it is so simple
JANUARY 1
IT IS SO SIMPLE
A spiritual person is just innocent. There is no intelligence – nothing, just innocence. The whole thing is innocence. Whatever he says comes through innocence. It does not have intellect, as such, which you people have through reading and through understanding and by analyzing – nothing of the kind. It just has pure and simple innocence and it works out very well. It is so clean and just says what it knows. And what it knows is the highest. So this deconditioning has to be brought within us, but you should not discuss it among yourselves also. Once you start discussing, then it becomes a sort of a theological argumentation. There is no theology about it. It is very simple. The simplest thing is to be innocent. But the innocence is lost – why? – because our attention is in a different way. We are attentive to other things. We are looking at other things. It is so simple. 1983
JANUARY 2
CHASTITY IS KEYNOTE
For Sahaja Yogis, the most important thing is to lead a very holy life. Everything else is mundane. Christ, who came on this Earth, was the incarnation of the same holiness as Shri Ganesha. He has gone to this extent to say, Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes.
Even your eyes should be holy and innocent. Innocence gives you that holiness, as the children are holy people because they are so innocent. There are so many things to be learned from children in their simplicity, in their innocence. They do not indulge into things which are unholy. Holiness is not only concerned with your married life. Also it is concerned with your political life, with your economic life, with your national life. Chastity is the only keynote for improving all the problematic questions or else solving them completely. 1987
JANUARY 3
THE EPITOME OF HOLINESS
Express all our wisdom, all our love through holiness. There is no end to what I have to say about this great quality which all should imbibe, respect and worship. The only thing is, when you meditate, just believe that your auspiciousness and holiness is to be imbibed on your nerves, on your central nervous system because that is the epitome of chaitanya. The chaitanya that is flowing all around, if it is in the form of holiness, even one glance of yours can bring beautiful fruits, can bring peace and solace. So this innocence and holiness is the one which is peace-giving, which reduces frictions and tensions because you enjoy your chastity, because you enjoy your glory. Please aspire to be the epitome of holiness. 1987
JANUARY 4
BE IN THE OTHER WORLD
Whatever is good for the Spirit, the enjoyment for the Spirit, then you will be in the other world. Forget this nonsensical world where you have been. You are all seekers. You are great people. God gave you birth in that country just to see what materialism is, not to get involved into it. Get out. You got involved. Get out. We have all this poverty. We have all this discomfort. See the peace. Feel the peace of the landscape, of human beings. Everybody has peace. Look at the smart little children, young, this age, so happy here. 1983
JANUARY 5
WORKING ON YOU ALL THE TIME
When you will be going to your countries, you should see for yourself what is happening around and just laugh and get out of it. You have to remember those beautiful days in Ganapatipule and you have to get into that mood and know that you belong to the Kingdom of God. I know we had very little time to talk, but music was even better. I could communicate better through music to you. I am working on you all the time. 1988
JANUARY 6
IN THE SKY OF JOY
Joy has no double meaning. It is absolute. You reach to that subtlety. You start enjoying that tasting of joy – not vibration, but joy – beyond your central nervous system where it cannot be expressed in words. It expresses in your eyes, in your faces, in the atmosphere, in the nature, everywhere, to see the whole thing is blossoming around. This is what you all have to achieve and, for that, we have to know that we are not going to bow down to anything that puts our attention into shackles. Mother has freed us. Let us spread our wings. We are not little, small little birdies, but now we have become birds and let us spread our wings and fly in the sky of joy. 1988
JANUARY 7
THAT HIGHER STATUS
You all believe that I am Adi Shakti and you have proof of it. Puja is one of the ways you can have the proof of it much more because, when you are doing the puja, my Deities, which are within my chakras, they get excited and they feel happy and they want to emit more vibrations. And when they start emitting more vibrations, then you are surprised that how, after puja, you get so drenched and you just feel elevated and at a much higher level. Of course, it is true that during the puja time you feel very much elevated for some time and you can keep it up. Some people definitely retain it. But some people go up and down like a yo-yo. They do not have that capacity to retain it. That is why one has to meditate in thoughtless awareness to keep up that status, that higher status. 1990
JANUARY 8
GROW GREAT IN YOUR ASCENT
Let us all decide today not to worry about small, frivolous things, but think of something higher that we want to achieve, the highest that we want to achieve in our ascent, the greatest that we want to achieve in our ascent. This is the place where you can achieve it and that is why I am going to settle down in Pune. This is the place where you are going to grow very big. It is the best place to grow great in your ascent. 1986
JANUARY 9
UNDERSTAND THE BORN REALIZED
The children who are coming in this world, who look special and are born-realized. Many great souls are coming in this world. It is very important to take Realization to understand them. Otherwise, you will keep wondering what they are saying or doing. And whatever they do, they do in Sahaja Yoga.... You will not be able to understand what they are doing. It is because our knowledge is complete only when our inner sight gets opened. So when the Kundalini gets up, it awakens all the chakras, it spreads the light within, it enlightens our awareness and crosses our Brahmarandhra. 1979
JANUARY 10
THE AXIS IS THE ONE THAT LOVES
This axis is the intelligence of the Mother Earth. It is not only the intelligence, but it is the fragrance and, apart from that, it is the Sushumna Nadi of the Mother Earth. Now through this axis only, all these swayambhus and all these great happenings of earthquakes and all that take place. This axis is the one which moves. It is an energy.... It moves the lava in different directions and pierces through different areas to create earthquakes and also to have volcanoes. And all these things happen because the axis has sense as to what is to be done. This axis is the one that loves us. Because of this axis, we have seasons. The seasons are created beautifully to give us different varieties of food and varieties of things. 1988
