“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”

“The only devils in this world are those running around inside our own hearts, and that is where all our battles should be fought.”

“If all Christians acted like Christ, the whole world would be Christian.”

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

Many years ago in London, Shri Mataji spoke about star signs. She mentioned that Lord Jesus was born under the sign of Scorpio, which is the sign of death and resurrection. He was actually born at Diwali, which falls at the time of year which is Scorpio in the astrological calendar. Diwali is celebrated in India in October as the Festival of Lights.

The chakra of Lord Jesus is the Agnya, and this is the chakra associated with the light element. So it is only right that Diwali is the festival of lights. Also, for the Christians Lord Jesus came as a light to lighten the darkness; so again there is the connection to light.

The birth of Christ is celebrated on 25 December because for nearly seventeen hundred years this has been traditional in most of the churches. The ancient and politically powerful Romans adopted Christianity in the third century AD, and changed the date of Christmas to 25 December, because of various pagan Roman festivals which fell on and around that date. So now, of course, Christmas is on that date. But, as Shri Mataji explained, He was actually born at Diwali.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate;

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant?”

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking

So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,

Our presence automatically liberates others.

Nelson Mandela, 1994

When you have your self-realisation and have that connection with the All-pervading Power of Divine Love, all of the elements of nature help you to feel that love flowing through you.?

For me, sitting on the Mother Earth is very powerful. First you sit down and place both hands down on the Earth and pray to the Mother Earth to take away all of your problems. Then ask her to kindly fill your entire being with her gravity and her quality of purity and innocence. Slowly you feel yourself becoming thoughtless, and your whole body is soothed down by a beautiful flow of vibrations. This is the energy from the Mother Earth nurturing you and soothing down your whole Subtle System. After some time which feels timeless you feel that connection with the Divine Love so strongly. This is when you grow spiritually and become one with truth.?

Just as we have our own Kundalini energy which nurtures us, so too does the Mother Earth. We are all connected.
