" Everything is Radha! Now the question arises - Who is Radha? She is the highest. "

" You can carry on with combination of form and formless even here. I will tell you about it. Don't fear about the all pervading. You can't practice the feeling of all pervading Mother unless form and formless are combined. Wherever you go, you will feel Mother's presence there. It should not be here only. Wherever you go, you must see only Radha. You will attain that feeling. Mother will show you Her presence. That is the combination of form and formlessness! The Bhagawad Gita also explains this point. 'Bahunam .. sudurlabha' . You must see only Vasudeva everywhere. Wherever you go, you must feel His presence; not in one place only. In the same way, we must see Radha everywhere. You will also get it with practice; you too will see like that. I feel Radha everywhere . "

" Why do you do mantra? When you are feeling Mother's presence, why do you need mantra? Why does a couple need to write letters after they are wed and living together? "

" Name is also like that! I gave up chanting Her name. You will also automatically give up when you feel Mother's presence everywhere. You don't need mantra in that state "

" Even in the first stage, only chanting Her name has no effect. 'Nayamathma pravachena labhyaha'. Man cannot realize God with preachings and rituals. This means that your mantra will take you only up to some point; your journey will stop there only; you will not reach the destination. Mantra consists of words and sounds related to prakriti. As long as you are linked with prakriti through words and sounds, you will revolve within prakriti for ages and ages; you cannot go outside prakriti. It is impossible. That is why; I am saying again and again that mantra will take you only up to a certain point in your journey towards Mother. I gave up mantra because I crossed prakriti. When I look at different cases, I feel that I am beyond prakriti. We don't need words.. Don't have any doubts. Practice regularly. Then only form and formless will combine. Always feel that Mother is with me. You must develop the feeling that Mother is continuously with me. Be aware of the presence of Mother. You must climb seven steps in the path of dhyana. When you begin with feeling Mother's presence, you will slowly reach the final step. "

" Awareness - wherever you are, feel Mother is with you. That is enough; no other mantra is needed. Begin with feeling that 'I am not alone; Mother is with me always'. Maintain this feeling continuously. "

" Effortless awareness - This is the second step where in you don't need to put in effort. Automatically, it will become a habit to feel that Mother is always with you whether you sit or stand. This is really wonderful! When the awareness becomes a habit, Mother will prove that She is with you. "

" I will give you a few examples to prove Mother's presence with me. I will explain the power of that awareness. When I was in the second stage of dhyana yoga; I was writing the third volume of a book on Mother in Guntur ashram. It is a wonderful volume. It was peak summer. I was sweating profusely. Though, I was uncomfortable, I did not stop writing. At 2 p.m., a stranger came to the temple and peeped into my room. 'What are you writing, my son?' 'I am writing the third volume of book on Mother.' 'You are sweating so much. Why don't you stop for some time?' 'Not only sweating, even if I am bleeding, I will not stop. Mother's work is more important than my life.' By the same night, he got the room air conditioned. "

" Where is Mother? Though She is not visible, She is certainly with us. Another incident! I used to sit in an iron chair which was uncomfortable. One day a man asked me 'my son, is it not painful to sit in this iron chair?' 'Yes, it is painful'. 'Why should you suffer the pain?' Immediately he called a carpenter and ordered to make a comfortable chair like sofa type. That chair is there even now. Recently, one girl wanted to make a comfortable chair for me using foam and gave money for that chair. I never asked anybody, nor will I ever ask. "

" The expenditure to celebrate Mother's birthday function amounts to a few lakhs of rupees. She told me, not to stretch my hand before anybody for money. 'Don't ask'. Then I returned the money that I asked. Within no time, I received money from so many devotees. Now the position is such that our funds are sufficient for second year's function. "

" So the second step is continuous awareness; it will become a habit slowly. Once these two steps are achieved, the rest will follow automatically. "

" In the beginning, you must concentrate on awareness calling out. 'O Mother, please come to me' is the wrong way of calling Her. The right way is Mother has already come. All pervading does not come and go. If a person comes and goes, it is not considered as all pervading. Our Mother is really all pervading; She is everywhere. Wherever you are, you continuously feel Mother's presence. Awareness of Mother's presence is very essential. You may wonder how to feel the awareness effectively? "

