Shri Krishna

in the Words of

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi


the Mother of the Universe

But when He says surrender all these dharmas


He is meaning to say you should only know what
you owe to Me meaning the Divinity.
Now Shri Krishna is not here. It is Me who is Shri Krishna,
so you must know what you owe to Me. I have only changed
My language. He used to take out His finger and say
give up everything and surrender everything to Me.
I dont do it that way, I give a big lecture and
bring you to a point
H.H. Shri Mataji, Vishuddhi Chakra, Sep 4th 1983,
Vienna, Austria

The mommy perches, arrow-straight, on the bank of the


sunny river ...
Straining to see her young son playing with a small net in the low water, she feels
his aloneness, the lack of playmates at his side. Her heart is captured by his attempts
to scoop up minnows, saddened by the sight of his empty, dripping net, as he struggles
to pull it, hopefully, up over his head, time and time again. The result of his play is only
dirty feet and a wet shirt. Her thoughts only call for a little friend for her son. Her heart
only wishes that he could capture one little fish!
The daddy rests against a large rock in the shade, enjoying the easy way the cool,
shallow water navigates its rocky path in the riverbed. He glances with amused interest
at his young boy, so self-content at the rivers edge. With such satisfaction he plays in
nature! He delights in the hopeful way the little one flings his small net high above his
head, sending rivets of cool water down his soft arms, then pitches it back into the
clear stream, time and time again, never losing hope. His heart aches with the joy of this
quiet, determined play, with the beauty that is everywhere around him!
Shri Krishna challenges us to do what our Divine Mother Shri Mataji invites us to
do in every moment, of every day: just enjoy. Why can this enjoyment, this detached
witnessing of the Divine Play, sometimes prove so difficult for us? What is hard in simply
witnessing this play that the Goddess Herself has scripted, cast, designed and directed
for all of us?
Shri Krishnas life, from our studies of it, as well as what Shri Mataji has told us,
both formally and informally, is the greatest example of this detached witnessing power

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 ...

Shri Krishnas Life

First it is important to understand the incarnation of Shri Krishna. The word


Krishna comes from the word Krishi. Krishi means agriculture. Shri Krishna has sown
the seeds of spirituality, and for that, first of all, He had to think, Where are we as far as
spirituality is concerned. How is the land?

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Virata Puja, Sep 5th 1999, Cabella, Italy

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.

It is not easy to understand Him


Shri Krishna is the one who was Virat, who fought all kinds of evil without entering
into the arena. Shri Krishnas life is itself, is a very beautiful, creative and loving thing. But
to understand Him, it is not easy.
Shri Krishna has described a personality, which is a sage, we can call Him a saint
or He called it a sthita prag. So when asked what is the definition of the sthitha pragya,
the description He gave was about a person who is absolutely at peace with himself
and at peace with his atmosphere. It is very surprising, all this knowledge He gave in the
first place, in the Gita that is. That is the best. That He called as the gyanmarga, that is
Sahaja Yoga, by which you get the subtle knowledge. But at the same time, when you
see Him advising Arjuna, it is very surprising that here He is talking only of spirituality, of
complete detachment, and He is telling Arjuna that, You go and fight. They are already
dead people, whom are you fighting? This conflict is difficult to understand, that how
could Shri Krishna, the same person who is preaching that you have to all become
sthitha pragya, suddenly starts telling Arjuna that You go and fight the foes? On one
side it is complete detachment and on another side it is war. How will you explain this?

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Jul 29th 2001, Canajoharie, USA

He is totality, but He doesnt give total knowledge


As a Mother, I have to warn you that nothing will work out unless and until you are
a realized soul. Nothing will work out. Now, for Realization, He has said, You have to
become. But He didnt say at that time how you will become, what will work it out.
Because you see, sort of, if you go to college, all the knowledge is not given in first
year. Something is given, then something in second year, then in third year. Now in the
seventh year. Now Sahaja Yoga has come to tell you everything, totally. He is totality, but
He doesnt give total knowledge. The whole knowledge of Gita is nothing but a trick that
He has played with human beings who were stupid, and would never have understood
Him if Hed told them about Sahaja Yoga.

Divine Aspects of Shri Krishna

We have to work out everything within us because we are conditioned, we are


in an atmosphere. I would request all of you to try to understand these subtleties of
Shri Krishnas personality. Try to become like that extremely peaceful, extremely kind,
tender, helpful. And in humility, He had no consciousness of money. Nothing. And also,
as you know, He was a dark person for some reason, but the way He led his life should
be an example for us....
Today is the puja of Shri Krishna. I need not tell you how many qualities He has,
as I told you, but the greatest quality He has is that He is the doctor of doctors. Now,
in His name you will know how many qualities He has and you will understand. Try to
understand that we have to have these qualities within us also. Whatever qualities are
described or said, try to see how many we have. Thats the way the introspection will
start. Once you start introspecting yourself and understanding yourself, the wisdom will
grow not by seeing faults in others, putting blame on others, but on yourself. That is
how the things will work out. Though Krishna didnt have to do that because He was
Sampurna, He was complete. But we have to do all this to see that we also become
complete.

Yogeshwara is the Virat

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.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 15th 1982, Chelsham Rd, London, England

He is detached absolutely. He is complete.


The greatest quality of Yogeshwara is that He is not at all involved in it. He is detached
absolutely. If He eats His food, He does not eat it. If He speaks, He does not speak. If He
sees, He does not see. If He hears, He does not hear. It has no effect on Him. He has no
retention on it, no action on it. Whatever He is, He is complete.... That is how one has
to be, complete in oneself complete confidence in oneself. But the confidence should
not be confused with ego. But confidence is complete wisdom, is complete dharma. It is
complete love, complete beauty and is complete God. That is what it should be....
Give up the responsibility to Shri Krishna. So the complete integrated Divinity will
start expressing through you. That means if you say that you have to be responsible,
then He says, All right go ahead, try. But if you say that You are responsible. I am just
an institution or an instrument in Your hand, then you start manifesting it well and that is
how your Vishuddhi chakra gets opened out. This is just some part of the Yogeshwara
that I have spoken to you.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 28th 1983, Geneva, Switzerland

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.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 15th 1982, Chelsham Rd, London, England

