"There is no fundamentalism in Sahaja Yoga"
1992-0301 Talk after Shivaratri Puja from Sahaja Library on Vimeo.
There is no fundamentalism in Sahaja Yoga. Nobody should use my words or say: ‘Mother said so’, nobody should, that is how all these hierarchies have been built, in the churches everywhere, everybody can read, everybody can find out." "Whatever I’ve said nobody remembers only they use my name, Mother said so in 1970. In 1970 I never spoke in English. So all these historical utterances, should not be used. We live in the present. That time maybe, the situation was such I might have said something, but today the situation is different. Maybe because Sahaja Yogis were just coming to Sahaja Yoga, maybe they needed some sort of a guideline. It’s a journey, first of all. It’s a journey. ...

"It’s only the Sahaja Yogis who can blacken or enlighten the Name of God Almighty"
1985-1117 Diwali from Sahaja Library on
It is through your behaviour, through your pure lights, through your fragrance, people are going to know God Almighty. There are some, which can blacken the Face; they are lights no doubt, but can blacken the Face if there are impurities, blacken the Face of the Divine, blacken the Face of your Creator. And that is what, one has to be careful, that we are not blackening the Name of God by our misbehaviour.
Now listen to me very carefully, if there is no light out of the lamp, it does not blacken nor enlighten. But if there is a light it can blacken as well as enlighten. It’s only the Sahaja Yogis who can blacken or enlighten the Name of God Almighty. Say, for example, if you have a fake man, he doesnt blacken the Name of God because he is himself black, so nobody’s bothered about that. If there is a person who is teaching about God or talking about God, about religion and making money out of it, he blackens his own name. He does not blacken the Name of God Almighty. The Name of God, cannot be blackened, It’s ever shining.
But it’s only a Sahaja yogi which can form that cloud to cover It. They can only finish the hope of this world. They can only bring the real destruction of this world. They will be held responsible. And they should be punished in time, so that the Name of God should not be ruined. For they have been given the right to enter into the Kingdom of God, others are outside. They are the only ones who can abuse the right. Those who are outside this building cannot spoil it. You have the special privilege to enter into this beautiful building. You have got this right because of the great things you have done in previous lives.
And if you now want to spoil it, you’d better understand that you will be very severely punished. The light which can enlighten can also burn. But this light will burn all those who try to burn the Kingdom of God. So on a Diwali day let us know that we should have the lamps, burnt in such a way that it has purest of pure love in it. Not a lip service, lip service of love, but from your heart, it should pour, like the Nature pours all its blessings upon you.

Power in Sahaja Yoga
... when human beings came, they got their freedom. That’s the only, I should say, species which fell into the maya of thinking and of having the ego in them. With this ego, a maya worked on them, I should say, and they forgot about the principle that created this universe – they took it for granted. They felt that this is their own right that they are there, this is their own achievement, and they are the owners of everything.
This started working in their minds so much that they invaded other countries, they destroyed so many people and they never felt bad about it. All their lives they have been thinking about aggressing others, controlling others and doing all kinds of harmful things. But they never even thought or never did an introspection to see that what we are doing is very, very wrong and it should not be done. Because of the freedom they have; such a turmoil in this world and the people who were in charge of affairs, they were very, very cruel and extremely – had no feelings for the other people. And this happened so many times on this earth.
Now Sahaja Yoga has started. Once Sahaja Yoga has started, we have Sahaja Yogis who are now receiving the blessings of the Adi Shakti directly. But still, I must say, amongst Sahaja Yogis also, we don’t have people whom I would call as very well matured. They are Sahaja Yogis, some of them, are just because it’s a fashion, maybe it should be better from their angle, or from their selfish angle, or whatever it is. It is a very wrong thing.
If you are in Sahaja Yoga, you must know now you are responsible for the whole world. You are the only people who have come forward, you are the only people who have achieved something and then, at this juncture, you should behave in a manner that behoves a big saint or a realized soul.
But sometimes you find they are behaving in such a manner, it is shocking sometimes. They have no respect for themselves or for others and their whole attitude is very funny. Some of them are money oriented, some of them are power oriented and those who are power oriented are more dangerous I think than money oriented. Because those who are power oriented try to bring such a bad name to Sahaja Yoga. They are very insulting, dominating and horrible people. Their whole attitude is to achieve power in Sahaja Yoga and they try all tricks to achieve that power.
But for sometime they look alright, but after some time you’ll find, they’ll all disappear from the field of Sahaja Yoga. It’s a very big cleansing process going on. You must understand that you have come in the field of very high consciousness where you are in contact with the divine. Now here if you behave like ordinary people who have no divinity within them, how long will you continue like this? So this is very important that you should try to meditate and evolve yourselves and become really very good Sahaja Yogis.