" I will give one example. In a district court, the judge is trying a very serious murder case. The advocate is cross examining the witness. Now the advocate is a chain smoker who has a number of cigarettes readily in his pocket yet he does not smoke in the court hall. Why? The judge and so many advocates are there around him. He is aware of the presence of the judge but is he seeing the judge or the witness? He is primarily seeing only the witness but he is also aware of the presence of the judge. Because of this awareness, he does not smoke for one or two hours till he completes the cross examination. In the same way, though we may be tempted to do so many things, we don't because we are aware of Mother's presence. "

" Say some dancing is going on somewhere. Dancing is nothing to do with our spiritual subject. It is a waste of time. I am aware of Mother. She will not allow. She will not feel happy so I leave it. I don't care for it. You must carry on like this. You will interact with your neighbors for something or other but when you really feel Her presence, when you are aware of Mother; you won't go elsewhere. Gradually your contacts with others will be controlled within 15 days. You will not go anywhere; you will not meet anybody; you will not hear or see anything. You will observe this change in yourself. Awareness is so powerful. "

" Two devotees (Uma and Lakshmi) come to Guntur ashram regularly for awareness classes. When they practiced for some time, they felt they don't want disturbance of any kind. They developed distaste for all other things. You also will feel like that. She told the servants to remove the TV. When the principal and teachers of their college came to visit her, she made the servants tell that she was not in town because she did not want any interference of outsiders. Solitude! As dhyana becomes deeper, you cannot tolerate the presence of outsiders. She wanted to be alone. That is a great quality. It comes from within you. As she did not want any disturbance, she removed TV; she also made arrangements to see that none of the business matters come to her. Slowly she could go step by step in her dhyana. Now she has reached almost 6th stage; she had a vision of the brilliant light. You also will automatically get it because that is your path. First is divine light; then you would want to be in solitude. You will develop all these qualities. "

" The third stage - Yearning. Ramakrishna spoke about yearning repeatedly. Unless there is yearning in you, you can never expect Krishna to come here. He will never come. Once you develop yearning, he will come and stay, even without being asked! You will automatically reach the yearning stage. Each step leads you to the next; the seven steps in dhyana are like a chain. "

" Wherever Mother is present, Her power of blissful ecstasy (Hladini sakthi) also is present. An officer residing in Delhi came to me recently. He told me about his problems at home. His son got addicted to alcohol and came out with a dagger to threaten his mother because she advised him to mend his ways; he failed in engineering and was in a really bad state. Seeing the father weeping, I told them the path to follow, Radha dhyana! Within three weeks, rose aura surrounded his house. The atmosphere changed into rose color. You also will experience this yourself. Even his servants were amazed that the whole house turned into pink color! Later the boy passed engineering in first class and got a good job in New Delhi. His daughter got married to a highly educated and well settled boy working in a big company, without giving any dowry. They are happy now. The couple came here recently. Amazing facts! Such things do happen when you follow this path. What is impossible for Radha? Generally, we don't reveal to anybody. I am telling you because you asked me. If you both (husband and wife) also follow this awareness path, your relatives will be set right by you only. You need not even come to me. Mother will change you both because you always feel She is with you. So when Mother is there, naturally all other things will disappear. You need not discuss with anybody. You will attain those stages easily. Follow these steps diligently for 15 days with determination; your work will definitely be over! "

" The effect of listening to Bhagawata will remain for 2 days; he is an ordinary man from the third day. This path is not like that. Every minute, every second, you are with Mother. This is an extraordinary penance. Even hundreds of Bhagawatas are not equal to this power of awareness. You must maintain that continuous awareness! "

" I explained about this awareness principle to a reputed lawyer. Within three days, he was surprised. He speaks to me once in three days. 'This is wonderful. I won't leave this awareness. I can't leave it. I don't think I can live without that awareness.' Mother's presence is so sweet! How can you get problems at all? Mother will not allow them. Where there is continuous awareness, there cannot be any problem for you? Never! "

" Don't say like that. You also must come into this path. You will reach that state within 4 weeks. I gave you an example to tell you that you will also attain that state. I wish that you also must become like that. You can easily do it. Only you must have strong will power. You must sustain your will power for 15 days; after that effortless awareness will come automatically. First you need to put in effort; very soon it becomes effortless. It will become a habit to feel Mother with you. "

