It's winter time in Val Borbera...

time to rest and... meditate

HH Shri Mataji quote from Shri Guru Puja 1982

........

But we have to learn from the nature. Nature dresses up itself when it has to greet the spring, and when it is the winter it just gets completely undressed, I should say, because the leaves have to go to the Mother Earth, and that the sun has to reach the Mother Earth. It is not attached to anything. Surprisingly it is much more elemental than we are; while we who are spiritual should have no attachment.

........

Today is the day of the Guru Puja, the day when you have to worship your Guru. You are really fortunate to have a Guru which is a Mother. And My mother and guru is this Mother Earth, which teaches Me how to deal with human beings. And she’s the one who also in every stage of difficulties helps Me to correct My own methods of nirmala vidya. She has been such a kind mother and a kind guru to Me. And she’s such a soothing personality. This, all this green, though is given to her by sun as they say, is just to soothe us all. She wears the green upon herself, and the green is the Guru Principle. She’s the detached personality. She’s the magnetism, she attracts. When people are walking on her, she is looking after them. She creates out of her swayambus, the self – what should we say to swayambhu? – ah, yes, self-manifested stones. See, her attraction and her concern is so great that without her we would be hanging in the air.

And she keeps Me to the brass tacks, as they say – to the reality. If I wanted I could be just the Spirit, and not bother about anybody else. The way she bears our sins, the way she always looks after us and nourishes us, despite our so many defects: in the same way a guru should do.

She is extremely forgiving; but she explodes as an earthquake, and sometimes hot calcium and hot potassium can come out of her. She produces sulphur for you, for your cure. If England’s soil becomes vibrated, then this soil can be used for medicine. In India people use clay for medicine, for every kind of treatment. The understanding about Guru Tattwa one can have from the Mother Earth, so let us touch the Mother Earth and bow to her.

May God bless you.

She’s subtle!
