Shri Mataji imparts Her Knowledge and Inspiration....

 

Today you all have decided to have the puja of Adi Shakti. There's a difference

between doing the puja of Kundalini Shakti or Adi Kundalini and Adi Shakti. The

difference is like this: on one side the Kundalini is reflected in you by Adi

Kundalini; the second side is the power of Adi Shakti which is Paramchaitanya.

So in totality, if you see, it has two sides. One is Her power as Paramchaitanya

and the other is Her reflection in human beings as Kundalini.

 

The third work that Adi Shakti had to do was to create this whole universe. You

have also seen [i.e. heard] yesterday how the cosmos was created and how this

special planet of Mother Earth was then created. Now what I have told you about

Adam and Eve? We have found out, also said by John in his Gnostics book. (It's

very surprising. They always told that Christ must have said many things, but

they are not in the Bible). So, you understand, this Adi Shakti came as a

serpent--the Adi Kundalini part of Her--and told Adam and Eve, especially Eve,

that she should ask for the fruit of knowledge to be eaten. The reason I gave

you, is exactly written there: that the Mother power, the Feminine Power, didn't

want Her children to live like animals without understanding what is the

knowledge of the higher realms, not giving them a chance to rise higher through

their freedom and then to higher and higher awareness. It was the concern of the

Mother.

 

So two types of worlds were created, one was a divine [world]; the other started

evolving. To look at it, it looks like a very tremendous task. Thousands and

thousands, billions and billions of years have passed for this kind of a work to

be done. But if you see, in the modern age, we are going to the moon with such a

small effort, and also with such a little time you reach there. Nobody could

think that we'll ever be there. All this has happened through the human brain.

 

Now what is the human brain after all? The human brain is not at all anywhere

near the brain of the Virata, nor is this used fully. A very little bit is used

by human beings, by which they have achieved this kind of flight to the moon. Of

course, there is no purpose in it. I don't know why they are doing it, but they

did it. So the whole nature was created by Her. Whatever you see today around

yourself, is all created by Her, is all Her work.

 

At this time, you had to have your realisation. That was decided by the 'Divine

Collectivity'--you can call it. All the Gods, Goddesses, all of them, decided to

put this work on somebody whom they thought to be very capable. So they said:

" We all will be with you, entirely with you. All our powers will be with you,

but you take up this job now in this Kali Yuga, to transform human beings. "

 

In a way, human beings are more difficult than animals because they have their

own freedom, and they have been given this freedom to achieve their final

freedom. In their freedom, the way they behave is something very surprising--how

they go completely out of control and try to do things which are so destructive.

Of course, regarding Kali Yuga, it was predicted in India, but I think they

could not predict what would happen in America or [other] western countries

where people have the freedom just to destroy themselves--and they're finding

new methods of destroying themselves. This tendency cannot be curbed, cannot be

stopped by Adi Shakti or by God Almighty, because you have been given the

freedom to ruin yourselves, spoil yourselves and go to hell. That cannot be

controlled by any divine power, as the divine power also respects your freedom.

 

So the Divine Collectivity thought: " Are we going to completely ruin the

creation of Adi Shakti? Are we going to completely destroy whatever She has

created and then recreate something better? " --this was the discussion going on,

and most of them were so fed up with the human beings, especially with the

'western freedom' that they said: " These people want hell, and why should we

give them the heavens? It's not proper. "

 

So, the first thing that the Adi Shakti did was to create a 'seeking' in them.

She created this 'desire to seek' and so, these people, belonging to this

culture which was so destructive, started seeking, and when the seeking started,

as usual, there were many others in the market who came forward to give answers

to their seeking. They had to go to various cults and things, and false people

and all that, because they had no way to know [the difference]. But, if they had

read some books of enlightened people like Kabir, Nanak, the Gnostics, their

scriptures--anything like that, they would have understood what is the truth,

and 'where' and 'how' to find it.

 

I find it is a big step, between the people who are seekers and those who are,

not at all, seekers. They don't want to know, and they can never be seekers. I

can assure you that some of them will never think of seeking. They'll get

possessed, they'll have diseases, they'll have earthquakes, they'll have

anything, [but] they will never seek. Even if they get diseases, they'll say:

" Oh, we are martyrs. We are doing a great work. " Such stupidity has come into

their heads that they think by doing these wrong things we are going to be

saved--and this stupidity comes through the perverted brains, and this perverted

brain acts when people are free to use [it that way]. I just don't know! Why

don't they see around for themselves, and see what is happening? So to expect

that the whole world will go to heaven is absolutely not possible. It's not

possible. It cannot.

