And only within you can feel that. So we have to understand it's not the show, it's not, nothing else but just the feeling within that you know that you have love of the Divine. This you can have because it is just there. No one see so many Sahaja yogis for the Guru Puja. It's very gratifying to think that there are so many, so many of you who are disciples, It was never expected that I'II have so many, can give you, no one can sell it, no one can so many people following me. share it, it's just there. And that love has to be felt and shared. It has nothing to do with oth- It is being expected that you all will follow my message of love. I do not have to say ers. Whether others love you or not makes no anything for love. Love is absolute gift of just difference. It's within yourself, this feeling, this feeling others. There is no talking about it, depth is there which you enjoy. It is their discussing about it, nothing. Just you feel that capacity. Everyone has this, lots of it. love. To feel the love I will say one has to Sometimes you feel you've lost it, sometimes you feel you've gained it, but it is there as have a heart, but how can you have a heart? It is not your own doing, it's all there. So it is much as... something already gifted to you, you have it, In the same way the source of your love is that you can feel that love. It's so much eternal. You cannot measure it, it's difficult. joy-giving, peace-giving. But it's beyond all your human expressions and it shows your understanding, your Love has its own qualities and one of the quality is that love understands, Its understanding of love which has no words, understanding is not in words, not in thought, which cannot explain, but by itself you wil but understands within. It can feel within, which know that I have this quality to love within myself and I can enjoy this love within myself. is very important. This is the most important part one has to realise, that love, you can only feel it. You cannot talk about it, you cannot show about it, but it is within and you can feel This is a very unique gift which only very human beings have. Among animals also you few find people who have love, but that love is not it. deep, that love has no meaning. It has some And that is why today is your celebration of purpose, maybe, but it is not human. So it lacks the beauty of human love. It lacks the understanding of human love. the Guru, is the celebration where you can feel that love for your Guru. That feeling is Issue: 9 & 10 The Divine Cool Breeze from what love I am telling you. That has some It is not easy to describe or explain love in human words. This you can only feel within yourself. That is what once you start feeling, you can feel who is your Guru, whom do you connections, some meanings, but this love which is Divine, cannot be described in words, that's the only reason why you should love you are being taught and persuaded and made to live in a particular manner. All that is think your Guru. Now there's no reason for that. Because love is love. That is how the Guru becomes very important in life. We have people who love their Guru and are very much possible if you get immersed in it It's very gratifying, it is very lovable to see how people love each other and then this love spreads. Love begets love. If somebody has love it just spreads. He need not tell anyone, he need not confess it, but it will spread. And in chaste understanding of their love. In this great opportunity of love that we are, we are here to enjoy each other fully from our heart. That there is this ocean within us. We have just to be submerged in that this is what one has to learn: how to see that love in other person. ocean. If we are lost in that ocean then we will have no problems, no questions. Somehow we are here already in love Everything will be our own and we can because of Sahaj happening. We all love and manage everything without any argument, we enjoy love It shows on our faces, that we without any questioning. That is what is are love, in our characters and so easily being Sahaj. available.

