Every year on the same date the Sun comes to this particular them, get enraged and all the faith is angle. Why do we recognize this shaken. Agya is very significant area which happening so much? What is so special we must know about. It is the place of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ told us to forgive about it? Why do we feel so much of joy when the Sun comes at this angle? everyone. Forgiveness is very essential. But how to forgive? Many people say that we wish to forgive but we are unable to. To Because most of our things are performed because of the Sun. At night we are in the state of sleep, all our works begin when forgive one has to be forgiving (eT there is dawn. So the sun is the power that One has to think that everyone will have to face his deeds. What have we to do with affects all our deeds and when it comes in our orbit, we begin to recognize it. it? What one says will recoil back on him, Most of the festivals are based on the why have we to get involved? With such detachment if you forgive everyone then the situation of the Moon, but this is the only Agya Chakra will be alright. Obstruction in festival which goes according to the state the Agya Chakra stops the kundalini to of the Sun. So this is how 'Surya Narayana' ascend and to remove this obstruction we (The Sun God) has much importance in our country. People go to take dip in Ganga should know how to forgive. Every moment we keep on thinking as to who has tortured River and perform different types of us and how. Instead we should think that worships. However this day is very we have to forgive. The moment we forgive, significant. We have to decide as to what is to be done on this day? What work is to you will be surprised, the kundalini ascends be performed? We bow before the Sun, immediately. Our purpose is to raise our kundalini, why should we be angry? Getting offer offerings and express our gratitude to it. But what special work we could do, angry is human nature, not Divine, it is human nature. So we should control our particularly the Sahaj Yogis? The Sun has its place at the Agya anger and repeat thrice instead, 'forgiven, Chakra. You all know it, and think of the forgiven, forgiven' (THT, &HT, &THT) and the future with your Agya Chakra. So it is very obstruction of our Agya Chakra gets essential to set the Agya Chakra right removed. Eternal Blessings to all of you. because it affects the Sun. The impact of ADISHAKTI PUJA Cabella - 6 June, 2004 (Internet Version) Today we have to talk about this Power with problems, but none of these problems which is hidden in your heart by which you are there. I don't see any problem can do whatever you like to create a new anywhere. Those who think they have world, a new family, new standards, problems, I have asked them to write them everything that is not known so far. That is down and I will try to answer them and tell quite possible and it's being done, but what them what sort of a problem it is. But before is quite difficult is how to make people more adaptable, more in tune with each other. It still our Sahaja Yogis have not come to that seems to be a difficult thing. They are level to understand the Oneness, the alright among themselves, if they have their uniqueness in their hearts. All this comes own friends, their own style. But to make from within, not from without, so all efforts them absolutely one, one with each other, made outside is of no use. in one tune, in one life is very difficult. Now the problem is, we have beautiful what we are. It's all there. Just you have to people, beautiful souls, but they do not be that, to become that. This is rather become so one with each other as they difficult to understand for people who have should have. Now, how to solve this different noses, different faces, different problem?.... if you see the original idea everything, to become the same. But you why we started this new kind of are, you are. Because you don't know that understanding, new kind of penetration, you are, that's why you are looking different. because we wanted to find the Oneness. So, I have to tell you one thing: that you in every person. Now you should be very are all One.. One in the sense that your thankful that you are all One, One inside, everything, impulse, every feeling, every there's nothing second. It's only One and understanding is the same. that One when it speaks and when it wants to administer something, then you will be that there is different, but actually it is not. amazed that it is all done the same way, It is only One, one relationship, and this it's the same thing and it works out the relationship is with the Adi Shakti, that you same way. There is no change; there is are a part and parcel of Adi Shakti. could do anything, I would like to say that We have to be effortless and become it gives you the very wrong impression no difference between the two. Whatever one may try, one cannot get Despite that our minds are roving, separated from Adi Shakti. You are born roving into the same sort of problem which out of Her and you are guided by Her. has no significance in Sahaja Yoga. Now Everything seems to be one to Me while the main problem that we have is that we don't realize that we have no problem. We action, which is wrong. you people think there is a different line of Whatever I may say is to be proved, are without any problems. We think that there are problems and we should deal otherwise why should you accept.. Myself July August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze are becoming Sahaja Yogis, but they are not. They are not Sahaja Yogis but they are trying to become. On the contrary, they should know that they are Sahaja Yogis and they don't have to become anything. Then there is no problem. We have to know that we are One, all the same. There's no need I am one with you and I will always remain the same with all of you; for me there is no difference. If that temperament changes a little bit you will see the oneness among all and the difference will be lost in no time. It's very surprising how you understand each other. Unless and until you have proper understanding of each other you to have any ignorance of any kind. And cannot achieve anything. That is essential, when this happens, the problems of the that is right, that is the truth. The truth started a long time back, much before difficulty. anybody could think of having the truth. It all went out with so many things which whole world will be solved without any Today's Puja is a special one because you are doing the Puja of something that never went into any transformations, which was not changed at all, remained the same, were not truthful and then the truth went away. born with the same and is still with the The Truth is not so easily accepted as the untruth is. Why? Because we are standing in untruth. Our all understanding is untruth and we have to change our understanding to truth, which is not difficult get lost in the atmosphere or the other same. In such a Puja what anyone has to say? Nothing. Just be one with yourself. we have to be one with ourselves and not to movements of the brain. Because this is because we are truth. We are the Truth. To become the Truth which we are, why the time when the brain starts moving and should it be difficult? Should not, but it happens. So that means there is over himself. Like a snake, unless and until something wrong somewhere with us it is in his own place, there is no danger, which we should find out. And the thing that but as soon as it starts moving, there's a is wrong is that we cannot face ourselves. danger. In the same way, we have to know We face others, not ourselves. We never ihat our mind is very, very difficult and see ourselves. We have no idea as to what should not go into the wrong directions. our own situation is. And for that, you needed a Mother to show you. That's how Mother's Puja because we should try to be the Mother came on this earth to tell you on the line of Primordial Mother. We have what's the problem with you within. This principle has to be practiced. And you will work out our Primordial Self and not to be amazed how much you have already change ourselves. We are just ourselves knowledge about yourself and about these. and that's what we have to achieve: that There's nothing so special, nothing so extraordinary, but only thing is you have to be acceptable to yourself. Lthink people when it starts moving it loses its control For that we have to do the Primordial to keep ourselves Primordial. We have to Oneness with ourselves. "May God bless you."

