 "ESTABLISHING THE GURU PRINCIPLE" ADI GURU PUJA Nightingale Lane, London, July 4, 1982 We all have assembled here to is not looked after or maintained, that is understand the ways and methods of destroyed. If you do not pay attention, say, establishing our principle of a Master. to these beautiful plants here they will be Krita Yuga means the time when you have destroyed. Even matter which is not to do something; Krita: when it is done. attended to is destroyed. So first of all we So you are the channels of that way, doing have to know that we must be attentive and the work of God. You are the channels of alert that if we do not maintain ourselves God Almighty and His Power. On one side you have to carry the maintenance is not for maintenance sake. dignity, the glory and the assumption that It is for stopping the destruction of your you are a Guru, on the other side you have Guru Principle. When we are negligent or to be compietely surrendered to your God lazy about it we are responsible for Almighty. All your dignity, your authority, destroying our Guru Principle. So the comes from Him. And the third thing is attention that we have is to be given to the that the way He has created this universe maintenance of this Guru Principle. and you in a mood of play, you have to see His play. So a kind of mood that is maintain themselves and maintain others. cheerfulness should be really bubbling In the beginning when the Gurus tried to through you. So far the idea of Guru was that such put very very strong rules and regulations. a person never laughs, never smiles, If you read Bible in the Levi Chapter you always in a temper. That was alright for will find all the Shariats (rules) that are Gurus who did not have to have any described which they are following now in contact with the public but hang Riyadh, or in the Arabic countries. To themselves with a string somewhere in the maintain that principle within yourself it's Himalayas. But here we are facing the written in such strong language like: such entire universe which has to receive the a person who does not do this should be bubbling streams of your love. But that killed to death, such a person does does not mean that you have to be anything wrong of this kind should be killed frivolous, because you cannot be. The by stonning. That was at the very divine play is not frivolous, it is joyful. And beginning, so the people now at that stage the joy does not have that duality. So, to get to the establishment of This was not meant in any way to insult or your Guru Principle first we should know to harm, or to take away the freedom of how it is destroyed. As it is, anything that human beings. But it was meant for people we will be destroyed. Because The Gurus have the capacity to establish this maintenance principle they of evolution required that kind of a fear.

 The Divine Cool Bireeze May- June, 2005 to give a great idea of the importance of placed under the most fortunate the principle of Guru within themselves. At circumstances that you are realised souls that stage they used the frightening before your Guru Tatwa is fully established. methods I should say, horribly dangerous You have all the power that any Guru can type. And that time people obeyed also. Then another evolutionary state took Guru Tatwa. Specially you are under the place where a stage started, people complete blanket of the clouds of your thought they must become austere and Mother's love. start maintaining themselves by tremendous austerity, so it was self to allow you to destroy your Guru Principle. projected, it was not projected towards the As I told you that Guru Principle is a very others, but projected towards themselves. sensitive thing and is destroyed if We can say that the first wave yourself do not try to maintain it. First of all started when the Guru, the Primordial the destruction starts from the very source Guru, said that if you don't do this then you of our being. I mean to say that our being will be killed. The second stage was when is created by five elements, and the five the disciples accepted this within elements have a capacity all the time to themselves and started telling themselves get destroyed. Any one of these elements that if we do not do it we will kill ourselves. if they are not looked after, get destroyed. Austerity started on the basis of wisdom That is the built-in capacity of the elements and not on obstinacy. But then it became or of the matter as you can say. So to even fanaticism. So it went to one maintain them is important. extreme. It started with the idea of maintenance. But maintenance itself you become a Guru you need not maintain became impossible or perhaps they anything, it is maintained by itself. It is not. thought they are not being able to Agreed that the Spirit definitely enhanced maintain, they got confused and to them the beauty and the health of this element. rules and regulations became more But at the human level there is always a important than maintenance itself. Thus greater force that is trying to destroy it. So you find they destroyed themselves. The wisdom or the essence of Guru there is chance of this destruction working Tatwa is a balance. Like when you itout. maintain a plant, if you do not give it water it will die, if you give it too much water it needed?" And this is the important will die. So the wisdom lies in question we should be able to answer all understanding how much water should be the people who ask us. Without the given to the plant so that it comes up at balance you cannot ascend. If you cannot it's best. Now this wisdom has to be achieved human beings? For example, everything through vibratory awareness. You are aspire, without having established your But in no way Mother's love is going you So people have an idea that once till we have completely become the Spirit One will say "why is this balance ascend what's the use of our becoming is God but nobody is aware. At the human

