Respect yourself

So rise now; you must rise above your petty, small mind. Rise up to the point where you should know you are going to save the whole humanity. If you cannot feel that, it’s better to leave Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga is not meant for people who are lousy. In Marathi the word is gabare. Tukaram has said, yerya gabalyache kam nahi – “It is not the work of the lousy.” ...


When you rise above all these petty things you will develop that divine discretion. That divine discretion is the real blessing of God. All other blessings that you think is a blessing is no blessing at all. Unless and until you can grow, what is the blessing? Like a tree which says, “Oh, it's such a blessing that I have got rain.” But out of that rain if you cannot grow, what is the use of having that rain on you? You have to be compassionate, beautiful, sensible people who are highest beings on this earth. Take out your attention from all nonsense that you have been busy with. That’s how you get possessed, that’s how you get conditioned; small, small things, you see. ...



Today is the beginning of a new era; of a new era of people of very high qualities, whose spirit has been enlightened. Let’s all think about it. Now you have to rule yourself, and you have to rule others through compassion, love and discretion. Today that’s the big time that I have declared that it is the universal religion, the Nirmala religion which is formed out of my teachings of love. ...


So now have respect for yourself. Raise your heads. You are the ones who are going to fight. You are the ones who are responsible. Prepare yourself, prepare your body, prepare your mind, be discreet. This is my, I would not say "request" again, this is my order. May God bless you. ...


Respect yourself, respect. May God bless you all. There’s nothing, nothing more important to Me than to see you rise to that level of understanding of your own values and worth, and discretion. You have to become sweet, nice people but very, very powerful, that you can control yourself, your tongues and your things; your control, complete control of yourself.
May God bless you again.
