The Divine Cool Breezes 2009 issue 4 – volume twenty-two n umber four It is said that God is love. We have heard that many times and many people have explained in their own way what is love. But to feel that love is the best way of understanding it. Even if you explain or describe in all details, although it is described in all detail, you cannot enjoy love without experiencing it. The ocean of love is your Sahasrara. When your Sahasrara is filled with love, then life is changed. You don't become a very intelligent man, a very dynamic personality, but you are nothing but love and this love is so self-satisfying. You are not bothered if others don't love you or they love you. just You don't see to that part. What you see is the enjoyment from that love. It's a tremendous ocean of love. You all have got it. And once you have entered into Sahaja Yoga, you know that you have entered into the Sahasrara. And the Sahasrara is, I tell you, the source of all the truth. recognize Truth is there – the complete truth. Truth is the knowledge. And also, truth is love. God is the ocean of compassion, ocean of love. He is the one who is so anxious that you all should enter into His kingdom to occupy your great seats as His children. He is the Father of the Fathers. He is the most loving Father you could think of. The Divine Cool Breeze This experience comes to us because God Himself has placed within us This issue features the mechanism to absorb this love and to manifest it. It is a very delicate one talk from mechanism within us – extremely delicate. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi This mechanism is placed in our heart and, by our ignorance, so many CKP Hall, Mumbai times we spoil this mechanism or disturb it or sometimes even completely 30 December 1979 destroy it. Advice on All Chakras The light of love is joy. Anything else cannot give you joy. It's only the love that you feel in your heart that gives you joy. Some words and sentences on the yellow pages are MULADHARA translated from Marathi. This mechanism acts in seven layers within us. In the periphery of these These appear in italics. seven layers, we have got ripples of this joy arising. They come to the shores of our brain and create the bubbles of joy. But again, if the brain is a very MORE ABOUT rational rock, then these bubbles dissolve, giving no effect to the rock. So a THE MULADHARA 13 January 1983 Left Muladhara and the Supraconscious Duhlia India loving person is a thousand times better than a rational person. But most of the people feel this love only on the periphery of the 5 February 1981 The Muladhara Chakra outermost layer, which is the light of the Muladhara. As you know, the New Delhi India Muladhara has got excretory effects and how important or relieved we MORE ABOUT LOVE feel when our excretions are all right. It's a basic thing that that relief gives Guru Puja 2001 Worship, Purity and Love in Yourself and in Others Cabella Italy you a kind of a joy and happiness. It is really gross. It is a low type, as they Diwali Puja 1987 The Light of Love Lecco Italy call it, but very important for us to get that joy. But to make this joy not so dominating over all other joys of deeper sensitivity is to be innocent. Sahasrara Puja 1989 Jump into the Ocean of Love Sorrento Italy I know one cannot be innocent. You have to be innocent yourself. But 26 October 1987 The Revolution of Love Rome Italy with Sahaja Yoga you can, by clearing your Muladhara. 2 Innocence was created first of all before the universe was created and this exists within us. сетсе ren We are here to give joy, happiness to everyone, to make everyone happy... When you make them happy, then you feel that joy within yourself, “Oh, they're so happy." See their happiness. Then only this lotus opens out much more like a ripple moves and moves to the end of the shores and then, from the shore, it returns back to you. In the same way, when your joy reaches the joy of others, then the ripples that come up make a beautiful pattern of your life. Just think of such situations where you did something good to others, have been nice to others. And then you found the very joy in that person and how that joy came back to you. Think of that pattern that you felt so subtly in your life, how it is built in. Whenever you think of that time or that moment or that area, the whole picture comes to you and you think, “What a time!" But that time is eternally within you all the time... You are My light and the light is there, which is an eternal light. MORE ABOUT INNOCENCE So that's very important, that our Muladharas must be clear. Our 23 June 1980 The Essence Within innocence must be established, so that these gross joys do not cover the London United Kingdom 31 December 1985 entire spectrum of our life and make us slaves of these gross joy-giving The Innocence of a Child Ganapatipule India reliefs. But to clean your Muladhara does not mean, by any chance in Sahaja Sahasrara Puja 1984 Mesnieres de Brayes France Yoga, to get after any kind of obsession and obstruction, but to give a natural Mahakali Puja 1990 Purity and Collectivity Le Raincy France release, like an innocent child, to these ripples, which need not go back to all MORE ABOUT RIPPLES the other layers of joy. Diwali Puja 1994 The Lights of Pure Compassion Istanbul Turkey You must have seen when the ripples in a ocean touch the shores, they 7 June 1988 turn back.

