Maintaining purity of Sahaja Yoga Caxton Hall, London (England)

Maintaining purity of Sahaja Yoga, Caxton Hall, 8th of October, 1979 …. has his own way for some time. I said, let him try. Douglas Fry: I’m not using a loudspeaker I’m just recording you. It’s just for recording. Shri Mataji: Oh, it is not a loudspeaker. Sahaja Yogi: It’s just a tape. Shri Mataji: Oh, I see …and, he had started, you see, doing some sort of tricks which I did feel about him that he had started doing some tricks about his Realisation. Because that’s the only thing one has to be very careful that one can get into. And he had gathered spirits, because he got interested in curing too much. I told him not to cure anymore. I said you can give my photograph, but don’t get into curing part, because if you get the spirits you wouldn’t even know and you will be insensitive to it and then you will have problems. And then he had such funny spirits in him that, those people who came to him, were influenced to give him money by those spirits. And some people were compelled, I mean they couldn’t help it. The only idea that worked into their heads was that they must give money to him! But this was nothing, he started showing my photograph in the eyes and a photograph of Sai Baba in the eyes and all sorts of nonsensical things. Shri Mataji: Hello. How are you? Sahaja Yogi: I’m fine Shri Mataji: How is Read More …

Self-realisation and fulfilment Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“Self-realisation and fulfilment”, Public Programme. Caxton Hall, London, England. 6 August 1979. So much, already, has been said about Sahaja Yoga. As I have told you before, for new people I would like to say that, ‘saha’ means ‘with’, ‘ja’ means ‘born’. It is born with you. It is with you. The germinating power which is going to connect you with the Divine is born with you. As you have a nose, eyes and face, in this body, in the same way this germinating power is within you, has been there for ages. In all your seekings it has been with you, and now the time has come – the blossom time has come, you can say – that people have to receive their connection with the Divine, otherwise the Divine will lose its own meaning. Unless and until you have your own meaning, unless and until you have your own fulfilment, your Creator, who has created you, is not going to get His own fulfilment. That’s why this grace, this special gift to the modern people, that you can really get your Self-realisation. But as Regis has pointed out very rightly, we have all the instruments very nicely placed within us, but since we are born we are attracted all the time by people who come forward with theories that they can introduce you to Divine. Or sometimes you feel that you can find it out. Sometimes we waste our time in very shallow life, all the time destroying Read More …

We have to seek our wholesomeness Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public program “We have to seek our wholesomeness”. Caxton Hall, London (UK). 24 July 1979. Yesterday, I met a lady, and she told me that she was seeking God. I said, “What do you think of God, what are you seeking?” When we say we are seeking, do we know what are we supposed to seek, and do we understand how we are going to feel our seeking complete, that we have reached the destination? As last time, I told you that seeking has to be genuine, from a genuine heart, and that you cannot purchase, or you cannot put in effort about it. But today I would like to tell you what are we seeking. Let us see how the seeking comes within us, from where? As shown here, there is a center called as Nabhi chakra, which is here in the center [INAUDIBLE], Nabhi chakra, which is placed in our spinal chord, and manifests the solar plexus which is placed mid- way under your navel. This is the center that creates the seeking within us. Seeking is only possible when something is living. For example, what is the seeking of this chair? It cannot think, it cannot move, you can put it here or you can put it on the street. You can smash it and throw it away, again use that wood for some other purpose or make a stool out of it. It has no seeking of any kind. Only when a thing becomes a living Read More …

How truthful are we about seeking? Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

How truthful are we about seeking?, public programme, Caxton Hall, London, England. 16 July 1979. The other day I told you about the instrument that we have already within ourselves, for us to have our own Self-knowledge, which is an actualisation, which is an experience, which is a happening by which we become That. It is the becoming, it is not any brain washing or sermoning but it’s a becoming I’m talking about. When we say, we are the seekers of Truth, how truthful are we about this seeking? This is one point we should try to understand. Are we really, genuinely seeking? Are we genuine about it, or we are doing it because it’s nice to say that we are seeking the Truth? If you have to seek something genuine, you have to be truthful yourself. This is one of the greatest hurdles in Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga is a system by which you jump into the Truth itself. You become the Truth, you don’t see the Truth, you don’t understand the Truth, but you become the Truth. It is most amazing thing that human beings don’t understand what to expect out of Truth. They are seeking Truth but they have no conception about the absolute value of Truth. Truth, we cannot compromise. It doesn’t have two sides: like you have day and night, you have right and wrong. It’s absolute! There is no compromise about it. For example, as the other day I told you that when you Read More …

