in the Words of
iv
that humans have been given. Shri Krishna, in His life, taught us what is the essence,
what is at the core of true enjoyment: a detached, collective witnessing power, free of
guilt, attached love or self-interest. His life is an example of the sweet leela of life, and
the sweet nectar that is waiting to be discovered behind all our words and actions.
As we read through this small booklet, prepared collectively by brothers and sisters
from throughout His great lands, may we all fully imbibe some of Shri Krishnas essence
in our lives and beings... Simple things: kind words, love that is light, not clingy, freedom
from the escape of guilt or the downward spiral of self-pity, collective thinking and acting, and, like our daddy at the rivers edge, a witnessing power that enjoys, no matter
how the Play unfolds ...

As a yogi, Shri Krishna was born into a royal family, but he lived in the jungles in the
forest, with the cows, with ordinary people. He used to sleep on ordinary places. Sometimes
on the stone or on the grass, when He would go with His cows for their feeding.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 28th 1983, Geneva, Switzerland
To be playful in life
Shri Krishna was born into a very difficult situation, as you know. He was carried
from there to Gokul where He was brought up by Yeshoda. Once there He started His
playfulness.
So you have to be playful in life. You have to create fun and joy. He didnt say that
you sit down like an old sage somewhere in the Himalayas, but you mix up with children.
You talk to them, you play with them, have fun. At the same time, He was destroying
negative forces which acted upon Him. In His playfulness only He has done it. As a child
only He has done it. How matured He was as a child you can see that He killed Putana
and there are two horrible rakshasas, also He killed them. At the same time, He was
playing with the Gopis and teasing them, troubling them, making fun of them. Why?
Because He wanted them to be playful.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 20 2000, Cabella, Italy
th
Enjoyment
The collectivity that He preached through rasadena, that He brought in His, I should
say, adolescent age, was also remarkable. That He made people dance together, pray
together, to be festive and to know that. He introduced the Holi festivals and many others,
like Rakhi-Bandhan. All these He brought in because He thought this is how the society
will be cleansed, and they will also have a lot of enjoyment. So the idea of enjoyment He
brought it into the lives of people in the little childish pranks He used to play on people,
just to teach them and make them turn to something that was a very great enjoyment.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 20th 1995, Cabella, Italy
He is a master of tricks
He played so many tricks. In the Mahabharata, Bhishma had a blessing that,
unless and until He wants to die, nobody can kill him. So Shri Krishna decided that
He should use some tricks. Krishna told Arjuna to just make Bhishma sleep on the
arrows and let his body be on the arrows and so he has to decide that he will die.
So Krishna organized it in a very special way. He got a sikhandi a eunuch in front of
Arjuna. A eunuch in India is regarded as a woman, so Dhronacharya said, I cannot kill
a woman, and thats how He killed Dhronacharya. He played these tricks to get rid of
the illness is the main thing. If you are not capable to get rid of the illness - you better tell
somebody else to get rid. Because that is very important - to get rid of the evil - and if
you can transfer this to somebody else who is more capable, in your own humility, youll
10
do much better than to directly attack that person. Thats tomfoolery. No use. So this
was the trick of Shri Krishna throughout, if you have seen Mahabharata. Shri Krishna
told Arjuna that, Either you can have all of My army or you can have Me. Same He told
to the Kauravas. The Kauravas said, Well have Your army. But he (Arjuna) said, You
will be mine, Krishna. He said Youll be on our side. But He said, No, Ill be just on
the chariot. Ill not hold any weapon. But He is a master of tricks. He does not need
any weapons with Him. Without weapons also He can do everything. So Arjuna said,
All right, You be my chariot driver, and He was there.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Sep 1st 1991, Cabella, Italy
The Gita
Today Im going to tell you about Gita. That is the second part of Krishnas life,
which was so different and varied that some people, intellectuals as usual, say that the
Krishna who played as a child in Gokul was different from the Krishna who was the King
of Dwarika. So when He became the King of Dwarika there was a war between Pandava
and Kauravas one representing the good people, another representing the bad people.
So they came to ask Him if He would join their side. So He said, Ive got My army and
I Myself. So whichever you choose, you can have. So Kaurava said, Wed have Your
army, but Pandava said, Well have You. And that is how the war started and in the war
His greatest disciple was one of the Pandavas called Arjuna. And Arjuna asked Him to
fight for him. He said, I will not take any weapon in My hand, but I will be your charioteer
and drive your chariot. And when He was driving the chariot it so happen that Krishna
saw Arjunas depression and Arjuna said, What is this war? Why should I fight? Im
fighting my own gurus, those who have taught me all the vidyas of the battleship, battle
and also the vidya of archery. And Im fighting my own cousins. So Shri Krishna said, that
They are already killed, they dont exist, they are already dead people, because they are
not Realized Souls. I have already killed them. So you have to just play this drama of killing
them Kill your attachments and your relations, thats what He said. If in case they are
troubling you in your ascent. This is the message of Gita, to begin with.