He is the Ishwara of all the yogis


What is the speciality the greatness of Yogeshwara? He is the Ishwara of all the yogis.
And what is His capacity? What is His nature? For Him everything is a play - a leela.
When I see people, young people, doing all these things I wish they could understand the value of their lives, the esteem of their lives. Their Ishwara is Shri Krishna. Hes
not the Ishwara of everyone, only of yogis. He is only available to you. He is only your
Ishwara. He manifests only for you. He is your own. So He is actually your own king,
who is always there, looking after you. When you call Him, He comes with all His powers
to support you. But you have to be a yogi. If you are not a yogi, who is of course certified
by Lord Jesus Christ, then Krishna has nothing to do with you.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 15th 1982, Chelsham Rd, London, England

2.2 Playfulness / Leela


He is the Leeladhara, the one who plays the leela
Shri Krishna came up to show that He is the Leeladhara the one who plays the
leela, the play. Leeladhara is the one for whom this whole universe is a play. He is
at the axis and for the whole periphery. It is nothing but a play. Except for your spirit
everything is false. Its all a joke going on, you can say, a drama going on, nothing so
serious. The spirit is the only truth within us the rest is all untruth. There cannot be
many types of truths you see. In the Sanskrit language, there is only truth or untruth,
satya or asatya, there are no ten words for truth.

It is all the play of God


He was a very important advent, but I dont know how many people understand
that. He came to show us that its all a leela, it is all the play of God. What is there to be
serious? What is there to be ritualistic? You cannot bind God in any rituals. Thats why He
came on this Earth, to tell you that you should not try to bind yourself by rituals, which
are nonsensical. This was His teaching so many years back. He taught this six thousand
years back, but still, if you see every religion today, there are so many rituals going on.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 6th 1988, Garlate, Italy

She saw the whole universe moving in the Vishuddhi chakra


In His childhood He was very fond of butter. He would go and make His friends
help Him and make a pyramid out of them. He would climb up and break the butter
container and would eat all that butter like a little baby. So one day His mother said,
All right, why did you eat the butter? He said, I never ate it. She said, Then what is
this on your mouth? He said, This is what all these boys have put on my mouth. You
see, to Him, even telling such little, little lies was also a fun with the mother. He would
go to that extent.
So He told her a lie. See now, these people have put it on my mouth. They have
eaten all the butter and now I am the one you are catching! you see. So she said,
Really? Open your mouth. So He opened His mouth and then She saw all this. [Shri
Mataji points to the solar system which is part of the puja decoration backdrop] in the
mouth. The whole universe moving in the Vishuddhi, the complete Vishuddhi chakra
she saw and she just bowed to Him. Then He said, Why are you bowing to me? as if
nothing has happened....
Now stealing is supposed to be bad but He was stealing only the butter of His
mother that she had made them. And He used to steal the butter of all the ladies who
used to take it down to Mathura, where Kansa was ruling. This butter was eaten by all
the rakshasas there and they were becoming very powerful. So He thought, Best thing
is to go and eat all the butter so that these ladies wont be able to go and sell it.

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

The play of a child

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

Kundalini would be awakened. So this was another play that He had. So in the play
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

Dharma is an evolutionary process of human beings


What you have to do is to save the dharma not the dharma that people talk
about, but the dharma which means the evolutionary process of human beings, which
is going on and, if all the good people who stand for righteousness are finished, then
how will this evolutionary power will be saved? So you have to save them and for that,
21

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.

2.6 Witness state


He creates drama, He acts in the drama and He is the spectator
Shri Krishna is the one who is an expert of drama. He creates drama, He acts in
the drama and Hes the spectator also. In these three forms you should see yourself.
You create the drama of yourself, Aha this one now, see now, how Im acting here.
Then you become the spectator also.... It is I think a more evolved state now than it was
at the time of Shri Krishna because He talked only to one Arjuna. Now Im talking to
thousands about this knowledge. At that time, He just talked about it at the time of war. I
am talking at the time of peace. And its much more evolved because Shri Krishna didnt
give him Realization. But you have got the Realization. Youve got the knowledge. You
know everything. You have all the subtle ideas.

You should only know what you owe to Me


When Shri Krishna says surrender all these dharmas, He is meaning to say you

not here. Its Me who is Shri Krishna, so you must know what you owe to Me. I only changed
My language. He used to take out His finger and to say that give up everything and surrender everything to Me. I dont do that way. I give a big lecture and bring you to a point.

The building up of the spiritual sense is our work


It is natural to be a Sahaja Yogi. This is also built within us. For example, a seed
is a seed. When it is a seed, we call it a seed. All right, naturally it is to be a seed, but
then it sprouts and becomes the tree. So it is also natural in a seed that all that future,
all the thousands of trees it is going to be, is also in that seed. Now as you know, they
are experimenting that in one seed you can get a minimum of thousands of little, little
sprouts in one seed which can all be made into trees or plants. This is a new thing that
has come up. So when He said that you have to become a stitha pragya what He was
trying to say was that you should achieve your balance. Now He told that there was
a war on. When they were warring, you have to do it. If you have to war with people, if
you have to kill them its all right. But afterwards, once that is over, then what you have
to do is to build up your spiritual sense. Now the building up of the spiritual sense is our
work and that is what we have to do not only dharma.

Watch everything as a spectator


Like even if you think everything is a play, what happens is that your attitude
towards it is like a spectator. You see the whole thing as a spectator. Like in a drama
you sit down and you watch everything as a spectator, but you know what part is being
depicted is a tragedy and what part is a comedy.... You have a sense of discretion as to
know what is a comedy and what is a tragedy. But if you are an actor, then to you it is
not a comedy or a tragedy. It is a work for you. If youre acting, then youre acting and
you are an actor.Youre involved in it.

Standing on the shores, just watching the waves move

I am the sakshi of the whole world

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.

