----母親，請在我們的腦袋裏----
Shri Mataji 提到一個故事：有一位年輕的親戚來她家住，家中並無僕人，都是Shri Mataji在煮飯。有一天Shri Mataji必須出門，她吩咐這女孩："妳煮一些雞蛋魚片飯，我回來後，我們就有東西吃"。當Shri Mataji回家時，發現什麼也没煮。Shri Mataji就問："爲什麼沒煮？"，那女孩回答道："我想妳說不定不會回來，或許妳不會餓，或許妳不想吃.......。"
人的腦袋即是如此！我的吩咐很簡單，但是人的腦袋開始想東想西，這些想出來的理由皆來自人的自我或非我。
但是火、水、土等這些基本元素就不是如此，它們是完全在神聖的力量(Divine)的控制之下。例如我只要接觸這大地，我說："請吸走他們的負面能量"。大地就會將這些負面吸走，它没有任何的自我，它不會去想任何的藉口，而是直接去做。它們是有百分之百的神聖意識(Divine awareness)，上帝要它們做什麼，它們就照辦，它們是完全與上帝合一(oneness with God)。人類因為可以思考、可以自己決定，所以人類往往在人類意識(human awareness)及神聖意識之間徘徊。
人其實是宇宙萬物中最高的創造，是上帝最先進、最精微、非常有效的創作品，是上帝最好的工具。假如你以智慧、順服、謙虚來使用你這個工具，這個工具會逐漸地更進一步演化，你就會開始發展出更敏鋭的面向，或我們可以說，你會演化出一個更好的方法來使用這個工具，你也會更進一步了解霎哈嘉瑜伽的運作方式。
但是首先你們必須先決定停止使用你們的腦袋(譯者：指自我及非我)太多，你們可以說："母親，請在我們的腦袋裏" (Mother You be in our brain)。這對你們而言應不難，因為這一世我親自出現在你們面前。這頭腦是由五個元素所支持，它們都在頭腦裏。假如你可以把我放在頭腦内，或告訴你自己的頭腦不要再打攪你，你會驚訝到這整個系統立即如發電機開始運作。它將變成一部敏鋭的工具，你不用再去擔心什麼、去想什麼，事情就會順利地進行，好像你有神奇的本事，一觸摸就能點石成金。但是要達到這種境地，對人類而言是有些困難，因為要變成完全的没有自我(egoless)是有點難。
火、土等這些基本元素是沒有自我，只有人類自行建造了自我。自我本身是一個虚構的東西(myth)，因為你根本沒有做任何事，但是你却認為你正在做這重要的事，認為你在負責此事。其實人類從早到晚都在縱容自己的腦袋，和自己玩遊戲，而且玩到變得有些瘋狂。最好的策略應該是順服，但就看事情如何開展、如何成就。
有一次我告訴Kerry："妳最好去大學註册"。她說："母親，註册已截止了，我無法再去辦註冊入學了"。我說："我已告訴妳了，妳就去試試"。她打電話去詢問，對方回答："這不可能，不過妳可以來一趟看看"。當她去辦公室，承辦人員說："好吧！妳可以註册"。我足足花了十分鐘勸她去試試！假如她一開始就如此想："既然母親如此說，我就去試試"。縱使結果她並未能成功註册，至少她的腦袋有所進步！註册成功與否並不重要，重要的是頭腦要有改善昇進！它必須變得更敏鋭，它必須被喚醒照亮(enlightened)，這才是重點。
我們必須了解，在精微的層面上，我們都是上帝所造的很敏鋭的工具，但是我們所有的能量並未開始運作，只有當我們除去因自我及非我制約所造成的阻塞，我們才可以供給能量到所有的神經。假如你可以去除這些阻塞，所有的神經會變得十分敏鋭。這就爲什麼你最好說：母親請來到我的腦袋裏，妳是我腦袋的主宰，請讓這個腦袋接受妳神聖智慧的指導。"，然後你不要再講：我想....。

The reason is
they are completely under the control of the Divine. They are under the control
of the powers of God, absolutely, hundred percent. Whatever God wants, they do
it, once they are enlightened. But human beings are still, you see, dwindling
between his own human awareness and the Divine awareness and the oneness with
God. So it is the sensitivity in a person grows very, very, slowly – doesn’t
matter makes no difference – and when it grows, it comes you see it moves
sometimes, two steps forwards and five steps backwards, you see again like
that. When the time is about two years, you’ll find a gentleman at the same
spot where he started. You get quite upset at how it has happened, despite
Sahaja Yoga. But this is the thing is, that human beings can think, and they
can decide, and they have ultimate freedom to give up this sensitivity at any
time. So you have to be under complete obedience of the Divine, which is, one
cannot understand sometimes how to be like that because we have not been
brought up that way. We don’t know how to do it and it’s very difficult.
................................
So the best
thing is to say that, “Mother come in my brain. Please reside in my brain.