2.1 Yogeshwara
The God of Yoga - the Lord of our Union with the Divine
The greatest of all the aspects of this Primordial Being was that He was the Yogeshwara. He was the God of Yoga - Yogeshwara. He was the Lord of our Union with the
Divine. Without His permission and without His sanction we cannot be Sahaja Yogis.
He was Yogeshwara and a real yogi is a person who gets this Yogeshwara awakened
within him....
So He comes on this Earth every time to establish dharma at the Vishnu level. But
at the Shri Krishna level, He comes as Yogeshwara. This is the point that many people
have not even thought of. For Vishnu they may not say Yogeshwara....
As soon as you become the spirit you get powers. One of the powers you get is of
collective consciousness that is also the gift of Shri Krishna and that you start feeling
the collectivity. Your ego and superego is sucked in, so you get rid of your karmas and
your conditionings and a new sprouting of the new life of the new age starts.

So unless and until you pass your Agnya chakra properly, you cant get to the
Virat. And Yogeshwara is the Virat. That is the aspect we have to worship.... In the same
way, we have to worship the aspect of Shri Krishna in Me, which is Yogeshwara. I am
Yogeshwara ... so today we have to know that our personal life has to be extremely
clean. We face ourselves every moment and find out within ourselves that are we
really worshipping Yogeshwara within ourselves, who resides within us? Let us develop
that purity.... Let us worship Yogeshwara with our heart. When you worship Me today,
it should be the worship of Yogeshwara and nothing else.

say, let us see now, the whole day I work for your cows and, when I come home, you
just trouble Me like this. And then He said, Now, I am your foster son, that is why you
are troubling Me like this. And she started looking at Him and then He put His hands
towards her, little hands, and He said, But I have kept some for you in my hand, though
they have eaten everything. And He put it in her mouth, so that all her temper went
away and she just embraced Him to His heart. And thats how the whole thing ends up
into a sweet drama.
When Krishna is awakened within us, we also can do all such dramas with each
other and enjoy the frolics. Then we dont lose tempers, we dont get angry, we enjoy
each others personality very much.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Nirananda part 1, May 2nd 1985, Vienna Ashram, Austria
His mother came and she took one stick and she said, Now You have eaten all the
butter. So He said, I never ate any. His whole face was filled with it. And these boys
must have put something on My mouth because they have eaten everything. So then
In the case of Shri Krishna, it was a different phase because people had become
extremely serious, very disciplined and were leading a life which was, we can say, overdharmic. And this had put the people at a fixed level and they thought that If we are doing
all these things every day then its all right. We have reached the last. So Shri Krishna
had to come Himself. Shri Vishnu, came as Shri Krishna, to tell us about the ascent and
that all this is just a play. But only a person who is a master of the play can do the play.....
For His part, Shri Krishna arranged something in His lifetime in a very simple way,
as a child. It looks, very childlike. Like when the Gopis were taking their baths, He hid
their clothes I mean Indian women are never fully nude, never He hid their saris and
all that and He could see their backs, this little boy. What is for a little boy? Hes sitting
on a tree and is trying to raise their Kundalini. Theyre coming out of the River Yamuna,
which is being vibrated by Radha. Already there are vibrations, you see, raising their
Kundalini. Then they are taking the water and He breaks their pitchers, from the back,
which have also got vibrated water in them. So the vibrated water falls on the backs of
these ladies and He tries to awaken their Kundalini. See the play of a child, how He tried
to play in His childhood, just like a child....
His power was Radha, Radha Ra, dha. Ra means energy. Dha means the
one which sustains Radha so the Dha Re Di Dha Sa Ma, as they say. In the same
way, Radha Ra Dha the one who sustains the energy. So with Her powers, He
could work out this alaahd to all the people with whom He was connected. So all the
Gopas and Gopis who were with Him had to do rasa Ra is energy, Sa means with
to dance with the energy that is Radhaji. He used to just play the flute and She used
to dance. The energy used to pass through Her hands to all the other people and the

only, He raised the Kundalini. But in modern times its very difficult. It is not easy to raise
Kundalinis in modern times in that way. I mean nobody will understand.

