I bow to all the seekers of truth.
At the very outset we have to understand that truth is what it is. We cannot conceptualize
it. We cannot organize it. And we cannot use it for our own purposes. Moreover, with the
blinkers on both the sides like a horse, with all our conditionings, we cannot find the
truth. We have to be free people. We have to be open-minded people, like scientists,
to see for ourselves what is the truth. If somebody preaches something, professes something,
says something, is not to be accepted blindfolded. As I told you yesterday, that the essence
of all the religions is to find the eternal and to treat the transitory in its own understanding
and in its own limitations. That’s why we have lost our balance. If we are really the
people who want to know the truth, we have to know that at human awareness we cannot
know it. It becomes a concept.
You have to have the spiritual awareness, but spiritual awareness is a state of your
being, where you become the spirit. Again the word I’ll say – “become.” It’s
not artificially certifying somebody that now you have become a Hindu or a Christian
or a Muslim, you become anything. Because you may be a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, anything,
you can commit any sin. You can do anything that is wrong. Nothing from inside is going
to stop you. So all these things have become so much outward that now there are people
who have started saying there is no God, there is nothing like religion, which is not true.
First of all when we say there is nothing, or there is not God, we should find out, have
we been able to find out about it or just in our ego we are saying there is no God?
Have we been able to work it out to see if there is God or not? You do not judge God
by the people who talk about God. Anybody can talk about God because they think there’s
no law that can catch them. They can talk against Him, they can talk for Him, they can
do the way they like. They can even make money by talking against God and against all the
prophets – that’s a very good way of making money, blackmail. But does that mean that
whatever is written is a bible, or whatever is black and white, is to be taken that seriously?
So first of all, we have to be little independent to be free, to know that if you have to know
the spirit - as they said “know thyself” - then you have to know it on your central
nervous system. As I can feel this is cold or hot, you have to feel the divine power
which is all-pervading, which is the truth, which manifests the truth, because it is the
love of God. You have to first feel it on your central nervous system, which is the
bodha.
Now one may say that in the West we have advanced so much, all right. We have gone too far with
everything. But if we see, when we started with science, what have we produced? Hydrogen
bomb, atom bomb, all kinds of devils sitting on our heads. You take to any enterprise that
we did, we go to extremes. There is no balance. Any mental projection is linear, it moves
in one line and then recoils back, and then you are shocked. Now you have got acid rain.
You produced machinery, all right. Machinery is for you, you are not for machinery. And
thus, there is no balance between you and the machinery, no balance between you and
the science. It is just like going amok with anything that you get into your hand. And
this balance you can only have when you become the spirit. You see beautiful chandeliers
here, beautifully made, but unless and until there is light what is the meaning of these
chandeliers? Nothing. In the same way, if you do not have the light of the spirit shining
in your attention, you will not know your meaning. Like this instrument – unless and
until it is connected to the mains, it is useless. Unless and until we are connected
to the mains, we do not know the absolute, and that’s why all these problems are there.
Now when I am talking about this instrument, which lies within us, one has to again know
that this is the knowledge of the roots. And to know the knowledge of the roots, you have
to become a subtler personality. With a gross mind, you cannot see it. To become the subtler
personality, minimum of minimum, you have to know that so far you have not known the
roots. If you had known, there would be no problem. But there’s something has gone
wrong somewhere in every human enterprise, even in religions, that’s why today we find
this kind of a farce going on. And what is gone wrong is that we have to seek the eternal.
Maybe it might look a little different, for example Buddha and Mahavira did not talk about
God at all. I also did not talk about God for four years, at least three years. As soon
as you talk of God, again people start jumping, “When can we become God?” – this is
the first question.
So first you become the self –the first step. That’s why they did not talk. They
said first you become yourself. Unless and until you have your eyes, how can you see
the colors? So first have your eyes. It is for your benevolence that you better get what
you deserve, what is your own. It’s your birthright as a human being to become the
spirit. That is what Sahaja Yoga is – Saha means “with” and ja is “born.” Born
with you is the right to get this yoga, is the union with the Divine. It’s your birthright
as a human being. You are as I told you at the epitome of evolution. And it has to work
out, but please open your hearts and open your minds. Just open it and see for yourself,
it will work, I know. Yesterday it has worked. It is going to work out today also. But by
thinking about it, you cannot conceptualize. This is the biggest problem of our seeking
that we run after some sort of a concept.
Now here you have seen this instrument is the most beautiful instrument that is created
within us during the process of our evolution. The first one is the most beautiful one because
it stands for our innocence. This innocence is the one which gives us real support, real
strength. And you’ll be surprised it is never destroyed. It may be overshadowed, there
may be clouds. Maybe it may look to be a very dark sky. Maybe a hopeless case. Some people
might say that we have destroyed our innocence. It cannot be destroyed. Whatever you might
have done, this is one center which cannot be destroyed. You may have problems with it
but it cannot be destroyed. It is such a wonderful center you have got, which has got four petals,
which looks after the pelvic plexus, looks after all the excretion within us.
In our own freedom, so-called, we do all kinds of things which may not be benevolent for
ourselves, doesn’t matter. Kundalini cannot be destroyed - the source which is going to
give you the self-realization, I say She is your individual Mother. And this Mother is
such a loving Mother and She knows each and everything about you - from your past, from
your past lives - She knows you very well. She is just waiting for a chance that She
can be awakened and She can give you your second birth. When you were born, your mother
suffered for you – you did not suffer.
