Conquer the Enemies Within

FOLLOW US:

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

There are two enemies you have. First is, you are your own enemy and second is the ignorance. These are the two enemies, you have to conquer. If you get rid of these two enemies, then nobody can destroy you. Now supposing there is a person, who is very troublesome, say who troubles you. Let him be troublesome. He is going to hell, not you. If he is troubling, it’s all right. Let him. Who got “ill” feeling? Why should you worry? You are not doing anything. You should be happy about it. On the contrary somebody is troubling, look at that – “This fellow, is troubling, he has got so much money, has got this, while I am troubled, I haven’t got this”. You have got your Self Realisation. He hasn’t got.

This is a very big source of satisfaction and elation that we are self -realised souls and let us try to have our complete establishment. We are to be ornamented. We are to be put on the throne, we are to be the kings. This is what I desired. So, beggars, cannot be taken. So if you make a beggar a king, he will still do this and that. So this great personality has to come, a king of dignity, serenity, a kind of a personality that should show that you are a Sahaja Yogi.

So I said, there are only two enemies, which you have to fight for, that you should know you have got your Self Realisation, for that you have got your pujas. At the time of the Puja, you just surrender yourself to Me, because if you are not surrendered, your mind is going round and round. It’s like a putting something on to a fan, which doesn’t accept it, just throws away. In a way, you are that, that’s what.


The second point is that a Puja is a surrendering.  It’s a feeling of the heart. Open the heart. At that time you should open the heart and that I am worshipping. Now the problem is that, with the egoistical people if you tell them anything they feel hurt. It’s the worst part.  (Extract of Discourse on ninth night of Navaratri, Pune, India).                                                                 ….to continue
