And Sahaja Yoga is the place where you have to learn,
in every way. For Indians have to learn how to be honest
and English have to learn how to love.
Americans have to learn how to be self-respecting.
All of us have to learn, give up what we had, our identifications,
and have to become subtler and universal
and people of such values that anybody who sees will say
that in America Mother has created Abraham Lincolns,
in Russia Tolstoys, in Maharashtra Shivajis.
I’m too ambitious, I should say,
but I see reality in you and reality in Myself.
On that basis, I say, one has to create
people of that special quality which they have sterling qualities,
sterling qualities, spiritual qualities
which are so subtle, so beautiful,
so sweet, so understanding.
And still, just like steel,
nobody can budge them from their own principles, tatwas.
That is what it is, so simple as that.
And then you start enjoying your love, enjoying your virtues,
enjoying everything and having compassion for others.
Then you don’t catch;
you catch because you don’t have compassion.
In compassion you’ll never catch, never.
A mother never gets a disease from her child.
She never gets a disease from her child, it’s a fact.
Child may be a tuberculosis patient or could be any patient,
she never catches because she loves.
In the same way, when you really love,
you’ll never catch anything.
Then what is the question of what is to clear,
where to clear, what to do – what does it matter?
You are just flowing your heart.
At this moment, My children, My Sahaja yogis
are at that level that they can completely open their heart
without any fear.
It’s a very different stage you have reached now;
you are at a different stage. Just assume your powers.
Know that you are that. Just open your heart.
Like, the other day I saw somebody, he was caught up very badly
from all the sides – not Sahaja yogi, somebody else.
And I asked him,
“How did you manage to get so many bhoots into yourself?”
Every, every guru you name, he is there.
I said, “How did you manage?”
He said, “I have a very open heart.”
“Oh God,” I said.
I said, “It’s like an open window in a dirty place.
You get every smell, every mosquitoes and bugs walking into it.”
So, the fear of opening your heart to that extent,
comes from that, from that experience.
But now, you are at such a stage that, open your heart.
There should be no fear; there will be no problem,
material problems are not difficult to be solved.
Like, somebody was taking My photograph
which was in a silver frame,
and she was rather worried because the customs may stop her
not taking. Of course, photograph they can’t stop,
but maybe the silver frame.
And this gentleman told Me that he was taking it
with him with a frame, silver frame and he thought people will object.
But as soon as they saw the photograph
they said namaskar to the photograph, forgot about the frame.
So many problems can be solved,
material problems – is so simple to be solved, so simple.
Is the easiest to be solved, physical problems also.
I have known of some Sahaja yogis
who have been in Sahaja Yoga six, seven years.
But still they are frightened about their body,
their physical body, the troubles they have had
and this and that. If they can just leave that fear,
they’ll get out of it.
It is such a vicious circle built in.
And the same thing works out with our open heart
surgery as we call it.
We are afraid that our heart will be again
caught up into nonsensical things,
so we don’t want to open our heart.
That fear I can understand.
But now you are Sahaja yogis, finished.
Ask all these people to get lost.
All these fears, you should ask them to get lost.
When you discover that you are the Spirit,
you are that powerful Spirit, just try to steady.
How it feels happy. It’s very simple.
When do you feel really happy? Is when you give something,
not to Mataji only. To Me you are, I know.
If I take something from you, you will feel very happy about it,
I know. But to somebody else; give some love, comfort.
What a great power this voice and this vani has,
that you can comfort others by saying good things.
Can you imagine what a power God has given you?
Without spending a single pi, you can comfort others,
only by saying good things. If you say a vmantra,
you’ll comfort them more in a subtle way.
If you instill love of God within them, it is even greater.
And the joy of that is so much because the Spirit is joy.
The more you open it out, the more light comes in,
more it works out. So give up that fear
which is placed within you in your experiences.
Now, this is a new experience of a new life,
where your energy comes from the Spirit, which is love.
In one word it is love.
And in three words, it is truth, it is attention and it is joy.
All put together it is love.
When you mix them up, it becomes love.
And that is what you have – it’s the great power of love.
Through your attention you love others,
even attention is sufficient.
To be attentive…. see, I needed a handkerchief
All right, that’s true. I needed a handkerchief. I forgot.
I mean, usually I forget all these things.
Then they felt the need, “Mother needs just a handkerchief.”
They brought the handkerchief;
a very simple action, you know, but the attention is on Me.
With little things like handkerchief you can comfort people.
For a Sahaja yogi, even to give a handkerchief itself
is so vibrated, itself.
To win over other people is also this way:
to be kind to them, to give them.
But to give them realization is the highest thing.
Now, when you become subtler and subtler,
you will see that you will not have sympathies with people
who are afflicted, not sympathies,
but you will have love for them.
There is a big difference between sympathy and love.
When you have sympathy means what? You share pathos.
Pathos. If you want to share pathos, share.
Very good idea is to share pathos.
But if you want to share joy,
you will not have sympathy, you’ll have love.
You want to share your joy of your Spirit with another person,
so you may talk to that person in a way
that may not look so much pleasing and falling at his feet,
and – you see, this is the work of politicians
or business people, not yours.
You are not seeking any business out of them;
you want them to come to realization.
So, you have to say things which are wrong very firmly.
With a real firm hand you have to say,
“This is absolutely wrong, absurd.”
You have to convince on that point,
on that if you go on saying, like this, like that,
it will never go into their heads because they are bhoots
and you have to hit them hard. That is also love.
So, love is the strongest thing and the sweetest thing.
Is such a beautiful combination
and the one who has the wisdom, that subtler wisdom,
can only achieve it. Now again the mind will work,
“How to do it?”
So, I think all of you should put this word “how” into the sea.
There is another very good word in English language,
which you should use: “why not!”
That’s the way you can assure yourself, ascertain yourself,
work it out that way into complete blessing of God.
You have to just pass those blessings to others,
that’s all. Nothing more is to be done,
just pass that light to others.
For that, what you need
is a man who has accepted love as his career,
a man who worships love,
a person who thinks love is above all.