2.3 Spontaneity
Immediately spontaneous like Shri Krishna
Now what should the attitude be of a Sahaja Yogi towards taking decisions? One
should understand this. It should be a spontaneous decision. You dont have to tally
it with this, go there and find out immediately, spontaneous like Shri Krishna who
jumped inside the river. So in the same way, you should have a very spontaneous decision for anything.... A Sahaja Yogi has to decide everything absolutely spontaneously
at that moment.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 20th 2000, Cabella, Italy
2.4 Compassion
In the life of Shri Krishna, you can see that He had a friend who was very poor and
he wanted to meet Shri Krishna.... When he went to Shri Krishna, Shri Krishna was in
His palace and the people at the door said, No, you cant meet Him. He said, All right,
you just go and tell Him that Sudama has come.
He was sitting on the throne discussing something and He said, Sudama has
come? He rushed out and went to the door and hugged him. Hugged him again and
again and He said, Why are you standing here? He took him and put him on the
throne and He told His wives, Please come and wash his feet. Then they brought
clothes for him. He had a bath. Shri Krishna made him sleep on His bed and asked
the ladies to fan him so that he wouldnt feel hot. See the compassion of Shri Krishna.
It shows so beautifully. Are we that compassionate? There was no need for Him to do
that because there had been no drama, nothing. But His heart He took a spontaneous
decision. When He had heard Sudama was there, He just rushed to him. He just felt so
happy that My old friend has come....

2.5 Dharma
He is the integrated form of all dharmas
The greatest freewill comes from the Vishuddhi chakra, as I told you, and that is
why we call Him Yogeshwara. He is the Ishwara of Yoga. The establishment of yoga
is possible when you surrender yourself to Shri Krishna. Completely surrender yourself
to Shri Krishna your Yoga will be established. What does this mean? It means that
your balance will be established. You go into complete balance because of Shri Vishnu,
who is the incarnation for sustaining the dharma, who is responsible for giving you the
balance and becomes complete in the form of Shri Krishna.
After Realization, you go beyond dharma.... You are using the dharma first of all
to establish yourself, but when you go beyond dharma into the state of Virat, then you
dont need any dharma. You become the dharma of the Virat.
Now, what is the dharma of Virat? What is the dharma of Shri Krishna? It is collectivity.
Shri Krishna is the brain. Shri Shiva is the heart and Shri Brahmadeva is the liver. Now what
is the faculty of this brain? that the tree of life, of evolution, grows downward, as Shri
Krishna says. This tree is growing downwards from the awareness from the brain. But if you
have to go to the roots, you have to ascend. And that ascent you have achieved. Now you
have gone to the roots of your brain where all your roots are enlightened, all your nerves
are enlightened, your brain is enlightened, you are an enlightened person. When you are in
darkness you may catch hold of a snake as rope, but when you are in the light you will drop
it. In the same way, when you become enlightened, your dharma is enlightened. You dont
have to take to any guru or to any book or to anyone. You know yourself.....
At the Vishuddhi chakra, you surrender all of your other dharmas. It means that it all
gets sublimated. It all gets complete. The wholesomeness is achieved because He is collective being. He is the Virata because He is the integrated form of all the dharmas and He
is the Virata in our brain. He represents our brain. When this Virata in us is awakened fully,
then all the dharmas become natural with us. We dont have to do any dharmas. We dont
have to be conscious of any dharmas, but automatically we become dharma ourselves.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 23rd 1986, Schwarzsee, Switzerland
if you have to kill, you dont kill anybody. They are already dead because they are not
evolved souls and they dont care for their Realization. So you have to fight them. You
have to fight the negative forces. You have to fight the wrongdoers. All this He explains
in a very beautiful manner, that we have within us three kinds of powers, which we also
know, and by the middle one that we have, we rise above all these material, physical,
mental, emotional, all these problems facing us, into a new realm of spirituality. And
thats what He wanted to save from the cruel people, from the aggressive, those who
were also misleading others. Its a very good understanding, if you have that. Who is
your relation? Who is your brother? Who is your sister? Those who are evolved souls are
your relations. They are your own and, for them, if you have to fight the people who are
aggressive, you better do it. You have to do it. That is the way of dharma.

