I am so happy and joyous
to be here with so many Sahaja Yogis,
and so many of them are very new...
not very new to Me,
perhaps I have known all of you,
thousands of years back.
You are sitting in the sun.
In Sahaja Yoga you all have to understand one simple thing —
that you are the spirit.
And whatever is not the spirit
is not yourself.
We can compare spirit with the sun.
The sun can be covered with the clouds,
there could be superimpositions on the sun,
but sun remains as it is, at this point.
You cannot enlighten the sun.
It is illumined by itself.
Now, when the clouds are removed,
the superimpositions are removed,
the sun shines through the atmosphere.
So, our spirit is also
is superimposed by ignorance.
As long as there is superimposition,
you can't see the spirit.
And even when few clouds disappear
the superimposition exists.
One has to have a clear sky
to see the light of the spirit shining through.
There are many ways by which we can try to remove the clouds.
The first and the foremost thing is the assumption, the faith
that you are the spirit
and that the rest is superimposition.
You have to assume that within yourself —
after Realization it should become very easy —
that you are something much more,
something very different
from what you have known so far.
So, now the new situation arises —
that you do not have a blind faith,
but you have a faith that has come out of an experience.
So your intellect should not fight it.
It should not try to challenge you.
If it challenges and if you hear to your intellect,
you'll again go down.
Even if you get the glimpse of a star in the sky,
then the scientist believe that there is a star.
So, in the same manner,
even if you get the glimpse of your Realization,
you have to at least believe that you are also a spirit.
You go on sticking on to that experience
and keeping your attention on the fact
that you are the spirit.
Tell your intellect not to cheat you anymore.
You can turn the face of your intellect by this.
Now your intellect will start working
for the pursuit of the spirit.
This is what faith means.
Faith means rise to pure intelligence.
Now, when you are seeing clouds removed to a great extent,
still there are clouds.
So you have to use the wind
to remove the clouds.
Wind of the Holy Ghost.
And that... you know,
there are many ways of taking advantage of the wind.
I hope the Italians understand.
So the wind comes from some other source,
that is the source of the Holy Ghost, your own Kundalini.
And also you have in person the Primordial Kundalini before you.
Compared to many other seekers who came before you,
I must say, you are very fortunate.
Because worshipping any vigraha,
any... even a statue of
self-created vibrations from the Mother Earth,
people had big problems.
They had to, first of all, do a meditation
which was called as Savikalpa Samadhi.
That means, in that state
you had to concentrate on such a statue, vigraha.
Vigraha means the one which is a vibrating statue.
And then, go on looking at that statue
and trying to raise your Kundalini.
And Kundalini used to come up to Agnya.
But the jumping beyond the Sahasrara was an impossible task,
because one had to go from form to formless,
and it was so difficult, to get out of form to formless.
And even to concentrate on abstract or formless
was another impossible task
as the muslim did, or many other people tried to do.
Under these circumstances
it was necessary that the formless had to take a form,
so there was no more complication to you.
As soon as you concentrated on the form,
you became formless.
Like if you have ice before you,
and as soon as you start touching the ice, it melts away,
and you start feeling the cool.
So the problem is very easily solved now.
Puja is one of the things
by which you can excite the forms into formless.
Now, your centers are the centers of energy.
But they, too, have a guiding deity sitting on all these chakras.
They are also the formless made into forms.
And when you do the puja,
the forms melt into formless energy,
and this formless energy then starts flowing,
and that, then blows the wind.
And that's how this misidentification,
superimpositions on the spirit are removed.
Now, you cannot think about the puja.
The whole thing happens in a realm which is beyond thinking.
So, you have to understand
that you cannot rationalize the puja.
You should have the maximum advantage
on your chakras.
For that you must fully just concentrate on the puja
and how the wind is blowing.
And the wind will see to it,
that they drive out all the clouds.
So your only work is,
or your only method is —
just to concentrate on the puja, and witness.
You are a seer.
Seer has double meaning.
The one who sees only,
just sees,
and is only knowledge —
is a seer.
Without any thought, without any reaction,
just sees and absorb,
automatically, spontaneously —
is the seer.
And so, that is the best way to perform a puja.
For Me sometimes it's burdensome,
because there should be some parity between you and the deities.
Some balance must be there.
Here you are saying all the mantras and the deities are awakened,
and there you are,
who do not want to receive anything within your heart.
