*** 第21個頂輪紀念日的宣言 ***
這些年來我一直在等待這一天，我們現在是第21個頂輪(紀念日) ，這是一個非常重要的轉折點......。截至目前為止(譯者：指1990年)，我一直告訴你們不要太公開、太大聲來宣揚霎哈嘉，但是現在這個時機到了。我們過去已等了許久，現在你們大家必須開始來談霎哈嘉，對外宣告它，對每一個人來談它。
過去我們一直將霎哈嘉保持在一個低姿態，因為我要你們首先去發展成為一個優秀的霎哈嘉練習者，希望人們從你的生活、你的生活方式、你的行為、你的理解心、你的思想等，就可以了解到這些霎哈嘉練習者是非常特別的，是一群不一樣的人。(我希望)你們目前都有達到我這個期盼。
你應該要了解到，所有的力量都在你的内裡蠢蠢欲動，你可能只是因為拘泥於形式或害羞或可能有點膽小，所以你將這些力量都隱藏起來。(我來說一個例子)，前些日子有一位練習者來到我的房子，他看到一些花朵已呈現凋零的狀態，我說："那些花並未凋零，你可以給它們生命"，他說："如何做到呢？"，我說："你將它們全部從底部剪下來，然後將你的手放在下面"，他就將他的手放在莖部的底端，然後他說："母親，它們依然垂頭喪氣、繼續凋落"，我說："好，現在將它們放到水裡面"。他的注意力就在這裡那裡，不到15分鐘(註一)，這些花朵都抬頭挺胸了，也開始繼續成長，它們都變成更大的花朵。在剪下來之後，繼續維持了5天之久。這件事情之後，那個練習者就信服了。(其實)你們可以做許多事來讓自己信服，讓自己相信你有這些力量。
我看過一些有病痛的人，如有頭痛、有這個問題、那個問題，他們來找我或寫長信告訴我："母親，我有頭痛，我無法去除這個問題"。母親必須去治療頭痛、照顧你的妻子、照顧你的小孩，這種日子已經過去了，完全結束了！現在你要負起責任，不只對你自己，也要對你的靜室、對你的城市、對你的國家及整個世界來負起責任。
現在你要領受你的力量(powers)......，承擔你的責任，每一個人都要有責任感，接受你應該扮演的角色，知道你的力量，知道你可以做什麼。坐在椅子上細數你有多少祝福，這種日子已經過去了。現在你必須來盤算你(擁有)的力量：我有多少力量、我可以使用什麼力量、我如何來使用(這些力量)？不用再計算你的奇蹟，你已經有足夠的奇蹟來證明你是一個霎哈嘉練習者，及你也受到無所不在的力量的幫助。但是現在你需要去知道：你自己將如何來使用無所不在的力量、你將如何操縱它、你將如何來成就事情。
從今天開始是一個新紀元，這也是我一直等待的一天，等待你們所有人了解到：你不是只為了你自己的目的的練習者，也不只是為了你的家庭、社群、國家，而是為了全世界。你要擴大你自己，你必須有這樣的遠景，我已經多次告訴你們這個遠景，即你必須去解救全人類的人性！
不要畏畏縮縮，首先你不應該認為："我們是非常普通的人，我們沒有什麼特別"。這個工作本來就不是由那些特殊的人來完成，因為那些(特殊的)人都有很大的自我，而是要由沒有這些自我的人來完成------認為自己很成功、很有成就或很富有的自我......。
首先不要缺乏信心，"我怎麼可能(做這些工作)呢？我並不完美，我有這些問題，我有那些問題"，有多少信是告訴我這些，我都將它們丟掉或燒掉。沒有必要再做這些告解了，只有一樣你需要宣告承認的："我是一個霎哈嘉瑜伽士，經過21個頂輪紀念日，我現在是一個大瑜伽士(Maha Yogi)"。這才是你需要做的宣告！不要再講那些過去告訴母親的家庭瑣事、俗事、毫無意義的事，你們已經是決定放下這些來霎哈嘉追求你的昇進，(現在)你已獲得自覺的成就，這目的是要做什麼？獲得你的自覺與昇進就是為了要解放人類，為了要幫助他們走出無明及黑暗的幻象。
我覺得在(對)今天(世界問題)最主要的目標應該是：不要這麼政治化、這麼基本教義化。所以我們必須公開對這些基本教義派說："你們是不明事理，你們不知道真理，你們對真理毫無所知，你們不知道你們是一個靈，你們不知道有一個(無所不在的)力量在運作"，你們必須非常清楚地告訴他們："你們是一群笨蛋，只是在追逐如海市唇樓一般的虛幻，最終你們全部都會掉入所有經典所描述的地獄"。你們必須公開來講這些，用你喜歡的任何方式，如寫書、出版或告訴人們的方式。
我們這個新的宣言也要表達："跟隨這些錯誤的知識、團體，是不會帶你到上帝(的樂園)"。這些團體只是用仇恨的力量，所以你們必須說："我們相信愛的力量，而不是你們所相信的仇恨力量''。對我們而言，每一個人都可能找尋到真理，也可以進入天堂的樂園，即上帝的王國，這是我們所被應允的。

All these years I have been waiting for this day.We have now, on
the twenty-first Sahastrara, so is a very important turning point. ......
