1984-07-24 You have to take to it little seriously, Brighton, England, DP-RAW I don’t know how she {unclear}, I said alright, we just pray and give her a bandhan. Now the prayers work. Because when they go home, they find the mother is in a different mood, father in a different mood in a very loving manner. You can change people and we are surprised (of) how they start liking you, they are quite amazed. You are so much {unclear: eased} You give-up your habits completely because your own master. Nobody, no habit can dominate you. Your habits just drop off. We had an experience here in Brighton, there was a gentleman who came and shouted at me because he was drunk. Next day he came and now, he is a beautiful person. We have so many experiences like that. When they were drunk or drugged or something they came and shouted at me and then they are alright. There are people who came from groups and things, and they were mocking at me making fun at me and today they are sitting here. Because this is the love, the power of love that acts, it acts. And that is what it is called now that the Kaliyuga the worst part of the modern times is over. Now the Krutayuga has started. And in this Krutayuga, in this new age, it will be done, perfected and completed. Kruta means that done, perfected and completed. And that’s what is going to Read More …

Knowledge of the Roots, Talk to Students University of Sussex, Falmer (England)

Public Program, University of Sussex, Falmer near Brighton, United Kingdom, 1983-0525 Public Program, University of Sussex, Falmer near Brighton, United Kingdom, 1983-0525 I was really very happy to learn that Sussex University Sahaja Yoga centre has been very kind to invite me to speak to them. It’s such a pleasure to talk to the students because they are the ones who have always been, in any country, been responsible for any new step, whether it was political, economic or social, which was to be taken boldly. Students are the people who have their idealism intact still and when they are studying, they don’t get biased easily. They keep their minds open to every knowledge because they are new to it, but those who become experts can become very biased, very conditioned by what they read or they think to be right. But the students can also be very much vulnerable, because they do not know whether whatever new comes to them is the truth or some sort of falsehood. So, at this life, when you are a student, you have to be very careful to understand that if you have to seek the truth, you have to be alert about it. First and foremost thing, as students we enter into university. It’s a beautiful name ‘University’ meaning that you get all the knowledge of the universe and when you enter into university, you come with an open mind and with an understanding that whatever you have to learn in the Read More …

Why we were made human beings? The Friends Meeting House in Bristol, Bristol (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

1982-10-20 Bristol Public Program Part 1, The Friends Meeting House in Bristol, Bristol (UK), 20 October 1982 Why not come in front? It’s better. Today again, I’m back. Here in Bristol, we had other programs also before. I feel people are not yet aware as to why they are on this earth and why there are so many problems with them, why this world is on the brink of destruction and what is their role as human beings to save it. There are seekers, I know; in Bristol also we have lots of seekers. Lots of them are seekers. If they were not, you would not have had so many false gurus, who made lot of money out of you, had Rolls-Royces and big things, and give you stories; it would not have been possible. And they must be genuine seekers, [UNCLEAR]. I think there are seekers who are very genuine, who are seeking something beyond that will give them the joy, the bliss, the Kingdom of Heaven as promised. But the problem is, we do not know what we have to seek, first of all. Secondly, why, why do we have to seek? Why do we feel that we have to seek something? We should pay attention to these two questions. And then you’ll be amazed that the time today is such — the modern times are such — that at this time anything can happen. The whole Creation can be destroyed. Now, why are we on this earth, Read More …

It is Eternal Life Hampstead (England)

It is Eternal Life, Public Programme, Hampstead Town Hall, Hampstead, London (UK) It is such a pleasure, again, to come to Hampstead and to the town hall of Hampstead. Hampstead has a special place in the play of the Divine. Perhaps the people living in Hampstead do no know the significance of this place. But we know there have been great poets who have been created out of the beautiful atmosphere of this area and one of them was William Blake* who has said a lot about the future ascent of man. He is one of the greatest seers of modern times, I should say. Into such  details he has gone that it is surprising how a human being could reach that height of understanding of the Divine laws. We understand the laws that are made by human beings. These laws also have come to us through our unconscious, through that great energy within us which inspires: how to regulate our lives, how to improve and how to give the basics, [the] required securities in life. The whole social structure was based on the laws that we received from the unconscious. If human beings think that they have got these through their mental projection, they are sadly mistaken. Whatever you project through your mental effort is actually dead. It’s already there; whatever is known to you is in the library, you have to just read it. But whatever new has to be known comes to you through the unconscious. This Read More …

What we should expect from Self-realisation? Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“What We Should Expect From Self-realisation”, Public Program, Caxton Hall, 13 September 1982 Gavin Brown: Mother, with your permission, I’d like to say one small message from the Sahaja Yogis. We have been very excited to hear today news that your brother has been appointed to the position of Minister of information for India. It’s such a great blessing for that country to have a man of such dharmic nature in that position of importance. I’d like to express our joy with this news. Shri Mataji: Last night, I was talking about Self-Realization, our ascent into the unconscious and what should we expect to be Self-realized. Self-Realization, as I told you the other day, has to be felt in your central nervous system. It’s an actualisation. It’s not a fantasy, it’s not a fantastic stuff that people talk of, that you went into a sort of ecstasy and you are floating in the clouds — that’s not Self-Realization. We have to give up our ideas of fantasy. We have to live with the truth and reality which is really beautiful and wonderful. So, first of all, we should be very honest about it, that Self-Realization has to be something that we should feel on our central nervous system. As we have felt our evolution, actually on our central nervous system, like we are human beings. If we are human beings, we feel all that is human on our central nervous system. It is not that we feel about it in Read More …

You are the Spirit thumbnail

You are the Spirit Hampstead Town Hall Centre, Hampstead (England)

Public Program. Hampstead Town Hall, London (UK), 28 November 1981. It is such a pleasure today – and great fortune that here, where William Blake * lived, and He sang those songs of the greatness of this country, the future that it has to be, the dreams He saw, have now come to shape, that we are here to celebrate His anniversary. Things go beyond words and you cannot express yourself. Many people do not understand Him because He wrote it, according to them, in abstract language or in the language that He understood. But I am happy that Sahaja Yogis understand Him so well, and the prophesies that He made about England. People used to ridicule, ridicule it. Even today they can’t believe that Jerusalem can be built in England.They cannot believe that people who have been all their lives, for ages together, thought of nothing but materialism, can take to spirituality to this extent that it becomes Jerusalem, and that the whole world comes to pay homage to this Holy Land, that this becomes the Holy Land. Is a fact, He dreamt, He wished it, because He knew the value of this land. This land has been touched by Christ’s feet. Since long, people knew about Kundalini. Even if that is lost, for history it remains it and He knew about it, He spoke about it. In His lifetime, maybe, people never understood him – they must have thought that He’s really a madman, or something, a fantasy, Read More …
