So first, open your heart,
“Mother, please come in my heart.”
All right, you say that.
It’s better.
It’s very simple way and I’m at your disposal.
You see, it happens because of the past,
because people have been unkind to you,
maybe that you have not forgiven them.
It can happen with anything
and that makes you feel so closed, isn’t it?
Because of the experiences you have had of other
and you cannot forgive them.
If you can’t forgive them, then you become like that, your heart is closed,
you can never be happy, you are very critical of others.
All these things come with a closed heart.
You cannot feel happy yourself.
You don’t make others happy.
Now how do you open your heart is
just to feel for everyone,
think about others.
See now, when I travel I always buy presents for people here and there
and went to Poland
and there was one shop I use to always buy things from there
for all the Sahaja Yogis and the third time I went the lady said,
“You are a very, very noble person.”
“Why?”
“You don’t buy anything for yourself.
You buy only for others all the time. Never for yourself. ”
I never think about Myself, but you people think for Me,
I don’t think for Myself.
Wherever it is, whatever it is, is all right.
To Me it doesn’t matter
where I live, how I live, what I eat, what – I don’t care.
There’s no time to think well, they’re thinking of others,
you have no time to think about yourself, Isn’t it?
That how it works out.
You think about others, immediately now, a very small thing like that
you see, I’ll tell you, once I’d gone to a shop to buy some things
for ladies and I was buying some saris.
Alright. There I was buying saris
and I bought these saris and took the saris out of the...
I bought these saris and I was quite happy about it.
Nice saris are there and I had to distribute to whom should I do this and do that.
I was just thinking.
I just forgot that I have to buy a sari for Myself because there’s a Puja.
Just forgot about it completely.
And later on it came into My head,
“My God, now there’s no sari for Puja. Now what?”
I was quite worried about it.
It never comes to Me that
“I need this” or “I need that. I need food.”
Unless until you say, ‘Will you have food?’ I will not say bring food.
It doesn’t come to Me.
And you’ll be amazed that when I reached the place, you see
– it was a Diwali celebrated in Switzerland –
I opened the thing and there was a sari which I’d bought before,
sometimes, an absolutely new with everything,
so surprised. I said, “How did I have it?
How do I have it so?”
Just couldn’t imagine! I had not put this sari there, it was kept somewhere.
I was quite amazed, how did I have the sari,
They were so upset: "No sari, Mother what to do?
Here it is!
So when you think about others, you see,
this Divine Power thinks about you.
But when you thinking about yourself, you are extremely miserable, horrible person.
Nobody likes you.
Nobody wants to talk to you and have anything to do with you
because you’re so much concerned about yourself,
and but when you think about others – small, small things,
very small things.
Another thing happened then,
that once I went with My daughter to a shop
and I liked one sari very much, I thought it’s good
for the evening we have Puja program,
but I’m rather miserly about Myself, so
I said no, better not, it’s rather expensive, why to buy it, so I came out.
And it was all right.
Then after some time, you see,
I think it was some occasion,
so My daughter brought the same sari and she gave it to Me.
And I was very much touched.
You see, because I didn’t buy because I was feeling – I’m a miserly person that way.
So she bought it for Me and she gave it to Me.
And she said, ‘You see what is this sari?’
“Oh, my God,” I said.
I mean, it’s very subtle understanding of expression of love.
I can afford this sari, she can also,
but the way she went at the same day
when I came home, she went and bought the sari, kept it
because she thought that it would be sold out.
Because she liked the sari, so she bought it.
That’s how you can suggest.
Like once we had a big dinner in our house
and my another daughter had given Me a sari as a present.
They give sometimes.
So that day I wore that sari and she was in tears.
She said you have so many beautiful saris,
of all the things, you wore this sari.
“Because, I said, you are coming for dinner, so
I thought it’s better to wear it.”
‘How do you remember, Mummy, that I gave you this?’
It’s just a subtle – now see, this is just matter. Sari is a matter.
You see, it’s just a matter,
but through that matter how you can express love.
I always give a simile of a glass mean applied with mercury.
It becomes a mirror.
In the same way, if you can apply your feelings
to any matter it becomes like a mirror. Anything.
