“Heart, Vishuddhi, Agnya, Sahasrara – Becoming the Knowledge”,Public Programme, Derby (UK), 11 July 1982. I’m happy that Dr. Warren could explain to you those chakras about which I told you yesterday, because in one short lecture you can’t cover all these points. And if you get your Realization and you progress well, then you can listen to My tapes which are in hundreds, and you can understand the knowledge is vast like ocean. As I yesterday told you that when you get enlightenment, you become the knowledge. It’s a very confused statement; people don’t understand what does it mean to “become the knowledge.” The other day a gentleman came to Me and he told Me that “My guru has already given me the knowledge.” I said, “How?” “Because he told me, ‘I’ve given you the knowledge.’” I said, “But still, how is it, it is knowledge? How do you believe that he has given you the knowledge?” So he said, “No Mother, he touched me on my forehead and I saw a light.” I said, “Then still, you can see the light otherwise also. How is it you have got the knowledge?” So he started thinking about it. He said that “What should happen If I get the knowledge?” I said, “See, this is another person sitting next to you, he is a Sahaja Yogi. He knows what Kundalini is; also he knows how to raise your Kundalini. He knows what is your problem, what your chakras are catching. He Read More …

Confusion: the Subtle Slavery thumbnail

Confusion: the Subtle Slavery Doctor Johnson House, Birmingham (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program, “Confusion: the Subtle Slavery”. Birmingham (UK), 9 July 1982. One has to realize that modern times are the times of confusion. You don’t know what you want. You don’t know what you want to ask. You don’t know whatever you are doing is right or wrong. Confusion is necessary. Without confusion, we are not desperate. Without desperation we do not seek. But confusion is only visible when a person reaches a certain area of awareness, or we can say, a degree of awareness. Say, at a stage when Moses came on this earth, when the desperation was different, that they wanted to get out of slavery, it was a different style of understanding they had, how to organize a society on a particular pattern so you achieve the maximum amount of efficiency, out of that society. And it was an emergency… it was a very touch and go position for the Jews at that time. It has happened in many countries, in many generations, that they reached a state where they felt extremely desperate. The slavery of man was very apparent at that time. But before that, people didn’t feel bad about the slavery. They had accepted it. They had taken it for granted. And then a time came when they felt, “this is slavery, and we are not going to have any more of it.” And a leader came, that leader worked it out for them. Today in these modern times, we have a very subtle type Read More …

Guru Puja, “Establishing the Guru Principle”   Nightingale Lane Ashram, London (UK), July 4th, 1982 Shri Mataji: Please, be seated. Who’s going to translate Me? Yogi: Gregoire. Shri Mataji: Why don’t you take one of these, Gregoire? Warren: Mother, that is the public address microphone – they won’t be able to hear You. This is for the recording on the tape. Shri Mataji: Then how will they hear him? Will it…? Warren: Mother has to have this one… Gregoire: Should I hold it and sit here, Mother, in front? Shri Mataji: Yes, yes. Then – how will you translate? Gregoire: In French, most of them… Shri Mataji: But loudly. Gregoire: Yes, Mother. Shri Mataji: I think, why don’t you stand up,  and see there – you can stand up there. (Gregoire: “Near there?”) Yes, there. (Gregoire: “OK”) And you can talk loudly, that’s a better idea. Be careful about that. There’s a flame there. Yogi: Just excuse me, Mother. Shri Mataji: I’ve got a problem (unclear. Maybe with the microphone). (To a little girl:) May God bless you. Yes, yes! Oh, thank you, thank you. Aradhana has come. Go and see them. There, there! In the most auspicious time that is called as Krita Yuga, we all have assembled here to understand the ways and methods of establishing our Principle of a Master. Krita Yuga. “Krita Yuga” means the time when you have to do something – “krita: when it was done.” So you are the channels of that doing, doing Read More …

Shri Lalita Puja: Understand your own importance thumbnail

Shri Lalita Puja: Understand your own importance Gillian's House, Brighton (England)

Author3 Comments

Shri Lalita Puja. Hove, Brighton (UK), 15 May 1982. I am really a proud Mother to see so many sahaja yogis. And one must understand that even if you get few people as newcomers, they may be few, but one has to realize that each one of you is now a realized soul. Each one of you have grown so much that you can create a nucleus yourself. And after growing in a collective way together, now individually the seedlings have become strong shoots now, and they can definitely be transferred into different places and work it out, because each one of you is a prophet. I wonder if you realize it or not. Of course you have got the joy of realization, the bliss, everything you have got; you have grown up to that. Slow and steady you have achieved it, and as you have grown as a tree now, every one of you is so important and so powerful. I know that few people come in, in a collective way, and you find it difficult in the beginning how to deal with them; because they are still not grown enough, they are still not up to the point where they really realize their own importance. But you should all understand your own importance and your own quality that you have achieved. In any other so-called fake organizations – for example, say, take the church – there’s only one priest. In the whole locality there is one priest, though Read More …

Advice on Right Side thumbnail

Advice on Right Side Brighton Pavilion, Brighton (England)