 May - June, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze level you become aware, means not bathing. Some people are fond of everything exists, everything is there, but getting up early in the morning singing it is not aware. So there is a stone, that is songs and waking up everyone, some are also God, but it is not yet aware. Like say good at sleeping till 10 o'clock. Some like this area is completely dark and we are very light coloured dresses, some very gold blind. There is nothing to be seen, to be coloured dresses. If you are French, you felt or experienced when you are in that want to have wine little bit. If you are Italian, condition. Actually one thinks that darkness you want to have carbohydrates too much. is the truth, that ignorance is the truth, but If you are Spanish you want to have too when the sun comes up and the light much of fats. If you are Indians you want to comes in and your eyes open, you start have too much of spices. So to change seeing everything. You start becoming this habit you have to give up first of all the aware. So at human level you are aware extremes that you like. at the highest point. Now this awareness has to become then you should sayI must eat lot of chilies. the awareness of the Spirit. That has Ifyou say I like pale colours, than you wear happened to you, you have felt the Spirit. very gold ones. Go from one extreme to But the balance is not there as yet. Your another extreme to begin with. But I have Mother has pulled you out and made you seen people when they go from one that but still there is imbalance inside. If extreme they get stuck up on the other side you go slightly to the left you can be also. So we have to be in the centre- not destroyed, you go to the right you will be to the extremes. destroyed. So you have to try both the things as I have told you the methods which who is a great Master, can never be I will explain. First of all you have to be austere ruled by any ideas that "I like this." He sees with yourself, just separate yourself from beauty in the lush greenery and he sees yourself. Separate yourself as a Spirit, and beauty in the trees which are devoid of any look at your ego and superego. Now you leaves. start watching the ego and super ego- do not maintain it, they are the destroying ina very funny way, has started in the West. forces. Now when you see the play as a Like if you comb your hair then you are no witness of these destroying forces you will good. If you do not smell in the body then know how to also maintain yourself better. you are no good. If you don't look like a To separate yourself is easier when you pig, you are no good. All kinds of funny sort take to austerity. The worst thing that elements have because they are going to the other done to you is that you have formed habits. extreme. All kind of hang ups. Some people are fond of bathing, some people are fond of Nature dresses up itself when it has to Now if you say that I like bland food, A man who is an Avadhuta, the one hanged up by any hang ups. He cannot be Now the trend of getting to austerity of ideas have crawled into the mind But we have to learn from the nature.

 May - June, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze actually what happens that you 'see' it yourselves, so let us see. Get out of that mental conception that you know already about it. You do not know, because what you know is just mental. That should be a part and parcel of your being. Now how to do it? Some will say that we'll just go on being austere about it. Then that will become again another obsession. Some will say, alright Mother has said we should enjoy, so we will just enjoy. How to strike the balance is the big problem. But should not be with people who have vibratory awareness. In that also you can be obsessed. I've seen people talking like they are all great Sahaja Yogis and they are getting no vibrations and saying they are getting vibrations. It is so deceptive. So one has to think that we have to go further and see more and know about it. But if you then ask the French how are you, they like this - that means they are always in imbalance. You ask an Englishman he will say "Don't know" or they say "I know" - there is nothing in between. Now we have to understand that we are greet the spring, and when it is the winter, it just gets completely undressed, I should say, because the leaves have to get to the Mother Earth and that the sun has to reach the Mother Earth. It is not attached to anything. Surprisingly, it is much more elemental than we are. While we, who are spiritual, should have no attachment. But this idea is also a mental idea, which is the worst attachment. It's very funny attachment which makes me laugh, that is the biggest joke that l've seen, that people get attached to mental ideas. It is like believing that whatever you think mentally will just happen to you. Say for a mental person he has to go to a picnic, he will mentally put in his mind that he is going to take this, that and that. He may even open a file and write it down thatIam going to take this, this and this with me. And when he goes to the picnic he finds that he is high and dry because he has not taken anything with him, that it is all in the file. Your Mother is good at speaking and She speaks to you but it should not be your mental attachment. Like, "Yes Mother says so" and every body discusses with such great enthusiasm this is that, but is a very common attachment nowadays with all the people knowing about everything and having nothing. This mental attachment is to be really attacked. Becoming is seeing, becoming is experiencing. Becoming is seeking, it is experiencing. Like if I have to come to this place I must come and 'see' it. Ifl only have thoughts about it and mental ideas, mental pictures, it is no good, it is not mine, it's not the truth. So when you become aware carrying the light in our hands, and the light should not shake; we have to hold the light tight. And we should have a concentrated attention towards the maintenance of the light. And then to tell yourself that we have to 'see' not just to understand mentally, - is to be actually aware. Because you are complete otherwise- you are the part and parcel of the whole- you are! But only thing is that you have not yet seen that. You have mentally accepted, but you have not "become' that. Because mental projection comes from thought. That means you are

 May - June, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze at the level of the thought. You have to it so much that they feel that protocol is not become thoughtless. But if you live on the alright and there should be proper basis of thought, then you are still below protocol, so we are looking after protocol, the Agnaya chakra. So all the thought we are the guards of the protocol, and all waves must be stopped to being with and these things. should say that alright let us 'see' now. So from the Nabhi chakra you come side see the ego of others while those who up to the Agnaya Chakra. Then above that are on the ego side see the emotions of comes the third problem of destruction, - others. So one criticizes another. But they is emotional. The emotional is a 'very' don't see themselves, that they are falling subtle one. Like some people Sahaja into a trap into one of the extremes. So Yogis, will sit down with a guitar and start unless and until you are detached you singing as if they are all lovebirds, you see. So the most delicate one is the emotional. This emotional one is a collectivity in a mistake but it happened to be a mistake. camouflage. For example when the For the first three years of Sahaja Yoga, I Sahaja Yogis meet they will hug never talked of a bhoot. I thought that themselves, kiss each other, they will be would be able to manage without that. But very very nice to each other and sit down a lady came in Sahaja Yoga who was and sing songs like hippies. Take the possessed and who tried all kinds of tantric guitar in the hand and swing on the tune of tricks, so I had to tell them. Now every love. This is actually Vishuddhi at the Sahaja Yogi is a bundle of bhoots. You collectivity point. And that of course is very ask any Sahaja Yogi," why did you do it?" difficult to get rid of, because it gives you"Must be a bhoot". If you say that how is it a very comfortable feeling. And people that you have done such a thing. Then they get confused with emotions, they think it will say "I do not know, it is the bhoot who is joy. Joy only can be achieved through has done." They are never there, all the complete detachment. The detachment bhoots are there. which is egoless and super egoless. But now the problem that human even as a Guru, because if my disciples beings start facing is the assumption that are there I can tell them but if they are they are Gurus. They start speaking about bhoots what am I to tell them? I can talk Sahaja Yoga, talking that they have to Sahaja Yogis but not to bhoots, they become already Shri Krishna. They have won't listen to me. So this is the greatest even a greater ego than the person who escape which Sahaja Yogis have found is actually ignorant about Sahaja Yoga. now, which is the worst, which was never They start talking with such tremendous before. So sometimes I feel it was a ego that I myself am frightened of them. mistake How much they know about Sahaja Yoga, They excuse themselves by just saying," I sometimes think. And they start asserting Mother, it is some negativity". Now those who are on the emotional cannot see it. I will not say that I committed a NowI don't understand how to deal, I introduced this word "bhoot."

