I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset I have to say that truth is what it is. You cannot describe it. You cannot change it. You cannot proclaim it. You have to experience it. If you do not have the experience of truth, no use doing any meditation, any all kinds of nonsense that’s going on all over the world.

It’s very important because I call this as the blossom time. Is the time where the last judgment has to happen. And in this last judgment you are going to decide whether you want the truth or untruth.

So I would request you also not to believe Me blindfolded. We have had lots of problems from blind faith. But whatever I am telling you if it proves then as honest people you better accept. Because it’s for your benevolence. Benevolence of your family and benevolence of the whole world.

Coming to the point what is the truth. In modern times there are so many seekers of truth. But they don’t know what they are seeking. They are seeking and seeking and they are branded as seekers. But what are you seeking? What you are seeking is your evolution. Not just talking, not doing some course but you are seeking your higher being that you are not this body, this mind, this ego, these conditionings, emotions but you are the pure spirit. And you are seeking that. And as a result until you become the spirit you will go on seeking. Blindly going to this place, to that place, becoming bankrupt sometimes.

One must understand for our evolution we have not paid anything. We have achieved this human awareness without doing any effort. You don’t have to stand on your heads. You don’t have to take sannyas and nothing of the kind. It’s not outside. The evolution is within and takes place.

I’m already told that you know everything about this Kundalini business. This Kundalini is your Mother. She is your individual Mother. She knows everything about you. She knows what has been your past and what are your aspirations. She knows everything but we must also ask Her to rise, Her to be awakened and it will work. I’m sure it will work. The centers about which you have been told are responsible for our physical, mental and emotional being.

It’s a very old thing that people knew about it. I was surprised I went to Kyiv in Ukraine. I went to see the museum and they had all the paintings of Kundalini there, of all the centers. I was amazed and that too on terracotta they had done it. They had made this terracotta not with any wheel, with machine but just with the hand. I don’t know how they did it. And they had all the pictures there. I went to Colombia, Bolivia and there too they knew everything about Kundalini, right side, left side, central side, everything. And they said we knew all this but we didn’t know how to awaken. Imagine!

So this knowledge is not only from India. It was spread all over the world. All those who were saints all over the world knew about it. In the Bible also is written that, I will appear before you as tongues of flames. These chakras really look like that, living flames, very beautiful colors. But all this inner knowledge, though everybody knew, got lost because people at the helm of affairs started diverting the attention of people from spirit to other things.

So we find all religions are nothing but money oriented or they are power oriented. They are fighting for lands, not for peace, not for this spirit that is within. And when we talk of peace, want to have peace, we are not at peace with ourselves. How can we have peace? Those who have no peace within themselves, how can they give peace?

The peace is within us and a person will achieve that state of peace and joy. That person doesn’t ask for anything to be achieved. It is already achieved. We are jumped in the sea, ocean of joy.

So many things can happen and I’ve told you that these centers are responsible for physical, mental and emotional being. I’ve seen people becoming poets overnight, becoming musicians, becoming artists, becoming orators, writing books. It’s surprising how their potential is expressed. You must have heard about England having lots of problems with unemployment, but not one single Sahaja Yogi is without a job, because attention becomes so much enlightened. Attention as described by Christ, it becomes pure and innocent.

He was so subtle to say, thou shalt not have adulterous eyes. That means in the eyes there should be no lust and greed. It’s not possible you cannot take out your eye, wash it and put it back. The problem is within. But when this Kundalini rises, there’s a spark in your eyes, sparkling eyes and this innocent glance is so powerful. Because it’s full of compassion, pure love, such a person can put attention to anyone, anywhere in the world and this attention acts, this works. All these powers are within you that you have not achieved. You have never known, but it’s there and you should experience your own powers and see for yourself how you can help yourself and how you can help others.