So to say that Kundalini awakening gives this kind of a nonsense and that kind of a nonsense
is all falsehood. Absolutely falsehood. And it is so absurd that how can a mother give
you problems? I mean, I don’t know about some mothers are funny also – that’s all
human problems. But this is a Divine Mother. She’s not going to give you trouble. But
these problems that have come are coming from people who have no authority, who have no
education, who do not know what Kundalini is. Some say it is in the stomach, some say
in the head, some say in the legs. Those who have no character of their own, because they
have to be pure people themselves, try all kinds of nonsensical tricks and create problems
on the sympathetic nervous system and they call it as something that it is the problem
of the Kundalini. Kundalini will never give you any problems. On the contrary, when She
rises and when you get your awakening, the first thing that is established is thoughtless
awareness.
For when a thought rises, falls, another thought rises, falls, and the Kundalini makes the
thoughts smaller and in between at the present. It makes you stop in the present and you grow
in the present, and the thoughts, if you want to think you can think, if you don’t want
to think, it is not like a madhouse going on all the time, you don’t know how to stop
it. This works out with the Kundalini’s awakening when She crosses this center of
ours, which we call as Agnya chakra.
Now we should not have, again I say, blinkers about Christ. Let us see what people have
to say about Christ in other shastras and scriptures. Who was He? Because people did
not allow Him to manifest for more than four years and in four years what can you do? You
cannot do anything. I must tell you in London I came, My husband was selected for a job
and that’s how we are here, and for four years I was struggling with seven of them,
just struggling. Giving realization was such a difficult subject to the English people
at that time. They are hard nuts, I know. But once they break, they are the best. I
think the best are the hardest. And it worked, it clicked.
I am surprised that I had to work very hard but they are such a foundation of Sahaja Yoga.
Immediately they went all out and very scholarly also – a lot of scholarship in them. Found
out all about Kundalini, everything from wherever – your libraries are so well-equipped. And
I was surprised, it was all there. They studied Sanskrit. Now can you imagine these people
English singing Sanskrit song with that speed? They could not even say one sentence in Hindi
when they were in India. Three hundred years they were there, they could not speak one
sentence you will be surprised. We had to tell them in English how to speak Hindi. Like
you have to say “open the door” – is in Hindi, is darwaja khol do. They couldn’t
say it. So we had to say, “there was a banker” or something like that – means “close
the door” – “there was a banker.” They couldn’t speak Hindi. Sanskrit is very
far off. And now look at them, what has happened to them. And Indian music is such a difficult
music, you have to really, it is a question of penance, tremendous penance. Now we have
people who play beautiful tabla, beautiful instruments not only but sing so well. Swiss,
the hardest nuts you can ever think of, they are - you’ll be amazed the Swiss the way
they sing, tremendous manifestation in such a short time. Of course they can also sing
English very well, they know English music very well, or should say Western music very
well. But to learn this difficult melodies of India is remarkable. I am myself surprised
at this.
So what happens in the second center when it enters, you just become dynamic, because
the second center is for aesthetics and for creativity. Now we have, like My brother who
was a chartered accountant, he was very bad at all the languages. Very bad, of course
Sanskrit was out of question. Now he is making poetry in Sanskrit and in Urdu language and
also in Marathi, which is the most difficult language. This is the second center. When
Kundalini nourishes that center, like a very beautiful Mother she nourishes. You must have
heard about some great artists – Amjad Ali, he was here – after realization he became
such a great artist. There are so many artists. In India, they understand. They want to sing
before Me. I mean I don’t know how to say that now only one person can sing. Because
their Kundalini goes up, and the creativity becomes so tremendously active and so dynamic.
At the same time, that person becomes very mild, very sweet, very compassionate. Like
there’s one great singer. She’s a Muslim lady, I will not name her.
She wanted to sing and she sent Me word, “Please allow me to sing in Your birthday.”
And I said, “All right, give her a chance.”
So she came down. And the lady who was playing harmonium – she came and told Me, “This
lady is just an atom bomb, You don’t know how she gets angry if there’s one note I
play wrong.”
I saw her but she was very silently playing – nothing doing, she never got angry with
anyone. So in the interval, this lady comes and tells Me, “That see in Your presence,
I don’t know what has happened to this lady. This tiger has become like a cow. How is it?”
I said, “See her Kundalini has come up.”
So this violence, this anger, this temper is not your creation, it’s the creation
of your liver. Your liver is little out of order because of many things, and the temper
is there. Now when the temper is too much, you don’t know what to do. I mean you can
do whatever you like. In your temper after all, it’s like a drunken personality. You
have to approach a person in a temper with a barge pole. But all this temper, everything,
becomes so cool and so beautiful. It’s very surprising. A very dynamic person becomes
extremely compassionate, extremely compassionate, and I’ve had such beautiful experiences
of their compassion that it’s not easy to describe.
Now also they say that there are certain nationalities which has got a trait like this and a trait
like that, everything dissolves. Everything dissolves because of this center which is
so creative and which also gives you the manifestation of pure knowledge - pure knowledge. For example
you start feeling on your finger tips – you just start feeling on your finger tips. Like
today only, somebody came and told Me, “That Mataji my Agnya is catching.” Agnya is this
center - means “I’ve got my ego on.” Will anybody say like that? On the contrary
if you tell somebody, “You have got your ego,” they’ll show you that they have
their ego on. It’s very dangerous to say to somebody that your ego is on. But just
because of self knowledge - pure knowledge - you know that this Mr. Ego is sitting here
and I cannot cross through and there’s a blockage here, which I have to take it out.
It’s so innate within you, everything, only thing is your connection has to be made.
