Bring your attention beyond the mind Shih Chien Hall, Taipei (Taiwan)
Public program, Taipei, Taiwan 06-03-1996 [1:03:50] I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, you have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot transform it. But we have to feel the truth on our central nervous system. That means ‘Bodh’, in Sanskrit, from where the word ‘Buddha’ has come. Or ‘Vida’, means, from where the ‘Vedas’ have come, means, to feel it on your central nervous system. It is not just a mental feat, or a mental understanding about truth. Because you should not shock when I say that mind is a myth. By our reactions outside, through our conditioning, and our ego, we have made this mind. Which is nothing but bubbles of thoughts. Brain is the [light]. Now when we are at a mental level, we can create any ideas according to our conditioning or our ego. Like Hitler felt that he has to destroy all the Jews. And he did it. So this mind goes either to the right or to the left. That means it goes to the future or to your past. All the thoughts come to us from our future or the past. One thought rises, it falls down, another thought rises and falls down. And we are jumping on the cusp of these thoughts. But we are not in the present. And the present is the reality. In China, we had Laotse, who talked of nothing but Sahaja Yoga. Also, in Japan, Read More …

Sahaja Yoga: Actualization of Reality Shih Chien Hall, Taipei (Taiwan)
1994-0420 Public Program, Taipei Taiwan [Full speech – 45:00 – 2:09:11] Tell them, when I am lecturing don’t take photographs, will be better, see when I am lecturing they should not take photograph, otherwise I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, you have to know that truth is what it is; you cannot change it; you cannot conceptualize it; and unfortunately at human level with human awareness you cannot know it. Now, whatever I am going to tell you today here you should not follow it blind folded. We have had lots of problems with blind faith but if it is proved so treat it like a hypothesis and if it is proved then you have to accept it as honest people. Because it is for your benevolence, benevolence of your family, benevolence of your country and benevolence of the whole world. Most of the problem if you face come from human beings in this world. We create the problems and these problems unfortunately come from the subtle centre from these chakras. If these centres are in jeopardy then you have physical problems, emotion problems, spiritual problems and collectively then you have political, economic and other problems. So we have to know what is the truth, the truth is that you are not this body, mind, your emotions, your intelligence but you are the pure spirit. You see these beautiful flowers and you don’t know this is a miracle. We take all living work for Read More …

Blind faith doesn’t lead you to enlightenment Chientan Youth Activity Center, Taipei (Taiwan)
1990-1110 Public Program in Taipei I bow to all the seekers of truth. At a very outset, I have to say that truth is what it is. We cannot organize it ,and we cannot conceptualize it with our human awareness. Now whatever they have told you, whatever I’m going to tell you, you have to listen to it with an open mind of a scientist, you should not believe me blindly. Blind faith doesn’t lead you to enlightenment, but you please keep your mind open and treat whatever I’m saying or they’re saying as hypothesis, and then if it is proved, then as honest people, you have to accept it. The truth is very simple. The first thing is the fundamental that you are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not this intellect or this conditioning or ego, but you are pure spirit. And the second truth is that there is an all pervading power of God’s love which does all living work. For example, these flowers so beautiful here have come out of one little seed. We do not even think how it has happened. All these living work is done by this all pervading subtle power. So when you become the spirit, you can feel this all pervading power as cool breeze on your fingertips. Whatever you may believe, whatever you may think, a time will come when you will feel the emptiness within yourself. Because in the evolutional process, now you have become Read More …