Because the second thing that happens to you, that you become connected with the All-Pervading Power of Divine Love. As a result you get connected to everyone because you develop a new dimension in your awareness which is known as collective consciousness. Yogi has described it, he has talked about it, he went up to a point. But you all can have it, you all can get it. You’re all absolutely worthy of it. It’s your own power that is going to give you this. You’re not obliged to Me or obliged to anyone, but obliged to your own Mother Kundalini who does this job. She’s so anxious to give you your second one.

And you can’t pay. This is what people don’t understand. You see here, see beautiful flowers. You see there, we don’t know that it’s a miracle to have these different flowers so beautifully created by this Mother Earth. How does she do it? We never even think about it. It’s a miracle. And miracle is done by this All-Pervading Power of Divine Love.

This Divine Love flows through you by which so many things you can do. First of all you feel for the first time the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost, the cool breeze of the Paramachaitanya, first time. Well you have to accept. You have not to doubt that once you get it. And then you should know how to use it, how to use this power.

After all you see the whole world is full of chaos, full of confusion and full of nonsense. You are the ones who can help. You are the ones who can emit this power to others and you can solve the problem. Not only you are seeking it for yourself but for everyone who wants to have it. Of course you can’t force it. You cannot be forced. It is spontaneous no doubt but you cannot force on a person who doesn’t want to have it.

It’s very simple but one must know that behind the simplicity there’s a very big organization that is working it out. See all these lights here. It’s very easy just to put on these lights with one switch but there’s a big organization, big potential energy that is working it out. In the same way there is a very big power. You have to feel it without and within and to understand it.

This attention when it becomes so pure and so innocent people are surprised. Most of them used to think that they have lost their innocence. You cannot lose it. It’s an eternal thing. Some clouds may be there but they just disappear and innocence shines.

I have seen people from sixty-five countries arrive in India. I have never seen them quarrelling, fighting, arguing. Of course they pull each other’s legs quite a lot, that’s different and have lot of fun. But life becomes a fun, just fun and understanding that you are in the kingdom of God. You are no more in trouble.

Physically you are cured. Of course most of the diseases can be cured by you yourself. Mentally you are at peace with yourself. All these modern diseases of stress and strain and all that just disappear. Because Kundalini pierces through your fontanel bone area and She makes connection with this all-pervading power, everything gets dissolved into that and all the time you find you are helped. All the time miracles happen one after another and you are surprised.

I don’t want to describe them here today. You for yourself you should see what are these miracles and what is happening and how you are helped in life. You are not alone because now you are in the collective. You are a part and parcel of the whole. You are not alone and we are all in different countries, we are all brothers and sisters. We are all together, all relations, so close that something happens to one person the whole world knows about it. So the loneliness of life finishes and you enjoy the company of others. Never get bored, never get bored because you enjoy yourself.

The light of the Spirit has to come. That is very important because without the light we are blind and we follow all kinds of things. They were telling Me now new type of tantric some nonsense has started in Canada. Now try to understand that this is another Rajneesh nonsense. As you must have seen now here, this point I want to stress, you see this red center is the center that we call as the Mooladhara chakra. This center is the one which looks after, you can say, even the sex and is below the Kundalini. You just see that. It is below the Kundalini. So when the Kundalini rises you become like a child. So this nonsense of this kind of a yoga is absolutely absurd.

Christ has said you have to become like children when you have to enter into the kingdom of God. Now don’t try to get another Rajneesh prosper in Canada. People told Me that now Canadians are taking to this stupid thing again. One after the another they are coming.

I am warning you as a Mother. The other day one fellow had come, I don’t know where he is now today, last time, and he told Me he’s lost all his money, everything. I said, where? He said, I gave it to Dalai Lama. For what? Dalai Lama is just buying gold from everywhere. Don’t you know that? But he said, Mother, my everything is lost within. What has happened to us, what has happened to our intelligence? Why not we think that a person who is taking money to buy gold, what has he got to do with God, with Christ, with Shri Krishna?

