What is the goal of your life? United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States)

Public Program at United Nations Meeting, New York (USA). 4 October 1993. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot change it. We cannot transform it. We cannot conceptualize it. Truth is to be felt as you can feel hot and cold. Whatever we have had so far through our evolutionary process, at this human awareness, we have known it on our central nervous system. So, we have to know the truth on our central nervous system. Otherwise, it is either emotional idea or a mental idea, which has limitations. We think of science as if we have achieved a lot. In one area we might say we have, in the sense, we have explored many things about matter. We have knowledge about the outside world quite a lot, but we don’t know ourselves at all. We haven’t got the knowledge of inner being. So much of science has created such a big civilization around, but it does not know its own roots. This is the reason why today we find that there is no solution for many things which we are facing. We have big organizations; we have conferences, arguments, discussions – everything, at mental level. But the whole thing is not result oriented. If you see the human problems, we cannot say why are we here. What’s the purpose of our life? That’s why many people try to find their identity, which Read More …

Conference and workshop at UN United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States)

Public Program and Workshop. United Nations, New York (USA), 6 June 1990. I bow to you all, for you are the seekers of truth. When we talk of trutht we must understand at the very outset that Truth is what it is. We cannot mould it with our human awareness, we cannot organize it and we cannot change it at all. So, what is the truth? The truth is that we are not this body, this intellect, these emotions, this ego, the conditionings, but we are the Spirit. And the second truth is that there is a subtle All-pervading divine Power which is doing all the living work. For example, we see the flowers and we take them for granted. Mohamed Saab [unsure] has said that, “If you just watch your eyes, you’d be surprised what a camera it is. All living things we take for granted and we do not inquire as to how these things are worked out and how all these living processes are going on around. Now we have supposedly come from the amoeba stage to this stage. How have we come? We did not do anything and how is it we have become human beings and why have we become human beings? When I first saw the mandate of the United Nations, when my husband was elected, I was very happy that what it was saying was exactly what we have to do, is to become collective in a way, to have collective benevolence. But Read More …

You must aim at transforming yourself United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States)

Public Program By Invitation United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States), 26-07-1988 I bow to all the seekers of truth.  When we talk of truth we have to understand that’s not a mental projection. It’s neither your imagination nor your reading. It is what it is. We cannot change it. We cannot organize it. And we cannot conceptualize it. In our freedom, we have to choose the truth. But at human awareness, it’s not possible to know the truth. You have to rise higher than this human stage. As your U.N. is for the benevolence, for the benevolence, and if you have to achieve the benevolence of the world, we have to know one thing that we have to have the transformation of human beings. Unless and until we transform them as they are, you can unite them but you cannot integrate them. To integrate them you have to raise them to a new awareness of collective consciousness, where you become collectively conscious. Again I say you become. This is not that you can just certify yourself as something very aware people or as born again or twice-born or something like that. You cannot also certify yourself that we have known the truth. One has to be honest. Honest in the seeking of the truth. With that honesty only we can find out that truth has to be understood, only when you have Self-Realization. Now what is Self-Realization is to be understood. Whatever I tell you today you should Read More …

The spiritual power which surrounds us United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States)

Public Program by Invitation, United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States) Gregoire: What I would like to say to you perhaps is that Shri Mataji is already with us. I wouldn’t like to talk for too long but the major difference to put it in a nutshell is that because we are in a time where so many people are seeking and because there is a demand for the keys to the frontier of new conscious many people have come supplying all kind of answers. Now as people have refined their language, you’ll see that more or less all use the same key words – joy, peace, love, awareness, spontaneity, creativity so on and so forth. So that its difficult if you have a lecturer who is clever only on the basis of the language to make the difference between someone who can effectively deliver something and someone who is just precisely only giving a lecture. Now the key to Sahaja Yoga is experience. I mean it is certainly the tradition that Shri Mataji will talk to us and will explain us some aspects of Sahaja Yoga, the system that she has discovered. It’s not something new, it’s something totally ancient, but she has discovered how to reveal it to us in the modern world. She will explain some of it, so that the questions in our brains get reasonably satisfied otherwise we are keeping guessing and raising questions. However the cardinal importance of a program such as the Read More …