Once the connection is made, immediately you know about yourself. And this center which
is responsible for creating all kinds of funny thoughts and horrible creativity becomes so
benevolent, so soothing, so beautiful.
Apart from that, as I told you just now, these people who could not even say one word in
Hindi language have started singing Sanskrit and this - specially the one they sang, the
first one - many Indians cannot sing that way I can tell you, they can’t. It’s not
easy. It’s a very great tongue twister first of all the language is. Apart from that, to
sing in such a correct pronunciation is so difficult but they have done it. So in Sahaja
Yoga, an artist who is struggling today may become a great artist tomorrow. But still
I would say these are temptations. You’ll become a great artist, you’ll start earning
more money, this, that…but that’s not the one. You have to really be satisfied with,
you will never be satisfied with that.
So you move to the third center which we call as the Nabhi chakra. This center is, on one
side, is made of water and another side with fire. Around it are our ten valencies, which
we can call as our innate religion within ourselves. Now this Nabhi itself - or we can
call the solar plexus or we can say the Navel chakra - gives us, as soon as the Kundalini
rises, she awakens this and the light when it spreads, you become religious. I don’t
have to tell you anything, you just become. I don’t have to say that you don’t take
drugs. You just don’t take it. Overnight I have seen people have given up drugs. Overnight,
alcoholism. Overnight, everything. And they enjoy their virtues. That’s the best part
of it. Some people think, well then what is the fun? What is this that you take something
in the pub and next day you have hangover. Here you take something and next day you are
much better off. It never comes down. It never gives you a reaction. It’s not artificial.
It’s not intoxicating. It is from your nerves it’s bubbling out.
So this is the center which is very important in us because most of us have a problem with
this center. And here we have a capacity by this center that we enjoy our generosity.
Now all matter whatever it is - we are materialistic, materialistic, it is a good idea to be materialistic.
But the matter is, the aesthetics of matters are, that you can give it to others suggesting
your love in it. I think that’s the only thing the matter can do. And in a very special
way you can express that love. For example, somebody likes a particular thing - you go
all the way to get it and give that small thing, very small thing, to the person and
the joy, not out of the money that you have spent, but the feelings you have expressed
of knowing what that person would love. And this kind of a depth develops within you.
Such lovable beautiful society you enter into. And you don’t need anything because everybody
is looking after your needs. Now I have told them I love flowers because I don’t take
anything else. So you must see whenever I come My house is so filled with flowers that
My husband was saying, “Let us go live in the garden and let the flowers be here.”
So you see the joy of giving, comes from this center. And whatever you eat, whatever you
have to eat, whatever is good for you, you eat. You don’t have to bother as to what
to eat, what not to eat – you just eat whatever is good for you, benevolent for you. You become
so wise and also you please others. You don’t displease others by saying, “This is bad
food, I want that.” ’I want’ goes away. What do you want?
[speaks aside]
So the, like you could say a candle which is not enlightened, is waiting to be enlightened,
is asking for the light – “I want light.” But once it is enlightened, it gives light
to others, automatically - supposed to be. In the same way you also start giving your
light, your love, your joy to others, automatically. I don’t have to tell you. Nobody has to
go through any Ten Commandments anymore. Those days are gone. Now automatically you become
like that - very beautiful people, very affectionate and glorious, I should say. If you see the
glow on the face of Sahaja Yogis, the face itself is radiant. Many people drop out their
ten years to twenty years in their age and they are so enthusiastic, never get tired,
especially in England I’ve seen – or also in the West I would say everywhere – people
get very really tired.
On the television also you find people will come and sit down “huh…” Young people,
they’ll talk ten times, they’ll say “huh… Why are we so tired?” Because we think too
much. All energy is wasted in thinking, so no energy left to enjoy anything whatsoever.
For example, you have to have people for dinner, they think what to bring, how to make it formal,
what to do, this thing, that thing, so agitated and so nervous about the whole thing – when
the guests come in, they feel like running away. Because so much of tension of thinking,
thinking, thinking….. Planning, planning, planning, planning, planning… Ultimately
the whole joy has disappeared.
So the second center which is there, it does a very miraculous thing, is to provide the
grey cells in our brain, when we are using it for thinking, and also it looks after your
liver, your pancreas, your spleen, your kidneys and lower part of your abdomen. Instead of
doing that, poor thing is busy only sending grey cells to your brain because thinking,
thinking, thinking, thinking, like mad. So you develop all other diseases – liver trouble,
which is very common. Then you develop diabetes – very common. Yesterday at least there
were ten people who said we have diabetes. Now diabetes you do not develop by taking
too much sugar – take it from Me. In India if you go to a village, you’ll see that
he takes sugar in such a manner that in the cup the spoon must stand at right angles,
otherwise he won’t take it. But he never gets diabetes. The reason is he doesn’t
think of tomorrow - he just works hard, eats his food and sleeps off, nicely. He doesn’t
take sleeping pills either. So this diabetes comes by over-thinking and can be easily cured
if you can take to Sahaja Yoga, which I’ll tell you how we’ll stop our thinking at
this, I’ve already told you, at this point.
Then the third disease which is even more dangerous than this, is the disease which
we call as blood cancer. Blood cancer is caused only to people who think too much. It can
even be to the children if the mother is very meticulous, particular about her carpets or
her house, everything you know and even a rat doesn’t enter that house. But she is
very careful that all her things are properly done, her sink doesn’t have even so much
of, little bit of a spot left in it. All the time, thinking, planning, thinking, planning.