We Are All Seekers, public programme, Caxton Hall, London, England. 10 July 1979. To see so many new people also here. Those who have come for the first time it is better if they sit in the first line most of them, those who have come for the first time. Come forward. [UNCLEAR]. You have come for the first time? We are all seekers – that is to say, that we all feel that there is some purpose in our life, that we realise that we have not had our fulfillment, that we know that we do not know why God has created us, we also do not for definite if there is a power that is called as God’s power, this divine power. It is said that, in all the scriptures, that the divine power permeates into the smallest atoms and pervades all the universes and regulates, coordinates and organizes all the working of this Mother Earth and of human relationships and that is the power of God’s love, divine love. It is too fantastic to believe for a rational mind, you do not see it operating anywhere. It is but natural people do not believe it. But there is something that makes you feel that there is a hand that has organized so many things which we cannot explain how it was organized, why it was organized. For example, we know there is gravity, but we cannot explain why there is gravity, how it is working? Once we Read More …

Seeking the Life Beyond Caxton Hall, London (England)

Seeking the life beyond, Caxton Hall – 1979-06-25 London (United Kingdom) Only thing I would request you not to get into Siddhis.Try to control. If it happens, I think best thing is to go out for a while because I do not want others to be disturbed in the hall, though I’ll try to control. You’re all here, because we had a feeling that there is something that lies beyond which we have to seek. The feeling has come from the unconscious mind and you all want to find out something. Perhaps you do not know what you want to find out but the feeling is there that, whatever you are, you are not in a perfect condition. That you do not know what is your fulfillment. You’re seeking actually your fulfillment. Now when I am talking to you about Sahaja Yoga I have to request you that, this subject is to be understood with careful thought. It’s not a frivolous thing, that you can get to God. Neither it is possible for any human being to achieve it himself. This makes it impossible for people to understand but as I have told you before, you have become a human being without doing anything about it. You got your nose stuck up there without using any glue, without doing any sort of exercise or circus. In the same way if you have to become that higher being, it has to happen spontaneous manner. In a very spontaneous manner by the Read More …

What have we done towards a higher Life? Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

What have we done towards a higher Life? Caxton Hall, London (UK), 19 June 1979. Every time we have some people who are new and I have to again introduce the subject, tell you about it. We are here because we are seeking. We are seeking something of the beyond because we have a feeling within us that there is something that is beyond. But we have no guideline to understand what we have to do about it. In all the scriptures it was described that there is higher life, there is eternal life, there is Kingdom of God where you have to enter, that you are to be reborn. All this is Greek and Latin to most of the people and how to achieve it is another problem that faces us. For this we must ask one question to ourselves, “What have we done to achieve this human state?” From amoeba to this stage how did we come? Do you know what you did, what effort you put in, how many times you were standing on your heads breaking your bones? Did you see any cockroach working it out? Did you see any dog doing that or did you see yourself any time? Have you any memory of that, what have you done? In any human behaviour have you seen that for doing anything important we had to do something about it? For example, we have eyes. We have them. We haven’t done anything about getting them; they’re fixed properly. Read More …

How Aspects of God are expressed within us Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“How Aspects of God are Expressed within us,” Caxton Hall, London (UK). 11 June 1979. …Thank you. Come along. See those who are… You come in front, all right? Better thing is that the new people sit in front. It’s better. Yes. Hello. Good. Very good. So I would like to give you a little idea about this picture that we have in front of us (chakra chart). Now whom we call as God Almighty, the One who is eternal, who doesn’t incarnate, who is all the time there watching the play of His Power, the Primordial Mother, is manifested through Her Power into His three aspects here, clearly, within ourselves and within the Primordial Being who is the ultimate which all the created people have to reach. Now there’s a difference between the two, the Almighty, God, as you call Him, the One who never incarnates, and the One who incarnates on this Earth and occupies a position like this, just like a human being, and He’s called as a Primordial Being or you can say the Viraata, you can call Him the Viraat. Actually, though He’s called as ‘Primordial Being’, He’s an aspect of God. So these are two things if you understand, I will be able to explain to you how the aspects of God are expressed in us. So the first aspect of God is His desire to create, His desire to create and in His desire to create … (Oh, you were outside there Linda, Read More …

