For your information, Shri Mataji’s schedule is busy, 12 months and 24 hours. Not only India, but in over 75 countries Shri Mataji’s work keeps happening continuously. From this busy schedule, Shri Mataji has taken out time for us Delhi people. So, I request all of you to take advantage of the golden opportunity. I request Honorable Shri Mataji to give all of us who are present here the precious knowledge of Sahaja Yoga. 1-st translation of Shri Mataji’s speech: Shri Mataji:  My salutations to all the seekers of truth. We are searching the truth but we should understand first where this truth is hiding and where exactly we should search for it. You must have noticed that thousands of foreigners from all over the world come here, and when asked the reason for their visit, they say that they have come here in search of truth. “There is no truth in our country, but thinking that there is truth in India, we have come here.” And in search of this truth thousands of people have been coming here for several thousand years. You must have heard in history that several people from China and many other countries came here. And somehow, they knew that the truth is hidden only in this country. And Read More …

1998-1214 Public Program, The Revival of Indian Spirituality Now you are coming from different countries.  I am very happy to see you all.  Here also we have sahaja yogis from different countries who have come.  Lucky that, that this time they are here and you are here. Many people come to India, all the time, from all over the world.  And if you ask them they’d say we are seeking the truth.  So why are you coming to India of all the places?  They say that they have learned that the truth is in India, that we have to find out the truth.  I must say that in our country also we have lots of falsehood and lots of false gurus have come up just to make money, to befool people and to some [UNCLEAR another/or the other] to destroy our relationships.  But I must tell you that India is a very deep country and the knowledge of this country is not easy for a western mind to grab.  Really to begin with because the reason is, the style of seeking knowledge in India is different, absolutely opposite of what you have in the West. First of all, in India, I mean those who are real seekers and those who want to know the reality they are the ones who see one point that this is [UNCLEAR relation] is written in our ancient books, described by great saints as you have also Sufis and all these people there and also Read More …

Public Program Day 2 at Holland Park School. London (England), 6 July 1998. I bow to all the seekers of truth. So many of you have already found out what is the truth, truth about yourself, that you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, this ego, conditionings, but you are the pure Spirit. After realizing that, not knowing but realizing that, when you become the Spirit your attention gets enlightened by the Spirit. And this enlightened attention is so intelligent. And as it is connected with this all-pervading Power, you’ll be amazed that whatever you try to look at, to put your attention to, it just works. It is such a proof that you are one with this All-pervading divine Power. To prove that there is divine Power which is All-pervading, first you have to become the Realized soul, you have to become a person who is enlightened, as they call it Buddha. The word is Bodha; comes from enlightenment. And the one who is enlightened is a very different personality from what that person has been. You become a very powerful, no doubt very powerful; powerful in the sense is the power of love. Is not the power we know of, but is the power of love that acts, that works. And then you are amazed at yourself how you have been able to do so many things which you would never do. And how your personality becomes a very sensible, wise, and also absolutely in balance.

Public Program Day 1 at Royal Albert Hall. London (UK), 7 July 1998. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. These days there are people who are going all over the places to find out the Truth, the enlightenment. And there are so many books available, so many people who talk about enlightenment. And this is only in this special age, which I call as ” the blossom time “, is happening. If they are not seeking the Truth, that means they are not yet evolved as this should have been. But this is a special time that we call as the “Last Judgement” and that time has come. In the Koran it’s called as Kiyama and described very clearly what will happen at this time. All these have been indicated in all the books which are, I would say, mystical or we can call as religious – whatever you may call it – the mystic part of it. They’ve all indicated this time, this time by the end of this century, this should happen. And this has bewildered many people, they are going hither and thither, getting into problems. As it’s very embarrassing what Dr. Derek Lee has told Me. Is a fact that I went to Russia and a scientist came forward and he said that: ” Mother, I have seen your photographs and it says so much because I haven’t seen more than one line showing. ” It is very embarassing, the whole thing was very Read More …

