Mahamaya Shakti seminar, evening, Birmingham, (UK), 20 April 1985 Shri Mataji: Please be seated.Is it all right this one?Are you recording all right?Sahaja Yogi: Yes MotherShri Mataji: So, this is how Mahamaya plays. They had planned everything. They had all the arrangements made and the sari was missing. All right. So, they came and told Me that, “The sari’s missing. So, now what to do?” You can’t have puja without the sari, according to them. [Laughter] So, I said, “All right, let’s wait. If it arrives in time we’ll have it; otherwise we can have it later”. But I was least disturbed, least upset. Because I do not have a mental conception of it. But if you have a mental conception, “Oh, we have programmed everything, arranged everything. We have done this and now it’s fizzling out.” Doesn’t matter. Nothing is fizzling out. [Laughter]But that is what we cannot do. Because you asked Me today, “What is Mahamaya?”, this is what it is. [laugh]You must learn to accept whatever comes your way. That’s one of the things. And here where we feel frustrated, angry, upset and spoil our joy, one of the things, because we make a mental projection. Mentally we calculate something. This has to be. And it’s really in a way a subtle ego feeling. Because I thought, “That’s what is destined, all right. We’ll have it tomorrow. What does it matter?” In any case I told Mr. Srivastava that I’ll be back only about two o’clock.He said, Read More …

Birthday Puja: Our maryadas thumbnail

Birthday Puja: Our maryadas Kew Ashram, Melbourne (Australia)

AuthorLeave a comment

Birthday Puja. Melbourne (Australia), 17 March 1985. I am very joyous today to see all of you celebrating my birthday as well as having the national programme same day. It’s a good combination we have in the month of March. It’s regarded as springtime in India – madhumas (मधुमास). That’s what you sing, madhumas. And as you know 21st March is the equinox, so it is a balance and also the centre of all the signs you have in the horoscope. So many centres I had to achieve and also I was born on the Tropic of Cancer as you are on the Tropic of Capricorn, and Ayers Rock is on the Tropic of Capricorn – just in the centre. So, so many combinations had to be worked out. So the principle of ascent is to be in the centre, to be in the balance, to be in the maryadas of the centre, to be in the boundaries of the centre, is the principle. So what happens when we do not keep to the boundaries, to the maryadas? Then we get caught up. If we keep to maryadas we can never be caught up. Many people say, “Why have the maryadas?” Say we have the maryada, the boundaries of this beautiful ashram here and somebody is attacking you from all the sides, on all the sides of the void, so if you go out of the void you get caught up. That’s why you have to keep to the boundaries. Read More …

A New Era – Sacrifice, Freedom, Ascent Bordi (India)

A New Era – Sacrifice, Freedom, Ascent. Bordi (India), 6 February 1985. I am immensely joyous to see you all here. I do not know what to say from my side. The words get lost, they have no meaning. So many of you are aspiring to ascend to that state where you would have complete joy, bliss and peace. This is what I could give you. And a mother is only happy when she can give whatever she has to her children. Her unhappiness, all her restlessness, everything is just to achieve that end – to gift all that she has. I don’t know how much to thank you people to go through all this to get to that treasure that you have within yourself. ‘Sahaj’ is the only word I could think [of] when I started to manifest Sahasrara opening. That’s easily understood by everyone so far. But you have realised that it is today a different style of yoga where first enlightenment is given and then you are allowed to look after yourself. It was never done before. It’s just a venture of your Mother which has worked out. Otherwise, in the olden times the concern of Divine was to get people enlightened and It did not know how to work it out. No incarnation ever tried to work it out in this fashion. But whenever they tried, they tried to have a very severe hardship for the seekers – very severe hardships. I wonder how many of Read More …

Pre-Christmas Talk and Farewell Puja. Montague Hall Hounslow (UK), 23 November 1984. So yesterday was a nice day for all of us, and I said something of a different level. We’ve been talking all the time about the mundane things and these things sometimes are very … are of so much importance, we think. But when I talked to you yesterday, I hope you all realized that we have to now jump into another realm of a subtler understanding of Sahaja Yoga. First we were worried about our families, our children, our households; then, our marriages. One after another all these questions came up, and we were concerned about all these things; little, little things. Then we also got concerned about the ashrams which we were running: the problems of the ashram, what we have been doing, how we have been facing the problems, how people are creating problems. That’s how our humanity started acquiring a subtler understanding. And then we also realized that we are blessed by God, that there’s something great that is always looking after us, some higher Force, some special Attention is there about ourselves. This is what we realized. Today I was explaining how it happens, that how we realize that God is helping us. Any problem is an effect of some sort of a cause – every problem. Like Mona wrote a letter that she was driving in a motorway and the car went out of control, and the brake would not act. And Read More …

Navaratri Puja, London Hampstead (UK), 23 September 1984. [Conversation with a Yogi about the mike.]Sahaja Yogi: They’ve gone out to get some batteries for the mike.Shri Mataji: All of them should come and sit in front, all the children, the girls, or at the back in the chair.[Cut in the video] Today is a great day for all of us – Can you hear me there? – that we are celebrating Navaratri today and all of us are meeting after such a long time of My tour.When in Italy, I said that England is the heart of the universe, they would not accept it. They were very shocked at this statement. They couldn’t believe that England could be the heart of the universe. One of the reasons was that they felt that the English people were invaded once by Romans, and Romans at that time also had felt that English were very bumptious people. They would not even accept the defeat with the grace of a person who is lost. Even if they were lost, they used to be bumptious. So they could not believe how could it be that the English is the heart of the universe? If this is the heart, what’s the situation of the universe? And then they described to Me at length the bumptiousness of the English, and then I felt I have known something like that Myself. Now, when we are celebrating the greatest of greatest, this Navaratri, there must be something special about Read More …