This is separate. what it is...and joy. I don't think the subject was too subtle for I can go on talking on love, but to feel it within yourself is the biggest thing. Like water, if you are thirsty we can give you water but you people. You all have reached a certajn amount of understanding of that love. I hope it grows and you will grow into it, all of you, and enjoy it. we cannot drink. You have to drink water and May god bless you The Most Dynamic Power Of Love SHRI KRISHNA PUJA Mumbai 28.08.1973 Pravachan of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi love are weak. But the most dynamic power in this world is that of love, is the most aggresive power is that of love. Even when we suffer in love it is out of our strength that we suffer and not out of our weakness. For example there was a teacher in China who by the Divine For example if I know only my head that is not sufficient, ifI know only my neck that is not sufficient, ifI know only my leg that is not sufficient. But the more I know about myself the more dynamic I will be, the more expansive 1 will be. And all the great that existed or all Lused to teach the cocks how to fight, and the the people who were called as great, are great king of that place took his cocks to that teacher and told him that you please teach them how because they live in many human beings. I feel that warmth in the atmosphere and you are to figlit. After one month when the king went feeling because you know they are not foreigners, they are your brothers and sisters. There are so many stories in Puranas like this that I will not name it but once two brothers met in a jungle, but they thought that they were enemies and they wanted to fight with each other and when they came to blows, to take those cocks with him, he was surprised that the cocks were just standing undisturbed. He told the teacher, "what have you done to my cocks? They are not at all aggressive, they are not doing anything! How are they going to fight it out?" There is going to be a race, there is going to be an exhibition of their they couldn't hit each other. They took out strength and what are we going to do about it? He said you just take them. He took those their arrows. The arrows won't work. They were quite surprised at this and when they asked each other "who is your mother? They found out the mother was the same, and then they realised that they were not foreigners, neither enemies but they were made of the same fiber! What sweetness, what beauty that knowledge had given them! And what security two cocks with him and put them in the arena where there were other cocks who had come to fight. These two cocks were very nicely standing. All the other cocks started coxing and törturing. They were just standing and looking at them. All the other cocks were surprised at their behaviour and thought they of understanding that everywhere in the whole were very powerful and they all fled away. The love that I am talking about, the Divine Love makes you not only strong but dynamic. It is the greatest luminous power that we can think of! Only when love is surrounded by world we have brothers and sisters who are on their inner being, on their divine and how we are bound together with that lovel! I talk of love pepole think that I am trying to make you weaklings, because people think those who Issue: 9 & 10 The Divine Cool Breeze you are not to keep mum about it. All the wrong ideas about love, all the falsehood about love has to be given up. One must know that it is the dynamic power and it won't allow you to sit comfortably with your self enjoying with peace and the bliss when the rest of the world is not enjoying that and is placed into the hands of the evil geniuses who have come in this world to destroy and to bring the satanic realnm on this earth. Now the days are gone when gross and is lost in the gross, it looks as if it is weak and under chase. The time it is released, the dynamic power of love can transcend all the evil powers of the world. When people get their Realisation, automatically the ego drops out, to a great extent, I should say, because you say that the vibrations are passing. You don't say that you are giving. Because of the dropping of the ego, sometimes it happens that you feel that whatever you wanted to have you have got it the people had to suffer. Christ suffered for us. Of course Christ never suffered because and better not talk about it. When there you is any opposition from any where you shun it and sit away from it. You don't want to save he never suiffered. He never wept. He was like those cocks, a very powerful personality, but today is the day to brighten up your understanding about your own strength that is there. Those who are gross should worry about their insecurity and their problems and their organisations but not for the people who are realised. I have told you many a times and today you also remarked that you should know that position from negative opposition whether it is by speech or even by evil methods. You run away from that thinking that Oh God! how are they going to face it? On the contrary a person who is negative, who has got hatred, becomes talkative, that he talks, talks and talks big. He thinks he is above everybody else, hé that can befool all the world. He takes the you are never alone when you are realised. responsibility on himself. They start a big There have þeen many people who have been Ashram or some big place where he sits down with all his ignorance and starts spreading his knowledge, so called, to people. By his methods people get interest and they all go and fall at his feet. While the realised sits at home quitely wondering what are these fools doing? But it is not now for the realised to sit down and to wonder and laugh at them. Foolishness of the people who are not yet realised before even you were born, who exist, who are anxious to help you at every moment. In our Shastras we call them Chiranjeevas, you know that. They are people who are Niranjanas. As we said about Bhairva and Hanumana, all these people exist and they are waiting just for a call from you. Once we went to the market and there was a problem about something and I had somebody with me, a disciple, who was also with me, I just realised not even to take pity on them but to come out. Come out with the sword of love to win the whole world; which is very very wanted to see what is his reaction. He tried to argue out with the person telling about essential. If the creation has to be saved then Issue: 9 & 10 The Divine Cool Breeze or not. In that, you love that person, you don't something. So he told me, 'Mataji lets go now. Then we came out of the shop. I said, hate. Only talking sweetly is not the idea of op love. No, a mother sometimes even scolds the child, does not mean that she does not going to what you are about it ? He said 1 have love. If it is necessary, you have to tell the already told Hanumana to look after that man, person that it is negative. Of course, if there is a realised person, he won't mind the correction because he wants the correction, he knows that there is a defect The instrument and the work was done. It is gross but it happens. When they say you can leave it to anyone of them and they will have to gillie teo it because it is you who are on the stage and * has to be corrected but a person who doesn't not they. They are the background people. there are the playbacks. But you must open understand you have to force your love on that person. You can force that love, you know that, sitting down here. Many people have tried putting love around certain people who are trying to be mischievious and they have been able to achieve great results. Those people have turned back and come back. Only by your mouth otherwise if they start thinking what will people say? They are going to help you in every way but how far are you standing on your security? How far are you standing on your property, on your understanding of yourself putting your hand and putting your attention on that person and moving the hand like this, the love encircles and the person comes up. It is a great war going on, you are not aware of it. Some of you are, some of you are definitely aware of it because they have had There is no doubt that there is negativity and experience of fighting it out. It is a big war on, now specially when ten Rakshasas have taken their avtaras and for you to be so feeble! You positivity, nothing in between. There is no compromise between the two, either it is light and darkness or it is positive and negative, are still small children, no doubt, because you definitely there are two things that are fighting got your Realisation only a few days back but if you want you can grow very fast, vou can grow into big-big giants. All of you can grow, only thing you have to decide that you have to grow within. There are so many things that you only have discovered by which a person grows. I can give you food but you have to grow yourself. Whenever you see the negativity you have to stand up and say that this is negativity and nothing else whether you like it Only thing, your will, that's the trouble with the whole joke, that your will is respected, your will is throughout respected. If you have the will to be adjoin that love, you can. The other day I met a psychiatrist. He was catching his super ego very much. I said, what's wrong with you? He said my child- hood. In my childhood, I couldn't get much life, love. I said now I am here, come in my Issue: 9 & 10 The Divine Cool Breeze take the love. He said I want to flow my love you can do to someone. You have seen what Mother, I want to open out myself completely without any fear. I said you just start it. Don't worry what people are going to misunder- stand, what people are going to say. Its noth- ing important what people are going to say. For love, the satisfaction is only love that you love another person, you just flow your love as said and you will see it will work out. Just decide that I am going to love, and once you decide that, the whole Heavens, the whole negativity does to people! You have now known what is negativity, you have seen how people suffer with it! And here, they are also anxious to be loved you will be surprised to know that if you really love them, they them- selves come to Me and say give us that, give me salvation Mother! They come to me only for that sometimes with you that I should give them salvation and if I promise that, they take the birth again but there are Rakshasas, there are Rakashasas. As I told you the other day the Kalyuga has laid a beautiful stage and a very wonderful drama has to be played, in power of the Heaven will fall at your feet. You believe me in this. If you see otherwise, I am an ordinary housewife. Some poeple always say, "Mataji how can we be like you? Why not? I am just like you. I have the same prob- lems as you have, but only thing I know that I am nothing but embodiment of that love that is Divine and I can't exist without it. Every moment of my life, let the love flow, let the love flow; every wave of my mind conveys that love and that makes you completely pow- erful. If you read, I was reading Devi Mahatamaya, in that they talk about a which Ravana has to love Sita as a Mother, the Kansa has to fall at the feet of Radha. Perhaps you do not know that Krishna wanted to kill Kansa at that time. He was his uncle, you see the feeling came in him of his mother, that after all he is my brother. So he asked Radha and Radha killed him, the Radha who loved the whole world at that time. She is the embodiment of love and she killed Kansa be- cause it was the will. When you are playing in the hands of the God and if He wants to kill Rakshasa who faced Primordial Mother, the Divine Mother and he laughed at her, "You somebody, it has to be slain. But first of all you have to be in the hands of God com- woman, what can you do to me, you are a pletely. It is his love only which kills this body and when the songs of their strength and vic- tory are sung, you have seen it, how all my Chakaras start working and vibrate! Because of strength! All those victorious days are still lingering on and it is going to work through you. But what about your poor instrument which is moving little slowly? woman!' What can you do to me? And She smiled at him and said 'Alright, come along, let us fight. And with one stroke She cut his throat! Very clearly that shows that positivity can cut the throat of negativity. There is no Hinsa in that, you must remember the differ- ence between the two. If negativity is cut and positivity brought out, that is the greatest ahimsa Issue: 9 & 10 10 The Divine Cool Breeze carry the channel, that force of love. It should not be like you have to be egoistic you cannot The time, when love has to rule, the Satyayuga if it has to come it is going to be through your efforts now.

Even if you think that it may do some bad things according to this modern sciences of this world, ultimately it is going to be alright. Why that Jarasandh was to be killed? Why that Kansa was to be killed? Why Ravana was to be killed? Of course killing these nations and all these differences are created. It looks sometimes how, how can it be? But now the days are gone of Gokul. I was thinking of it and all the time when Krishna used to play his flute and he tried Sahaja Yoga on the Gopis and Gopas. Oh! He tried, and tried and tried in different lives. Nothing worked doesn't help much, that I have realised. All those who were killed are back again in their saddles. But still you don't fight those horrible people, you just fight yourself out. You just watch yourself. Where are you? What are you doing? Are you on the Divine or on the gross? Just think about it every moment, every moment you are in mediation. Just think of this moment and the dynamism of that moment. and now it is going to click like a spark. The chain reaction will start, but we have to have strong machines to carry out, otherwise, the fuse will be off. Only the strength that is in you is to be felt by your attention. That's the only thing you have to do, is to feel you patience and give up all that is falsehood. All that is falsehood, you see within yourself and you will know what is falsehood and just drop it.