Harbiye Military Museum, Şişli-Istanbul (Turkey) 20.04.1998 I bow to all the seekers of truth. First of all we have to know what is the truth. Truth is that, you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, conditioning but you are the pure spirit. The spirit is the reflexion of God God Almighty in your heart. So you have to seek the spirit which resides in your heart. The spirit is the source of peace, of joy but when you achieve that you get rid of all your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problems.  Especially your country is very much blessed by so many Sufis you have. The word Sufi itself comes from saffa, cleanliness, cleansing.  How will this saffa will express. To begin with, Prophet Mohammed has said that you must pray and surrender yourself to the Divine. By praying you will keep your attention on the Divine seeking. But it doesn’t work out that way. It was human beings have so many weaknesses. They do not know the straight path but they go astrayed. That is why you have to have your ascent to reach the spirit state.  To reach that spirit state, there is within us the power which can give you that great state of spirituality. Already it is existing in all of you. Whatever religion you may follow, it is there. It is a gift from the Divine that you can achieve your ascent which is call as miraj (ascension) in the Quran.  This miraj, Read More …

Types Of Powers through Kundalini Awakening Ramlila Maidan, New Delhi (India)

Public Program [Translation from Hindi to English] My salutations to all the seekers of truth! Firstly, we should know that truth has many interpretations, and many books have been written on this. On religion (“Dharamapurasar”) how many books, how many preaching’s, how many bhajans, how much devotion are there in front of you? Today is the special day of Guru Tegh Bahadur (“one of the ten gurus in Sikh religion”). He also said that you should be devoted to God. By being devoted to God, you can attain your inner balance, inner peace, and all the negativities that are clinging onto us will all be destroyed. But now today’s world is not like that. Nowadays, people in the world are special. On one side there are people who are seekers. They are searching and want to find the truth. And on the other side, they are people who are not afraid of anything. They are not afraid of God Almighty. If you tell them, “If you do wrong things you will go to hell,” they do not believe in such things. It is said that for seven generations people take up this sin; we do not know how much. They go through all types of sorrow and pain. Whatever you tell them, you try to scare them, whatever you tell them, that fear won’t affect them. They have become stone-hearted people. 03.00 Now killing is a big sin. Killing people in this manner, killing small children, is a very big Read More …

1997-06-20 Public Program, Vancouver, Canada I bow to all the seekers of Absolute truth. At the very outset, you have to know that truth is truth. You cannot change it. You cannot transfer it and you cannot describe it. Truth is to be experienced as told by all the saints, all the incarnations. You can not purchase it. You can not pay for it. It’s a funny psychology when people say that we can’t believe you because you don’t take money. Still, I have not been able to understand why such an absurd idea prevails. Now whatever I am going to tell you today, please don’t believe me blindfolded. We have had enough of trouble from blind faith, and this blind faith has led to all kinds of problems, false, cruelties, there is no end to it. So what one has to know that unless until you experience it you are not going to believe it and I tell you because you are seekers. You are true seekers, an ardent seeker. Special people. You will go on seeking till you find the absolute. So it is important that we must now bring a full stop to our seeking and get what we have been seeking and enjoy it. You have already been told about the subtle system that exists within us. Believe me, it is there and it works wonders. It is being kept there for your evolution. This is the last breakthrough of your evolution which you have to Read More …

Public Program, Berkeley (United States), June 18th, 1997 [The talk starts at 35:05]I bow to all the seekers of absolute truth. At the very outset, I have to say that truth is truth. This absolute truth cannot be changed because it is absolute. It cannot be transformed. It cannot be explained because it cannot be described. Truth has to be experienced. It’s an experience. In Sanskrit language, we have a word called Veda It comes from the word ‘vida’. ‘Vida’ means to know on your central nervous system. Like, I can feel this [armchair], In the same way, you must know the truth on your fingertips. ‘Bodh” also, from where the word Buddha has come, is that enlightenment; you have to feel it on your central nervous system. So, this absolute truth is what it was and is and will be. But I would request you not to believe Me because this blind faith has caused so much trouble to us. All the people are fighting all over the world with this blind faith. They believe in this and they believe in that, believe in that. This kind of faith is not going to help us. We have to feel it ourselves and experience it. Unless and until you experience, please don’t have faith in me or in Sahaja Yoga. Very important it is to understand that this absolute truth is beyond your mind. We think no end of our mind, and all those who came from my country as Read More …