Shri Ekadasha Rudra Puja: Rudra is the destructive power of Shiva Como (Italy)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Ekadasha Rudra Puja. Faggeto Lario, Como (Italy), 16 September 1984. Today, we are doing a special type of puja which is performed in the glory of Ekadasha Rudra. Rudra is the destructive power of Shiva, of the Spirit. Now one power, which is His nature, is forgiveness. He forgives, because we are human beings, we commit mistakes, we do wrong things, we get tempted, our attention is disturbed – so he forgives us. He also forgives us when we spoil our chastity, we do immoral things, we do thieving, and we do things that are against God, talk against Him. He also forgives our superficialities, jealousies, our lust, our anger.  Also He forgives our attachments, petty jealousies, vanities and also possessiveness. He forgives our egoistical behaviour and also our subordination to wrong things. But every action has a reaction, and when He forgives, He thinks that He has given you a big grace-mark, and that reaction builds up within Him as a wrath, against those who are forgiven, [who] try to do greater mistakes. Especially, after Realisation, because such a big blessing there is of the Realisation – you’ve got the light and, in the light, if you are holding onto a snake then His wrath goes up because he sees how stupid you have been. [Italian translator is confused. Shri Mataji re-iterates] What I am saying is that after Realisation, especially, He is much more sensitive that, people who are forgiven and have been given such a big Read More …

Search Something Higher thumbnail

Search Something Higher Searcys at The Pump Room, Bath (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program. Bath (UK), 7 August 1984. I bow to all the seekers of truth. It is such a pleasure to come to this old city of Bath. The Romans who lived here are so much changed today that it is impossible to locate the Romans who lived here. Life has changed in these modern times to a very, very great extent and the ideas about life is also very much changed. As the society has evolved, we reach a point where we start thinking “What next?” As if what Romans wanted, the power – we have enjoyed it now; then they wanted to have money, possessions – we have enjoyed all that, and seen the nonsense of it; and now beyond that we are seeking something more, something that is not known as yet. But there’s a feeling that we have to search something greater, higher, something that is absolute. This special category exists today in thousands, in millions I should say, all over the world. And this I call as the blossom time, when thousands have to become the fruits. Is a special time, very, very special time mentioned in all the scriptures as the resurrection time, or the time of judgment, or Krita Yuga in the Indian scriptures. It’s very clearly written about Krita Yuga in the Indian scriptures, that at this time people will have connection with the Divine – sakshat. They will get their realization, that they call as “atma sakshatkar” and everything will be Read More …

Diwali Puja, “Becoming the ideals”. “Temple of all faiths”, Hampstead, London (UK), 6 November 1983. With today’s vibrations, you can see, when you are prepared for a puja, how much you get. Today you can feel it. So the Divine is very anxious to act, only thing you have to prepare yourself. And all these preparations are going to help you tremendously. As we are now Sahaja Yogis we have to know that we have become something different from what we were. We are Yogis, we are higher people than others. And as such we have to understand one thing, that we are not like other human beings who say something and do something, who can live with hypocrisy. That’s why all the problems have arisen out of all the religions. A person who says he’s a Christian he is absolutely anti-Christ; who says who is Islamic, he is absolutely anti-Mohammed; who says who is a Hindu is absolutely anti Shri Krishna. This is the main reason why all the religions have failed so far, because human beings talk big of ideals. They all say that we have this ideal, that ideal, but they are not those ideals, they cannot live with those ideals. The ideals are not in their lives, they are outside. But they go about saying that these are our ideals, they become fanatics, but they are not the ideals. By Sahaja Yoga now you have the method, you have the possibility, that you can become the Read More …

Shri Ekadasha Rudra Puja: We have to drop out many things thumbnail

Shri Ekadasha Rudra Puja: We have to drop out many things Judy Gaddy's Apartment, New York City (United States)

Author2 Comments

Ekadasha Rudra Puja. New York City (USA), 17 September 1983. [FROM THE VIDEO] So today is a day, according to Indian calendar, called as ‘Parivartani Ekadashi’.  Now, today is the eleventh day of the moon. Eleventh day is ‘ekadashi’. Also, in Sahaja Yoga, you know about Ekadasha Rudra, which is here (forehead); which will ultimately destroy all those things which are not required anymore. That is Ekadasha here, that’s the eleventh.  But today is a special day where we are going to use the power of Ekadasha to do the ‘parivartan’ means ‘the transformation’. It’s not for destruction but for transformation. It’s such a day to be here in New York, where we use the destructive powers for the transformation of human beings. So, it’s a very great day today that we are going to transform people by the manifestation of the Ekadasha’s powers. And they are eleven placed over your forehead here, and you know how they work out. So, these ten come out of the destructive powers of the Void. The Void has got ten destructive powers also. Out of those ten, the destructive part settles down here (pointing to upper forehead). So when a person is on his destruction, say for example a cancer is set in, then you might feel a throb here, at the apex of your Void, the throb. And it doesn’t logically mean that if there’s a throb there’s a cancer, but if there’s a cancer there will be a throb in here going Read More …

Shri Krishna Puja: The Ultimate Of The Fatherhood thumbnail

Shri Krishna Puja: The Ultimate Of The Fatherhood Tannay Ashram, Tannay (Switzerland)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Krishna Puja, Tannay (Switzerland), 28 August 1983. Today we are celebrating here, in this holy land the birthday of Shri Krishna. Shri Krishna is the ultimate of the fatherhood that I described you before, who came on this Earth and illustrated the ultimate of that. So, on this Earth, the highest fatherhood is Shri Krishna’s awareness. But in the Kingdom of God, we can say in the Heavens, or even above everything else, resides Sadashiva who does not take incarnations. He is one of the aspects, Shri Krishna is one of the aspects of Sadashiva which is the Father. And the Adi Shakti or the Holy Ghost is the other aspect of Sadashiva which is His power. So, when Shri Krishna incarnated on this Earth, an aspect of this Adi Shakti came on this Earth as Radha. She is the same who came as the Mother of Christ, and She gave the name of Christ as the surname of Shri Krishna, as if it is Krishna’s name, from Krishna. He’s called as “Krisht” in Indian languages, Krisht.  And I have told you before why he was called as Yeshu or Jesu. So, today we are going to see to the two aspects of Shri Krishna, which were the manifestation of His divine birth. In Rama’s life they showed a man; a Purushottama, the best of the father in worldly affairs. And in Shri Krishna’s life they showed Him the highest fatherhood as in Yogeshwara or in divine work. So, Read More …

