You have to Mother your child

"But this dedication can only be developed if you realise that you have to Mother your child. That, if the mother is ugly the child will be ugly too. Because it is the mother who is expressed in the child. She does not dominate, alright, but she definitely can corrupt the image of the child. And that’s exactly what happens when we, the Sahaja Yogis, are not bothered as to look after our Spirit and our spiritual growth. Even now, you will be surprised, fifty per cent people write letters to Me, ‘Mother, I am still possessed, I have worked with lemons and chillies, I am coming to You for this and that.’ It is a very low-grade business I think, even after so many years you are possessed, then I think you should beat yourself every day 108 times. It’s a very low grade behaviour I personally think, that after your Mother has worked so hard on you, you are still just the same, coming back with the horrible idea of bringing all kinds of problems to your Mother, that means that You have not looked after your child."

Peter-Anger

"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret"

- Laurence J. Peter

There has to be no fear

"People get nervous, plan too much, think too much, analyse too much, and their ego settles down into their brains and ultimately covers their heart, they get a fright. It is very common in the East. In India anybody, even a chaprasi (peon) can shout at you for nothing at all. It is such a vicious circle. So the whole system works out into such a terrible insecurity that you do not understand what there is to bark at. What is there to shout at? And then a kind of identification with falsehood is built up so much that you are no longer a human being, you are either a secretary or under secretary, or a joint secretary, I do not know who is the higher or the lower, and you are nothing else but that, and you must have these horns otherwise nobody is going to believe that you are something, so it is such an identification that develops into human beings because your heart is not developed properly, you know your Mother has given you birth and you are a human being. There is no need to have any fear from another human being who is also a child of your Mother. So there has to be no fear about it."

Greatest Love

The greatest guru that we have is love, sahaj love. It is the guru
within us which teaches us, which somehow or other leads us.

We are led into that great line of understanding, for which we don't
have to go to any college, to any school for education. It is
something so much within that it works and expresses itself, expresses
like a light.

Such people we can make out because they are fully enlightened. They
have light and through that light they see the whole world, which is
very innocent and simple for them.

This love, which cannot be described in words, has to be felt
within.That is what is being Sahaj ­ the Sahaj way.

If you have this love, you enjoy. You enjoy yourself and enjoy
everybody else because it is Sahaj. You don't have to make any
efforts, don't have to try anything. Just it is there and it works.

The feeling of love has no way of expressing itself. It is just there.
It cannot express because it is without expression. It is just to be
felt within yourself. Then you want to do so many things. You want to
help everyone. You want to help yourself. You want to do good to
others.

This is what we have to know: we are that love. That love is within us.

Einstein Illusion

"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

- Albert Einstein

She is your individual mother

..."She is your individual mother and she gives you the second birth. That's how you get connected to the divine paradise.

All this, if it is told without Realization, has no meaning.
But people were given great ideas about it and also were promised "One day your resurrection will come." It is the greatest happening for you. It is the greatest event of your life and one must consider it is very fortunate that you have been able to achieve it. All this is because you desired it.

In many of your lives you have been desiring the heavenly paradise. People have been going around in the hills and dales seeking, doing all kinds of things. That is already done by you. You do not have to give up anything.

Life is not that difficult for you. Your job is the easiest thing.
It is just to raise your hand. In your hand you have the power just to raise your hand and give them Realization instead of feeling diffident. That is why I would say you are all resurrected. You are all realized souls and you have to create the divine paradise on this Earth.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Shiva Tattwa

"So the Spirit is like the ocean which has the light in it. And when this ocean pours into the little cup of your brain, the cup loses its identity and everything becomes spiritual. Everything! You can make everything Spiritual. Everything You touch, anything, it is Spiritual. The sand becomes Spiritual, the land becomes Spiritual, atmosphere becomes Spiritual, celestial bodies become Spiritual. Everything becomes Spiritual. So the detachment from your limited brain has to be brought in. All limitations of this brain should be broken so that when this ocean fills that brain, it should break that little cup and every bit of that cup should become colourful. Colour of the Spirit is the light of the Spirit, and this light of the Spirit acts, works, thinks, co-ordinates, does everything. This is the reason today I decided to bring Shiva Tattwa to the brain."