Because we are used to it. We think we must pay, we must pay not for this. And in America when I came first time, in Boston they asked Me how many Rolls Royces I had. I said, I have none. My husband has only one car, that’s all. So you are not in the business? I said, no, not at all. They said, we are not interested in you. Just imagine.

If with that mentality if you go towards God, towards Spirit, you’ll never get it. You cannot pay for it. This is very important. And once you decide that, half of them will run away. They have come here to lynch you. The Sanadhabara who teaches you how to move the pendulum. I never knew such a person existed. But in Washington they all came, said, Mother, we sold our houses, taken out our children from school and all that, whatever, what happened? A gentleman told them that you can control the mind of other persons. So he called somebody, made him stand on the stage, gave him a pendulum and he said, now, see, he will move the pendulum. And the pendulum started moving. So we believed in him. We wanted to control the mind of others. I said, all right. But have you come on this earth to move pendulums? What is the value of your life? Have you evaluated why are you a human being on this earth at this time? How could you waste your energy on moving a pendulum? You are seekers of truth.

I’m not just trying to praise you but you have to be glorified and not to be made stupid fools, taking away all your money. How can that be? A simple thing should be understood, that materialism has nothing to do with spirituality. But spirituality has something to do with materialism. When you become spiritual, you’ll be amazed, your problems will be solved. How? Because your attention is all right. Because of your beautiful attention you can do wonders. The brain which is only used, I don’t know how much part a human being uses the brain, becomes enlightened and you become an enlightened intelligent man.

Now your intelligence cannot cheat you. Moreover this mind is what is nothing but your own creation through your conditionings and your ego you have created this mind. Most unreliable thing is your own mind. You have to go beyond that mind. And Kundalini takes you there where this mind is no more, you are in thoughtless awareness.

When that happens you see the whole thing like a witness. Just like a witness, it’s a drama. Whole thing is a big drama. But you can help. You are sitting in a drama for example and you see something, you start even weeping and cry with the whole thing thinking that you are being harassed and you have been troubled. When the drama is over you are surprised, it’s just a drama in the same way. It happens to us that we find all this nonsense as a drama. But we cannot help the actor on the stage. Here we can.

Here our attention can help everyone whom you want to help. And in such a beautiful manner it doesn’t harm you, it doesn’t harm anybody. On the contrary it just elevates a person to a very noble and to a very dignified personality. Our ideas, whatever we have formed from books here and there, get completely in order and we understand what is the truth and what is not the truth.

Now do you know truth is love and love is truth? Supposing you love somebody, you know everything about that person. For people who are intelligent they think truth is separated. No, no. Absolutely one. Compassion is truth and truth is compassion. But the compassion that you get is the one that flows to others. All selfishness, all jealousies and all these petty nonsensical things just drop out. And nobody can trouble you also because you are protected. You are protected by your goodness.

There’s no end to it as Jeffrey has already told you everything. He’s told Me I need not say anything to you. And of course I know people have some questions in their mind and I would like to know the questions that you have. You may write to Me and I’m sure I’ll be able to answer. If not Me somebody else will answer for me. But it is a very simple thing. It’s not a mental acrobat or it’s not some sort of a question and answer this and that. It’s something of getting which you deserve, which you have to have, is your right. Every seeker has this right.

Sahaja means, saha means with, jo is born. Many saints in our country have talked about it. Guru Nanaka has said it, sahaja samadhi raga. You get your enlightenment sahaja. Everyone has said that but I don’t know why people take to something very hazardous and difficult. And this saha means with, jo is born with you, is the right to get your Self-realization. These are special times. I call them blossom time but also very difficult. You cannot stop people from being cruel, immoral, absolutely ridiculous. You cannot stop. But when it happens you see the beauty. Just like lotuses come out of ponds like that I have seen people so fragrant and so beautiful.

But ultimately I would say above all you jump in the ocean of joy. And joy is singular. It’s not like happiness, unhappiness but joy is singular. You enjoy everything. Everything that you see you enjoy. And enjoyment is such that you cannot describe, it is to be experienced.