As a yogi, your state of mind should be ethereal


He was a sakshi which means that He had the capacity of witnessing the whole
world as a play.... Now this capacity in Him to witness has to be seen in every yogi. The
element He controls is ether. We call it as akasha in Sanskrit. This ether, as you know,
we are using now for our television, for our radio, for every sort of a collective work. So
we have to be in charge of the ether element, as yogis. And that is the subtlest of all,
in the sense that you permeate into everything with that.... The negativity cannot enter
into ether. When you enter into your ethereal zone, you actually enter into the area which
is thoughtless awareness. So to achieve your ethereal state, you have to expand your
thoughtless awareness. The sustenance of that is done by Christ, by the spirit.
So you can realize now as a yogi that your state of mind should be ethereal. And
what should be the state of your superego? This is the ego part of it, that you should be
in the ethereal state, and, as a superego, you should see it as a play. You should see the
play of the negativity. Negativity will run away, but dont get involved into it, dont play
into their hands. Then the negativity will separate from you. So the ego and superego
both rise from the Vishuddhi chakra. They can be receded from the Agnya chakra, but
are to be sucked in the Vishuddhi.

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

Virata Shakti: the sense of collective consciousness

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.

Egoless intelligence, the pure intelligence


Ultimately, Shri Krishna becomes the brain. Thats what I told you, that the fat of the
stomach goes into the brain. So Shri Narayana enters into the brain and becomes what
we call as the Virat, Akbar. When He becomes Akbar, then He is the brain in the big
macrocosm. He is the brain, so people who worship Shri Krishna become brainy people
without ego. Their brain develops and they have no ego about it. Egoless intelligence,
which I call as the pure intelligence, starts manifesting.

Viratangana Shakti: the power of maturity up to the fruit


The Virata Shakti has now taken that form so you are the fruits, that Viratangana
Shakti. Because you are so valuable, those people who wanted to ruin or to destroy the Divine
Power from this Earth will start thinking that they have to gain something out of these fruits....
You have to become that. The biggest thing one has to know is to bend down
towards the Mother Earth, to be humble. Absolutely, the humility inside out is really
going to give you the complete value of Sahaja Yoga fruits.... Only fruits which bend
down are accepted as good and matured fruits and not those who assert that they are
the highest.... But the matured fruit shows its humility by its weight. That is the Guru
Tattwa weight. So from the Viratangana power we get the power of maturity up to the
fruit and then we become blessed by the Guru Principle.

Madhura Shakti: when the fruit becomes sweet

The principle of communication

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.

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.

The peace within expresses, first of all, the peace with others. This is the first sign
of the manifestation of peace. Such a person doesnt use harsh words, does not use
cruel words. But he is also not a person who is ineffective. He is very effective, using
very sweet and nice words. Maybe he begins by using harsh words, then he mellows
down and comes down to a position where he is effective as well, as he is very mild and
sweet. Such a personality has to be developed outside.
So the peace should be with your brothers and sisters. They are all born out of my
Sahasrara and nobody has the right to insult, to be sarcastic. Saying things which are
harmful. That is not friendship. It is a kind of very subtle enmity that you are carrying on
in your hearts that cannot be forgiven. If you say sarcastic things to others, you are not
in the culture of universal religion. You should be respectful. The more respectable you
are to each other, the better will be.

Diplomacy is for the benevolence of the spirit

Divine discretion

What is the essence of diplomacy? It is benevolence. You have to achieve the


benevolence of the whole of humanity. This is the essence of it. If you are doing it, you
are not doing it for yourself, for your own gain. You are not doing it for the gain of any
particular person, but you are doing it for the benevolence of the whole of humanity. So
once you know that this is the essence, what is the need to shout? By shouting you are
not going to achieve anything.
So discipline doesnt mean something very dominating of one person or two persons. Discipline means that whatever we do has to be for the benevolence of your spirit
and the spirit of others. This is what is the Sahaj discipline, where you do everything for
the benevolence of others and for the benevolence of your own ascent. Once you have
established this idea of hita, of this benevolence, you have known the life of Christ, the
life of Mohammed, the life of all these great people.

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.

is what Shri Krishnas gift is.

Shri Krishna and Shri Jesus Christ at the Hamsa chakra


This Hamsa chakra is the one that, as if it has not gone up to the Agnya, but is
holding on certain threads or certain parts of the Ida and Pingala. And they start flowing through your nose, expressing through your eyes, from your mouth and from your
forehead. So you know that the Vishuddhi chakra has got sixteen petals, which look
after the eyes, nose, throat, tongue, teeth. But the expression part of it comes through
the Hamsa chakra....
On one side, we have the help of Shri Krishna to give us the discretion and, on
the other side, we have Christ. In between is placed this Hamsa. So we have two great
incarnations within us who are the embodiment of discretion. One side is Shri Krishna,
who is the one who looks after the conditioning side of it. And on the other side is Christ
who starts looking after the ego side of it.

Hamsa chakra expresses auspiciousness in our awareness

He does not believe in forgiveness

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.

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.

Then came His life when He became the king. When He became the king He
wanted ... to establish people in dharma and He needed the help of the five elements.
So He made them into five ladies whom He married. So He has five wives, but they
are five elements, part and parcel of His being. But He was Yogeshwara, absolutely

there were sixteen thousand women who became His wives. These sixteen thousand
women are nothing but His sixteen thousand powers because you know His chakras
have got sixteen petals and these sixteen petals multiplied by the Viratas one thousand
petals each so it comes to sixteen thousand powers. So these sixteen thousand
powers were incarnated as women, were taken away by some horrible king and He
went there, fought this king and brought these ladies.

A place in the heart of Shri Krishna


Once it happened that the ladies who were married to Shri Krishna got very jealous
of Radhaji and they told Shri Krishna that You dont love us. On top of that, Shri
Narada came to put more oil on the fire, that he said. He really, I believe, He never cares
for you. He just likes Radhaji. He is not bothered. So Shri Krishna, as diplomatic as He
was, He started saying, Oh God, I have a terrible pain in my stomach. Now what to
do? So they said, Now what to do? He said, It is very simple. You know anyone who
is my bhakta [devotee]. If you can give the dust of your feet to Me to eat, then I will be
all right. So they got a fright of their life, you see.
As it is, if I tell you anything, you just want to give your solutions every time. Nobody
listens to Me. If I say go here No, no, it is better to go that way. Come here. No,
no, this way is better. Everybody has a brainwave about it. It does not matter. So there
they had brainwaves. They said, You see, why dont you take some medicine? Then
somebody said, We will call the Vidya. He said, No, I know for definite that I cannot
be cured by anything else but one thing, that you have to get the dust of one of my
bhaktas and I will eat.

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.