As you. know, for the moment, we, the yogis, are the only ones to have access to the secrets that Mother occasionally reveals to us. How can one describe the beauty of these last few days? Every day, while Shri Mataji was making Her way through the streets of Paris, we heard many people around us wondering, "Is this the Indian royal family, some Maharajas?" People spontaneously came up humbly to ask who She was. For those of us who know who She is, it was as difficult to reply then, as it is now, We did not know what to say. The first of our observations is that we would need many filmmakers, poets and writers to come and help us describe to you the true beauty of the Adi Shakti's sweet trip to Her own creation.. I would just like to give you an outline of what the Mother, through this present incarnation and all Her history, let us experience. How can we, such small human beings, arrive at this stage of evolution where we are able to feel Her presence from so close by? I leamed in the Islamic traditions that an incarnation is the centre of gravity of the world and right up to Mother's arrival at the Paris Airport I had not understood what this meant. Imagine the moment of Her arrival, the rays of sunlight, the waves of cool air surrounding Her, the way in which the flowers were facing, the scents, right up to Her house. Everything turned towards Her. We saw the world in Her and, through Her, we understood the meaning of our day. Even the cells of our bodies did not want to sleep at bedtime. July - August, 2004 The Divine Coof Breeze powerful scent that emanated from these flowers. Progressively, as we approached Her house, in the company of Sir C.P. and Shri Mataji, we started to appreciate the surrounding area more and more. We realized that we were not the only ones who had been getting ready for Mother's arrival. Actually, all the towns had decorated their streets with magnificent flowers, especially red ones. Shreedhar Buyle: Mother joked about Her age and the fact that She no longer remembered all the routes She had taken over so many years No negative thoughts could enter us: They fell away before reaching our mind. All our physical or verbal gestures became melodious. Everything happened magically around Her and for Her. In each epoch there is a divine incarnation. Without this incarnation, the world cannot survive. It is at that moment that we experienced this wonderful life, in Her house, with Her. Her house has been transformed into a real paradise. Even the Sahaja Yogis who lived in the house no longer recognized their own bedrooms. We remember so well the support of the on every continent. I took a road that made a vibrations, from the Ganas, while we prepared Her house during the weeks beforehand. We still keep that coolness. Even when we surpassed ourselves physically and mentally, other road was a little quicker." 1 could not help it was pleasant and we all discovered hidden laughing at that sweet vision of the humble and, resources within. For the first time, the building at the same time, all-powerful greatness of the work was carried out, not without effort, but without the tidal wave of the right side, as if children again. Mother had constructed solid dikes to stop us leaving our course. It was remarkable. With each wish to embellish Her house, times, reminding myself how Her Feet had taken solutions came to us, just by being aware that charge of the grief and despair of all Her children it is She who resolves all details. Of course, there was "Nirmal Source," the vibratory been comforted by all the love coming from Her workshop, Her gift, which was enjoyed regularly. Feet. And the work on ourselves was so intense, deep and sometimes difficult to contain. We had never would be aware of the intensity and the depth of seen that. It was tike during a Sahaj seminar. Her work and that the reality of the Divine She was preparing us to be better instruments; Incarnation would enter our small human to be better able to receive Her. It is She that consciousness. We prayed that all the badness detour in order to avoid another shorter one that had many speed bumps. As we neared the ashram, Mother remarked gently, "I believe the Adi Shakti who was getting ready to see Her Majid: During those days, I was able to massage Mother's Feet for up to five hours at all over the world and how these children had During these massages, we prayed that we and negativity that were absorbed by this body brought us closer to Her. All the Sahaja Yogis involved in all aspects would come back to our small hands, so that of the preparation found themselves rapidly our Mother would not suffer more from this work. brought into the centre and they cleared out We prayed that we would be able to get rid of deeply. We were surfing on a wave of dynamic the conditioning that makes us believe that love, which acts and transforms. We had all incarnations are here to suffer in our place. We worked for Her, but, in fact, we had all worked prayed that humanity would adopt this good for ourselves as well, The flowers offered at the airport were in Incarnation in Her presence and that, for years perfect harmony with the colours of Her sari. Three times Mother breathed in deeply the spend relaxing moments and holidays, outside resolution to be able to adore the Divine to come, our Divine Mother would be able to The Divine Cool Breeze 10 July - August, 2004 Shreedhar: While massaging Her Feet, the words of devotion were like a mirror in which the times for pujas, where She would be the subject of our adoration. We prayed that, as Sahaja Yogis, thanks to our resolution and the quality of our attention, we would be able to succeed collectively in lightening the work of our Mother, so that She may be able to begin Her holidays on Earth starting now. We prayed that our Divine Mother accept the idea of holidays because She has never allowed Herself the idea of not working God became aware of His/Her Divinity. The visible dimension of Shri Mataji became extraordinary at that moment, shining and powerful. Her face lit up the whole room. Gyanendra Even: 1 was the guardian of the house. My role was directed towards a vibratory perception of people coming to the house. Working for Mother allowed me finally to live each day using my perception of vibrations fully. At one moment, Shri Mataji asked us to change the position of the furniture in Her, bedroom. It was a unique experience for me to be directly at my Mother's service under Her orders. Surrounded by scents and flowers and with the direct attention of my Mother I felt I was transported into another world. I did not even feel the weight of the furniture. Through the different placings, chosen one after the other by Shri Mataji, we realized all the depth behind each detail. I felt that it is this depth that we should experience in every moment of our everyday life. It is astonishing how many French yogis. yuva shaktis and children were able to feel through vibrations, Mother's arrival in France at the exact moment, when some did not even know She would be coming. Majid: Shri Mataji proposed a little visit to Paris that we thought would last a few minutes, but which turned into a visit of more than five hours, for the world. Moreover, during one of these prayers, Shri Mataji said to me, as if She was reading my mind, "We have never really thought of having a holiday." I was able to say that the primary income of France was from tourism and that the fact that She was putting Her attention on tourism would only help our country. During the massages, we had the opportunity to mention to Shri Mataji that, for us, it is evident that without Her the world has no future, that with Her all the quarrels between religions will end because She is proposing one sole religion for everyone, which incorporates the roots of all religions. Shri Mataji then told us that the problem with all these religions is that they have forgotten the feminine aspect of the Divine. We were then able to affirm that, thanks to Her, this aspect will be able to fully take its proper place. After that Shri Maraji asked us how we could get that idea through to people and affirmed, to us that if each Sahaja Yogi did his work, we would be able to transmit this message to humanity. We also recalled all the predictions made in the past, that Her incarnation would live for a hundred years on this Earth, in addition to the with Her attention on each detail. We were struck by Her capacity to discern, among products of highly reputed brands, finding the item of Her divine choice. This choice was so perfect that even Her car stopped in front of the desired shop. Afterwards, Mother paid particular attention to French embroidery. fact that She would travel less and less and From: receive fewer and fewer people because all the collectives of the world will come to Her, to Her (The Divine Cool Breeze) America Feet. SHRI MATAJI IN PARIS The shops chosen did not appear that that implies in terms of anxiety, special from the outside, but once insecurity and despair, we understood Mother was inside, all the objects took that it is absolutely false to believe that on their full value. (It seemed that the we cannot be of some help in this work. We do not know how Mother will use ganas themselves were taking care of the objects chosen by the Divine). us in this work, because She is the very Among the twenty shops in the street, source of this work as Shri Adi Shakti Shri Mataji chose precisely the only and will never let this need be known.