If the brain is very ego-oriented, 9 March 1983 Puja Talk Melbourne Australia is covered with ego, then these joys have a much greater significance in life In Sahaja Yoga there's no question of suppression. You just become innocent. than normal. Innocence is the only way one can neutralize those ripples coming back on the other six very important layers. That is the principle of Shiva. This Sahaj culture is in the SWADISTHAN centre, neither too much of licentiousness you go forward, you know in the second layer is the joy of creativity. As nor too much of suppression, but it is in the centre, which is Shiva's greatest When the joy of creativity comes within us, it again comes back to the periphery. For some people it is so important, so maddening to create principle. It is to be innocent. And this something – they are mad after it and they think it is something so important innocence just shines in you.... To be in the centre, in the Sahaj, is the best way to to do – to create some thought, to create some book, to create some artistic impressions or something. For some people it's very important, so they understand that what is so important for life is morality. And that comes from your create. And this creativity, when it hits some rational mind, it gives him the same kind of a deeper reaction, that a person starts thinking that he is the innocence. And that is the quality of Shri Ganesha, who is the greatest of all and whatever he does to the rest of the world is all right as son of Shiva. 3 disthe Swadisthan is the chakra which gives you, first and foremost thing, creativity. A person who is a guru has to be creative by nature. If you are not a creative person, yoи саппot becoте a guru. For example, you are faced with disciples with whom you have to converse, you have to create a word of divine magic to impress on the disciples or the people who are attracted towards you NIRVICHAR SAMADHI After getting Realization, there is a period of doubts because first you get thoughtless awareness, which is called as nirvichar samadhi. When we say as gurus, to show that you have much more divine magic than them. If you are a very mundane type of a person, very ordinary, cannot create a beautiful couplet or a beautiful sentence or a humour or a joke or a beautiful painting or a beautiful tapestry or a beautiful house, if you lack in creativity you will lack in your guru principle because a guru has to create out of ordinary people something extraordinary. He should be able to create a new personality out of an old awareness in the normal terminology, it means alertness to anything. But when we say samadhi, it means enlightened awareness. You get thoughtless enlightened awareness. And then you get doubtless enlightened awareness. personality which is decayed. So the first principle you have to understand within yourself, that you should be able to create a new personality in a person. The stage between the two in some people is so little that they just are there... But here are mediocre and there are also absolutely bullock carts, I would call them. They cannot move with the time of the jet. In these modern times, imagine a bullock cart being pulled by a jet – big problem. But if you are of that calibre and that quality, you get both the stages just like that. There is no doubt after that. But then there are some who get into doubts. I don't know what they doubt here. They had the experience. They feel the vibrations coming. They see cool breeze flowing through them. They see it working on others. They see the pusation of the Kundalini, the rising of the Kundalini. They are getting better in health and everything is improving. Still they are doubting and wasting their time.. Everything is delayed because of that. All right, so we have here jet planes, we have here supersonics, we have missiles – and we have also bullock carts. Creativity With love, all kinds of creative action takes place ... and as love will increase, your creativity will develop. So the basis of all the creativity of Saraswati is love. If there is no love, there's no creativity. It's even there in the deeper sense. People who have created all the scientific things are also [acting] out of love for the masses, not for themselves. Nobody has produced anything for themselves. If they make something for themselves, it has to become for universal use, otherwise it has no meaning... So all the activity on the right-hand side of Saraswati, basically has to end up in love. ир It starts with love and ends up in love. ир long as he is a great creator of thought or ideas. Such a man can become very, very dogmatic, dominating and could be tyrannical because he thinks whatever he does is showing results, showing success according to him. He rationalizes the whole thing and the whole thing goes back, much deeper into him, covers all his chakras. So the neutralizing of this second layer is thoughtless awareness - nirvichar. When your awareness is enlightened – samadhi- and you are in the nirvichar state, then whatever you create, you just see it. In thoughtless awareness, you really enjoy whatever you see or whatever you create... That is how it is kept to the periphery. It is important that it should be kept, coming