What is spirituality? New York City (United States)

AuthorLeave a comment

1995-10-06 Public Program, New York I bow to all the seekers of the truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. You cannot change it. You cannot transform it. It is to be known through your ascent. Unfortunately, at this human awareness we do not know the truth, the absolute truth. What we know is relative truth and that’s why all the problems there are between human beings between countries and the whole world. It’s very important that we have to realise that really we don’t know the absolute truth. America is a very fortunate country in a way that it has prosperity but as a result I have found that many people came to this country who thought there is a good market for marketing spirituality. We must know we cannot market spirituality. You cannot sell it in the market. You cannot have a kind of a prescription for it. So what is spirituality? Now what do we have to gain and why should we be spiritual. These are common questions one can ask. American lifestyle as you know has been that they want to enjoy every moment of their life, this way or that way. Their idea is such that we should enjoy every moment of life, a very good idea but when you look at the way they enjoy one finds that all these enjoyment but actually it is self destructive. All the time we are using our energy for Read More …

1989-08-20 Moscow Public Program  I can see in this country and in any western country. the world has gone very far in the material development. And Lenin also had believed that when we will have material {inaudible} we will be satisfied with the matter. Then we will have a stateless state. and that’s what happened to you people you are very satisfied people in a way and very peaceful also you have balanced your life very well and you are leading quite a balanced life. And also your government very nicely has given you a balance by now say removing things like alcohol and all those things which can cause problems. It is very very wise government I should say that way that it has disciplined you like small children. but now when you will start gradually getting your freedom how will you ever to keep the balance it’s the point. moreover one start thinking that we have everything now but still there is no joy in our life. As in the West, I asked many people why do you take drugs why do you divorce why do you take to so much of alcoholism and they said we get bored with life we get fed up with life we don’t feel any interest anymore like in a country like Switzerland and Norway which are very very rich countries people are just committing suicide. so one must see what the reason. The reason is this that all these countries have grown like big trees and they have not Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Why We Are Not Growing? (Evening) Ashram in Le Raincy, Le Raincy (France)

Author1 Comment

1985-04-23 Talk To French Sahaja Yogis in Le Raincy ashram, Paris, France. Talk 1 Audio starts here Shri Mataji: So we’ll call her Gauri, all right? Gauri. Sahaja Yogi: It’s a boy’s Mother. Shri Mataji: It’s a boy? [Laughter] Oh, it’s a boy! Boy, what happened! So we can have the Gauri Kumar. It’s a name of Ganesha. Son of Gauri Kumar. He’s smiling. Acha, he looks like a boy, I was thinking- [Laughter] Gauri Kumar. All right. Sahaja Yogi: [In French: please move that everyone can come in and see Shri Mataji] Sahaja Yogi: I brought your shawl. Shri Mataji: Yes, thank you Shri Mataji: Now, we have many Sahaja Yogis here who have been also married in France, and there will be more coming down to be with you all, to strengthen the centre in Paris and other places. I feel that this year has not been very good for Sahaja Yogis, and there has not been much growth as it should have been. I don’t know why but it is always to be understood that when Sahaja Yoga does not expand there’s some sort of a negativity in the Sahaja Yogis, because all the nature, everything works out for you. As soon as you change, the whole atmosphere changes and you get a big response from outside. I’ll give you an example of England now. In England we had one girl- lady, as you know , Gavin’s wife, who was very negative. And since she’s gone away, Read More …