Absolute truth cannot be changed, cannot be described, cannot be transferred. It is, it will be and it was. So whatever I am going to tell you today, you need not accept it with blind faith. This blind faith has done so much trouble in this world. People are fighting in the name of religion, in the name of God, as if all of them are blind and don’t know what to [do]. So the absolute truth, whatever I tell you, you are not to believe it, because I am telling you. But you have to experience it. If you experience and still you are not been able to settle yourself, with yourself, then no one can help you. But as you are the seekers of truth, you have every right to know it. And at the very outset, I have to tell you, you can’t pay for it. You just can’t pay for it.

Public Program, with Claes Nobel speech, New York I bow to all the seekers of Truth.First of all, I have to say that Truth is what is. You cannot change it, you cannot transform it, you cannot discuss it. It is what it is, it has been what it has been and it will be what it will be. If you accept this fact that we know truths, but we don’t know the absolute Truth. And we have to know that absolute Truth which is described in all the scriptures, because they were all talking about the Truth only.So what is the Truth? The Truth is you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, but you are the pure Spirit. You have to achieve that state of Selfhood. Unless and until you become that, you see all kinds of differences among people, among religions, among nations.So first of all, as you have been described about Kundalini, you need not have blind faith, because blind faith is more dangerous. We have had lots of problems with this blind faith. But you must keep your mind open, because you are seekers, special people, a special category of people, as described by William Blake*, who are seeking. And as seekers, you should experience whatever I am saying, and if it works, if you experience that, then as honest people you must believe it, because that’s what you are seeking and this has to spread all over the world.They have already described to Read More …

Address to Doctors (Indian Medical Association), Auditorium, New Delhi (India). 6 April 1997. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. At the very outset, I have to tell you that Truth is what it is. You cannot change it, you cannot transform it, you cannot explain it. Only thing [is] you can experience it. In this Kali Yuga there is a special category of people born in all the countries very surprisingly, who are seekers of Truth. And William Blake*, the great poet of England has said that these men of God will be born during this time and they will know the truth. So many have said about this. Even in our old books of prophecies. You have known so many of them but especially the one which is described in Nadi Granth written by Bhrigu Muni is clearly said that at this time people will know the Truth through the Kundalini Awakening. The knowledge of Kundalini was known to us, I don’t know how many years back. You cannot say because our history is so unknown. But at the time of a great saint called as Macchindra Nath and Gorakh Nath, they were indulging into awakening of Kundalini but the condition was that one Guru should give Realisation to only one person. Went on like this till the twelfth century when Gyandeva first of all asked his Guru, his own Master was his own brother. He asked him, “You please allow me to at least write about Read More …

1996-12-12 Public Program – Dharma Jagran, Varanasi, India (Hindi)Awakening of “DHARMA”(Religion) [Translation from Hindi to English] I bow to all the seekers of the truth. First of all, you should recognize the truth because the truth is immutable. We can not describe it, we cannot discuss it and until we experience it we can not understand it. Whatever I am going to tell you, you don’t need to take it fully or agree with it (God save from this blind faith). Due to Blind faith, there is a very bad situation nowadays. Very bad…It may happen that many times the mind gets delighted by faith but it does not achieve the truth from it and we can not get the peace of our heart. Those people who use to come to earn the merit (“Punya”) from Kashi (in Varanasi)were killed on the way. There were many dacoits and swindler who use to rob them… Despite this, there was a reverence (faith)to go to Varanasi.And by going there they had the faith that – ‘we will wash our sins and we will become saintly’. It may happen by the grace of Mahadeva (shiva) that they become a little bit saintly…But whatever is achieved is the mere sight (“Darshan Matr”)for eg- There is a very beautiful painting and in this painting, the painter has created a very beautiful creation of the world …Get overwhelmed by seeing her beauty…There he has created- beautiful trees, mountains, flowing river, flying birds, trees with different colours Read More …

Truth and Love both are same New Delhi (India)

