We have to meditate every day,
just like washing our hands
or just like cleaning our teeth,
we have to in the morning-time meditate
and also in the evening we have to meditate.
We have to meditate both the times
otherwise we cannot rise, we cannot grow.
Just to think that "We are realized souls" you do not become.
This cleansing has to be done every day,
every day in and out.
And this is why none of the experiences which are described
are felt sometimes in Sahaja Yoga
and people ask
"Mother, how it is that we don't feel the khechari?"
Because your attention is not also
there where it should have been.
So one has to try to meditate in such a manner
that it is working of the Kundalini is facilitated.
The chakras are cleansed out
and ultimately you are in a state of meditation.
It's not a question of how to go into meditation,
but is the question
how to be in meditation all the time.
So as you know that Kundalini, when she reaches
the Agnya Chakra
and when She opens Agnya chakra,
then you can be in thoughtless awareness,
then you don't think - thinking just stops.
You watch everything, just watch,
but you do not get involved into what you are watching,
but you just watch and that watching itself
gives you the growth within.
Think of the tree which is, say, in a turmoil or
during earthquake: it won't grow.
When the earthquake stops,
everything becomes quiet,
everything is peaceful, then only the tree can grow.
In the same way, our growth can only take place
if we are peaceful within ourselves.
So for a Kundalini growing wider and wider
and rising higher and higher,
first thing is we must have peace within ourselves,
but this peace is possible if you can make really
peace with others.
If you cannot make peace with others
who are in Sahaja Yoga,
who are in the collective,
if you are in a turmoil, this Kundalini can never rise.
That is why collectivity is so important.
Without collectivity your Vishuddhi cannot open,
and without collectivity
you cannot have the growth of your spirituality.
It's the growth of the spirituality
as they say the Tree of Life is upside down
and the roots are in the brain,
and this Kundalini has to go and water that brain,
as we water the roots.
Then it starts growing downward
and that's how you start expanding.
So this power of Gauri has to be respected
because she's our mother,
she's our individual mother.
She has given us second birth.
She is the one who knows all about us;
she's so gentle, so kind.
How she slowly rises.
She doesn't give us trouble, she takes all the trouble of penetrating
through these centers and she gives us this second birth.
Because she understands everything,
she knows everything, she organizes everything,
she brings forth all the beauty that you are.
Once you start developing that beauty within yourself,
then you'll be surprised how powerful you are;
that all these things are of the same nature
is the truth that you discover,
is the same as the beauty, is the same as the joy.
You don't have to think that joy is separate,
truth is different, beauty is different.
Because we are not yet at that point
we just take one facet,
but once we reach that point then
the whole thing seems to be one.
There is no differentiation at all.
It's all one.
Many facets of a diamond
but it's one diamond
and that diamond is your self, your spirit.
So today is a very great day,
we have to thank our, our Kundalini,
the Gauri for giving us realization
and to know that we have to every time awaken Her,
every time we have to expand Her,
and every time to worship Her
so that we always keep our realization intact
and keep our ascent intact.
It is this ascent
which is going to transform all the human beings.
So you have to pray to Her that "keep us pure,
make us pure." She purifies you,
Her job is to purify your chakras,
so "Please purify us, make our hearts clean,
our minds clean, everything clean;
and ultimately
keep our connection forever and everlasting,
so that we feel this beautiful power of God's love
flowing through us."
For that, whatever is necessary you will do.
You will be very much in the collective, will sacrifice anything
and also will try to be very sensible,
will try to spread Sahaja Yoga,
because when you spread Sahaja Yoga like a tree,
then the depth will grow also.
But it has to be done with the same beauty
as the awakening of the Kundalini.
She has not troubled you,
she has not given any problems to you,
so from that one has to learn
that we have to behave in a manner
the way Kundalini is so gentle,
so sweet, so nice, so effective
and she brings our life to some meaning.
She completes the meaning of our life,
she completes our desires
and she takes us to a point
where we start seeing the whole thing,
the whole universe as one,
all human beings as one.
She gives us collective consciousness.
All this work is done by Kundalini alone.
Of course, if she does not go to any chakras
and does not awaken any deity,
we cannot even have the fruits of those chakras being awakened.
So it is all her work, all her ascent,
all her understanding and wisdom
which has given us this beautiful state
that we call ourselves as yogis.
So I would request you all
to pay attention to your Kundalini,
try to raise her all the time,
see that you get your vibrations.
Also see that,
not only that you get your vibrations all right,
but also for others you have a different attitude.
Do not criticize others,
do not say anything about how wrong they are,
but just see how right they are
and what good they are capable of.
She is a virgin and still so wise.
In the same way we have to be very wise, very sensible.
We cannot afford to waste our time now
because we have to save the whole world, is our responsibility.
If we do not now work out even our own chakras,
we cannot help anyone.
So first of all we must work out our own chakras,
and then we can help the whole world.
It's not something like a cult or an organization
where you just say: "I belong to this cult or this organization.
So it's all right, I'll be saved by God."
That's not promised in Sahaja Yoga.
There's nothing like a ticket to Heaven.
It has to be worked out.
You have to work it out, and work it out
with full understanding as to what is
this Kundalini is and how she works.
May God bless you.