Questions and Answers About America, Delhi, India 1983-02-10 Yogi: We’ll be asking pretty much the same questions as we did the other day. We’ll need answers that are one or two minutes long.Shri Mataji: Two minutes only? That’s a large country like America.Yogi: If it’s too long then we can edit it. (Shri Mataji looks at the questions.)• What is the importance of self realization?• Why is it important to receive self realization?• What are vibrations?• What can the West learn from the Indians and Indians from the West? Shri Mataji: This India vs. West is too controversial. Learn from India nothing and India should learn nothing from you. They’re all in the same melting pot.Brian, did you hear me? Nothing to learn from the Indians on the gross level and nothing to learn from the west. Both are in the same melting pot. One is developed and one is developing. What do you say? Yogi: On the spiritual level, then, Mother? Shri Mataji: What do you think about Indians’ spiritual level? is zero? What is it? Yogi: Well the aspirations, what is still preserved in this country?Shri Mataji- If I have to talk to Americans, they’re ego oriented. They’ll feel hurt. Better not say India is anything greater than they have. Yogi: Mother, you’re being the diplomat of the diplomats. Shri Mataji: Our main object is to get them into Sahaja Yoga, isn’t it? Not to blast them. So let us avoid subjects which will challenge their ego. Why Read More …

Sahaja Yoga: a spontaneous happening within us, of union with God. Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program. Maccabean Hall Sydney 22 March 1981 To all the seekers of truth. It’s such a pleasure to come to this great country where there are so many seekers. So many seekers are born in these modern times. There were never born so many, any time before. For example at the time of Christ, He had to gather crowds of people but they had no seeking, they just listened to Him because they felt it was something new.  Today, the time has come where many seekers have taken their birth all over the world and they are seeking. This is a fact one has to accept, there’s no hypocrisy about it. Some people don’t understand that the seeking is there and that whatever they’re doing, right or wrong, actually they are seeking within themselves. Today, in the beginning, I will give you a broad line of Sahaja Yoga, the one that means a spontaneous happening within us, of union with God. It’s easy to talk about it, anybody can talk about it. First, when I went to America, people said you must get a patent on your lectures Mother.  I just smiled at them. I said, what’s the matter? They said they might use your words and use the same things for their own purpose and maybe that they’ll do a lot of harm to you, I said it’s nice, let them talk about it because that’s what has to happen, people have to know about it, what is Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis Bala's house, Birmingham (England)

Talk to Sahaja Yogis. Bala’s, Birmingham (UK), 16 June 1979. Shri Mataji: Are you better now? So all the centres which are in you or in anyone, are reflections of the centres of the Primordial being. Alright? Supposing that Primordial Being takes a Human form, ?? That the completion of that was done when Krishna came ?? Sampurna?. But still for human beings it was necessary to be resurrected so his son was Christ, his own son, that was why he was called as Christ, from Krishna, Christ. And he came on this earth to show you how to fulfil the description about Divine Power that was given to us by Krishna, that it cannot be killed by any weapon, it cannot be blown by any strong winds, it cannot be cut, it is immortal. That’s why the embodiment of that immortal principle of Brahma was Christ, came on this earth. That’s why ? and Krishna placed him higher than him, if you read the Devi Mahatmayam that you find ? the incarnation of Mahavishnu he called him Mahavishnu, his own son was called as Mahavishnu and that was Christ, ? I have been with all of them, and with Krishna ? And now I have come as a Mother as only a Mother can do this job, it’s a very difficult job it requires a lot of patience Krishna can’t do it, he is not ? Though he plays tricks with you. So I had to come and Krishna Read More …

Seminar Day 1, Questions and Answers, Advice to Realised Souls Bordi (India)

Author1 Comment

Advice to Realised Souls, Bordi (India), 26 January 1977. I’ll try to cover most of the points that you have asked but I must say that I was very happy to hear most of the questions because that shows that your enquiry is getting subtler and subtler; that you already know about the gross side of chakras and now you want to know the subtler forms. Now the first question, which should be taken up first, is the one – “How the chakras come into human beings? What time? What stage of life?” because that should be the first question. This question is something like if we ask, “What time a primule comes into the being of a seed?” is something like that, that, a human being, when he dies – as I have told you before, he does not die fully – only a part of him dies, which is mostly the Earth element, and the rest of the elements remain there. The rest of the body disappears and we can’t see it because it is not a complete human form. It goes on decreasing in size and the Kundalini leaves the body and stays outside, outside the body. And the Atma, what we call the Spirit, also leaves the body, and stays outside the body, which is the remaining body. The constitution of this new body is different from our constitution. A light that is extinguished has all the body except for the light. But the light goes Read More …
