First Know thyself Porchester Hall, London (England)

Public Program Day 2, Porchester Hall, London (UK), 1 August 1989. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to understand that truth is what it is. We cannot conceptualize it. We cannot organize it. And we cannot use it for our own purposes. Moreover, with the blinkers on both the sides like a horse, with all our conditionings, we cannot find the truth. We have to be free people. We have to be open minded people, like scientists, to see for ourselves what is the truth. If somebody preaches something, professes something, says something, is not to be accepted blindfolded. As I told you yesterday, that the essence of all the religions is to find the eternal and to treat the transitory in its own understanding and in its own limitations. That’s why we have lost our balance. If we are really the people who want to know the truth, we have to know that at human awareness we cannot know it. It becomes a concept. You have to have the spiritual awareness, but spiritual awareness is a state of your being, where you become the spirit. Again the word I’ll say – “become.” It’s not artificially certifying somebody that now you have become a Hindu or a Christian or a Muslim, you become anything. Because you may be a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, anything, you can commit any sin. You can do anything that is wrong. Nothing from inside is going to stop Read More …

Spiritual music cleanse the limbic area Porchester Hall, London (England)

Public program, Porchester hall, England, 1989-31-07 [Talk starts at 10:52] I bow to all the seekers of truth. Just now you were listening to a folk song which was written by a great saint called Nama Deva about 1200 century. This great poet has written in this poem about asking the Mother for the yoga, is the union with the Divine power. In many ways he has promised that he will give up all the bad relationships he has had with greed, lust, with hatred and with all other – these destroying qualities which cling to human beings and make him subservient. It is very beautifully written but the last one is so beautiful that he says that, “I would like to have the complete ‘bodha’”. Now this ‘bodha’ word is coming as you have heard about Buddha. Bodha. ‘Bodh’ means that you have to feel this All-pervading power on your central nervous system. It is not just a mental protection. It is not a certificate. It is not following any cult or sect or religion outwardly. But something happening on your central nervous system is bodha. And from there, there is another word which we call as ‘vidha’ which means- from where Veda has come. Veda means also to know your central nervous system. So, it is not just a mental projection that, “I believe in it, I believe in that; I believe”. But who are you? First of all, find out who you are. What are you believing? Read More …

You have To Find Your Self Porchester Hall, London (England)

Public Program, Porchester Hall, London (UK), 16 November 1987. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. When we are seeking the Truth we have to know we have to be honest about it. Because it is benevolent for us, not for others. We are seeking the Truth for ourselves, not for others. The another thing we have to remember, very humbly, that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot organise it, we cannot manoeuvre it. It is what has been and will be. And what is the Truth? The truth is that you are the Spirit. You are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not this ego, and you are not this conditioning. You are the Spirit. But so far you have been a human being. But to be human being itself is a very great thing. Is the greatest thing to be a human being.Perhaps we have not realised the value of our life because we do not know what we are. The way we waste our time, waste our energies, waste our attention on things, which are senseless, because we still have to understand the greatness of our being. Human beings are made with such care, so beautifully, such delicate working of the Divine from amoeba to this stage passing through various stages, such a beautiful thing has been created as a human being. But first, we must have this attention to our Self that there must be something. Read More …

The tradition of Seeking Porchester Hall, London (England)

Public Program. Porchester Hall, London (UK), 10 April 1984. I bow to all the seekers of truth. So very happy to see so many Sahaja Yogis as well as so many seekers today here to know about themselves. First of all we have to realize that when we use the word “I”, when we say “I like it, I want it”, we do not know this “I” at all. This “I” is unknown to us .What part of us likes it, what part of us dislikes it and what part of us is the reality? We know what we can see with our eyes, with these human eyes, with the human awareness that is available to us. We can at least as human being have a conception, have an idea that there has to be something more to this life. It’s not that we are just to be born on this earth, worry about material things of life and then die worrying about them again. That’s not the life we are here. We are human beings specially created, delicately, beautifully looked after, for what purpose? Why are we here? We have to understand that there has to be some higher purpose of our life. But it’s definite that we have not yet felt it and so many of you have felt it too. Seeker is that special category as I have told you who is aware that you have to seek something more than material well-being or the power or Read More …

The Attitude Has To Be Earnest Porchester Hall, London (England)

Public Program. Porchester Hall, London (UK), 13 June 1983. Shri Mataji: Is it for the loudspeaker? Yes. We can wait for some time more to organize. It is so unfortunate that it was not published in the newspaper properly, that day – it’s very unfortunate. Yogi: Excuse me Mother, I think to get this microphone a little closer to you. Shri Mataji: Eh? Yogi: Do You want to get this a little closer to You? Shri Mataji: [The microphone] I’ll have it in My hand. Yogi: You’ll take this in Your hand? Shri Mataji: Yes. [Yogi: Okay.] Then that won’t slip out, you know. Yogi: Ah, okay. That’s ok, this. This is the one… Shri Mataji: When we say in the newspaper or in an advertisement that you come to such and such hall for your Self-realization, I don’t know what people think about it. Perhaps they think that it is another hocus-pocus or some sort of a cult or some money-making proposition. But there are some who may not think that way, but they want to have their Self-realization and they come here. But one must understand that the attitude we should have towards our Self has to be really very earnest. To raise your Kundalini is not so difficult and to give you so-called realization also not difficult, in the sense that you can feel the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost coming out of the fontanel bone area, you can get your baptism. But I call it Read More …