I hope next time when I come you all will become great saints and great trees of Sahaja Yoga, giving realizations to many. That’s what you have to do. You have to do it not only in Canada but all over. Now we had to get people from America and also from England, India. I wish some Canadians could go abroad to do this great work and enjoy themselves. Thank you very much. May God bless you.

It will take hardly ten minutes for you, only hardly ten minutes. I have to again tell you that I cannot force it on you. If you don’t want to have it, it’s perfectly all right. It cannot be forced. But if you stay here when others are having it, you might disturb others. So best thing is I would request you to leave the hall if you don’t want to have your realization. There’s no problem, nothing happens to you. All these descriptions you have read about Kundalini, that it burns you and there’s all nonsense, I’ve never seen it happening.

So please believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself. Just be pleasantly placed towards yourself, firstly. I find some of you are still little unhappy or maybe you’re thinking of something that was not very kind to you, doesn’t matter. Now the first thing is that you have to be very pleasantly placed upon yourself. Means you should have no guilt, no confessions, no guilt, nothing. At this moment you should know they are not guilty at all. Please know that. This is a fashion also, people are guilty for anything. I know of a gentleman who spilled some coffee sometimes and he’s still feeling guilty about it. I said, must be funny. Whatever has happened, has happened in the past, we are talking about the present, you have to be in the present and for that please first of all forgive yourself. Just forgive yourself.

That’s very important. And the second one is that you must forgive everyone. Now many say it’s very difficult to forgive, very difficult. But what do you do if you don’t forgive? What do you do? Nothing, it’s just mental. Nothing you do. Actually if you don’t forgive then you torture yourself for nothing at all and you play into wrong hands. So best thing is to forgive. Forgive everyone. Don’t even think about those who have troubled you because that’s another headache. Just say in your hearts, I forgive everyone in general. Finished.

Now these two are not very difficult conditions, I hope so. And you realize that by this there’s an obstruction. If the left Vishuddhi, this portion here, can you show them? This one gets into jeopardy. If you feel guilty, this one, then minimum you’ll get is spondylitis, minimum. You might get angina. Also you’ll get lethargic organs because of this one center on the left hand side due to your so-called guilt will be there. So why feel guilt? Then the chakra here is the center of the optic chiasma is, you see like this, absolutely like this, like a cross. And it won’t open unless and until you forgive others. It won’t open, it’s very constricted. So when you forgive others it opens and that’s how the Kundalini is going to pass.

At this moment is very important in your life. You’ll realize you must allow this Kundalini to pass through your Agnya and then pierce through your fontanel bone area which is a baptism, actualization of baptism. It’s not some priest coming and putting water on your head but actually it happens.

So whatever I have said also I’ve told you that has physical problems. So better just listen to Me and don’t be miserable. You know in France I went and they told Me, Mother, people are very miserable here. They are not going to believe You because You are such a happy person. I said, why? Why are they miserable? They are very miserable because I told them very good reason in Paris what I find, every third or fourth lamppost, you see, there’s a prostitute standing, every tenth lamppost what you find is a pub where people are just coming out like that, falling on the street and others are going inside to pay and again come back and fall on the street. So it’s going to be like that. They will be miserable no doubt, I mean they want misery. When they see somebody falling on the street, why go inside? But they do. So you see they look very miserable. So the first time I spoke there, you must have read the book, Les Miserables, so I addressed them, Les Miserables. You see it’s a fashion to say how miserable I am, make everyone miserable saying that I am very miserable. You are not. You are the pure Spirit. The Spirit is the source of joy and bliss. How can you be miserable?