Public Programme, 12 March 1996 New Delhi (India) [Hindi to English translation] My greetings to all of you, who are seeking the truth. In India, from time immemorial, a search for truth has been going on. This is known from our scriptures. We searched for truth in different ways. Our country is spiritual in a very special way, the reason being many things are accessible in our country. We do not know how prosperous and how holy our country is and how simple and clean the people are. We used to call foreigners ‘mlecchha’ because we noticed that those who came here tended to have unclean desires. In our time- now I have grown old- it was noticed that those who came from foreign countries how shallow they were, how shallow their vision was and how shallow their desires were. Gradually, this western culture also started to have a tremendous hold on our country. The reason for that was for three hundred years, these people ruled our heads and we slowly started believing that these people who have come to our country and were ruling us, were very great. In reality, these outsiders have got their work done by fooling us. We became cultureless because of other rituals, many bizarre practices and malpractices creeping into our society. Our culture slowly started disappearing.  I could never imagine that so many seekers will come forward, especially in North India. The reason for this could be, in your previous lives, you might have been great seekers Read More …

Whatever I am going to tell you, you should not believe it blindfolded. We have had enough trouble with the blind faiths. So I would just request you to keep your mind open to understand what is the truth. First of all, I am so enamoured to see so many people trying to understand divinity of Shri Gyaneshwara. He was too great. He was too subtle. And I don’t know how many people really could understand Him without being themselves Self-realized, without being knowing their Self. Even Mohammad Saheb has said that “If you do not know yourself, you cannot understand God almighty.” Everybody, even Christ. Christ has emphatically said it. I don’t want now to tell you how many people have said that “You have to know yourself.” Whether it is Jainism, Buddhism, any -isms that has sprouted but how many of them are trying to know the Self? The problems are coming in this country, or in all the countries, all over the world because of complete ignorance about themselves. We go on giving lectures: “Don’t have this. Don’t do that. Don’t have enemy. Don’t hate people.” All sorts of lectures are going on. That has been done many a times now. People can’t give it up. They will have some difficulty in giving Read More …

You cannot transform it. You cannot sell it. This is very important to understand in America that you cannot sell the truth. Also unfortunately at the human awareness you cannot know the absolute truth. If you have known the absolute truth there would have been no problems, no wars, no fights, no arguments. All the evil thing would disappear in the light of the truth. But truth is pure love, pure compassion. And the truth is that you are not this body, mind, emotions, your ego but is the pure spirit. You need not believe me again I would request you because we had lots of trouble with blind faith. If you experience the truth then you have to believe if you are honest because it is for your benevolence, for the benevolence of the families, the benevolence of your country and the whole world.

You cannot change it. you cannot transform it also you cannot describe it. At the most you can tell what it is. But whatever I am going to tell you here, you should not take it for granted, because as you know we have had lots of problems with the blind faith. So whatever I’m saying is proved, then, as honest people, you have to accept it. Because it is for your benevolence, it is for the benevolence of your family, of your country, and the whole world. What I am going to tell you is about the higher state of consciousness that you have to achieve through your evolution. So far with your evolution we have not paid anything, we’ve taken for granted. Don’t have to pay for it. That’s one thing one should understand that it is spontaneous, sahaja. Sah’ means “with”, ja is “born with you,” this right to be evolved, to be the Spirit. So what is the truth? The truth is that you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, this ego, but you are the pure Spirit of which you are not aware maybe.

Public Program. Toronto (Canada), 19 September 1996. Unless and until you become the pure Spirit, you will not know the truth. Only through the purity of your Spirit you can know the truth. We see here beautiful flowers, [unclear: very] beautiful flowers, and we take them for granted. We never even think how miraculous it is that different kinds of flowers are grown by the Mother Earth and how she has created all these colors and how they maintain their heights, all the shrubs and trees. We never even think about it; we take it for granted, but there must be some superior power which is doing all these things that we take for granted. If you ask a doctor, “Who runs my heart?” he’ll say “it’s an autonomous nervous system” If you say, who’s this “auto”, that he’ll be very honest to say, he doesn’t know that one. They’re honest, but they don’t know. So the second truth is, that all these miraculous things are done by another very subtle power which we call as the All Pervading power of divine love. Some people call it as Paramchaitanya some people call it as Alakniranjana and some people call as Ruh. Whatever name you may give it’s the same thing they’re talking about that there is a power, power of divine love, which does all these beautiful things. So the truth we have to know first of all that you have to become the Spirit. English language as it is, Read More …