 May - June, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze If you are detached, like stone, then What have we to do? Just stand in the you cannot contain this negative water in centre'. At the axis. Try to keep yourself itself in it. You don't become more at the Axis. And then you just see the negativity, you become more a guru. Now, periphery moving, you don't mind. when I say that you should not be negative, supposing under such circumstances you in any way, punish yourself. It is better that should not be a bhoot, you should be you punish than the Divine punishes you, yourself, then they start feeling guilty. So because that is a severe punishment. But all kinds of anti-Guru tricks are working out. do not feel guilty: because you have not am your Guru, and it is anti your Guru, to done anything wrong, it is the bhoot which play these tricks upon yourself. Now you will play these tricks with we should realize that we are Gurus a me-what's the use? You have to gain we cannot be bhoots. something and you are playing tricks against me. You have to be more aware. You are not to be destroyed. Apart from have to learn good manners. These that you have to save others. How will you manners become your nature. Sometimes do it in case if you do not accept that it is people who are very fond of food, I always your privilege, that it is your fortune, that tell them they should fast. Whatever you you have been chosen to be the medium are fond of, try to give up. Try to overcome of God's work. Sometimes I feel that all your sicknesses of attachments, your the bhoots have come to me for realization habits. Once your Guru Tatwa is and I am now going to become a bhoot established, you will be accepted as a myself! Bhoot also means Bhootnath, is Guru. There will not be any need for you to the name of Shri Shankara, Shri Shiva, say that you are a Guru, people will know because He gets after the bhoots all the that you are. We don't have to then write time. When you see yourself misbehaving has done! So we come to the point that nd We have to change our outside also to become good Gurus. For example, we But you have to be the present and on our foreheads that we are Gurus, not the bhoot, bhoot means the past. Then what is there to be known? you can see the divinity walking, you can You become,-when you are in the see the dignity walking, the glory coming present. You just start becoming, up. evolving, blossoming. Try to be in the present. Do not escape the present, face the light of that within enlightenment will be it. Don't feel guilty, nor blame the bhoot, shown outside. But it should not be a both things are going to take you away mental idea or an emotional idea but from the present. Now just see the whole should be the happening, the becoming, nature, the whole divine power, your ardent the awareness. You have to experience desire of ages, everything is on your side. through your own experimentation upon The time has come. You are just there. yourself. Even I do that. When I cannot people will know that this is a Guru walking, You have to change from within and

When people are walking on Her, She is looking after them. reach you from one end because you are a bhoot, I reach you from ane end because you are a bhoot, I reach you from the other. If somebody says he is a bhoot, then I see that he suffers a little, and faces it, the bhoot in him. For example, somebody-l tell someone that please do this and he forgets completely about it, and he says that it is a bhoot that has done. So then he loses his purse and then I say the bhoots must have taken away the purse. But I experiment with myself. first see how I should approach you. If it does not work out I try something else, within myself. Because it's a very tricky time we are with. If you had gone according to the shariat (rules) or the chapter of Levi, all the bhoots would not be here! May be no Sahaja Yogis might have been left also! And this mental projection is such a common thing that it is difficult to detach people, but only way I can play tricks with you is by experimenting myself on you. In the same way you must play with yourself and try to put yourself in an experimental She creates out of Her Svayambhoos, the self manifested stones. Her attraction and concern is so great that without Her we would be hanging in the air. And She keeps me to the brass tacks, as they say, to the reality. If I wanted I could be just the Spirit and not bother about anybody else. The way She bears our sins, the way She always looks after us and nourishes us despite our so many defects, in the same way a Guru should do. She is 'extremely' forgiving. But She explodes as an earthquake, and sometimes hot calcium and hot potassium can come out of Her. She produces sulfur for your cure. If England's soil becomes vibrated, then this soil can be used for medicine. In India people use clay for medicine, for every kind of treatment. The understanding about Guru Tattva one can have from the Mother Earth. So let us touch the Mother Earth and bow to Her. box. Today is the day of Guru Puja, the day when you have to worship your Guru. You are really fortunate to have a Guru which is a Mother. And my Mother and Guru is this Mother Earth which teaches me how to deal with human beings. And She is the one who also at every stage of difficulties helps me to correct my own methods of Nirmala Vidya. She has been such a kind Mother and a kind Guru to me. May God Bless you. In the Kundalini Shastra, Mother Earth is the Kundalini. Mooladhara is the Mother Earth. So for us, Kundalini is the most important thing. We don't have to worry about what they have talked about in the Levi, that you must not steal, you must not tell lies. What we have to worry is to keep your Kundalini up. And She is such a soothing personality. All this green though is given to her by Sun, as they say, is just to soothe us all. She