What happens really is that inside you you become a witness. You become a witness in the sense that all that is disturbing, all that is troubling you, all that is a problem,
you just start watching it, you start witnessing it, you start seeing it and you do not get
disturbed. That seeing, that witnessing state has a tremendous power. Whatever you
see without thinking, your problems get solved. Any problem you have, once you get
this witness state what you call tatasth, which means you are standing on the shores
and watching the waves move then you know how to solve the problems....
First get Self Realization and then be aware of your position. Then you will be
surprised how you develop proper attention and proper understanding. Absolutely, it is
an easy thing to do as soon as you find that you have achieved that witness state. So
please try to make yourself a witness. When you see something, go into thoughtless
awareness. That is your fort. Dont think. See the beauty that is there just pouring in.
Just watch how these trees are standing still just watching you all. See absolutely still,
nothing is moving. They dont allow even one leaf to move. Let it be. Until the breeze
starts, Mother starts the breeze, until we will just keep quiet and watch.
You are not only in joy, but you know the truth. You know the absolute truth. And
this absolute truth is the one that makes you understand what is right, what is wrong
and you develop your wisdom, not your intellect so much. You then see your intellect
misbehaving sometimes, telling you negative ideas, sometimes too much of aggressive
ideas. You can become a witness, sakshi, and thats what Shri Krishna has said. I am
the sakshi of the whole world, the witness of the whole world. See, you can go on
talking about Him, but what we have to see is where are we going wrong and how can
Shri Krishna save us not by singing, Hari Rama, Hari Krishna, like that. By becoming,
day by day, a wiser person. Wisdom gives you definite ideas as to how you have to be.

2.7 Virata
The power of the Virat becomes so tremendous, it acts globally
The Vishuddhi chakra is where Shri Krishna resides, but when He rises to your
Sahasrara, when He rises to that level, then He becomes the Virata. So the Viratas
chakra is placed in the head above the Agnya and this Virat is the form of Shri Krishna
who has risen above the Agnya. When you have risen above the Agnya, you become
a part and parcel of Viratas land, we can say, because unless and until you are above
your ego, you are still involved with yourself and with wrong ideas of maryadas. But
when you rise above that and you become the Virat, the great, then you are in the land
of the Virata. And the Viratas powers are tremendous, as was seen by Arjuna the form
of the Virat. The power of the Virat becomes so tremendous that it acts globally. It acts
in such a manner that you sit here and anywhere it can act....
The power of the Virata is that it can penetrate into the subtle side of human beings
in such a manner that everything we are is 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. You have seen how many miracles have taken place in your lives. It is the Virata
Shakti that works.

Doubtless awareness
The last is the Virat. That is the state you have to reach.... Once you get into the
Virata, then all your ideas of separating or differentiating go out. You do not have any
more ideas of races left, of nationality, of your city, of your village or anything. At that
stage, you dont belong to any place. You belong to every place and you dont belong
to every place.... Nothing bothers you because you are in the Virata state. Because
everything is absorbed by the Virata you do not feel anything. Whatever sort of
person you may be, you do not feel it. The Virata has to suffer, not you, and that is what
is the best state where I want all of you to reach and to become absolutely free. Nothing
can impress you. Nothing can influence you, nothing can dissuade you, but you stand
on your self esteem and understanding about yourself, that you are a Sahaja Yogi and
that you are connected with this power and you are a citizen of the Kingdom of God....
The whole attention should move like that. This is not only mine. It is everybodys.
It belongs to everyone. Everybody has a right. that sort of a thing. When it starts
growing from the individual, what we call vestiti tu sumestiti in Sanskrit, which is from
individual to collective. Such a personality is then the most effective one for any kind of
collective work.... I find that still there are people who do not understand that they have
to rise above the Vishuddhi chakra. If they do not ascend over the Vishuddhi they can
never be proper Sahaja Yogis. They will always be half-baked. So we must try to rise
above the Vishuddhi, the discretion part, then at that point we can never doubt Sahaja
Yoga. We can never doubt and thats how the doubtless awareness can come to us.
The other thing that we have to understand is Shri Krishna at this stage of Sahaja
Yoga, that it is the Virata Shakti that is manifesting at this time and not the Shri Krishna
Shakti which was at His time. The power that is working here is no more that of Radha
or of Mary, but of Viratangana. Thats why the knowledge of Sahaja Yogis is much wider
than the knowledge of all the saints of all the ages. But it is not deeper than them. If you
can deepen your knowledge, this wider knowledge will have proper roots within you. So
the brain is the roots. Here are the roots of the whole tree of life. Actually the Kundalini
comes up and waters the brain first so that the whole tree of life is drenched in the divine
bliss and divine knowledge.
So this Virata Shakti that we have to work out gives us the sense of collective
consciousness first. First we understand it through our brain power. But the whole
brain power is to be guided by the heart. It is to be watered, but in Sanskrit it is a very
beautiful word sinchena, like dewdrops you see, sprayed with the love of God. So the
integration of this brain has to be with your heart and with your liver. Then only the Virata
Shakti takes another form. The weapons of killing become the weapons of forgiveness.
Every sort of destructive power is used for the construction, as if it is tricked.
Like now I told them a trick, how to trick these gurus. The power that they have
can be tricked against them, as He said that their teeth must be put into their necks,
into their throats. Instead of taking out their teeth, it is better to put them back into their
own throats. And if you can do that, then there is no problem as far as their effect is
concerned because you are more powerful and more tricky.

