It is very nice to see you all again here.
I think, this is the first puja we are having in this place
and I hope, you are all comfortable
and it was convenient for you to come here.
Today is really a very great day.
It is to celebrate Adi Shakti.
What is the origin of this Adi Shakti?
I have never talked about it.
This is the first time I tell you
that Adi Shakti is the Primordial Mother
is the Power
Power of God, that wanted to create this world
and She Herself managed to create this great world.
Can't you all sit down?
There is no space for them or what?
Please be seated.
Why are they standing?
(Hindi)
There are chairs behind you.
It's alright, you can sit on chairs.
This is all falling down.
As far as possible be comfortable.
Don't strain yourself unnecessarily.
I hope you all find some place to be seated comfortably.
So, today I am going to tell you about Adi Shakti,
which is a very, very ancient subject.
Adi Shakti is the Power of God Himself
and She created this world
to bring His Kingdom on this earth.
You can imagine, there was nothing but darkness,
and out of this darkness She had to create all these beautiful, picturesque trees
and all kinds of vegetation.
That She did create.
But what is the use in having all these things,
which do not speak, do not understand,
there is no manifestation with them.
Of course, some of the trees and some of the flowers do receive beautiful vibrations
and they grow very well.
But not all, some of them.
For example, I must tell you that here, flowers have no fragrance.
All the flowers, they have no fragrance.
I have been going around to see, if there were flowers of fragrance.
But what they do is to grow them big,
they are very big, much bigger than you can find them anywhere.
But there is no fragrance.
While in a poor country like India, the flowers have tremendous fragrance
even small flowers have tremendous fragrance.
Now what is the speciality of the fragrance in India and nowhere else? Nowhere!
Some flowers maybe have a little fragrance.
But there is no fragrance in the flowers
that are grown so very beautifully, full of love and care.
But lots of wild flowers also in India have got fragance.
What is the reason?
They say that the soil of India has fragrance.
How can you have fragrance in the soil?
But it is a fact.
What I am saying is not just a story but a fact,
that in India any flower that you grow mostly has fragrance,
while here that is not the case.
Neither it is in any other country.
You go to Norway, or you go to Germany, any other country you go,
you won't find any fragrance in the flowers.
It is very shocking, why there is no fragrance in flowers.
When this world was created there was no fragrance.
But in some areas there was.
Especially in areas which we call India and otherwise.
It is unbelievable that here or anywhere abroad
there are no flowers with fragrance.
So now you are born here, you have brought the fragrance.
You are the people who are realised souls
and you have got the fragrance to spread,
so your responsibility doubles I think,
that you must spread fragrance.
Fragrance is something very innate.
Even on this soil, which we should say, is without fragrance,
the people have fragrance in their character,
in their behaviour, in their understanding.
And there is peace, which they are aspiring.
I don't say, they are peaceful, but they are aspiring to have peace.
This aspiration only suggests they are fragrant people,
that they are very fragrant.
The fragrance in a human being is his nature, his temperament,
how he is and how he behaves towards others.
All the countries all over, still are not aware
that you have to become fragrant.
If they were to be aware, then all wars will end.
Everything will finish off and they will know: we are all one.
We do not belong to different countries or anything, which we have made.
God has not made it. We have made it.
This is your country, this is their country - and countrywise we fight.
This country belongs to no one. This belongs to God.
But people stupidly fight on the countries:
that this our country, this is our country.
Now, I have travelled all over the world,
I would not say any, any country as their own.
Because, if you own a country, you should have fragrance.
You should have temperament, which will make other people feel
that you come from countries of fragrance.
You don't have to argue.
But one country fighting with another country, everywhere it goes on.
You read it in the newspaper,
all the time you see this nonsense, that countries are fighting.
And the more they are developed,the better they are
In this development of theirs, I hope they rise
and become spiritual and develop fragrance.
But this fighting spirit of human beings has come from Satan, I think.
That they are killing themselves, killing others, destroying the whole world.
You read newspaper, you feel so ashamed,
how human beings are going on.
