Dear Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
In preparation for Shri Adi Guru Puja next week, you are warmly invited to join our collective online program. The theme for the program will be:
“Introspection, Love and Purity”
The program will be longer than usual, allowing us to enjoy HH Shri Mataji’s 2001 Guru Puja talk and Puja, together with beautiful music, prayers, meditation, and videos dedicated to the Guru of all Gurus – Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
Let us come together as one family and gather at our Guru’s Lotus Feet to enjoy the vibrations of this special collective program.
“Now what helps for this introspection is your sense of love.”
“When you are climbing ahead into the new path of righteousness, of goodness, of compassion and love, you should see yourself, watch yourself: what are you doing? Where are you going? How far you are stupid? You should not cheat yourself. Let others cheat you, let others do whatever they like, let others try to kill you, but don’t you kill yourself! You don’t cheat yourself. So you have your self-respect, and you have your self-honour, which you value more than anybody else. And you don’t yield to anything that will spoil your image in the mirror. This is the first step of introspection.
Now what helps for this introspection is your sense of love. Can you love a person who is distressful? One who is aggressive? One who is hot-tempered? One who cheats you? Can you love such a person? You cannot. Then how can you love yourself when you have these qualities, when you do this to yourself? So the first thing is the pure love for yourself, pure love. It’s such a great thing to have pure love. Like, you may like to have a very nice bed to sleep, you may like to have a very beautiful house, you may like to have all the wealth of the world, but all this, will it make you love yourself? If you love your Self, you don’t want anything, because you enjoy your Self! To enjoy your Self is the greatest enjoyment.”
