Departure, Cairns International Airport, Cairns (Australia), Friday, April 5th, 1991 [14:11] Lots of new people will be coming now. So you all be very very careful how you deal with them. Firstly, keep on the background. Don’t try to show off. Not to say you are bhoots, you have got this in you, that, no. In Sahaja Yoga, we can talk like that. We understand. But those who are coming for the first time, if you frighten them like this, they’ll just run away. So you have to be very very kind, very sweet to them. And, also you can offer some tea or something to them when they come first. So that they feel that there’s love. Let them feel your love first, not your knowledge.But just do not stretch your hands towards them so much.First, you must only make them listen to My tapes. Ask them if they have any questions – which you can answer next time. And after the tapes, you just do the aarti and finish it off. If they want to know, say, anything, you can tell them. But don’t start giving lectures, that’s one thing definite.You could show my tape for about twenty minutes. Then have the aarti and all that. They can have some tea or something. That’s all.Now, some people if they say, don’t feel it, just tell them to use the photograph. And you do not come forward, otherwise, they get a fright, because they think you look like them, Read More …

Short Puja and Discussion with Baba Mama thumbnail

Short Puja and Discussion with Baba Mama Ashram in Cairns, Cairns (Australia)

Author1 Comment

 1991-0405 Short Puja and Talk, Cairns, Queensland, Australia (Notes: whatever you find in Italic and bold, refers to speech in Marathi language) Sahaja yogi: Gravity is also one type of energy, isn’t it, Shri Mataji? Shri Mataji: Of course, in the Feet. Babamama: In the Feet. Because it is one of the things which balances us, called migraine (n.t. probably Baba Mama meant magnetism). Migraine (n.t. magnetism), migraine is one thing which balances us. Is there any relation between head and the feet? Shri Mataji: The whole feet are in the head. (n.t. connected to the head). Babamama: The feet are in the head? Shri Mataji: Or head is in the feet.  Babamama: I also thought the same. Head in the feet or feet in the head, because… Shri Mataji: When you rub My soles, vibrations come of your head. Babamama: Yes. Shri Mataji: [unclear] Babamama: Yes, because when we rub Your Feet, we get a very good sleep. Shri Mataji: Now, if we start from here… Babamama: Yes, Shri Mataji. Shri Mataji: If you start… Now see, if you fold the sari like this, you see, the break is a fourth, you see. So when it opens out, you see, these chakras open up like this, see. So, this one at the back are the chakras and these are the incarnations. So in the center comes the heart. Babamama: Yes, Shri Mataji. Shri Mataji: Here is Mooladhara and here’s Agnya. Then is Swadishthana. Now, this Swadishthana is moving like Read More …

Actualization of the baptism thumbnail

Actualization of the baptism Hilton Cairns, Cairns (Australia)

1991/04/03 PUBLIC PROGRAM Day 2, CAIRNS AUSTRALIA I bow to all the seekers of truth. As I told you yesterday that truth is what it is and we cannot organise it, we cannot conceptualise it and we cannot know it at this human awareness. We have to go into a subtler state to know it. So what is the truth? The truth is that you are not this body, this mind, this ego, these conditionings but you are the pure Spirit. And the second truth is that there is an all-pervading power of God’s love which does all living work. To discover this you have to become the Spirit. Now as I told you yesterday that it happens through your evolutionary process that you have come from the amoeba stage to this stage and now there’s a little more breakthrough. The actualisation of becoming the self is the actualisation of the baptism as described in Christianity. Actualisation, again it’s not something somebody puts a hand on your head and you’re baptised. It’s happening, it’s a reality and thus when it happens and when you become the Spirit, then you discover that you have divinity within you. Your divinity starts manifesting itself. So the ideas of the Divine, the talking of Divine which looks quite mysterious to us becomes a reality within us. The self is to be understood as been described in so many scriptures but as I said yesterday whatever I am telling you should not be accepted blindfolded Read More …

It is your own power which cures you thumbnail

It is your own power which cures you Cairns (Australia)

Public Program. Cairns (Australia), 9 March 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to understand that truth is what it is. We cannot organize it, order it, or conceptualize it. It has been, it is and it will be. And we cannot know it through our human awareness, through our mental capacities, emotional projections, imaginary thinking. It has to be perceived, and to be experienced on our central nervous system. As in our evolution we have grown, slowly developing into human state, also we have to grow a little more to become the spirit state. When I am talking to you about this mechanism, which is a subtle mechanism within us, you have to have the attitude of a scientist who has an open mind, and to accept whatever I am saying as a hypothesis. And then if it is proved, as honest people you have to accept it, because this is for our benevolence, benevolence of our countrymen, emancipation of the whole humanity; because within us is placed this subtle mechanism. This time is so special, I feel, because there are so many seekers of truth. Before this, people used to run after so many other things. First, for the security they had all kinds of clubs and all kinds of arrangements made that you should feel secured from nature, from natural crisis, from animals; and then they developed other organizations just to feel their power and their money-orientation. Now the Read More …

Because India is very (proper game)(*) in cricket. Shri Mataji: I understand it very well. Journalist: Yes, because India is (UNCLEAR) you are flying in New Zealand now so perhaps when you are in New Zealand you (UNCLEAR) may be.

This is just a glimpse of this very unique lady. [Shri Mataji’s voice in the background] We cannot organise it. it is a living process, a living process of evolution. In the evolutionary process we have become human beings. Now, there is only one breakthrough left is that we have to become the spirit. Sahaja! “saha” means “with”, ja is “born”. So, with you is born the right for the yoga meaning to be united with the all pervading divine power. Once it happens to you then you become the spirit. Spirit is the source of joy, source of truth, source of love, so you become that just because your attention is enlightened by Read More …