He took and came on His Garuda to save the chastity of His


sister immediately, spontaneously, that moment
When Draupadi was in trouble Draupadi was actually Vishnumaya, His sister
She thought of Shri Krishna. She was holding onto Her sari, when it was pulled out
by Duryodhana. And She was holding it like this [with Her teeth] Kri. She wanted
to say Krishna, but She thought, If I say shna it will fall down. So She was holding
on. As soon as She dropped it, shna, the sari dropped out of Her mouth. Then its
described about Shri Krishna, Dwarika me shora bhayo, shor bhayo bhare. Shankha
chakra gadaa padma, Garuda laysidhare, that sound went into Dwarika. Now where is
Dwarika and where is Hastinapur? at least a distance of two thousands miles. But the
sound went through the chaitanya and made a big sound there and Shankha Chakra
Gadaa Padma. Shankha, Chakra Gadaa, Padma are the weapons [of Vishnu], as you
know. All of them He took and came on His Garuda to save the chastity of His sister
immediately, spontaneously, that moment. He could have said, All right, let it be. Let
one sari come out, then I will go later.

Our family is the whole universe


You are married. You have got children. Im happy you are married because that is
an auspicious thing to do, to marry to begin with. But you should not get involved with
your family, my child, my family. Many people I have seen, they come to Sahaja Yoga,
get married and get lost because, to them, married now, Im enjoying my family now,
looking after my family. Our family is the whole universe. It is not just my own wife and
my children, but the whole universe is our family and this is what Shri Krishna tried to
show in His life, that the whole universe is your family.

He is not the Ishwara of everyone, only of yogis


He is the Ishwara of yogis, as Ganesha is the Ishwara of the Ganas. You see, its
the Ganapati who looks after the Ganas and He is our Ishwara. That is we have to have
Him as our ideal.... He is Ishwara. He is your Ishwara. You are not Ishwaras, but you are
at least the yogis. We have to be the yogis first, then He is our Ishwara ... otherwise He
doesnt want to rule you. So what we have to do is to become the yogis first. And one
of the signs of a yogi is that He is, in His sex life, extremely pure. Absolutely purity must
exist and, after some time, one should get beyond. Your relationships with other people,
whether it is your sister or a brother or any other woman or any other man, there should
be complete purity. And this is extremely important.... We have to decide that He is our
Ishwara. He is the Ishwara aspect and, if He is our Ishwara, then we have to cleanse
our attitude towards sex, towards the gross way of life that we have developed, to just
shun it and throw it away absolutely. There cannot be compromise on that, otherwise
you cannot be a yogi. You cannot be a yogi

2.12 Ocean of joy


Joy is all-pervading
The third point was for Him to make people joyous and happy. But with all these
maryadas of Shri Rama, He didnt know how to do it. So to give people joy, He said,
All right, let us dance, let us sing, let us play Holi, all sorts of things.... All that He did
to give them a full idea. As for a Sahaja Yogi or for a self-realized soul, what should be
the attitude towards everything? But it is not that you have to do it, but it just works out.
It is like that, that in the state of Sahaj, you enjoy everything enjoyment. And that is
what His idea was, to create a sense of joy among people.... He said, You must enjoy,
enjoy with detachment. For people, it is very difficult to understand how can it be....
With attachment you can never enjoy. If you are attached to something, you cannot
enjoy anything in a full way....
Joy is all-pervading. It has no boundaries, and you just get dissolved. You get dissolved
in the ocean of joy. That was what Shri Krishnas idea was, that cut out these maryadas.

All these joys put together are Nirananda


Where there is complete joy, there is no happiness and unhappiness. You dont feel
happiness or unhappiness. These are the qualities of the ego and superego. In Sahaja
Yoga, as you grow from one to another, there are different types of anandas. Like we
can say, the spirit, when you see the spirit, you get an anand called swananda. That
means you feel your spirit yourself and you feel very happy. Then you give Realization to
others. You get parananda, the joy of others. But when you get the enjoyment of wellbeing, in health and materially all right and everything all right, everything in santosha. In
complete satisfaction, then its Brahmananda. And like that, you start feeling higher and
higher joys within yourself because your nerves start opening to new dimensions. So
you can say that at the Krishna level, you get Krishnananda, where you get the sweetness, the madhuriya. And when you see your generosity, then you get Shivananda. And
when you are with children, you get Ganeshananda. And that can be described. All
those can be described, but Niranand cannot be described, because it is Mahamayas
joy. All these joys put together are Nirananda. So there is no place for ego and superego
at all. The complete Sahasrara is opened out and nothing but the complete rapport is
established with the Divine. And there is a pouring of light all the time in the head and the
light going back, that you have seen in My photograph, as if the Sahasrara becomes like
a sucking child from the Universal Mother, sucking the joy inside and it is again reflecting
back. It would be like the waves reach the shores and then they are again repelled.
They go back and then they form a pattern. Now the joy out of that pattern, how can
you describe? The only thing about Nirananda is that you have Mahamaya so close
and so far away. That is the speciality. Completely thoughtless, silence there. Complete
silence you dont think. Its just silence you cannot put into words any more because
the words break with the force of the ananda.

The shakti of Shri Krishna is Shri Radha, who is Allahad


Dayini, the giver of joy
When your attention goes to the Vishuddhi, then you see the shakti of Shri Krishna,
Shri Radha, who is Allahad Dayini, the giver of joy. Just by seeing Her, people feel joyous. She is the Allahad Dayini Shakti. which is in flowers, in children and it can awaken
in you. Until the depth comes, this Allahad Dayini Shakti will remain verbal. Think about
the combination of these two. It is very important for us to get depth within. And to give
joy from that depth is equally important.

2.13 About devotion


When you do Ananya Bhakti, you are one with Me
He says, You go praying to Me and if you give Me flowers, Ill take. If you give
Me water, Ill take. Whatever youll give Me, Ill take. He says clearly, But what will
you gain out of that is very important. He doesnt say, If you give me something, Ill
give you something. He doesnt say that. So what should be the state, what should
be the condition? He said, If you praise Me, if you have bhakti for Me, you are giving
Me presents, you are doing all sorts of things, you are very dedicated but, you should
do ananya bhakti. The word is ananya. Ananya means when there is not the other.
When we are one, when we are connected, then the bhakti you do that time, whatever
music you have of devotion, whatever flowers you give, whatever expression you have,
it should be ananya.

