people of very high quality. In Sahaja Yoga, we don't say, like other cults say, that you give up your clothes, you give up your family, you stay in a forest or in a hut or anything nothing of the kind. Don't give up anything. You have to give up from your heart. Just it should happen in your personality. Don't have to give up. And if you have that well built in spirituality, you'll not even think of grabbing someone. On the contrary, you will like to give up everything. My father was even worse than Me, I should say. He always used to leave the house open, all doors open. He said no thief will come if you keep the doors open. So one day a thief came and he took away his gramophone. In the old times, like these big horn ones, he took away. The next day My father was sitting very sad. So My mother asked, 'Why are you sad? Because of the gramophone?" 'No, I'm only sad because it seems a connoisseur of music has taken the gramophone, but no records.' So My mother said, 'All right, what should we do? Should we advertise in the newspaper that you take away the records?" I mean such a beauty that even after so many years, I am telling you and you are enjoying. What a beautiful character it was of generosity, but if you force it through religion, through any such ideas that you give up that - you don't have to give up. You give up from within. If you are not attached to it, you have given up. That should be there and if you all enjoy your generosity and charity - nothing like it. I have known people who are very rich and all that, but they lack generosity. That is another quality of Kubera. Apart from that, he perhaps understands banking, perhaps. That time, there were no banks, but I think must be because the way he manages banks, 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-35.txt 32 January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 you know, it seems to Me that he's sitting on top of them and that's why still in the banks there is no problem. I don't know, but he is a very clever person, very intelligent, very alert, which is important if you have to deal with money. Though He was absolutely detached from money, and just see His life, what He did. He lived a childhood with His guru and He used to take, what do you call, the cows and herds outside in the jungles. That is how He lived in His childhood and later on He was playing with the boys who were looking after the cows in a very, I mean, ordinary family. He never hankered after money. He used to steal ... He used to steal the butter because these ladies used to sell that (butter) to Kansa's military people. So He used to eat that, so that these ladies should not give it to them. Just imagine such a little boy like Him. So actually how He was teaching them a lesson, those ladies were greedy, wanted to give that to these horrible soldiers and He would eat all that butter Himself. In everything that He did, what you see is extreme generosity, extreme generosity. With all His intelligence, He was so good and He killed His own uncle, I should say. For Him, it was not important.... so-called relations were not important. What you see in our India especially, that relations are very important. The father is a thief. His son is thief, his grandson is a thief, all of them are thieves. Can you imagine? I haven't seen in a family, if there's one person who is a thief, any one (of ) his progeny are honest. It's a very funny thing, but such greed crawls into their minds, that they don't think it is important. They just think that stealing is the only way one can live, though in India there are people who are extremely honest. I've seen our servants. They never steal nothing, never. I don't know, they have no reasoning for it. It's a matter of fact. They never steal anything very surprising. Why? Why don't they steal? They're happy with their lives. They don't want to change it. They don't want to have this horrible thing that can put them in jail. But they don't know. They don't even think about it. They just don't do it. Why? Because they have a sense of shame. In the poorer people, sense of shame is very, very developed. In that society, they have a great respect for people who are honest and they're all honest. 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-36.txt 33 January-February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 &2 One of them may be not, but they have no respect for such a person because they think self-respect is the biggest thing. Can you imagine these poor people? They have food once a day, but to them their self respect is above everything. So the third solution for this kind of a nonsensical greed is your self-respect. Why should you steal? Why should you have anything that is stolen or why should you have anything that belongs to another person? If you have that self-respect within you, you won't touch anything that is not yours. When the servants can do that, why not people who are not that badly off. It is the temperament of a higher level, I think, which they develop, where their self-respect is much more important than all kinds of other things that may satisfy their greed. One thing about greed is (that) it is never satisfied. It is never satisfied. I've seen people who were very rich once upon a time became very, very poor. So, to them, life has become hell. They can't live without their greed, I should say, pomp and