JANUARY 11
COMPLETE COMMITMENT
One has to be very, very alert that God has chosen us for such a special work and we have to be fully committed to Sahaja Yoga. All those who are wise will take to this and understand that life is only worth this, otherwise it is useless. It is good for nothing. It has no meaning.... That complete commitment to Sahaja Yoga, it does not mean that you have to give up anything. For my sake, you do not have to do anything, but for your own sake, for your own betterment, you have to do it. 1987
JANUARY 12
BALANCE THROUGH ART
Today’s problems come out of such brains which believe in material development alone. As a result of this, we have societies which are dominated by machines as money.... It is economic dominance ruining the beauty of human beings and a sense of dignity. Machines are for us. We are not for machines. So there should be a co-relation between machine production and the human contribution. The arts and crafts must be there to build up a balanced personality within human beings. This balance is important to bring about the ascent to the higher life, the beauty of heaven. 1986
JANUARY 13
KNOW THROUGH YOUR HEART
Surrendering is the way. And do not think too much about Sahaja Yoga. Talking, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck
about Sahaja Yoga is not the way. All such people rise nowhere. I know that. I know everyone. I know people who just think too much of Sahaja Yoga. I know them very well. They do not know anything about me. On the feet I know. On the vibrations I know. On their development I know. There is no need at all to know Sanskrit, it is true. But it is the need to know your Mother, through your love, through your pure understanding.... You want to know the whole of Sanskrit, the whole of this and the whole of that. You will read the whole of the Vedas.... Just forget it. Do not go into that trip of knowing through your brains. Know through your heart. 1983
JANUARY 14
SEE WHAT IS AROUND
We have to be collective, not among only Sahaja Yogis, but with others also. We should see what is around us, what is wrong where, how we can help. We have many social obligations which we have to fulfill. Now you have reached the stage where you can do that without forming any social organization which collects money and has sales and things, that kind of a nonsense. But you can see around yourself who are the needy, who you can help. And that is how you can really give a very positive form to Sahaja Yoga. 1987
JANUARY 15
LISTEN TO YOURSELF
In your heart, in your mind, do not allow funny ideas to come in. First of all, watch what is in your mind. It will give you ideas like This man is not good. That man is not good.
Just do not listen to these things. Just listen to yourself: Where am I? What am I doing? What have I done for Sahaja Yoga? My vibrations, are they all right? Am I helping others? Where is my attention?
The attention has to be What am I doing with what Mother has given to me...?
Let everyone follow a proper pattern. Do not try to correct each other. That is a very wrong attitude in Sahaja Yoga and it is very detrimental to the growth of Sahaja Yoga. 1984
JANUARY 16
EVERY ANGLE EVERY VIDYA
Teach other people Sahaja Yoga whenever you have time. You are already gurus. You have to master the complete principle of Sahaja Yoga. Every angle, every vidya you must know. It is not only talking that helps – never. The person who can only talk does not impress people.... Collectivity is very important. In every nation, in every town, people should arrange some sort of picnics or some sort of seminars. At any kind of a collective happening, individualistic people should be brought in. They should all work together and make it a point that they achieve a collective sense. Enjoyment in the collective should be developed. As soon as that happens, you start rising much faster with the collective force. 1987
JANUARY 17
THE BENEVOLENT SUN
All of you have become realized and vibrations are flowing through you. You should make use of these vibrations, establish the shakti within you, establish the peace within you and show the world that this power is within us and we have to acquire it. We have to nurture this and improve it with your good qualities and truthful speech.... I wish you to become great Sahaja Yogis and bring people to the right path in this world. Teach them good living and let them experience the energy which is flowing inside them. 2008 translated from Hindi
JANUARY 18
THE POWER OF THE MOTHER
Every time I do something different. You must have seen that every time I come out with something new, some new method. If this does not work, try some other thing. If that also does not work, do something else. If something cannot enter through the head, try to enter it through the tail. Sometimes I tell it with a smile or with a cry or try to explain it lovingly, It should be like this....
In a living process, you should find out different new methods. I always give the example of the root of a tree. It penetrates deeper and deeper into the soil, circumventing the obstacles. It does not fight with them. The root would not have been able to hold the tree without the obstacles. Hence, the problems are necessary because you cannot progress without the problems. The power that teaches you how to overcome these problems is ... the power of the Mother. 1980 translated from Marathi
JANUARY 19
YOU WILL ALL BE NIRMALITES
Sahaja Yoga is the religion, no doubt. It is the universal religion that integrates all the religions, brings all the principles of religions together and shows the oneness. It integrates all the incarnations. It integrates all the scriptures. It is a very integrating, great religion, which we can call as the universal religion and in Hindi it is called as Vishwa Dharma.... This time, the incarnation being Nirmala, I thought we can call it the religion which is universal in the name of Nirmala. So to make it short, I thought we could call it Universal Nirmala Religion....
You will all be called as Nirmalites. That means the one who has been enlightened by Nirmala.... We have now proclaimed and announced that this is a religion which is a pure universal religion. When you say, Universal Nirmala,
it means pure or immaculate religion. 1985
JANUARY 20
THE MACHINERY IS SHAKING
Gandhiji did not tell you to fight for money, did he? He asked you to fight for swatantra. And today, if he was living, he would have talked about Sahaja Yoga. I am sure of that. But the problem that exists with us is that we do not want to see that this machinery is now shaking. We have to have another system, a parallel system that will crush this stupid machinery, which is taking us downward and downward and downward. 1986
JANUARY 21
KEEP YOUR MOTHER PLEASED
This desire to be one with the Divine is the purest and the highest. And to achieve that, what have you to do? To