So I am the one who has to store up
all the extra energy that is produced in the body.
So it would be better if you all keep your hearts open
and watch the puja without thinking about it.
Today we'll reverse the method of puja.
First we'll do the havana and then the puja, will be better.
Because by that we'll evoke the fire element,
which burns away all the evils.
When you wash My feet, you do the same thing.
And even when you evoke the fire, you do the same thing.
So today first we'll have the havana
and then we'll have the puja.
Both are just the same.
You can worship Me with water or with fire.
The essence of fire is the glow, tejas.
All that is wrong, all that is evil is burned out,
and then the glow shows on the faces and the body of the seekers.
And also atmosphere is charged
with the beautiful vibrations
when you have the havana.
So I think best thing will be to do the havan first
and then the puja.
May God bless you!
First always we have to praise Ganesha before starting the puja,
so you start praising Shri Ganesha.
Atharva... Atharvashirsha. Ganesha Atharvashirsha.
YOGI: Then we'll say [UNCLEAR] in French, so in English [UNCLEAR].
All right, say it in French.
I'll better to translate it because there are other people.
First English and then French.
It's all right, I can understand English all right.
Is all mantras for Me to understand.
Beautiful. [UNCLEAR] beautiful.
All right. And now we'll be having the fire. It's all right.
Now you put some water in it and [PUT?] it to all the people, now.
Today I would say that from France those who came to see Me,
from all these places,
one from each center should come forward.
These are too big, I think.
You can put the bigger ones to make a triangle first, [UNCLEAR].
The bigger ones. Maria?
The triangle on the three sides.
One on top of another, this be better.
[UNCLEAR]. Something like a...
[UNCLEAR] paper like a... lighter...
Is that the light thing?
And have you got camphor with you?
Something lighter, underneath.
Do you have anything [UNCLEAR]?
Make it smaller [UNCLEAR]. Yes.
Put it on top of this thing, not underneath.
Not underneath, put it on top. Covering this.
Yes, put the... on top.
Yes, like that, yes, that's right.
You have to keep a hole in between.
Arrange it in such a way there is a hole in between, in the center.
Now arrange on top of this.
No, this is all right. Please cover with this [UNCLEAR].
I think there should be a platform first.
There should be a platform first — and then.
In the center there should be a platform.
Just make a platform there, yes, [UNCLEAR].
And also platform... just wait...
Markus, on the platform you put another thing.
That's better, yeah.
Do you have some more with you?
[UNCLEAR]
To begin with that's sufficient.
You'd like to do 108, [DO YOU?]?
[UNCLEAR] we just can do 108 of the Goddess
and 108 of Shri Visnu, [UNCLEAR] better.
Swa-ha. Swaha is the quality of the... of the fire
which consumes everything. Swa-ha.
Now, after every name that he takes
you have to take the thing from your hand like this,
and take it round to the right side and put it in the fire.
But those who haven't got these things in the hand
should take up just their hand like that,
thinking that they have it in their hand,
and moving it upward like that and put it in the fire.
And you all should say "Swaha".
Now, just a minute. After every name, after every name.
First the Devi.
Now we'll do the Vishnu Sahasranama, hundred and eight.
As I said, 21 names of Vishnu are sufficient.
Now the... first you [UNCLEAR] this, finish it [INAUDIBLE].
For that you have to use some sort of a fruit.
Raspberry. Do you have something?
What is the special fruit of France?
YOGI: A special fruit of France? Apples!
SHRI MATAJI: Apples, or you should have...
YOGI: Stem berries... cherries, cherries and grape, grape, Mother!
SHRI MATAJI: Grape is the best.
YOGI: [UNCLEAR] just to bless it, Mother.
SHRI MATAJI: So now, this is the ultimate puja we have done now.
This is the end of the puja, is finished, throw all that in that.
All the... all the remaining things are to be thrown.
Yes, put it.
Now, we have put today the grapes in it.
That means the grapes will loose their capacity to ferment.
That's the best.
The wind is blowing!
So [THAT'S HOW?] [UNCLEAR] outside [UNCLEAR].
The main thing was the havan today.
[UNCLEAR] [AND DRESS UP?].
YOGI: Mother, the dinner is not ready... the lunch is not ready.
SHRI MATAJI: Not ready, is it?
YOGI: Not, yes. In one hour, in one hour.
SHRI MATAJI: So, we'll finish the puja?
