1983 0927 Void - You Enjoy Being Nice

Excerpt of a talk by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Original file: ______________________ Now the interest change completely, and you start really helping people and not feeling that you are helping them, not at all. But the surrounding portion of that, which is the void, is the best, which is affected by your awakening, that you become the virtue itself. Nobody has to tell you that you be virtuous, when you are awakened you become a virtuous person, you enjoy your virtues, you enjoy being good, you enjoy being nice, you really enjoy it. And that enjoyment comes to you as a blessing because the virtue itself is so strengthening, so powerful that anyone who is harmed or troubled or tortured or put down, you stand up, you are not afraid of anyone, you are not afraid of any one of them. Now about these people who have been troubling you as fake gurus, I told about them in 1970. I’m just a lady and single-handed I told them who these people are, how they are going to loot you, and what they are going to do; but in this country nobody can think of one genuine person who could be really genuine. It was the problem that time, but with this awakening within you of the virtuous nature, you just know what is virtue and what is not virtue. I don’t have to tell you; I don’t say “don’t do this, don’t do that.” I never say that, it just happens, because when the virtue starts developing, the vibrations improve and you feel extremely joyous. We have lost our virtues because there is no joy out of it, no reward. If somebody is honest, he has to suffer; if somebody’s good, he has to suffer; is somebody’s kind, he thinks he has to suffer; but after getting Realization you are rewarded for your virtues. You are amazed how you are paid for it, it’s so surprising, like once there was a lady who came to see Me, she was a refugee, and I had a big house. So I said, “All right come and stay with Me.” So My husband, My brother they came, they said, “What’s this? You don’t know her, who she is, her husband, whether he is her husband or not, just given her two rooms. It’s not good!” I said, “Let it be, doesn’t matter. I know for nothing is going to happen, let her be here.” So they wouldn’t also go against Me. They said, “All right, if you say so.” This lady stayed for ten days and went away. Then she become a very well-known actress in India, I didn’t know she was the same lady, but somebody told Me that she is the same lady. I said, “Maybe.” Then one day you see, they wanted to make a film for our Sahaja Yoga, so they said, “We can ask this lady to act, because she is a good actress.” I said, “All right, you can go ask but don’t tell her I am here, otherwise she will have no choice. I will not go and see her. You just ask her.” They went and ask her, they said, “Will you be actress?” and all that. She said, “I’ll try.” This, that she was saying. But on the day on when they were going to open the film I went there, she saw Me, she was so amazed, she said, “Oh God, You are the One, You are the One Who is sponsoring this, Oh, I’ll give my life for Her!” She just came forward, she said, “Have anything you like, I have nothing to say, I am so sorry that you never told me that She’s there.” Thousand times more she rewarded a little thing I did for her. [...] A bishop came to see Me the other day, he is a relation of Mine, My brother. He came to see Me, and he was rather adamant and little angry when he came to see Me because he thought, “Why am I trying to do this kind of thing?” But when he saw the Sahaja Yogis he said, “I’m amazed, you know, I’ve been giving lectures in the church for years together, but I could not achieve anything. How have You transformed these people? The drug addicts have suddenly become such good people that they have given up drugs, alcoholics have given up alcohol. How is it without telling them anything?” I said, “Everything is within them. As soon as the light comes you can see everything. You know that this is on your way, this is against your progress, this is anti-life, you just give up. Only thing you have to have the light within you.” So he himself was surprised at this and then he said, “Really, that should be done, is to transform them.” But I said, “You do not transform them by giving them big sermons, you transform them by giving them the real second birth, real baptism.” [...] We’ll see one day that this is the way it has to be. God has given us this power, we have got a Spirit within us, we should try to awaken that and we should accept it, not because I’m doing it, you can do it also. So this thing happens to you with this chakra.