But whatever we do has no enjoyment but a kind of a lurking anxiety. So make yourself happy and joyous you have to know the Absolute Truth. Then you are not bothered. We have six enemies at least. Humane beings have first the lust, the greed. Jealousies, ego, also false pride. And lastly of all is violence. When we try to use these enemies to harm others in return we are harmed. Also we harm others. We have to get rid of this humane flaw within us. But by telling people, “Don’t do, don’t do” it doesn’t work out. There has to be an ascent, there has to be a global transformation when one goes beyond all these enemies. These enemies work through our mind. And mind is a myth. We have created our mind by reactions. We Read More …

To know the truth we have to be in connection with the source of truth Tolyatti (Russia)

AuthorLeave a comment

1996-0720 Public program Tolyatti Russia[Full Speech: 6.57 to 41.17] I bow to all the seekers of truth. To know the truth we have to be in connection with the source of truth. The source of truth within us is the spirit and this spirit exists like a witness. It watches what you are doing, what right you are doing, what wrong you are doing but it doesn’t come into your attention. But when your kundalini rises then she connects you to this all pervading power and your spirit starts following into your attention. So this all-pervading power which is nothing but we can say the complete intelligence of compassion. For people understand that there cannot be intelligence with compassion. Normally a person who is compassionate is regarded as not so intelligent. But it’s a myth with which we live. A person who is absolutely intelligent will know that you have to have compassion otherwise you cannot exist. But to get to this absolute intelligence you have to get your self-realization. Without that you cannot be absolutely intelligent. Those who are mentally intelligent are always one sided they have conditionings or they are full of ego because they work through their mind and mind is a myth created by us through our conditioning and through our ego. We try to do things according to our conditionings or according to our ego. Through this we create, we create a kind of a mythical thing is a myth there is no thing existing Read More …

Money Power and Land St. Petersburg (Russia)

Author

Public Porgram, Money Power and Land, Russia, St. Petersburg, 18-07-1996 I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. You cannot change it, you cannot transform it, you cannot describe it. I’m very happy that so many of you have come here to know about the truth. I really apologise for the very small hall; it means you have to [unclear/ fix yourself somehow.] Next time, I’m sure we’ll organise in a better way.  So the truth is not known to us, but unconsciously we are seeking the truth. We want to solve the problem through our mind, but this mind is a myth. It’s created by ourselves – through our conditioning and our ego – so one has to go beyond to know the truth. Whatever I am telling you, you are not to believe in, but to experience it. The truth is you are not this mind, this body, these emotions, this ego, these conditionings but you are the pure Spirit. In all the scriptures it is described that, you should know yourself; you must have self-knowledge. People are seeking money, who are of low level of spirituality, then there are people who are seeking power – in the politics or something –and there are people who want to get hold of some lands and fighting for it. All these things are not going to give you the self-knowledge. Without getting the self-knowledge, you can Read More …

Go beyond your mind to know the reality thumbnail

Go beyond your mind to know the reality Moscow (Russia)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program in Moscow (Russia), 15 July 1996. I bow to all the seekers of truth. I have to say that truth is what it is and it cannot be changed. It cannot be described. Unfortunately at this human awareness you cannot know the absolute truth. If you had known the absolute truth there would have been no problem of quarrelling, fighting, arguing. Because absolute truth is singular and I’m sitting before you. You all know I’m here, so you are not going to argue on that point. But when we argue we cannot see. We do not know who is sitting next to us. If there is some sort of a sound everybody will start running, helter-skelter, hurting each other. Maybe they might start fighting. But your eyes are open. When you are alert you know where you are. So what is the truth? The truth is that you are not this body, this mind, this ego, these emotions, but you are the pure spirit. That’s why all of them have said that you have to take your second birth. That means this birth is not the complete thing. In Sanskrit also we call a realized soul, a saint as Dwijaha, means born twice. Also bird is called as dwijaha, means born twice. And the bird is like a small egg. Till it grows and is broken by the mother it is not a bird, it doesn’t exists as a bird. And when it is matured then it comes Read More …