This affects the child and a child also can get blood cancer. Blood cancer you get it
because your spleen is a speedometer- is the one which gives you the rhythm of life, rhythm
of life. Now when we are hectic people, all the time under shock, then this goes out of
order.
For example in the morning we get up and see the newspaper and what you find, these Iranians
have killed someone – such a shock. Then an accident, then… I mean newspaper will
never give good news, will they? Will they give news, how many people got realization
or something is working out all, all right? No something horrible that should shock your
heads, shock your limbic area – otherwise you’ll not take it seriously. So, once you
read that, you don’t know your system is a very delicate system, it gets a shock. And
then you get into your car, without taking your breakfast, or maybe in your hand is the
breakfast because you are late. On the way there is a jam – you are shouting, screaming
- somehow or other you reach the office and there is the boss barking.
This is how we live, under complete tension. We are supposed to be free people. In the
night if you sing loudly the neighbor will come and put you to the police station. I
mean you can’t do anything. There’s no freedom. You have to be bound by the watch.
This is the time, exact you have to reach there. So all these things, pressures, and
all these things work on us and we become hectic. And for emergency, this spleen is
the one which releases red blood corpuscles – RBCs. But if you are all the time like
this hectic, that poor spleen becomes mad. It doesn’t know what to do. It starts producing
more cells, more cells and then it thinks it’s a mad person I am fixed with because
I don’t know when to act, when not to act.
So the vulnerability is there, and suddenly with some other shock, you might get blood
cancer and then the doctors will certify you are going to die after one month. Finished,
prepare for your burial. And the whole house is crying. But we have cured, I mean Sahaja
Yoga has cured blood cancer of many people just by this Kundalini awakening because as
soon as the Kundalini is awakened, too much movement this side and that side, this all
the time going on, in the center – this is the left and the right side of the sympathetic
– so just the Kundalini passes through, strings through and brings it back and nourishes
it. The problem is over. And though they were certified to be dead, after even four years
they are all right, working all right, the certificate is cancelled. Even vulnerability
to cancer, or to all incurable diseases, are because of these centers going out of place.
Now we have the center which we call here as the heart center. It controls the left
and right, both – so we have a left and right heart in Sahaja Yoga. As you know that,
this sternum bone creates the antibodies for you. And these antibodies fight your diseases.
So when this center goes out, this is the center which sends all the messages to these
antibodies. Now this is the center of a mother. When your motherhood is challenged, you develop
breast cancer.
Supposing a man is a flirt and his wife is worried, she might get a breast cancer, because
her motherhood is challenged and her sense of security is very disturbed. As a result
of that, she gets this problem. Also if you are too much of a thinker, and you think too
much and you’re very, what we call the right-sided, the futuristic planner, I mean people plan
it for ten years. They plan even their deaths, what dress they are going to wear and where
they are going to be buried, up to that point. All this futuristic planning creates such
tremendous heat in the body because the liver, which is supposed to absorb all the heat,
is neglected by this center. As a result that heat travels up and you develop asthma. Now
we had yesterday, at least five or six people who came with asthma. Asthma is absolutely
curable. But do you know this is the center of a husband, or of the father. Now if I am
telling you, you should not be shocked, because later on you’ll find it.
Now if you are a bad husband, you can get asthma. Or if your wife is a shrew, you might
get an asthma. Or if you are a very bad father, you might get an asthma. Or if your father
is not kind to you, you might get an asthma. If you have not forgiven your father, you
might get asthma. Now can you believe it, just forgiving your father, you can get out
of your asthma permanently. Sahaja Yoga has cured asthma of so many people. Believe it
or not, it works. It looks so funny but our relationships, our parents we have chosen
when we came on this Earth. I know they are wrong, they are obstinate, they’re headstrong,
they may be drunkards, whatever they are. But even if you leave them, because so many
people leave the parents, still forgive them and forget. Otherwise you carry the problems
with you.
The left heart is the place of the mother. Now if your mother has been hard with you,
if you have had very bad experiences, you will have problems of the left heart. Center
heart is very important where your sense of security should be established. You’ll be
surprised in the disease called AIDS, it is the center heart which is out. We have tried
to cure, and we cured also 3, 4 people from AIDS, but they have no will-power to continue
with Sahaja Yoga, they want to die. And they have made a big martyrdom out of it, you see
they are martyrs, great martyrs of a great principle they have established. It’s impossible
to convince to them, that this is unnatural that you are doing and that you should give
it up and you should live, why should you die? No, we are martyrs for such a big principle
we have established. To do something out of the way and new is the modern fashion. Anything
- will do something with the hair, with the nose, with the eyes, with the ears, with the
clothes. That’s all you can do. To such an extent that they do not realize that whatever
is new may not be good for you.
For example, everyday we eat our dinner. Supposing we want to eat the table because it is new
– is it a sensible thing? Anything that is new, is not good. But anything that is
old, may not be good also. So you have to have that wisdom which comes to you through
Sahaja Yoga. There is no other way out - you have to become the spirit, and you have to
see in the light of the spirit, what is right and what is wrong.
So then wecome to this center which is, we call as the Vishuddhi – this has sixteen
petals, looks after the cervical plexus. Now this is a very very important center and this
is the center is for communication. For example, when you talk, you communicate through your
hands. You shake hands, you touch somebody, and you can communicate. Even if you cannot
talk, with your hands you can communicate. Also when we think we are very responsible,
this center goes out. Like some people were traveling by plane - they were from villages,
they did not know what was a plane. They were told to take less luggage because it should
not be a weight for the plane. So they got into the plane and put all of the luggage
on their heads. And they said that “We are trying to reduce the weight of the plane.”
