The Letter from Shri Mataji to Sahaja Yogis (send many years
back...)
Man wants peace, wealth,
power, etc., but God is the origin of all these. Then why
should there not be the desire for God? Why should there be
no aspiration and ambition to meet God? We should pray
to God for peace, and keep the desire to meet God who is peace
itself. This should be the difference in satisfaction of a
common man and that of a Sahaja Yogi. One should be ready to
surrender the very desire to meet God at God’s holy feet. All
attention must be on Him. For that – one must have
dedication, determination and concentration (tapasvita), in that all material
attachments should be destroyed. What is there in this world
to cling to? You must realize the glory of those feet in
which all fades, and becomes peaceful. Only then, will you
have your glory!.
Why should one brag of
one’s achievements? You must understand that whatever is
being done by you, is all God’s power, that is, the working of the Adi Shakti
and you are only the witnesses to see these miracles. For
achieving that stage, you should pray:
“May our ‘I
consciousness’ fade away. May the truth that all of us are a
small part of your being be assimilated within us, so that your Divine bliss
would resonate every particle of our bodies and this life would be filled with
beautiful melodies enchanting the whole of mankind, and showing the light to the
rest of the world”.
Let love flow from your
hearts. Love is unlimited. Your love is
unlimited. Your attention is on material things and you are
talking about eternity. Your attention should merge in
eternity, so that you will have eternal life.
You are officials of
God’s kingdom – then why are you sulking? All deities are
your elder brothers in this kingdom. They are present in many
forms along the path of Kundalini. You should recognize them
and attain them. Kundalini is your Mother.
Learn to always remain under Her care. Be Her child,
and She will take you to the Ultimate. Once you accomplish
that, from where everything is born, you will have the rest very
easily!
But you are not
consistent in the practice of meditation, love, and a peaceful life.
You are talking casually even to me. But how eager you
are in worldly matters! How adamant you become on having what
you want! Why are you not casual in that respect
instead? Do not run away from the reality because I am
Mahamaya! Attain Me; I am yours! I am for
you. I have given you that which has been beyond the reach of
very great sages and saints. How will you make use of
it? You have been given a very big asset.
Thousands of stars and planets were created with just its one
wave!
There is great
significance to your rebirth. But you, yourselves, have to
achieve that – you, yourselves have to find the meaning of “SWA” (Self)! Sahaja
Yogis can do it. It is a big contrivance.
I have told you the secret, but what have you achieved?
Nobody sulks, having been benefited. ‘You are unhappy’
means you have not been benefited! If you achieve the trick,
you will open the gate of Joy and forget yourself, while enjoying the
bliss!
Nobody becomes happy from
worldly matters. I have given you the key to the treasure,
which others haven’t got. But you must work to open the
Door! You have taken everything casually.
You want Mataji to feed you, to wake you up in the morning, to make you
sit in meditation, and to clean you of anger, hatred etc…
Today is the day of Guru
Puja. What ‘Guru Dakshina’ (Gif to the Guru) have you given
me? Understand that your money is not worth the dust on the
feet of your Mother Guru! You should give your hearts – only
clean and holy hearts. You must clean your physical
beings. Do not be lazy in that. Make a
vow! You must get up early in the morning and spend at least one hour on
meditation and worshipping. Perform ‘Aarti’ and meditation in
the evening.
Satan’s disciples work
hard at a funeral place [a dead place]. I cannot understand
why you are taking everything so casually! Stop all
gossiping! Leave all jealousies and quarrels! Time never
waits for anyone. Do you want to go empty-handed, despite
having the Key to the Treasure?!
If you do not accept
God’s kingdom, Satan’s kingdom will come, and you will have yourself to blame
for it! Remember, because you Sahaja Yogis are dear people,
[that] you have been selected as officials. If you ignore it,
on the one hand you will be deprived of a great source of joy, and on the other
hand, you will lose your authority, due to the incomplete knowledge of Sahaja
Yoga. Hence, be wise and stand firm! Every
movement has thousands of directions. Let your rays spread in different
directions.
You will do the welfare to the whole world. Get over
your ‘inaction to act’! You are to be captains!
Let God’s melodies be sounded
from your flutes.
Transcend in your
feelings above those who have not been realized and blessed, and God’s kingdom
will be yours. May you get that auspiciousness?
All my efforts are for that! You have been made like
temples. Keep it clean.
Some of you
are enjoying yourselves in the ocean of bliss! My blessings
are that all of you should be happy. Your worldly life and
satisfaction should be of the same level. A Sahaja Yogi’s
satisfaction and the circumstances he is in, are balanced.
Both of our legs grow together! If one leg is shorter
than the other, you will become lame! I do not want to tell
you to lower the level of your circumstances, if the contentment is
less. But a Sahaja Yogi’s satisfaction does not depend on
circumstances. He is happy in the circumstances that are
prevailing. If he is not, then his satisfaction is
superficial, and not from within! May God grant you an
eternal place at His feet!
Your Mother,
Nirmala
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