I told that would be great if we go to Melbourne, and we went to the sea and I made a Ganesha and they made a Shiva there and they worshipped Me. Sahaja Yogi: Do we have some towel for Mother? For Mother’s hands. So, and they made a Kundalini also there. See, and then they prayed. And it rained and rained and rained, it poured, you know, poured in buckets, poured in buckets, it was – – I have never seen such rain before, like buckets were pouring. And in one day, four inches of rain in that Sydney can you believe it? And the puja was on inside and outside on My birthday. Buckets and buckets of water.

Birthday Puja, “Overcoming The Six Enemies”. Sydney (Australia) 21 March 1983. It is so great to be with you people today on this auspicious day; to be with Australians who have proved to be very good Sahaja yogis and who have progressed in a very speedy manner in their spiritual life. It gives me greatest pleasure to be with my children here. As you know I have so many children all over the world apart from the ones whom I actually physically gave birth. We have to think of all those today who are away from us, thousands of miles, praying to God Almighty for their spiritual ascent. One has to only pray for the spiritual ascent. Because as you ascend you get all the rest of it. Because you do not ascend you do not get what is needed. That’s why there are problems. And even today I had to solve some problems before I could come to puja. But if you decide that we have to ascend spiritually within us then everything that you have to receive, all the blessings that God wants to shower upon you, to make you the citizen of His great Kingdom, where you are no more judged, you are no more chastised, you are no more put to any test, of where you reside in eternal love of God and in His glory. I could not believe about ten years back, that within ten years I’ll be able to achieve this result. We Read More …

Workshop for new people, candle treatments, Sydney, 1983, March the 20th Sahaja Yogi: Just to finish off on that point, Mother often uses this expression that there are jet planes and there are bullets cars. We all have to rise at the same level and this is what this Collective Consciousness is all about [inexact interpretation].I, when I get my Realization, am not at a higher level than you when you get your Realization. I may have cleared my chakras a little more than you but we all have to come together; we all have to work it out together. It has to be a collective experience. All right? It’s not that I’m a great Yogi and you are a little, a little nothing.Seeker lady: [Inaudible]Sahaja Yogi: Why don’t we let Mother answer that question.Seeker lady: Right.Sahaja Yogi: The question of people: “Even before Realization, having a certain level of awareness which was, are they close to Realization, and what if they don’t even meet you? What is their position?” Shri Mataji: You have to know that you all have been seekers before also. This is not the first time you have been seeking. So, already you have reached a certain state where you feel and you are aware that something more has to happen to you, you are already ready for that, some of you have really taken birth in this time just for this.

Devi Puja: Individual journey towards God Sydney (Australia)

AuthorLeave a comment

Devi Puja. Sydney (Australia), 14 March 1983. Now you all have realised by this time, that within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There’s an ocean of all that. We cannot seek it outside. We have to go within; what they call ‘in the meditative state’ you seek it, you enjoy it. Like, when you are thirsty, you go to a river or you go to an ocean and try to quench your thirst. But even the ocean cannot give you sweet water so how can anything that is spread outside give you that deep thing that is within you? You are trying to find it out outside where it does not lie. It is within us, absolutely within us. It is so simple because it is your own. It is within your reach, just there. Whatever you have been doing: going out to find the joy, the so-called joy, the so-called happiness, the so-called glory of worldly powers and worldly possessions, you have to reverse it back the whole thing. You have to project within yourself. It was not wrong that you went out [but] it was not correct that you went out. You shouldn’t feel sorry for what you have done so far. It was not the correct way to get to the real joy of life, the real glory of your being. It has worked in so many people that you have entered into that subtler understanding. Some people are only at Read More …

Mahashivaratri Puja: Shiva Tattva Within Us thumbnail

Mahashivaratri Puja: Shiva Tattva Within Us New Delhi (India)

Author2 Comments

Shivaratri Puja. Sahaja Yoga Temple, Delhi (India), 11 February 1983. I am happy that you all have adjusted yourselves in this small space. When there is love and understanding, little space can occupy many hearts. But when there is no large heart then whatever one may get is just never sufficient. Today, we are going to worship Shiva Tattwa within us, principle of Shiva. For all Sahaja Yogis it’s very important, because Shiva is the ultimate we have to achieve. Shiva is represented in our Spirit, so to become Shiva is the ultimate aim of everything else. The rest of it is all created, like Vishnu Tattwa and Brahmadeva, just to create human beings, to evolve them and then ultimately lead them to Shiva. That’s the ultimate. But human beings get so involved into the Brahmadeva’s Tattwas that even to get into Vishnu Tattwa is difficult. They get involved into the five elements which have created us. That is the outermost being within us. All the chakras have the outermost, we can say the, just the vessel, but the desire to be the Spirit is of primal importance in Sahaja Yoga. So, we have to see inward towards ourselves as Sahaja Yogis, “Do we have that desire entirely, or we have still many desires hanging around?” You see, the greatest problem is of the Nabhi chakra, whether it is in the East or the West. Some people still have hankering for the baser search of food, which is very surprising, Read More …