Public Program Day 2. Brighton (UK), 14 May 1982. Shri Mataji: Oh, I would suggest that first let them ask questions today. So I keep myself there…If you have any questions, it’s better to ask me first. So that your mind is at rest. I’m glad to stand…better to see people better. Am I better here or on the ground? Now, first of all it’s better to ask the questions because yesterday when we started this question session people got little deviated. It’s better to ask questions now, what you have, because you are all seekers. You are all seekers and you have been seeking so is best is to ask questions now so I’ll be able to put the answer in between My lecture. No questions? That means Sahaja Yogis have become quite capable of explaining Sahaja Yoga and I’m very proud of them. When I went to Australia the newspaper people asked Me, “Mother, are all Your disciples scholars?” I said, “No, they are very common people. They have to be very common and normal people.” But they said, “The way they know things, surprisingly we feel they are all scholars.” I said, “All scholarship is within yourself.” All the knowledge is within yourself. If you only can get light there, you can see all that knowledge is within you. You don’t have to go anywhere for your knowledge. It’s all inside, everything is built in. You are built in so beautifully to become your Spirit that I Read More …

The Left Side Problems of Subconscious thumbnail

The Left Side Problems of Subconscious Christchurch House, Brighton (England)

Author1 Comment

Public Program Day 1, “The Left Side: Problems of Subconscious”. Hove, near Brighton, UK, 13 May 1982. [First three minutes are without sound]But as I told you there could be good conditionings. In the way, in the same way, you can have good habits and bad habits. If habits inhibit or obstruct your ascent, they also can help to stabilize you. The conditioning comes to you from the matter with which we are dealing every day. When a human being sees the matter, he aggresses it and he wants to use that matter for his own purpose. He changes the forms of the matter for his own purpose. He starts getting used to matter as comfort, or as a help or a guide in life. The more you start depending on matter, the more your spontaneity is finished, because you’re dealing with the dead. Matter, when it is dead, then only we deal with it. When it is living we are not so much bothered about it. So the deadness of that matter settles within us when we start using that matter for our purpose. But how are we to otherwise exist, is the question people can ask. If God has given us this material things and this matter to be used, are we not supposed to use them? And are we not supposed to enjoy them? But we don’t enjoy really.. Before realization you cannot enjoy any matter. You can only form a habit and may become a slave Read More …

Christ prepared you for the Spirit thumbnail

Christ prepared you for the Spirit Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)

Author1 Comment

Public programme, Sydney (Australia), 3 April 1981. The other day, I told you about the center of Christ and the center of Shri Krishna and their relationship with each other. Now the last and the most important one within us is the center of Sahasrara is the limbic area. When you enter into it, you become thoughtlessly aware. This is the area to be entered through the Kundalini, through the center of Christ, through the Gate of Christ and that’s why it is written that you have to enter through Him. But not by somebody else saying, “I’m the Christ” or he saying, “I profess Christ and Christ” It’s not that way. Christ is within us and when the Kundalini rises, if it stops at this center, you have to take his name. Not the people who are not Realized, but Realized people have to chant his name, then only the Kundalini pierces through that center of Christ. That’s the door, that’s the gate He’s talked about, and then you enter into the Kingdom of God. “Thou shalt inherit the Kingdom of God.” Inherit. That’s your Father’s Kingdom and that you have to inherit. But now the most important is the last center of Sahasrara where you have all the seven centers placed one after another. These centers are really the seats of all the Deities we have talked about. The seats are in the brain. Their aura is around the heart but they are actually sleeping in the “sthanas” Read More …

Why we are seeking our Spirit? Hampstead Friends Meeting House, Hampstead (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“Why are we seeking our Spirit?” Public Programme,  Friends Meeting House, 120 Heath St, Hampstead,  London (UK), 23 October 1980. Today somebody came from India and told me that, “You better change the name Sahaja Yoga into some other name. So I said, “What about Maha Yoga?” And he liked it very much. He said, “Now people are taking Sahaj Yoga as their own and they are using it for their own purpose.” I said, “Very good idea. If they are using it, is even better! Because the word itself suggests that this union has to be spontaneous. They have to give a spontaneous union. If they claim it, they have to do it. If they are not doing it, then it is wrong. It’s very simple!” But he said, “In any case Sahaj Yoga does not denote the dimension which it has reached: that people are getting en-masse Realisation.” Moreover he said that people don’t understand that the time has come for thousands of people to get their Realisation. Perhaps we are not aware [of] what time we are born. So many people are seeking God. Never in the history before there was such a multitude which was seriously seeking God, and honestly wanting to get their union. Only in the modern times you find they are very honest, very sincere; and they are born seekers. I mean their quality is that they are seekers; their temperament is that they are seekers. They are not satisfied with anything else but Read More …

Transformation, Morning Advice at Bordi seminar Bordi (India)

Author1 Comment

Transformation, Morning Advice at Bordi seminar, Bordi Shibir (India), January 27th, 1980 Everybody was feeling very nice when they came here, happy, and they felt their vibrations were all right, but it was not so. You should be on the alert. Ask each other to check you. Be humble about it. You must go on checking. Unless and until you check yourself, how will you know what’s the thing you are catching? Ask others to check you and be humble, very humble about it and do not take things for granted because, unless and until we transform ourselves, Sahaj Yoga has no meaning to you. You see, it would be a very material way of expression of Sahaj Yoga; like this radio or this transistor or this loudspeaker are just radiating.  We have to know that Sahaj Yoga is not just to pass energy through us like all other material things are passing energy. This mic is passing the energy, this transistor is passing the energy, and all other such things are just passing the energy. Nothing goes into them! Like an artist is singing and nothing passes into the radio. In the same way, if our power starts flowing because somehow the Kundalini has been connected to the mains, it has not done its job, neither you have done any justice to yourself. So you have to absorb that flow of the Ganges within you and assimilate it and transform yourself. The Ganges would be flowing, but if it Read More …