Let us now go to the state which is clearly and though Mr.. says that I can do everything, I can do everything but not to make you do something. Your Will will be respected throughout. Every other thing can be looked beyond verge, beyond thoughts, into the realm of Thoughtless Awareness where the Divine is pouring its blessings. These people have decided today to have a puja and you know what happens to after accept for one that you should be perfect machine, a perfect channel, a perfect flute. For My role to play that tune of your love, it is for you to clear out all your seven holes. It is for you to clear out your hollowness and to be complete within yourself and He knows His job. He is the Artist but you are the instruments and the harmonious music from a Me when you do My Puja! So with all those problems that will be facing later, I would like all of you to be attentive about the puja and to take full advantage of that. With this Puja you get the Mother's protection to begin with, and my Chakra's, when they start moving, they give you special powers of love and bless all your Chakras and fill them up completely. So, I would like you, though some few people are coming to do this all of you should feel that you are all doing it, and you can feel it that way with oneness and the blessings of my being will flow to you automatically. so many souls can fill the ears of these evil people and can penetrate into their heart and put love into them and may be that they themselves will give up their evil ways and fall at the feet of love. Krishna is to be born within you today.

We have to be in You will start moving with the force of achetna, the unconscious is going to work it out. It is meditation. Either you are inside the house or going to take you there where it wants you to go. You keep to Thoughtless Awareness all outside the house. You cannot be inside the house and then say that now I am outside the house or when you are outside the house you cannot say I am inside the house. In the same way you are moving in three dimensions of your life, emotional, physical and mental being. the time. Try to keep to Thoughtless Awareness as much as you can. When you are in thought less awareness you must know that you are in the kingdom of God and his people, his arrangements, his consciousness is going to You are not inside yourself. But when you are inside, that you are in Thoughtless Awareness, then not only you are there but you are every where. Because that is the place, that is the look after you. Even when you are giving vibrations to other people, I have noticed that you are not in Thoughtless Awareness. If you eive vibrations in Thoughtless Awareness you point where you are really in the universe. will not catch because all these entities that From there you are in contact with the enter into you, all these material problems that Principal, with the Shakti, with the Power that permeats into every particle that is matter, into every thought that is emotion, into every planning and thinking of the whole world. You come into you, come when you are in those three dimensions. Through Sahaja Yoga you have opened your gate of your own being. You have entered into your own kingdom but you do not keep there, you come out of it and again you go back and settle down. That's a fact. You should not feel so dissapointed about it, so frustrated. You know people have worked for thousands of years and they could not separate themselves from themselves. Only you people, Sahaja Yogis who are made after the pattern of Shri Ganesh himself are so powerful that they can give awakening and realisation to other people. Even if you are caught up, you have permeate into all the elements that are created on this beautiful earth, you permeate into earth, you permeate into Aakasha, into Teja, into sound. But your movement is very slow. When you say I am meditating that means you are moving in permeation with the universal being, but you are not moving yourself. You are just unloading yourself to be free from the weight of things that do not allow you to move. When you are is meditation you must allow yourself be in thoughtless awareness. There the unconscious itself, the achetna itself will take The Divine Cool Breeze Issue: 9 & 10 13 seen you have powers. Even if you feel that the vibrations are not coming, you know you absolutely individual. So whether it is your son brother, have powers. You can give realisation to others. In your presence people get realisation. But you have to be that power completely. Supposing there is something wrong with your car but as long as it is moving it's alright. You have to repair it, you have to repair all the sister, wife, friend. You must remember that you are not responsible for their ascendance. You cannot help them for their ascendence. Only Mother's grace and their own desire, their own effort to give up all the things three dimensional will help them. So whenever a times on our moodes which we have caused thought comes like that you must know that ourselves by our foolishness, by our lust, by you have not attained the Thoughtless our greed, by so many false identification we carry with ourselves. We must have a complete Awareness in its full extent and that is how you have problems which are three dimensional. Sometimes a Sahaja yogi will find attention towards our weaknessesses and not towards our achievements. If we know what an emotion will come into his mind. It will be are our weaknesses it's better that we can an emotion of dejection or frustration and he really swim across better. Supposing on a ship will be disgusted with himself or with others. there is a hole and the water is coming in Both things are just the same. I have seen some Sahaja Yogis getting very disgusted with others. There should be no disgust that is lasting. Of- course for a short time you might feel disgust. Its alright, It is a part of feelings or you might feel disgusted with yourself, may be a part of feelings, but if you go on hankering on to it or if you go on clinging to it, that means you are conditioning yourself. That means you are not in Thoughless Awareness, that means that you are in your past. You are through that hole. The attention of all the the crew of all the staff and the captain itself wvill be on that hole from where the water is coming in and nowhere else. In the same way we must be on the watchout. There are so many pit falls for a Sahaja Yogi, I have seen it. Of course even the past is over, even the past can be overcome. In the present also there are many shadows of the past working For example when you are sitting in group you are involved with each other. Those who are making your past a solid mass on your head. In the present everything is sleeping, everything is sleeping that is not eternal. In he present in the eternal state, the rest all drops out. It's like a moving river which doesn't stop anywhere, but the moving river is eternal, the rest of the involved with each other, by any relationship, whatsoever, must know that this kind of involvement is not going to help them to attain their individual ascent. Everybody is acending individually though you are collectively contacted with each other and in things are all changing. If you are on the Etermal communication. But the ascender is individual, The Divine Cool Breeze 14 Issue: 9 & 10 Meditaion is the most Sahaja method. The Principle, all that is not eternal changes and drops out, dissolves and becomes non- we have prayers and we have also Puja Prayers are also to be said in your heart with the feeling of complete surrendering and asking for the eternal. It will be granted. Just ask for that and the rest will take place because they existent. We have to understand our own dignity, our own essence. The first and foremost thing is that all the Sahaja Yogis are the chosen ones go step by step. All the Sahaja Yogis have a problem and they have problems because of their past, because of their future aspirations. Now, when you have problems, in Sahaja Yoga They are the people whom God has chosen, in this eity of Delhi there are thousands and thousands of people. All over the world there are so many people that you are suffering from over population. But in Sahaja Yoga there are very very few people and when you are chosen the first, you must also realise that you have learnt how to overcome them. There are so many methods other than meditation. You know then very well, that you must know what is the chakra, where the kundalini is. Now, if the kundalini has been stopped by a certain chakra which is not working, you shouldn't get frustrated about it, Supposing your instrument or your car has stopped on the way, what is the use of getting frustrated with you are the foundations, you are the stones that are to be laid down and have to be strong, have to be forebearing and that's why it is necessary that all of you who are now few, who are the first lamps that are going to it? You have to learn the mechanism You have enlighten other lamps in the world, you have to enjoy the strength of Eternity, the strength of Divine Love, the strength of this Universal to be a good technician and then you can manage it very well. So, all the techniques of Sahaja Yoga must be learned and mastered. Being that you are, This is what meditaion is. This you can only do by giving it to others and learning from correcting them and correcting yourself There is nothing to be frustrated. That's the work, if you get frustrated and unhappy with yourself then there is going to be a problem. You have to laugh at yourself and laugh at your mechanism that is out of gear. When you start identifying yourself even So when Sahaja Yogis ask me, what should we, we do? You be in Thoughtless Awareness, that's all. Don't do anything at that time, not that you are moving towards the good or that the unconscious is taking charge of you.