Shri Saraswati Puja: The basis of all creativity is love Dhule (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Saraswati Puja, Dhulia (India), Sankranti day, 14 January 1983. With love all kinds of creative action takes place. You see how Raulbai has love for Me, and in this place you all also got new idea of creating a beautiful thing. And as love will increase, your creativity will develop. So the basis of all creativity of Saraswati is love. If there is no love there is no creativity. It is even in the deeper sense, if you see; people who have created all the scientific things are also out of love to the masses, not for themselves. Nobody has produced anything for themselves. If they make something for themselves it has to become for universal use, otherwise it has no meaning. Even if you say atom-bomb and all these things are created from science, they are also very protective. If they had not created those, people would not have taken out their minds from war. Now nobody can think of having a big war. Of course, they are having cold wars, but that also will gradually stop, when they will be fed up. So, all the activity on the right hand side, of Saraswati, basically has to end up in love. Starts with love and ends up in love.  Whichever does not end up in love, coils up and finishes off. It just disappears. So you can see that even matter which is not used for love just finishes off. The basis has to be love. Otherwise all Read More …

Shri Mahakali Puja: Desire Within & Havan Lonavala (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Mahakali Puja, Lonawala, Maharashtra (India), 19 December 1982. (A hill station on the road from Mumbai to Pune) English So welcome to you all, Sahaja Yogis, to this great country of yoga. Today, first of all we have to establish our desire within ourselves that we are seekers and that we have to achieve our full growth and maturity. Today’s puja is for the whole universe. The whole universe should be enlightened with your desires. Your desires should be so intense that they should emit out the pure vibrations of Mahakali Shakti, which is the pure desire of attaining the Spirit. That’s the real desire. All the other desires are like mirage. You are the people who are chosen by God. Specially, first to express your desire, and then to achieve it. And by intense desire of purity you have to purify the whole world. Not only the seekers, but even those who are not seekers. You have to create an aura around this universe, of desire to achieve the Ultimate, the Spirit. Without desire this universe would not have been created. This Desire of God is the one that is the Holy Ghost, is this All-Pervading Power, is the Kundalini within you. Kundalini has only one desire, is to be the Spirit and anything else, if you desire, the Kundalini doesn’t rise. Only when it knows that this desire is going to be fulfilled by somebody, who is facing the seeker, it is awakened. If you do not have Read More …

Diwali Puja: Wealth & Generosity Nirmala Palace - Nightingale Lane Ashram, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Diwali puja, London (UK), 14 November 1982. Today we are here, all of us, to celebrate a four day festival called as Diwali. Diwali, it comes from the word ‘dipali’; ‘dipali’ in Sanskrit. The word ‘dipa’ means ‘the lights’, and ‘ali’ means the ‘line’, the ‘rows’. Now, there are many things that have happened during these four days and that’s how it is celebrated with such a great enthusiasm. The first thing is the day of the Lakshmi’s birth. That is the thirteenth day of the moon, “dhanteras’ they call it. [Which] is the real day when Lakshmi was born out of the sea; that’s why She is called as Miriam or Maryam. The word ‘Marie’ or ‘Marine’, also comes from the word ‘sea’. So, She’s born out of the sea. She’s created out of the sea. And the wealth of the sea, so far, thank God, human beings have not yet exploited. But they may, one day, start doing that also. And a lot of wealth is still there, so when people start getting worried about exhausting the Mother Earth, you must know that sea is much more than the Earth is, so nothing is exhausted. Still there is such a lot in reserve for you, and one should not worry [apart, “Thank you”] as to the supply of wealth that can come from the sea. Now, this Lakshmi is the goddess who stands on the lotus. She represents all the well-being, the wealth; the glory of wealth, the Read More …

Fourth Public Programme. Vienna (Austria), 30 September 1982. I bow to all the seekers of truth. In my last lectures I’ve been telling you about these centers which are placed in the lower part of the body. Today I would like to cover the rest of the three centers which lie here, here and here. These are very important centers for human beings. When man as a human being raised his head up, this center established a new dimension. This center is called as Vishuddhi chakra. And this has got sixteen petals which manifests in the sympathetic or the para-sympathetic nervous system sixteen plexuses, which looks after our eyes, nose, throat, and our tongue, our eyes, part of the eyes, and the whole expression of the face. When man is ego-oriented, he puts back his head like that. And when he’s super-ego-oriented, he puts down his head like that. This center is extremely important for human beings and for Sahaja Yoga, because the hands play a big part in Sahaja Yoga. To get a universal language we have to use our hands – that is the best, for say, for people who are blind, who are deaf and dumb, best thing for them is to use the hands. So these hands, though we express ourselves by moving fingers and gestures, are still not enlightened. When this center gets enlightened then these hands become enlightened, too. This center has two sides, one on the right and one on the left. The Read More …

This country is an historical country with different upheavals it has gone through to learn so many lessons in life. But human beings are such that they do not relate the calamities with their mistakes. That’s how they go on repeating the same mistakes again and again. The visit to Vienna was overdue and I came on a day when we had to celebrate the birthday of Machindranath (Ed. M. is a Sahaja Yogi baby).

Gregoire: I can also translate in Italian Shri Mataji: But has he not come? He should come for the puja, you know.Everybody should come in. When they are all here, then I will start. Now, come forward. There’s room here. Those who can sit on the ground can sit in front. Please come. (Mother aside to yogini) You like it? Colour is all right?Where is, who else will translate?All right, you can come. You do it in French and she can do it in Italian. Arnaut has not come?You are there. Who else?The children can sit in front – let the children sit in front. All the four children could come later on, when you start the puja.Has everybody come? Ah! Robotic motor-cars! Great!… Exactly, that’s what it is! Who is outside? [Here starts the transcript of the talk] All right. First, I would like to tell you about the meaning of Puja. There are two aspects. (5.02) One is the aspect that you have got your own deities within yourself. And these deities are to be awakened within you. Deities are the different aspects of one God. So, on Read More …

