Shri Mataji<\/p><\/div>\n

So many things are there which divert your mind to that because you have drawn certain conclusions about reality.\u00a0 You think this is the reality.\u00a0 You believe that this is the reality and you want to stick on to that.\u00a0 But that is not so.\u00a0 I tell you, you have to understand that reality is what it is.\u00a0 You should face it and enjoy it.\u00a0 Don\u2019t try to put your ideas on it.\u00a0 Don\u2019t try to organise the reality.\u00a0 It is what it is, and once you decide within yourself, \u201cSo far I have not known and I have to know,\u201d with that humility you will get it.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean that you have to surrender your money or anything, your self-respect or your freedom.\u00a0 On the contrary, you have to enter into that area where there is supreme freedom, supreme freedom.\u00a0 You are not free.\u00a0 If you think you are free you are sadly mistaken because you are still slaves of so many things.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

But once a person is free he is not bothered about anything.\u00a0 Nothing can make him habituated to anything – nothing.\u00a0 Such a person lives like a king whether he is in a hut or a street or in a palace.\u00a0 He\u2019s not bothered.\u00a0 Whatever it is he\u2019s the king. He doesn\u2019t want anything anymore.\u00a0 He gives. He gives. He\u2019s so rich that nobody can give him anything.\u00a0 He gives and gives and gives.\u00a0 And only thing that it can do is to give; it cannot take anything.\u00a0 The capacity is such that he cannot take anything from anyone.\u00a0 No more these attitudes, how to save money, how to save your labor, how to save your chairs, your powers, your positions. Nothing will enslave you because you are the master of everything.\u00a0 Nothing is more important than your own spirit, which you enjoy, which manifests.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n