Public Program, Teatr Komedia 14.07.1996 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 transform it. The only thing is you have to experience it. Unfortunately at this human awareness, you cannot know the truth. You have to evolve into a higher state of awareness to know the truth. Without knowing the truth, if you follow something then it’s a very wrong thing. Christ has said: -“you have to be born again”. That is not a false certificate that I’m born again but in the Sanskrit language, we call a Realised soul, a gnostic person, a vijaha, meaning “born again”, “born twice”. In the same way, they call a bird, that is supposed to be born twice because of its an egg and then it becomes a bird. [Shri Mataji repeats again for the translator] Now, So as human beings we are still at the stage where we do not know the absolute truth. Whatever someone tells us we believe in it. We start following it, accepting it. But you should not also accept whatever I’m saying. Till whatever I say is proved, you should not accept it. So what is the truth? The truth is that we are not this body, this mind, this ego, this conditionings but you are the pure spirit. But it’s happening, it is not just a lecture or a statement, but it is happening. It Read More …

Public Program, Bucharest (Romania), 1 July 1996. Arrival at the venue for the Public Program Two lady reporters interview Shri Mataji. Sahaja Yogi translates what the first reporter asks: Reporter: At Your birth it was something happened in the ward or in Your family or in the town You were born? Shri Mataji: I have so many things, so many. I have so many things that happened. Reporter: One example. Shri Mataji: You see, many people had said they saw signs. Also My mother, she saw in her dreams that a Lady in White is coming to save the world. My mother was a very intelligent woman. She was Masters of Mathematics and she was also very, very righteous person. Reporter: If You can tell them about some visionary experience You had, something to be useful for the mankind for our path to the truth. Shri Mataji: When I know everything, what is there to vision? When I know everything there’s no question of vision. Reporter: …some dream, some personal experience from Your childhood, from Your adolescence, from maturity You had – if it’s possible to unveil some visionary experience You had. Shri Mataji: I was never a visionary as such I must say, but I knew My job, I knew My mission from childhood. I was quite aware, Myself. Second Reporter: …about this country, about Romania… Shri Mataji: It’s a very beautiful country, and of such musicians that in India we call them gandharvas, means celestial musicians.

What is the purpose and meaning of yoga? National Palace of Culture, Sofia (Bulgaria)

1996-0707 Public Program, National Palace of Culture, Sofia, Bulgaria 17.13 onwards I (Shri Mataji) 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 describe it. It is the experience of the truth. I am very much thankful to this association of yoga which has invited me very kindly to talk on sahaja yoga. And in a place so far away from India that there is an association I was really quiet surprised. Now we have to understand that why do we do yoga. What is the purpose of yoga and what is the meaning of the yoga. The meaning of the yoga is that you have to unite with the all pervading power of the divine love. In sanskrit it is called as brahmachaitanya, in the quran it is called as Rooh/ruh. Also in the bible it is described as the cool breeze of the holy ghost. And what has to happen to us is our evolutionary breakthrough, the last breakthrough. All kinds of yoga we started in India according to different times. First of all we had three types of seeking. One created vedas. But the first stanza of vedas says that by reading all this if you do not get self knowledge, it is useless. People have been seeking the truth so they took to another , which we call as the bhakti marga. Now this Read More …

Myths are unreal thumbnail

Myths are unreal Royal Albert Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program. Royal Albert Hall, London (UK), 28 June 1996. I bow to all the seekers of truth. It has to be understood that truth what we know through our mental capacity is not the truth, because mind itself is a myth. We have created it. As we have created computers. we have created our myth also through our conditioning and through our ego. Beyond it is the reality. So if you have to know the absolute truth something has to happen. We have to evolve into a higher realm of existence of consciousness. You have been already told about the subtle system that you have. You all have it. You are the owner of it and you have every right to achieve that state of consciousness which in the Zen system call it “Satori”.In every system they have something they call it some name, like the Islam calls it “Wali”, some called it “Sufi”. In the realm of reality, when we are not, we have problems, because we fight for unreal things, you think of unreal thing as real and accept. For example, when they English lost the match. I mean one party has to win, either this or that. But they were so much identified with it, which was falsehood. They were not playing, there were not players that they were English, alright. But there was no war going on. See the myth about it is this, that we get identified with things which are themselves not real. Read More …