Dedication Through Meditation (Evening) Cowley Manor, Cheltenham (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Complete Dedication The Only Way/ Dedication through meditation. Cowley Manor Seminar, Cheltenham (England), 31 July 1982. Today, for the first time, I’m venturing to say something which I should have said much earlier. As today I told you that it is necessary that you have to recognise me. And that recognition is fixed. That condition is fixed. I cannot change it.  As Christ has already said, that: “Anything against me will be tolerated, will be forgiven, but anything against the Holy Ghost will not be.’’ It’s a very big warning – very big warning. Perhaps people don’t realise what it means. Of course none of you are against me, that I know, and you don’t do anything against me, that’s very true. After all, you are my children, I love you very much and you love me. That’s only the warning that Christ has given you. But one must think why we are not progressing so fast as we should have. When people are mesmerized, they fall completely flat on the ground in front of their gurus, absolutely. They give up their money, they give up everything – homes, houses, families, children, and just go flat – when they are mesmerized. Without asking any questions, without going into any detail, without trying to find out the life of their guru. All such people also go very fast into darkness, into greater darkness, and into complete destruction. But you are sahaja yogis and you have to construct yourself. I didn’t want Read More …

“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 …

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!

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 …

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

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 …

Sahasrara Puja: Opening the Primordial Sahasrar Sahasrara Puja. Le Raincy (France), 5 May 1982. Today, it’s a great day for all of us, the seekers that the last work of the Divine, of opening the last centre in the Great Primordial Being, was done on the 5th of May 1970.  It is the greatest event of all the spiritual happenings of the Universe.  It was done with very great care and great adjustments. It is not in the limits of human understanding, how things are worked in the heavens.  It is your fortune and God’s love that has worked out this wondrous miracle. Without this happening, there could not have been a possibility to give mass Realisation to people.  One could have done it for one or two persons here and there, but to give such a mass awakening could not have been possible. As you know, in the Sahasrara, there are the seats of the seven main chakras.  There are one thousand nadis or, as they call it, flames, and they all have each sixteen thousand powers.  Every nadi deals with a particular type of a person and, with the permutations and combinations of all these nadis, human beings are looked after. As soon as Sahasrara was opened, the whole atmosphere was filled with tremendous chaitanya and there was tremendous light in the sky, and the whole thing came on this Earth as if a torrential rain or a waterfall, with such a tremendous force, as if I was Read More …

Christmas puja. Chelsham Road Ashram, London (UK), 25 December 1981. [TAPE BEGINS WITH CHRISTMAS CAROLS SUNG BY THE YOGIS] I wanted to be with you people on a Christmas day, but it never happened before. It has so chanced that I have to be here with you today and on the New Year. Something good has to happen I hope next year, some good luck has to come. Christ’s work was very unique. The whole thing was a very unique thing, was planned in such a manner that He was to be born in a place which was very humble, very humble place. Because He came to teach us humility. The word ‘teaching’ in English language means telling about it, talking about it. But when I say ‘teach’ I mean create, to activate this humility. Actually, He came on this earth first of all to create a space within us, at the Agnya chakra, by removing the hurdles of the ego, hurdles of the ego. He had to talk of humility that time, because Romans were ruling and they were very arrogant, very crude, uncouth, underdeveloped, we should say, not at all evolved. Like, you can say some of the animals, which came into being and were thrown out of the evolutionary process later on because they were useless, too aggressive or too big for their size or some sort of a thing like that. In the same way, Romans were. If you see their body, even now, painted sometimes, Read More …

Diwali Puja. Chelsham Road Ashram, London (UK) – November 1, 1981. Today I told you about the importance of Lakshmi principle within us and the three processes through which we pass. First is the Gruhalakshmi. Actually, this is celebrated mostly on the thirteenth day of the moon, where they say that the housewife has to be given some present. And the best thing she can have is a some sort of an utensil. So people give her some utensils, actually it’s a very mutual thing, because if you give an utensil, she is supposed to cook for you. It’s a very sweet way of suggesting that you cook something for us. Then the fourteenth day is very important, because that is the day the Goddess as a power, as a power, because it was Kartikeya who killed Narakasura, the devil. And he was one of the worst of all, could not be killed. So, Shiva and Parvati were married for this special purpose to produce this powerful Shaktiputra, means the son of the Shakti, known as Kartikeya. And He was just born to kill this horrible devil, called as Narakasura. And He killed. That is the day, fourteenth day. It is something like Halloween, that day. Because that is the day they opened the gates of hell and put all the devils into hell. And that’s why that day one has to rest in the morning time as long as possible. So, that let all the devils be put in Read More …

Mooladhara and Swadhishthan Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)

1981-03-25 Mooladhara and Swadhishthana, Sydney, Australia I bow to all the seekers of Truth. The other day, I told you a little bit about the first centre, called as Mooladhara Chakra, and Kundalini, which is the residual consciousness in the triangular bone called as sacrum. As I told you that this is the pure desire power which has not yet been awakened and is not yet manifested within you, which resides here waiting for a moment to arise and to give you your second birth, your baptism. It makes you at peace. It gives you your Self-realization. This pure desire is to be one with your Spirit. Unless and until it is fulfilled, those who are seeking will never be satisfied whatever they may do.  Now, this first centre is very important because this was the first centre that was created when the Primordial Being started doing the job. This is the centre of innocence that is holiness. First thing that was created was holiness on this Earth. This centre is very important in all the human beings because animals have innocence, they have not lost it, while we have a right, or we can say, we have a freedom to abandon it. We can do it, we can somehow or other destroy it by our so-called ideas of freedom. This centre has a power to give us wisdom. Wisdom is such a word that cannot be explained. Wisdom is the balance between your understanding of what is good and Read More …

