" Do you want Maya or Mother ? "

" This is like the story of the elephant and crocodile. Human beings are filled with pride. Once, a proud man went into the river. A crocodile attached him and held him. Crocodile represents maya (delusion). He is seized by maya. His pride about his wealth is the maya prevailing within him. So, man is faced by both kinds of maya - internal and external. We, human beings are like the elephant that is under the control of the crocodile. "

" I must say in this way only. I will cite an incident narrated at the beginning of Narada Purana. One day, Sage Narada came near Lord Vishnu. At that time Rama Devi was sitting in his lap. As soon as he entered, She left the place. Narada asked Vishnu,' my Lord. I am like your son. There is no maya in me. Then why did Mother leave the place when I entered? Please enlighten me.' Vishnu said 'I don't know what maya is within you but she does. Only because maya is present in you, she went away." 'I want to see that maya.' 'So be it!' "

" So that is maya! Anthar maya and bahir maya - inner maya and external maya. The maya within man tends to draw him towards his family. These family bonds are created only by maya. They will lure you but you must always remain in Mother's shelter. When you are with Mother, maya cannot come near you. When your relatives or anybody connected with this world visit you, restrict the time you spend with them. Do not come out of your world associated with Mother. Peep out for a while and retreat back near Mother. When you come out of Mother's world, you must not remain outside for a long time because you will be attacked by maya. "

" When somebody sits down to do incessant dhyana in our ashram, he shall not leave the room. He will shut his eyes and remain inside in dhyana. When somebody rings a bell at noon, it is lunchtime. He must open his eyes at that time only. This is the practice which we will follow in our ashram. I will tell you about incessant dhyana for one week. "

" There must be no gap in dhyana. When you come out of your room, you will talk to other people. That's why the gap must be as small as possible. Go back to your room immediately after lunch. Otherwise the cycle of maya will repeat again. You will make the same mistake as the elephant. It was playing in the river because it is fond of water and the crocodile got hold of it. We also are playing with others in this world and maya is holding us in a firm grip. Then how can you go inside? No wonder Mother said 'it will take several centuries for a person to enter inside from outside!' This is equivalent to a statement in the Vedas, infact higher than that! It is not possible to retreat inside so easily. I feel that She is warning us not to remain outside for a long time. "

" The story of elephant and crocodile aptly relates to the human being. Man is the elephant and maya is the crocodile. We moved away from Mother and are playing with mahamaya. We are losing and getting hurt in this game. That's why She said 'Remain near Me.' "

" What does coming down mean? From where have I come down? Where am I? "

" Yes. I am near Mother. That is my place. I belong to Para. She sent me from there to earth. Whenever She makes a resolution, I come down, perform Her job and go back near Her. I wonder where She will depute me this time. "

" Not only me, all of you are like that. Originally your place was in Her kingdom. We all came down from there and are playing with maya. That's why while in dhyana, we must not remain outside for a long time. Everything around you is maya - your husband, children, everything. It does not mean that you must not have a family; beware that you do not spend much time in this maya! "

" I read one scripture about Sage Vasishta wherein he says about his wife (Arundhati) 'she is a great Yogin, as great as God. God granted her as my wife. She is guiding me at every step. She is doing such a favour to me. It is because of her that the kings bow before me.' Now what did she actually do? She did not allow him to move outside. She always cautioned him 'outside, everything is maya. You must remain only in Rama's dhyana all the time. Why do you move outside?' In a Hindu wedding, the bride is shown the Arundhati star. Why only Arundhati? Are there no other devoted wives? Why not Sita or Damayanthi? Arundhati was a great yogini who transformed a person like Vasishta. When Rama and Sita went to the forest, they met Sage Vasishta and Arundhati. Sita paid her respects to Arundhati first. She placed her hand on Sita's head and blessed her. Then she removed a jasmine flower from her hair and gave it to Sita saying 'I am giving you this flower. Keep it carefully. This flower will wither only when Rama is in danger. Other wise it will remain fresh.' Sita put that flower in her hair for ten months. It remained fresh all that time. Once Ravana created maya that Rama and Lakshmana were dead. Sits removed the flower from her hair and found that it was fresh. She did not believe Ravana. That is the power of Arundhati, the great yogini! No wonder Vasishta said 'she cannot get anything from me. She is a great yogini. Only because she is with me, the kings are falling at my feet. It is her greatness, not mine.' "

" I want to stress on two points. Firstly, you must realize the purity of the lip's nectar. Secondly, I held Mother; you hold me. Then you will not fall. If you hold anybody else, you will slip. I am holding Mother only in a firm grip. If you hold me, you will move upwards. Naturally! I will not hold you; you only must hold me. That is the real secret. I will teach you how to hold me. Then there is no scope for you to fall because Mother will protect you. "

" 'Vasudeva sarvamithi sa mahatma sudurlabhaha'. Only they who see God everywhere are mahatmas. They are rarely found in this world. That is the highest state that can be attained by a mahatma. These idols are dolls. Do you want Mother or a doll? "

" Human beings are living in maya. The real mahatmas see the all pervading Mother and weep for Her. Wherever they sit, they see Mother. They see Her in ever nook and corner. Prahlada told his father 'Indu galadandu ledani sandehamu valadu'. Prahlada is such a great devotee who saw God everywhere. Do you want God or a doll? You, yourself, your husband..what is the use? Don't move towards this maya. "

" Name and form are maya. If you fall in this maya, you will descend down. You must weep for Mother. Your heart should be filled with Her. You must attain Her bhava. That is a wonderful experience. We must not weep for these dolls on earth. "