on the brain, because the brain is the one which records it. And if the brain is such a solid stuff that it cannot record, it is not sensitive, most of it is lost in giving it a reaction and the whole joy is finished. For example, you create some painting. You just create it and just look at it without any thought. The complete joy of your heart which you have poured onto that canvas will be filling you completely and you will feel the flow of joy going down. If the creation is done in thoughtless awareness, then it is the most pure. Apart from that, it is the most beautiful, it is the most perfect because such a painting or such an art or such a creation, such a thought, such a book, such an idea will emit vibrations. The coefficience MORE ABOUT CREATIVITY to emit vibrations will be complete if it is done in thoughtless awareness. Diwali Puja 2000 Lake Piru USA That is why those who are realized souls, when they create something or Saraswati Puja 1990 The Essence of Vishnumaya they produce something, you find it easy to find out whether it is giving Vancouver Canada vibrations or not – very easy. 4 NABHI When the Kundalini In the same way, you go to the third very, very important centre of your rises, then only these Deities get awakened. And when they Nabhi – the Nabhi, or you can call it the navel chakra. The joy of feeling that get awakened, this Sushumna path, this central path of you have eaten the food cannot be described. In Marathi they will say .. if you are hungry, you won't even take to Sahaja Yoga, you won't take to God. Mahalakshmi starts acting as the balancing power to begin with at the Nabhi chakra. So the Nabhi chakra Even if God is standing before you, you will say, "First fill my stomach, oh God, then I will talk to You." And when you eat the food, the joy you get out of that also goes to the periphery, as usual. If it goes to a rational rock, as I is surrounded by ten gurus, the prophets who give you the then again the effect is deeper. If you start thinking about it, you feel, "I say, balance, who come on this Earth again and again to give you balance in life. have had my food, others must have" and this and that and all those things. And then think that "I must have more of this and more of that. I must you They tell you, "Don't do this, don't do that... So the balancing comes through the Nabhi and the Nabhi looks after you and teaches you how to behave. have something more to feed my stomach." Now when you have a limited stomach, you can't eat mounds of food... Normally people have very limited stomachs. Then when your stomach is limited, you start thinking, "Oh, my stomach is limited. Still the joy of the Nabhi chakra is not yet complete. Let me think of something else" So you end up with maybe alcohol because alcohol you think takes no space in the stomach. You think it has a different spacing in the stomach. I have seen people drinking beer. I was surprised you cannot drink so much of water as | MORE ABOUT THE NABHI 28 March 1981 people can drink beer. Most surprising, pints and pints of beer they can go The Nabhi Chakra Sydney Australia on drinking and they never feel satisfied. At such time, the movement starts 7 February 1981 Nabhi Chakra and Void Delhi India towards the left of the joy. This is the beginning of the left side, we start. Guru Puja 1979 London United Kingdom And at that time, you think that by getting drunk, you are getting into a very romantic mood or some sort of a nonsense like that. Then you start spending In Sahaj culture we have to be special people. We cannot be like other people who are just running after money and doing everything just to ruin themselves. In Sahaja culture we have to meditate, get our satisfaction about everything within ourselves. And also we have to be like the Lakshmi children... Unless and until we meditate, unless and until we reach that state of satisfaction, we cannot see the work of this Divine Power.. Whatever you gain, whatever joy, satisfaction, vibrations, knowledge, all that, you want to give it to others. You want to spread it because now you've got the reality and you don't want to keep it to yourself. You think it is very important that everyone in the world should know about reality. Have that satisfaction and glory of your own being and of your own standard and of your own calibre. The others are not of your calibre – all right, forget about it. That should not give you ego, but should give you a personality that does not react. We have something of our own. We do not react to things. We are not reactionaries. And things will disappear which are harmful. Everything will be perfectly all right because we are standing in our own perfection, in our own glory. What do we need? Nothing, just enjoying ourselves. This Principle of Lakshmi gives us all your time, wasting your life, taking to laziness, to inertia. You take may to drugs. This can reach up to the heart of a person or to the liver of the a great sense of satisfaction. If you don't have satisfaction, person. The liver goes on becoming solid and solid. The more you drink, the then any amount of Lakshmi cannot help worse you become. you. One becoтes very greedy. You have something, but you So man goes on wasting his time