" But the mediocracy, to be on the periphery, not to work it out, take

it easy, not the way for Sahaja Yogis: We don't have to kill demons,

there's no need to join any war, or to fight like soldiers, as they

fought with Devi, nothing!

 

You have just take out the negative within yourself, lethargy from

within yourself, lethargy from you, work it out. We say mantras, we

know what are the powers of the mantras are, but you have to keep

them awakened, for that I have told you hundred times you must

meditate. Not the way to meditate: " Alright it's like playing golf "

sort. It's not that way.

 

It's a serious thing, worshipping the Adi Shakti, with that complete

understanding and dedication, you have to do it. Not a mechanical

thing, it's not a game, it's something very subtle and special.

In no action we can describe it, it is just a very deep feeling, to

that depth no other feeling goes. With that feeling you have to

meditate and then see the results.

 

Many people say " I have done this (technique or ritual), Mother I

have done that, I have this (catch) still! " because you are not deep

enough. It's not how much you pray, it's not how many words you use

for prayer, but it is how deeply you have touched the feet of the

Divine that is important. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