Those who are still involved in getting to better sunshine or getting to a better
water supply or all these things that have not yet matured because the fruit doesnt
need anything any more. It doesnt need anything from the Mother Earth nor from the
elements. But it surrenders, it bends, it bows to the Mother Earth. So the Sahaja Yogi
who goes on asking questions to Mother, bringing personal problems, stupid ideas,
negativity, all those people are still not yet the fruits. The matured people are those who
surrender, who bow to the Mother Earth. So the capacity to bow is the best judgment
of yourself and leaving everything to the power of the gravity of your Mother to do every
work for you and leaving all your small little worries behind.
You have to rise above these restricting powers and achieve the completion of this
Virata Shakti, which ultimately becomes a Madhura Shakti madhura. There is no word
in the English language, but it means a sweet power. Like the fruit becomes sweet.
Thats how you all have to become very sweet. Shri Krishna tried to make everything
very sweet in the sense it was all Madhura Shakti that was acting, all His play, all His
dancing. All His stories, if you read, it is nothing but Madhura Shakti towards the Gopas
and Gopis, towards other Sahaja Yogis. So you have to keep your Mother pleased by
pleasing all other Sahaja Yogis and not other people.
The first principle is how you communicate with others. Start it at home with your
children, with your wife, with your husband, how you communicate. Are you gentle? Are
you kind? Are you dominating or aggressive? Just try to find out. It can go to any limit
this aggressiveness, for either the women or the men.... In My experience, Ive seen the
women are very dominating. In India men are extremely dominating, but here I find the
women are. Now the basics as human beings is that you should have good manners....
Now how must you communicate? Decently, with very tender and very beautiful
mannerism you have to talk to another person, talk to other Sahaja Yogis, talk to anyone. In a very sweet manner you should talk. I do not mean the French style, bending
your body and all artificial stuff not that. I am saying that if you are naturally talking
to somebody, you should talk with decent language, with decency, with humility and
need not go on jabbering all the time and talking too much. Theres no need. But on the
contrary, this was the style that was Shri Krishna. In short, His power was madhuriya,
which is the sweetness, like the honey. When you are worshiping Shri Krishna you have
to know that you must talk in a manner that will please another person.
@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 28th 1983, Geneva, Switzerland
2.8 Sweeteness
Sweet like honey
To know the technique and the trick of the technique is also another meaning
of yoga yukti.... First is that His character was madhuriya, meaning the sweetness.
We always say, Hes sweet like honey. So when He talked to anyone or He communicated with anyone, it was through sweetness. And this communication, if you
have not developed it, then you are nowhere near yoga. Everything is madhuriya for
Him, His talking, His actions, His face. Everything is madhuriya. So the second trick
is how to master your own temper and the third one is how to master the temper of
others. Thats even better.

Divine discretion
We come to the point of the Virata. Before that, we have to cross the Hamsa.
Without that, you cannot reach the Virata. So the Hamsa, as you know very well, is
the discretion, the divine discretion, which must be within you.... With this discretion,
absolutely you have a complete understanding as to what has to be done and what is
not to be done and, if that is established, a discretion is established. In many Sahaja
Yogis, I must say, discretion has come even with their left Vishuddhi. Even if they have
left Vishuddhi, they have this discretion. They know what is right and what is wrong.
With that divine discretion, the first thing that happens is that people get impressed by
you. Its real collectivity. It impresses the collectivity....
This is a very important point that one has to know, that while introspecting yourself just see if you have developed this quality of divine discretion or not. For example,
there are many I have seen who, when they come to the program, they come and tell
Me, Mother, some Sahaja Yogi told me that You have a bhoot. Have I got a bhoot in
me? I said, Not at all. How can there be any bhoot in you? He may be having, but the
divine discretion is not to tell him just now, but to remove it.

Discrimination on vibrations
He gives us the gift of discrimination. That is His style, I should say, to teach you
how to discriminate and then you will become experts on discrimination, on vibrations.
On vibrations you can get everything so clearly, so beautifully. Others may not agree
with you, thats a different point, but you know what is right and what is wrong and that
is what Shri Krishnas gift is.