And today is the last day for our Sahaj Yogis (before Mother’s trip to India). We have to understand certain very, very important things about ourselves and our organisation that is divine. Now, in broad lines I can tell you, not individual problems and individual things because you are no more individuals now. You have become part and parcel of the Divine Being and you are awakened cells and so in a broad way we must understand what we have to do about it. First thing, we have to know that we are Realised souls, and that you have got Realisation and that you are saints; that you have all the powers that a saint could have. No saint ever had more powers than you have, as it is, which is manifesting. No saint had any knowledge that you have today. You’ll be amazed, none of the books which have been written so far have been able to tell you about the spiritual being that is within you as you have come to know through Sahaja Yoga. One has to accept it. It is so. Any one of them, whosoever has written any books – even, I would say, Adi Shankaracharya, he could not explain so many things which you know. But the Read More …

Sahasrara Puja: Sincerity Is The Key Of Your Success Dollis Hill Ashram, London (England)

“Sincerity is the key of your success”, Sahasrara Puja, Dollis Hill ashram, London (England), 5 May 1980. We can say, in 1970, 5th May, [for the] first time, the collective Spirit of God opened out. So far the blessings of God came to human beings individually as grace. And they received their Self-realisation individually, one by one. And the method for individual realisation was just the opposite of the collective. First they had to establish their dharma, cleanse themselves fully, desiring all the time for their salvation, putting their attention to their salvation, as you call it Ishwara Pranidhan (desire for God), thinking of God, asking for His grace and acting in a scrupulous, dharmic ways to keep themselves pure. They had to control their mind, control their desires, control their action in such a manner that they absolutely kept to the centre path. And when they could get through all that testing and immunity, and when they deserved [it], then only the grace of Mother gave them realisation. This pattern was on for some time. These few people who got realisation did lots of wonderful things to prepare for Sahaj Yog. They were in every field of life, but very few and unique. For example, in India and in many other places in ancient times, they discovered the unique gifts of the Mother Earth; what you call as the swayambhus – created by themselves. These stones or stone images, which were thrown out by the Mother Earth, were discovered Read More …

The Value of Marriage Dollis Hill Ashram, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“The Value of Marriage”. Dollis Hill Ashram, London (UK), 8 March 1980. That Sahaja Yoga is first to start your germination, then it grows. In that growth, you have to become a wider personality and a wider personality. With the marriage you become even a better person, and you develop a better personality. Now, why marriage is necessary for Sahaja Yogis? First and foremost thing, it is the most normal thing to do, is to marry. God has given you this desire to be married for some purpose. But, the same desire, if you do not use it for the purpose it is given, it can become a perversion, it can become a nasty thing. It can be very detrimental to your growth. So one should understand this desire within us to have a marriage. Marriage means wife, who is a part and parcel of your being. A wife on whom you can depend. She’s your mother, she’s your sister, she’s your child, she’s everything. You can share all your feelings with your wife. So it is important that the wife should be such, that she should understand that this is the need of a marriage. Now, in Sahaja Yoga, as you have seen, all of you have problems either of the left or the right. Now, when these marriages will take place, mostly spontaneously, it will happen by the nature’s plan itself, that you will marry a person who is a complementary personality to you. Because, supposing you are Read More …

Advice for Effortless Meditation. London (UK), 1 January 1980. In the same way the vibrations, the vibrations are coming, they are radiated. What you have to do is to expose yourself to it. The best is not to put in any effort. Don’t worry at what point you have a problem. Say, many people during meditation, I have seen if they catch somewhere they go on looking after it. You just don’t have to worry. You just let it go and it will work by itself. Is going easy? So you don’t have to put in any effort. This is what meditation is. Meditation means exposing yourself to God’s grace. Now the grace itself knows how to cure you. It knows how to mend you, how to settle down itself into your own being, keep your Spirit kindled. It knows everything. So you don’t have to worry as to what you have to do or what name you have to take, what mantras you have to do. In meditation you have to be absolutely effortless, expose yourself fully and you have to be absolutely thoughtless at that time. Supposing there’s a possibility, you may not be thoughtless. At that time you have to just watch your thoughts, but don’t get involved into them. You will find gradually as the sun rises, the darkness goes away and the sun’s rays go into every crevice and every part and makes the whole place lighted.

Advice about Chakras CKP Hall, Mumbai (India)

Author2 Comments

Advice about Chakras. Mumbai (India), 30 December 1979. It is said that God is love. We have heard that many a times, and many people have explained in their own ways what is love. But to feel that love is the best way of understanding it. Even if you explain or describe in all details, though it is described in all details, you cannot enjoy love without experiencing it. This experience comes to us because God, Himself, has placed within us the mechanism to absorb this love and to manifest it. It is a very delicate mechanism within us, extremely delicate. This mechanism is placed in our heart, and by our ignorance, so many times, we spoil this mechanism or disturb it, or sometimes even completely destroy it. The light of love is joy. Anything else cannot give you joy. It’s only the love that you feel in your heart gives you joy. This mechanism acts in seven layers within us. In the periphery of these seven layers, we have got ripples of this joy arising; they come to the shores of our brain and create the bubbles of joy. But again if the brain is a very rational rock then these bubbles dissolve, giving no effect to the rock. So a loving person is thousand times better than a rational person. But most of the people feel this love only on the periphery of the outermost layer, which is the light of the Mooladhara. As you know that Mooladhara Read More …

How to go beyond the ego and know yourself, Meditation Advice at Dollis Hill ashram, London (UK), 18 November 1979. But Sahaja Yoga is that triggering great happening by which the creation of God is going to get its fulfilment and is going to know its meaning – it is that great! Perhaps we do not realise it. But when we say, “We are Sahaja Yogis,” you have to know that, to be a Sahaja Yogi, how much identified you should be with the Truth of Sahaja Yoga, and so many misidentifications which are hanging on to you must be get rid of. People call it a sacrifice. I do not think it is a sacrifice. If you think something is hampering your way you’ll try to take out that hurdle. In the same way, if you stand out from your obstructions, you will be able to understand that these obstructions are standing in your way and they are not your own and that they are stopping your progress. So, you should get this misidentification out of your minds completely and try to be more and more your Self and not a misidentification. This is one the problems, I think, people have here. Whenever I get any complaints or anything, I understand that still the level of understanding about Sahaja Yoga is not up to that point. It is a tremendous task! And for that, if you are the people who have to come up and if you are the Read More …

