1983-0527: Talk to New People after Meeting, Brighton, England [This section comes from the audio sent by Derek from UK.]Shri Mataji: Hello! Freedom of the world, isn’t? I told you it is more like it. A lot of people did not come today.Sahaja Yogi: … and she is from Rottingdean along the coast [a little way]Shri Mataji: Is it? How far?Sahaja Yogi: A couple of miles,Shri Mataji: That’s all?Sahaja Yogi: That’s allShri Mataji: Did you feel anything yesterday?Lady: Not very much.Shri Mataji: Not very much, all right. [AUDIO 2 STARTS HERE]Shri Mataji: How are you?Lady: Very well.Shri Mataji: Now, all right. Did you say it thirty-two times?[Laughter][AUDIO 1 STARTS HERE]Shri Mataji: It should be sixty-four.You see, it is a reaction. You see, it is a very funny thing, but when we smoke, you see, we feel guilty as well with it always, because we are doing wrong to ourselves. And that guilt builds up again. So, again you’ll smoke; again that guilt builds up. So, it goes on building up, you see. But you’ll give up, no time; it takes little time. I’ve seen if the young people [let’s/ like], say, him or someone who gets realization, they drop all their habits overnight, absolutely overnight, but for older people because the habit is now gone too much in the system and also the willpower is little bit [less], so they take little time. But it works out. So don’t you worry and don’t feel guilty about it. Seeker: No, well, Read More …

We can get Self-realization so easily Brighton (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program I went to your radio broadcasting and people told Me that, “It is very difficult to believe, that we can get Self-realization so easily.” Also that, “The whole thing sounds so fantastic, so great and how can we human-beings get our realization so fast.” We must know that we have not created ourselves and we cannot create ourselves either; We can destroy but we have not created ourselves. Some energy, some force – call it God, call it anything – has created us and the way we have become human-beings, one can see very clearly, there has to be some purpose. If so, then we have to find out that purpose. Logically, we reach a conclusion, that whatever we know today about ourselves and our being and our purpose, is not sufficient to convince us of our importance, of our glory and the need for this force to create us. To understand what it is, why are we here, why are we made human-beings – are we able to find out with this human instrument we have got? With our human awareness can we find out why are we here, why are we made or is there anything else provided within us that can give us the ideas, the knowledge about ourselves. One thing is definite, we must understand that in these modern times, there are many people born, who do not accept life as it is. They perhaps do not know for what purpose but they want Read More …

Conversation with Sahaja Yogis, “You need to have big ideas”, ashram in Brighton, UK, 1980 (lunch time) Shri Mataji: But they don’t know cooking they said.Sahaja Yogi: They know a little bit. Ricardo knows a little bit of it.Shri Mataji: Does he know you are his side?Sahaja Yogi: Yes, yes, he knows.Shri Mataji: Then that really is very, very, they are very much playing there.[About the baby] Now, she’s singing. We should not show that we are paying attention to her, otherwise becomes self-conscious.You didn’t think that that can please children, very little things there. Then I saw Portugal is like that, I felt maybe the over-industrialized countries may become like that only.Sahaja Yogi: All alike.Shri Mataji: You see, this unemployment, and these are not very good signs for any country. That’s how it starts. It started the same way in Portugal. People got unemployed, and they’ve got out of their country. Now out of the, I don’t know, six million people in Portugal there’s only one million people they only think about, left. All the rest are out. And the proportion is much more, I think.Sahaja Yogi: In Brasilia, in Sao Paolo or Brasilia, that is a city from Brazil, there are more Portuguese than in our whole country.Shri Mataji: That’s it.Sahaja Yogi: More than in Portugal and in France too. They don’t want Portuguese anymore. No one, nobody wants Portuguese. That reputation we have, very bad. In France they hate, they hate us, and in Brazil, they make Read More …

Radio Interview, Brighton (England), Friday, May 27th, 1983 Weeks ago on Gioanna’s program and Gionna was actually here, Jillian Copeland came in to discuss a new, well new to us, anyway, yoga, called “Sahaja” I think that is the correct pronunciation. Well at that time Jillian wanted to know if it is possible for her to bring Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi back, I think I‘ve pronounced all that correctly. And we suggest we would be delighted, well, we are delighted because both Jillian and Mataji are with us. Jillian first welcomes and thank you for coming back. [Jillian: Thank you] And now maybe you could give us some information about Mataji. Jillian: Shri Mataji is the wife of the very prominent gentleman in the Maritime Organization and she has spent quite a lot of her time giving Self-Realization to people who wanted. And for your people who are listening, I would ask them, as an experiment, if they could please put their hand’s palm outwards while Shri Mataji is talking and see if you can feel a cool breeze on your hands. If you can then I would urge you to come on to our meeting in Brighton centre this evening at 7:30 p.m. and find out what it is you are feeling. Interviewer: That sounds very interesting may I turn to you and say welcome and Is it a new ..it seems more meditation than actual yoga which I would always believe was exercise? Shri Mataji: Actually in the Read More …
