Shri Mataji: [MARATHI – STOP?] I’m happy you’re enjoying this music and they want to give you, render some more because I think, Philip has already explained, Interpreter: [GERMAN] Shri Mataji: so I don’t have to talk too much then. Interpreter: [GERMAN] Shri Mataji: This Jogwa they are singing, is a song written about 16th century by a poet called Namadeva Interpreter: [GERMAN] Shri Mataji: and he was a tailor and he went to see another saint, who was a potter Interpreter: [GERMAN] Shri Mataji: So when he saw the potter, he just stood silent and he said, in Marathi language it is, ‘That I came to see the Formless,’ that is the vibrations, ‘I came to see the vibrations but here, I find vibrations in Form.” [INTERPRETER – GERMAN] Shri Mataji: So, what an appreciation of another saint; Only a saint can do that, real saint.

Public Program Munich (Germany)
1989-0719 Public Program Talk Germany. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to understand that truth is what it is. We cannot organise it. We cannot conceptualise it. It is what it is. So one has to open the mind like a scientist to see for yourself what is the truth. Now whatever I am telling you, you may not believe into. 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. St Thomas who was a disciple of Christ on his way to India, went to Egypt and there he put lots of treaties in a big jar hidden near a mountain. 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. Only people who want to make money out of you or want to make you slaves, tell you that you are sinners and you’ll go to hell and they’ll frighten you so that you can pay them well. One has to get Read More …
How ego creates a problem between us and the truth? Munich (Germany)
Public Program Day 2, Munich, Germany, 12 July 1988 (Yogi talks in German)I bow to all the seekers of truth.As I told you yesterday, that truth is what it is and we have to keep our mind open as scientists to see what is the truth. We cannot organize the truth, and we cannot change the truth, and we cannot ourselves create the truth. So what we can do is to know the truth, to become the truth, and to enjoy the truth.It’s very abstract if I talk of truth. But how do we know truth normally? Is through our sense organs. Like, you see all these flowers, and you see through your eyes these are flowers, and you know it is the flowers. Anything that you hear, all of you hear the same thing, and you know that’s what is the truth what you are hearing.Now, you can feel something hot or cold with your fingertips. And whatever you can feel with your fingertips is the truth that you know. But in darkness, if you are holding the snake in your hand and somebody says, “You are holding the snake,” you can always say that “No, I believe it’s a rope, it’s not the snake.”So, to know that, you have to have the light.In human evolution, we have known many more things than the animals have known. For example, if you take a dog or a horse through a dirty lane, he won’t feel the filth, he won’t have Read More …
Imbalances within us Munich (Germany)
Public Program Day 1 (Sahaja Yogi talks in German) I bow to all the seekers of truth. It is important for all of us to know that we do not know absolute truth. One person says something, another person says something, and we don’t know where to look. We don’t know whom to believe and whom to understand. Also, whatever I’m telling you, you need not take Me for granted. But keep your minds open, as scientists. In case what I say is proved, then you have to accept it as law, not because I say this is so, this is so. Now, you have heard about the chakras that are within us and the centers that govern us. Now, this knowledge is the knowledge of the roots. This instrument has come out of the knowledge of the tree. But there is another instrument within us about which you have already heard. Then one may ask: If there is such an instrument within us, why do we commit mistakes, why do we have collective mistakes also? And why it is that we all do not have understand absolute truth? And why there are so many different ideas and theories in this world? And why do we have this instrument within all of us? But this instrument, which is within us, is not connected to the mains. That’s why it is not working out. It has to be connected to the mains. And to connect it to the mains is possible Read More …
Shri Mahakali Puja: The Culture Of The Spirit Munich, Blutenburg Castle (Germany)
Shri Mahakali Puja. Blutenburg, Munich (Germany), 16 October 1987. I was told that we have a very beautiful place for this puja and I was amazed how everything is working out so beautifully for all of you. You are all very lucky people I must say. Moreover that this place was called as the “fort of flowers” and now it was called as a “fort of blood”, bloody fort. But I think with all these flowers it should become the “fort of flowers” again. It’s a very, very beautiful place you have come to. The vibrations are also very good here. I’ve been always wondering why Germany was called as Germany. Germ, germ means sprouting. Any germ of anything means the sprouting of it. Germinate means to sprout. The sprouting of Sahaja Yoga as I’ve told you many a times before once taken by Germans will be reaching its epitome, its highest point. We have had lots of ups and downs, doesn’t matter. It’s a difficult place and now we have started really the germination in a proper way. Yesterday I saw the whole sky was filled with color and light. As you know that vibrations have light. It’s very light flickering, very small light, each particle of vibration has and you can see that. But when there are too many, then they can be caught up by your cameras. But yesterday I think the clouds got vibrated. And is a very great thing to get the clouds vibrated. If Read More …