All the French Sahaja Yogis tell piece of china. The surprise with Shri Mataji is that She always tells you themselves that, if we can do it today, everything in advance, without Her why put it off until tomorrow? That is why all our collective, from Martinique to New Collectively, we wanted to really take OCaledonia, from Monaco to Lille, all the care of Mother, but, as usual, it is Mother Sahaja Yogis were transformed for a week into drivers, chauffeurs, painters. apparently being able to know. who took us at our word and, one by one - children, yuva shaktis, all the towns in France - She placed Her attention on us woodworkers, cooks. etc. We were transformed joyfully into servants at the service of our Mother.

VIBRATIONS In our heart, there is a flicker of light, which is burning all the time, which is Atma, the reflection of Parmatma in our heart. When the Kundalini rises, She opens the BRAHM RANDHRA. The seat of SADASHIVA the Pitha is in the Sahasrar, but Sadashiva is reflected in the heart as Atma. Pitha is created because it receives the subtle energy which is all pervading. In the same way, Pithas are in the brain, and the Pitha of Sadashiva is higher up in the Sahasrar, which is opened out, so that the subtle, the sukshma, passes into our heart, througha very subtle channel. Just like a gas-light, it has a flicker, and when the gas opens out, the prakash (enlightenment) occurs. Vibrations are the passage of this subtle energy through us. These vibrations start flowing through us only after our Kundalini rises through the Brahmrandhra. Vibrations give us complete balance, correct our physical being, our mental being and our emotional being. They give us a sense of complete spiritual oneness with God. They integrate us completely. Shri Mataji (Maha Avtar-1980) CREATION, MAN AND HIS FULFILMENT In this lecture I would talk about the something. According to this formula, if creation. I would switch on from the time, human beings are created by chance, it when we were just amoeba. Every seems an impossibility; because the time scientist who is open minded can see for that is taken so far is so short that only, at himself that this universe is a beautiful the most, may be, some living cell could have been created. cosmos, is very well organised and has run very smoothly and can also deduce that the creation of this particular universe been created and so beautifully it is Why a complicated human being has organised within himself, that it is hard to has led to the creation of this Mother Earth. About five million years back, this believe that some jugglerwas not behind the show. There must have been some scientist Mother Earth which was in gaseous form who has achieved these results. It could condensed and was cooled down. How have only been possible by some special hand to do these things; I mean if there was was it cooled down to the extent it did? Scientists accept this fact just as it is; they cannot find out because they have no organisation, no thinking, no planning, no powerful personality, The Almighty behind it, it could not have been possible. limitations. Why this thing happened? How it was started? It is easy to say there is no As science has its limitations, of course, God but very difficult to explain many things without saying that there is God, e.g. the we cannot find out how was it expedited, how it took place? But we can see, that we time that was taken for this universe to create a human being, is so very short, have achieved something in the field of science, by one method, perhaps similar that nothing else can explain it. to one that was used to trigger our evolution If you use the law of chance, we can so fast. find out how many times the permutations When I was a young student in school and combinations have to work to create atthat time I could never have believed that even a living cell. For example, in a test tube if you have 50 red pills & 50 white pills, all arranged in such a manner that all the we could ever reach the moon; none could, have believed. If anyone would have said, that, the people would have laughed at red ones are at the bottom and that white ones are at the top. You have to go on such a conjecture. Even today if you tell shaking them, and the arrangement of the pills gets disorganised completely. Then my grandmother, she does not believe it. She thinks it is just a story you are telling. to organise it back fully into the original But we have reached the moon, no doubt. In this system, we have used very arrangement, how many times one has to shake? They have discovered a formula, wonderful system of putting 5 capsules on that is -n raised to power something, into one another & the first capsule, the July August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze 21 lowest one explodes and triggers the form, it is in human beings. It is this force movement of the rest of four capsules. which exists in every one and evolves When the second one explodes, it gives everything, say from carbon to the amoeba an acceleration many more times than that stage and from amoeba to animal stage & with which it was already moving; the from animal to human stage. Even in speed increases in such a tremendous elements it exists because the elements also evolve. We do not know how they way that suddenly we find that the acceleration is a very high multiple of the first one; then the third one when it elements start changing their forms & evolve but it happens in Nature, that explodes gives another push to the capsule. Next, the fourth one explodes; we have no idea of this because we have mass and they become different elements; no way of measuring the quantity of this spacecraft. Through this kind of explosions change that is taking place. Then the animals also change, from fishes, many then the fifth one which contains the from one to the other, through that built-in mechanism, we have been able to achieve become reptiles, out of reptiles many a very high acceleration for the spacecraft. become mammals, from mammals, many become primates, monkeys and then human beings. All this happening takes knowing about our evolution from the place. How many are destroyed, how many In the same way our evolution has taken place. We got this idea without even UNCONSCIOUS. We have come to know remain, how many are transformed, how it has happened, but we cannot nobody has kept any account of it. correlate both these together. So, in the Today, we talk of population problem, perhaps many animals have taken birth as same way a human being was created out of amoeba or amoeba was created out of humans. You can see the effect of that, the all the elements. In the same manner we way people are behaving; you can be sure can say that we were made again of five that many animals have taken human form and they have yet to go through lot of physical being. Inside the physical being evolution & training as a human being to capsules. The first one is the physical, our was kept the emotional being. Inside the understand the value of human life. A human being starts evolving within himself. emotional being was kept the spiritual being & inside the spiritual being was kept the Now we have been human beings, as spirit or our attention. they say, for 14,000 years and we have been growing inside through our freedom. Human beings are the only people who get We can say, KUNDALINI is the one that triggers, that is the one that explodes. So Kundalini force is in everything, but freedom to evolve themselves to in the most affective, the best, the highest understand what is wrong & what is bad. July - August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze 22 Human beings have been given This freedom is granted because without freedom you cannot go any further. For freedom to understand, to develop their example, when you start studying in a school, you are told to learn tables 2x knowledge of the Creator of this creation own efficiency, to receive the ultimate 10=20; you learn by heart and do not and the powers of the Creator. That is why, question why it is so, but just go on and the Kundalini is placed in the human beings on. But when you reach a certain standard alone though there is Kundalini force and of education, say