is your name: Ma Devagarbha.
Devagarbha means pregnant with god.
Everybody is pregnant with god --
We may know, we may not know
but god exists in us as a potentiality.
We can make it a reality any time we decide.
It is only a question of deciding
Of being decisive.
A wavering mind can't help
Otherwise one moment one thinks one thing
Another moment one thinks another thing.
A rabbi was being interviewed.
The old rabbi has died
And the synagogue needed a new rabbi.
The committee asked the rabbi,
'Are you capable of taking decisions?'
He said, 'Sometimes yes, sometimes no.'
But that's how the mind works.
Sannyas is something of the heart
Not of the mind.
When it is of the mind it is of no value

Because when it is of the heart
You start moving towards transforming
Your potential into the actual
You start becoming more and more aware
Of what you are and what you can be.
Every being, howsoever fast asleep and snoring
Is a god incarnate:
He needs only a little awakening
Just a little shaking
A little cold water thrown into his eyes.
But the ultimate decision is always yours.
I can throw cold water in your eyes --
That's what I go on doing.
And in a winter morning it hurts
And nobody want to get up: One wants to have
A little more sleep, just few minutes,
And the mind goes on postponing.
Few minutes more -- that's how we have lived
For many lives -- postponing, postponing.
We have not lived
We have been only postponing life.
By becoming a sannyasins one is taking a decision
That 'Now no more postponement.
We want to live right now.
We want to transform our being this very moment
And we are bent upon it.
And this can happen
Only though your own decision.
Outer help is possible
But without inner decision, no help is of any help
Because a person