The Three Paths Of Evolution Caxton Hall, London (England)

The Three Paths Of Evolution, public programme, Caxton Hall, London (UK). 30 May 1979. I am here to talk to you about a higher life than what we know of, about a power that pervades, permeates, every other power; and about the world which is called as the world of bliss and joy. You must have heard about all these words before also. But I am here to tell you about the instrument that resides within us, all nicely planted within our being, as clear as you see here in the picture, which is a living instrument, which you can also see pulsating actually with your own eyes when the Kundalini, this coiled energy, rises. We have already been blessed to have this ascent into our own being, the breakthrough into the unconscious, to enter into another new dimension all together in our awareness by which we really can find out answers to all your absolute questions. So far, in the ancient India, we had three types of movements. I don’t know if you are aware of all of them, but we had three types. And the reflections of that were manifesting in that country, also in other countries. Even in England we have had people who have been very busy finding out the answers to many fundamental questions, absolute questions. So the seeking has been everywhere in the whole world. But, as I have told you before, India was perhaps the best country, because of its climatic conditions, and Read More …

[UNCLEAR Second row or first row]. Please. Aap bhi samne aiye [you too come in front]. You see if you leave the back seats vacant it will be better because there will be some more coming I guess. And occupy these front ones [UNCLEAR here]. So today we have [UNCLEAR this] introduction to sahaj yog to begin with because there are some [UNCLEAR interest in you]. You have read in many scriptures that there is the power of God that works out everything. Moreover, a human being just feels that there is something of the beyond, something beyond this [UNCLEAR more] comprehension that works out everything. Though we have heard about it, sometimes we get a glimpse of it also. It is not yet very well in our awareness or under our control that we can feel the divine power. As I told you the other day you are so confused about it because you do not know, you have not felt. You have just accepted certain things because some people [UNCLEAR have told] us, because it has been said again and again or somebody has tried to prove that you must have faith to understand.

Agnya Chakra means: To order Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“Agnya chakra”, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 18 December 1978. Today we are talking about the sixth chakra called as Agnya Chakra. The ‘gya’, ‘gya’ word means ‘to know’, Agnya is to know. And ‘A’ means ‘the whole’. Agnya chakra also has another meaning. A-gya,  Agnya means ‘obedience’ or ‘to order’. It can mean both the things. If you order to someone it is an Agnya and the one who obeys the order is an Agnyakari. The one who does the Agnya. This sixth chakra was created in the human beings when he started thinking. Thinking is language expressed. If we do not have a language we cannot think. But it does not mean there is no thought coming into us. If we cannot express it, it does not mean there is no thought process working in us. But at that subtle stage when the thoughts are coming to us they are not in language, so they are not communicated to us, and that’s why if we do not have language we cannot understand what we are thinking. That’s why you must have seen children cannot communicate to us what they want because they cannot say what they are wanting. They feel the urge in the stomach and they want to ask for, say, water or something, but they can’t say it to us, and that’s why they cannot think what they have to say about. But afterwards when you start thinking and putting it into language, that language is stored in our brain as shown in the picture on Read More …

Alright.  We were talking about this centre of our , which is called as the Anahata Chakra, this also controls, it manifests the Cardiac, [unclear] you call it, the heart.  Why are we saying manifests? Because, also manifests, – because these centres [unclear] subtle and (?are) placed in the spinal cord, also do other things apart that from controlling, [unclear] solar plexus or any other plexus like heart plexus or cardiac plexus which is called in the medical terminology – as cardiac plexus. They do also other things apart from these like controlling the,  what you call the, controlling antibodies.  Now, this chakra is very important. I have already told you that we have to keep our hearts clean. If our hearts are clean, we have no fear. When our hearts are not clean, we have fear, so keep your hearts clean. God has already provided you many things of which, perhaps, you are not aware of.