So, the soil of the raw pot also is mixed up, but your attention can be with the kheer, with the milk and can You keep me as you like.

Even sometimes you might feel,' I should manner.

If reach a certain place.'I must have this bhajan done, I must get these things done, and it's not done sometimes. Sometimes by mistake something as you want is not done.

You are here to communicate the Desire of God to the attention is removed, how to remove, that's the point. That is the first thing. Once you say how to remove means you have created the three dimensional involvement. You are not to remove. It is there. If your attention is outside then I would have said 'No, your attention has to go inside, it has not gone'. But it is there you are sitting there. I am sitting here but my attention is outside. I would just feel the whole world and at this stage if you start having your own desires and ideas about yourself then when will you become the Desire of God? This I'ness has to go away. That is what meditation is; where you are no more 'I' myself where I am. That's all. Some have felt Issue: 9 & 10 16 The Divine Cool Breeze balance, with your Puja then only it helps better. That means when you are doing Puja also receive it. Be in Thoughtless Awareness when you are doing Puja. Completely concentrate in receiving, but while Puja people are talking I have seen that they are moving about. I don't know how to explain it! That's the time something is oozing out-the nectar, and you just receive it at that time with full devotion. It is oozing out. If you feel the vibrations of my chakras at the time, you will it, some have acheived it. You know among yourselves there are some who have gone very high. The other method we employ is of Puja. I found that works very well with human beings, Puja, because it satisfies lots of demands of the past habit, that you feel that you are doing something about it. Then you start giving whatever you think the God has given you the blessings and the Rishis and Munis have found out, they are very clever people, they have found out how to please the deity, how to please the Mother So, they have told you as realise that even the minute small little weals in my body out pour, different space a different speed, a different dimension and I really don't know how to explain it but, you see, it creates they have told you even in this lifetime of mine, how to please her. They say she is Stutipriya that means She likes praises. They thought that. But when you praise someone from the heart that means you are accepting him and that is the time the chakras start creating a force by which you are thrown, you are the melody. You have to receive it and it is the melody, individually. Suitable for every individual and when you when you receive it brings in you, that state is infinity. So, at the time of Puja you must know that all your attention, should be in reception. triggered into that realm of God, So, these Puja methods and prayer methods and the mantra methods have been devised and found Today is a very great day It's a new year. Within two years from today, Satyayuga is going to start. It's a great day for many things that nine days are celebrated out by great thinkers of Sahaja Yoga, the great masters of Sahaja Yoga and it is the effort or vou can say the effortless effort of the Sahaja Yogis that makes my body vibrate, extract the essence from my body or I should say, makes me infinite, relelive itself through this fine effort and it works, it clicks, I have seen after this for the ascent of Mother. It is with date or I should say the calander was started it by my forefathers and they perceived it that this is the day when the Mother started it works very well, But you know that after Puja I get little tired because if you cannot receive that foree, I want to sleep and get rid of that additional vibrations into sushupti by entering into the infinite state.

It is hard to express in detail the More than six hours were spent visiting Paris, including some shopping and the crossing of the city of Paris, but it all seemed to us very richness of the teachings with which our Guru blessed us. short How to describe such a divine arrival - the extraordinary column of Paramchaitanya, the flowers and the yogis and the intense looks Shri Mataji was beyond fatigue. We felt like we were in a puja and there was a downpour of vibrations and a freshness akin between her devotees and the ultimate aim of their devotion, Shri Adi Shakti! to a fresh morning rain shower. All the souls, and the little reservoir of That same evening, Shri Mataji love that we were, began to flow towards Her, the inexhaustible source of love. expressed her wish to see some of the Paris yogis and so we were twenty or so blessed souls who spet an eternal ten minutes in Her And yes, our Mother arrived at the presence, when She then announced that we Roissy Airport in Paris with all Her powers of the Adi Shakti, Her Resplendent Majestry, full of tenderness, of force and of gravity which pulled in everybody's attention.

He is very waving Her off to India. sensitive to the vibrations. I said to him, It is true that we, the French Sahajis, "You know the lady you have been meditating on for the past few weeks? Well, She's arriving at the airport tonight. "While we were standing at the airport arrivals, he said to me, "I think that plane landed a few minutes early. "He was right. Shri Mataji had arrived. We saw Her from the windaw and She waved lovingly at all the yogis, making sure that She waved to the yogis at each window as She passecd. It felt like old times again with all the yogis live in a spiritually backward and difficult country. With no great powers, we wished only to be able to receive our Mother, carry Her bags, offer Her food, wash her Lotus Feet, see Her resting comfortably and to help take away all those problems which come from us. And it is also true that in these simple acts, we were not the best. Which desire was Mother speaking about?

I told the trainees that I had to go out for fifteen minutes and that they should contimue with Majid Golpour the exercises. I raced to the Hilton, which was only five minutes away, and, as I walked in, Shri Mataji was in the reception hall and, apart from Majid and Alganesh, I had just finished a training course at my company's office in Paris and was wondering what to do with the evening, when I received a call from a Sahaja Yogi I was the only yogi. Shri Mataji gave me a big smile and offered namaste and I felt so brother saying that Shri Mataji was arriving and would be staying at the Hilton Hotel.

The meaning of this trip was to tell us to take up again good Sahaj principles that many of us unfortunately fail to actualize This means it is important to meditate deeply and truly, everyone. At Her hotel near the airport, Shri Mataji found it very uncomfortable and noticed that everything in the suite was placed too low. She said that She will show people what is every day. It is essential for us to have full faith in Shri Mataji. The deities express themselves through comfort by bringing it to France. She said She will find land, buy it and build a place where people can eat and stay, enjoying comfort in Her. After such a trip, it is impossible to imagine the real sense of the word. the Divine differently All the dimensions of She pointed out how important it is to have the Divine are meeting inside Her.