 10 May- Jurie, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze You know that we cannot take So the Guru has to be a person who is 'absolutely practical'. He must have anything with us. Only the Guru can take common sense and 'absolutely practical', with him something. Nobody else can take he cannot be an impractical person. A it. Only the Guru has all the disciples and person who's impractical is not a Guru. But practical in the common way is ages' who will sing the praise. No other understood as a man who is cunning, who relationship is that eternal. It goes on knows how to deviate from right path and reflecting for ages and ages and ages. It's all that. That is the most impractical thing one wave that falls and disappears, in to do! Something absurd, something out anything that you do every wave of the blue is not the way a Guru has to disappears, but not the wave of knowledge move. There is all common sense which from a Guru. It's even higher than the should guide a Guru how to deal with a Divine principle cannot explain, it is the person. And common sense is a thing Guru who explains it. Not that it manifests which is not cunningness by any chance. but it explains and it works out, so he is The source of common sense is the Spirit. the master of the Divine Power. The expression of a Guru is very very paradoxical. For example, a Guru will be meaning of the Guru. Like the word has extremely practical, supposing he has to the meaning, and the word serves the build his own house, a house or an ashram, or anything, he will be extremely serves the Guru. Everything is at your practical. He will be very economical, he disposal. When you are a Guru all your will create something out of the blue, charkas are at your disposal. All the people will be amazed how he has done universe is at your disposal. Because you it, so practical. But he will be so detached are the Guru! Its like the director of the that if this ashram is to be donated to show. The stage man, the gentleman who somebody, in one second he will donate is in charge of the lights, the gentleman it. For acquiring, say for example, for who is in charge of the loud speaker, acquiring a lamp, the Guru will be very 'everybody' has to serve the director, practical, he will get the best and the because he is training the actors. cheapest and the most beautiful. And he will be very intense about it. But when it much unchallenged, it should be of such a will come to giving he will be even more capacity that nobody can challenge that, it intense about it. That when he will give should be such a capable personality that with the same intensity. He will find out all nobody should be able to challenge the practical methods how to donate, also to Guru, then only it will work out. So you have give away. So his acquiring is actually to work it out in a such a way that you are giving. He acquires to give. That's how absolutely unchallengeable. And you are he is the most practical. disciples and disciples and disciples for So in a way, Divine Power is like the meaning.

 SEEKING AND FINDING By JASON COPELAND When I look at the longings and passions I felt before meeting Mother, it is hard to discern how I merited the title of seeker. I have to look closely into the jumble of aims and conflicting desires that moved my life then, and see if any of it had any consistent thread. In fact there were several. Religion was not noticeably one of them; I was brought up a Catholic in the dogmatic Irish tradition, and hated the Catholic Church with a violent rage born of the brutal, insensitive, mindless terrorI had received owning classes and bureaucrats with spurious hopes of a better life after death. It should be remembered here that Christians do not believe in reincarnation, so their despair and drive to ingratiate themselves with authority- is thus total. Religion seemed to me to be the ultimate fraud, the sickest con trick played in the history of the universe, the cruelest and most foul tradition of the human spirit that the perversity of the human spirit could concoct. So much for religion. That of course was entirely without prejudice as to the question of whether or not God exists. I went through several different stages on that one, sometimes believing that God doesn't exist, sometimes that he did but was busy elsewhere on a less ambitious project than trying to create intelligent life on Earth, sometimes just that God must be the essence of crueity and hardness to allow such brutality, violence, injustice and savagery to continue. In 1971, having been a dope- smoking revolutionary hippie for some years, I looked at one of the varieties of imported oriental mysticism then available in England, a pouty-looking brat of an alleged Guru called Guru Maharaj ji, who was then about thirteen years old. His acolytes said many interesting things about spirituality and "the knowledge", and impressed me with what seemed to my misted eyes to be a degree of sincerity and depth that I had not found elsewhere, from it. I didn't grow up in a happy home, my parents broke up when I was small and after that all I remember is unhappiness and fear. Everything seemed to be a sin, especially speaking to adults they didn't want to hear what you said. Religion to me means black clothing, miserable old men putting the frighteners on small children, mystifying ceremonies in a long- dead language, and violent punishment for the slightest sin (especially if it was fun or involved thinking for oneself) and ultimately eternal damnation to a hell of sadistic tortures in which burning flesh seemed to be the main component, by a vindictive elderly male deity with no sense of humour. That was my early view of religion. AsI grew up and found out just how many true faiths there are, I concluded that Marx was right, and the whole and only purpose of religion was to drug the populace into cringing submission to the property

