I See A Mountain Cabella Ligure (Italy)

AuthorLeave a comment

I see a mountain from my window Standing like an ancient sage Desireless, full of Love. So many trees and so many flowers They plunder the mountain all the time. Its attention is not disturbed And when the rain pours Like many pitchers of clouds bursting And it fills the mountain with greenery, The storm may come soaring, Filling the lake with compassion And the rivers flow running down Towards the calling sea. The sun will create clouds and Wind carries on its feathery wings The rain onto the mountain. This is the eternal play The mountain sees Without desires. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 2002.

Shri Mataji has a big following in Turkey. Healthy Life Association members are Her representatives in Turkey. Since 3 years this association is trying to spread Sahaja Yoga in Turkey. Shri Mataji: Everyone has a hidden energy inside. This energy recides in a triangler bone. When this enegy gets awakened, it passes through the six centers in the nervous system and comes out through the seventh center in the head. Then it connects with the Cosmos and with God. Our aim is to awaken this energy. The meaning of Sahaja Yoga is to connect with the Power of God`s Love. The main aim is to awaken the energy called Kundalini. According to Shri Mataji, Turks are very close to spirituel enligtenment. Shri Mataji: Turks come from sufis. First of all, they have to get their realization. If they get realization, they can cope with everything. Shri Mataji says that the only way to understand Sahaja Yoga is to enter into the state of meditation and She takes us in front. The master of meditation says that the holy air that permeates the Universe exists also around the people. According to Her teaching, to feel a breeze is a step towards realization. Shri Mataji: You feel very peacefull with in, absolutely peacefull. Shri Mataji, the symbol of Sahaja Yoga, is leaving Istanbul on Sunday but the Healthy Life Association keeps spreading Shri Mataji`s teaching, giving lessons in their centers in Istanbul and Ankara.

2001-0126 Republic Day Pratisthan Shree Mataji’s Republic Day Speech Pratisthan, Pune 26th January 2001 [Notes from Sahaja Yogis: Desired-media missing] A Republic Day that few of us are likely to forget in a hurry, if ever. Shri Mataji, dressed in a crisp white saree decided to have a small discussion with the Yuva Shakti members and the few senior Sahaja Yogis present in Pune. Flitting between 2001 and the strife- torn time of the freedom struggle, Shri Mataji recollected how her parents were jailed for long periods of time for being active freedom- fighters. Shri Mataji’s father spent considerable periods of time in cus- today even while local people rallied around in support of Shri Mataji’s family. Dwelling on the intense patriotism and idealism of those days for a few moments she came back to the pre- sent to remind us how devoid of national feeling this country had be- come. The people went from selfless devotion of the Deshmata to greed, indifference and rampant corruption. Deshmata occupies a position perhaps higher than that of the Mother, and Desh Bhakti forms the foundation of true Shraddha. One cannot hope to achieve union with the Divine when does not love one’s own nation. Devotion for the country will only develop from an intimate knowledge of all that is around us – the proud legacy of saints, realized souls, artists and freedom fighters; the most fragrant of flowers and the highest of mountains; the holiest of temples and the greatest exam- ples Read More …

1996-0130 Public Program, Bengaluru, India I bow to all the seekers of Truth. At the very outsaid, you have to know that Truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot transform it, we cannot describe it. You have to experience the Truth. What we know about Truth is through our limited mind which is in itself in a confusion. Mind is actually something artificial. The real is the brain. But mind is artificial. And when we start projecting our mind, everybody does it in their own way. And then there is a conflict, there is a fight. Some says this is correct, another says that is correct and one does not know which one is to follow and what to do. We have science before us. We thought science will solve our problems but we must know that science is a-moral. It has no morality within it and it has such limitations that we cannot know the fundamentals about ourselves. For example, we cannot say why are we on this Earth. The science cannot explain why are we on this Earth. What is the purpose of our life. There are so many things we can ask scientists and they cannot answer the questions. So, we take to religion and to books which are written about God Almighty. There also we find the people who are in charge of religion are extremely power oriented or money oriented. They are not spirit oriented. So whatever religion they have created Read More …

1995-08-24 Public Program, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 72 I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, I have to say truth is what it is. You cannot change it; you cannot transform it. You cannot describe it, but you have to experience it. Whatever I am going to tell you here today, you need not take it for granted. We have had lots of problems with blind faith. So, whatever I am saying, if it is proved then you have to accept it. Because it is for your benevolence, for the benevolence of the family, benevolence of your country and benevolence of the whole World. If you see in modern times, people are very restless. And there is no peace within. This restlessness starts when you try to find the truth. You may not be aware of it. But it exists. I am very happy to see so many people here in Brazil, in Rio, who are seeking the truth. At the very outset, again, I would like to tell you what is the truth. The first thing is when you say this is my body, these are my hands, this is my intelligence, we talk of ‘my my my!’ But who is the owner of this ‘I’. This owner is your spirit. Actually, you are not this body, this mind, you are not your emotions, your intelligence, you are not your ego and your conditionings but you are pure spirit.