" Lord Krishna said 'I am Sat-Chit-Ananda. I provide happiness in all the three worlds. There is only one person in the whole universe who can provide happiness to me. She is Radha.' I worship that Radha who provides happiness even to Krishna. That happiness is so intense that you weep when you speak to Her. Due to such happiness, the samskaras of your previous birth will be removed. That is not an ordinary feat because once these samskaras are removed, you will move upwards. This is a great secret. I will teach you about the path you must follow. "

" I was a very good astrologer. I wrote books published by Vavillas. According to astrology, my age is 52 years. Now I am 104 years old. I may live for another 5-6 years. I am saying this because of my work. I must print this material; I must purchase a car; I must travel in four prime routes and propagate about Mother. We shall go to Calcutta, Delhi and Chennai. I will complete my job and leave this word. Mother, grant me leave from here. I will back near You. I don't feel like staying here any longer. "

" Sekhar, note down these points and mention Radhasakhi. Mother accepted it. That's why we were able to complete the previous jobs. "

" I will tell you about my present name - Radhasakhi. Listen carefully. Lalitha sakhi, Visakha sakhi and other sakhis are worldly sakhis. They are known by worldly names. Why should there be a worldly name between Mother and us? I felt that there must not be any thing between Mother and Her sakhi. Hence, Radhasakhi. Mother gave a vision (to Anjani amma). One little girl emerged from Mother's idol (made in Jaipur) and another little girl emerged from me. As Anjani amma watched, both the girls wore similar jewellery and clothes; only their features were different. Listen carefully to the difference between Radha and Her sakhi. Sakhi is born from Radha. That is how it appears. Both the girls are dancing adeptly at the same pace. Their bhava and dance is of high class. I was a dancer before. "

" Sometime back. "

" Not only near Mother, here also. I will dance on par with Her. She showed that to Anjani amma in a vision. "

" I don't know. Purushottamdas ji said that 'he is the confidential sakhi of Radhaji.' I think.. Shall I tell? "

" When Mother came near me for the first time, She came as a little girl and asked me to apply oil to Her. You are a woman. Tell me who applies oil to a woman? "

" Yes. I poured some oil in my hand. Before I could apply the oil, She ran from here to there. I ran that side. Then She too ran away and clapped Her hands as if teasing 'I am here'. This actually happened. That hide and seek was so playful. She was clapping Her hands as if She was saying 'you can't catch Me. I will run away from you. As you search for me, I will clap and beckon you. (Nanna clapped his hands too). Something like this the very first time. "

" God (Bhagawan) is the one who possesses the six divine qualities (bhagassulu). There is no evidence that Lord Shiva possesses these divine qualities. So Bhagawan is totally different. The Bhagawata mentions about these qualities. "

" Gunarahitham, kamanarahitham, anukshana vardhamanam - these are the qualities possessed by God. The Vedas mention 'Krishnena aradhyatheti Radha'. Krishna is always worshipping Radha. She became Radha due to his worship (aradhana). When the Vedas mention that Krishna himself worships Radha, then why should you pray to Shirdi Saibaba and other Gods? If you want to pray to them, continue your prayers but give up worship of Mother. You cannot have both. If you have only one sofa, can the Governor and his attendant be made to sit on the same sofa? Is that the right practice? I have nothing against Saibaba. According to Vedas, Radha is the highest. Is there any mention about Saibaba in the Vedas? "

" There is a mention only about Radha. It is not right to mix both worships. Always ananya bhakthi (one pointed devotion) is the best. 'Ananayaschintayantho mam ye janaha paryupasathe tesham nityabhiyukthanam yogakshemam vahamyaham'. "

" When will Krishna look after your welfare? He will take care of you only when you have ananya bhakthi. It is up to you to give up that worship or Mother's worship. Do not continue both together. It is sheer ignorance to give up Radha and pray to lesser Gods. No sensible man would do that. Would you choose the collector or an attendant? You must choose the highest position, not the lower one! "

" You are nothing before that yogic power; your sadhana is nothing. I will give you ten years time. Can you do that feat? "

" Can you explain how I did that feat? "

" Suppose your friend is in Australia and suffering from some illness. You must sit in this chair and cure him from here, without moving from this chair. Can you do it? "

" O.K. Now you brought this girl near me because she is suffering from some incurable problem. Treat her now and cure her. "

" How many gurus does Dattatreya have? "

" How many? "

" 25 gurus! I am also like that. I am his disciple; all of you are my gurus. My salutations to all of you. "

" They both came near Tanisha. Who both? "

" So that is a vision. "

" We must not believe in visions. "

" Then why are we saying that they both came near Tanisha? "

" But Rama and Lakshmana is a vision! "

" That's a different point. Who are they? "

" Because it is a vision, there is nothing. "

" That means even a vision is real. The vision is in our mind. Is it possible that something is in the mind and something is not? "

" Is the Tanisha's mind pure? He is a crook. Then how could he see them? "

" Do I have strength or power? Nothing. "

" Then you are making fun of me. "

" The Vedas said 'Manayeva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoh'. The same mind is responsible for attaining moksha and also for sinking down to hell. The same mind has two parts - one part goes near Mother and another goes to hell. Which of these two minds does the man have? He certainly has one mind or other. The one that goes higher is the pure mind. If the mind sees only children and relatives, it is the lower mind. Since both are present, you must give up the inferior one. "

" The lower mind is trash. You must discard it and move to the higher mind. "