 13 May - June, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze God I wanted – the God I was looking for was warm and generous and full of love, which fat brat visibly wasn't. I had always envisaged saints and large, loving, forgiving, great-hearted, generous people who shone with laughter of infinite love. I was never very interested in the rest of the gurus that battened on the detritus of the druggy generation after that, so in the following decade I went back into the revolution in its many forms, hoping to build a better world. I got into the claimants' Union strugglers for justice for the sick and unemployed, into squatting struggles for justice for the homeless, into law centres, therapy and the "growth movement", housing co-ops, and lots of other efforts intended as blows against the empire of mammon. It was a great adventure and a great training ground; I learned much, became good at administration and social security advice. I spent most of my spare time in meetings, and saw almost everything as a political struggle. The trouble was, most of the rest of humanity didn't seem to grasp that view, and the situation on the planet as a whole went on getting worse, with wars and battles on the increase daily, socialites and other fighters for human rights and dignity getting mauled, the rich getting richer every day by robbing the poor and the man in the street getting more insular and apathetic all the time. The result of that was that I so I decided to try it. I wasn't at all sure that I possessed the requisite degree of sincerity since my main motive for looking for God seemed to be a desire to escape from the suicidal lunatic asylum I found Earth to be, but I was sufficiently motivated not to want to miss out on God and real love at last if this was it, so I hung around for long enough to persuade the "mahatmas" of my interest and eventually asked for 'the knowledge". On the appointment day, I was taken with several other postulants to an upstairs room, and after the introductory 'satsang" was shown four meditation techniques with which I tried to meditate for a few months. The movement in Britain was much populated by not very bright young people whose rejection of intellectuality seemed mainly to stem from their inability to pursue a thought for more than ten words. That was the first thing that made me suspicious. I could see the need in spiritual pursuits to bring the rational mind to a recognition of the narrowness of its own limits, but the extent of the willing mindlessness of little fatso's devotees seemed to me to mock the dignity of man and God, and to insult the tools God gave man. Secondly the abject abnegation of ego espoused by the premise seemed to produce an unhealthily degrading effect, an atmosphere of self-hatred rather than one of sincere and warm humility. I couldn't understand what sort of God would want to be worshipped by such cringing ciphers as the long-term devotees made of themselves at any rate, such a mean, spiteful and power-hungry deity wasn't the took increasing solace in my other two consuming passions, alcohol and women, when I became too tired or despondent to work myself to distraction.

For the next twenty-four hours I was out of my head with joy, relief and excitement. There was no doubt in my mind as to precisely what I had been lucky enough to discover, and the importance of it, and the incredible fact that little me had been smiled on by God, that God had answered my anguished cry for help, sent me completely over the moon with excitement. I knew that this was the goodness I had always wanted. My exultation cannot be described. After Her talk, Mother asked me which false guru I had been to, and I told her. She then sat me down on the floor in front of Her and laid Her feet on various parts of my back and front. I didn't know about bhoots then, but I did physically feel negativity, bad energy, leaving my body at various points, and pains and blockages moving about. Mother cricked my neck and did several other things to straighten my spine up a bit, and kept Her feet on my suffering body for what felt like at least half an hour. Great heat came out, and became dazed with the intensity of the operation as the vibration flooded through me. Afterwards, I felt much cleaner, much lighter, straighter of body and of mind, and filled with great love, peace, security and bliss, and a sense of the vastness of God and the permanence of the spirit. The presence of the Kundalini was so palpable. in all my sensations that I hardly needed to ask my hands whether they felt cool breeze - I felt strong sensations on my head, in my heart and throughout my body. The sense of well-being pervaded all over me, along with the tangible effects of the clearing-out mother had given me. On the way home, I threw away my tobacco tin and gave up smoking permanently, and then leapt in the air and Swung round lampposts for sheer joy and exuberance. I felt like a long-lost son who discovery of a thousand life-times, and that certainty sustained me for much of the succeeding week during which time I had precious little interest in food or sleep or indeed anything at all save Mother and the vibration. I could hardly contain myself until the Monday night. When I was due to attend a meeting of Sahaja Yoga in Westminster, where mother was expected to appear. I took my place early in the meeting hall, and meditated on Mother's picture. When She arrived, my wildest dreams were instantly fulfilled; by Her gentleness, warmth, sweetness, joy, laughter, charm and general unbounded lovingness. I knew the Goddess of love was here, and I felt a great relief as all the terrors of the stern punitive masculine God of the Catholics evaporated-and I laughed with joy and freedom from fear. Mother sat down and gave a talk, of which I remember little, so wild was my joy, save that She was full of humor and laughter- and my cup of joy ran truly over at the amazing revelation of the Goddess of bountiful love and had just been welcomed home by his Mother, and my awe and joy were uncontainable. The intense excitement continued as my mind began to grasp in a

 ACTION RELATED TO SPIRIT: Our beloved Mother Shri Mataji has explained to us quite often that Sahaja Yoga is a dynamic, living process. Sahaja Yoga nourishes itself through itself and grows for itself. This dynamic, tremendous movement of positivity is ignited by our spirit which is the reflection of our Mother's divinity in our being. Every Sahaja Yogi's spirit is a part, a cell of Shri Mataji's body. This spirit must be activated to become a dynamic power, ready to attain and gain the hearts of the seekers who are still his spirit more and more. As our beloved Mother told us, we must express our desires. But what is desire? Desire is will put into action.' What should we desire? Not to have more money or more success in life, but we should desire our spirit to act. What does our spirit desire in order to act? The spirit desires to manifest his essence of joy outside and to spread the. flow of the divine vibrations of our beloved Mother. The spirit desires to be fully itself, bound to the Adi Shakti, and to increase the channels which unite us to Shri Mataji. So we have to let our spirit manifest its desire. If we do so, the spirit will do the job. It will automatically act. Enjoying its own fulfilment, it will express its joy through action and enjoy it's press its joy through action and enjoy it's own action. The spirit will be the motor of the engine, ready to go and put the Sahaja Yogi's wherever and whenever he likes; that means every Sahaja Yogi can be in thoughtless awareness wherever and whenever he searching God. As Sahaja Yogi's we must understand how to use our spirit, work with and leave our EGO and our misidentifications. When a new person gets his realization and stabilized his feelings and beliefs, the Unconscious will give him signs to help him to strengthen his faith towards Sahaja Yoga. Because he is still weak and shattered he goes up and down, very sensitive towards other people, catch from them and put his attention on other's negativity without knowing that he gets identified by this negativity. It is the first step where he may become a lethargic, trying to avoid those who did not get yet their realization, afraid of some "bhoots" hanging around in the air. But when he grows inside, discovering the subtleties of Sahaja Yoga and feeling manifestations of his spirit, he gets out of his mood of fear little by little, leaves his shell which covered his spirit and did not allow him to see around. likes, because it is his spirit which acts, and not his EGO. Then, the more our spirit acts, the more our EGO decreases and we are able to see our own beauty enlightened by this spirit. But to train our spirit to act, it would befoolish to say. "Now, Mr. X let your spirit act". It would not work. No, let's jump the water, let's work and live like the others, let's mix up ourselves with the "others" so that they can discover us only through the inside to the inside, from their heart to our heart. And the more we confront them, the the into A Sahaja Yogi, when his faith is settled down in this heart must manifest