It means giving problems to solve, SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI The quote above is one of many cited by Gregoire de Kalbermatten in his new book, The Third Advent, published this year. As we turn our attention to the Guru Principle, the simple wisdom of these works stands out like a beacon. One might add: deceptively simple, for at their heart lies one of the deepest underlying principles defining the relationship between a mother and her children, guru and disciple or, indeed, God and Man, that of compassion. The cub hesitates, then bounds forward, perhaps unaware that he is alone in the chase. But the quarry is too quick, disappearing into the thick of the herd. The cub turns to his mother, but she's not in sight. Perhaps he goes hungry, but he is left in no doubt as to what he must do in order to survive. The best leaders are the ones who can awaken the finest qualities and activate the highest powers in those who look to them for guidance. We see in our Holy Mother, Leader of all Leaders and Guru of all Gurus, the most shining and perfect example of this. Rarely in any of Her talks does She seek to solve our problems outright, but instead She clarifies the problems for us that we have to solve and so makes us aware of just how well equiped we are, saying in effect, Now you see the problems. Before you couldl not. Now at least you know what yon have to do. However, Shri Matai has solved one problem for us that we could not have done ourselves: the Raising Of The Kundalini. In so doing, She has taken our eyes, which were closed and in darkness and opened them to the light, so that She is able to say: This is what you all are Here are the roots of the tree Often declaring that She is not a Guru, but a Mother, Shri Mataji refers to the traditional harsh disciplines enforced by gurus who might, for example, hang disciples upside down in a well. Yet we see, through Her motherhood, that She exemplifies the very best type of guru, a loving and benevolent teacher. A good teacher will not need to mete out discipline if the pupil can be provided with experience that has discipline automatically built into it. For example, the best way to teach a language is to immerse the pupil in an environment where only that language is spoken. The need to communicate increases to the point where the learner simply must acquire the means and does. In nature, the lion cub follows the mother each day, observing as she selects the unwary prey momentarily detached from the herd. If she is successful he is allowed to share in the kill. Then one day, she stands back. These are the powers that you have Here is where the problem lies Here is how to attack them at their roots Here is how to grow into and maintain your 45. The Divine Cool Breeze Issue: 9 & 10 teaching. It is about getting things done. No good leader, tries to solve every crises alone or do everything himself Of a poor leader, it is often said, "He doesn't know how to del- awareness every moment and Here, in your heart, you will find Me. Giving problems to solve can work on more than one level. It can mean egate." But Shri Mataji, while working cease- lessly Herself, is undoubtedly the Delegator of all Delegators, entrusting the task of en mass Self Realization, with all its logistical challenges, to the "masse" itself.. Sahaja Yogis of the identifying existing problems, then providing the means to solve them and saying, "Go to it" It can also mean creating problems artificially to use as growth exercises or to build confidence. world. Yet Shri Mataji never desires us to suffer needlessly, nor as gurus must we ever allow ourselves, nor others, to suffer for the sake of it or out of guilt. The key element is benevolence, expressed through compassion. Compassion, as embodied by the Divine, must involve setting out problems when necessary Shri Mataji has said that this is not Her conscious doing, but that it is the compassion itself which act through the Paramchaitanya. It blesses us by providing obstacles for us to overcome. Otherwise how would we grow? How would we ever know what powers we Sahaja Yogis are indeed a rare and special case. The fact is that we need not break our heads to solve problems because the kundalini gives us clear access to an infinite number of solutions built within us. The real challenge is in recognizing and heeding them, but doing so always brings reward. It happens on occasion that Shaja Yogis, including leaders, go to Shri Mataji with a question and might receive only an enigmatic response or may even fail to get an opportunity to ask the question at all. Yet somehow within a very short time they find the answer revealing itself, either from inside have? At the same time, She is a Mother whose love is limitless and, in Her generosity, She has intervened countless times, more than or through some event which occurs spontaneously most of us may ever know, to end our suffering or shield us from needless pain, so much of which She takes on Herself. In our own guru capacity, we often find new people who are naturally full of questions. Even if we know the answers, we might serve them best with the following suggestions, "Why not meditate a little more, then see if you still need to ask the question She has also on many occasions dispensed clear-cut and ready-made solutions to specific problems. But in Her compassion, She will limit that generosity where necessary, in order to ensure that what must be learned next week."

To feel the love I will say one has to Sometimes you feel you've lost it, sometimes you feel you've gained it, but it is there as have a heart, but how can you have a heart? It is not your own doing, it's all there. So it is much as... something already gifted to you, you have it, In the same way the source of your love is that you can feel that love. It's so much eternal. You cannot measure it, it's difficult. joy-giving, peace-giving. But it's beyond all your human expressions and it shows your understanding, your Love has its own qualities and one of the quality is that love understands, Its understanding of love which has no words, understanding is not in words, not in thought, which cannot explain, but by itself you wil but understands within.

That is what once you start feeling, you can feel who is your Guru, whom do you connections, some meanings, but this love which is Divine, cannot be described in words, that's the only reason why you should love you are being taught and persuaded and made to live in a particular manner. All that is think your Guru. Now there's no reason for that. Because love is love. That is how the Guru becomes very important in life. We have people who love their Guru and are very much possible if you get immersed in it It's very gratifying, it is very lovable to see how people love each other and then this love spreads. Love begets love. If somebody has love it just spreads. He need not tell anyone, he need not confess it, but it will spread. And in chaste understanding of their love. In this great opportunity of love that we are, we are here to enjoy each other fully from our heart. That there is this ocean within us.

But the most dynamic power in this world is that of love, is the most aggresive power is that of love. Even when we suffer in love it is out of our strength that we suffer and not out of our weakness. For example there was a teacher in China who by the Divine For example if I know only my head that is not sufficient, ifI know only my neck that is not sufficient, ifI know only my leg that is not sufficient. But the more I know about myself the more dynamic I will be, the more expansive 1 will be. And all the great that existed or all Lused to teach the cocks how to fight, and the the people who were called as great, are great king of that place took his cocks to that teacher and told him that you please teach them how because they live in many human beings. I feel that warmth in the atmosphere and you are to figlit. After one month when the king went feeling because you know they are not foreigners, they are your brothers and sisters. There are so many stories in Puranas like this that I will not name it but once two brothers met in a jungle, but they thought that they were enemies and they wanted to fight with each other and when they came to blows, to take those cocks with him, he was surprised that the cocks were just standing undisturbed. He told the teacher, "what have you done to my cocks? They are not at all aggressive, they are not doing anything! How are they going to fight it out?" There is going to be a race, there is going to be an exhibition of their they couldn't hit each other. They took out strength and what are we going to do about it? He said you just take them. He took those their arrows. The arrows won't work. They were quite surprised at this and when they asked each other "who is your mother? They found out the mother was the same, and then they realised that they were not foreigners, neither enemies but they were made of the same fiber! What sweetness, what beauty that knowledge had given them! And what security two cocks with him and put them in the arena where there were other cocks who had come to fight. These two cocks were very nicely standing. All the other cocks started coxing and törturing. They were just standing and looking at them. All the other cocks were surprised at their behaviour and thought they of understanding that everywhere in the whole were very powerful and they all fled away. The love that I am talking about, the Divine Love makes you not only strong but dynamic. It is the greatest luminous power that we can think of! Only when love is surrounded by world we have brothers and sisters who are on their inner being, on their divine and how we are bound together with that lovel!

