Music and Conversation on Sainath of Shirdi [Somebody is playing guitar, a Marathi song] Shri Mataji: Hai, Mathe.  Sahaja Yogis: Hai, Mathe. [End of the song] Shri Mataji: Wow, beautiful, very beautiful, very, very beautiful, beautiful.  A Sahaja Yogi: Thank you, Mother. Shri Mataji: Hmm, just tremendous. How did you do it? Everybody’s laughing.  Shri Mataji: Marathi kaha se aa gaya?  Sahaja Yogi who was singing: Ma, English main likha hoga, translation Madhuri [unclear].  Shri Mataji: Marathi is a very difficult language to pronounce, but you did well.  Sahaja Yogi who was singing: Yes… I made a lot of mistakes at first. Shri Mataji: We have the most difficult language. Beautiful. But I feel Marathi is a very integrated language.  Sahaja Yogi who was singing: Yes.  Shri Mataji: It’s a very integrated language. It doesn’t have only one style or one type of things. It is very direct and very subtle, very, very integrated language. I mean, even the jokes and things, there is no vulgarity at all. Maharashtrians don’t know vulgarity. All the time they are laughing. And people can’t understand so why they are laughing. Every word, you see, has double meanings and this and that, very happy people. Very integrated language, I must say.  Like my husband who have come with Me, he used to come with me to see some Marathi places, and to translate it at that instant, I mean instantaneously, was so difficult for Me. I said, “This language has a big tradition behind it, history behind it. How to translate it that fast?” One day, it Read More …

About creation, problems of Americans Los Angeles (United States)

About creation, problems of Americans So, we’ll not go too far with the creation, but we have to start it from some point, that first it was just Parabrahma, and when this energy Parabrahma was in silence, then nothing was there, just silence. From that [too] it was awakened that a human being can sleep, in the same way it was sleeping. Then the desire was awakened that there should be creation. So, the desire was emitted out, out of the being, all around, and so we have two powers created. The first one is the power of God Almighty what we call, is the power of desire of God Almighty and God Almighty Himself. So the first was the Adi Shakti, power of God’s desire. Now this Adi Shakti who is the power of God, was, was the Adi Maya, is the first one.  So, the Parabrahma became divided into two parts. One was the God Almighty, Sadashiva, and the Adi Shakti. So, the first power was created. Then the Adi Shakti was asked to create. And so, if you read My chapter on creation which I’ve written down, you’ll see how Omkara was created and all that. But we’ll go further with it. That it took three shapes. Before becoming the three shapes, Adi Shakti herself had to assume the ego, cause She had to create. With human beings is the other way round. When they do something, they develop ego. But God has to have ego to Read More …

Sahaj Behavior Los Angeles (United States)

Sahaj Behavior, Seminar Part 1, Los Angeles (USA), 1985-05-28 So, that’s a very good stanza if you can remember it by heart, I’ll say it again: [Sanskrit stanza from Adi Shankaracharya] “Pratah smarami hridi samsphura ta twam Satchitsukham paramahansa gatim turiyam” The second part of it: “Yat swapna jagara sushupta mavaiti nityam Tad Brahma nishkalamaham na cha bhuta sanghaha.” So, the second part is – So, the first part, as I told you, is the Spirit which we must bow to, which is the “sat chit ananda”, the one which gives you truth, the enlightened attention and the joy and which takes you beyond the fourth dimension [turiya]. “Yat swapna jagara sushupta mavaiti nityam”: which is awake under the three conditions of our consciousness. There are three conditions of our state, of our consciousness. The first is the sleeping condition, when we are sleeping. Another is the awakened, and sushupti is beyond, beyond the sleep. In all these states of consciousness, it is awake, that Brahma, that All-pervading Power. I am that [prap] All-pervading Power that Brahma, not the combination of five elements. I’m not just the combination of five elements “bhuta sanghaha”. But I’m that All-pervading Power, that Atma which connects you to that All-pervading Power, and I’m not just this reflector which is the combination of five elements.  Just when you think like that, early in the morning, you just rise above and then you do not start with mundane ideas about life, but you start your ideas Read More …