So far I had told you not to talk about Sahaja Yoga very openly,
blatantly, but now the time has come. We waited long for these days. Now you
have to all start talking about it, announcing about it and telling about it to
everyone. ......
So far we had kept Sahaja Yoga at a low ebb because I wanted
you, first of all, to develop into really very beautiful sahaja yogis, so that
from your life, from your lifestyle, from your behaviour, from your
understanding, from your thoughts, people will realise that these people are
very unique and very different type of people. Now that assumption has to be
there.
You have to understand that all these powers are bubbling in you
and just out of formality or maybe out of shyness or maybe little cowardice,
you are hiding them.
The other day there was a sahaja yogi who came to My house and
he saw some flowers which were fading away. I said, “They are not fading. You
can give them life.” He said , “How?” I said, “You cut the bottom of all of
them and put your hand underneath.” And he just put his hands under the
base of the stem and he said, “Mother, they are still drooping.” I said, “All
right, now leave them in the water.” His attention was here and there. Within
fifteen days (minutes?) they all stood up. All right. Started growing,
they became bigger flowers and lasted for five days more after that. Then he
was convinced.
You can do so many things to convince yourself that you have
these powers. I have seen people who have certain problems. They have a
headache, they have this, that. They come to Me, write big letters, “Mother, I
get my headache. I can’t get rid of it.” Now those days are gone when Mother
has to cure a headache, look after your wife, look after your children. Is all
finished now. Now you are responsible, not only for yourself, but for your
ashrams, for your cities, for your countries and for the whole world.
Now, assume your powers.
...... Take up your responsibilities! Everybody has to feel responsible.
And assume what you are. Know your powers, what you can do. Sit down.
Now, the days are gone when you had to sit down and count your
blessings. Now you have to count your powers. “How many powers I have and what
I can use and how I can use.”
No use counting your miracles. You have had enough miracles to
prove that you are sahaja yogis and that you are helped by the Paramchaitanya.
But now know how much of that Paramchaitanya you are going to use yourself, how
you are going to manoeuvre it and how you are going to work out.
This is the new era we are starting from today. And this is the
day I was waiting for all of you to realise that you are not sahaja yogis for
only your selfish ends, nor for your families, nor for your communities, nor
for your country, but for the whole world. Expand yourself. You must have that
vision before you, that I have put many a times before you people, that – you
have to emancipate the humanity.
Now don’t have diffidence. First of all, you should not think
that “We are very ordinary people. We are very ordinary. We haven’t got
something special about it.” This work isn’t going to be done by special people
because they are suffering from ego. It is going to be done by people who don’t
have that ego of great success or of great achievements or riches or anything. ......
So, first is the diffidence. “How can I be? I am not all right.
I was like this. I was doing like this. I had done like this.” So many letters
of confessions come to Me, pages after pages, which I throw away or burn them
off.
There is no need to confess any more. There’s only one
confession, that “I am a sahaja yogi and now, after twenty-first of Sahastrara,
I am a Maha Yogi.” This is the confession you have to make. And no more of
these out of date things that people tell Me about your family’s life and all
mundane, nonsensical things. We have given them up and we have come to Sahaja
Yoga for our ascent. We have achieved our ascent and now for what? For what?
Have achieved our ascent is to emancipate human beings, to help them out of the
Maya of ignorance, of darkness.
The main target, I feel today, should not be so much political,
as fundamentalism. So we have to openly say to these fundamentalists that “You
are nonsensical. You don’t know the truth. You don’t know anything about truth.
You don’t know that you are the Spirit. You don’t know that there is a power
that is working.” You have to tell very clearly, “You are all stupid people
running after something that is a mirage and all of you will end up into hell
described by all the scriptures.” We have to openly say it, this thing.
Whichever way you like, you may write books. You may publish it. You may tell
people about it.
But now the new announcement has to come to say that running
after falsehood is not going to take you to God. And, in that, they have used
the power of hatred. So you have to say that “We believe in the power of love
and not in the power of hatred that you believe in”. For us, everybody is
capable of finding the Truth and is capable of getting to the heaven of that
paradise, which is promised to us, the Kingdom of God.