show. But they don't understand that it was false. They just go on feeling extremely downtrodden when they lose their money. Then there are people who want to have money. They'll do anything to get money. It's a very funny thing, but also power is the same as that. If you have your own powers, you don't hanker after these powers. But they want to have power because they want to have money and they get power with money. Can you imagine? Where are human beings? At what level? At what level of evolution they are? They are going round and round the circle of this money. This is Nabhi Chakra, which has to improve, which gives you satisfaction. If your Nabhi Chakra is satisfied, you have achieved the state of Kubera. That's very important to see that your Nabhi should be satisfied. There're so many other kinds of things we have, but now I think the worst is this greed and this, if it is managed somehow or other, brought to its own level, then I think world will be improved very much. May God Bless You. 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-37.txt WHAT IS A SAHAJA YOGI Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi 17-05-1980 It is when you think of becoming then the preparation is done to become something and on the whole when you know that it is your ego and super ego which are loading you up, you have to scan them out with vibratory awareness. Now there are two types of attention. First is the constant attention that is the routine of a Sahaja Yogi and the second one is the emergency attention. I have been seeing that all the Sahaja Yogis must start writing their diaries- one with everyday's experiences. If you know that you have to write a diary, 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-38.txt January - February 2003 35 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 you will keep your mind alert, and I? Then any special path or any another one wherever you get any special movement in the centre or left special idea of the past or of the future or right also should be mentioned, so also to jot it down. So like that you that you keep a watch on your should have two diaries. For your It's a very good thing to maintain a mind. constant attention you have to fix up diary. your mind on certain facts. The first keep one, as I said, is that if you keep a progressively how your ideas are diary then you will know that you changed? How new priorities are Also will you have to remember what important settling down? How you give more things have happened. So, your importance to real things and very attention will be alert and you will little to unreal things. I think this is a be looking out for such points where very-very practical side of human what is the thing you see. And you will beings that one should have a diary be amazed if you make your attention Same diaries after some time will alert, what new things come to you. become historical things and people Very brilliant ideas and the miracles would like to see what you all have of life and the miracles of god's written, not to be hypocritical about beauty and his auspiciousness, his it or deceptive about it but quite greatness, his kindness, his blessings. truthful and understanding you should How to work out if you start writing jot down few lines just before everyday even two lines about it sleeping. which will make your mind constantly Now, we have to see that we have problems for super ego and ego. involved within. That's a human style of doing things. Now, superego is the left side, is Also you can mention in the darkness, tamoguna and our past. diary, what happened with you?

Put your mind something prepare a little note like that. Did I get up in the morning? Did into working for the future planning. What to do, Where to go, How to do? 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-39.txt January - February 36 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 That will keep you away from the drag will you get up? Even puja is a good of the left side and gradually then you idea, home is a good idea. Do can balance yourself also. Now, the something like that so that you have right side of a person when it is to do something what you call the Kriya, is the action, get into the action. Some sort of an action you go into in Sahaja Yoga as well as in your activated very much, he has to balance it not with the left side but with the centre, that is, a person who is very hard-working must develop a witness daily life, you will be able to do change that mood and come to the right state. You try to do a work, any work, side and then your movement should be towards the satvaguna, is to watch everything. Now, at the satvaguna indulge into work in thoughtless awareness, as a witness. Whatever work you are doing, you just say that I am not doing it. This you can do it point, when you are in the centre, you become have to see, how much you are realisation, after thoughtlessly aware and start doing misidentified. Say, supposing you are your work. So, the compensation of at the first stage of left side then you the left side is done by movement to will just do day dreaming. Oh! this the right and of the right side person is so much identified, that one movement to the centre. Left side is is so much identified as if you are the the Tamogeuna', right side is the best. It is just the human nature, you see. Oh that person is like that, he