The time has come for humanity to know the truth Munich (Germany)
Public Program, Germany, Munich, 1987-10-16 I bow to all the seekers of truth. It is important for us to understand that the time has come for humanity to know the truth. But truth cannot be known by human efforts nor can it be known if you pay for it, nor can it be a concept, an idea. Truth is what it is. And one has to humble down to see the truth itself. As you can see me clearly standing here and also you can also feel me and hear me in the same way you should be able to feel truth on your central nervous system. At the very outset I have said that you cannot pay for finding out the truth. There are many people in the market who are selling the truth and people are doing this shopping. I have t tell you that I am not for sale. I have come here to give you the key to your truth. Which is I think for me is very important. There is no obligation involved. Now when we come face to face with it, let us understand that human awareness has not reached its absolute point. That is why there is so much of confusion. Some people say this theory is good, that philosophy is good, this is good that is bad. But what we have found so far that everything seems to be in confusion. There is no method, no system by which you can say Read More …
Shri Kartikeya Puja: Woman Is A Woman Munich (Germany)
Shri Kartikeya Puja. Grosshartpenning, Munich (Germany), 13 July 1986. I’m sorry for being late. I did not know that this program is in a beautiful place like this. And here you see a beautiful painting of Michelangelo expressing the desire of the Divine, your Father, to save you, to help you out and its working out.In Germany we have had very great aggressive happenings. And that brought forth a devastating effect on the Western Life, all over. The value systems were broken, the idea of Dharma was disturbed, women started behaving like men and so many people died. Very young people died, very, very young. All their desires were not fulfilled, all their life gave them nothing but war. That was a kind of a heat wave that came, destroying all the subtler things. When the nature gets its respite, or is angry, it destroys only gross things but when human beings start destroying, they destroy even the subtler things like your value system, your character, your chastity, your innocence, your forbearance.So now the war is on the subtler level. We have to now understand that all these things have brought such a shattering effect in the West, on the Western personality. So the first effort one has to do is to repair it, to put it straight, make it stand on its own legs. Because people lost their personality, their tradition, they had no moorings, no roots. And they started moving towards anything that was brought in as some Read More …
What happens if our human awareness moves to the left or to the right? Munich, Deutsches Museum (Germany)
Public Porgram, day 2, Munich, Germany, 12-07-1986 I bow to all the seekers of Truth. Yesterday, I told you that Truth is to be discovered on your Central Nervous system through the evolutionary process not through some imaginary mental projections and to believe into something because somebody is telling you in a very convincing manner. Even, you have not to believe Me, what I tell you. As I said yesterday, you have to treat it like a hypothesis and with an open mind of a scientist to discover the Truth yourself. It is your lookout that you have to be convinced; I am not here to convince you or to persuade you to believe into something because even if you believe in Me, believe in what I say, if you do not get the experience of Self-realization, it is of no value. Now today, as I told you yesterday, how the human awareness, which has got it’s roots in the brain, starts growing downward and takes us to our destruction in every center and unless and until we get the ascent, we, our human awareness can never take us to that place where we say that this is the Self, the Spirit. So, every human effort to experience new things or to try new things is nothing but amounts to a ego trip is not reality. Now today, I would like to tell you what happens if our human awareness moves to the left or to the right. Now in Read More …
Yoga – a living process Munich, Deutsches Museum (Germany)
1986-07-11 Yoga – a living process, Munich, Germany I bow to all the seekers of truth. The truth is what you know on your central nervous system. I see you all here, I see your faces and I know you are here. That’s the truth. I see the red colour with My own eyes, I see the another colour there [Shri Mataji points at an object in the hall] with My own eyes and I know on My central nervous system what is the truth. In the same way, you have to know the truth on your central nervous system. It should not be some imaginary thing; it should not be some sort of a concept. It should not be any theories put forward. It cannot be some sort of a experience as they call it. But it should be known through your central nervous system, and you should know all about it. If Self Realization or yoga has to work out, it has to be as clear as sunshine. It should not be just something that will please your ego or pamper your superego. You cannot pay for it. It’s not commercial, cannot be. It is very absurd that you expect it to be commercial. How much money do you pay to call it red when it is red? It is as absurd as that. And then you cannot put in any effort for it because it is spontaneous. It is a living process. How much will you pay Read More …