Public Program. Teatro Verdi, Genoa (Italy), 18 June 1996. (Shri Mataji is greeted by an authority from Genoa, and receives books about Christopher Columbus as a present). I bow to all the seekers of Truth and Peace. When we talk of peace, we must know by talking we cannot create peace. At a human level, with this human awareness, we have so many complications. We have to evolve little more to achieve our selfhood. Every religion has talked about self-knowledge. If we do not know ourselves, how can we know anything else? For this, as you have been already told, there is a Power in the triangular bone, which is known as Sacrum. That means that Greeks knew that it was a sacred bone. In India we knew about it thousands of years back, no doubt. But it was kept a secret, and was given by one person to one person. Till the 12th century, nobody even talked about it to general public. Then in the 16th century there were many saints who talked about it. Even Mohammed Sahib has said that you have to know yourself if you want to know God. But self-knowledge is something which is not imaginary, it is not mental. We live in a mental world, and I must tell you very humbly that this so-called mind is a myth. It has been created by us through our conditionings and our ego. But beyond this mind is the realm of reality. Unless and until you Read More …

Shri Mataji Dwara Atmasakshatkar Kathmandu (Nepal)

Author2 Comments

­­1996-0416 Public Program, Kathmandu, Nepal All those, who are seeking the truth, my salutations to those saints. We, from within, keep searching for something or the other. There is no contentment within us. And, to tolerate anything, there is no energy within us. So, we should know, within us, why the discontentment, the hardship, the tension,  and worries are prevailing. The reason behind this is our mind. And this mind is an institution created by us. We have made this institution with two counteractions. One is, when there is an ego within us, we react because of this ego. When someone insults us or when we are angry with someone, or we want to destroy someone, the emotions cause turmoil of thoughts and it starts bubbling inside us.    On the other side, our counteractions happen because of the rituals we follow. Good rituals are less and bad ones are more. Because of these rituals also, in the form of reactions, several thoughts get accumulated. All these accumulated thoughts create an institution, which is known as mind and we lead our life according to that and become a slave to our mind. For example, we discovered watches and became a slave to it. We become slave to the watch and get bonded to it.     We discovered the computer and now we are slaving it. Similarly, we have created this mind and we are slaving it. In this slavery, we do not understand that we move away from genuinity, actuality, Read More …

Translation of 1996-0413 Public Program, Maa ka Khel Maya, Kolkata, India (Hindi) I bow down to all the Seekers of Truth. First you should know, that truth will remain truth. What is truth today will remain truth tomorrow. You cannot change that in any way. You cannot transform it and you cannot describe it. Truth is to be known and it is known on our central nervous system. That is what is called bodh; that is what is called Vid. The word Budh from Bodh and the word Vedita from Vid. Until we can feel the truth on our central nervous system until then saying that you know the truth is deceiving yourself. You know truth with your mind with your brain which we call as mann. This system called as Mana which is established in us is a non-ordinary power of ours through which whatever we see, there is a reaction of anger a part of the system one side ego and another system is what we call Sanskar or conditioning. Using these two systems we react to any human, things, topic. Like we see this camera then we think whose it it, wonder what the cost is where to buy it and many other kinds of thoughts popup. The ego says we can also buy if that person can buy and the other system of super-ego driven by our conditioning thinks well with that person in a similar case this happened, it got broken / lost etc. Like Read More …