All the wrong ideas about love, all the falsehood about love has to be given up. One must know that it is the dynamic power and it won't allow you to sit comfortably with your self enjoying with peace and the bliss when the rest of the world is not enjoying that and is placed into the hands of the evil geniuses who have come in this world to destroy and to bring the satanic realnm on this earth. Now the days are gone when gross and is lost in the gross, it looks as if it is weak and under chase. The time it is released, the dynamic power of love can transcend all the evil powers of the world. When people get their Realisation, automatically the ego drops out, to a great extent, I should say, because you say that the vibrations are passing. You don't say that you are giving. Because of the dropping of the ego, sometimes it happens that you feel that whatever you wanted to have you have got it the people had to suffer. Christ suffered for us. Of course Christ never suffered because and better not talk about it. When there you is any opposition from any where you shun it and sit away from it. You don't want to save he never suiffered. He never wept. He was like those cocks, a very powerful personality, but today is the day to brighten up your understanding about your own strength that is there. Those who are gross should worry about their insecurity and their problems and their organisations but not for the people who are realised. I have told you many a times and today you also remarked that you should know that position from negative opposition whether it is by speech or even by evil methods. You run away from that thinking that Oh God! how are they going to face it? On the contrary a person who is negative, who has got hatred, becomes talkative, that he talks, talks and talks big. He thinks he is above everybody else, hé that can befool all the world. He takes the you are never alone when you are realised. responsibility on himself. They start a big There have þeen many people who have been Ashram or some big place where he sits down with all his ignorance and starts spreading his knowledge, so called, to people. By his methods people get interest and they all go and fall at his feet. While the realised sits at home quitely wondering what are these fools doing? But it is not now for the realised to sit down and to wonder and laugh at them. Foolishness of the people who are not yet realised before even you were born, who exist, who are anxious to help you at every moment. In our Shastras we call them Chiranjeevas, you know that. They are people who are Niranjanas. As we said about Bhairva and Hanumana, all these people exist and they are waiting just for a call from you. Once we went to the market and there was a problem about something and I had somebody with me, a disciple, who was also with me, I just realised not even to take pity on them but to come out. Come out with the sword of love to win the whole world; which is very very wanted to see what is his reaction. He tried to argue out with the person telling about essential.

They are the background people. there are the playbacks. But you must open understand you have to force your love on that person. You can force that love, you know that, sitting down here. Many people have tried putting love around certain people who are trying to be mischievious and they have been able to achieve great results. Those people have turned back and come back. Only by your mouth otherwise if they start thinking what will people say? They are going to help you in every way but how far are you standing on your security? How far are you standing on your property, on your understanding of yourself putting your hand and putting your attention on that person and moving the hand like this, the love encircles and the person comes up. It is a great war going on, you are not aware of it. Some of you are, some of you are definitely aware of it because they have had There is no doubt that there is negativity and experience of fighting it out. It is a big war on, now specially when ten Rakshasas have taken their avtaras and for you to be so feeble! You positivity, nothing in between. There is no compromise between the two, either it is light and darkness or it is positive and negative, are still small children, no doubt, because you definitely there are two things that are fighting got your Realisation only a few days back but if you want you can grow very fast, vou can grow into big-big giants. All of you can grow, only thing you have to decide that you have to grow within. There are so many things that you only have discovered by which a person grows. I can give you food but you have to grow yourself. Whenever you see the negativity you have to stand up and say that this is negativity and nothing else whether you like it Only thing, your will, that's the trouble with the whole joke, that your will is respected, your will is throughout respected. If you have the will to be adjoin that love, you can. The other day I met a psychiatrist. He was catching his super ego very much. I said, what's wrong with you? He said my child- hood. In my childhood, I couldn't get much life, love. I said now I am here, come in my 2004_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-10.txt Issue: 9 & 10 The Divine Cool Breeze take the love. He said I want to flow my love you can do to someone. You have seen what Mother, I want to open out myself completely without any fear. I said you just start it. Don't worry what people are going to misunder- stand, what people are going to say. Its noth- ing important what people are going to say. For love, the satisfaction is only love that you love another person, you just flow your love as said and you will see it will work out. Just decide that I am going to love, and once you decide that, the whole Heavens, the whole negativity does to people! You have now known what is negativity, you have seen how people suffer with it! And here, they are also anxious to be loved you will be surprised to know that if you really love them, they them- selves come to Me and say give us that, give me salvation Mother! They come to me only for that sometimes with you that I should give them salvation and if I promise that, they take the birth again but there are Rakshasas, there are Rakashasas. As I told you the other day the Kalyuga has laid a beautiful stage and a very wonderful drama has to be played, in power of the Heaven will fall at your feet. You believe me in this. If you see otherwise, I am an ordinary housewife. Some poeple always say, "Mataji how can we be like you? Why not? I am just like you. I have the same prob- lems as you have, but only thing I know that I am nothing but embodiment of that love that is Divine and I can't exist without it. Every moment of my life, let the love flow, let the love flow; every wave of my mind conveys that love and that makes you completely pow- erful. If you read, I was reading Devi Mahatamaya, in that they talk about a which Ravana has to love Sita as a Mother, the Kansa has to fall at the feet of Radha. Perhaps you do not know that Krishna wanted to kill Kansa at that time. He was his uncle, you see the feeling came in him of his mother, that after all he is my brother. So he asked Radha and Radha killed him, the Radha who loved the whole world at that time. She is the embodiment of love and she killed Kansa be- cause it was the will. When you are playing in the hands of the God and if He wants to kill Rakshasa who faced Primordial Mother, the Divine Mother and he laughed at her, "You somebody, it has to be slain.

And She smiled at him and said 'Alright, come along, let us fight. And with one stroke She cut his throat! Very clearly that shows that positivity can cut the throat of negativity.

Why that Kansa was to be killed? Why Ravana was to be killed? Of course killing these nations and all these differences are created. It looks sometimes how, how can it be? But now the days are gone of Gokul. I was thinking of it and all the time when Krishna used to play his flute and he tried Sahaja Yoga on the Gopis and Gopas. Oh! He tried, and tried and tried in different lives. Nothing worked doesn't help much, that I have realised. All those who were killed are back again in their saddles. But still you don't fight those horrible people, you just fight yourself out. You just watch yourself. Where are you? What are you doing? Are you on the Divine or on the gross?

For My role to play that tune of your love, it is for you to clear out all your seven holes. It is for you to clear out your hollowness and to be complete within yourself and He knows His job. He is the Artist but you are the instruments and the harmonious music from a Me when you do My Puja! So with all those problems that will be facing later, I would like all of you to be attentive about the puja and to take full advantage of that. With this Puja you get the Mother's protection to begin with, and my Chakra's, when they start moving, they give you special powers of love and bless all your Chakras and fill them up completely. So, I would like you, though some few people are coming to do this all of you should feel that you are all doing it, and you can feel it that way with oneness and the blessings of my being will flow to you automatically. so many souls can fill the ears of these evil people and can penetrate into their heart and put love into them and may be that they themselves will give up their evil ways and fall at the feet of love.

