Adi Shakti Puja: The Fruit of Knowledge Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)

Author5 Comments

Shri Adi Shakti Kundalini Puja. Cabella Ligure (Italy), 6 June 1993. Today we are all going to worship Me – first time. It has always been the puja of an aspect of Me or a part of Me. Now, one has to know very clearly what is Adi Shakti.As we say, it is the pure desire of God Almighty, of Sadashiva. But what is the pure desire of God Almighty? If you see your own desires, come out of what? Not out of the Divine love but out of carnal love, out of material love, out of power love. Behind all these desires there is love.If you do not love something you will not desire it. So, these mundane types of love that you have, for which we spend so much of our time uselessly, actually they do not give you satisfaction, because that is not true love that you have. Just infatuation for the time being, and then you just get fed up with it, and from there you jump to another thing, to another thing, to another thing. So, Adi Shakti is the embodiment of God’s Divine Love, is God’s pure love, and in his love what did He desire? He desired that He should create human beings, who would be very obedient, would be sublime, would be like angels. And that was His idea: to create Adam and Eve. So, angels have no freedom, angels are made like that. They are fixed, they don’t know why they Read More …

Seminar Day 1, Introspection and Meditation Shudy Camps Park, Shudy Camps (England)

Advice, “Introspection and Meditation”. Shudy Camps (UK), 18 June 1988. This year we won’t be having I think, public programs in UK, because also there are certain circumstances. But whenever there is a circumstance which, somehow or other, changes our programs, we must immediately know that there is a purpose behind all that change, and we must immediately accept it with an open heart that Divine wants us to change. Supposing I am going on a road and people say, “You are lost your way Mother.” That’s all right. I am never lost because I am with myself! (Laughter.) I had to go by that particular road, is the point. I had to do it, and that’s why I have, supposed to be not on that road and I have lost my way. If you have that kind of a understanding, and if you have that satisfaction in your heart, then you’ll find life is worth much more than what you think it to be. Now, as it is, what was the reason, I thought, that we have decided to have public programs this year definitely, and we could not have public programs? So, the reason is that we have to consolidate. In the growth of a tree, which is a living tree, it happens that it moves in a particular direction up to a point till it has to change, because there is no sun coming that side, maybe there is no water levels arriving, so they start changing. In the same Read More …

Evening Program, Talk (after Marriages) and Meditation for Right Side Residence of Madhukar Dhumal, Rahuri (India)

Then you wont feel the strain, because going back I know what it is to travel. So how was the experience here were you happy— and all the married couples are they happy, you look so nice and so beautiful, now i’ve given quite a big lecture this morning I think and I didn’t talk much about it, but we have to develop personality that’s important. That personality which is of course inside, you are growing very much, but in relationship with that personality, you have to develop a personality which is, dignified, which is impressive, which makes feel, other’s happy, because from you they will judge, if you are frivolous and if you are cheapish type, even because of may be your age whatever it is, still people will start thinking that something wrong with these people.  So, we have to develop personality, a personality which is inside us, is that of your spirit and that is so dignified, so beautiful and so natural, but naturalness never means frivolity or stupidity it doesn’t means that.Naturally a human being, even an animal is sensible thing, so human beings are naturally very sensible, very loving, happy, joyous and good creation of God, but it is not yet known to Sahaja Yogi’s that your personality impresses others much more than your talk about Sahaja Yoga.  Like Dhumal went a office of collector and the way he was talking, the way he was handling, the way he was so natural and so good Read More …

A New Era - Sacrifice, Freedom, Ascent thumbnail

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

Author1 Comment

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 …

Practical session with Sahaja yogis, Bramham Court Ashram, Brahmam Gardens, London, UK, 29th October 1981. Shri Mataji: All right? Good, good. How are you? How is the Baby? YOGINI: It feels good. SHRTI MATAJI: [Shri Mataji laughs] Hmm. Yeah. How to keep the [INDIST.]. Hallo! We give a Bandhan. Really I have forgotten. What was that about? Hmm? [to the Baby:] No, no, no, nolu, nolu, hoho. Hoho, oh ho. [all laugh] Oh. Oh. Oh. Haha. Haha. [all laugh] Aha. Haa? Aha, haa … BABY: Hm. [all laugh] Shri Mataji: He like it. [Baby breezes loudly]Yesterday’s picture upset Me so much, I couldn’t sleep the whole night. Horrifying – in one city there are three thousand children on the list who are battered and out of which every week six are killed. Can you imagine? Six are killed every week – I mean shame-full it is, I tell you. I used to think in the whole of England. It is only in one city. In Birmingham I think it was. Three-thousand children on the list and every week six are killed. Yogi: Now what use to work for the NSPCC Mother? The national, that is the national society for the prevention of cruelty to children. Shri Mataji: Ah, where? Yogi: And my wife used to work for them and …. Shri Mataji: Where was that? YOGINI: In London but it [INDIST.] country. Shri Mataji: Ah? YOGINI: [INDIST.] here to London [INDIST.] Shri Mataji: In London it is a? Yogi: Yes. Read More …

Attention London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Attention. Dollis Hill, London (England), 26 May 1980. Today I am going to talk to you about attention: what is attention, what is the movement of attention and what are the ways and methods of raising our attention. Keep it in broad ways. Alright? But when I am saying all these things you must know that I am talking to you individually – it’s not about others. Always the first thing human beings do is, when I am speaking to you, you try to find out about who Mataji is speaking! This is the best way of putting your attention onto something else. If you put your attention to yourself that, “This is for me and me and me alone,” then it will have an effect, because these [words of mine] are mantras. And that’s why it is wasted because whatever is given to you is thrown onto another person. So the attention, that you have, is the only way to know the reality. Your own attention is important, not the attention of others or your attention on others! This must be clearly understood. If you understand this point that the whole thing is to be consumed by you, through your attention to raise yourself to a higher situation, it will work out. Otherwise, it is like giving food to you and going to another person who is getting nourished, while you are getting nothing. And that person also may not be able get nourished, because he doesn’t know that Read More …

How to go beyond the ego and know yourself, Meditation London (England)

Author1 Comment

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 …