Hamsa chakra is a very pivotal centre, which expresses auspiciousness in our awareness. That means if this centre is alert and awakened, then we immediately know what
is auspicious and what is not auspicious. We can say that we get the divine discretion.
I think it is a part of the genetics that people have discretion between good and bad,
destructive and constructive. It basically has to be there. But we can easily spoil it by all
these organs which are collective, the conditionings and the ego from outside. That is why
this centre is very vulnerable. Other centres are not so much connected to the outside as
this centre is connected. It receives all the information from all these organs. For example,
the eyes are very important because they say they are the window of the spirit and you
have seen that when the Kundalini rises and the spirit starts shining there is a dilatation of
the pupils. You look like an innocent child and there is a twinkle in your eyes....
What happens really is this: our eyes can be a very good door for all kinds of
bhoots to enter into our spirit and, when you start projecting it back, the same bhoots
can pass into another person and can create the same kind of vacuum or same kind of
vulnerability in the Hamsa chakra of other people. So thats why eyes have to be very,
very clean, innocent.
Shri Krishnas star is Saturn, Kshni. They say that if He gets after somebody, then
nobody can be saved.... This Saturn of Shri Krishna is a quality within us that, supposing if somebody troubles us or does something, we dont have to do anything.
Now this Shri Krishna policy, this Shri Krishnas nature, will work it out. It will inform
this all-pervading power and, through that, this man or this woman or this party or this
organization which is trying to trouble us will be hounded while we will be just sitting
doing nothing. They will be just hounded until they jump in the sea. Automatically it will
happen. But you have to know that you have the powers of Shri Krishna, by which, if He
gets after someone, then nobody can save them. He is the last one who plays around,
but He doesnt forgive. He doesnt believe in forgiveness. He says, Now, you had
enough of it. He gives a big, big long rope to hang yourself, but He never forgives. One
thing is for definite He never forgives. As you must have seen in the Mahabharata His
own judgment of things, which He doesnt forgive. He says, You have to pay. You have
to pay for it except when you transcend.
If you become a Sahaja Yogi, if you have transcended the Vishuddhi, then He
cannot do anything like that to you. But if you have not, if theres no ascent, you cannot
be saved. You cannot be saved from Him.

2.10 Destruction
People do not know the other side of Shri Krishna. Its a play, all right. But He is
Samhara Shakti. He is the power of destruction. Its very good that He is there, as He
comes with everything to protect us. He has also got Sudarshan chakra. Sudarshan
su means auspicious. Darshan is vision. He gives us auspicious visions, you see. If you
try tricks with Him, that goes around your neck and then you have auspicious darshans
of yourself, that you are hanging in the air somewhere.... But when Krishna was born,
He was born in the most horrifying circumstances. The same is the case of Sahaja Yogis
today. Its a thing of great joy and jubilation, no doubt, that He came and He gave us His
Vishuddhi power, but we must understand that we are born in a very precarious time.
Ive been saying this so many times. Theres not only one Kamsa there. So many are
there. There is a big fight going on, in that you people are here in charge. You are the
ones employed by God. You are the ones who have been given this great work. You
have powers like Shri Krishna.
This is to be understood in His life, Krishnas life, that this is the first thing that happens,
so that for you people, evil is to be finished. So what you have to pray is that, Oh Lord,
finish all the evil of the world, all the destruction of the world, all the minds which build up our
destruction. Please try to neutralize it. This is what a Sahaja Yogi should ask for.

So everybody started looking at each other, as some of the Sahaja Yogis do when
it comes to paying. They never heard it. Some of them never heard better. You see, it
is a very tricky nature. So they said, Now what to do? If we do not cure Shri Krishna,
He is just wailing and what to do? Shri Krishna said, Have some pity on Me. Give Me
some dust of your feet. So He said to Narada that You go and ask Radha to send the
dust of Her feet.
So he went to Shri Radha. Shri Radhaji was in Vrindavan and the soil of that place
is yellowish in colour like Keshar, like saffron. So he went and told that Shri Krishna is
very sick. He has got a terrible pain in His stomach. She got a fright. She said, Really?
How can that be? I cannot believe it. So what does He say? What treatment can He
take? He says anyone of His disciples, anybody of His bhakta, if they send a little of
the dust of their feet, He will be all right. He has to take that as a medicine. So She said,
All right, take the dust of My feet. He was amazed. He said, What are you doing? You
understand if you give Him the dust of Your feet, then all your punyas [merits] will be
lost. He is playing some trick, you know. Just dont try this thing. She said, Nothing
doing, you better take it. But he said, What about Your punyas and papas? She said,
I know one thing. It is He who looks after My papas and punyas. I have not to think
about it. So he took the dust of Her feet, which was absolutely yellow like a saffron or
like a pollen of the flower and he went and gave it to Shri Krishna. Shri Krishna said, I
knew Shri Radha would send, Now let me eat it. He said, You can eat, but You have
to answer the question that Shri Radha has said, that You look after Her papas and
punyas. How is it? How can it be? What does that mean that you know what is punya
and what papas are and She is not bothered about it? She has not to worry about Her
papas and punyas. He said, All right, now let me take the medicine. He took the
medicine and He said I better sleep. And Shri Narada saw the heart of Shri Krishna
opened and in the heart was the lotus of a very beautiful pink colour. On that lotus was
lying Shri Radhaji and Her feet were rubbing against the pollen of that lotus and the
yellow of the Vrindavan clay was the same colour as that. And then he realized that
when She is touching that lotus with Her feet, what does it matter if She gives the dust
of Her feet to Shri Krishna to take. She is in His heart. When Her feet are in His heart,
what does it matter? And that is how they realized that Shri Radhas love was so great
that, for Her, She did not think of dharma and adharma, but just to be at the command
of Her Lord. She acted and that is how She had a place in the heart of Shri Krishna.