The First Three Chakras Or How To Approach Sahaja Yoga Caxton Hall, London (England), 20-11-1978 …and that gives us our evolutionary ascent. This central force, as I have shown you here, is first in the residual form, kept in the triangular bone and is called as Kundalini. The word ‘Kundalini’, in the Sanskrit language, means – ‘Kundal’ means ‘the coil’; it means ‘coil’. Kundalini – when it is a feminine of Kundal – ‘Kundal’ means ‘a coil’ like the,  you see, you can say, ‘the curl’ or ‘a coil’. When the feminine gender is used, it is called as Kundalini. Now this is the residual force, which has made the zygote, as you call it, or you can say the embryo and the residual of it settles down there. It is much more than that, see – I’m not going into details about it how this force, which force it is – it is a subconscious state, you can say. That is all your subconscious – all your lives – even from amoeba to this stage. Whatever you have been doing, whatever have been your search,  whatever lives you have had, whatever genes you have passed through, like, we can say, if you were, say, a lion,  it is all recorded.

Evolution Beyond organised Religion Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Evolution Beyond organized Religion, public programme, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 13 November 1978. The first part – Draft … powers within us which manifest. Now, these are the undercurrents which we cannot see. They are energies which we cannot feel with our senses. But they do exist, and we can see their manifestation very clearly within us.  For example, the first point on the left-hand side is for our existence. Whatever we have existed as before and today as we are, all that power came to us through this. Now existence, you know – we exist nobody has questions about that, we don’t doubt that we do exist. But how do we exist? When you think this Earth is revolving with such a tremendous speed around itself, and there are billions and billions of stars around, and we are small little very microscopic things compared to this Earth, all stuck on this Earth very nicely, and even when we walk or move we do not fall off, you are kept just there, even if the ocean, say the Atlantic, becomes slightly deeper than what it is, or [the] Himalayas becomes slightly higher than it is, it can create an imbalance. When [the] sun and moon keep their own styles quite alright, and so many shooting stars [are] coming from around, they keep the distance and maintain the human life.

You can come here.) (Speaks in Hindi) Today I will give again a little gist about Kundalini because they have come for the first time, these people, so I think I should tell about Kundalini. These people are experts now, about Kundalini. If you show this diagram to a doctor or someone or a scientist, they will say, “What sort of a thing it is?” And, whether there’s something like this or I’m just telling about some sort of an imaginary thing within us. One cannot see these things within us, which is, they are placed in the spinal cord because they are actually energy areas. These are the areas from where the energy is emitted, a kind of an energy. Because we cannot see them, we do not know that they exist but their manifestation we can see. For example, the doctors can’t say what has evolved us from amoeba to this stage. They cannot give an explanation as to why did we become human beings. What is the part of our brain, which carries all this instrument, that we evolved ourselves from amoebas to this stage and Read More …

The Three Channels Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“The three channels”, public programme, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 23 October 1978. No doubt, everyone will have to go through this process, but how many really want to be themselves? There are certain people who say, “We are seeking.” When I ask them, “What are you seeking?” they say, “We are seeking joy, peace, happiness…” Some of them are worried if they are worthy of it or not, whether they should really know their Self or not. There are two types of problems about such seekers. One which I call as – “the left-hand side problem” of the Ida Nadi, where the people are very emotional, subdued, who bear all the oppressions of others on themselves. They say, “We are unworthy of this great position, Mother. How can we get Self-realization? We are sinners. How can we be, … that higher evolved souls, when we have sinned, when we have done wrong?” This is one type. The another is the one who uses his rationality, and, he thinks, “How can it be possible? How can we get realization?” So many of them cannot believe that there could be a phenomena within us, which works out Self-realization. They do not even understand that God is compassion, He is love. I wonder if such people of this category also really believe in God, in His all-powerful nature. They may have a photograph in their houses. If He is compassion, if He is love, then He is not going to allow His own Read More …

Knots On The Three Channels Caxton Hall, London (England)