Another Mozart, Lincoln, Gandhi? Los Angeles (United States)

Another Mozart, Lincoln, Gandhi? Shri Mataji: Actually, in the West, I must say, it was unsolved, another unfortunate thing that you never had good kings. All horrible kings were there. And also, the people who came here, invaded Indians, and all those people were very cruel people. And that time aggressiveness was regarded as a very courageous thing. So, the aggression is still on. But we had people like Abraham Lincoln in this country. Think of it. And but for Abraham Lincoln you would not have been even knowing about freedom. But can we produce one Abraham Lincoln again? We can only have Reagan the actor.  Sahaja Yogis: Yes. Shri Mataji: [Hindi] So this is what we have to understand. We had Mahatma Gandhi in India. Can we produce another Mahatma Gandhi? We had Shivaji in Maharashtra. Can we produce another Shivaji? As if they are all legendary people. We had Maxim Gorki. Can we produce another one like him in Russia? Or even Lenin? We have had in England people like Shakespeare. Can we have another one to replace him?  Art. We had Michelangelo. Can we have another one nearer him?  Music. We had Mozart. Can you replace him today? Anybody can beat him? In the West, I am talking. We had Garibaldi. Can we have another Garibaldi? We cannot. So, the quality has gone down definitely. And no hope. So, this is the only hope we have, that we’ll create out of Sahaja Yogis all these great people again. All right? [Hindi] Let us Read More …

Miracles In Sahaja Yoga Los Angeles (United States)

AuthorLeave a comment

Miracles In Sahaja Yoga Please stop, we cannot [unsure]. That we had such miracles in India when I was doing up My house. I had made a staircase in India. We put up in the banisters that they call it banister, that’s the place I’ve measured and think about it, entirely thought. And we have one Sahaja Yogi, [Pradhan] who is a carpenter, who was trying to put it up. So, I said, ‘All right, I’m resting now, here, just try.” And when I got up after half an hour it was still unfit. I said, “What happened?” “Mother, it cannot be fitted. It’s too long. Otherwise how can I fit?” “It cannot be fitted?” “No. How to cut it? Because if we cut it the pattern is not. How we’ll manage?” “I said, “Very simple.” I asked him, “Just hold it, this way, that way, just hold it and cut it with it.” See the wisdom part how it has fitted.” I’ve got it paid in India and measurement was not that I’ve taken like that, I’ve made up, you see. Second thing that happened that we were, you see, we had to put some marble on the ground floor, the basement, and that can be of some sort of a style that cannot be put by anybody. And three, four Sahaja Yogis had come from Rome. And they said, “Mother, you must tell us something to be done. After all, everybody has worked and we want to do Read More …

The role of men and women in a couple, how to speak to new comers Los Angeles (United States)

Author1 Comment

The role of men and women in a couple, how to speak to new comers Shri Mataji: The Anglo-Saxon’s brain won’t accept that you say you should not pay any money for Sahaja Yoga. I said, “For this high-level people there is no Sahaja Yoga.” They can’t understand that you can give Sahaja Yoga without paying any money. So I said, “Really? Then, you tell Me from your Anglo-Saxon’s brain how much should I charge them?” He said, “Millions.” I said, “Really? That’s it. Then you think millions will do compensating for what I give them?” Then he started thinking of it. That’s an ego trick going on, you see. They talk. I’ve seen them, in the other life of Mine, where I see in the parties and all that. “Oh, have you been to that guru?” “No, it’s rather expensive.” “Try. It’s good.” It’s like trying on a horse. Very superficial. Try something new, you see. New, new should be tried. A new wife, new clothes, new style, new everything, new cars, new things. You shouldn’t have anything of permanent nature. Everything should be tried new. Everything should become a junk within one year’s time. Sahaja Yogi: It’s terrible. Shri Mataji: How will they like something that is eternal, that is the Spirit? Changeless. The houses are built in these days, buildings are built in these days in such a manner that it is easy to dismantle that. That’s the basic. Sahaja Yogi: It’s prefabricated everything they have. When Read More …