In the same way, we are also... actually the One - which is all-pervading power, which
has created us, created this universe and has brought us to this level of human beings
- is doing everything. But we think we are responsible, we have to do it. But once you
become a Sahaja Yogi you just do it, no doubt. But you don’t think that you are doing anything.
You just say its happening. And what a beautiful feeling it is. Then you don’t have blood
pressures, you don’t have headaches, you don’t have tensions – no, because we are
not doing it. It is just done and you find it’s all done.
Now on this center when we come, as I’ve told you, your thinking is controlled by you,
you can control. If you want you can think or you don’t think. But in that silence
you feel your peace. If there’s too much of crowds, too much of problems, suddenly
you become the witness. You start seeing everything. Seeing the problem, what it is. Unless and
until you can see the problem you cannot solve it. Because you are in the problem, you just
get upset. But if you are out of the problem, you can see it. And that’s what happens
to you when you become thoughtlessly aware when this center opens out.
Last but not the least is the center of limbic area which is very important. Now I do not
know it has been discovered or not, but it will be very soon discovered, that very strong
things like cracks and all that have got sulfuric acid in it, and that doesn’t go anywhere
in the body, just rushes into the limbic area. Now this limbic area is a hollow place which
has got all cells here very sensitive to joy and happiness. But they become numb, so numb
that ordinary music you cannot hear - somebody has to scream at you, has to shout at you,
he has to jump on it, otherwise you cannot enjoy. Then it has to be worse and worse and
worse and worse… I don’t know now with cracks, later on they might develop something
even more poisonous, because it has to excite this limbic area which is such an important
thing. But as soon as the Kundalini enters into that area, limbic area, she soothes it
and it opens - opens like a lotus, thousand petalled lotus. It opens and then the Kundalini
emerges out of your fontanelle bone area and gets connected to the all-pervading power.
Then you start feeling the cool breeze in your hands. You can feel it all over. Some
people in the beginning who felt cool breeze, could not believe it – so they closed doors,
everything and sat down to see, still they were feeling it. But it works, works in the
sense that you get empowered. You become peaceful, you become the witness, you become the wise
and you become empowered that you can give realizations to others like this, that you
can raise the Kundalini like this and you can establish that connection. You can do
it. And this is what is your right to have it. This is what will give you meaning. Otherwise
so far whatever we have been doing is very frustrating.
Now yesterday I said some questions can be asked but I haven’t seen any questions whatsoever.
That means you have no questions? Or there are some questions we can deal with it for
about 5 minutes. There’s one there, please..
Question: INAUDIBLE, but someone else (a yogi near Mother?) repeats the question:
[What is the process by which you one stops thinking?]
It’s very simple. When the Kundalini settles down there, what happens, as I told you, there
is Christ – Christ is awakened and He sucks in these two institutions which you see there,
the yellow and the blue. These are – one is, the blue one is our conditioning and the
yellow one is our ego. So both these are sucked in like that. These are sucked in because
it is said that He died for our sins, didn’t He? He suffered for us. Now also that’s
why yesterday I’ve said are we going to suffer more than Him? We don’t have to suffer.
Only awaken Him at Agnya. We are all right, this is the process, it opens out. All right?
That’s why I said you must forgive, because He said you have to forgive and when you forgive
you can ask for forgiveness, that’s why we do both the things – one in the front
and one in the back.
Please get up.
[How do you raise the Kundalini?]
Automatically, I’ll tell you how. Please, you see like if you have to sprout a seed
you have to just put it in the Mother Earth. How do you do it? The Mother Earth has got
the capacity and the seed is built-in within it. Now it is all built-in within you, all
right. And just you are here, I can raise it – anybody can raise it, those who have
got the capacity – Sahaja Yogis can raise your Kundalini also.
[Question from the floor, : You talk about always thinking. You talk about, like, if
you think too much, you can actually create illness and the problems in your life. How
do You organize Your time and Your work and everything, but You don’t think about it?]
Oh, because the Divine Power does for Me. Everything is done by Divine Power. Why should
I think – let it think for Me. You see I travel every day – I sleep at 2 o’clock
in the night, get up about 5 o’clock in the morning and I travel everywhere. And I’m
now 67 years of age, all right, so what. Divine Power is looking after Me, it’s working
out everything. I am just moving about nicely enjoying everything.
But you have to believe that you can get realization. You need not believe in the Divine Power,
but you just first believe that you can get realization and you get it and get in connection
with it. It just works. It is the subtlest of subtle.
[Yogi, repeating the question: How can we utilize the divine power in our relationships
and all the problems?]
You see first of all you have to give to others. Unless and until you open one door, all right
that’s Divine Power there. But unless and until you open other door, it won’t come
in your life. So you have to open the other door also. There’s where we fail, we want
to use Sahaja Yoga for our own purpose, for our own – my brother, my sister, my son,
all sorts of my, my, my… There there’s problem – but open it out. Everything works
out. You must learn to give. This is free.
[Question inaudible]
It is situated on top of the brain where it is above the brain, and it is covered with,
the doctors say that it is 988 nerves - because I don’t want to quarrel with them. But there
are 1000 nerves which cover it. And when it is enlightened you’ll be surprised, you’ll
see a beautiful lotus opening in all colors, very very silent flames, and they are so peace-giving,
looks so beautiful. Because when any nerve gets enlightened, the light of that flame
looks like a petal. It’s very beautiful, it is. But it has to open out. Just now it
is covered by our conditioning and our ego. Like we have become like an egg we can say.
