The best gift is a surrendered heart!

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

In Christianity i grew up being taught that the best thing we can give to the

Divine is a surrendered heart. However, i guess some Sahaja Yogis just could not

stop giving material gifts to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, so much so, that She

already did not know what all to do with these gifts! Please enjoy the humour in

what Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi gave here, about receiving too many gifts, and not

knowing what to do with them all, and about receiving so many flowers that Sir

C.P. believed that they may have to move out of the house, to make room for the

flowers!

" Now another [request] is that you shouldn't give me any more presents, you see

just see this house, it is filled with sixty five percent things are presents, I

don't know what to do with them, I cannot sell them, I cannot give it to anyone,

I cannot wear them, I don't know what to do now I will have to build three more

houses, it will be going in the museum so there's no need at all to give me any

presents whatsoever, you want to give me flowers are the best, that so also not

so many that my husband was saying that, we both better get out of the house and

let the flowers live in the house, that's going too far, so I mean that you love

me I know, that you are very kind to me and you are very sweet and you feel that

so many people love me, its so joy giving, you have no idea my joy has no

bounds, I cannot express to you see that how, how much it is from all sides, I

feel the flowing of joy and the pouring in joy is such a lot and I enjoy all

this that you love me so much, but you must also love yourself and respect

yourself that you are Sahaja Yogis, that's all I have to say and to wish you

very, very happy Christmas and a very prosperous and very dynamic new year. "