graduation or post there is Kundalini in another form in graduation standard, then you are given everything that exists. Only in the human freedom to write on this subject-why is it beings, this force is kept in the triangular bone in dormant state, to trigger their last that when you multiply 2 by 10 it is 20? It is because you have reached a certain stage jump into the unknown. Now this Kundalini of development. At this stage you are given freedom to find out for yourself. That is how exists, this is there: But to begin with, if I say before starting you are developed and then by this all this creation, who was created first, it development only you can teach the other is most interesting & may not be very people who are coming up. This is the way congenial to the mind of a scientist. It is much beyond science I am taiking now, the evolution has been. So far you have not felt your evolution that much before anything was created on from amoeba to this stage. You do not this Earth. Holiness was created, that we know how you became a human being, you call the Pavitrata. Sri Ganesha is the deity take it for granted. Even if you see your of that Holiness, God has created this Holiness to protect this creation. This eyes, they are so complicated. It is such a complicated organ that if you start studying them you will be amazed how things are atmosphere of Holiness He created to protect all the people and all the creativities made. If you just prick a pin in my finger, which are there and which are being immediately there is a reflex action. It is created by Him, otherwise nothing would so nicely built, it is so nicely arranged; it is work out. Just think if one of the Oceans so quick, it is so efficient, that one is surprised and amazed at the wonders of Earth would have toppled down; just was deeper even by 10 feet the balance of this kind of organization, that is this human imagine what a speed this Mother Earth body. But you see what human beings are, they are inefficiency personified. I sent four telegrams to my daughter and today she says, she received one telegram after one has, it revolves with such a tremendous speed, goes round the Sun regularly in a proper way, not in a round way, but in a special style as you know. She creates day and night for you. Day to wark and night to month. 23 July - August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze to seek it with all humility in your own being. rest. How She Herself has created this No body can hypnotise people for seeking beautiful atmosphere for you and has maintained the balance and the truth, those who are hypnotised cannot understand. In all your awareness, in all your dignity you have to get the knowledge of truth. temperature that was given to Her, is only done by the power of Holiness that was created first. But it is not just giving you a lecture that Now, man in his foolishness is challenging that Holiness. He thinks he can you are going to understand. It is not challenge God, that is the sign of his brainwashing that has been done by all awareness. If he had risen to that height nonsensical people throughout. It is the happening, the actualization by which you reach that state of awareness, by which where he could feel God pulsating in every thing he would never have done that. But before he could reach that state of you develop the dynamics of collective perfection he has started talking about consciousness, by which you become God. Who is going to challenge his collectively conscious, is an awareness authority is stupid man, who does not want which develops within you is real to achieve his perfection and wants to talk actualization. As you are a human being, you know big. All pervading power is of Holiness which corrects, which guides, which co- ordinates, which loves and which that when this capsule of human being was triggered you got lots of things, e.g., your awareness is more than that of animals. organises everything for you to get this The University itself, animals do not have awakening within you. So one must any universities. Animals don't understand understand, how Kundalini awakening is gardens, they don't understand dirt and filth, the most important thing that has to they don't understand beauty. All this has happen. Kundalini awakening is the only come to you, deep within you manifested way you are going to know your spirit. This is the most important happening in the history of creation. It is like laying out the as soon as you become human beings. So, as soon as you become super human being through Kundalini awakening you become aware of yourself within and you become aware of others within. This the fruits must appear. It is the most is the collective consciousness. This is, important thing and has to happen. Every what Sahaja Yoga is. Sahaja Yoga is the garden, then you plant the trees, the trees have flowers and now the time has come, individual who is seeking the TRUTH will system of nature. The way this creation took place is also Sahaja. 'Sah' means with, know it. The trouble with truth is, that you have & 'ja' means born, Sahaja means born with. 24 July August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze Every thing is built in within you like in a power deals with our physical being and seed. out of which how much a scientist knows. You will be surprised that if knowledge is If you see a seed, it has a primule within an ocean, the scientist knows only a drop. And to know the Ocean, the drop is to be it to sprout. Seed has the complete power of the tree it is going to be. The whole thing dissolved in the Ocean. But a drop cannot is in the seed, in the same way in the human seed the whole picture of what he by its own effort become the Ocean, the going to be, is built in the whole Ocean has to dissolve the drop. And that is what Ocean has to do, if the creation is mechanism, is placed within. Now there are the undercurrents of your has to have its fulfillment and His beautiful creation is manifested in the human being. being, which I will be describing to you. The human being must find out his What are the forces built up inside human fulfillment. If he cannot find out his beings? Only thing I would like to say that you are like a computer, you are already fulfillment, he cannot reach perfection in made like a computer, only thing is that you anyone of his endeavours. God, Himself will have to be put to the mains. If you are put not rest till He does that. For, who would to the mains then the computer starts like to destroy one's own creation. In working by itself, but it is the way you thousands and thousand of years of time this has come to its fulfillment and if it is to understanda machine. You are a human be done by me, if I am the person who is supposed to trigger your Kundalini, why being, you know what is love. To a scientist I cannot talk of love, I am talking of Divine Holiness, the love of God which has should you have any objection? Thank God, I was not a scientist, otherwise I would created you, which wants you to know Him. Through science you cannot do that. Every have finished my life making an atom bomb. scientist must be loving somebody if not Thank God, I was not scientist otherwise I his children at least, his dog. He must be would have gone mad, listening to mad loving flowers, if not flowers he might be people. Thank God, I am not a politician, loving his horses, but he knows what is you know how they are. Thank God, I am none of these, I am love. And if he can understand that spark just your Mother, concerned, absolutely of love, from where it has come, love that concerned, about your ultimate well beings and not about superficial things. I am talking about is a synthesis of all these powers. May God bless you all. Science deals with only a very little (Nirmala Yoga-1980) portion, I will also tell you which part of this TRANSLALION OF A LETTER OF H. H. MATAJI SRI NIRMALADEVI WRITTEN IN MAY 1977, FROM ENGLAND TO HER DISCIPLES IN INDIA When someone speaks harshly to little children, then I feel a stab on my heart. Tell me, in Sahaja Yogi, should not there be exhibition of loving feelings? People who are the off-springs of the same Mother very My dearest Sahaja Yogis: My Blessings to you all.