2.14 About Introspection

Nirananda is sheer joy


Now we have to realize that the Sahaja Yogis have done so much to channelize this
Nirananda all over the world. So I am very thankful to you for all that. Now we look forward to the people who are coming. They are coming here to enjoy the Nirananda and
we have to see to it that we give them all that is Niranand. Niranand means just kevalam.
Ananda kevalam is Nirananda ... sheer joy. I mean nothing but joy. It is Nirananda. And
this word delight itself is of light, comes out of the light. It is the light and the joy.

Until and unless Sahaja Yoga is completely manifested within us,


the people who respect Sahaja Yoga will not continue to do so
We have to realize that Sahaja Yoga has spread a lot and, in all corners of the world,
people respect Sahaja Yoga. But until and unless Sahaja Yoga is completely manifested
within us, the people who respect Sahaja Yoga will not continue to do so. That is why it is
essential that we look inside of us. The nature of Shri Krishna is that we look inside of us
and see what are the things that put us in trouble. We should find that out. We should look
towards ourselves, within ourselves and that is not such a difficult thing.
39

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.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 9th 2003, Pratishthan, Pune, Maharashtra, India

The defect lies within us only


We should look within ourselves and see. This is what Shri Krishna has said, but
people find this hard to do. It doesnt happen. What is the reason that we are not able
to see ourselves? What is this veil in between? The veil is of bad things like ego. They
stand up and we are unable to see the defects that we should see. To see these defects
is very essential.
I am very happy that you kept todays puja. Shri Krishnas Puja will take place and
a lot of people will get cleansed from within because this is a special blessing of Shri
Krishna. He will do it Himself, but you have to show a little interest, an inclination that
you want to be completely cleansed from within. You dont know how profound this
question is. To fix this we have to work very hard....
When this happens, you will start manifesting innocence within you. This is the bala
leela [playfulness] of Shri Krishna. Once you get bathed in this innocence, your eyes
will become very steady. On your own, you will start understanding yourself. Actually,
the defect lies within us only. Looking at the defects of others, how can we fix our own
defects?

I have given siddhis to all of you


For a Sahaja Yogi, it is to witness himself first of all. That is the introspection. He
should see for himself, Where was I and I have come here. Dont indulge too much
in the past, but see the distance you have crossed in such a short time. Now you have
come into the Kingdom of God. You have all the powers. I dont tell lies. It is a fact...
See for yourself how many powers you have got. Now, with your Left Vishuddhi,
you will always conclude, Oh, how can I have any powers? After all, I have done this,
I have done that.... Because that, the left Vishuddhi is all the time telling you that you
are good for nothing. Its like a leaking hole in your brain that takes away all the sense.
And you accept it....
40

You know what you can do. You also know that whatever you say happens. Whatever you want, you can get it. Try, try, try, but if you dont do it, then you will be all the
time half-baked. Take the experience of your powers. See how dynamic you are. Dont
have formalities about it.... I have given siddhis to all of you. I never discriminate, but its
only He that is very brave. He uses left and right. If you do not use your siddhis, what
can I do? Ive given you all the siddhis. No doubt about it. So try....
Have faith in yourself. If you have left Vishuddhi, this Vishnumaya wont work out.
But be like Vishnumaya. Just give up this guilt. No, I am a Sahaja Yogi. Im not an
ordinary person.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 16th 1992, Cabella, Italy

So now I have to improve ...


Another style of this left Vishuddhi is this, which one must understand, that it tries
to give an explanation. As I told you many a time, you tell somebody telephone to
someone. First they will say, He may not be there, Mother. Baba, you telephone. First
find out if he may be there or may not be there. But they would not. They would just
avoid and that is another thing. Vishnumaya never avoids. You have seen that. Once
She has to shine, She shines, wherever She is, whatever She is. So in the same way,
we have to be like that. We have to know that we are special people, we are chosen, we
are angelic and that we have entered into the Kingdom of God and it will all work out.
Sahaja Yoga is not meant for useless people. As I told you in Marathi, Tukaram has said,
Eddia gabalache kam nave Its not meant for lunatics and lousy people. Its meant
for somebody who has thiala pahije jatiche. You need people of character. I know that
there cannot be many like that, but there is no place in Gods realm for many people,
for all these useless people. Its only for something special. These seats are reserved
and you have got your Realization now, somehow. So now try to understand that this
Vishnumaya principle has to be expressed and has to be shown and you introspect
yourself, Have I done that or not? Dont be afraid that they say that Our ego will
come up. It doesnt matter. You will also see your ego. This is the second part of Shri
Krishnas play, that in this Krita Yuga you see your ego.
Now the third situation is that you accept whatever is wrong with you. If you do not
accept, then you have not been kind to yourself. That is the central part of it, that you
must accept, Yes this is the wrong. This is something wrong with me. I have gone in
this part ... or that part. Im wrong. So now I have to improve.

2.15 Wisdom

2.16 Collectivity

Wisdom is a temperament. It is a quality of a personality


which comes to you by balancing yourself
If you are awakened by Shri Krishnas powers, then the first thing that should
happen to you is wisdom. Now the wisdom is something you cannot describe. You
cannot say what is wisdom. Its very difficult to describe it or to delimit it. Wisdom is a
temperament. It is a quality of a personality which comes to you by balancing yourself,
by a trial and error method. All traditional countries innately have much more wisdom
than people who are not traditional. But Krishna broke all the traditions. Thats why you
people are here without much tradition. He broke all the traditions, but He was Shri
Krishna, so He did not need any tradition at all. But for you, you have to understand
from the people who have tradition what is wisdom. So we do a trial and error. We make
mistakes, from that we learn.

The light of the spirit, which shines through your Hamsa


chakra, gives you wisdom
The light of the spirit, which shines through your Hamsa chakra, gives you wisdom. Wisdom doesnt mean that you know how to argue things or you fight with
people. No, it doesnt mean that. Wisdom means how you take to the good side of
everything to enjoy it. This is wisdom and that you avoid all destructive things and take
to something constructive....
You start enjoying every aspect which is supposed to be very, very bad for others. To you, you know the aspect of that, what is to be enjoyed, that part which is to
be enjoyed. And once you know how to do it, then you say, We are swimming in the
Ocean of Joy. The ocean is the same. But now you just achieve those beautiful drops
of ambrosia, which are in that ocean and the rest are worried of getting drowned
same ocean, same world. Thats why they say its a maya, but after this discretion is
shining theres no maya.