" When we bought this ashram, everybody in Brindavan warned us that four or five murderers live in the opposite house. Even the police could not do anything to them out of fear. They cautioned us that Badekunj is a dangerous and notorious area and expressed their opinion that we took a foolish step by buying this land for ashram. Do not even say 'Let us see. Mother is there.' Even if you think, She will listen. Have a peaceful heart. That night, Lord Hanuman appeared in Anjani amma's dream. 'Why are you afraid of those gangsters? Nobody will remain after 5 days. I will kick them with my tail.' Truly, after 5 days, not a single fellow was seen! Where and how they went is a mystery. We cannot send them away by ourselves. They all left and we are very happy. We have only devotees now. We are living here peacefully since 14 years. We have no fear for anything. During winter, only three women stay here, in this so called dangerous area. Yet we never had any bad experience. So there is no need to have any fears in your life. You need not even tell Mother about them: She knows! "

" If you remain in the state of awareness, Mother will know all the problems in your mind. She will attack all those problems one by one, even without your asking, without your begging. She is Bhaktanugrahakatara - always eager to bless Her devotees. She is Radha! Will She not know if our ashram is in danger? She definitely knows! When my daughter's family came here, I made arrangements for them to visit Mother's temple in Ravali. They asked me to come along with them. I refused saying that I cannot travel anymore; I am seeing Mother here only. At noon time, when we offered bhog to Mother, a six year old girl entered our ashram with 5-6 ladies behind Her wearing a veil. I thought they belonged to Vraj and came to see Her idol. I called out to bring some sweets for them. When the boy brought sweets, nobody was there! As I could not go to Barsana She Herself came near me. She gave me Her darshan here itself and vanished. I always feel Her living presence. I feel Her, She is with me. We have no time to think about problems. Whenever we face a problem we think 'Mother is here. She will take care and it will be solved. We literally kicked out the problems. "

" I always feel Her living presence. "

" I feel Her, She is with me. We have no time to think about problems. Whenever we face a problem we think 'Mother is here. She will take care and it will be solved. "

" We literally kicked out the problems. "

" When Sunanda went to Tirupati, her leg was swollen. The doctors took a scan and gave medicines but the pain did not decrease. She rang up 15 days back. 'Nanna garu, my condition is horrible. I cannot get up from sitting position. I am unable to do any work.' She is not able to sit down as her leg is swollen. Wherever she goes, somebody carries chair or stool for her to sit down. 'I am not able to sit or stand. I am not having good feeling; nothing but hell' . I gave her mantra from here only; she is almost normal now. I stopped mantra also. With medical treatment, it would have taken 2 - 3 months to cure her. "

" Quite right! Not later on; now and here. Omnipresence is here. For others, omnipresence may be the end; for us it is the start! You will also realize the effects. Within 10 days, you will experience that blissful happiness if you sincerely practice awareness. The only condition is that you must not worry in your mind. That is Mother's principle. "

" There is no asking here. It is a wrong process. It implies that you are not seeing Mother here. I will give a small example. One girl saw my chair in Ravali. Immediately she gave money and told to buy a comfortable chair for me. My Mother who is with me always sees my comfort. Otherwise who will spend so much money for a chair? But that girl did so spontaneously. We have no worry; no problem. I never thought of a good chair for me. Mother looks after my comfort and hence gave the thought to that girl. These are all the effects of awareness. "

" When we planned to celebrate Mother's function grandly, I thought of informing everybody to make some contribution. We made a list of our plans. Mother tore off that page. 'Don't ask for anything. Money shall come to your feet. Don't stretch your hand. It is very wrong.' She said money would come near our feet! Where can you find such a philosophy? Where does such a Mother exist in this world? We sat here calmly. On the second day, we received a DD. Later DDs began to come one after another. "

" We always live with Mother. We do live without Her even for 5 minutes. Though we are invited for Bhagawata recitals, we do not attend them. We do not go even to Banke Bihariji temple for charan darshan which happens only once a year. Mother is here only. Why go somewhere else? "

" Nagamani, a telugu scholar with MA, PhD was in our ashram that day; she did not go to the temple because I did not go. At 11 p.m, she woke up and saw two feet from my heart. She got up, bowed to me and circumambulated around me. Mother gave Her darshan here only. Where is Mother? Now tell me, is Mother here or there? I can cite hundreds of examples like this. That is why we do not worry for anything. We feel very happy. "

" Recently a couple came here in a disturbed state as they were about to be separated. We are in a state of awareness, so Mother is present here always. She knows their problems. They did not tell us anything and we did not ask them. They went back the next day and informed me that they decided to stay together. I was surprised because they came together and went back together so what is special about that. Then she explained the situation to me. Now they are happy together. There is no need to ask anybody. Now do you understand Mother? "