People talk of "universal in case someone commits what may be brotherhood of man" but is this feasible if described as an error. This broad- we don't love each-other as we should. At the moment, all I have to say is that you mindedness is capable of generating must use introspection and discrimination feelings of happiness in one's self and acts and rid yourself of such 'poison' as it is only then that you will make a real Sahaja Yogi. In case a Sahaja Yogi comes to your like a magnet where others are concerned. This broad-mindedness is the quality of a human body and gets multiplied with the place, invite him as if he is one of your own awakening of the Kundalini. This is the manifestation of divinity. But those people brothers. Look after him nicely. This will purify your household. I cannot understand how and why Sahaja Yogis form 'groups' as with every passing moment your who remain in "artificial" environments only, they cannot enjoy this Bliss.

Non-Sahaja possible. Yogis could argue for hours against Detachment means be attached only by our spirit. Then the reflection of this spirit on others creates the connection to them. detachment without bringing new elements to the real answer: can we be detached? Being detached means love through our heart, and not through our brain. And when we love through our heart, the spirit, which is always detached, emits love, without any We, as Sahaja Yogis can give absolute answer to every absolute question. The absolute question is: is detachment possible? Yes, detachment is possible, more than possible, necessary. The great test is in discrimination or distinctions. It emits love everywhere, at any time and to everybody. The spirit is never tired to emit love and is not upset if the people cannot fully absorb this love or when they do not respond to the family. The people who can influence with their negativity the most are those who stay the nearest to us, who are too attached to us; the parents for instance. love according to our own expectations. They can use this attachment bondage by The sunbeams do not know if they'll reach creating tense relationships with their this tree or this flower, they just shine and children. It is quite common that the child the sun itself is enjoying the manifestation with the most beautiful personality is often the one who is the most submitted to these of its beams. Because love is absolute, it spreads and sprouts everywhere in the most detached way. To be detached means love without bondages, and gets most involved. Detachment does not mean to break all conditioning and discrimination. Detachment, however, is only possible the ties with their parents, on the contrary, it helps to establish proper ties.

Detachment means attention on MATAJI, attention on our spirit. So if we mother, Mother you are the one who can want to increase our detachment, we have improve my intelligence, YOU ARE THE REAL DOER, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF THIS UNIVERSE. I just to increase our attention in order to increase our heart. have to love you as a child with devotion By increasing our heart, we deepen, strengthen beautifully our ties to the and adoration. In this way, I integrate every single minute, every glance, every word into Sahaja Yoga. I am acting without thinking, I am loving without attachment. But I can integrate only when I am detached. With attachment I still keep on Goddess and the relationship between the Goddess and the child reflects itself with more light and intensity on the human beings. In this way detachment means also to be the perfect child of the Mother, a thinking I can do the job, I can cure them, I child full of devotion, attention, admiration, can console my father, my mother, I.. I...I respect, love, tremendous, pure, innocent love to the greatest of all the Mothers, We do not know that this "I" is our EGO because by being a child we glance and who is very satisfied, when it dresses itself in "I would like to help others" habits... And express our joy, and by expressing our joy, we only emit detached love. So detachment in Sahaja Yoga is not we go to the hospitals cleaning the shoes of the sick people, bringing the meals to only possible, it is necessary. If we want the sick people, enjoying the idea of being to grow in the quest and the discovery of the great healer of this "hospitals the SELF, we have to be detached. It is inhabitants". And we start believing that by possible to be detached in order to love, doing this job, we gain the realm of God. We do not realise that it is our attachment but it is necessary to be detached in order to Ego 'l'.. which is driving us to do these to rise. We must try to avoid to put our attention on gross things, thinking too. things.