We have to be in You will start moving with the force of achetna, the unconscious is going to work it out. It is meditation. Either you are inside the house or going to take you there where it wants you to go. You keep to Thoughtless Awareness all outside the house. You cannot be inside the house and then say that now I am outside the house or when you are outside the house you cannot say I am inside the house. In the same way you are moving in three dimensions of your life, emotional, physical and mental being. the time. Try to keep to Thoughtless Awareness as much as you can. When you are in thought less awareness you must know that you are in the kingdom of God and his people, his arrangements, his consciousness is going to You are not inside yourself. But when you are inside, that you are in Thoughtless Awareness, then not only you are there but you are every where. Because that is the place, that is the look after you. Even when you are giving vibrations to other people, I have noticed that you are not in Thoughtless Awareness. If you eive vibrations in Thoughtless Awareness you point where you are really in the universe. will not catch because all these entities that From there you are in contact with the enter into you, all these material problems that Principal, with the Shakti, with the Power that permeats into every particle that is matter, into every thought that is emotion, into every planning and thinking of the whole world. You come into you, come when you are in those three dimensions. Through Sahaja Yoga you have opened your gate of your own being. You have entered into your own kingdom but you do not keep there, you come out of it and again you go back and settle down. That's a fact. You should not feel so dissapointed about it, so frustrated. You know people have worked for thousands of years and they could not separate themselves from themselves. Only you people, Sahaja Yogis who are made after the pattern of Shri Ganesh himself are so powerful that they can give awakening and realisation to other people. Even if you are caught up, you have permeate into all the elements that are created on this beautiful earth, you permeate into earth, you permeate into Aakasha, into Teja, into sound. But your movement is very slow. When you say I am meditating that means you are moving in permeation with the universal being, but you are not moving yourself. You are just unloading yourself to be free from the weight of things that do not allow you to move. When you are is meditation you must allow yourself be in thoughtless awareness. There the unconscious itself, the achetna itself will take 2004_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-14.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Issue: 9 & 10 13 seen you have powers. Even if you feel that the vibrations are not coming, you know you absolutely individual. So whether it is your son brother, have powers. You can give realisation to others. In your presence people get realisation. But you have to be that power completely. Supposing there is something wrong with your car but as long as it is moving it's alright. You have to repair it, you have to repair all the sister, wife, friend. You must remember that you are not responsible for their ascendance. You cannot help them for their ascendence. Only Mother's grace and their own desire, their own effort to give up all the things three dimensional will help them. So whenever a times on our moodes which we have caused thought comes like that you must know that ourselves by our foolishness, by our lust, by you have not attained the Thoughtless our greed, by so many false identification we carry with ourselves. We must have a complete Awareness in its full extent and that is how you have problems which are three dimensional. Sometimes a Sahaja yogi will find attention towards our weaknessesses and not towards our achievements. If we know what an emotion will come into his mind. It will be are our weaknesses it's better that we can an emotion of dejection or frustration and he really swim across better. Supposing on a ship will be disgusted with himself or with others. there is a hole and the water is coming in Both things are just the same. I have seen some Sahaja Yogis getting very disgusted with others. There should be no disgust that is lasting. Of- course for a short time you might feel disgust. Its alright, It is a part of feelings or you might feel disgusted with yourself, may be a part of feelings, but if you go on hankering on to it or if you go on clinging to it, that means you are conditioning yourself. That means you are not in Thoughless Awareness, that means that you are in your past. You are through that hole. The attention of all the the crew of all the staff and the captain itself wvill be on that hole from where the water is coming in and nowhere else. In the same way we must be on the watchout. There are so many pit falls for a Sahaja Yogi, I have seen it. Of course even the past is over, even the past can be overcome. In the present also there are many shadows of the past working For example when you are sitting in group you are involved with each other. Those who are making your past a solid mass on your head. In the present everything is sleeping, everything is sleeping that is not eternal. In he present in the eternal state, the rest all drops out. It's like a moving river which doesn't stop anywhere, but the moving river is eternal, the rest of the involved with each other, by any relationship, whatsoever, must know that this kind of involvement is not going to help them to attain their individual ascent. Everybody is acending individually though you are collectively contacted with each other and in things are all changing. If you are on the Etermal communication. But the ascender is individual, 2004_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-15.txt The Divine Cool Breeze 14 Issue: 9 & 10 Meditaion is the most Sahaja method. The Principle, all that is not eternal changes and drops out, dissolves and becomes non- we have prayers and we have also Puja Prayers are also to be said in your heart with the feeling of complete surrendering and asking for the eternal. It will be granted. Just ask for that and the rest will take place because they existent. We have to understand our own dignity, our own essence. The first and foremost thing is that all the Sahaja Yogis are the chosen ones go step by step. All the Sahaja Yogis have a problem and they have problems because of their past, because of their future aspirations. Now, when you have problems, in Sahaja Yoga They are the people whom God has chosen, in this eity of Delhi there are thousands and thousands of people. All over the world there are so many people that you are suffering from over population. But in Sahaja Yoga there are very very few people and when you are chosen the first, you must also realise that you have learnt how to overcome them. There are so many methods other than meditation. You know then very well, that you must know what is the chakra, where the kundalini is. Now, if the kundalini has been stopped by a certain chakra which is not working, you shouldn't get frustrated about it, Supposing your instrument or your car has stopped on the way, what is the use of getting frustrated with you are the foundations, you are the stones that are to be laid down and have to be strong, have to be forebearing and that's why it is necessary that all of you who are now few, who are the first lamps that are going to it? You have to learn the mechanism You have enlighten other lamps in the world, you have to enjoy the strength of Eternity, the strength of Divine Love, the strength of this Universal to be a good technician and then you can manage it very well. So, all the techniques of Sahaja Yoga must be learned and mastered. Being that you are, This is what meditaion is. This you can only do by giving it to others and learning from correcting them and correcting yourself There is nothing to be frustrated. That's the work, if you get frustrated and unhappy with yourself then there is going to be a problem. You have to laugh at yourself and laugh at your mechanism that is out of gear. When you start identifying yourself even So when Sahaja Yogis ask me, what should we, we do? You be in Thoughtless Awareness, that's all. Don't do anything at that time, not that you are moving towards the good or that the unconscious is taking charge of you. Not only that, but also you are emitting for the first time, the Divine into the Nature, into your surroundings, into other people who are universally connected to you Only thing is that we are used to one thing that is we must do something about it, and that's why we start doing that. with the instrument then you are not there You are not the chakra, you are not the different channels, you are the awareness, you are the power, you are the kundalini.

That is how we have to die and we have to Worrying itself or frustrating yourself, itself is a wrong attitude towards Sahaja. 'Sahaja' in other terminology also means simple. Sahaja be resurrected.

So, the soil of the raw pot also is mixed up, but your attention can be with the kheer, with the milk and can You keep me as you like. That kind of an attitude keeps your attention inside, because drop out all that is the mud of the raw pot. That discrimination is spontaneous.

If reach a certain place.'I must have this bhajan done, I must get these things done, and it's not done sometimes. Sometimes by mistake something as you want is not done.