No hierarchy in Sahaja Yoga
Now leadership is just hocus-pocus I must tell you.
If somebody says Mother you become the leader I say no (Mother laughs), I know, I know that joke. So it’s a joke, leadership is a joke you see and if you know it’s a joke then only you’ll work it out better.
Because you see it is this, there’s nothing like hierarchy in Sahaja Yoga, as you know we are all one, same. We cannot say that hands are better than feet and the feet is better than this, nothing of the kind. In the same way everything is very important and everything circulates like the blood cells, so we do not say that this blood cell is good and that blood cell is bad or this blood cell is higher, that blood cell is higher, in the same way everybody is circulating, so one should not have any fear.
Also fear of the leader should not be there, there’s no need to fear the leader. If you are on your gravity you keep to it. He will understand you, as long as leader is on the gravity he’ll be there, as soon as you go away, goes away from the gravity he’ll go away himself.
So you stand on your own gravity point and nobody can disturb you, you should have no fear, nothing, nothing to bother in Sahaja Yoga. As it is you are all saints, what is there to bother, the whole Ganas, all the angels, all this all pervading power is looking after you.

"Mother said so"
And there are so many other things I have heard about that people just say that: “Mother said so, Mother said so.” I mean, it’s going to become another, really, a fundamental religion, Sahaja Yoga? Not at all. You see, it’s like a spiral. Sahaja Yoga is like a spiral. Spiral has the beginning, but end is eternity. You have to move on. If you go like this, delimiting yourself, what will happen? I don’t want to delimit you, by any chance. You are realized souls, you are saints. Assume your powers. Only thing, you must go deep down into yourself first of all, and see for yourself.
You see, knowledge is so extensive. I never said: “Don’t read any other book.” I never said so, there’s a – they said: “Mother said that don’t read any other book.” How can I say such a nonsensical thing? I never said so. You should read, and whatever is needed, you should be selective; and you yourself only see that whatever is good is there, you should have.
And I never said that all the pop music is bad, I said some pop music is very bad. That’s my own opinion. But I am leaving it to you to decide what you like, what you don’t like. You see, that is how you are going to judge yourself. All this kind of saying that: “Mother said so,” indeed it’s another false-style behavior, which one should not follow at all. Nobody has right to say that. Anybody who says: “Mother said so,” you should keep quiet. You can yourself find out. You see, “Bible says so” - everybody can read Bible, there’s no need for somebody to quote it that: “Bible said so,” we’ll see for Bible ourselves.
Otherwise, what will be the difference between you and others, other religions, where people have faltered with this kind of a fundamental things?
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Talk on Arrival at Burwood, Sydney, 27 February 1992
Truth is the only thing that is constructive. All these ideas sometimes confuse us, what is this, in the name of God, in the name of Shri Krishna, in the name of Christ, in the name of Mohammed Sahib all these things are done and also some people do it even in my name, "Mother said, Mother said so." It is prohibited for Sahaja yogi to say that because I've had enough of it in last lives. So this life nobody is going to say, "Mother said it."
"I say." Have that much confidence and responsibility to say, "I say." I am a Sahaja Yogi, you are a Sahaja Yogi, why can't you say?