Collectivity is the blessing of Shri Krishna. He teaches you to be collective, the


fun of collectivity, the enjoyment of collectivity. A person who is secluded, who keeps
himself off like a drunkard is not the one who worships Shri Krishna. The one who is one
with Shri Krishna enjoys everyone, especially if they are all realized souls. That person
enjoys their company very much.

To be collective is to be joyous
Anybody who cannot be collective is not yet a Sahaja Yogi not yet a Sahaja Yogi
at all. Collective in the sense that anybody who cannot live with other Sahaja Yogis,
who tries to find faults with someone all the time, wants to run away with his wife and
will stay somewhere else or with her husband, who wants to get out, is not a person
whos collective....
Anybody who goes against collectivity, who sticks to their bhoots, sticks to their
negativity will have to get out of Sahaja Yoga and that is to be remembered, that to be
collective is to be joyous, is to be progressive, to be going further.

2.17 Doctor of Doctors


Shri Krishna is also a Dhanvantari. That means the doctor of
doctors. He is the One who cures
This Yogeshwara, Shri Krishna is also a Dhanvantari. That means the doctor of
doctors. He is the one who cures because its all the brain and the vibrations which
flow on the nervous system. So He cures people through His brain.... Supposing
somebody is having a problem, say on his heart. So as soon as he puts his hands
to My photograph, immediately he gets problem on his left finger here. The brain is
working. So in your brain, My vibrations go to Shri Krishna and they start sending these
messages because I am also Shri Krishna. So this computer acts and immediately you
know whats wrong with that person. He is a heart patient. You dont have to do any
diagnosis. You dont have to do anything. Immediately you know. And who does this?
It is the principle of Shri Krishna in the brain of the Virata. See this is also working for
some people, I think. Now you are convinced about it. You know that it works, it acts
like this, it happens like that and how it communicates through you. So this computer
of Mine communicates. Now, in a computer if you go, you can just press the button.
Of course, they are all man-made, but whatever it is, you then get the result. Here it is
not like that. It is the brain which automatically gives the result, immediately through the
other person. And also the same brain tells you what is to be done to such-and-such a
person, how to work it out. The same brain is emitting vibrations and those vibrations
are flowing through this brain and they are the ones who tell you whats wrong with this
person. So all this work of penetration is done by Shri Krishna, no doubt. He takes these
vibrations, puts them into another brain and then that brain, that central nervous system
starts working and then you get the result. But instantaneously, its not so much time it
takes. Another way I have described it, it just works immediately. As soon as they put
their hands before Me, immediately.

The Vishuddhi Chakra

These hands are to be used for collectivity. See, you say namaste when we meet
others. To thousands of people we can say namaste. But I dont like the shaking hands
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
are concerned there are many other angels and other ganas who are standing behind
you. They also extend their help help to you whenever you want to communicate
something. They also do your jobs very well, so whatever is expressed in your hand or
through your hand, they immediately pick up.

@@ H.H. Shri Mataji, Shri Krishna Puja, Aug 16th 1992, Cabella, Italy
In your art, in your music, in your gestures, in every way, your hands are very important. But the Vishuddhi chakra also plays a part, as you know, on the 16 chakras or the
sub-plexuses which look after our face, our ears, nose, eyes, neck, all these things are
looked after by Vishuddhi chakra. As a result, you can become great actors. You can
have eyes which are innocent. You can have skin which is shining. You can have ears

The nose is very important. Nose has to be pure in the sense that you should be able
to discard whatever is smelling badly and you should be able to accept whatever is fragrant.
Its very important because nose is the specialty of Shri Krishna, I would say, in the sense
that Hes the Kubera, and the Kubera has given the nose to the Goddess. Some people
have a bad habit of moving their nose just to show disapproval or something like this. They
go on doing like that. This is very wrong because then you are insulting yourselves; youre
insulting your Kubera power. So you have to keep your nose in a dignified manner.

inner part, another as the outer part. It gives you the ears, from the inner part, Shri Rama
does. He gives you the eyes, in the inner part of the eyes. Now, its so important to have
the inner side all right and the outer side. It is an example of Shri Rama that He never
cared for the outer side or the outward looks of a person. Because He came before Shri
Krishna, He tried to build up the inner side of a human being. So we can say, though
He is on the right Heart, He acts through your Hamsa chakra and partly through your
Vishuddhi chakra in the inner side of it. Because Shri Krishna, in the inner side of it is
Shri Rama, is Shri Vishnu.

one is the center. Now the right Heart is a very important thing. The right Heart looks

All the qualities of Shri Krishna can be expressed on your face


A person who is spiritually endowed has an expression which can never be aggressive. He may not be good looking, may not be very a sort of a attractive personality, but
the expression on the face is absolutely saintly. That is also the blessings of Shri Krishna
The whole thing becomes absolutely mild, soft, peaceful and very joyous. All the qualities of Shri Krishna can be expressed on your face. You can be sometimes mischievous
to look at. So many expressions there are which come on the face and give you a very
sweet feeling. But some people have a habit of looking in the mirror all the time, which is
very wrong, because it gives you a kind of a funny ego. Is better to look at Shri Krishnas
photograph than to look at your own faces, so that your face will become like that of Shri
Krishna ... So, one has to be careful not to pay so much attention and importance to your
own self, but to your Self which is within, which is your spirit, and if you look after that side,
then all these things will happen in such a beautiful manner. Also, the hair are looked after
by Shri Krishna. Now, you see, you know that Hes very fond of anything that is, um, like