So, all the Sahaja Yogis should not support any kind of fight.
They are here to bring fragrance to people,
to bring happiness, and joy, and not to fight.
That is one of the first duties of Sahaja yogis,
not to join anything which hates, which fights, which creates problems.
These fighting spirits have destroyed the fragrance of the soil.
If people become loving and affectionate,
this soil itself will become fragrant.
First thing we must learn is to love each other
and not to hate anyone.
There are so many ways of hating, this is also a human quality.
Animals do hate, because they are animals.
Human beings can't be animals.
We are human beings and as human beings what we should have is love, affection,
and no hatred of any kind.
Now, as you are Sahaja Yogis,
I would say that you should try to develop your loving capacity,
instead of fighting capacity or criticising others.
Very easy to criticise, but try to understand,
that our soil itself has no fragrance.
How are we to bring fragrance to this soil?
This is only, if people live here, have affection and love for each other.
This is the most important thing.
When creation took place it was only through affection.
Otherwise what was the need for nature to create all these things?
All this is for what?
To make you feel beautiful.
All these trees are beautiful to make you feel good,
to feel one with the nature.
In that way, human beings have not contributed.
No, I am not saying Sahaja Yogis.
They are rare and they are wonderful
and they have done a good job, because they consider love as the highest.
But you have to show to others also, that you want to love them
because they should love each other.
The whole world is created because there was love.
Otherwise, what was the need to waste energy on these continents
and all these different countries?
It was not to fight, was not to hate each other
or to think of no end of yourself,
but to love each other and to have more brothers and sisters.
As in Sahaja Yoga you feel that way, you have brothers and sisters all over.
Today, when I was coming,
I was so happy to see, there were people
from all over Europe and also from India.
How is it possible?
Because you have developed that love.
Because you have that innate love.
So, where ever you go, where ever you meet people, they should say:
"We have seen Sahaja Yogis, who are nothing but love."
They are not bothered as to what you are
what your position is or anything,
they only know that you are a Sahaja Yogi
and a Sahaja Yogi loves other Sahaja Yogis.
This is a very big achievement,
it was never there, as there is no fragrance in the soil,
no fragrance in the human beings.
Now that has come.
Now you have got the capacity to love each other
and to help each other and to understand each other,
not to criticise and not to insult or in any way defame them.
This I am saying, because you are all rare people who are Sahaja Yogis.
How many people are Sahaja Yogis?
You see: very few.
We have to have more Sahaja Yogis.
That they understand that we are all part and parcel of one country,
and that country is of love.
This, when it happens, then we will say that Sahaja Yoga has worked out.
Helping each other, understanding each other, that should be there.
And I think, Sahaja Yogis do understand each other
and they love each other.
But still it should go more than their limits.
Many people don't understand, that Sahaja Yoga is not for them only,
it is for the whole world.
You have to give it to others
and you have to bring forth what you call Unity of Love.
In love you don't see wrong things.
We just enjoy love,
and that is what is to be seen in today's Puja, is that:
Do we bear any hatred for anyone?
Do we have ill feeling for anyone or for any country?
You should try to examine yourself.
If you are a real Sahaja Yogi, you will hit no one,
but you love, and love as your own.
Love is the biggest thing that God has given to human beings
and that is what one has to try to develop.
I'm so happy here,
now you have come all the way to celebrate this first day.
First day of your growth as Sahaja Yoga, Sahaja Yogis.
Now, if the Sahaja Yogis spread out and become Sahaja Yogis
then your job is finished.
Because then you are enjoying the joy of oneness.
So, one has to do it in a way that we all become one.
There is nothing to criticise or to hate anyone,
but to love each other, that is the point.
And there I find there are so many Sahaja Yogis, who have achieved that loving level.
And there are some still who are struggling,
they have not come up to that level.
Some, not many.
Sahaja Yoga means, we are one.
We are all Sahaja Yogis, but not separately together.
If one understands this fact,
you have celebrated today's great day of Adi Shakti.