Public Program, Malaysia, March 12, 1996 I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. It has been, it is, it will be. You cannot change it; you cannot transform it. Whatever I’m going to tell you today, you also should not take it for granted, because we’ve had lots of problems with blind faith. If it proves, then this is like a hypothesis before you, then as scientists keep your mind open and if it works then you have to acccept it as honest people. Because it is for your benevolence, for the benevolence of your family and for the benevolence of the whole world. I’m talking here about the global transformation which is very much needed today because this is a special time, they call it as the Last Judgment or in Koran is described as Qiyamah. In the Resurrection time, I call it as the blossom time when many people have come on this earth to seek the truth. The first thing you have to know that you are not this body, this mind, these conditionings, this ego, your emotions but you are the pure spirit. In the evolutionary process you have become a human being; you have the human awareness but you don’t have the knowledge about the absolute truth. Everybody has a different idea and everybody propagates that idea. While doing that you can argue, discuss, find, quarrel and also we have Read More …

1996-03-09 Public Talk Hong Kong Shri Mataji: I bow to all the seekers of truth! At the very outset, We have to know that truth is, We cannot change it. You cannot transform it, and You cannot purchase it. You have to feel it in your Central Nervous System, Which is called in Sanskrit as ‘Bodh’ from where the word Buddha has come. The word they have used for the saints, on the Central Nervous System [unclear]. They are used for Veda…The Ancient Vedic Scriptures. Whatever I am going to tell you today …You need not accept it [unclear].Because We have suffered a lot, all because of this blind faith. Once it proves, it’s better to accept it as honest people because it is for your benevolence, for the benevolence of the country, for the benevolence of the whole world…Because this knowledge is coming from India, some people really don’t like it. But the other cultures of the western cultures, have [unclear/grown so ] big without going to its roots. If the Indians can learn science, from the west, Why not the science of the divine be learnt from the Indians. And this is the special time for seeking the truth…It’s all predicted. While people are misled, by the wrong type of marketing people. This is divine knowledge, can not be marketed. It is the knowledge of divine love.

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 …

We cannot change it, we cannot transform it, we cannot describe it. You have to experience the Truth. What we know about Truth is through our limited mind which is in itself in a confusion. Mind is actually something artificial. The real is the brain. But mind is artificial. And when we start projecting our mind, everybody does it in their own way. And then there is a conflict, there is a fight. Some says this is correct, another says that is correct and one does not know which one is to follow and what to do. We have science before us. We thought science will solve our problems but we must know that science is a-moral. It has no morality within it and it has such limitations that we cannot know the fundamentals about ourselves. For example, we cannot say why are we on this Earth. The science cannot explain why are we on this Earth. What is the purpose of our life. There are so many things we can ask scientists and they cannot answer the questions. So, we take to religion and to books which are written about God Almighty. There also we find the people who are in charge of religion are extremely power oriented or money oriented. They are not spirit oriented. So whatever religion they have created Read More …

The way I told you before, that truth is the truth. It can not be changed. You can not describe it also. You can not know it even by saying it. you can not know the truth even by reading books. Yes, there may be an indication that what is truth. First of all, we should know this that before relying upon something you should first experience it…Without knowing it or experiencing it, if you just rely on it by just closing your eyes, then it is also waste and if you keep saying something wrong then it is also incorrect. You are looking at the situation of today, that there is tremendous KALYUGA, And in this very KALyuga, every human being is in turmoil, is in problem or discomfort…Whether it is physical, mental, or intellectual …God did not give birth to you for all these problems in this world because.

Public Program, Satya Ki Pahchan Chaitanya Se He, Lucknow, India, 14.12.1995 First of all we should understand one thing, that Truth is Truth. Truth is in its own place. We cannot change it, we cannot describe it. It is established in its own place. The only thing we have to do is to accept the original, created truth. Almighty God has made all the equipments and arrangements within us. It is of utmost importance to know this truth. Today, we can see that mankind, in this world of illusion, in this Kalyuga, is getting deceived and continuing to be misled. He is not able to understand what has happened to the old value systems, and from where to where we have finally reached. And what is going to be our future. When he begins to think, what is going to happen to our future, what is the arrangement for it, what situation and circumstances are going to be in there for our children. Then he begins to realize that the state, in which human beings find themselves today, is not the complete, entire state.  Because, he does not know the absolute truth. He does not know the one and only truth. Every person tries to use his brain and intellect to understand the truth. There are two schools of thoughts; one thought is we accept only that which is accepted through our intelligence and that which we think is right.