 

But those who are seekers, are so ardently seeking that they will all have to be

given their self-realisation. Now this is, of course, My job; i agree. I have

come on this Earth for that job. I am supposed to do it. I am trying My level

best and no incarnation has lived like I have lived, for so many years and

[with] such compassion of Mine which really makes Me live--that I feel we have

to have many more Sahaja Yogis. We have to have a big salvation. With that

compassion and with that love, one can take to any measures; anything. I think

that those who are not seekers, will not achieve it.

 

Now why is it that some are seekers and some are not? One may say that the Adi

Shakti, if She has created all the human beings, all of them should have

seeking! [it's] because in their freedom, they have lost their way. They are

seeking something else--and they think they're right, that they have a right to

think that they're right. Even a 'stupid' fellow, even a 'mad' person thinks

he's right! If you tell him, " You are mad, " he will say, " You are mad! " And this

seeking--though put into them; they are not yet capable.

 

[However], so many are achieving it in the proper way--through surrender--not of

one's freedom, not of one's intelligence, but by surrendering the ego that has

developed in human beings. With this ego, I've seen that even people who are

'possessed' want to keep that ego intact, and through that ego, they want to use

the 'possessions'. Can you imagine? There are 'possessions' of negative forces.

Such people want to keep that intact, so they can use that for their own

purposes. They don't hate it. They don't want to get rid of it, but they want to

keep it just because they can use these 'possessions' for their use. So, the

category of seeking is much less there.

 

But there are many who are nowhere near seeking, who are really, what we

call--'the evil people'--and they never want, never, never would want, this

world to change. Our media is dominated by these evil people. They don't want

the world to change. They don't want to show anything that is good. They don't

want to see the point that is going to help - what is benevolent for human

beings.

 

So on one side you see such collective negativity. On another side, we find

seekers who are real seekers. Some seekers are half-baked and others are

pseudo-seekers, [who] if in the name of seeking they have done, say, some sort

of a sacrifice, they consider themselves very great. These also get involved

with people who are claiming [things]. Because I have never claimed anything,

they're not impressed by Me: I have not changed my dress; I live like a

housewife, so they're not impressed by Me. I have not developed two horns to

show something great about Myself. So, they won't be impressed.

 

But on the other side, if you see--this is 'Maya', this is 'Mahamaya' where the

Adi Shakti does everything like the human beings do. You won't be able to find

out that She's 'Divine'. My family people could not find out until I started

this work--none of them, except for my father and mother. Nobody could find out

that I had any powers, even! Such insensitivity to the Divine [i.e., the Divine

Incarnation's presence on Earth] can be created by the Mahamaya power of the Adi

Shakti, which is very important. Otherwise, you cannot judge [from your own

inner Self], you cannot understand [from your own inner Self].

 

Despite that, [i.e., despite Shri Mataji knowing Herself] I have many times

misjudged people, because they know how to camouflage [themselves] for a while,

but then I discover [their camouflage]. If the seeking is ardent and they are

really seeking the Truth, they will find it, no doubt, because the whole

creation is for them. The whole universe is for them. All the deities are for

them. All the angels are for them. They are all looking out for them.

 

This is important that we have so many Sahaja Yogis. Nobody had so many Sahaja

Yogis in their lifetime because we have to have channels. I have to have

channels and these channels have to be very clean, very beautiful, innocent and

benevolent. If they only surrender to this fact 'that we are here as instruments

of God Almighty and that we have to give benevolence to others', I tell you, at

least seventy percent of the work is done. But, even if they have got their

realisation, like a [bird] comes out of the shell, some of the birds still carry

a part of the egg, and some of them do not even grow up to be birds. Now, we

have to judge ourselves. We have to understand ourselves.

 

Another thing, you know, is that I'm a very mild person, very mild. People think

I'm very forgiving. I know everyone, not that I don't know, but I allow: " All

right, go ahead as far as you can go. " Experience is the only way a human being

can understand - no doubt. If you tell him something, he will never understand.

Experience of self-realisation has made you understand, but again I would say,

that we cannot give realisation to the whole world. We cannot. [some] are like

stones, absolutely horrible people. Whatever is happening, those who are false

are getting exposed, and everybody is noticing that they are getting exposed.