Why did Adi Shakti create this world?
Why did all this happen?
Why don't we think:
Why has so much of love, so much of prosperity been given to us?
We never realise, where are we and how much we have got.
It's not the money but the love.
And when you will understand, we really love each other
and there is no hatred, there is no revenge, nothing,
but just love and love and love.
This is what is the message of today.
We all have to be loving each other.
We have to have all kinds of rituals,
but it is only the expression of our love!
It's not just a ritual. It is love!
When you have love of the Mother, how do you express?
In the same way we have to know
that today we have to promise that for us love is the most important.
We should love.
People don't even love in their own families.
I am not talking to such people, I know.
They love their own families, their own village, their surroundings, everywhere.
But still the world is going on with wars, fighting and all kinds of troubles.
The whole world has to come up to love each other.
There is no other solution but to love.
And in that love there is no selfishness, but enjoyment
and that enjoyment you should feel and give it to others.
I am sure, you all Sahaja Yogis are doing that,
and you are seeing the mistakes of the others
and not to get anybody into trouble.
Love is the message of Adi Shakti.
Now, you think about it, one Adi Shakti created the whole world.
How She must have done it?
What She must have planned?
How She must have organised it? It is not an easy thing.
Only because She loved.
Her love is the expression that you are all there.
And that is why, to be one with Her, one should learn to love.
Of course, in that you have to know, that you should forgive.
If you don't know how to forgive
and find mistakes of other people, you won't help.
What is your now job is, to see that you are loving.
That there is no hatred for anyone.
You don't think of hating someone, or hitting somebody.
This has to work out.
I am sure, this will work out.
In all the European countries and the Indian continent:
Those who are developed are fighting.
Those who are not developed are fighting.
They have their own style of fighting.
That is the only difference.
But there is no love.
If you want to have love, then you feel sorry.
Supposing, I see some country, X-country.
Then it is very easy for me to criticise that this country is very bad,
that people are bad, this is bad, that is.
But I think, potentially they are all fine, very good people.
Somehow or other I should be able to make them understand that.
If they understand, what is love and enjoy love,
there will be no problems of any kind.
Only human beings know how to love,
nobody else!
Animals also love, but their love is so limited.
But human beings, their love is so beautiful.
They look beautiful only when they love.
So, I have to tell you not to make cheap love
but a love that you will enjoy
and that another person will also enjoy.
It's something to be understood,
the way people understand love is sometimes very ridiculous.
So, one has to first understand, what is love,
also to understand, whether you love or not.
You really love the world,
if you really love this creation of God,
then there should be no hatred,
there should be no fights,
but just to see the good points.
As a mother would see her child,
you should see the whole world as a beautiful piece that God has created for you.
This subject is so lengthy that I can talk to you for hours.
But I have to just say that, if you can understand,
a little bit of it, it is this:
we all should have love for each other.
And we should have understanding.
Look at the small children, they love each other.
They haven't learned yet, how to hate.
But if the children are not brought up well, they can hate each other.
They can be very ridiculously funny
So many countries today are like that.
They are just fighting because they do not love.
Now, also Sahaja Yogis have a much greater job,
much greater life.
They have to show that love is a very great thing.
It doesn't matter, whether you are Hindu, Christian, this, that nonsense.
You are all human beings
and we have a right to love.
And if you manage somehow to love people,
I tell you, Sahaja Yoga will settle down.
Sahaja Yoga is like a tree, which requires love as the water.
Try this around your life
and you will find, how love pays itself.
Not to be seen by how much you spend or what you do.
It's not that you count all those things.
It's just like an ocean floats everything around,
you become like that, a typical personality of Sahaja Yoga.
So, all the Sahaja Yogis must decide today,
that we are going to forgive all the people we hate.
And we are going to love all of them.
Let us see, if it works out.
I am sure, it will work out,
because first of all you are all realised souls,
and secondly, love is the biggest boon on human beings.
Which, if you utilise, there will be no problem of any kind.
So thank you very much.