is 'Rajoguna' and the centre is the like that, this is very bad in the society, 'Satvaguna'. But, still these are three that is going bad in the society. It's better, then we can also go to this limit gunas. That's not the state which you have to achieve. About this I will tell you tomorrow more, how to go further to that guru is very bad and that as is with it. After scanning out which side another madcap, like that you see all is weak, you should plan out your is going on. How far it is affecting you? How far you are improving by that? That is not. It is just getting, style of life. For example if you are extremely thinking, analysing. It is a lazy style, lethargic, you cannot get up in the morning, you feel very sleepy in the night, you do not feel alert, then start sitting down and just analysing, it's a lazy style! The second thing could be when planning as to what will you do? How 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-40.txt 37 January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1& 2 you come to the second side of it is you should take, to jump on to the Kriya. Then what happens when Satvaguna. On Satvaguna you start accepting it. You become extremely mild. You become a mild personality. At that time you do not discuss as to, you start doing it, then at least your attention is on what you are doing. It's not allowed to drift into something Oh I don't like it. This was wrong this and which goes into any nonsense and can, I mean, then you don't know from where the funny thoughts are coming. So, you start doing something, you should not have been. All these things do not come to you in Satvaguna. You start seeing it. That time you see. Alright doesn't matter, you understand On the contrary, you feel hurt, if you are a Satoguni that by any suggestion you have suggested your being? Can you get that point? You feel ashamed of your ego, I mean to say, if you are a Satoguni. For example even to say that this is my car, you will feel shy. That's a Satoguni or even to say why did you spoil my carpet. In India can go and plant some trees or you can go and plant some flowers or if you want you can do some cooking you can do some work. Take to work. That will help you, any work but while doing the work the problem will be, you'll develop ego. That's why when you are developing the ego you have to tell yourself you are not doing mister, this you are not doing. you are not doing. If you go on nobody will say. I can tell you, this is suggesting to your self then ego will regarded bad manners, absolute bad not come up and many things you see which normally trouble you and house and a carpet is spoiled, they trouble others – like you have will say let it be, does not matter. cleaned the room, alright. Then somebody comes and spoils this, you you burnt'? They will never say that get angry with that person. Naturally you have burnt my carpet, you have because you think you had done it. done anything to my, it is regarded bad First of all you don't clean the room. manners. Like here you see somebody If you clean the room then you be is sleeping and some body makes the prepared, it will be dirty, otherwise noise. The person, who is sleeping why should you clean? Now, if it is will never say that you are making dirty, well and good, if it is not dirty, noise and I had to get up. He will just well and good. This type of an attitude get up and ask 'do you need anything?" manners. If anybody comes to your Even if it is burnt, they will say, tare 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-41.txt 38 January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 even if you do something, any work you do or anything you are doing, you That's difficult for people here to understand because ego is just sitting on them. But is bad manners there, but are just doing it because you want to you will find when you will go to do it. That is how you come on to India. You will find these are bad Satoguna. But normally it doesn't happen. It happens the other way manners, to say that. How to say oh I feel very comfortable, I mean to say round. For example a person is, say, *I feel comfortable' is bad manners, I doing something by any chance he feels hurt or he thinks that whatever mean they never say. I like it, so what. he has done is no good, people don't All these words are not to be said. If you are a Satoguni, then you just don't appreciate or may be he might think say. You say, do you like it? Is it that, oh it's not upto the point or whatever it is. Then the reaction for comfortable? Would you like to have him is not that he does not try to rise it? The whole attention goes from your side. Do you understand that? That is the style one has to develop. Tamoguna. He says, all right I will not to Satoguna but he goes back to Then you are a Satoguni. Otherwise do it, I will sleep over it, let them do you are still on ego trip. You see it, why should I do it. So the training that you have to have through your whatever you may feel, I don't like that, I, who are you? First of all ask Rajoguna goes a waste. It's just the question who are you? If God training period that you are with I don't like, I can understand, Rajoguna. You are doing something. Now, in the training period you have says, but for you to say, I don't like it, after to learn only how to come in the all, how did you come on this earth? How did you get