 

This exposure, of course, will save them from these horrible people, but I don't

know if they would come to Sahaja Yoga, or if they would take their realisation.

I am telling you this, because now, I too have experience of human beings, and

all these years that I have been working, I have seen that there are people, and

people, and people. Out of them, the seekers are extremely proud of their

seeking [to the extent that] some of them don't want to give up their 'seeking'.

It's a kind of job--you can call it--a hobby; they are seekers. Now, that they

have a certificate of being a seeker, they will wear funny clothes, have funny

houses, funny hair, everything. They could be recluses, aggressive, anything:

" We are seekers. " They take a certificate upon themselves that, 'We are

seekers.' This is another quality of seekers also. For them it's kind of their

lifestyle: " We are seekers " and wherever they go, they will " go for seeking " .

They'll go to ten or twenty places and every time they have argued with Me that,

" Mother, there must be some more ways of--- " " Yes, maybe. I don't know of any.

You can go. "

 

Now, the main job of Adi Shakti today is to give realisation to people. That's

my main job. All the rest is looked after, is already managed, I should say

'like a computer'. I don't have to worry. It's a reflex action. Whatever is

happening is 'in a reflex action'. I don't have to worry about these things.

Like people might say, " Mother, I prayed to You, and how is it You help me so

much? " It's all reflex action. At that time maybe that thought may come to

Me--thought--but it's a reflex action. I really don't do anything. Actually, I

am Nishkriya, not doing anything whatsoever, the laziest person you could think

of, Me. Really, because if there's a complete organisation working for Me, why

should I work? Nothing's necessary but one thing: I'm witnessing and when I'm

witnessing, that acts on the reflex. That works out the Paramchaitanya, because

if that is the power of the Adi Shakti, then whatever I witness gets reported to

that power. We have electricity power [which] is the other way round. So,

something goes wrong there, it is not reflected to that power. It finishes off

here and there. But if I witness something, it is the other way round. I don't

have to do anything, I'm just a witness. I'm just watching. The whole thing acts

through this tremendous power of Paramchaitanya.

 

Now, this power you do not know. You know Kundalini. You know all about the

chakras, but this power of Paramchaitanya is in every particle, in every atom

and it acts in such a manner that it directs, it pushes you, it takes you to the

path of benevolence. Sometimes people say [for example]: " Mother, I wanted to

buy this shop. I couldn't get it " and all that. It is for your benevolence that

you didn't get it. Thank God. After ten days they'll come and say, " Thank God I

didn't get that. "

 

So gradually through experience, you start understanding that we don't have to

worry. If you are lost on the way, normally people get very upset, but Sahaja

Yogis don't: " Oh, very nice. Must be something here that God has brought us

here. " This action slightly then changes. I would say the person who is

overactive starts thinking. " Now surrender. Islam. Give this problem to this

Paramchaitanya. " And it works. Such tremendous things have happened in this

world just by bandhans that it is unbelievable how these things are happening.

Even supposing you find there are so many murders; this thing has happened, that

thing has happened. [if you give a bandhan/surrender it to the Paramchaitanya

they can cease]. This is also just to express the presence of the

Paramchaitanya[/the All-Pervading Power]. It's the 'Krita' that is working out.

It's the way it works. " Krita " means the one which is done. Then you start

realising that you can achieve this power through your Kundalini.

 

So when your Kundalini rises, that is also a reflection of the Adi Shakti, like

we can say, we see one part of the moon; then another part we don't see. In the

same way, when this power rises within you and touches this Paramchaitanya, then

you become empowered by that. That's how you are Sahaja Yogis--but you are not

God. The [Divine] Incarnations can say: " I am God. " You are not Incarnations,

but none of the Incarnations have ever said that they are the Adi Shakti; [they]

cannot [say so].

 

This power of the Adi Shakti, which we call Paramchaitanya, is the power that

loves you, and has complete control of the nature. It understands. It thinks. It

knows everything. It knows everything about you. It works in every angle, every

walk of your life. It is with you entirely as if, supposing you fall into a

river which is flowing fast and you cannot swim anymore, you cannot use your

hands anymore--you can start flowing with it and then you realise that flowing

with it is better than trying to get out of it. But just flowing with it. Just

enjoying it--all the nature around you. You don't get drowned. On the contrary,

you feel you are elevated and you're flowing with it--and then you understand:

" What am I to do about something, when it's done by Paramchaitanya for me? " But,

it should then be given to your Kundalini, which has worked it out, has put you

onto that shore, has put you onto that beautiful, heavenly Kingdom of God.