The Essence of Love is Concern

The essence of love is concern. Even if, supposing, somebody does wrong, the concern of the Divine would be to correct that person…. The concern for the benevolence will be all the time there - whether it may appear to be sometimes cruel, might appear to be affectionate, might appear to be over-indulgent - whatever. It may take a form like a wave. Whichever way it may look … it is for your benevolence. It works not only for your benevolence, but the collective benevolence. And it knows very well what is to be done, how it is to be worked out. It does not have to go and learn from anywhere because the complete knowledge of all this know-how also is within itself. It’s such a storage of wisdom, knowledge and love, so it does not deviate.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1989

Guru Puja

Now we have to understand the importance of guru. Why should we have a guru when we have God? We’ve got Shakti, then why should we have a guru? What is the need to have a guru? Guru means the weight, the weight. We get our weight from the magnetic forces of the gravity of the Mother Earth. So guru means gravity, a gravity in a person. Why do we need a guru? Because to know God is easy, specially in Sahaja Yoga, to be one with Him. As soon as you get your Self-realization in Sahaja Yoga, the modern Sahaja Yoga, immediately you become entitled to give realizations to other. It was said that guru is the person who makes you meet the Divine. That’s not true, because any self-realized person in the Sahaja Yoga can raise the Kundalini and can give Self-realization to others, immediately after they have touched the Sahasrara or opened the Sahasrara. But normally a realized soul cannot do it. Any born realized soul cannot do it on its own, it has to have authority of Me as I am today

That’s why it was said that guru is a person who makes you meet God; he raises the Kundalini and makes you one with God. Because in those days when the gurus were self realized, when the gurus were realized, they had the authority and power of raising the Kundalini only after they had reached a very great state of evolution – complete purification, complete detachment.

Prophecies of Sahaja Yoga: The Sweet Age

Prophecies of Sahaja Yoga: The Sweet Age

The Principle of Sahaja Yoga

Prophecies of Sahaja Yoga: The Sweet Age

Before you speak

Before you speak, ask yourself:
Is it kind?
Is it necessary?
Is it true?
Does it improve upon the silence?

Sai Nath of Shirdi, (c1838 - 1918)

New Year

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. Unless a man starts on the strange assumption that he has never existed before, it is quite certain that he will never exist afterwards. Unless a man be born again, he shall by no means enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

G. K. Chesterton

This universe is make one

We have to believe in the totality, in the universality. This universe is one. God has not made them separate. All religions are one; coming from the same Source. So we believe in every religion, we follow every religion; and the whole concept of nations is also mythical. The whole world was made one, with lots of rivers, mountains, and sea.

H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (1991)

It is in you

Jesus said:
I say to you, as for what you seek after and you enquire about, look, it is in you!

Dialogue of the Savior 16

When the heart is purified

When the heart is purified with sincerity
Then even enemies become friends..
Tigers may come near but will never attack one.
Poison offered to such a one will turn into nectar,
Any harm directed towards him will result into good,
Harsh words will sound polite.
Any pain afflicted will become the source of happiness.
The flames of fire will turn cool.
For God All Merciful is pleased.
If one's heart is full of compassion,
If one loves others more than oneself,
God will look upon such a one with an eye of mercy
And bless his heart with His presence.

Saint Tukaram (1608-1660)

Nostradasmus

"With a name so timid will she be brought forth
That the three sisters will have the name of destiny;
Then she will lead a great people by tongue and deed,
More than any other will she have fame and renown.

Iqbal's vision of the new world

Sheikh Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), Urdu poet and Muslim activist who lived in British India, is regarded as one of the great poet-philosophers of Pakistan.

There is a world still lost in our breasts,
A world still awaiting the call of “Arise!”
A world without distinctions of blood and colour,
And whose evening is brighter than the morning of the West;
A world that is purged of sultan and slave,
And is boundless like the believer’s heart;
A lovely world, whose seed was cast
Into ‘Urnar’s soul by just one blessed look
A world eternal, but with ever new adventure
Ever new the products of its Master Principles;
Its interior unafflicted with change,
Its exterior undergoing change every moment.
Such a world is inside you, look!
I will tell you about its Master Principles ...

When the two will be one

For the Lord Himself, being asked by a certain person when his
kingdom would come, said, When the two shall be one, and the
outside as the inside, and the male with the female, neither male
or female.