trying to get joy out of something which is so dangerous for your being. Anybody who says that drinking is very bad, want to have more and more and more. people immediately say that "Oh, he is absolutely Victorian." Or whatever it is, they brand the person. Now how to get rid of the Nabhi complication? Because these joys are so temporary, you will see in every case. The Nabhi joy is also very temporary. MORE ABOUT SATISFACTION Shri Krishna-Kubera Puja 2002 Canajoharie USA I mean you also do not enjoy it much. If you could, you would not go into it Diwali Puja 2000 Lake Piru USA again and again. So the neutralizing point is satisfaction. You should feel satisfied. You have eaten all right two morsels – feel satisfied. Even with two morsels you Bakasura A demon killed by Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers. will be much happier than, like a bakasur, if you eat a mound of rice. To be satisfied is the only way you can neutralize your Nabhi. In all your material wants, there is no end to it. You go on supplying any number of things. You will go on asking for more, but you have not enjoyed anything. You have bought one piece of cloth. You made a shirt for yourself. You want to have another one because a person who is working in your office has got this kind of a shirt. So run all over the world to find that shirt, but the one who is wearing the shirt, he's running all over the world to find a shirt as you have made. I could have been born a Japanese or a Chinese. And supposing I was speaking in Chinese with three thousand words. Then who'd have understood Me? So this madness goes on increasing and the Nabhi chakra remains in a big turmoil. So one of the neutralizing points, most important, is the satisfaction Pick up what of the Nabhi. At every point you should try to feel satisfied. "All right, if I Mataji is haven't got it, I am satisfied." At that moment you will get the joy. "I have got saying this thing. All right, I am satisfied." You will get the joy and others will be also in a happy disposition.. Satisfaction is the only way one can enjoy. Even say, I am speaking in It is the English, if you just see, are you enjoying the satisfaction of it? Supposing I essence. was not a Maharashtrian. I could have been born a Japanese or a Chinese. And supposing I was speaking in Chinese with three thousand words.. Then Pick it up. what, should you have understood Me? So again, here we come to the same question: are we satisfied? Whatever we get – those who are looking for amrut, for ambrosia, do not bother about That's how the words. They just want to pick up what Mataji is saying. It is the essence. you are Pick it That's how you are going to feel satisfied... •dn. There's no end to the madness, if you start with dissatisfaction. But if you going to start with satisfaction, then that's the point. You don't have to go further – feel satisfied. this You just go deep. Such a person is such a headache, I tell that way, way. Such a person, as soon as you see, you feel, "Oh God, what have I done you. today to deserve this?" A person should live in this world like the flowers. You can't see them, how they bloom, what time they bloom. But when they bloom, you can only feel their fragrance, their love. It is like going in a boat. Just keep quiet. Just be in the centre with the centre of gravity of the boat. Just be there. That is dharma. In your sustenance, stay there. I mean to remain there, you don't have to do anything. To become that, you have to do something. All these things will come to you automatically when there is light. Satisfaction you cannot have without Realization. So before that, if I "You should be satisfied," it's just brainwashing. You cannot be. After say, Realization, because you have found that which satisfies your spirit, that's why your priorities change. You get satisfied for nothing at all.. A person who is satisfied is the most efficient person. Our country suffers from the Nabhi chakra. That's why we are very inefficient people. VOID We have three For everything we have excuses – like "this is not working because this was identities within ourselves. On the not working." Our inefficiency comes out of the Nabhi chakra problem. If you heart is Shiva, in the brain is Shri Krishna, are a satisfied person, your work is very satisfying also. If a lady has a good the Virata, and in the liver, Brahmadeva. So we have three identities and in the stomach, in the Void, as you say, is Nabhi, when she cooks her food, with very little food you feel very satisfied. Whatever she will do will be excellent. all the Guru Tattwa So for all Nabhi problems, one mantra one must remember is of where all the great gurus, from Adi Nath, Mohammed-sahib satisfaction. and others, up to Shirdi Sai Nath, all of them are the Guru principle. VOID Now we go to the Void, although in the seven layers it is a little confused with Nabhi. But we have to see to the Void also. In dharma, in sustenance, we get happiness about it. When we try to be nice to someone we get happiness out of it. But some people who are supposed to be dharmic can be horrid, so boring that you would like to run away from such people all your life. They are supposed to be very religious people.

