Speech of the Week: Adi Guru Puja 1990 – How are you like your Guru?

Speech of the Week

“And as today is the Guru Puja, I have to tell you things, not as a Mother but as your Guru.” – HH Shri Mataji

Dear Family,

Jai Shri Mataji!

This week’s theme is: “Detachment, Silence, Faith”

This week’s Speech of the Week is one of those speeches from our holy Mother, that deeply touches the spirit and teaches us on so many levels. Listen to it intently, absorb it and introspect as She has made this speech for you, for this time, right now!

We are blessed to have HH Shri Mataji as our Guru. She teaches us, She guides us, She gives us lessons in life, She gives us advice and direction. To truly be our own Guru, how much are we like Her? How much are we in Her image? What things about us can we change to be more like Her, more like the Guru She wishes us to be?

The best thing for us to do is compare ourselves with our Guru, all the time, now!

Enjoy!

“…but you must see the vibrations of that person!”

“So the first part is that to see how much we are sensitive to spirituality. I have seen Sahaja Yogis supporting somebody who is so negative, you can’t even bear that person and, [to them], such a person is something great, while somebody who is so good they cannot make it out. So what’s the use? Your computer is so faulty, you’ll do…I mean, the planes will have to run up and down if you have such a computer as Sahaja Yogis are!

Because they just judge the other way round. A person who is good in Sahaja Yoga, who has got vibrations, he may be simple, he may be unassuming, he may not be so rich, he may not be so educated, may not be from some good universities or anything, but you must see the vibrations of that person! What sort of vibrations that person has, and then you should judge. Instead of that if you judge that person only because he’s very good to talk and he talks well and very scholarly or something like that, that’s not the point. The point is what are his vibrations! And once you see those vibrations and judge them on vibrations, then you are a Sahaja Yogi, otherwise I would not call you at all a Sahaja Yogi. But for a Guru it is very important. I have seen sometimes even the leaders supporting somebody who is absolutely horrid! I can’t bear that person even for five minutes! But here the Guru sends him over to Me, “Oh, Mother, he’s so good, you know, he donated so much money.” It doesn’t matter. You donated money, so what? Who asked him to donate money? But he should not donate his bhoots to us now anymore! We don’t want his bhoot! So that’s what it is..”