How realisation should be allowed to develop Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

How Realisation should be allowed to develop, Public Program. Caxton Hall, London, England. 15 October 1979. Most of you are Sahaj Yogis here. Now those who have got Realisation, those who have felt the vibrations, must know that they are now developing into another being. The germination has started, and you must allow the germination to work out its own way. But normally, when we get Realisation also, we do not realise that it is a tremendous thing that has happened within us. That this triggering, which is an impossibility, has taken place within us, and it has to work out slowly. It has to develop, and evolve us into that, and because we do not feel it, we do not take it that seriously as we should, our Realisation. Moreover, they are surrounded by people who have not felt the vibrations, they do not know this area; they have never seen it. As Guru Nanak has called it, it is alakshya (आलक्ष्य: unobservable). They have not seen it, they don’t know about it, they don’t know there is a power of God that exists, which understands, coordinates, cooperates with you, which is working in the collective being, which makes aware, you aware of that collective being and of others also. This alakshya, or we can call it paroksha (परोक्ष:invisible), which is not seen by any one, which no one knows about, they talk about it. They talk about the Kingdom of God, they talk about God’s Powers, Divine Power. Read More …

7th Day of Navaratri Celebrations, Kundalini and Kalki Shakti Mumbai (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

7th Day of Navaratri Celebrations, “Kundalini and Kalki Shakti” Mumbai (India), 28 September 1979 Today I am going to address you in English language, as desired by you. Even tomorrow perhaps we may have to use this foreign language. Today’s subject is the relationship between Kundalini and Kalki. The word kalki actually is an abbreviation of the word nishkalanka. Nishkalanka means the same as My name is, which means nirmala — that it is a spotlessly clean thing. Something that is spotlessly clean is nishkalanka, without any spots on it. Now, this incarnation has been described in many Puranas: He will be coming on this Earth on a white horse, in a village of Sambalpur, they call it, Sambhalpur. Is very interesting how people take everything so literally. The word sambhala means: bhala is this forehead, sambhala means “at that stage”. That means Kalki is situated on your bhala. Bhala is the forehead, and here He is going to be born. That is the real meaning of the word Sambhalpur. In between Jesus Christ and His destroying incarnation of Mahavishnu, called as Kalki, there is a time given to human beings to rectify themselves, for them to enter into the Kingdom of God. Which in the Bible is called as Last Judgement — that you will be judged, all of you will be judged on this Earth. The population of the world is the maximum, they say, because all those, practically all those who had aspirations to enter into the Read More …

Agnya Chakra means: To order Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“Agnya chakra”, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 18 December 1978. Today we are talking about the sixth chakra called as Agnya Chakra. The ‘gya’, ‘gya’ word means ‘to know’, Agnya is to know. And ‘A’ means ‘the whole’. Agnya chakra also has another meaning. A-gya,  Agnya means ‘obedience’ or ‘to order’. It can mean both the things. If you order to someone it is an Agnya and the one who obeys the order is an Agnyakari. The one who does the Agnya. This sixth chakra was created in the human beings when he started thinking. Thinking is language expressed. If we do not have a language we cannot think. But it does not mean there is no thought coming into us. If we cannot express it, it does not mean there is no thought process working in us. But at that subtle stage when the thoughts are coming to us they are not in language, so they are not communicated to us, and that’s why if we do not have language we cannot understand what we are thinking. That’s why you must have seen children cannot communicate to us what they want because they cannot say what they are wanting. They feel the urge in the stomach and they want to ask for, say, water or something, but they can’t say it to us, and that’s why they cannot think what they have to say about. But afterwards when you start thinking and putting it into language, that language is stored in our brain as shown in the picture on Read More …

The Principle of Brahma Caxton Hall, London (England)

The Principle of Brahma, Caxton Hall, London (UK), 11 September 1978. Today I want to tell you about something, perhaps I have never touched that point before. Or I have not talked about it, that elaborately. It is about The Principle of Brahma: What is the principle of Brahma? How does It exist? How is It born? How does It manifest? And how, It is detached and also attached. The Principle of Brahma is different from Brahma Itself, in description. Like the principles that I follow, is different from what I am. It’s a very subtle subject and requires real meditative attention. So, all criticism of your minds, please put them off, as you have put off your shoes. Have you put off your shoes all of you? Please. And just listen with little, little subtler attention to Me. Can you come forward! You all can come forward so that those who will be coming later can come later on. Come along forward! I think better is to come forward, because we have no mic here. It’s better to come forward here. As the principles on which you are based are different from what you are, in the same way, the Principle of Brahma is different from the Brahma Itself, but is a Brahma and is contained in the Brahma. But the Brahma itself is sustained by the Principle. In dimension, you may say that Brahma is wider, larger and, you can call it even, deeper – but the subtler Read More …

Nabhi Chakra Regent Park Street Ashram, London (England)

Author1 Comment

Nabhi Chakra. February 1977 The Nabhi chakra, is placed at the center of gravity of every human being. If it is not there, that means it is going to be a little problem for you to get it in its right place. There is a kind of a trouble which most of you suffer from, is maybe due to drugs or maybe nervous problems, due to war, or maybe some sort of a shock to your sustenance. For example, during war people lost their values. Because they lost faith in God. Chaste women who believed in chastity were brutally assaulted. Very religious people were persecuted, families were broken, many men were killed and children, women, and old people were scattered. A very horrible atmosphere of insecurity overpowered all these nations.  Then came the concentration camps you see, also. Which shattered human beings because human beings are very delicate instruments. They are the coveted creations; they are the highest and they were dominated by things like bombs which are matter. Thus, the Spirit in man died out. People lost faith in righteousness, in love. Then a new pattern of securities were built up. The industrial revolution followed it as a result and the artificial sense of joy, of security, of love was accepted by the society. This is what man did with his freedom because wars are created by man. This is not God’s doing. But along with it, very great seeking souls took their birth on this Earth. They started Read More …