the human birth? centre? For example now water is How did you get all these things? required for you to shave. If there is Now, think like that. Who am I? I am no water you cannot shave, alright? In the same way Rajoguna is required nothing. for you, to come to Satoguna. If you Anybody who thinks I am do not do any work, you cannot come something, he should know that he is nothing, makes no difference to God to Satoguna. So you are just working just to train yourself to be a witness. weather he exists or does not exist. Now, do you follow that point? You So, this point if you understand that are not doing it because you like a 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-42.txt January February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 39 particular thing, you are used to a pleasure only you will get when you particular thing, because you want to be deep. This is not the way it is. You it's the training period. You are better are just doing it to learn how to be trained than the other one was, You patient, to practice your patience, to are at a higher class than the other one. see how much patient you are? Once So we have to be at a higher class. you start doing it you will be amazed For that this is just a training on and that you will never feel the burden of that's how we can really put our the work, but it never happens. Most preparation into practice into all of the people, if they find their work details to see how we work out our will do it with the understanding that is not effective they will go back to ego and superego. Today, in the Tamoguna. There are many attitudes. morning I have told you that your say, somebody is working. Then he intellect must imbibe this within thinks, why should I do all the work, itself, alright. And now I am telling others are not doing? He will go back you that your action. Action that you to their state. But those who are not do must be everytime branded by you working will not think that this person as just your training, any action you is working, let me also work. It's other do. Supposing you have to drive for way round, you see. This can be an miles together, you are trying your attitude of some people that if this patience. It is you who could do person is working, let him work. This is even a meaner style. Avoid just that, you go to a restaurant and somebody everything. Supposing you have to drop down from a helicopter or if they have takes out the purse, others start to drop from the parachute, you go on looking this side. It's very mean. doing it again and again, you practice it, you drop many a times. You break your legs, you break your hands, you do this, you do that, till you become a master. Do you understand my point? Driving same way. Till you become a master, you go on. In the same way Everybody should come forward and once you have paid you have paid its finished. Then you just don't start counting why did I pay? One should try. Any work has to be done, go forward with it. Do it with your heart. Don't worry if others are not doing you are doing this just to master your it. Just do it for its pleasure and the ego. Isn't it? 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-43.txt 40 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 January-February 2003 To know how these clouds are not alright, then Mataji must come up coming into us and that how we go and say, what do you mean by that? into our complete analysis. How these clouds are coming to us, you find Why should you say like that? What's wrong? about our different chakras. What are When you say that to yourself, the chakras we are catching? Here which is outside, then the attention comes the other constant attention starts moving towards your self which is Mataji and you start becoming that and you start feeling through your towards our chakras. Are our vibrations alright or not. Are we getting our vibrations? If not, what chakra am I catching, what must be the heart. So your Atma is to be satisfied by your Atma. There is nothing in between. It is you only in this dual cateh? I must raise my Kundalini, see for myself where is the catch. Do I do my meditation or not? If I do it, One is ingorance and the other is personality, has to satisfy yourself. am I doing it just dosingly or am I really in it? Am I really feeling it or knowledge. Now try to identify yourself with that Mataji call it or any not? Am I alert or not? All this is to be asiduously, sincerely, absolutely, xyz, whatever you call it, Atma. Just a drama, say. You just think that you are the Self-Spirit. So how will you address yourself? Let's see. Supposing you have to sit in my seat, truthfully worked out. Because, it is a process between yourself- Atamanyeva Atmanajayte. See it is so funny relationship that it is the Atman take it like that, and then you are is satisfied with Atma. You have sitting in front of me also, alright? So you are sitting here and sitting there. to be satisfied with yourself. There is nobody, Mataji is not concerned, Take a position like that, now you put nobody is concerned. It is you who is up yourself in the drama and you start concerned with yourself. For addressing yourself. "So Bala, how I example, you ask somebody. Says, I am like this Mother. Now think that are you?' And Bala says 'better!' If you are identified now with you are Mother – one personality. Another is say Mr. Don or Kingslay