144,000

Advice by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:

"Such a time has to come, it has to work out that way, John has said that there will be only 144,000 people saved, I don’t think so, there have to be many many more, but one must remember that there is a force which is raising you upwards and there is force which is putting you down towards hell. But you have the freedom to choose the heaven or the hell." (1987-1007)

"It is said in the Bible that there will be only 144 thousand people who will enter into the kingdom of God. I do not know but perhaps we are reaching that number. It is very surprising that it is so limited. But, everybody should get Realization, that is my desire, they should all achieve that state because that is their right as human beings. Maybe it is my love that I feel everybody should achieve it." (1988-0714)

One thing one has to know that the time is precarious and important and very serious. In the Bible John in his revelation has said, ‘only 144,000 people will be realized.’ Can you imagine what a number? I’m sure already I must have given realization to about 35,000 people already. Mostly Indians of course, but what about the rest of the world? Are they all going to be left out?" (1982-0429)

"But according to John, I think, the target is over now. So now, we have to think about something unlimited. I think the Divine is anxious to get more and more people into it. He’s said it. He said 144 thousand. But we have crossed that limit definitely."(1990-0320)

"but we cannot guarantee that everybody will be there. According to John he just said 144 thousand – we have already crossed that limit. So, I don’t know how many will be there. It’s a question of one’s own seeking and also they have to deserve it. You should be worthy of it"(1992-0303)