Author2 Comments

“Knots on the Three Channels,” public programme, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 2 October 1978. [The Principle] of Brahma is there, is the principle of that pulsating part, that power within us, which we have to feel, and which pulsates in everything.  It happens with Sahaja Yoga, no doubt, that the Kundalini rises, but that is not the end of it, because [the] human being is the instrument in which this light is manifested. But once it is manifested it is not necessary that it would be all the time burning properly. There is a possibility, mostly it is a possibility, that the light can go out. If a wind upside is against it, then it can go out. It can also subside a little bit. It may come out it may flicker, it may dwindle a little bit. Because human beings, as they are, they have got into three complications.  As soon as they become human beings these three complications start in them. And because of three, these three complications, one has to know that if you have to get out of that you have to break certain knots — they are called as granthis in the Sanskrit language — which are giving you this falsehood — is the vitathat (वितथता —falsehood). Falsehood that we think that, “In this world, after all everything is science, and everything is what we see and everything beyond…” And all those sorts of things are really false because, unless and until you rise into Read More …

As I was telling just now Gaby (unclear) that today most of us are here realized people and our daily people who come down and who have known a lot of Kundalini, have learnt a lot, perhaps I do not know if you realize how much you have matured, how much you really know, such a lot about Kundalini, about human beings, the chakras, about catches, and about the divine Power that is all-pervading and so subtle.

The Principle of Brahma Caxton Hall, London (England)

The Principle of Brahma, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 11 September 1978. Today I want to tell you about something, perhaps I have never touched that point before. Or I have not talked about it, that elaborately. It is about The Principle of Brahma: What is the principle of Brahma? How does It exist? How is It born? How does It manifest? And how, It is detached and also attached. The Principle of Brahma is different from Brahma Itself, in description. Like the principles that I follow, is different from what I am. It’s a very subtle subject and requires real meditative attention. So, all criticism of your minds, please put them off, as you have put off your shoes. Have you put off your shoes all of you? Please. And just listen with little, little subtler attention to Me. Can you come forward! You all can come forward so that those who will be coming later can come later on. Come along forward! I think better is to come forward, because we have no mic here. It’s better to come forward here. As the principles on which you are based are different from what you are, in the same way, the Principle of Brahma is different from the Brahma Itself, but is a Brahma and is contained in the Brahma. But the Brahma itself is sustained by the Principle. In dimension, you may say that Brahma is wider, larger and, you can call it even, deeper – but the subtler Read More …

“Kundalini”. Caxton Hall, London (UK), 10 July 1978. Those who have come for the first time, please come forward, it will be better. Those who have come for the first time, please. Just, no, you can sit on the first and second row so we’ll know that. Because those who have come earlier…Please come! There’s nothing to be afraid of. Makes no difference. Come along. …goes to, other people. And we have to realise one thing: that a human being is born in a different time (?) than an animal. A human being has a sense of beauty. A human being knows what is repulsive, what is not. A fragrance that we call as beautiful, maybe that if a buffalo is passing that way, may not notice it, and he would not mind any kind of filth around. God has made human beings a very special one. Now with our intellect, with our growth, in our understanding of things, the awareness that is developed, of course through our ego, our effort. But still, when human beings reach a certain stage of development they realise that the joy of life is not in matter. They realise it, rationally, not through any experience, but rationally they see [for] themselves, they see around and they find those who are materially equipped are not happy; rationally. But there is something innately built in a human being, that he tries to think beyond. He wants to know beyond. He doesn’t feel satisfied with himself. You Read More …

What happens after Self-realisation? Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“What happens after Self-realisation?”, Public Programme, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 26 June 1978. The question is: what happens actually after Self-realisation, to us? Of course, I mean, you feel thoughtlessly aware, you feel collective consciousness, you can feel the kundalini of others, you can raise the kundalini, you can feel the chakras. This is all you know. But actually, what happens in the deeper way to a human being, has to be seen. So, first of all, let us know what are we, as we are, before Realisation, so we will know what happens to us after Realisation. Now the subject is very subtle and I would like you to listen to it in a very, very great concentration. Today I am not going to talk about abstract things but absolutely about something that is very much matter of fact. A human being is created out of evolution – you know that very well – that he is created out of evolution. And there is a big controversy going on. They don’t understand these things, that’s why there’s a controversy. But he is developed in seven stages and that is why it is said that: seven days He took to create this world. We can say the whole Universe took about seven stages. But, as you understand, a seed has got all microscopic seeds in it, to manifest all the parts of a tree. In the same way human beings were created. And as the seed is again recreated in Read More …

