Choosing Joy

February 20th, 2010

Shri Mataji

We try to do our level best, but still sometimes you feel that there can be some mistakes we might have committed. But it is not for you to be upset about it because once you have reached the shores of joy, then you should not give it up for anything because it is your own choice whether you want joy or you want unhappiness….

Whatever your past was, whatever mistakes you might have committed in the past in your ascent or whatever might have happened in the past because of others to you, it is all lost in the past, in the ocean of the past….

When you reach a certain state, then you should not allow anything of the past to come back. I would even suggest to give a challenge to the past….

Even if you are afraid of the past … or you get angry with yourself or you feel upset about it, then yet you have not reached the point. So now you have to see it, that you are at a distance. That’s why you are seeing it. Nothing can touch you.

So the judgement will come to you from yourself. “Am I still involved in the past that was yesterday? Is it finished now? Am I even now bothered about it?” …

Now you have become the fruit which is ripe, so why should you worry about things which you are not any more? Now if you have become a full-fledged bird, why should you worry about the egg that used to smell so badly? That is the attitude one must have tpwards oneself, the confidence within oneself.

Shri Mataji
