Shri Adishakti Puja Date : 1st August 1982 Place : Cheltenham Type : Puja Speech : English Language CONTENTS I Transcript English 02 - 04 Hindi - Marathi - II Translation English - Hindi - Marathi - ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPT ENGLISH TALK [Informally, before the speech/puja to some persons] Shri Mataji: Just help him, one person can't do it, somebody else. Marcus, Nick, anyone, just help him out, it's too much for one person, just help him, please. Alan, go and tell Bai to bring My handkerchief from My… I've got My pur– No, no, it's all right, it's here, with My purse have you brought it? Yes, it's here. Don't worry, don't worry! Man: Here's Your purse Mother. Shri Mataji: Have the Americans come, those who have done the Puja, have they come? Are they here? Man: Yes. Shri Mataji: Oh, they are here. Then it's all right. And, in these new centers, have you started with Puja anywhere? No, yours [speaks to a specific country/leader, maybe India – ed.] is all right, I'm asking about England. Gavin: Any centers in Britain, where there are new people…?]… Shri Mataji: Cheltenham, for example, where is Alan, ask him. A man speaks: He's just gone out for now.] Gavin: Any centers in Britain any new people here, right now? Shri Mataji: If you have introduced them to puja I don't mind, but if they have never been introduced to puja then you have to be careful. From their good point of view. I am sorry I had to say this, because yesterday the load was too much, you know I couldn't speak even and, lifting the Kundalini was like raising hundred donkeys on your head, it was too much. And all these half-baked people are such that they are like dog-in-the-manger, they won't have it and they won't allow others to have it. They'll argue before the program, before the meeting starts, before the puja starts, specially. Because they won't want you to enjoy the fruits of the puja; they'll spoil your attention, they'll argue, discuss – […? just sit down.] What is there to argue in Sahaj Yoga? You have to take, that's the point is, you have to take, there's nothing to argue. How much you take is the point. And the worst part is that they don't want to grow and they want to pull you down. So, unless and until they are introduced to the idea of puja beforehand – then they start understanding the worth of puja, otherwise they do not, how will they understand? You see, it's beyond them. So, you should not make them attend any puja, minimum, and also seminars I would say. Because seminars are meant for people who are intensively in Sahaj Yoga, to intensify their awareness, not for people who are half-baked, who are Doubting Thomases; all these kind of people are absolutely useless, you should never bring them to seminar! Whether it's your son, father, brother, mother, sister, husband, wife, nothing. You shouldn't bring anybody who is not fully awakened Sahaj Yogi, because seminars are meant for very intensive work. And what I find, always these people will argue with Me, they are the first to question, they have something to say [Shri Mataji laughing:], they are the ones, sahaj yogis are keeping quiet and receiving… I don't mind even that, what happens in the seminar, you have to receive more, and they do not receive, their attention is outside, they are disturbing everyone. So, seminars are even, in a way, more important than an ashram, because in ashram there's no other problem but to fight them out. But here, in a new place we go, we have to fight out all surroundings, the place itself has to be cleansed, everything has to be done. On top of that you have these terrible people around you, whom you have to 2 Original Transcript : English convince. If they are not convinced, why are they here? Why did they spend so much money to come down? Be sure, they have come here to disturb us. I'm sorry we had to do that way. I wish people could be simple, straight forward, uncomplicated, and sensitive, but they are not. They are not sensitive people. They don't understand what are they up to. By that they destroy themselves, no doubt, but they destroy part of you also… and also trouble Me. Yesterday, it was too heavy, you know that. Such a deep subject and it was too heavy for Me. If they say they feel bad, all right, tell them: “We are sorry, we can't help.” See, there are certain points where we have to have our freedom to allow those who can come in. That's the point where we close the door. And there's nothing wrong with it, because you have to equip more to pull them out. It has been always our practice, since long, there's nothing new about it, everyone knows, not only in England, or any other place, even in India: we never allowed anybody to come for the Puja who was not a realized soul, and who was not a sahaj yogi. From the very beginning, wherever we tried that we found it was very difficult. So I hope there's nobody sitting here with a doubting mind. If somebody's there he should with all sincerity leave the hall and leave us alone, for the ascent. Anybody who has doubts should be kind and generous about it. It's a very serious work we are doing. It's not of making money or of throwing an enterprise or building a house or something like that. It's not even just making creations of worlds, it's much more than that, it's a very serious work we are doing and we don't want anybody to cut our attention. Even some of the Sahaj Yogis I know, are half-baked. They must be corrected, all right, doesn't matter, but they have been exposed to pujas so it will do them good not bad. But some people are just anti-God, and they have allergies for God, any work you'd start doing in the name of God, they are so allergic, they react. These are anti-God allergies, and they express themselves by different, funny methods. Now, all the sahaj yogis must know this, then you will not go too far with them. You will, you should discover this in anyone this allergy existing. You should say: “Sorry, we have nothing to do with you” So that is for the people who have to have the privilege of this worship. Today is specially a great privilege because it was not so planned but it worked out, just worked out. Yesterday, we did lots of cleansing. Now today tell your mind to rest for a while. Tell your thoughts to stop for a while, and receive, receive more of it. Everybody has benefited by this reception but you have to receive more. There's a capacity within you to receive. Puja, as I have told you many-a-times, is not for My benefit, by any chance, take it from Me. I am much better off without it. Because when the enthusiastic deities start emitting vibrations with your asking because you are saints. You see they just, they are over-enthusiastic. And they are sitting there, busy bodies, you know, they are sitting quietly waiting for a chance, you see. To emit vibrations, to save you, you see they want to just rush. They emit so much that they lose, just wait, just wait. They want to save you, they want to give you, they are so anxious, in their anxiety you see? I like it, to see the way they are anxious. But you don't suck it, I have a problem there. Once they have given they don't want to take it back. You don't suck it so it has to go to the atmosphere, it has to disappear somewhere. Is directed towards you and you don't take it; so where does it go? It hanks into My tissues, it pains Me. So, sucking should be more. Sucking should be more. And just before the Puja you should say: “Mother, make me such that I suck more of the Divine!” Just pray that, with sincerity from your heart, just say that. There's another beautiful gesture I have seen, in Uzbekistan, it's very good. They put both the hands on their heart like this, and just press it, bending their head, asking. See it creates a vacuum. That's how they bow. [long silence] It's beautiful! That's very nice today. So, let the children come here. Aja,… [some words in Hindi] Now, sit there, all of you sit down, all right? Sit down now, sit down, sit down! Now, come along, Mathew is also coming, sit down there, sit down, come along, let's see, sit down. Now all the children are very sweet, they are going to sit down. Come along, sit down, sit down, nicely. [some Hindi words with a child; a kind of joking] 3 Original Transcript : English [continuing in English to the child:]… All right, now, should give Me the flowers now, so would be better for you to have vibrations, thank you. Thank you very much, thank you very much.