 

Thus, there are two things that have happened. Your Mother, your Kundalini that

is within you, which is your own Mother, [she] has been with you throughout, and

has given you this [second] birth, and then It has taken [you] to that power,

which power you can use yourself. You're empowered by that. You'll be amazed how

this power helps! I mean, I shouldn't say that you can have all the powers. I

shouldn't say that, but today you see, they were complaining about somebody.

Immediately I told them the name of the person. Now, you'll say 'how [did] I

know?' I knew. I just know. That's all I can say. I just knew. Supposing you are

dealing with carpets. So you know what pattern this or that is, where it has

come from, everything [about it]. If you are there, you know everything. [in the

same way], if you are there, you know everything. If this power is everywhere,

one has to know everything. The connection is such. If you want to know, you can

know anything.

 

So, they have also called Buddha as 'Sarvalokektashrwara'--that He sees all the

Lokas. How does He see [them]? 'Sarvalokektashrwara', because His ego--what we

call the 'Parama-ego', you can call it 'Mahatahamkara', knows everything, while

your ego doesn't know anything. Because it doesn't know anything, you are

enveloped by it. If the ego had known what is the truth, you would be free

birds, absolutely free--but you don't want to surrender your ego! You don't want

to allow yourself to flow into the river as 'Tao'..., He said. 'No, you don't

want to enjoy. You want to have your own speciality.' Individuality is very

different from having a kind of an ego within yourself 'that I am this; I am

that'. So this differentiation must start. After realisation, in the light of

realisation, you should start seeing things.

 

Now, the first and foremost thing is to tell your ego to sit down. " Keep quiet.

You don't mind. " Ego makes a person absolutely stupid. In Marathi, you see,

thank God language is so rich that anybody who starts showing off his ego, they

say he's climbing on a bush. There's a little bush and he's climbing on that.

All this ego comes through your own so-called ideas, achievements. But what are

these achievements? You don't know anything and this is what today I have to

tell you that if anything is working out today, [it] is your surrender of your

ego. If you know how to surrender your ego, you'll work it out.

 

Unless and until there is a big space in the pitcher, what water can flow into

it? Have a very large heart. Small, small things can make the life so beautiful,

and there are also very big things there for you. If you do not think you are

very big--all these big things are also [there] for you! It's like this: this

whole sky can be covered by one leaf. If you see the leaf against the sky, the

leaf shows its existence. In the same way, this whole vision of Sahaja Yoga can

be completely covered by one person who stands with this great expanse; one

person here and one person there. It's so remarkable.

 

With such a lot of 'Sahaja Yoga' there are people who are here, there, and

[everywhere]. So remarkable, that if you take their names also, I just feel I am

drenched into the Ocean of Joy. 'Only one person--then what about you? Why can't

we do that?' When the Adi Shakti is with you, reflected--when all Her powers are

with you, how much we can do! In this expanse of My Vision, I want to have more

and more people who will be of some visions themselves, but not small people who

just think of their children, think of food. No, no, they are not wanted.

Useless, they will all drop out.

 

I hope you have understood where you are, what you have. What is created within

you is this Kundalini which has given you all the knowledge, everything. But

there are so many, I know--they don't even know what this chakra is, they don't

know - I mean, going to that limit of ignorance! You have to know all these

things. You have to understand what it is, because all this knowledge is for you

- for all of you. And the greatest of all is the faith. Not a faith which is

blind, but the enlightened faith that you are now 'One with that Divine Power.'

This should really settle [within] you completely.

 

This, I think, is one of the most important pujas because, so far,

Guru Pujas have been there - so many people were worshipped as gurus or maybe My

Birthday [was worshipped], as you think it to be. It's all right. But, I think

to understand your own powers of Kundalini and your powers that are available to

you, through the working of Paramchaitanya, is very important! That will give

you confidence, that will give you compassion, that will give you a Vision and

that will make you a very great personality--very great personality.

 

What was George Washington? They said he was great. What was Abraham Lincoln? He

was great. But you are all having your self-realisation. You have to think of

the whole universe, the whole expanse. Unless and until that brain develops in

you, I'm sure, very sure that the progress of Sahaja Yoga, within and without,

will be less. So, understand these powers are with you. You have to utilise them

with humility.

 

May God bless you.