These are the powers of love and understanding, a perfect balance between patience and determination, tolerance and courage of telling the truth. Confronted with them, we leam how to adapt ourselves to every kind of situations, every specimen of "bhoots" and so we strengthen ourselves. Little by little we know how to deal with them and Mother Adi Shakti, the Holy Spirit, the desire of God Almighty, the Redemptor of the Humanity, the Absolute of all Absolutes, and so it knows to that the absolute does not move because He is the integration of all integrations, the action of all actions as well as the inaction of all inactions. In this sense every Sahaja Yogi's spirit must grow in order to understand that desire put into action means to move closer and closer to this especially we begin to understand that it is only through the action of our spirit that we can show authority upon them. When we meet Shri Mataji, we meet the absolute and we receive the absolute. So let's be Absolute and let flow into the collective Absolute through the inner manifestation of our acting spirit. We, all the Sahaja Yogis, should pray to our Mother to let us act through our spirit, because our spirit which acts, desires the other Sahaja Yogis to act too and so the collectivity increases. If we want to spread Sahaja Yoga all being the incomparable love and the extraordinary beauty of his Divine Mother. Maria -Amelia et Arneau de Kalberamatten (Nirmala Yoga-81)

Our ego, super ego, lack of precise knowledge, our often 'not so clear vibrations many mis- identifications and conditionings-all these things make us so unworthy of your continuous and overflowing grace. But the love has always been there. Many of your children have, by your grace, gained their self-realization here in Australia. This, very naturally, has given us and all the Sahaja- yogis and Yoginis great joy. There will be about 35 of your Australian children coming to India to be with you and the joy that they feel inside cannot be described. My beloved Mother, It is with great joy that I am writing to you, Mother, in that blessed land of India, where by your grace I gained the realization of myself, my whole being thrills with excitement, that in just several more weeks I shall be with the one, who has bestowed upon one of Her children, the gift of knowing one's Self. And of course, Terence feels just the same. When we left you, Mother, in Delhi were in all truth somewhat apprehensive of the future. We had been close to our Mother for 8 weeks and in the warmth of Her being we felt secure. When we left you, we felt like rather fearful baby- birds taking their first tentative flying lesson.

We have been so blessed by you their in Australia we said "OK Here we go and take a big jump" And we found that our wings did work and we knew that the confidence would come. The desire to grow was there no doubt. So, with Mother's love, we surged ahead and took great joy in all the new discoveries and in all these ways. Many have given up fresh challenges and especially in finding old homes where they lived in isolation and joyful company in 'other baby-birds' which with all sorts of misidentification and in were learning to fly with us.

 CONFIDENCE IN OUR VIBRATIONS Vibratory awareness is a precious particular way, but when the moment of gift we receive after our Realisation. Anew action arrives, the moment of taking the field of judgment is opened in front of us, final decision we go backwards. We are shows us wider horizons. Our sense of afraid, In that moment joy goes away from discrimination, symbolized by the swan our hearts and instead of it non-confidence who can separate the milk from the water, settles there. The decision will not any develops and gives us more assurance, more confidence in our decisions. Where Unconscious. there was darkness we now see light, more be the one coming from the On the contrary, if we deeply believe we were given this power, we will always be confident and we will always feel the attention of Shri Mataji on us. We are like little birds learning how to fly, and as soon as we cannot go further we are taken in the nest. And again through HER GRACE we will try, till we are capable of doing in where we would feel incertitude we are now sure. The correct way, the Right path is shown to us through vibrations. But sometimes, we misuse this wonderful gift and try to get an answer to our petty daily things, through vibrations. This power was given to us by the enormous generosity of ADI SHAKTI, best to be used in a correct our own. way. We should not waste it. If not used correctly we may lose it, and then the answer we had looked for will not be the good one. At such stage we lose confidence-confidence in ourselves and immediately in Sahaja Yoga. But if each time we use it, we do it from the heart, for a worthy purpose, the sure answer will come even when not expected but with a sign easily recognized by a Sahaja Yogi, as coming from the Divine. The same way Shri Mataji gives us the powers, shows us the way of the way of doing things, and then leaves us free to act by ourselves, always under Her Loving Care, Wise Guidance, Tremendous Compassion. It is time for us to be strong to grow to face reality and to learn how to fly with all the jov in our HEARTS through the unlimited LOVE flowing from Shri Mataji.

This has to be verified, but it is a On the birthday of our Divine Mother we all thank Her to havo been born in an fact. Because external action and desire age when it has been possible to know is reflected within, the chakras become personally the most complete incarnation clean or dirty according to our outward which has been known in all the history of behaviour.

Their message fails to inspire because it does not come from the source of truth. Truth has its own strength. When one has become the truth then his words have great authority and strike deep.

