------為何你會喪失力量( Power)------
一個得到自覺的人會擁有許多力量，你應該去喚醒你内在的這些力量，了解這些力量，讓這些力量發揮出來。但這些力量有時候會消失，你可以再喚醒它，但可能一段時間後又消失。為什麼這些已被喚醒的力量會消失呢？原因是什麼呢？
像有些人進入霎哈嘉之後變成很好的藝術家，他了解藝術的精髓，他對美的敏感度也增加了，他的内在對藝術發展出一種覺知，外人也説這個人是很特別。但是隨著他慢慢涉入藝術界，他建立一些聲譽，也獲得一些美名。漸漸地他和這些種種糾纏在一起，他當初的一些能力就消失了，因為他的這些能力(力量)也和這些種種糾纏在一起。你要知道你的這些能力是來自母親的力量(Shakti)，是這個力量流經你，你只是Shakti 的工具(
instrument) 而已，並不是你擁有這個能力。假如你知道你只是 Shakti 的工具，那麼你就永遠不會喪失這些能力。
就像有些學生本來在課堂上十分平庸，當他們學習霎哈嘉後一下子跳到最優秀的班级，各方面都非常突出。然後他們就開始想：我變成非常偉大了！一旦他們開始這樣想，他們的表現就立刻下掉。同樣的，假如你的工作業績增加了、你賺更多的錢，或不可思議的事發生在你身上，此時你應該如何做呢？你應該完全認知到：是母親做所有的這些事，並不是你成就了這些事。是這些力量經由你來成就這些事，而不是你自己完成了這些事！
你隨時要保持警惕，否則你的能力(力量)就會消失！

But you have so
many Shaktis in You, so many, that you should awaken them, know them, let them
bloom, be happy and respect yourself.
Now these powers, even in Sahaja Yogis, get destroyed, then get awakened again, again they get destroyed then get awakened. What is the cause of this? The power that is awakened why does it get destroyed.
Like now a person becomes a great artist. After entering Sahaja Yoga many people become good artist, they understand and know the art, their sensitivity is increased, they have awareness in them and everyone says, this person is extraordinary but then he gets involved in that art. He gets prestige, earns name and gets entangled in them. When he gets entangled in them his powers get destroyed because his powers also get entangled in them.
As I told you earlier, what happens in a tree, its living force (nutrient) flows through every branch, every leaf, flows and return back. Likewise these powers that you have today – which are working for you – are the products of this shakti. You have nothing to do with it but are only instrumental for these powers and once you know that you are only instrumental, these powers will never weaken or they will never get destroyed.

Many a times I
have seen that the Attention of the Sahaja Yogis goes into this things very
fast. If they get into prominence with something, if they have progressed fast
with something, many students who where not grown in the class, come out first
class, everything is getting better then they think, now I have become great.
As soon as they start thinking that, the powers go off.
Now we should think that what we should do. If your business has increased, you have started getting a lot of money, something extraordinary has happened to you, then what you should do? We should know fully that “Mother you are doing everything, I am not doing it. It is your power that is working. I am not doing anything”. It is very important that you remain alert, because after this when you powers get destroyed, you only will say that Mother the power has gone and everything has gone.