That’s why in Sanskrit language, a person who has known the brahma, the all-pervading
power, is called as dvijaha and a bird is also called as dvijaha - means born twice.
First as an egg, then it becomes a bird – human being and a realized soul. These are the two
stages.
[Question inaudible]
You see the thing is that now there are social conditions which are very bad, people are
homeless, they are on the streets. Now thinking about it you are not going to help them, are
you? No. Which is the best way is to empower yourself, all right? Now see for example,
in the villages of India where I work, people have given them alcohol, they have given up
all bad habits, they have become very dynamic, they have become very well off, they are living
very well. In London, if you want to work, I am sure you can get a home, no problem.
You see the Asians who have come here, I am an Asian though I didn’t come as an immigrant,
they are becoming very rich, because they work very hard, very hard, so those who want
to… in London. But in India it may not be. But despite that, after Sahaja Yoga they have
improved so much – they have become so dynamic, they have become so hopeful of life. But if
you just think that life is good for nothing, let us now drink and be merry then it won’t
work out.
These homeless and all these conditions are all such – because it is an artificial condition
you know, many people have houses but they don’t want to give it for people to live.
Now if those people get transformation, they won’t behave like that. You see the whole
behavior will change when the emancipation of the society comes up. But I have seen in
the villages of India there’s a complete transformation. The social conditions are
much worse but Indians are more satisfied people, they are not so much. Here even, supposing
you offer a house, they will say, “No, I don’t like this house.” You offer a job,
they’ll say, “I don’t want this job.” All these things are there – also too much
of choices. But if you decide, London is not difficult place I tell you to work hard and
get a house, not difficult, they can do it. But people don’t work here, don’t work.
There are so many old people who haven’t got anybody to help them. But these people
will never go and help them. They can earn. This is a place where anybody can earn I think,
because I know people, Asians, who have come here without any money are very rich today
- all have got big big cars, nice houses, this, that. You can see that they are very
hardworking.
And then divorces, everybody third day if you divorce someone what will happen to you?
You’ll end up without a home. No respect for the wife, the wife has no respect for
the house. All upside down society. There’s a big quarrel going on between husband and
wife – how can you have a home with this husband and wife fighting? Even TV if you
open, nothing but fighting - you just don’t want to hear anyone. See we had to decide
on certain things – that if we have to make a home, then we have to understand our role
in life.
For a woman and a man, I agree, they are equal, no doubt. But they are like two wheels of
a chariot which has some distance but they are not similar. And no use fighting with
each other – when you can’t live without each other, why should you fight? And the
children are on the streets. Every child I find 18 years of age is out of the house.
I mean here the little children are killed – why? In India, I cannot think of such
a thing. The reason, though they are very poor, the reason is they know what is love.
And that is what I feel that the society has to little bit take to Sahaja Yoga.
Now we have so many marriages in Sahaja Yoga – I mean 1% marriages fail, 1%. They have
beautiful children, they are living very well, they have good houses. Those who were really
hippies had nothing, are having nice houses and everything they have. Also some of them,
were “Oh, so I am now fortunately, I am without job.” And I said, “What, you are
very fortunate?” “Yea, now I am without job. Very happy about it.” So I told the
gentleman that if you are not going to stick to one job, you are not going to come to Sahaja
Yoga. And that fellow today has a big car, a nice wife, children and a house.
So all these ideas of stupid freedom must be given up. One has to come to a balance
and value your life. You must value it. Human life is very valuable. With what great difficulty
God has created you and what are we doing with it? The whole society has to take a turn
and think of living happily – if the husband and wife, I mean such a relationship, husband
and wife cannot live together, then how do we expect this world to have United Nations?
We cannot – it is falsehood.
In Sahaja Yoga we don’t have divorces – we have sometimes, sometimes we have, is allowed.
But that is mostly when they are married beforehand – fallen in love, now they are rising in
love, falling in love again, again falling, rising in love again… how many times they
fall in love God only knows. It’s a funny stuff going on. We have to face the reality.
So just worrying about these things, what we should do, is to first of all become wise
and understand the problems. We can all solve it. It is very simple, it is very simple to
solve the problems.
First of all we have to enter into the Kingdom of God. And secondly, that it solves your
problems. Just worrying about poor people, it’s also a kind of a fashion these days.
Because when I went to Switzerland, I met a lady. She said, “I am very guilty.”
I said, “Why?”
“Because of Afghanistan.”
I said, “Are you Afghani?”
“No, but I am guilty about Afghanistan.”
“What have you got to do with Afghanistan?”
“Nothing.”
So it’s kind of an idea - what are we doing about it? But a Sahaja Yogi does, Sahaja Yogi
finds out ways and methods of creating a convenient life – a life where you can earn, you can
live… we do it – we have done, I have so many examples. Because it’s a collective
life also you help each other. We didn’t have rich people in Sahaja Yoga many because
they seldom come to Sahaja Yoga. They go to false gurus because they can purchase the
guru – they can’t purchase Me. So mostly the rich never come here. Bureaucrats also
don’t come, politicians don’t come. So those people who come to Me are the people
who can easily solve the problem because they are so collective, they can solve the problem.
You’ll be surprised, I went to Turkey – My husband was not so for it – everybody said,
“That’s a Muslim country, this, that.” I went to a Muslim country that was Turkey,
and a woman, I just said I must go. But I was surprised, they worshipped Mother, they
worshipped their mothers. And they were so beautiful – so many. In one shot, we got
70 people – serious Sahaja Yogis. But do you know when I reached there, people from
America, from Australia, from all over the world arrived there in Turkey to help Me.