The Difference Between East & West Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

The Difference Between East & West, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 19 June 1978. The problem of our Western society is this…. You see, the Eastern society has its own problems and Western society has its own problems. Basically they are two different problems, absolutely two different problems, and to discuss about the problems of the East will be of no use to you. For example, in the [Bhagavad] Gita, Shri Krishna has said that, “Yoga Kshema Vahamyaham.” “I look after your yoga,” means the union with God. ‘Vahamyaham’ means: I carry that, carry that process or I’m the person who has to do that process. And ‘kshema’ , kshema means the well-being, “I look after the well-being”. But in India, people absolutely believe that God looks after our salvation. I mean they do believe, I mean that’s the faith they have. Which is a very big advantage, they don’t believe that they can do anything about it. Most of them, I mean except for a very few westernised, otherwise normally they think that is only God who is going to do it for them. In whatever way possible. He might send an Avatar, or an incarnation, or somebody who will redeem us. They don’t believe that they can do anything about it, and they are right, they are very right, absolutely that’s the correct attitude about things that, Yoga cannot be managed by – ‘yoga’ means the union – by anyone but for the grace of God. That is no Read More …

Rationalism, Emotionalism And Wisdom Caxton Hall, London (England)

Author1 Comment

“Rationalism, Emotionalism And Wisdom”, Caxton Hall, London, 12 June 1978. …Then what can rationality do? There must be some reason for having rationality in us [and] why God has given us rationality. He doesn’t waste his diamonds like that! Rationality gives us the sense to understand that we cannot reach there through rationality. Because unless and until this thing happens to you, you are not going to believe in it. You are not going to believe in it that, this rationality, on which we depend, which is our support, which is we; we all the time think that our identification is complete with rationality. And we are very rational and we are proud of our rationality also. So then, you reach a point, through rationality, where you understand that this is not the horse which will be useful any further. This is the use of rationality! One way it takes you to that culminating point where you think it is to be discarded or cannot be depended upon. On the other side rationality gives you a view which can be related later on, when you get the experience. You start understanding why rationality was failing you. So, it’s a teacher on a negative way. It’s a teacher on a negative way. But it is essential because man was given freedom and he started using his freedom, he started using his rationality. When he reaches that point then he starts depending on his wisdom. And wisdom is the balance between his Read More …

Satya Yuga: The Unconscious Caxton Hall, London (England)

Transcript Of Talk Satya Yuga: The Unconscious1978-0408 Caxton Hall, London Shri Mataji: May God Bless You All!  You all can see Me, is it? Or should I stand up? Today is a great day, a very, very great day. I had said about this [UNCLEAR six years]  back (?or so).  That first day [UNCLEAR,  the ninth night]  in this year will start the  manifestation of the new age. Of course, the new age has come  long time back,  but the manifestation could  not work out that much,  [UNCLEAR] start its manifestation.  But I find that  attitude of human beings  towards anything divine working is  little straight.  It had  been very straight.   If it was not, they never recognised Christ. They never recognised Rama. They never recognised Krishna. In the same way, they (?)  never recognise also Satya Yuga, this  new age. When these people came, nobody bothered. Those who bothered were only bothered as to see how they kill or torture them. Nobody could see through their principles, through their lives,  their powers that there is something great in these incarnations, and we must make use of it.  The reason is, man has  his old ways of (?terminology).  For example, a man  go through  a garden. The first thing is  (?to find out) who has made this garden. Who is the one  who has planned it. Then he will find out who is the person who has been the gardener. Then he finds out from where the water is coming. Read More …

We Are All Seeking Part 2 Caxton Hall, Longford (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