Mataji, gradually Bala will diminish, two alright? But if you are still identified You or someone. are personalities. So when you are telling with Bala, he will grow on this illusion. yourself in front of Mataji that I am 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-44.txt 41 January-February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 You have to try to address For example, if you have a Prime yourself as if you are Mataji. It's a Minister and a Deputy Prime Minister drama. You sit before the mirror. In and a Minister three persons, airight? Now, if the Prime Minister is your Self and the Minister has to the mirror you see this outside of yours and here you are sitting, whatever you are, Mr. Don, for example. become the Prime Minister. So, he has to first become Deputy Prime Minister. Now Mr. Don is addressing the other Don there. Let him take up a role that I am the spirit. He'll say, I am After becoming Deputy Prime Minister he has to become Prime Minister. First Deputy Prime Minister the spirit and I am eternal. I am this. Nobody can destroy me. I am above and then the Prime Minister. But everything. That thing will go down. Supposing this fellow starts to jump over this, this will come up and hit I am a realised soul. I know what him and say, I am the one. And this spirit is. What are you talking? It will go down. This is how you start one is Ego. moving. That is only possible when first you become a Satoguni. If you are You understand the point. So you cannot surpass it. You have to merge not a Satoguni, with ego-I am this, this into this and then this into this. and you become a guru and sStart The movement has to be like that but minting money. if you try to just become this, actually First the ego is to be brought you will become this, not this. Because you cannot become this. You down, if there is still ego then without becoming Atma you become an ego. understand my point. So, even when So, first this journey should be doing this if you try sitting before brought in to the centre of Satoguna. mirror and telling yourself that you are That is why I say that when you are the spirit, who are the part of Virata, talking or doing anything, you must that you are the ocean because your know that it is your spirit which is drop has fallen into the ocean, then doing it. That's how you put your you must know that your drop has spirit in charge or say at the pedestal- fallen into the ocean. That's how first stage. Then when the spirit is you've become an ocean. If that stage there then from this stage to that stage, is missing then your saying that you are an ocean is absolutely bombastic. then you say that now I am the spirit. 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-45.txt January - February 2003 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 42 And that's why one has to be very This perhaps I'll never catch also, to be very frank. But if I want to. know where I am catching I can find out but I don't want to. So, what I say, steady and careful absolutely steady as far as dealing with oneself. Because you know how this intelligence can cheat you. So, be very-very careful and when you are dealing with you, you must know you have to first overcome this ego. The alright I'll tell you where is the catch. At that time one's attitude could be that I must tell otherwise Mataji won't know, you see very funny! The second thing to overcome ego is to change one could be that I know where She your language, style, is to speaking the is catching and I must tell and Mataji also knows but she wants to test me. third person. [It] is a very good way. Like you must say, when you are should be careful. At this point people talking about yourself, this Mataji make mistakes. won't listen to me. This Mataji won't If I ask them where is it catching. do this. You see, so what happens. This Mataji will tell you part of it. I am catching on left heart but very Once you start separating this Mataji mild finished then, you get less away from yourself then that ego marks, you get less marks. You can get Mataji disappears. You understand? whatever it is because at least you're Like you can say, this Bala is like that. honest. Whatever it is. Supposing the fellow is not catching heart but you He won't listen. So whatever real Bala is left within you is alright. are feeling the heart, you will say heart. That's being honest. Then I will That's how you get rid of your ego and by understanding your centre, what tell you, who is catching the heart. But if you are. perhaps, yes Mataji, No Mataji then you get less marks, not very good art. I am not alright, I don't know. that's not a good art. You have you are catching, where you are catching, how you are catching, it would be really easy, for you to get rid of your ego. Now, see what Sahaja to tell who is catching. Then you pay more attention that you have to pass Yogis do. Supposing there are five Sahaja Yogis sitting. I mean you know that I know about everyone, through the test. This is just testing. Why? Because tomorrow you have to everything. I don't have to ask, what give realisation, you have to become is fact? Now, why do I ask? I show the gurus, you have to know all these complete ignorance. 2003_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-46.txt January-February 2003 43 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XV Issue 1 & 2 things.