Please make Your room in this brain. You be the controller of this brain. Let
this brain be guided by Your divine wisdom.” And you don’t think for yourself,
and this word ‘I think’ should be dropped completely from Sahaja Yogis. ‘I
think’ means, goes on you see, in funny ways; it can be anything, you see. Like
once we went out and we had one of my very stupid relations staying with us, a
girl. And as I was going out – we had no servants that day, so I was cooking –
but that day when we were going out I said to her, “I’m going in the morning,
so can you make a little bit of kedgeree for us and when we come back we’ll
have it.” That’s the only cooking she did in her lifetime, maybe she did not do
also. So when we came back she told Me that she has not cooked. So I said,
“Why? Why didn’t you cook, because we were supposed to take our food here.” She
said, “I thought that maybe you may not come. Maybe you’re not hungry, maybe
you may not like to eat. Maybe I may not cook well,” you see, all these four
alternatives not to do the cooking. But I said, “Why didn’t you think that we
may be hungry, that we will eat. Why didn’t you think this way?”
..............................
But for fire,
or for water, or for Mother Earth there is no alternative, no more alternative.
If I just touch the Mother Earth and I say, “Suck in their problems please,”
She just sucks them in. If I tell the fire, “Now come along you have been
ignited.” I don’t even tell, I don’t even tell, they immediately suck in. Their
Kundalini rises you can say. You put a fire in front of My photograph it’s
vibrated, you put a light it’s vibrated, it has no alternatives. It doesn’t
think it has no alternatives, it’s just enlightened, it has its own quality of
enlightenment in the purest sense, because thinking makes it impure. Your
enlightenment becomes impure by your thinking, by giving explanations, by
giving all these nonsensical alternatives. So one should know with the Divine
there is no alternative. In Sanskrit the word is pariyai (Spelling?), there is
no pariyai for Divine instrument. There’s nothing like that. Supposing you don’t
want to accept it, you’ll have problems and then you’ll say that, “Mother how
did we have problems?”
You are the
highest epitome of all the creatures. Even the thing that comes out of the
Mother Earth cannot do the work that you can. It cannot raise the Kundalini, it
cannot, no maybe a little bit, effects might be, but it won’t work out with
that force with that maneuvering I mean you are like a very advanced machinery
of God’s work, very advanced, extremely sharp, and extremely effective. And the
problem is this brain of yours, you see, when it comes in between, which is
nothing compared to that big brain, you see. Your brain is nothing but like a
little mosquito, it comes up, comes here and there, says, “Oh, this, this,
this, this, this” and then the problem starts. But if you really start using
this power with in you, God has made you as the best instrument that you could
think. And as you start using your instrument with that wisdom and surrender or
humility, gradually it evolves more and more and more, and you start developing
more sensitive sides, or we can say evolving a new method in this and getting a
better and better understanding of the working of Sahaja Yoga.
So it is
important that first of all you must decide to stop the brain working too much
and say that “Mother You be in our brain.” Thank God I’m before you in person,
it’s not difficult. Just say that “Mother, You have to be in our brain.” Now
this brain is as you know, is supported by the five elements, they all are in
this brain and if you can somehow or other bring Me in that brain, somehow or
other, by telling your brain, now, not to disturb you any more, you’ll be
amazed that immediately the whole system will start working like a dynamo. It
will be such a sensitive thing, you don’t have worry about anything, don’t have
to think about anything. You touch anything it becomes gold sort of thing, you
see becomes Midas’ touch, becomes such a great thing. But that, to achieve, is
difficult for human beings. They find it difficult to achieve that kind of a
perfection where you lose completely your ego and you become egoless.
Like the fire,
the Mother Earth, like all other elements – they have no ego. It’s only human
beings who have built the ego. And the ego is such a big myth. Because when you
don’t do anything, why should you think you are doing something, and why should
you be responsible for doing anything? But the thing is, we think that, “No
it’s not God, we have to do this thing,” and “I have to decide.” You see it’s
just we play tricks with ourselves morning till evening spoiling our brain,
absolutely becoming mad. Best thing is to surrender and see the things will
come before you, you’ll be amazed, oh, how it has happened, how it has worked
out.
The other day I
told just Kerry, “You better go and register yourself.” She said, “Mother the
university has closed down these days, I can’t get into it, it’s very
difficult.” I said, “All right I’ve said it, you go.” Then she telephoned, they
said, “It’s impossible, you just can’t do it but if you want you can come and
see.” And as she walked into the university in the office they said, “All
right, come along you are registered.” It is, so many times it will happen to
you people. But it took about ten minutes for Me to convince her that you just
try it. But I must say still she was not so adamant she was thinking, ” If
Mother is saying, I may get it this thing, it will work out.”
But if you
suppose, “It’s all right, Mother You are saying, I’m just going to register,
finished.” Then what happens even if you do not get registered doesn’t matter.
That’s not important. Your brain improves. That’s important, that your brain
improves, it becomes more sensitive. It’s not important that the work should be
done, that’s not important. What is important that in you brain you must get
this idea that “Let me be enlightened, truly.” All right? This is what one has
to understand, in a very subtle way that we all are very sensitive instruments
made by God and all our energies are not yet working. So we have to supply
energy to all our nerves and that’s only possible if we remove our blockages
created by our ego and by our conditioning. If you can remove the blockages,
all our nerves will become very sensitive. And that’s why, tell your mind that,
“Now any further, you better put Mother down there.”