Cleansing Techniques

4.1 Right Vishuddhi


Shri Krishnas essence is sweetness madhuriya, madhuriya and His power was
Radha. Ra is energy dha means the one who has sustained the energy. And Her
power was, She was called as alahada. Alahada means joy giving qualities She
had. So Shri Krishnas qualities were that He was Yogeshwara, so He was the witness
and sweetness. Now a person who shouts and screams and talks loudly and loses his
temper in a very loud voice, or who speaks very loudly all the time, they all suffer from
the right Vishuddhi [catch]. So one should understand that even when you have to scold
somebody you have to just say in a sweet manner What are you doing? Why are you
doing like this? Otherwise if you say Why did you do like this?
finished! The right Vishuddhi is over, its finished now.
So for the right Vishuddhi we use the mantra of Vithala and
Rukmini. If you are talking loudly, if you talk too much, if you intimidate
people with your talking then you catch on right Vishuddhi. So for that
the best is to take some rest and give some rest to your right
Vishuddhi by stopping your talk. Go into mauna they say,
just dont talk. For some time if you dont talk you will see
that your Vishuddhi will be improved, your
problems will be improved.

tries to explain everything. Every action can be explained. Why did you murder? Because
this. Why did you do that? Because of this. Once you start justifying your wrong deeds,
right Vishuddhi goes up to your brain. And then whatever you do has a justification.

for saying things, which are sweet and beautiful. Let us find out what sweet things we
are going to say to people who come here. Not expressing our views about, I like it, I like

And say Allah-Hu-Akbar 16 times


Now another thing you have to do is to put your fingers into your ears and say
Allah-Hu-Akbar 16 times. Put your head back. It will clear out most of your problems
about Vishuddhi. Mantras are to give strength to your Deities. Of course, Deities are
very powerful, but strength, meaning the vehicle, which is carrying the Deity, becomes
stronger. As you know, the mantra of Radha-Krishna or Vithala is the same for right
Vishuddhi; but Allah-hu-Akbar has two things in it: first is, of course, the Vishuddhi and
also the collectivity. So by the first one, you get bad colds and you get your attention
diverted and other problems of the ear, nose, throat. And by the second one when it is
spoiled, you say aggressive words, sarcastic language - all kinds of things that breaks
the collectivity. So either you suffer from a bad cold, so you cannot speak, and when
you speak you hurt others
Another thing one should try is a physical treatment of your throat, it is very simple,
Ive seen is that, you push back your tongue, and put, this is a physical thing, put
your chin here and try to push back your tongue as much as possible. Now hold your
breath, push back your tongue as much as you can. Kundalini will move further. First
you have done Allah-Hu-Akbar, so you have bent backwards. By doing this, you see,

Just peaceful
So from Shri Krishnas life one has to learn that how He would just play His flute
and the whole atmosphere used to become absolutely quiet, without any ripple of any
trouble, or any idea of disturbance. Just peaceful. But in modern times its the other way
round. They have the music where the right Vishuddhi is about to break or burst. I dont
know what sort of a music it is. When they listen to this music, you see, then it excites,
then it excites you. It doesnt make you peaceful. It excites you, excites you more and
more. But, as Shri Krishna becomes Virata, your limbic area also gets numbed with it
All the exciting, we can say all the exciting cells become numbed. And you have to really
go in for tremendous effort to create that excitement in those numbed cells.

Classical Indian music helps with vibration


Theres another point I wanted to mention about Sahaja Yogis, that we introduce
classical Indian music for you, because I think it helps for vibration. But as the nature is
of western people, anything they take up they must go to the ultimate end til they are
completely lost. So what I find now all of them are buying tapes
You are Sahaja Yogis. Its all right, I am also fond of music, but its not the way.
What is the main thing of your life? And I was surprised how people are lost in the music.
I mean there should be some occasion. Theyre all already in another world with the
music. Dont do these things. You go to extremes of everything. Thats not proper, even
pujas, anything, you go to extremes. To go to extremes, you wont be in the center. You
will not be in the place of Shri Krishna, where you have to be. On the contrary, you will
be just in another imaginary world.

4.2 Left Vishuddhi

Vishnumaya: She gives the light and announces to the whole


world what Shri Krishna is

So I would say now we have the left Vishuddhi and you know very well that left
Vishuddhi is the lightning. Now what is lightning? He just shouts and roars. So a person
who has got left Vishuddhi should actually become a person who can shout and who can
scream and who can, I should say, expose others as She did. In the same way you have
to do it. In that you should not be afraid, you should not worry, and you should not think
How can I do it after all? But mostly the people who feel guilty are a type which have lost
his confidence and the ego has entered into the left side its a very complicated situation.

So then, this left Vishuddhi is Vishnumaya. Means what? Once you have this left
Vishuddhi you develop all the problems of the Vishnumaya, and one of them is the
Heart. Because Vishnumaya is an active thing, She is like electricity and if you have
Vishnumaya problem, then you become lethargic. Oh, Im so guilty. You become
depressed. That Vishnumaya principle disappears from you. Shes the one whos quick,
fast, and She gives the light and announces to the whole world what Shri Krishna is.

Feeling sorry and feeling guilty spoils your left Vishuddhi


Now your Vishuddhi chakra has to be improved Theres nothing to feel guilty, its
a fashion, just a fashion. Im sorry morning till evening Im sorry, Im sorry, What are
you sorry for, for being a human being or for being a Sahaja Yogi? All the time feeling
sorry and feeling guilty spoils your left Vishuddhi. As your left Vishuddhi is spoilt what
happens is that your Shri Krishna-tattwa is gone. Then you cannot feel the collective,
then you cannot understand what has gone wrong with you. So just if you have to
say sorry also, say sorry to God and after that dont say sorry anymore. You face it.
Whatever you have done wrong, all right face it! This was wrong, all right it will not be
done. Do not argue with it, do not continue with it, just face it and say this was wrong,
and this wrong I will not do again, and its finished, for you are after all saints now
Only thing, you better understand and be aware of your own position, as Shri Krishna
has said, You have to be aware of your Self.

Your sister is your pure relation


On the left side is the Vishnumaya, is the sisterly relationship. When the sister who
is your pure relation is not treated as the sister, when the attitude of a person towards
women is of indulgence and of lust, then he develops the left Vishuddhi. When he
develops a left Vishuddhi very strongly and if he has a bad Agnya of he has eyes which
are roving eyes, then this left Vishuddhi causes lot of trouble. Left Vishuddhi can be
also caused by, as you know, by feeling guilty about things for nothing at all. All these
problems arise from Vishuddhi.