That shows that you have less strength. So you should say that "Mother, I have less strength and, because that person has so much of this kind of a vibration, I feel a little bad." If the whole world is all right and then you are going to feel all right, then what's the use of having this light? Just think of this – that we will say that "All right, I am the light and I have to give light. I am a realized soul. But when all the lights are all right, then only I will be with them." So a light and a half – what's the use of having such a light? We should have such lights that can go in the darkness and finish the darkness. That light is the light of dharma within us. It is not how many times you meditate, how many times you sit in the water, put your feet in the water or use My photograph or what you do and all these rituals. It is not that.

Everybody's worry is the worry of that person. This comes from the centre Heart, that you try to mother every person. That feeling is there.. The protection is given by the Goddess to Her bhaktas, not to abhaktas, not to rakshasas... First and foremost, the essence of the Heart chakra is security. It is to feel your own security yourself. Feel your own security within yourself. Only the realized can feel that security because they know they have their Atma, their Spirit. By small, small things, we destroy our security.. The complete security within yourself is that you are the Self and these You things are not important. If you are a secure man, your children will also find that out that their security lies in finding their own security. They themselves will say, "Now, don't try to help us to spoil us. Do not give us things by which are we feel more insecure!" And such children would be really brave children... Feel your own security and then the joy of that security will take to you your depth. Why are you insecure in life? Money...? The person who has the God, who has got now the blessings of the Divine, what more does he want? Because your God is almighty, nobody's might is greater than that of your Self. Father. Nobody dare touch you on any point. But your faith is lacking and that is why you start with your faith in your heart. Make the faith sit in your Heart chakra and that faith is going to give you the joy of security. Faith is the answer for all the insecurities of the world. You have made the Parmeshwar stand in front of you, what else do you want? 12 Livata where we have to seek ourselves in others It is the totality – and the totality of everything. If that is the Virat, then that is in your brain, but reality is in your heart. So the totality you may see, you may witness. The reality is the subtlety behind it. The power of the Virata is that it can penetrate into the subtle side of human beings in such a manner that in everything we are connected. We are not separated. And every drop is connected with the ocean. We are connected with the whole universe. And when you become a citizen of the Virat, then all the things with which you are connected also get your vibrations, your ideas, your ambitions. Everything passes through that and it works... Once you are above your ego, you enter into the kingdom of the Virata. There the king is the Virat and you are the subjects who are looked after completely by the Virata Shakti, by the power of the Virata. But at that stage, you become really a universal personality... In the case of a person who rises above his ego and he is a part and parcel of that Virata Shakt, enters into the kingdom of Virata, he knows he is very small. He is very small compared to that and he just dissolves into that shakti. And this should happen to us, that we should humble down. We should humble down and know that our powers, whatever we have, if they give us ego, we should get rid of it. We should not have that ego. We should get rid of it and we should actually achieve that state where you can be called as citizens of the Virata's power... When you are entering into the kingdom of the Virata, have to be like children. You are children there. you As children you enter. VISHUDDHI Madhurya So now we come to the chakra of Vishuddhi. The Vishuddhi chakra Sweetness Krishna is the one who can be divided into two. It is the Vishuddhi and the Hamsa. There are two represents the madhurya, the sweetness, sweetness chakras and the Vishuddhi Chakra is, as you know, the chakra of the Virat, of your character... It's a very beautiful feeling of madhurya. You see, in little, little things they express madhurya, like in poetry, in relating some events. When you get a very sweet where we have to seek ourselves in others. We have to seek our Atma in another person. We have to feel his Atma. We have to feel everybody's feeling about the whole event. Krishna's leelas were Atma. We have to feel everyone else. We have to feel it. And how to do it all full of madhurya. It's like a sport. – Krishna has taught us – is madhurya. It is the sweetness. Madhurya is the essence of sweet. Feel others with the sweetness of it, that you are going to It is for you to use that tremendous power – the embodiment of feel a flower. You are going to smell the fragrance of the other flower, which madhurya, sweetness. That madhurya you have to imbibe and that madhurya you have to spread. That's very important. So that relationship of has a different fragrance from yours. Feel that person with that sweetness as feel the flower. How you catch the flower, how you smell it, how carefully you sweetness between each other, the relation of enjoying each other, the relation of knowing each other has to be full of you don't even break a little of that so that you get the complete fragrance, that fragrance you can only feel if you have that sweetness, that madhurya. sweetness, just like honey. It is just there, but we have to be the bee to reach there. And that sweetness of yours is so joy-giving, how you say things sweetly, how you express yourself sweetly... am sure it will work out. It should work out for all of you. I think the sharpness of the tongue, the cutting nature of the tongue, sarcasm, the so-called brilliance of expression, sometimes it is better to be MORE ABOUT MADHURYA Shri Krishna Puja 1988 The State of Witnessing Garlate Italy with a buddhu (fool) than to be with such an intelligent man who is all the time ... hitting you, morning until evening.