When we want to see our face, we look in the mirror. Similarly, when we need to
see our spirit, we should find out how to see it within us. Many Sahaja Yogis have asked
Me, Mother, how do we see what is within us and how we are doing? For that, it is
necessary that we ourselves should become very humble. If we lack humility, we will be
clouded by our own thoughts.

business because its no good. Shaking hands doesnt create any collectivity. On the
contrary, you might get all kinds of pins and needles and all kinds of problems from
others. But, when you talk to people, also, with these hands only you can feel them.
With these hands only you can care for your children. With these hands only you can
suggest your softness, your sweetness. Your gestures and everything should show
very heartfelt emotions and then only these gestures have some meaning. I would say
that the most important things are the hands which act for your collectivity. As far as you

How can I do it after all? But mostly the people who feel guilty are a type which have lost

Above all it is the center of discrimination (Shri Mataji is pointing to Her Hamsa
chakra). The center of discrimination only comes when you are free people. Until you
have your own concept, you can not be discrete. And thats the one point where one
must understand that to achieve your complete freedom. You have to get your Vishuddhi
chakra cleared out. First and foremost the thing is that we must speak in a sweet manner,
not artificially, but sweetly. Speak in a manner that another person likes it. Speak the
truth, dont tell lies. If you go on telling lies after some time, even if you tell the truth, it will
become a lie. But if you are telling the truth, that even if you tell a lie, it becomes a truth
Ive known of people who were caught up with left Vishuddhis and have become
devilish by nature, devilish. They have gone out of Sahaja Yoga, they have criticized Sahaja
Yoga, they have tried to trouble Me a lot. So dont think that if Vishuddhi is spoiled theres
nothing so special about it. It can be a very dangerous center. Of course, the Heart, Agnya
and Vishuddhi, these three centers one has to guard against because three of them can
allow you or can force you to become one with identification of evil as your own. You
might just feel that its nice to be evil; you might just feel that it is a great fun to be evil
and you might become evil. So at the Vishuddhi chakra one has to be extremely careful.
Now some people think that they can be cunning, by their talks they can cheat
people. But actually they are cheating themselves. All such people who cheat others by
sweet talks, by artificial talks or by some maneuvering go to such a horrible state and in
this Kali Yuga specially they are cursed and they get exposed and people know about
them, that these are the greatest liars ever known. Now the times are coming when all
such people will be exposed very much more than they have been ever exposed. So
be careful not to think that you can cheat. In Sahaja Yoga specially you cannot cheat.

Theres another thing called primrose oil, that you get in this country - primrose oil,

some garlic in it, heated up one garlic piece in it thats very good for the ears. So the oil
is the one that keeps your Vishuddhi all right. Also the hair is to be oiled properly. A lot of
oil should be used before, say Saturday or something, so that when you have your bath
you clear out your oil completely. And when you get conditioners here, is a good idea,
but in India we use oil again, but you can use conditioners if you want, but make the hair
smooth with it. And then you must do again, with your own hands, a nice massage or one