Vishnumaya is nothing but like electricity


So we have to be on the lookout that we are not guilty, its very important. Guilty
for this, guilty for that, its just a myth. We want to escape reality thats why we say we
are guilty. So you have to face it, your reality. Try to find out whats wrong with you and
whats wrong with another person and face it. That is much better than to just say Oh
I feel very guilty and sitting down. Because Vishnumaya is nothing but like electricity
and electricity exposes people, she screams at people, shouts at people, she roars at
people. So if you have a left Vishuddhi then you have to use these methods. I would say
a person who has an inferiority complex should go to the sea and address the sea and
tell I am the Lord of the sea, I am this, I am that! loudly.
Those people who cannot speak on the stage, cannot come on the stage, they
should go also same way when they try theyll become great speakers. It will be a
very good idea for you to go and just to give a big lecture and with that big lecture you
can always show that you are not suffering from any inferiority complex but you are
expressing yourself in a clear-cut way. So now you will see the power of Shri Krishna is
of the throat, of the right side, where what is the power He has got? The power is that
He is sweetness. He has the power of the shouting or you can say with which, the
vocal chord as you call it. He is the power of the vocal chord but how does He use His
power is for sweetness. Is a contrast. And the same thing happens with Vishnumaya
too. Now Vishnumaya is the potential power in the, say, in the clouds. Is a potential one.
But what She does is to scream, shout and show Her existence, that She exists

Speak the truth, dont tell lies

All those people who cheat others get exposed

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.

The movement of the neck, as you have seen in all international life, if you see, everybody has practically the same You have to use your voice instead of nodding like this
(Shri Mataji is nodding) all the time. Is very bad, very, very bad for the Vishuddhi chakra.
Or some of them are the other way round. That whatever it is theyll put up their head
like this (Shri Mataji is throwing back Her Head) and they wont talk properly, they will not say
a word, theyll just keep quiet. You may go on pinching them, doing anything, they wont
budge. This kind of personality is also very much detrimental to the growth of their evolution.
Apart from that, their Vishuddhi becomes a very big problem. Because of Vishuddhi there
are so many problems. Like angina you develop because of Vishuddhi. You develop spondylosis because of Vishuddhi. Sometimes people loose their voices completely. Sometimes
they are all the time coughing. And there are so many physical problems out of Vishuddhi

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
Sahaja Yogi can do for another, a nice massage for the head because this is what I am
preparing you for Sahasrara. You will be surprised, your head will be very clear and thus
you will be prepared for this Puja of Sahasrara. I would say you must order one gallon of

collectivity starts and as a result of that, you get discretion. So to improve the discretion
part, is a very simple thing we do is to take vibrated ghee or butter, which is heated up,

way you want to suggest something. You can maneuver and you can keep your heart
away from it. In the heart you may have poison for a person, but outwardly you may say
to that person in a very sweet manner something that a person might feel impressed.
But in this all this behavior, pattern of behavior, you are deceiving yourself, not deceiving
the another person. Because your self is Spirit, which knows you very well. And this

be artificial in your expression, there is no need to hide anything in your expression. Of

if the glance is not pure, is shifty, going from here to there, there to there, then you are
actually going against your dharma, against your evolutionary process, and one day will

to use butter, or salt and oil to rub your gums. If you rub your gums properly you will never
have problems with your teeth and your gums. Moreover, every time in the evening, you
must again brush your teeth Ive seen many people who come to Me in the evening in

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.

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.

surrender something to the other part. But when Shri Krishna was talking about surrender,

the strength of a person comes through the Vishuddhi chakra in his speech. But it can
be absolutely stiff also, the strength could be absolutely stiff. Supposing you have a
very strong weapon but you cant lift it, so what is the use of having a weapon like that?
See, this Mr. Ego tries to make the weapon heavy and stiff like jammed machine-guns.

But when the ego is so strong in a country like America, when we do wrong, we
do not want to accept that it was wrong, it was against our ascent, it was against
our higher goals So because youre indiscreet, you do wrong things. When you
make mistakes, instead of developing the discretion about it that this was a mistake,
next time we should not do it, facing up to it, what we do is to feel guilty about it, so
you escape it, spoiling the other chakra also. That is how people get a problem on
the left Vishuddhi, and left Vishuddhi is that you feel guilty. Its very good to feel guilty
than to do anything about it. Thats the best way to escape it. Actually we have seen
that mostly left Vishuddhi comes from ego. When ego is too much, you cant bear

The humility is the best way of conquering this ego of Vishuddhi. And when talking
to others, try to develop sweet methods, sweet ways of not hurting other people. And
you will be surprised that Vishuddhi will immediately start behaving in such a sweet
manner, because the bhoots dont like sweetness, they are quarrelsome. They are
harsh, they are always trying to say something to hurt So this Vishuddhi on the right
hand side is to be controlled by surrendering as it is said
Actually you surrender your ego to begin with. And this ego when you surrender, it
has to be done from you heart, it should not be a lip service. From your heart: I dont
want this ego any more. I want Reality. Let the Reality be seen by me, felt by me, enjoyed
by me. And once you start doing it from your heart, you will be amazed that your voice
will become sweet. Apart from that, it will have the Divine Power flowing through it. That is
what we say that you have now wak shakti, which means the power of speech.

taken some objection. Maybe it is too much for us. But this kind of thing that you can kill
anybody, so if you go on like this, you see if that is the criteria of greatness then Rwanda
people should be placed highest in the evolutionary process. Killing somebody is not
allowed. Thou shalt not kill. Muslims are killing. Everybodys killing everyone. The other
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.

family? What is your education? You see, everything has no value in the presence of
God. The possessions that one values so much have no value. So one has to realize
that if we are the possessions of God, we should be proud of one thing only, that His
vibrations flow through us. That is: He is proud of us So the pride and the vanity

Giving too much importance to the agencies of lust
Also the lust of other women and indulging into lust too much. Giving too much

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.

go with men and women. Thats the wisdom of innocence So the innocence is not
stupidity. It is a complete wisdom, and very mature in its full form. It just knows how to
be with people without indulging into anyone of these enemies. Each enemy is sufficient
to finish not only one person, but billions and billions. So best way to develop that
absolute nature of your Vishuddhi chakra is to witness the whole thing with a detached
mind. And to develop love for your Mother in your heart, so that She cleanses all these
enemies, in such a way that when you are faced with them, you are a powerful person.

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.