1995-08-05 Evening Program, Hungary Speech starts at 49.20 So today, I have thought of, because yesterday this lady came and she was going into spasms. And she has been to some, uh, I don’t know what sort of a cult it is. But she said that she has discovered that they are all false, so now she has given them up but she is very much possessed. Now, after seeing her, I felt that still in Sahaja Yoga we will get people who will be coming from such problems. And they will tell you about what has happened to them or how they got into it and how much money they had to pay, all these things. Of course, they are anxious to get well and they will request you to cure them. So what you have to do is to take a bandhan and tell them that you can cure yourself, you need not, we need not cure you. You can give them the photograph and you can tell them how to use it on the left hand side. But out of sympathy you just don’t become extremely kind to them and get the possession into yourself. It’s very important because in the beginning always I have seen many people get caught up and then they leave Sahaja Yoga, then they want to come back again. And they are then very caught up. As far as possible, you should not really try to treat anyone. You can ask them, Read More …

1995-08-04 Public Program, Hungary [beginning missing – tape overwrite] [recording starts at 7.24] All this living work is done by this all-pervading divine power, but we have never felt it before. When this kundalini rises and pierces through the fontanelle bone area then you can feel this power, as cool breeze of Holy Ghost. For the first time, you feel it and you are amazed how we never had this experience before. Once it happens, then you are amazed at yourself because you become really very compassionate and very dynamic. You can see your problems clearly and when you can see them, you can solve them much better. Then you realise what is divine discretion. Not only that you know yourself, but you also know others on their centres. Because you develop a new awareness; a new dimension in this human awareness which we call as collective consciousness, where you can feel others on your fingertips. These centres tell you what’s wrong with others also. If you can cure yourself, you can also cure others. In India, three doctors got their M.D. when they cured people with Sahaja Yoga. Many incurable diseases can be cured by you yourself, with your own power. But we have to believe in ourselves, we have to have self-confidence. If this instrument [mic] was not connected to the mains, it has no identity, it has no meaning. In the same way, if you are not connected to this all-pervading power, we have no identity.

The Essence of Holi. The Spring Festival of Colour. New Delhi (India)

Author1 Comment

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, New Delhi, 17-3-1995. It is Holi today. Holi these days, is quite different from what it used to be. We must know the essence of Holi. By burning all the rubbish collected in us, we get a surge of love in a clean heart. Which makes everyone so joyful. Hence first of all we must bum all our negativites. There should not be any politics in Sahaja Yoga. The society is in a vice like political grip. Sahaja Yogis get affected by this situation. An immature Sahaja Yogi may say something to another Sahaja Yogi in the influence of his conditioning. That can affect the other Sahaja Yogi and he may in turn say this to someone else. This may give rise to a wave that can spread like the flu. This is a disease (politics) and it spreads far and wide. In the olden days, women folk used to do politicing and men folk used to fight but now it is the reverse which is happening. Anyone who desires his ascent, must not get trapped in such activities. It is a massive compassion. I watch everything but don’t speak. Sahajyogis should not have any animosity between each other. Like ’Narada sage’, Sahaja Yogis also increase rivalry by telling non-sensical things to each other. Increasing rivalry between Sahaja Yogis, the network of love breaks. We must love Sahaja Yoga, we must love Mother. Still, all this is less than what we used to be. Now people Read More …

Public Program, 1994-10-18 I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, I have to tell you that truth is what it is. We cannot change it. We cannot describe it. Unfortunately, at this human awareness, we cannot feel it. Absolute truth has to be felt on you central nervous system. Now, whatever I am going to tell you tonight, you have to take it not for granted at all. We have had inner problems of blind faith. But if you treat it as a hypothesis and if it is proved, then you have to accept it as honest people. The truth is that you are not this body, this mind, this intellect, these emotions, these conditioning and ego. But you are the pure Spirit. Here now you see beautiful flowers and we take it for granted. Actually it is a miracle. Many livings things, we take it for granted. Who runs your heart? If you ask the doctor, he will say: “It is autonomous nervous system.” But who is this “auto”? So the second truth is that there’s a All-Pervading Subtle Power of Divine Love that does all the living work. We cannot feel this Power on our fingers, but it exists. Today for the first time you all are going to feel it. It is called in the Bible as the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost. In the Koran, it is called as Ruh. And in the Indian scriptures, it is called as Paramchaitanya. Read More …