Connecticut USA 13 it Atma we call The seeking of God starts when a person starts realizing or seeing that there must be something beyond, there must be something which is fulfilling, something that is really satisfying and he starts finding that absolute point from where there is no need to return, where there is no disgust, where there is no frustration, disappointment. And such a point resides within us in our heart as the Spirit. We call it Atma in the Sanskrit language. This spirit in the heart is the witness, which witnesses us, which looks after us. But we are not conscious of it. That means the Spirit is not flowing, is not radiating in our central nervous system, that we are not conscious of it. We know there is someone. We know someone inside is there. We're aware of it in a way, but it is not flowing through our conscious mind, through our central nervous system. And this is what the seeking is for. We are seeking our Spirit. As Krishna has said, through Atma only the Atma will know. That is, the Spirit will know Itself through the Spirit. It is a simple thing to be understood, that we are not yet the Spirit and we have to become the Spirit. So at the Vishuddhi level – madhurya, such a simple thing it is. Develop – We have you have to develop a method... The sweetness of your tongue, the sweetness of your talking, the to seek sweetness of meeting people, the whole thing – the sweetness itself gives you such a joy to meet such a person who is so sweet and nice... our atma It is important that the language should be extremely sweet for a Sahaja Yogi.

Just by witnessing. Like two nice friends talking to each other, just witness how GOPAS Shri Krishna played with the gopas by holding their hands – raasa. “Ra" is energy they are enjoying. Just witness the drama. You will pick it up in no time, just like that. The sweetness will be flowing into you. Become so soft in behavior, in your countenance, in your faith.. People should say that "You and sa" means with. He used to play with them.... On one side it's are a realized soul. I can see that." It should be so evident. So give up your a very beautiful, sweet madhurya.... You have to become those gopis and gopas who gave joy last practices and habits. Try to be friendly.

CC י> It means “You are the one." "Sa´ means you. “you." CC you know who is the I your case But for every human being, You is the Divine. You are the One. This comes from the left side. It is sa. So the word “Hamsa" is made of two types of discretion, where to see "I am" and where to see "You are." On these two balances are the Moon and the Sun. In the centre is the cross, which gives you the balance, which gives you the dharma. How all these things are connected, one after another, in layers after layers. You can see how dharma is connected with discretion.... So you can see on the Hamsa how many things are judged. I think the whole of Sahaja Yoga stands on the balance of Hamsa. So this samuhik chetana, this universality, you can feel it on your Vishuddhi chakra, so that you become a part and parcel of that Virat. Once you are fully part and parcel, all of you can feel each other. But without samuhik chetana: sweetness you cannot. Imagine the nose fighting the eyes and the mouth the new awareness of fights, biting the ears. What will happen to a person? The same is the collective consciousness condition of Virat today. Sometimes the ears are blowing, sometimes the head is blowing. The Virat doesn't know what to do because you all are fighting with each other. Think of something sweet. All brothers But in that universality is the point. Because you are born of the same and sisters of Mother, you have the same Mother. Out of Her Sahasrara we are all born. equal merit. That's why we are all brothers and sisters of equal merit and credit. This is what one has to feel. So for the Vishuddhi chakra – universality through sweetness, the sweetness of relationship.

The first thing that it creates – tears come into My eyes because it is the compassion... Every part of the Mother's body, everything is created out of divine love.

He might be shivering, but nothing will happen to Me. I can stop his shivering if I want to. If I don't want, I will ask him to shiver. I am not bothered because on vibrations the responsibility is there. On vibrations – which are My light – I leave them alone. They are very well trained. They know everything. They are absolutely pure. As My name is, they are absolutely pure. I have no problem with them. I play here and there. That's a different point. I try to cover them up sometimes. I create a maya.

In that light, you will enjoy your sacrifice like the martyrs who kill themselves with joy. In the same way, whatever trouble you have to put in for Sahaja Yoga, you will do it with joy – anything that you have to face, any kind of sacrifice... You have to become the light – the light that never dies, which is above all the joys.