I mean I was so enamored to see My children coming, arriving there on their own - those
who could afford it. And the Turkish people were so beautiful, I tell you. I found they
are the same everywhere.
There’s only a skin deep difference, I tell you, otherwise we are just the same. So all
these problems can be easily solved – there’s nothing so serious about it. There is
a very great thing no doubt, but unless and until you are connected, it is like telephoning
without connection. There are people in India who’ll go on saying “Rama Rama Rama Rama
Rama” like that. And the chakra of Rama itself will be caught. They’ll be saying
“Shiva Shiva Shiva Shiva” and the heart chakra, where Shiva resides, it will be caught.
The reason is, supposing you want to meet the Queen – now if you go to Buckingham
Palace and go on saying “Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth” – you’ll be arrested! And
you’ll end up in a jail!
So you must have some connection, there should be some protocol. Now if it is for kings and
prime ministers, what about God? He’s not in your pocket. But once you are realized,
even once you take the name, it is sufficient. What is there? He’s at your disposal all
the time there. But you have to have connection. Now you are the citizens say of England, or
some place, all right so your government is looking after you. Whether you are satisfied
or not is not the point. But they are looking after you. But if you enter into the Kingdom
of God, then see the efficiency of this Kingdom. You’ll be amazed if I tell you how things
work out. So amazing
it is, so amazing. See first of all they say Kundalini has to rise. Then it sometimes comes
back to the centers which are needing more help. So it is like a rope you can say, which
has many strings in it, very thin ones just like a hair, and one by one they open out.
So first, very few of them pierce through, open out the Sahasrara, by which you relax
and the chakras open out more. It goes on like that. But once you are connected properly
then there’s no problem. But it is instantaneous, no doubt about it. But for that you have to
come to our centers, don’t have to pay anything, just spend some time and you have to master
it, that’s all.
There’s a question, what purpose do we have on this planet?
The purpose of our existence is to prove that God’s creation is the most successful thing.
That’s the purpose.
About Me, I will not talk - I am sorry. You better get your realization and try to find
out about Me, because those who have talked - you see human beings are mad people, you
don’t know. Christ said “I am the Son of God” – which He was no doubt. And He
saidthat, “I am the door” – which He was, no doubt. But they crucified Him. They
gave poison to Mohammed Sahib. They killed so many saints. I know human beings very well,
so please I am not going to talk to you about Myself at all. You better get your self-realization
- try to know Me. Because I have to do some jobs, all right and for that, I want to live.
People are really sometimes so funny. Even otherwise they behave in such a funny manner
that I can’t understand. As if I am going to take away their property or something.
I am here to give you something that is very important. Sort of you can say I am here to
complete the work of Christ, Mohammed and all of them.
Yes please…. When you will give to others, you will receive the blessings. That’s what
it is absolutely 100%. He said so many things. I mean just explaining Sahaja Yoga throughout
I think.
[Question inaudible]
That
should not be the question just now, all right. Because to say anything about it, you know
what happens with people. So this can be discussed later on, when we get our self-realization.
Certain things at a level can be discussed and this is what happened with all of them
because they had very little time to talk to you. And that’s why everything has been
misinterpreted, misused, because to understand the truth, to bear it also, one has to have
self-realization. This I have found out. If you are not a self realized person you can’t
bear the truth, you cannot – it’s too much for human mind to grasp and to allow
it to be a part and parcel of their understanding. Truth is too much for them.
So the first thing should be that we get our self-realization. Yes, my child…
[Initial question inaudible.
Mother: Can you get up, please?
Questioner: Yes, of course
Mother: Thank you.
Questioner: Do the colors of the chakras change all the time?[… INAUDIBLE]
But the auras you see sometimes are these colors only. But sometimes you are more strong
with one center, so that color shows. They do not change, they are just the same.
All right I think now it is 10 o’clock so we’ll take about 10 minutes more and let
us finish with our self-realization which is going to take only 10 minutes. Those who
do not want to have should please leave, they should not sit here and just watch other people.
That’s the only kindness I request of them – that if you do not want to have self-realization,
it’s better that you should leave. Those people who are standing, could not get place,
can come here or you can also give them places if you want to give some places. No, not for
Sahaja Yogis, I said for others – for others, for outsiders, Sahaja Yogis can stand up.
At the very outset you have to now understand that we are going to enter into the Kingdom
of God and hence we have to little bit unload ourselves. One of the conditions is that we
should not feel guilty – one should not feel guilty at all. Yesterday, same problem
I said, but you were still feeling guilty. Also it’s a fashion. Also I think the language
is such – all the time sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry… Even when we used to receive telephones
we used to say “I beg your pardon.” But now it is sorry, sorry, sorry – ten times
sorry. What is there to be so sorry?
So we have to be pleasantly placed towards ourselves. We have to respect ourselves. We
have to be happy about ourselves. This is first thing is not to feel guilty about anything
- just believe that you have done nothing wrong which cannot be dissolved by this great
power of forgiveness. Please believe Me. But if you want to stick onto a feeling like that
– “No, no, I am guilty” – it’s only mental. Animals don’t feel guilty about
anything – a dog will bark, tiger will eat anything that it wants to. It’s only human
beings who feel that way – that I’ve done this wrong, I’ve done that wrong. All right,
so not to feel guilty that’s one point.
