But I have seen many people come, more people come down but they do not understand the seriousness of the whole thing. Some of them are, some of them do get into realization and some of them get it and then they feel very happy and go home and say, “Oh! I’ve got it now,” finished. “Take Mataji’s photograph, I can manage on my own,” you cannot. This is another condition of this thing. Once you get realization you cannot manage on your own. You sit down at home, work on My photograph all that, but you have to come to the collectivity. Because now the time has come to work on a collective being, like a complete body is needed, you have to have a hair, you have to have a heart, you have to have a liver, you have to have everything. You cannot just live as one finger somewhere and another finger somewhere. The work of this emancipation is tremendous, for that we have to have collectivity. And that’s why you have to come to collective exposure. You all should expose yourself more and more and those who have followed it up only have matured. Those who have not are still dwarfs.
Self-Realization can’t develop without collectivity