Be sure that you for them because you have been going on are telling the Truth and nothing else and wrong path yourself, sometimes. You have been misled before, so have more that you have felt the Truth in full ways. Those who have not felt the vibrations. sympathies. That is why if you have done mistakes in a way it is good because you should not talk of Sahaja Yoga. They have have more sympathies for such people. no authority. They have to receive vibrations. They have to fully imbibe within Then you are not to harm human beings in anyway, you are not to cause them any them and then they can say, "Yes, we felt". This is very important task Sahaja Yogis bodily harm, any emotional upsetting just for harm's sake; for correction it is alright. have to do in these modern times, that is, to tell aloud that they have found the Truth. The second Statute is that you have to That part is very weak. In whatever way you stand on your own legs and know that you like you can announce the Truth. You can are here one with the Truth, the testimony of Truth, that you have seen the Truth. You write books, you can talk to your friends, know what Truth is and you cannot relations and everyone and tell them, "this compromise with falsehood. You just is the Truth now, that you have entered in cannot. For that you need not harm the kingdom of God, that you have been blessed by the Grace of God, that you are anyone. You have to just profess it. You realized souls, that you have felt the Divine have to stand up and say that you have power which is prevailing everywhere. That seen the Truth and this is the Truth, and you can give realization to others". This you you have to be one with it so that people see that light of Truth in you and they have to tell others and know that by your accepting the truth, you are not adding accept it. anything to the Truth but you are adoring It is not for telling others that you have yourself. One requires courage to enjoy the to be truthful and this is the Truth we have seen and this is what God's Laws are, how Truth. Sometimes people may mock at you, laugh at you and persecute also but they work out. Through vibratory that should not be any worry to you because awareness we have been able to see that your relationship is with the Statutes, with this is the Truth. But be completely 31 July-August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze the Grace of God. When that is your testimony and that you should announce connection, you should not worry about it. The third thing for Guru a Sahaja Yogi other people and what they have to say has to do, is to develop Detachment. about it. You have to stand up, adorn Gradually you do develop it because you yourself with that Truth and talk to people find that unless and until you develop that and people wilI know that you found it. With that authenticity with which you speak detachment, you are not receiving people will know that you have found it The vibrations in the full way. All kinds of detachments have to be developed, means difference between a realized soul and a your priorities change. Once your attention non-realized soul is basically this: He does not talk of woes and his separation with gets fixed up with your spirit, the catch or God. He says "I have Found it Now. This is the hold on things which are of no importance starts reducing by itself, e.g., it". Like Christ said, "I Am The Light, I Am you have a father, a mother and a sister. The Path." Or anybody else can say that This is a bigger problem in India. Here, you but you can make out that it is not Truth. With the confidence, with that complete are overdetached. But in India, people are very much involved in their own children, understanding, coming out of your heart people can make out, 'this is absolute "this is My son" & others are all orphans. Only, your sons and daughters are the real Truth' and then all kinds of falsehood must children. "My daughter, I must do this for be denounced. Does't matter if somebody my son, my father, my mother". Two types of Attachments are there, one through (E) feels bad because by telling that you are saving them and not harming them. But must be told in a correct way, not in Moha-involvement into that. That you want frivolous way, not in frivolous way. In a very to do this for them, that you want to give persuasive way, you must tell them that them property, have insurance for them and this is wrong. You must wait for the time every sort of thing. And another could be the other way, as when you can tell people, more in we have here. You hate your father, you hate your mother. You hate everyone. Both confidence. Tell them, "this is wrong, it is wrong, you don't know. We have done the things are just the same. So, Detachment same thing". This is how you are going to express your principle of Mastery or you must be developed. The Detachment is can say" Guru Tatwa". You have to be that you are your father, you are your truthful. First and foremost thing is that, mother, you are everything. Only your spirit you should know the Truth and stand the is everything to you, only your spirit you 32 July- August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze love is attachment. For example, in a tree, have to enjoy, then the detachment comes from them, then you really do good to them, say the sap rises, goes to all the necessary because, by detaching you see the parts, all the flowers, all the fruits, then complete vision about them and about goes back to Mother Earth. It is not what is to be done. For example, people attached to anyone. Supposing, the sap have attachment with some crazes. goes and gets attached into one fruit. What will happen? The fruit will die and the tree Human beings always become crazy about something. I mean it can be anything. One has to understand that there should will die. Detachment gives you the movement of your love, circulation of your be only one craze that is, to be settled, love. For things now. Things have no value absolutely settled in your spirit. All other crazes will disappear because it is the unless and until there are emotions behind it. For example the sari, I am wearing today, greatest joy giving thing. That's the most nourishing thing, that's the most beautiful was bought for Guru Day, Guru Purnima but they had no sari. The other day, they thing. wanted to have Sari for Puja. Then I said if So, all the other things fall off, you enjoy you insist I may have, but I wore it today only that which is the source of all enjoyment. You get yourself attached to just to say that this was bought with that your spirit, and detachment starts working. devotion, that love that on Guru Day, Mother would like to wear something of a Sometimes detachment is taken as a lighter shade; white-the pure colour of silk,- licence for becoming dry to others, which complete detachment. But in white all the is absurd. This is a human quality to make everything dirty what is beautiful. Actually, colours are mixed, then only it becomes a person who is detached is the most white-such a balance and unity it is. It beautiful person-is the extremely loving should be that you should become white person, is love. Look at the flowers, they and whiter than snow. Detachment is purity, are detached. They are dying tomorrow, is innocence. Innocence is such a light, light that really blinds vou to all that iş filthy. they are not going to live but every minute You would not even know that a person has they live they are emitting fragrance to you. come with bad intentions. A person comes The trees are not attached to anything; they to you, comes to steal. You will say, 'come will die tomorrow, doesn't matter. But if along, what do you want'. You will offer him anybody comes to them, they give tea and all that, then he says,. "I have come shadow, they give fruits. Attachment to rob you", "Alright rob me, if you want to", means death of love, complete death of July August, 2004 33 The Divine Cool Breeze not to harm anyone-Ahimsa, not to kill So he might not rob you at all. That is what anyone. That does not mean that you do is innocence, which one may develop, only not have to eat meat and fish and all that. through detachment. Detachment is of the That is all nonsense. Of course, you should attention. Do not allow your attention to get not hanker after food, no doubt about it. You involved in to something, even rituals of do not kill anyone means, you do not kill a anything. Say, now we have not washed human being. Thou shall not kill. So first Mataji's Feet, alright it does not matter. You thing is not to harm anyone. love Me, alright. If some mistakes may be Second is to know that you have found committed, what does it matter? If you see the truth and give the testimony of the truth. on the abstract plane, it's love. This is just Third is the detachment, the way I have a step forward. Like somebody ran very fast and fell down before reaching Me and told you about detachment. Not to get says, "Mother, Sorry, I fell down before attached to any one person because he is reaching you. I should have not done that. a relation or something; but develop a But, Mother see, how I prostrated before universal feeling and also not to hate anyone. That is a kind of worst attachment. you. Mother see, how I prostrated before you". It's a complete poetry-Detachment. So, one has to develop that detachment of all Sahaja Yogis 'I hate'. It is called as to be a Guru and that detachment does dandak, is the statute. You cannot hate This word should go away from the mouth anyone, even Rakshasas. Better not hate ) or anything like not mean Sanyas ( that, Sometimes one has to wear those them. Give them a chance. Now the tourth statute of the Lord is, to dresses to announce to the world because if you have to work in a short time then lead a moral life. These statutes were given you have to take to that intensive by all the Gurus. Take them from Socrates, behaviour like Christ, you can say or onwards, Moses, Ibrahim, Dattatreya, Adishankaracharya. All these people had Janaka, upto say Nanak, Mohammed Sahib and take up to the point when it was a very very short life. In that short life they had to achieve such a tremendous task about 100 years back at the most-was that they had to actually take a military Sainath. All of them have said that you have uniform just to avoid problems, not to to lead a Moral Life. None of them had said that you do not get married, that you should impress