Live A Life OF TRUTH

Sahastrara Puja (Live a Life of Truth), Cabella, Italy, 9 May 2004  

Today is a very important day in our lives as Sahaja Yogis. Today is the day when the Sahastrara was opened, which was a very miraculous event. I never expected that in my lifetime I would be able to do this. But it happened. And many of you had your Sahastrara opened. Without that, you could never have known what the truth is. And you are enjoying it—the state where you know what the truth is.  

It is a great blessing that the Sahastrara was opened and that you all received your Self-realization. Otherwise, everything is just talk—without meaning, without understanding. So my first concern was to open the Sahastrara. That happened, and it happened well. And all of you had your Sahastrara opened. This is a remarkable thing. No one can believe that so many of you have your Sahastrara opened. But now I can clearly see the light above your heads.  

Whatever you have attained is remarkable—there is no doubt about it. The reason is your sincere seeking. You sought sincerely, and that is why you received it. I did nothing. Because you were like lamps, I only lit them, that’s all. This is not such a great thing to do. The way you have achieved this state—the state of awakening—you received it because you were eager for it, you wanted to actualize it, and you did. This is highly commendable. The credit does not go to me; I feel it is because my Sahastrara was open. But that you have attained it gives me great joy.  

Now you will understand that if the Sahastrara is not open, you cannot communicate with people. You cannot tell them anything—they will not understand. When the Sahastrara opens, your understanding increases tremendously. This is what has happened to all of you. And I am very happy that so many people are sitting here whose Sahastrara is open, and there are many more who are not here. So it is a great achievement for humanity that so many people have had their Sahastrara opened together, through which you can know the Truth—the complete or ultimate Truth. Whatever you know after your Self-realization is the ultimate Truth. After that, you do not argue, you do not question. You simply know it and accept it as knowledge. It is such a wonderful thing that all this already existed, but it was not open. And when it opened, people understood me and also understood the laws of the Divine.  

It is such a blessing of the Divine that your Sahastrara has been opened. For this, you may say, “We have taken nothing, Mother.” But that is not so. Your search for truth was deep and firm. You wanted to know the truth, and that is why it happened. Otherwise, no amount of money or effort would have worked. The Sahastrara had to open on its own. All this is your own creation, I should say. It is your own karma that such a beautiful event has taken place.  

I do not take any credit for it. Certainly, I must say that I explained to you how important it is that your Sahastrara should open. No arguments, no suggestions, nothing—but has your Sahastrara opened? That is what tells you what the truth is. In such a beautiful state, what can your Mother say? I can only say: live a life of truth and wisdom. Truth resides within everyone, and how we use that truth is our achievement. People are lost because they do not have knowledge. Book knowledge is not real knowledge. Knowledge must come from within—from your own being. And this has happened because of the opening of the Sahastrara. It has happened in all countries, and it will happen all over the world. Many people will receive Self-realization. But one thing, I feel, is that you should not have an emotional attachment to it, but a real connection—knowing that this is so, this has happened, this is working. Then you will be able to give Self-realization to others. You will understand the importance of Self-realization.  

Until you use it, you will not know what the power of Self-realization is. So you must learn how to use this power within you—this power that is working within you and will give you immense capabilities. My health has now become a little weak. After all, I am very old. But still, I do not feel any kind of tiredness while addressing you. I feel so good that there are so many Sahaja Yogis, so many whose Sahastrara is open and who are enjoying it.  

Actually, I like it when you ask me questions. But you can send me your questions in writing, and then I will try to answer them sometime. That will be a good way.  

Thank you very much! May God bless you. Progress in Sahaj, grow within yourselves. May God bless you. All my blessings.