Tongue
Then this connection also goes to the tongue. The tongue is looked after. Those people
have a very bad habit of suddenly saying horrible things, of suddenly saying very bad words,
or sometimes getting after somebody with the very bad remarks, all such things are very bad
for the tongue. This is what Shri Krishna doesnt like. In case you use your tongue for saying
harsh things to others, being sarcastic, being harsh on others, or using abusive words, thus
your tongue one day I dont know how it will react. It will react in different ways. God knows it
might become thick, it wont move, God knows it may be sucked inside. Thats the physical
side of it, but also mental side of it that you wont know what you are talking about. If you have
to say something, youll say something else, its possible, with your tongue. Its quite possible
that we may not able to talk, may not be able to say anything. Anything is possible if you try
to trouble your tongue like that, using it for wrong purposes. Tongue is not for, being used for
abusive things, as well as for some people try to be extra kind and gentle and this and that, to
achieve some ends. This kind of thing also is very, very much dangerous for the tongue, and
you might develop blisters on your tongues, to such an extent that people who even go on
saying harsh things to others and all that, can develop a kind of a cancer.
You people do not clear your throats, and your tongues which is another thing very
much against the Vishuddhi and that must be one of the reasons why your Vishuddhis
are bad. Though it is not fashionable here in the West, but a very important thing is to put
your two fingers in the mouth and rub your tongue in such a way that everything comes
out in the morning. This is very important because that accumulates and then it rots. So
this has to be done, and maybe you might think that this is where you make a noise and all
that, it does not matter. You have to clear out your throat and thats how you will keep your
Vishuddhis very clear. This is one of the things, and another thing is that you must always
use water as much as possible for washing when you go for your morning ablutions.
Water must be used. Paper is a very dirty and unhygienic habit, but even if you use paper,
you must use water afterwards. Its very important that all the time the water must be used
as much as possible. For Sahaja Yogis it is a very, very important thing.

Throat
The throat is very important. We should look after it. Those people who shout,
scream, ultimately can loose their power of speech, can become frantic with their problems of the throat. Specially throat can develop horrible diseases, by which your neck
can get swollen up, we call it snake disease and you feel suffocated. So when you talk to
someone, talk clearly in a sweet manner, but dont shout at a person, never. Neither you
try to show peevishness in your speech. If you are peevish then cancer can set in. So both
ways you have to be careful as you are Sahaja Yogis. You have to have this knowledge
that you will not do, bear anything nonsensical if somebody speaks, means you should
not accept it. One may say something to you, its all right. And sometimes you should tell
him off, that you were saying like this its not so. Its best is not to bear it up and to suffer.
You are not Christ, you dont have His powers. Because if you do that youll develop
cancer. So try to be in a way just in the center, watching everything. If theres aggression
or if theres recession, one of the two things. You must not give in to any of these attitudes,
but develop an attitude of standing very firmly on your own grounds.

be absolutely stiff also, the strength could be absolutely stiff. Supposing you have a

day they killed a very nice man in India for nothing at all. This idea of aggressiveness
ultimately takes you to the killing part. You cant even create one ant. How can you kill
human beings like that? Of course, this killing business is taken to the highest limit, like
Hitler believed that he was top of the world. This is same, that you just forget what you
are and you start assuming through your ego that you are something very great. Also, in
Sahaja Yoga I find recently there are some people who are saying theyre gods, theyre
deities, everything. So this ego business is actually taking energy of your intelligence,
and the greatest enemy of a human being is, is his intelligence, I think, because its so
limited, it is so conditioned, and it is so arrogant, and it is so blind.

5.4 Greed
Nothing is mine, that is the Truth
Another enemy we have is greed. I mean material greed and also human greed,
like possessing your wife, possessing your children, possessing this, possessing Mataji
also. This also must be surrendered. And this could be very dangerous in Sahaja Yoga
also. This is my carpet, this is my camera, this is my tape-recorder. Once you start
understanding what is mine is not the Truth, nothing is mine, thats the Truth. Also some
people I know of, they say that My job, or my business, or my enterprise.

5.5 Lust
Giving too much importance to the agencies of lust
Also the lust of other women and indulging into lust too much. Giving too much
importance to the agencies of lust. That creates great problems, not only for SahajaYogis, but on the whole for Sahaja Yoga also. It is expressed in both types of people;
those who are living in a very free world, as well as people who are very suppressed. I
know of people, those who are supposed to be brought up in very religious so called
atmosphere, when exposed to women, suddenly get too much attracted towards them.

5.6 Jealousy
Then the human mind has another capacity to be jealous, to be jealous of others.
This also comes from unwise understanding The stupid jealousies that you have are
as you know, of no value, neither in this world, nor in that world. The most surprising
thing is that the Sahaja Yogis feel jealous of each other!
And I still cant understand how can it be? If you are standing in the sunshine,
then you all are jealous of your shadows! Somebodys shadows are big, somebodys
shadows are small, so you are jealous of each other? Sometimes I give a present to
one person, cant give to others, then they get jealous! If I give more time to somebody, then others are jealous! I only give more time sometimes to people who really
are getting lost!
A Sahaja Yogi must have discretion if his Vishuddhi is all right. You should understand
that what Im saying is to be used discreetly, not blindly. So you can understand, without
discretion, whatever I say, how funnily you can use it so detrimental to your growth.
