Collectivity Is the Place

By Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Collectivity is a thing to be understood in a much deeper way than we have thought. Collectivity is the nature of a Sahaja Yogi. It is to be grown within you. Collectivity is the place where you belong.

INTRODUCTION

This book is a compilation created from eight talks given by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi between 1979 and 1991. It is not a verbatim transcription, but rather a selection of prime excerpts with some gentle changes. Editing has been done for brevity and clarity.

No important words have been changed. There has been no paraphrasing or rewording. Some repetition has been removed. Some examples, stories and side remarks have also not been included. Sentences have sometimes been shortened and some small words added for the sake of clarity. Throughout, care has been taken to preserve the core message. Full explanations of sometimes complex topics have been preserved.

In much the same manner that an editor might approach a fresh volume from a noted author, this book has been prepared with the same care, respect – and joy.

The spoken word often differs from our written language. Each has its own virtues and strengths. Shri Mataji commented on this and has given us some leeway when moving Her words from the stage to the page.

In short, our aim in creating this book has been the pursuit of clarity, to fully take in what She has told us on a single topic, even though years pass between each chapter. Each time She told us more.

Shri Mataji gave more than three thousand recorded talks in cities and villages around the world. For each audience there was special attention in accordance to their age, nationality, occupation or deepest concern. Our guide in editing, we hope, has been respect for the nuances of Her message.

Because some things do not survive the transition to print and because the intonation of the voice and the expression of the face can say as much as the spoken words, we encourage the reader to return to the full recording. A list of the talks used can be found on the final pages of the book.

We hope, however, that this small volume will be a new window, a way of understanding Shri Mataji’s guidance and a vehicle for imbibing Her wisdom.

1. DROPS NO LONGER

You needed a Mother to look after you, to care for you and to be able to transform you with a lot of wisdom.

I find that Sahaja Yogis are expanding their hearts and realizing that they are no more drops, but they are part and parcel of the ocean and that the ocean itself is going to strengthen them and look after them. It is the ocean that is going to nourish them. And the same ocean is going to guide them.

So the connection between a drop and an ocean has to be fully established. The limitations of a drop have to be absolutely dissolved into the greatness of the ocean.