Now the quality of attention changes according to the state of your evolution. For example, in an animal… So where is the attention placed in the human being? It is not a fixed point. You can say, attention is the surface or the edge of awareness. Wherever we are made aware, the attention gets diverted to that point. If you can find some analogy, all the files (filings) of iron have got a power to be attracted towards the magnet. Where is that power, you cannot locate – it is all over. Wherever the magnet is placed the files are attracted. Our attention is also like that, that wherever we are attracted, our attention goes there. It is existing in the whole body, in the sense that it can be diverted anywhere, outside the body. Also inside the body, in case if there is any pain or there is any trouble. It floats over the nerves, it floats over the whole nervous system, but there is a controlling centre in the brain. If it is hit then we can remain conscious, but without any attention. Also, if somebody is hit on the Vishuddhi Chakra, it can happen. It can happen even in the lower chakras if somebody is hit. That portion will lose its attention because you cannot feel, in that part. The difference is this, that Read More …

The Spirit (Location Unknown)

The Spirit 01 Jan 1977. [The Spirit is] the most precious thing that we have within ourselves. The preciousness of your Spirit is immeasurable and that’s why it is called as a thing of eternal value – because it is infinite. You cannot measure [it]. Now God, The Almighty, we say is Sat-Chit-Anand.  ‘Sat’ means ‘the Truth’. The truth we understand in human terminology is relative.  But the Sat I am telling you [about] is the Absolute from where all the relations start. Example I will tell you how to understand [it]: This Earth has got oceans and rivers and all kinds of waters, you can say. But Earth is enveloping all of them. If the Mother Earth was not there, there could not have been any of these existing.  So we can say that Mother Earth is the support of all the things that exist on her. She is enveloping us. In the atoms she exists. In the big mountains she exists. Because the elements are part of that Earth.  In the same way God Almighty, the Sat part of Him, the Truth, is the support of all the things that are created or not created. Another example you try to understand: how the Sat is the Purusha, is the God, who does not take actual part in The Creation itself but is a catalyst. The example can be like this: that I am doing all the work, I am creating everything but I have a light in my Read More …

The Role of Tongue, Sight and Feet in Spiritual Evolution New Delhi (India)

Author1 Comment

“The Role of Tongue, Sight and Feet in Spiritual Evolution”. Delhi (India), 2 April 1976. I was telling about how difficult it is to be a Mother and a Guru, because both are very contradictory functions. And specially for a person who wants to be in charge of your salvation, to be the Moksha Dayini, it is extremely difficult. Because the path is so delicate and so treacherous that all of you have to come yourself, walk across. And if you fall this side or that side there is disaster for you. I am watching your climbing, and I see you coming up, with a Mother’s heart and a Guru’s hand. And then I get the glimpses of people falling. I try to tell them, “Come up”. Sometimes I shout, sometimes I pull them up, sometimes I love them, caress them. You can yourself judge, within yourself, how much I have worked on you, how much I have loved you. But how much do you love yourself is the point. I have told you that, for a Sahaja Yogi, the whole thing should be decided by the witnessing power. Now the witnessing power is silent, it doesn’t talk. If you are a very talkative person, then it’s not going to help you much. You have to come in balance. For the first time in this incarnation I have started talking, and I get so troubled because I am not used to this kind of talking. So, for you people, it Read More …

Gudi Padwa, Meditation in thoughtless awareness New Delhi (India)

Author5 Comments

Gudi Padwa, “Meditation in thoughtless awareness”. Delhi (India), 30 March 1976. We cannot meditate; we only can be in meditation. When we say we are going to meditate it has no meaning. We have to be in meditation. Either you are inside the house or outside the house. You cannot be inside the house and then say that: “Now I’m outside the house.” Or when you are outside the house you cannot say: “I’m inside the house.” In the same way, you are moving in three dimensions of your life – of emotional and physical and mental being. You are not inside yourself. But when you are inside that you are in thoughtless awareness. Then, not only that you are there, but you are everywhere, because that is the place, that is the point where you are really in universal… From there you are in contact with the Principle, with the Shakti, with the Power that permeates into every particle that is matter, into every thought that is emotion, into every planning and thinking of the whole world. You permeate into all the elements that have created this beautiful Earth. You permeate into earth; you permeate into Akasha [sky, ether], into teja [light], into sound. But your movement is very slow. Then you say: “I’m meditating,” that means you are moving in permeation with the Universal Being. But you are not moving yourself, you are just unloading yourself to be free from the weight of things that do not allow Read More …

Shri Krishna Puja: Most Dynamic Power of Love Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai (India)

Author1 Comment

28 August 1973, Shri Krishna Puja, Most Dynamic Power of Love, Mumbai (India) … by the Divine. For example, if I know only my head, that is not sufficient. If I know only my neck, that is not sufficient. If I know only my legs, that is not sufficient. But the more I know about myself, the more dynamic I become, the more expansive I become. And all the great that existed — or all the people who were called as great — are great because they lived in many human beings. I feel that warmth in the atmosphere, as you are feeling because you know they are not foreigners, they are your brothers and sisters. There are so many stories in Puranas like this, that… I will not name it, but once two brothers met in a jungle. But they thought that they were enemies, and they wanted to fight with each other. And when they came to blows, they couldn’t hit each other. Then they took out their arrows — the arrows wouldn’t work. They were quite surprised at this, and when they asked each other, “Who is your mother?”, they found out mother was the same. And then they realized that they were not foreigners neither enemies but they were made of the same fibre. What sweetness, what beauty that knowledge has given them! And what security of understanding that everywhere in the whole world we have brothers and sisters, who are on their inner being, on Read More …
