Something Wrong

If there is a problem which you are facing all the time, then know that there is a problem with you, that there is something wrong with the instrument, and it has to be corrected. We have had experiences of things working out, of many miracles happening before our eyes – but still the attention has not settled down with these new experiences. Still the old experiences and identifications continue – the filth of that is still on your being. Change everything, become a fresh new person. You are blooming out as a flower, and then as a tree – assume your position as a Sahaja Yogi (1983-0723.3)

In the light of the spirit you can see, how you are doing wrong. The Spirit is like a mirror, where you can see yourself clearly, and you start changing yourself. When you have your Spirit awakened, you can watch yourself… you can see for yourself, clearly, as soon as you become a developed or evolved Sahaja Yogi… and that’s one point one should see… if it has happened to you. If you can see something wrong with you… if you can find out what sort of defects you have… if you can detach yourself from those defects, and if you can understand that all these attachments and defects and habits are pulling you down – then only you can leave them… but that only happens when you have this mirror of your Self shining through (1998-0712)

In these modern times you must know that all these evil things are also lingering in your heads little bit, here and there. So the Sahaja Yogis which are today here, have to realise that all these things are surrounding us… and these evil forces are also there. There are some within us… some are without… so it looks to be a very difficult task… but it’s not… because one condition, if you can understand… is that you have to recognise me. I know, I’m Mahamaya… I’m really very clever at it… but I’m truthful… but still I’m Mahamaya… so to recognise me what should we do… if we recognise, then you are protected. And the cleansing is the simplest thing in Sahaja Yoga… is to be collective. If you are not collective… then know that something wrong with you… if you are collective… if you are enjoying the collective, then you should know that you are clean… no blemish is there… you are absolutely alright (1991-1013)

Now if you are not aware enough, not alert enough, then you must know that you need ‘real’ correction… you must assert yourself, work it out, tell your leader… ‘there is something wrong with me and please correct me’ (1987-1230.1); If we feel sleepy or anything, then there’s something wrong with us… if you feel sleepy, wash your face… do something… so try to be active… try to be projecting yourself… all the time (1989-1203); Not to spend much time on the mirror… if you spend too much time on the mirror… then there’s something wrong with you… I think personally that it’s a kind of a possession maybe (1997-0823.1); Lightning is one of those things… that understands everything. If someone’s house is struck by lightning… there must be something wrong with him (1988-0921)

Collectivity is the work of Adi Shakti only, because it exists at Sahastrara. If we cannot be collective, or enjoy collectivity, then there is something wrong with us. Avoid criticising each other (1990-0923); We have to be in the collective… at the slightest provocation, people become non-collective… if they cannot have rapport with other Sahaja Yogis… cannot talk to other Sahaja Yogis… cannot live with other Sahaja Yogis… then there is something wrong with them… they must understand that there’s something wrong with them, and nothing wrong with others. I know of a Sahaja Yogi who came and told me that… ‘Mother they are very unkind to me… they are very suspicious of me… they do this and do that’… nothing of the kind… it was his own mind that was working like that, and giving him ideas against other Sahaja Yogis. So, never criticise your brothers and sisters… if you have to criticise, criticise yourself. Best is to criticise yourself, and see for yourself what’s wrong with you that you cannot fit into the collective (1986-0818)

If you think you have been very miserable, you have not been very comfortable, you have not been able to enjoy, then know that there is something wrong with you, and not with Sahaja Yoga (1987-1230.1); In Sahaja Yoga collectivity, nobody is complaining about another person as such – but if they do, then they realise there is something wrong with them (1998-0706); The sick mind that we get when we go on accepting, when someone says there is something wrong with somebody, who in fact may be quite normal, and we say yes it’s true… and it goes into our mind, and makes our mind a sick mind… is extremely dangerous, not to others, but to ourselves (1998-0321); If new people are not coming, maybe there is something wrong with you

– we have to be smart people, and spartan. We have to be deep and impressive – change your lifestyles (1989-0611)

‘Cool breeze’… is not a thing that is freezingly cold… if it is freezingly cold, that means ‘left side’. Cool breeze is actually never ‘very cold’… it’s not freezing. It could be hot with some people… it could be very cool… because of their problems… but if you are a normal person, you feel a cooler sensation… it is slightly less than your body temperature… it’s not so very cooling as to freeze you. If it is hot, there is something wrong with you (1981-0524)