1978-03-20 We Are All Seeking London Source So, the Swadisthan chakra which is placed second now is the one which has got six petals and this is the one that controls the pelvic plexus-the aortic plexus within us. That also has got six sub-plexuses. Now we have to know that these are subtle centres placed in our spinal cord and the gross centres are outside. Now this is something one must understand, if you have to understand about Kundalini, that these centres are placed outside of gross plexuses which doctors know. But they are actually subtle centres inside the spinal cord. Beyond that is another centre which you can see, that’s called as Manipura chakra – I told you the centre of the navel chakra-which has got ten petals, as I have told you, that there have been ten gurus also. And around that is the Void, is the gap. And this gap has to be filled. Now what happens when you place your hands towards me? Like this, if you could it would be nice. All of you should place your hands so it works out simultaneously. See this power, this divine Power which is an integrated power which is all powers put together, starts flowing into your being through your fingers. These fingers, five fingers, this portion and this portion as you will see from the chart we have given you are responsible for sucking that divinity within yourself. It works like an [UNCLEAR entity], it goes inside Read More …

We are all seeking Caxton Hall, London (England)

Public program, “We are all seeking”, Caxton Hall, London, 20 March 1978. Gregoire has said so many things that I really don’t know what to say after that. Really dumbfounded. I know it’s a fact and you have to face it, though I’m bashful about it. You were all seeking, and I think, from the time I remember, I haven’t met anyone who was not seeking. They may be seeking in money, in power. But so many of them were really seeking something beyond. In the West, I always felt all the great sages of the old and the ancient times who were seeking God, are born. I could see, the way you have  abhorred materialism; the way you have achieved a kind of a understanding about life, is a new thing. At the time of Christ, it was not possible to see such people except for some lepers and some sickly people. There was nobody else who was willing to look at Him. Times have changed no doubt. But, in this seeking, many people have committed lots of mistakes. Mistakes can be forgiven always. They should be rectified. I’ve been born with this. I knew I had to do this and I knew I had to be in London one day. All the people who are of a very high, evolved status, I can say, who do not live in the humdrum of life, who do not roam about as gurus and earn money, who do not claim to Read More …

God and Creation Caxton Hall, London (England)

Author1 Comment

God and Creation, Caxton Hall, London 1977-11-28 As Gavin has already explained to you that today’s subject is really a very vast subject and one has to pay a concentrated attention to understand the subject. And as he has told you already that it is my subjective knowledge which can be yours also. And you have to verify it only through your vibratory awareness. Because that’s the only awareness that can give you absolute results. Human awareness as I have told you is still incomplete, unless and until you get the vibratory awareness through self-realization in which the Self starts speaking to you, you cannot verify the truth. So that is one of the most essential aspects of subjective knowledge is. Anybody says anything need not believe into it at all. And as I have told you also you don’t have to believe into what I say. But it is not to be denied also because as I told you this is a very subtle subject and one has to be little understanding. Not accepting maybe with some people. But it doesn’t matter. Even if you accept it for a short time, if you don’t like you can give it up later. But don’t be sort of against it. I have spoken on the subject in India in my 8 lectures and here I have to give one lecture. So it’s an ordeal for you. For me it’s a pleasure. I hope you enjoy it. At the very outset, we Read More …

The history of Tantrism Caxton Hall, London (England)

Author1 Comment

Tantrism, public program, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 21 November 1977. My dear seekers,I’m thankful to Gavin Brown that he has been able to sum up some of the things I’ve said before and I don’t have to go into all the details of what I told you last time. Some of you have come for the first time here. [Tape interrupted].As he said, Tantra means the technique, it’s a technique. And Yantra, in Sanskrit language, means the mechanism. So, the technique of the mechanism.Now what is this mechanism we are talking about? Is there any mechanism outside or inside of us? Or is it worked through some subtle method? All these questions should come to our mind if you are seeking and if you are seeker. But I think that in the West people though are very much developed materially, they have sorted out many material questions and problems, they are very well equipped, but as far as the spiritual life is concerned, still, they are very naive. Though they had such a great personality like Christ to follow, and what a model it was! But maybe because of an organized religion perhaps, it was not possible for people who were seeking truly to penetrate into it through meditative methods.So, this Tantra or the technique which works out our Self-realization is to be known, to be understood fully. And the Yantra that works out, you have already got. I’m thankful to Patrick who has made a beautiful sketch of that Read More …