1994-10-16 Public Program, Sao Paulo, Brazil I bow to all the seekers of truth.  At the very outset, I have to say that truth is what it is. You cannot change it. You cannot challenge it, and unfortunately, with this human awareness you cannot know it. In our evolutionary process, we have become human beings but still we don’t know the absolute truth. Something more has to happen to us that we all know the absolute truth. Because we don’t know the absolute truth that’s why we have arguments. We have problems, we quarrel and fight, and ultimately we have wars. In all the scriptures, it is written that you are to be born again. Whatever I am going to tell you, you should not take it for granted. This blind faith has brought lots of problems to us. But, you should keep your mind open as scientist and if you find what I am saying has been proved then as honest people you have to accept it. Because it is for your benevolence, for the benevolence of your family, for the benevolence of your country, and for the benevolence of the whole World. Unfortunately, most of the problems come from human beings in this World. And almost all the problems of human beings come from these centres being in jeopardy. These subtle centres are responsible for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being.  You have been already told about this power kundalini, which resides in the sacrum bone.

Yogini: He is saying that with the fan it is not helping, Shri Mataji. All right, then put it off. [To a yogi in Hindi] If you move the fan further away, it will be all right. Better. It makes too much sound; fan was making too much sound. So now we have to know that our awareness is not sufficient enough to know the absolute Truth. Actually, we don’t know the absolute Truth.

1991 – 08 – 07; Public Program Budapest Hungary I bow to all the seekers of truth.  At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot talk about it, we cannot conceptualise it. We have to feel it on our central nervous system. That is what is called (? buddh), from where the word “Buddha” has come. In the early Christians’ era the Christians were called as Gnostics, about which Saint Thomas has written when he went to India. The “know” word comes from the Sanskrit word which means “to know” (the word). So not to know, mentally, but to know on your central nervous system. So at our human awareness we cannot know the truth. We have to become a subtler being. We have to be born again, as they say. But it’s not just a certificate, that we are born again. It is the last breakthrough of our evolution, where we become the Spirit. It is the becoming which is very important. Now you are getting exposed to religions and you have to understand that whatever religion you may follow, you can commit any sin. (Shri Mataji speaks to the translator: Whatever religion one may follow, they be Hindu, Muslim, can commit any sin.) Because righteousness is not awakened within you. That has to be awakened.

My dear Yogi, A lot of sahaja yogis were sad/hurt after reading Uma Vasudev’s article and I got a lot of letters. Maybe, you also receive a few letters, that’s why I’m writing this to you as some people might be upset with you, even though I think one thing might be beneficial to me. that’s why my attention went to this article. You know how I run away from people touching my feet. Why do you people let non sahaja yogis touch my feet? I admit that some people get their self realization while touching my feet but even they most of them are troublesome. I’m spared by egoistical people because such people do not come at my feet. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to these feet? Poor feet would have gotten burnt. I’ll be grateful to Umaji if after reading this article the general public stops touching my feet. But she should not think of herself as sensible/intelligent and others as fearful. does Umaji know everyone’s desires? In this world everyone is equal but cannot be similar. Everyone has the right to get their self realization and develop in that light. Sahaja yogis believe that I’m the source of this light, based on their experiences then, Umaji who is unfamiliar in this matter; shouldn’t insult them by calling them sycophant.

Athea is the primordial mother. I think they all believed in it before but then somehow or other accent was more on God the Father. [unclear] The Father is the spectator and the Mother is the creator, and there’s the Son of God. The Trinity is like this – the Holy Ghost is the primordial Mother.  Question: So when did you first know that you would speak [unclear] right from the beginning when you were a child?

You have to take it as a hypothesis, and then if you get the experience of self-knowledge and you see for yourself, you’ll be amazed.  You know about yourself.  It is wrong to say that you are sinners, and it is very wrong to make you feel guilty.

It was discovered only forty eight years back, where he has clearly said that you are here to enjoy the beauty of God’s love and you have to know yourself. After that you will enjoy your complete freedom. Whatever he has said is what Sahaja Yoga is. Here you have to know that you are at the epitome of evolution.