others. Now-a-days people do it have no relationship with your wife. All this just to impress others that they are detached and do just the things opposite is nonsense. Lead a moral life. When you are young and not married, keep your eyes to it. So, we understand that first work is 34 July - August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze respect, with dignity. Not staring at people," on the ground, Mother Earth gives you that which is just playing in the hands of these innocence. Most of the confusions and problems, specially in the Western life possessions. The whole society is have come because they have thrown pssessed. All the Satanic forces have morality to the sea and to accept morality been let loose, I think and the way the people are possessed, they cannot see as the very basis of society is very difficult through these things. They are supposed for them. It is complete reversion. But you to be Christians. Attention is to be looked have to do it, you have to turn the whole wheel back. So many things were done in after. That is the most important thing. Because attention is the one which is going the beginning of the society to establish these pure relationships. There are laws to be enlightened. So, we have to know what morality is. which act, just as chemical Laws are there, Physcial Laws are there in chemistry Let people laugh and say that these are Goodie-Goodies or this sort of thing. We and Physics. There are human laws which one should understand, the relationship are proud and not ashamed of being between each other. The sublimity of their righteous people. This is a very important relationship, the purity of their relationship part of righteousness. Those who do not follow this, will lose their vibrations very must be understood. Then only you can have a very very happy married life, which is the basis. "Thou shalt not commit fast. Then for a Guru, He should not accumulate things; he should not have adultery," Christ has said (Perhaps he much possessions. If he has possessions knew the modern people as they would be they should be just what he needs. A Guru using their brains for this). He said, "Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes". What a must give away his possessions. He should not have stamp-collection and all vision, in those days to think. Even, I could such kinds of collections. Whatever things not understand it when I was in India. Only after coming here I could see, what it could are useful and beautiful, which give mean. It is a possession on the eyes- happiness and joy to others, to their eyes, possession. It's a joyless, useless such things must be collected, He should behaviour. Attention is frittered away have such things which give symbolic to his life, very symbolic, which suggest that completely. There's no dignity. "eyes should be steady. If you look at somebody he is a Dharmic Person. He should not steadily, he should know that you have have things that are symbolic of Adharmikta, of irreligious life. Everything Sahaja Yoga in you. With love, with 35 July-August, 2004 The Divine Col Breeze that he has or wears or shows should be because I am quite good at giving away. So, I told one of my niece in-laws that I want representative of his Dharmikta. I do not to give away this sari to her. On a holy day, know the situation here but in India, when we can give it to elders and so I will give it we were young we were not allowed to listen to all kinds of music. Not allowed, to her. She said, "You have only one left just not allowed to see all sort of filthy now, why do you want to give away even that. You have given away all you had". I things, filthy documentaries etc. Anything that is impure, giving bad vibrations should said, "Now, I feel like giving. I will give it not be possessed. Even whatever you away". And we were discussing this in the kitchen and I said, "why do you tell me, 1 have, you should think whom you can give am not going to take advice on this point". this. So, it means you should have possessions to express your generosity. And at that time, the bell rang and a Sahaja Yogi has to be generous like the gentleman came. He had brought 3 saris sea. A miserly Sahaja Yogi-l cannot think for me from Africa and one of them was of that-it is like mixing of darkness with exactly the same as one I had. Because I had given some silk saris to this lady when light. Miserliness is not allowed in Sahaja she was going to Africa, she thought she Yoga. Anybody, whose mind goes on how could send me some saris, and she sent me these saris. You are just standing in much money I can save, how much labour the center; from one door it comes and from can I save-there are many labour saving the other it goes. It is nice to see all that devices, and money-saving devices-and movement. It is very interesting. Apart from that the way you give it, the also cheating others or making money out of few things here and there and all such things are against Sahaja Yoga. They will emotional side of it is so beautiful, you pull you down. Enjoy your generosity. How cannot imagine it. I met a lady after say 30 many times must I have told you about years of her married life in London, generosity. I remember; once I wanted to suddenly and she said, "Oh what coincidence". I said, "why"? She said, "I am give a Sari that I had from abroad. You see, in India, the people like that kind of a Sari wearing the same pearl necklace you had given me on my wedding-day to day. And very much, although I do not understand should meet you". The whole thing, the why they like this nylon sort of sari. A lady whole drama changed with the meeting. It said, "I have not got a sari from abroad and I would like to have one imported Sari". I is how you give even a small thing. It is the had only one such Sari left with me greatest art of giving that one has to learn The Divine Cool Breeze July - August, 2004 36 in Sahaja Yoga. Give up the mundane type dresses, which are suitable to you, e.g. in of things, like if you go to somebody's this climate there is no use to wear dress birthday, you send a card, 'thank you, very like Rama used to wear. He will not wear much'. Make it a more deeper significant anything on the top, there was no need. You thing. Let us see how you develop your have to wear the dress of whatever country symbols of love. When you have these you belong, whatever suits the occasion. things of vibrations and you will give it to a Whatever you think is dignified and good. Sahaja Yogi, he will know what it is. Never It speaks for your more elegance and your lack in generosity specially among Sahaja personality. Whatever suits you, you Yogis. Gradually, you will be amazed how should wear, not like all the people wearing through small things you win over as if the moss Colour dress, the great suit, a vibrations flow brought those things and work out for those people. horrible looking and making clowns out of them. No clownish things are necessary, Then, for a Sahaja Yogi it is important no dandy stuff is necessary. Simple, to use things which are more natural in their beautiful dresses should be worn which character. Give up artificiality and be more give you dignity. Actually in the East, people natural. I do not mean that take out the believe that God has given you a beautiful roots and eat them or you eat the fish raw. body and it is to be adorned with the beauty I do not mean that. Always you must avoid of what human beings have created, just going too far with the things. But try to lead to respect it, just to worship your body, For example in India women wear their saris a life which is more natural. Natural, in the sense that people know that there is no and saris are expressive of their moods and vanity about you. Some people can be the expression of their worship of their bodies, other way round. You see, they will dress because you must respect your body. Dresses should be such that they should up like a tramp, just to attract more attention. I mean there can be both ways. be for utility as well as dignity. There is no Then I find some people colouring their hair need to have uniform clothes for Sahaja and all that. So you have to be a natural Yogis at all. I don't like it. There should be person; very natural in your behaviour. It variety as nature is. Everyone should look a different person. For Puja etc. all can can mean anything absurd also to some wear something similar, it doesn't matter people who do not use their wisdom. Wisdom is very important in Sahaja Yoga, where your attention need not be on the variety. But outside, you should be normal that you have to keep intact all the time. Natural means you must wear natural person. You are all householders, nobody 37 July - August, 2004 The Divine Cool Breeze has to announce something. For you some are touchable some are untouchable. This is in our Indian Community, horrible. people, I don't even advice to put the red mark when walking on the street. You Brahamanism of India has ruined India should be normal person, not to be pointed out. You need not be dressed absurdly or in funny way but in a normal way as others wear. To be normal is very important in completely and you learn from for example, who was Vyasa, the one who wrote Geeta, who was he? He was illegitimate son of a fisherwoman. That is why deliberately he was born like that. All the Brahmins who Sahaja Yoga. Then we have to know that Sahaja read Geeta, ask them who was Vyasa? Yogis have to get over all kinds of Brahmins are those who are realized souls and for realized souls there is nothing like discriminations and identifications according to races, colour and different such non-sensical things like where and in what caste or community you are born. Christian, you don't belong to a Church, With all education and everything in the religions in which you are born. As a West, we find this nonsense of Racialism, you are not born in a Church. Thank God, I just can't understand. If somebody is fair otherwise all the spirits there will capture you, immediately. But these identifications or dark, after all God had to make variety will linger on. To accept anything new, you in colour, in every way. Who told you that have to be reborn and you are reborn now. you are the most handsome people going round. May be for some markets here or in Now, you are Dharamatit means you need Hollywood, it may fit but in the kingdom of not follow any particular type of religion.

