"After going through the various experiences of American Sahaja Yoga, I’ve reached a conclusion that we have to talk more frankly about things than we have been talking before. Why there’s such a failure of Sahaja Yoga in this great country, while there are so many seekers.

The main point is that we do not realise that the left side is overpowering this country very much. There are people who are active but the percentage is very low because of too much of affluence, too much of freedom, the idea of 'what’s wrong in anything.'

People are going towards shamelessness, immoral life, self-indulgent. And this self-indulgence, to protect that, people always develop a kind of a ego which has no dynamism in it."

"When Life does not find a singer to sing her heart, she produces a philosopher to speak her mind."

Kahlil Gibran. From Sand and Foam, 1926

"There is joy but you cannot feel the joy because the power, that subtle power of divine discretion, is not there. Once that comes in, you start enjoying everything. It’s just the same. Life is just the same. Nothing has changed. Same house, same family, same city, same environment. But you start enjoying because the sensitivity of your Hamsa Chakra is now only for divine discretion and you immediately know and then you don’t want to do anything with the thorns, only want to gather flowers and you know how to gather flowers and you are in joy.

So the light of the spirit, which shines through your Hamsa Chakra, gives you wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t mean that you know how to argue things or you fight with people. No, it doesn’t mean that!

Wisdom means how you take to the good side of everything, to enjoy it. This is wisdom and that you avoid all destructive things and take to something constructive."
