Quotes
The-ee ... great writer who is living now in England, his name is Doctor Mascaró, you might have heard his name, he has written lots of treatises about uh-uh Gītā, and Upaniṣhada[s], also Dhammapad, and also Bible. He is a master. And he is a master of Sanskrit language.
I went to see him, and he gave Me a flower, such a beautiful couplet from Gītā, and he said that, "Mother, give us light. Give them all light so that they can see. Please give them." I said, "I'm doing that!"
I'm doing that, but, somehow, people do not know what to expect within themselves.
I'm doing that, but somehow people do not know what to expect within themselves.

Seeker: But the Lord Buddha said, "Now, birth is suffering, death is suffering."
Śhrī Mātājī: Yeah's, that's true. But not Realization. [Some laughter.]
You see, what He has said is: Buddha had it asked you to limit your desire, of ascent.
Because people talked of God, once they talked of, in India for example, they talked of the Deities. That was a problem, because it became a talk again. Then they talked to God uh-uh-uh ... God which was ab ... abstract, uh-uh-uh like you can say Jehovah, and other things, because they wanted people to uh-uh-uh get over their uh-uh-uh st... stuck up points, you see. Nothing worked, you see!
So Buddha said, "All right, let's talk only about the Self-realization, nothing else. Not even of God: let's talk of that only! Let people get to Self-realization, then we'll talk about God." So He said, "All right: only Self-realization! No God, nothing!" That was His job: to fix you up with the idea of Self-realization. He said, "Don't worship anything, don't do anything, get your Self-realization!"
They are worshiping every-thing under the sun, this Buddhist! What am I to do?
So whatever Buddha has said, is, everything is re-said in Sahaja Yoga.
"Buddham śharaṇaṁ gacchāmi." "I surrender myself to the Enlightened One." The one which is enlightened is your Spirit.
"Saṅghaṁ śharaṇaṁ gacchāmi": "I surrender myself to the collectivity."
Unless and until you are a collectively conscious person, how can you surrender?
Buddha also, whatever He said, is not understood before Realization. You cannot.
"Dharmam śharaṇaṁ gacchāmi": is the sustenance within you.
Śharaṇaṁ means you become that! Is not a mental thing, 'Oh, I surrender myself!' But you just become!
You become the Enlightened One, you become the collectively conscious, you become the dharma, the sustenance, the religion within us. You become! That's what He meant.
But for them, "śharaṇaṁ gacchāmi," means take a wheel in the hand, go on, "Buddham śharaṇaṁ gacchāmi," now [puts the right hand on Her forehead]. What this wheel is going to do I just don't understand, you know! They go on [for] hours together: they'll go mad! They will end up into lunatic asylum, believe Me!
Or like mad, you are saying something, all the time praying: is that the way you are becoming?
They don't even know where is Buddha placed within yourself!
But Sahaja Yogis know where He is placed and how to please Him.
Whatever He'd said is nothing but Sahaja Yoga, absolutely, hundred percent!
Actually Buddha was nobody else but an Incarnation, who reincarnated Himself as Ādi Śhaṅkarāchārya. You can see it clearly that it was He! And can be proved on Kuṇḍalinī again! You see, how can I prove it‽
To understand Them, first you get your Realization.
Again, I am talking like Buddha only!
He tried some things, by which He thought people would take to Realization, with human beings, as they are. He thought, 'They are very much involved in materialism, take them out. Try this, try that,' nothing works out. 'Not this!'

In any book whatsoever, take it Bible, or go to Qur'ān, or go to any book, Zen, go to Buddhist, uh-uh-uh books of a Dhammapad, or you go to any other Śhāstras, like Vedas, they have talked of Kuṇḍalinī all right.

Is not like Buddha's time when they had to give up their whole kingdom. Everything to dhamma! Every pā'ī [1/3 of paisā], everything that they had, even their hair, I think. Everything to dhamma! And just come absolutely bare! No children, no wife, no father, nothing! That was Buddhism. That was Buddha's style.
He had His disciples like this, and they used to walk miles together! [They walked] to preach from one place to another in thousands.
What an impression it must be on people, when they see all this.
1989-0520 Śhrī Buddha Pūjā, Gautama, The Lord of the Ego, Open Air near El Farell Hotel, Barcelona, Spain
The other day, I was reading about people who are now getting frustrated with Christianity and trying to go to Buddhism or want to go to Islam or anything. They are just the same! There's no difference.
Because what Bible is, or what Christ is, is very different from Christians. What Islam is, is very different from Muslims. That's what all of them admit also. What Buddhism is, is very different from the Buddhist. So what they preach, what they talk about.
The other day, I was reading a book on Islam, I was surprised: is saying the same thing!
Also if you read, say, Buddha, Dhammapad, it says the same thing. Or, these Christian Sciences people, they say the same thing.

Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā,
manasā ce paduṭṭhena bhāsati vā karoti vā,
tato naṁ dukkham-anveti cakkaṁ va vahato padaṁ.
1 Translations
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind.
If a man speaks or acts with an impure mind, suffering follows him as the wheel of the cart follows the beast that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
Mind precedes thoughts, mind is their chief,
their quality is made by mind,
if with base mind one speaks or acts
through that suffering follows one
like a wheel follows ox’s foot.

like shadow which does not depart.

"Akkocchi maṁ, avadhi maṁ, ajini maṁ, ahāsi me",
ye taṁ na upanayhanti veraṁ tesūpasammati.
4 Translations
'He insulted me, he hurt me, he defeated me, he robbed me.' Those who think not such thoughts will be free from hate.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.
"He abused me, he struck at me,
he overcame me, he robbed me,"
those who bear not ill-will to others
their hatred is surely appeased.
5 Transliteration
Na hi verena verāni sammantīdha kudācanaṁ,
averena ca sammanti, esa dhammo sanantano.
5 Translations
For hate is not conquered by hate; hate is conquered by love. This is a law eternal.
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.
For not by hatred do hatreds
cease at any time in this place,
they only cease with non-hatred,
this truth is surely eternal.

Pare ca na vijānanti mayam-ettha yamāmase,

6 Translations
Many do not know that we are here in this world to live in harmony. Those who know this do not fight against each other.
You too shall pass away.
Knowing this, how can you quarrel?
The others do not understand
that we should restrain ourselves here,
but for those who do understand,
through that, their dissensions do cease.

Asubhānupassiṁ viharantaṁ, indriyesu susaṁvutaṁ,
bhojanamhi ca mattaññuṁ, saddhaṁ āraddhavīriyaṁ –

8 Translations
But he who lives not for pleasures, and whose soul is in self-harmony, who eats or fasts with moderation, and has faith and the power of virtue -- this man is not moved by temptations, as a great rock is not shaken by the wind.
The wind cannot overturn a mountain.
Temptation cannot touch the man
Who is awake, strong and humble,
Who masters himself and minds the dharma.
Contemplating the unpleasant,
with their sense faculties controlled,
and knowing the limit in food,
faithful, with energy aroused – Māra does not o’erthrow that one,
just as wind does not overthrow
a mountain made of solid rock.

But those who know the Real is, and know that the unreal is not, they shall reach the Truth, safe on the path of right thought.
See the false as false,
The true as true.
Look into your heart.
Follow your nature.
Knowing the truth in what is true,
and knowing falsehood in the false,
they understand what is the truth,
and resort to right intention.

Yathā agāraṁ succhannaṁ vuṭṭhī na samativijjhati,

But even as rain breaks not through a well-thatched house, passions break not through a well-guarded mind.
Just as rain does not penetrate
a house with thatching that is good,
so passion cannot penetrate
a mind that is well-developed.

18 Translations
He rejoices in this world, and he rejoices in the next world: the man who does good rejoices in both worlds. 'I have done good', thus he rejoices, and more he rejoices on the path of joy.
Is joyful here and joyful there.
In both worlds he rejoices
And how greatly
When he sees the good he has done.
Here she delights,
after death she delights, the righteous one delights in both places,
she delights, thinking: "I have done merit,"
gone to a good fate, she delights much more.

Appam-pi ce sahitaṁ bhāsamāno,

20 Translations
Whereas if a man speaks but a few holy words and yet he lives the life of those words, free from passion and hate and illusion -- with right vision and a mind free, craving for nothing both now and hereafter -- the life of this man is life of a holiness.
Read as few words as you like,
And speak fewer.
But act upon the dharma.
Give up the old ways -
Passion, enmity, folly.
Know the truth and find peace. Share the way.
Even though reciting only few scriptures,
but living in accordance with Dhamma,
abandoning greed, hate and delusion,
understanding aright, with mind released,
that one, unattached here and hereafter,
surely partakes of the ascetic life.