Now, in short I have to tell you how you you. And that you will establish the statutes have to do it yourself. You have to work out of the lord in their hearts and emancipate them. Give them their salvation because your void clearly. First of all you have to you have got your salvation. You are the know that void catches when you had a channels, without the channels this all wrong type of a Guru. You must know about pervading power cannot work out. That's your Guru entirely.

She is spreads through its rays-from your heart July - August, 2004 39 The Divine Cool Breeze it is not a sin for me. I can kill anyone and Mahamaya; not easy to find out. She behaves in a very normal way and do whatever intrigue or anything. I really tell you, that's a fact. Do anything, I am above sin but I see to it that I do not do anything sometimes you are outwitted. But you see how in small things also, She behaves. How Her character is expressed, how Her like that in your presence, so that you do love is expressed. Try to remember Her not get one of these things, because that is my quality. You have a very supreme Guru, no doubt, but still you must know that forgiveness. Then you should know that have the Guru that many people must you have desired to have, who is the source of those powers of supremacy you don't all Gurus. It is the ardent desire of even have.

Under these circumstances you are mean you have a wonderful 'Guru" otherwise, I must say, I wish I had one like much better off because no Guru goes to that extent.

After marriage, H.H. Mataji's name became Shrivastava. "Shri" means "the God- dess" (the holy Spirit) and "Vastava" means "in reality" So, by a playful chance, NIRMALA DEVI SHRIVASTAVA reads.

Those who think they have world, a new family, new standards, problems, I have asked them to write them everything that is not known so far. That is down and I will try to answer them and tell quite possible and it's being done, but what them what sort of a problem it is. But before is quite difficult is how to make people more adaptable, more in tune with each other. It still our Sahaja Yogis have not come to that seems to be a difficult thing. They are level to understand the Oneness, the alright among themselves, if they have their uniqueness in their hearts. All this comes own friends, their own style. But to make from within, not from without, so all efforts them absolutely one, one with each other, made outside is of no use. in one tune, in one life is very difficult. Now the problem is, we have beautiful what we are. It's all there. Just you have to people, beautiful souls, but they do not be that, to become that. This is rather become so one with each other as they difficult to understand for people who have should have.

They are not Sahaja Yogis but they are trying to become. On the contrary, they should know that they are Sahaja Yogis and they don't have to become anything. Then there is no problem. We have to know that we are One, all the same. There's no need I am one with you and I will always remain the same with all of you; for me there is no difference. If that temperament changes a little bit you will see the oneness among all and the difference will be lost in no time. It's very surprising how you understand each other.

That is essential, when this happens, the problems of the that is right, that is the truth. The truth started a long time back, much before difficulty. anybody could think of having the truth. It all went out with so many things which whole world will be solved without any Today's Puja is a special one because you are doing the Puja of something that never went into any transformations, which was not changed at all, remained the same, were not truthful and then the truth went away. born with the same and is still with the The Truth is not so easily accepted as the untruth is. Why? Because we are standing in untruth. Our all understanding is untruth and we have to change our understanding to truth, which is not difficult get lost in the atmosphere or the other same. In such a Puja what anyone has to say? Nothing. Just be one with yourself. we have to be one with ourselves and not to movements of the brain. Because this is because we are truth. We are the Truth. To become the Truth which we are, why the time when the brain starts moving and should it be difficult? Should not, but it happens. So that means there is over himself.

And the thing that but as soon as it starts moving, there's a is wrong is that we cannot face ourselves. danger. In the same way, we have to know We face others, not ourselves. We never ihat our mind is very, very difficult and see ourselves. We have no idea as to what should not go into the wrong directions. our own situation is. And for that, you needed a Mother to show you. That's how Mother's Puja because we should try to be the Mother came on this earth to tell you on the line of Primordial Mother. We have what's the problem with you within. This principle has to be practiced. And you will work out our Primordial Self and not to be amazed how much you have already change ourselves. We are just ourselves knowledge about yourself and about these. and that's what we have to achieve: that There's nothing so special, nothing so extraordinary, but only thing is you have to be acceptable to yourself.

Every day, while Shri Mataji was making Her way through the streets of Paris, we heard many people around us wondering, "Is this the Indian royal family, some Maharajas?" People spontaneously came up humbly to ask who She was. For those of us who know who She is, it was as difficult to reply then, as it is now, We did not know what to say. The first of our observations is that we would need many filmmakers, poets and writers to come and help us describe to you the true beauty of the Adi Shakti's sweet trip to Her own creation.. I would just like to give you an outline of what the Mother, through this present incarnation and all Her history, let us experience. How can we, such small human beings, arrive at this stage of evolution where we are able to feel Her presence from so close by?

Surrounded by scents and flowers and with the direct attention of my Mother I felt I was transported into another world. I did not even feel the weight of the furniture. Through the different placings, chosen one after the other by Shri Mataji, we realized all the depth behind each detail. I felt that it is this depth that we should experience in every moment of our everyday life. It is astonishing how many French yogis. yuva shaktis and children were able to feel through vibrations, Mother's arrival in France at the exact moment, when some did not even know She would be coming. Majid: Shri Mataji proposed a little visit to Paris that we thought would last a few minutes, but which turned into a visit of more than five hours, for the world. Moreover, during one of these prayers, Shri Mataji said to me, as if She was reading my mind, "We have never really thought of having a holiday." I was able to say that the primary income of France was from tourism and that the fact that She was putting Her attention on tourism would only help our country. During the massages, we had the opportunity to mention to Shri Mataji that, for us, it is evident that without Her the world has no future, that with Her all the quarrels between religions will end because She is proposing one sole religion for everyone, which incorporates the roots of all religions. Shri Mataji then told us that the problem with all these religions is that they have forgotten the feminine aspect of the Divine. We were then able to affirm that, thanks to Her, this aspect will be able to fully take its proper place. After that Shri Maraji asked us how we could get that idea through to people and affirmed, to us that if each Sahaja Yogi did his work, we would be able to transmit this message to humanity. We also recalled all the predictions made in the past, that Her incarnation would live for a hundred years on this Earth, in addition to the with Her attention on each detail. We were struck by Her capacity to discern, among products of highly reputed brands, finding the item of Her divine choice. This choice was so perfect that even Her car stopped in front of the desired shop.

The seat of SADASHIVA the Pitha is in the Sahasrar, but Sadashiva is reflected in the heart as Atma. Pitha is created because it receives the subtle energy which is all pervading. In the same way, Pithas are in the brain, and the Pitha of Sadashiva is higher up in the Sahasrar, which is opened out, so that the subtle, the sukshma, passes into our heart, througha very subtle channel. Just like a gas-light, it has a flicker, and when the gas opens out, the prakash (enlightenment) occurs. Vibrations are the passage of this subtle energy through us. These vibrations start flowing through us only after our Kundalini rises through the Brahmrandhra. Vibrations give us complete balance, correct our physical being, our mental being and our emotional being. They give us a sense of complete spiritual oneness with God. They integrate us completely.

Even in speed increases in such a tremendous elements it exists because the elements also evolve. We do not know how they way that suddenly we find that the acceleration is a very high multiple of the first one; then the third one when it elements start changing their forms & evolve but it happens in Nature, that explodes gives another push to the capsule.

The absolute question is: is detachment possible? Yes, detachment is possible, more than possible, necessary. The great test is in discrimination or distinctions.