A leader who practices what he preaches is like the rising sun which sheds vibrations, as loving, generous, gracious, light and shows the way.

actually what happens that you 'see' it
yourselves, so let us see. Get out of that
mental conception that you know already
about it. You do not know, because what
you know is just mental. That should be a
part and parcel of your being.
Now how to do it? Some will say that
we'll just go on being austere about it.
Then that will become again another
obsession. Some will say, alright Mother
has said we should enjoy, so we will just
enjoy. How to strike the balance is the big
problem. But should not be with people
who have vibratory awareness. In that also
you can be obsessed. I've seen people
talking like they are all great Sahaja Yogis
and they are getting no vibrations and
saying they are getting vibrations. It is so
deceptive.
So one has to think that we have to
go further and see more and know about
it. But if you then ask the French how are
you, they like this - that means they are
always in imbalance. You ask an
Englishman he will say "Don't know" or they
say "I know" - there is nothing in between.
Now we have to understand that we are

it just gets completely undressed, I should
say, because the leaves have to get to the
Mother Earth and that the sun has to reach
the Mother Earth. It is not attached to
anything. Surprisingly, it is much more
elemental than we are. While we, who are
spiritual, should have no attachment.
But this idea is also a mental idea,
which is the worst attachment. It's very
funny attachment which makes me laugh,
that is the biggest joke that l've seen, that
people get attached to mental ideas. It is
like believing that whatever you think
mentally will just happen to you. Say for a
mental person he has to go to a picnic, he
will mentally put in his mind that he is going
to take this, that and that. He may even
open a file and write it down thatIam going
to take this, this and this with me. And
when he goes to the picnic he finds that
he is high and dry because he has not
taken anything with him, that it is all in the
file.
Your Mother is good at speaking and
She speaks to you but it should not be your
mental attachment. Like, "Yes Mother says
so" and every body discusses with such
great enthusiasm this is that, but is a very
common attachment nowadays with all the
people knowing about everything and
having nothing. This mental attachment is
to be really attacked.
Becoming is seeing, becoming is
experiencing. Becoming is seeking, it is
experiencing. Like if I have to come to this
place I must come and 'see' it. Ifl only have
thoughts about it and mental ideas, mental
pictures, it is no good, it is not mine, it's
not the truth. So when you become aware

tight. And we should have a concentrated
attention towards the maintenance of the
light. And then to tell yourself that we have

to be actually aware. Because you are

 SEEKING AND FINDING
By
JASON COPELAND
When I look at the longings and
passions I felt before meeting Mother, it is
hard to discern how I merited the title of
seeker. I have to look closely into the
jumble of aims and conflicting desires that
moved my life then, and see if any of it
had any consistent thread.
In fact there were several. Religion
was not noticeably one of them; I was
brought up a Catholic in the dogmatic Irish
tradition, and hated the Catholic Church
with a violent rage born of the brutal,
insensitive, mindless terrorI had received
owning classes and bureaucrats with
spurious hopes of a better life after death.
It should be remembered here that
Christians do not believe in reincarnation,
so their despair and drive to ingratiate
themselves with authority- is thus total.
Religion seemed to me to be the ultimate
fraud, the sickest con trick played in the
history of the universe, the cruelest and
most foul tradition of the human spirit that
the perversity of the human spirit could
concoct.
So much for religion. That of course
was entirely without prejudice as to the
question of whether or not God exists. I
went through several different stages on
that one, sometimes believing that God
doesn't exist, sometimes that he did but
was busy elsewhere on a less ambitious
project than trying to create intelligent life
on Earth, sometimes just that God must
be the essence of crueity and hardness to
allow such brutality, violence, injustice and
savagery to continue. In 1971, having been
a dope- smoking revolutionary hippie for
some years, I looked at one of the varieties
of imported oriental mysticism then
available in England, a pouty-looking brat
of an alleged Guru called Guru Maharaj ji,
who was then about thirteen years old. His
acolytes said many interesting things about
spirituality and "the knowledge", and
impressed me with what seemed to my
misted eyes to be a degree of sincerity
and depth that I had not found elsewhere,
from it. I didn't grow up in a happy home,
my parents broke up when I was small and
after that all I remember is unhappiness
and fear. Everything seemed to be a sin,
especially speaking to adults they didn't
want to hear what you said. Religion to
me means black clothing, miserable old
men putting the frighteners on small
children, mystifying ceremonies in a long-
dead language, and violent punishment for
the slightest sin (especially if it was fun or
involved thinking for oneself) and ultimately
eternal damnation to a hell of sadistic
tortures in which burning flesh seemed to
be the main component, by a vindictive
elderly male deity with no sense of humour.
That was my early view of religion.
AsI grew up and found out just how many
true faiths there are, I concluded that Marx

