"Today is a day people's ... this is created by human beings and not by God, as Guru Pūrṇimā. Because, as God has created days of Their advent, human beings have created days of their surrendering. So this is the day when you have to give something to the Guru, and Guru does not have to give anything to you. This is the [laughing:] time you have to say: 'What you are going to give? What you are going to do for your Guru?' Because so far the Guru has been giving.
If you are in meditation, supposing you say, 'We'll meditate because Guru Pūrṇimā is there,' that's not the way the Guru Pūrṇimā is to be celebrated. Because if you meditate, you are taking from Me. If you try to correct yourself, you are taking from Me. If you are going to get cured, you are taking from Me.
So now what can you do for Me? Is the point, you have to think about it. 'What can you do?'
Now I have sent the same question to India, to find ... I asked them to find out: 'What can you do for Me?'
You will say: 'Mother, what can we do? After all, what are we?' That's a way of evading the issue.
But if you really want to see, you can do a lot! And that is what it is that: you are My witness. You are My publicity!"

Guru Tutz. Vitthala Hari Tu Mahadev
O Guru You are all Prevading, You are my Vittal
Your are my Hari and also my Mahadev,
Guru Charani Payi Vidya Satya Mev.
At Your Lotus Feet O guru, I have attained the true knowledge
Guru Totz. Manavi Khara Mazha
He only will be my true guru
Guru Zhotz. Banavil. Mam. Mazha
The One who makes me my own Guru

"So, today you have to take some vows. And you have to say: that, 'We are going to do these things. We are going to talk about Sahaj Yog, we are going to propagate it, we are going to spread it. And what may come, we are going to surrender ourselves to Mother. Even, if She's supposing, scolds us, or says anything it is for our good. And we are not going to get confused.' And that's how you have to absolutely vow that you are going to dedicate yourself to Sahaj Yog to help others, to e... emancipate, and to create atmosphere for the completion of this universe, of this creation, for that fruitful day when we will say: that, 'The Kingdom of God has been brought on this Earth.' So today is not the day for Me to give, but for you. You have to announce."

"This is the only thing that you can give to God: is to become the instruments of God, complete surrendering yourself [yourselves] to Him, so that this world of yours, this universe of yours, because I do not belong to any universe or any creation whatsoever.
It doesn't matter with Me if this creation is gone or lives. It is for you people. It is only for you that you have to have this creation.
And so, only thing that you can do: is to give Me the assurance that, 'I should feel that by creating this universe and by this world, God has not gone wrong. And by giving you Realization, I have not gone wrong, because you are going to help in the complete emancipation of humanity.'
This is what Guru Pūrṇimā is.

Gurorrashtakam Yah pathet punya dehi
That noble soul who ponders these verses in the Guru's praise
Yatir Bhoopatir Brahmachari Cha Gehi
Of all ascetics and students, of all rulers and wordly men
Labhhed Vanchhitartham padam Brahma Sangyam
will attain the Brahman, the treasure coveted by all
Gururukta Vakye Mano Yasya Lagnam
By applying his mind with constant zeal to the Guru's teaching

"Have you understood the meaning of Guru Pada?
When you become absolutely one with the desires of your Guru, you achieve the position of a guru.
......
But only, you must know that when I tell you something, please do it; please do it. See because I know quite a lot. [Laughter.] Because I am Guru, your Guru; because I am the Guru of all the Gurus. And those who is a real guru, knows that `my Mother knows everything. She is knowledge Herself. If She says something, it means something.' And even I may test you sometime, doesn't matter. That's how you become the guru."

"Guru is the giver of the Law of the Divine, not the worldly laws. The Law of the Divine He gives you. The Law of the Divine you understand, then you have to surrender to that Law of the Divine, and that's how you will become masters of that Law."

"Gurūr Brahmā Gurūr Viṣhṇu Gurūr devo Maheśhwara, Gurūr sākṣhāt Parabrahma tasmai Śhrī Guru dev namaḥ." The Guru is Brahmā [creator], Viṣhṇu [sustainer] and Maheśh [destroyer] and the Guru who is Himself God, I offer My obeisance to Him."

"So when this faith in God is absolutely established in you that, ``There is God Almighty. He's Almighty, and that I am the messenger of that God." Just this understanding, when it becomes absolutely firm in you, then you are in the Guru Pada."

"For all this, whatever I have said, there's one Guru mantra: to remember that we are Sahaja Yogis. Just remember this: `We are Sahaja Yogis!' And once you know you are Sahaja Yogis, this projection will start.
What happened to William Blake? If you see, He started projecting His imagination and He reached the point of knowledge.
So, anything that you see, anything you do or others are doing, try to relate it with Sahaja Yoga and project. Then you will also reach the Ocean of Love. Once you have that, then what? Who can disturb you? Who can trouble you? Who can make anything that is difficult for you? Because you are sitting in the Ocean, the fellow is sitting outside somewhere, how can it come into the Ocean to trouble you?"

"I am happy today is another day of Guru Pūrṇimā which is a very auspicious day and to be regarded as a very big blessing for you because this gives you, I mean this is a certificate, that you all are capable of being gurus.
You have to become that, becoming is important, in Sahaja Yoga becoming is important, all other things are really of no use. You have to become.
Specially ladies are very shy I think. They can do a lot and they should work it out. They are shy for nothing at all, what is the need to be shy? They are very shy ladies and they just don't get into the whole working of Sahaja Yoga -- you should. If the ladies start talking about it, I think it will work much faster.
And I bless you all to do this work, which was left half done by the Saints, it's your duty to complete it.
May God bless you.