But problem is with human beings only. If you go in the forest you’ll find forest is a very, very clean place. There are tigers. There are other animals but it’s absolutely clean and there is no bad smell or anything anywhere. But if some human being go and live there then you will immediately know. The reason lies with us that we have not yet achieved our absolute  being which is so glorifying and so beautiful. As it is we have evolved much more than animals. You can see if you ask a dog to pass through any dirty lane he can do it very easily, no problem. And you see even a horse doing the same thing. But human beings cannot. They cannot bear the dirt  and filth. So we have evolved. We have evolved to the state where we are human beings. But still l may tell you whatever we may believe into, whatever faith we may have, still we are not powerful people because we give way to wrong things very easily.

Evening talk and bhajans after Puja (Inaudible) Moreover, where ever I went people used to say am I Spanish or something. I used to wonder what is so similar between Me and the Spanish women. I think the love in My heart is expressed on My face, perhaps. In the same way, I hope the women of Spain become loving and affectionate towards others. One thing we have to realize that Sahaja Yoga is Love and Divine Love, and it is not attachment, it is not possession, but it is a giving love. It is not love of the flesh. It is not love of any material thing, nor is the love of your faith, but is the love of the Divine. This (inaudible) if you really try to witness everything in its reality and see for yourself that how and why are you attached to something. Once it is discovered, that we are detached in our witnessing state, then automatically the pure love starts flowing. As soon as you get your light, the sunlight, all the fog disappears. In the same way, as soon as you get Spirit shining in your attention, all your doubts, all your mistakes, disappear. This is what I told you today that you have to be aware of yourself because now you are friends of your Self, your Spirit. So, when you are the Spirit, you are like a brilliant diamond, which is giving light by itself. So it is important to understand what Read More …

Talk at Rahuri Temple, 20.12.87 (Tape 1 Side B) …must have been everywhere••.many other things, settling so many things in other places. That’s how the time passes on. It’s nice to have here in the night, you can see all the lights and all the beautiful silence around you. If you see know the sky like a….if you can have a look at the sky, is like a …. Now, I must tell you the history of this place, is that here one Rakshasa called Raho was to be killed by the Goddess, and she used a ….to kill him, that Rakshasa. And he in fear, he started screaming loudly and that scream is called as Aradh (?) and that’s-why we call this-place as Aradh. And when I came to this village I told them that “why do you want to remember, remember the scream of a rakshasa. You call it asARarkao. (?) meaning the foreign place of the Goddess, Arvana, the foreign place. So thcv agreed to it and now they have applied for that, and they have passed a regulation that this place should be called as Arvana. As it is something in the name also that this place was all resolute, and this barren, there was no water, people had a bad time, and very funny types of trees started growing here, which had very bio thorns and they were very fatal.

Talk To Sahaja Yogis Melbourne (Australia)

Talk To Sahaja Yogis, Melbourne (Australia), May 18th, 1987 But we could set out certain things in this short time, I think that was a good idea. And he told me that there were 70 people who came for the follow on. I thought now that more people will be coming down here. And the person who is the owner of this house is creating a problem for us. He cannot do it under law. He cannot do that. So, in case he doesn’t listen, we should put some law upon him, and we must see that you don’t have to pay more and we keep the backside of it [unsure]. So, that can be done. [Despite] lots of difficulties, we must keep the house. Because we’ll get more people from this new group and we have to attend to them also. So, some people can shift to the other house, which has got four bedrooms and some people can, very nicely, live here. So, we can have both the places. And one should not vacate this house. He has no business to increase the rent and he has no business to take back the house. I’ve also suggested that we should have the pre-school going on and they should not be stopped. Plus, we should also have a creche in this hall, you can have a creche [from 2,8 to 5 years old]. So, many mothers who go for work or who go for – say, some sort of Read More …

Farewell Talk Sydney (Australia)

And be coming back to Sydney again. And stay here have been wonderful.  We have made the largest number of people and you have to look after the people who are going to come here now.  We have to be very cautious and careful with the new people because they don’t know about Sahaj Yog, they don’t know about the kingdom of god, so don’t have to show off in any way. Try to be kind and nice to them and tell them everything.  In such a manner, as if you’re trying to be very helpful to them.  Don’t get angry with them, don’t shout at them. So very big responsibility, I think, to. Get the new people. In proper shape. It’s a knack I think. It has to be a nack if you find somebody rather difficult or someone, then you ask somebody else to deal with that, go on on shifting such a person, so that person gets fed up and will go away if somebody is asking too many questions or anything. Also, you try this thing like that, you see, don’t go on arguing, don’t argue with anyone. Too much arguments will not bring anything, you know in Sahaja Yoga cannot be argued on some extent is all right, but too much. It should not be argued. Now. We have achieved quite a lot in Sydney and for the whole world to see that if you can do that in Sydney, why not anywhere else? Let Read More …