And it works. It works very well. Even Mohammed Sahab had talked about it very clearly that unless and until you know yourself you cannot know Allah, you cannot know God. Everybody has said the same thing. I don’t know what they are doing. I don’t know what they are up to. Let us now enter into the reality. You must know the reality. And then when our eyes are open we can see. Kabir Das has said, how can I explain they are all blind? Kese samajah hu, samajah gandha. Now let’s open our eyes and become joyful, blissful people. God has not forgotten us. We have forgotten. He’s not forgotten. As I said it will take ten minutes and I hope nobody will get up and walk during that time. At the most ten minutes.

Now the Sahaja Yoga has taken a speed and works much faster than before. I would request you to put both your hands towards Me like this, just like this. But you have to take out your shoes. If possible take out your shoes. And better to take out also glasses. Just to put both the hands like this. Just like this. Simple.

Now as you know that these are all finger tips which are the seven centers on the right hand side, seven centers on the left hand side of the sympathetic nervous system, endings of the sympathetic nervous system. And when you are putting your hands like this they are getting a cool breeze. They are getting the divine power flowing into it.

Now you can put down your head a little, put the left hand towards Me and put the right hand on top of your head on the fontanel bone area. But bend your head is very important. Now see for yourself with the right hand on top of your head away from it. Some people get it very close to the head and some much above, but don’t put your hand on top of the head, above, and move your hand and see for yourself if there’s a cool or a hot breeze coming out of your fontanel bone area. It’s a breeze like vibrations. Please bend your head.

Now please put your right hand towards Me like this and again put down your head and see with the left hand if there’s a cool or a hot breeze coming out of your fontanel bone area which was a soft bone in your childhood. Please see for yourself.

Now if it is hot means you have not forgiven yourself nor you have forgiven others, one of the things. So please do that. Please forgive yourself and forgive others and now see which will cool down.

Now once more. Please put again the left hand towards Me and put down your head and see for yourself with the right hand if there is a cool or a hot breeze coming out of your head. Now I hope you have forgiven yourself or forgiven others and it is cooler.

Now please put both your hands towards the sky like this and push back your head. Here you have to ask one of the three questions, only one, three times. The first question you have to ask. You can call Me Mother or you can call Me Shri Mataji, whatever you feel like. Mother first question is, is this the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost? Second question is, Mother is this the All Pervading Power of Divine Love? The third question is Mother is this the Param Chaitanya, Alakhni Ranjan as they call it. Now ask any one of these questions three times.

Now put down your hands. Please put down your hands. Now put both the hands towards Me again and watch Me if possible without thinking. Please put both the feet apart from each other, is important. Those who are sitting on the ground are alright for others. You can put on your glasses and you can watch without thinking.

Now all those who have felt cool or hot breeze on the finger tips or in the palm or out of the fontanel bone area, please raise both your hands, both the hands. All those who have felt, may God bless you. Bye. Please. Thank you very much.

You all have got it. Some haven’t got, maybe, maybe something wrong which we’ll see about it, what has happened. Very few haven’t got it and they should come to our centers where you don’t have to pay again I must say. Come to our center and if there’s any problem they’ll solve for you. But one thing you must know it. You must become a master of it.

Anybody, women, men, anybody can become master and can do such a lot of work. It’s a very much necessary today that we should all not only achieve ourself this higher life and noble life, but we should ourselves give it to others, very important. And we have to spread it. We have to spread it.

Canada is one of the countries where I find is people are less than normal. America is the least. They are still having some sort of, I don’t know what, another moving of the pendulum I think. But I find you people are much wiser so you take to it and find out more like you and give it to them. You’ll really enjoy yourself no doubt, really enjoy yourself. So My message is that enjoy yourself, enjoy, may God bless you.

Agana chaat kaalu, they may like to sing one song, I don’t know, some bhajan, so you can clap and it will help. Now you’ll be amazed that these are also Canadian people and some English, of course there are some Indians also, but imagine they are singing Sanskrit songs and how can they sing these Indian songs? It’s very difficult with proper pronunciation. I never taught them anything. I don’t know how they have done it, I can’t understand. I’m told you gave very good songs. Next time I must also hear. Come forward. Come forward. Come forward.