Habit comes to you from matter Munich, Deutsches Museum (Germany)
Second Public Program, Munich (Germany), 9 May 1985. I’m sorry for being late today because I’ve just seen some other people. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Now the truth is that we are the Spirit. The Spirit resides in the heart and is the witness of what we do. It does not interfere with our everyday activity, and it is like a flicker of light, but it does not shine in the attention. It is the reflection of the absolute in our heart. And the Kundalini, which I described to you yesterday, which is the pure desire of ascent, is the reflection of the Divine desire within us. And this desire is to be one with the Spirit. In our course of life, we pass through many desires. We seek protection, we seek food at the primitive stage. As we grow, we seek possession and wealth, we seek power. But ultimately we reach a point where we discover that it was a joyless pursuit, because Spirit is the source of joy, which is eternal emitting joy. If somehow it comes into our attention, we can feel the joy on our central nervous system. Now we have to know one thing about ourselves in modern times: that we have passed through various stages of seeking before. We have done all kinds of seekings before. And now the time has come for us to get the reward of our seeking. There is no more seeking needed. We must learn Read More …
This is the Knowledge of the Roots Munich, Deutsches Museum (Germany)
First Public Program. Deutsches Museum, Munich (Germany), 8 May 1985. I bow to all the seekers of truth. But the seekers of truth have to know the truth, at least they should know what they have to seek. It is to be understood that the seeking has to be in the tradition of the seeking. Like when electricity was discovered, it took years together for people to find it out, and a scientist had to go from one to another – the experience of one, the indications of one, and the futuristic ideas of the one were picked up and he started on that tradition, on that basis his own evolution as far as the electrical knowledge is concerned. In the same way we must understand that there have been people who have been seeking for ages. As in the West, you have grown so much outward, like the tree which has grown outside, there have been people in India, they have been going to the roots of this tree. So this is the knowledge of the roots. If the tree grows too much and the roots do not reach its source, then we are waiting for a shock of complete destruction. So today on such an important date, of the anniversary of the end of the War II, I think it is important for us to go to find out what are our roots. Any person who is aware in these modern times, who is intelligent, can see that Read More …
Shri Mahalakshmi Puja: She connects you to God Munich (Germany)
Shri Mahalakshmi Puja. Munich (Germany), 8 September 1984 Today is a great day of Mahalakshmi Puja. Mahalakshmi is an incarnation of the Lakshmi, the power of Vishnu. She only incarnated. This Mahalakshmi principle is born out of the Lakshmi, who is the power of Sri Vishnu. When in a human being the desire to rise higher comes in, the Lakshmi principle becomes the Mahalakshmi principle. Like in the West, we can say, people have affluence of Lakshmi, so they wanted to rise above that principle and become Mahalakshmi. In the awareness it acts on the matter like aesthetics. People worry more about aesthetics than about possessions. And when they start growing higher and higher in their awareness of seeking, then they find that the attention should be such, that they should pay more importance to the aesthetics of things than to the gross values. Now when this desire becomes evident in human beings, then only Lakshmi incarnates as Mahalakshmi. So, she incarnated as Mahalakshmi when Rama came on this earth, first time. And also, she incarnated as Radha when Shri Krishna came on this earth. And when she came as Mary, it was Mahalakshmi who bore the child that is Lord Jesus Christ. So, the child she bore was the great personality of Mahavishnu. This Mahavishnu tattwa is also represented, or we can say, has an aspect of others which incarnated on this earth as two children of Sita. They incarnated as Mahavira and Buddha, as Hassan and Hussein. Also, Read More …
Whatever we think is truth, may not be the truth Munich (Germany)
Public Program. Munich (Germany), 7 September 1984. I bow to all the seekers of truth. But we must know what is the truth. Whatever we think is truth, may not be the truth. Whatever we know through our mental projection or emotional projection may not be the truth. But if truth has to be known it has to be known through our living evolutionary process. It should be known on our central nervous system. Like in the evolutionary state we have achieved everything and is felt on our central nervous system. Truth is meant only for honest seekers and those who are courageous enough to take up truth upon themselves. As human beings, we have many conditionings and we have lot of ego within us. And when one start talking about truth and people want it exactly be, to be, the way they know it. But truth is not mental observation or understanding, but it is an experience of your being itself, and that is what we all should seek. Now whatever I am going to tell you, or Gregoire has told you about, is the knowledge of the roots. And as scientist you must keep your mind open. And if it is proved, then you have to accept the truth. But you should not just deny it, because so far you have not known it. Now when we move with this idea we have to know that the West had such a development. All over, people are affluent, and Read More …