You are here to communicate the Desire of God to the attention is removed, how to remove, that's the point. That is the first thing. Once you say how to remove means you have created the three dimensional involvement. You are not to remove. It is there. If your attention is outside then I would have said 'No, your attention has to go inside, it has not gone'. But it is there you are sitting there. I am sitting here but my attention is outside. I would just feel the whole world and at this stage if you start having your own desires and ideas about yourself then when will you become the Desire of God? This I'ness has to go away. That is what meditation is; where you are no more 'I' myself where I am. That's all.

That means when you are doing Puja also receive it. Be in Thoughtless Awareness when you are doing Puja. Completely concentrate in receiving, but while Puja people are talking I have seen that they are moving about. I don't know how to explain it! That's the time something is oozing out-the nectar, and you just receive it at that time with full devotion. It is oozing out. If you feel the vibrations of my chakras at the time, you will it, some have acheived it. You know among yourselves there are some who have gone very high. The other method we employ is of Puja. I found that works very well with human beings, Puja, because it satisfies lots of demands of the past habit, that you feel that you are doing something about it. Then you start giving whatever you think the God has given you the blessings and the Rishis and Munis have found out, they are very clever people, they have found out how to please the deity, how to please the Mother So, they have told you as realise that even the minute small little weals in my body out pour, different space a different speed, a different dimension and I really don't know how to explain it but, you see, it creates they have told you even in this lifetime of mine, how to please her. They say she is Stutipriya that means She likes praises. They thought that. But when you praise someone from the heart that means you are accepting him and that is the time the chakras start creating a force by which you are thrown, you are the melody. You have to receive it and it is the melody, individually. Suitable for every individual and when you when you receive it brings in you, that state is infinity. So, at the time of Puja you must know that all your attention, should be in reception. triggered into that realm of God, So, these Puja methods and prayer methods and the mantra methods have been devised and found Today is a very great day It's a new year. Within two years from today, Satyayuga is going to start. It's a great day for many things that nine days are celebrated out by great thinkers of Sahaja Yoga, the great masters of Sahaja Yoga and it is the effort or vou can say the effortless effort of the Sahaja Yogis that makes my body vibrate, extract the essence from my body or I should say, makes me infinite, relelive itself through this fine effort and it works, it clicks, I have seen after this for the ascent of Mother. It is with date or I should say the calander was started it by my forefathers and they perceived it that this is the day when the Mother started it works very well, But you know that after Puja I get little tired because if you cannot receive that foree, I want to sleep and get rid of that additional vibrations into sushupti by entering into the infinite state. If you could receive whatever I am emitting, in creating, and this is the day She created the Ganesha to begin with in the utpatti stage She started a work this day And that's why we put this date as the first date, because the time started from this date long time back, and that's why this date is very important and if 2004_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-18.txt The Divine Cool Breeze Issue: 9 & 10 17 get this, otherwise they will be left out of you cross this state then you are beyond time.

But the most important the greatest advancement is done by giving, The universal through your universal being. You all must dedicate your life to Sahaja yoga and give more and more. Among us there are some people who have given a lot and by that they have acheived a lot. You have to give, talk about it, spread it and bring more people to as you all are blessed here.

It means giving problems to solve, SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI The quote above is one of many cited by Gregoire de Kalbermatten in his new book, The Third Advent, published this year. As we turn our attention to the Guru Principle, the simple wisdom of these works stands out like a beacon. One might add: deceptively simple, for at their heart lies one of the deepest underlying principles defining the relationship between a mother and her children, guru and disciple or, indeed, God and Man, that of compassion. The cub hesitates, then bounds forward, perhaps unaware that he is alone in the chase. But the quarry is too quick, disappearing into the thick of the herd. The cub turns to his mother, but she's not in sight. Perhaps he goes hungry, but he is left in no doubt as to what he must do in order to survive. The best leaders are the ones who can awaken the finest qualities and activate the highest powers in those who look to them for guidance. We see in our Holy Mother, Leader of all Leaders and Guru of all Gurus, the most shining and perfect example of this. Rarely in any of Her talks does She seek to solve our problems outright, but instead She clarifies the problems for us that we have to solve and so makes us aware of just how well equiped we are, saying in effect, Now you see the problems. Before you couldl not. Now at least you know what yon have to do. However, Shri Matai has solved one problem for us that we could not have done ourselves: the Raising Of The Kundalini. In so doing, She has taken our eyes, which were closed and in darkness and opened them to the light, so that She is able to say: This is what you all are Here are the roots of the tree Often declaring that She is not a Guru, but a Mother, Shri Mataji refers to the traditional harsh disciplines enforced by gurus who might, for example, hang disciples upside down in a well. Yet we see, through Her motherhood, that She exemplifies the very best type of guru, a loving and benevolent teacher. A good teacher will not need to mete out discipline if the pupil can be provided with experience that has discipline automatically built into it. For example, the best way to teach a language is to immerse the pupil in an environment where only that language is spoken. The need to communicate increases to the point where the learner simply must acquire the means and does. In nature, the lion cub follows the mother each day, observing as she selects the unwary prey momentarily detached from the herd. If she is successful he is allowed to share in the kill. Then one day, she stands back. These are the powers that you have Here is where the problem lies Here is how to attack them at their roots Here is how to grow into and maintain your 2004_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-46.txt 45.

Giving problems to solve can work on more than one level. It can mean egate." But Shri Mataji, while working cease- lessly Herself, is undoubtedly the Delegator of all Delegators, entrusting the task of en mass Self Realization, with all its logistical challenges, to the "masse" itself.. Sahaja Yogis of the identifying existing problems, then providing the means to solve them and saying, "Go to it" It can also mean creating problems artificially to use as growth exercises or to build confidence. world. Yet Shri Mataji never desires us to suffer needlessly, nor as gurus must we ever allow ourselves, nor others, to suffer for the sake of it or out of guilt. The key element is benevolence, expressed through compassion. Compassion, as embodied by the Divine, must involve setting out problems when necessary Shri Mataji has said that this is not Her conscious doing, but that it is the compassion itself which act through the Paramchaitanya. It blesses us by providing obstacles for us to overcome. Otherwise how would we grow? How would we ever know what powers we Sahaja Yogis are indeed a rare and special case. The fact is that we need not break our heads to solve problems because the kundalini gives us clear access to an infinite number of solutions built within us. The real challenge is in recognizing and heeding them, but doing so always brings reward. It happens on occasion that Shaja Yogis, including leaders, go to Shri Mataji with a question and might receive only an enigmatic response or may even fail to get an opportunity to ask the question at all. Yet somehow within a very short time they find the answer revealing itself, either from inside have? At the same time, She is a Mother whose love is limitless and, in Her generosity, She has intervened countless times, more than or through some event which occurs spontaneously most of us may ever know, to end our suffering or shield us from needless pain, so much of which She takes on Herself. In our own guru capacity, we often find new people who are naturally full of questions. Even if we know the answers, we might serve them best with the following suggestions, "Why not meditate a little more, then see if you still need to ask the question She has also on many occasions dispensed clear-cut and ready-made solutions to specific problems. But in Her compassion, She will limit that generosity where necessary, in order to ensure that what must be learned next week."