envisaged saints and large, loving,
forgiving, great-hearted, generous people
who shone with laughter of infinite love. I
was never very interested in the rest of the
gurus that battened on the detritus of the
druggy generation after that, so in the
following decade I went back into the
revolution in its many forms, hoping to build
a better world. I got into the claimants'
Union strugglers for justice for the sick and
unemployed, into squatting struggles for
justice for the homeless, into law centres,
therapy and the "growth movement",
housing co-ops, and lots of other efforts
intended as blows against the empire of
mammon. It was a great adventure and a
great training ground; I learned much,
became good at administration and social
security advice. I spent most of my spare
time in meetings, and saw almost
everything as a political struggle. The
trouble was, most of the rest of humanity
didn't seem to grasp that view, and the
situation on the planet as a whole went on
getting worse, with wars and battles on the
increase daily, socialites and other fighters
for human rights and dignity getting
mauled, the rich getting richer every day
by robbing the poor and the man in the
street getting more insular and apathetic
all the time. The result of that was that I
so I decided to try it. I wasn't at all sure
that I possessed the requisite degree of
sincerity since my main motive for looking
for God seemed to be a desire to escape
from the suicidal lunatic asylum I found
Earth to be, but I was sufficiently motivated
not to want to miss out on God and real
love at last if this was it, so I hung around
for long enough to persuade the
"mahatmas" of my interest and eventually
asked for 'the knowledge". On the
appointment day, I was taken with several
other postulants to an upstairs room, and
after the introductory 'satsang" was shown
four meditation techniques with which I
tried to meditate for a few months.
The movement in Britain was much
populated by not very bright young people
whose rejection of intellectuality seemed
mainly to stem from their inability to pursue
a thought for more than ten words. That
was the first thing that made me
suspicious. I could see the need in
spiritual pursuits to bring the rational mind
to a recognition of the narrowness of its
own limits, but the extent of the willing
mindlessness of little fatso's devotees
seemed to me to mock the dignity of man
and God, and to insult the tools God gave
man. Secondly the abject abnegation of
ego espoused by the premise seemed to
produce an unhealthily degrading effect,
an atmosphere of self-hatred rather than
one of sincere and warm humility. I couldn't
understand what sort of God would want
to be worshipped by such cringing ciphers
as the long-term devotees made of
themselves at any rate, such a mean,
spiteful and power-hungry deity wasn't the

The tears of joy and sweet, blessed relief
ran rivers down the windows of my soul.
For the next twenty-four hours I was
out of my head with joy, relief and
excitement. There was no doubt in my
mind as to precisely what I had been lucky
enough to discover, and the importance
of it, and the incredible fact that little me
had been smiled on by God, that God had
answered my anguished cry for help, sent
me completely over the moon with
excitement. I knew that this was the
goodness I had always wanted. My
exultation cannot be described.
After Her talk, Mother asked me
which false guru I had been to, and I told
her. She then sat me down on the floor in
front of Her and laid Her feet on various
parts of my back and front. I didn't know
about bhoots then, but I did physically feel
negativity, bad energy, leaving my body at
various points, and pains and blockages
moving about. Mother cricked my neck
and did several other things to straighten
my spine up a bit, and kept Her feet on my
suffering body for what felt like at least half
an hour. Great heat came out, and
became dazed with the intensity of the
operation as the vibration flooded through
me. Afterwards, I felt much cleaner, much
lighter, straighter of body and of mind, and
filled with great love, peace, security and
bliss, and a sense of the vastness of God
and the permanence of the spirit. The
presence of the Kundalini was so palpable.

On the way home, I threw away my

discovery of a thousand life-times, and that

the Monday night. When I was due to
attend a meeting of Sahaja Yoga in
Westminster, where mother was expected
to appear.
I took my place early in the meeting
hall, and meditated on Mother's picture.
When She arrived, my wildest dreams
were instantly fulfilled; by Her gentleness,
warmth, sweetness, joy, laughter, charm
and general unbounded lovingness. I knew
the Goddess of love was here, and I felt a
great relief as all the terrors of the stern
punitive masculine God of the Catholics
evaporated-and I laughed with joy and
freedom from fear. Mother sat down and

wild was my joy, save that She was full of
humor and laughter- and my cup of joy

 ACTION RELATED TO SPIRIT:
Our beloved Mother Shri Mataji has
explained to us quite often that Sahaja
Yoga is a dynamic, living process. Sahaja
Yoga nourishes itself through itself and
grows for itself. This dynamic, tremendous
movement of positivity is ignited by our
spirit which is the reflection of our Mother's
divinity in our being. Every Sahaja Yogi's
spirit is a part, a cell of Shri Mataji's body.
This spirit must be activated to become a
dynamic power, ready to attain and gain
the hearts of the seekers who are still

Mother told us, we must express our
desires. But what is desire? Desire is
will put into action.' What should we
desire? Not to have more money or more
success in life, but we should desire our
spirit to act. What does our spirit desire
in order to act?
The spirit desires to manifest his
essence of joy outside and to spread the.
flow of the divine vibrations of our beloved
Mother. The spirit desires to be fully itself,
bound to the Adi Shakti, and to increase
the channels which unite us to Shri Mataji.
So we have to let our spirit manifest its
desire. If we do so, the spirit will do the
job. It will automatically act. Enjoying its
own fulfilment, it will express its joy through
action and enjoy it's press its joy through
action and enjoy it's own action. The spirit
will be the motor of the engine, ready to

whenever he likes; that means every
Sahaja Yogi can be in thoughtless
awareness wherever and whenever he

understand how to use our spirit, work with

our
misidentifications.

All thanks to you, Mother 'O Adi Shakti.
Needless to say to you Mother, we have
made many mistakes for which we
sincerely beg for forgiveness. Our ego,
super ego, lack of precise knowledge, our
often 'not so clear vibrations many mis-
identifications and conditionings-all these
things make us so unworthy of your
continuous and overflowing grace. But the
love has always been there. Many of your
children have, by your grace, gained their
self-realization here in Australia. This, very
naturally, has given us and all the Sahaja-
yogis and Yoginis great joy. There will be
about 35 of your Australian children coming
to India to be with you and the joy that they
feel inside cannot be described.
My beloved Mother,
It is with great joy that I am writing to

realization of myself, my whole being thrills
with excitement, that in just several more
