Actually we are all seeking the truth. So many of us, but so far, so many couldn’t find and they are lost. But what is the truth? What is the truth about yourself? The truth is that you are not this body, you are not these emotions but what are you? You are the spirit.

My salutations to all who are seeking the truth, and also to seekers who have already found the truth. In Delhi sahaja Yoga has spread so elaborately.

Despite being [self-realized], people go up and down in Sahaja yoga. It’s not that once people get self-realization then they don’t have to do anything.

If you are sincere then once the kundalini rises in you, you have a very beautiful experience and you go into thoughtless awareness very quickly. […]

At the very outset one has to know what is the Truth, what are we seeking. It’s quite clear that we do not know that.

And that has been happening – I’m sorry to say – in every country that people are just trying to mislead all the seekers who are truthful, […]