The second one is to forgive everyone, which is very difficult for many people. I don’t
know how many mounds of unhappiness is in the head because we cannot forgive. Mounds,
it’s not kilos and kilos. Yesterday I found most of them had not forgiven and I had to
go on putting balm on their heads to take out. So you must cooperate. Just forgive,
just forgive everyone. First of all forgive yourself and forgive everyone. And be pleasantly
placed towards yourself. There’s no Greek tragedy going on here – no tragedy. We are
in a very beautiful atmosphere and we are going to go into the most beautiful area within
ourselves, that is our spirit. So we have to be very light about it.
All right, with all this understanding, I have to request you that we have to take out
your shoes because this Mother Earth also helps us a lot. And not to be serious – not
to be serious about it. It’s not frivolous, but it’s fun.
So you have to put your left hand towards Me, which represents your desire to get realization.
If all the Sahaja Yogis could also sit down it would be very nice. Please be seated and
don’t move about. Left hand towards Me like that – be comfortable, if you want you can
put it on your lap or you can put it up if you want to. Then the right hand needs to
be used for nourishing your centers on the left-hand side. Now I’ll show you how we’ll
be nourishing. Before that, please remember that put your both the feet apart from each
other – not too much, but slightly. Now, left hand towards Me. I’ll show you before
and then we can close our eyes and work it out.
Put your right hand on your heart – in the heart resides the Spirit and Kundalini is
the reflection of the Holy Ghost, of the Adi Shakti, within us, while the Spirit is the
reflection of God Almighty. So we put our attention to our heart first. Then we take
our right hand in the upper portion of our abdomen on the left-hand side and press it
hard. This is the center of our mastery. We take down our right hand on the lower portion
of our abdomen and press it hard. This is the center of pure knowledge that manifests
on our central nervous system. We take back our hand in the upper portion of our abdomen.
And again we take it in the heart, in the upper portion of our heart. Then we take it
in the corner of our neck and our shoulder and put your head to the right. This is the
center we catch when we feel guilty. Then we take our hand on our forehead and slowly
bring down our head on it to rest. Here we press it on both the sides and this is the
center to forgive. We take back our hand on the back side of our head and put our head
resting on it - this is the center for asking forgiveness without feeling guilty. We stretch
our hand, with the center of our palm, we put it on our head in the soft bone area of
our childhood, called as fontanelle bone area, and slowly we put down our head. Here we stretch
our fingers and move our scalp carefully with pressure, slowly, clockwise, seven times.
That’s all we have to do.
Now please close your eyes and don’t open them until I ask you to open because attention
has to go inside. Put your left hand towards Me. Now first you will feel thoughtless – so
don’t fight with your thoughts. Automatically everything will work out. Don’t fight with
your thoughts, just keep watching and ultimately you will feel cool breeze coming out of your
fontanelle bone area and you’ll also start feeling cool breeze all around you which is
the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost, the cool breeze of the all-pervading power as described
by Adi Shankaracharya, Salilam, salilam – it’s cool, and cool.
So now, we put our left hand this way towards Me and the right hand on the heart. Here you
have to ask Me a very fundamental question, three times – “Mother, am I the Spirit?”
In your heart, ask the question “Mother, am I the Spirit?” If you are the spirit
you are your master, because in the light of your spirit you know what is right and
what is wrong – you can guide yourself.
So put your right hand in the upper portion of your abdomen on the left-hand side, and
here please ask Me a question again three times – “Mother, am I my own master?”
“Mother, am I my own master?”
As I have told you that I will not cross your freedom, I respect your freedom, and only
if you want I can bestow this pure knowledge on yourself, otherwise I cannot. So please
put your right hand in the lower portion of your abdomen and ask the question, “Mother”
- or you can request “Mother please give me pure knowledge.” Say this six times because
this center has got six petals. “Mother, please give me pure knowledge.”
Now all the prophets of the past and the saints and seers have built up for us a center of
mastery. But to open the center we have to have all the confidence, so please raise your
hand and put it in the upper portion of your abdomen on the left-hand side and say with
full confidence to nourish this center, ten times, “Mother, I am my own master.” Please
say this ten times.
Now we have to know that we are not this body, we are not this mind, we are not these emotions,
we are not this intellect. We are not our conditionings or are we our ego. We are pure
spirit. So now raise your hand to your heart and with full confidence say twelve times
“Mother, I am the spirit.” Please say twelve times, “Mother, I am the spirit.”
You have to know that this Divine Power is the ocean of love and compassion. It is the
ocean of joy and bliss but above all it is the ocean of forgiveness, so there is no mistake
that you have committed which cannot be dissolved by this ocean. So please forgive yourself
and put your right hand in the corner of your neck and your shoulder and turn your head
to your right. Here you have to say with complete confidence again, “Shri Mataji, I am not
guilty at all.” Or you can call Me Mother – “Mother, I am not guilty at all.”
Sixteen times- please say this sixteen times.
Now one has to know whether you forgive someone or don’t forgive, you don’t do anything
– it’s a myth. But if you don’t forgive, then you play into wrong hands. So put your
right hand on your forehead and please bend your head, resting on the hand as much as
you can and now press it on both the sides. And here please, please, say it from your
heart “Mother, I forgive everyone.” Please say it from your heart - please say it, otherwise
again I will have to work very *** you. So please say it from your heart – “Mother,
I forgive everyone.” You are not going to miss your self-realization for not forgiving,
please. How many lives you have been seeking the truth that this time you are not going
to miss it out.
Now take back your hand on the back side of your head and push back
your head as much as you can resting on your
hand
and here for your own satisfaction, without feeling guilty, without counting your mistakes,
please say, “Oh Divine, if
I
have done any mistakes, please forgive me.”
