“The politics of the gutters.”

The compromise with evil, compromise with wrongdoers and compromise at any cost, just to have an election, sometimes you start decrying democracy because it becomes a demonocracy.

So one can say that, one could say, that should have the desire and the prayers to God, that “Oh God, make Sahaja Yoga so successful, that people enter into the kingdom of God, where there is not such filthy things”, I mean this is the politics of the gutters. I feel the way it is, it’s very, very low level, everything is so low level.

We don’t need anybody’s votes in Sahaja Yoga. Our vibrations are our votes. I mean somebody is elected because he has good vibrations, that’s all, just gets elected. That’s what it is the centripetal and the centrifugal force, which works it out, which is so natural, not mental, so it doesn’t compromise with something that is wrong. And those who are wrong, who are not up to the point, have to work it out, and they can be again back. You see, which is a living force, but nobody harms anyone to that extent ….
Nobody can harm to that extent. Because this is a living force, and living force whatever is living, can always be improved.

But a plastic you cannot do anything you cannot evolve it. You cannot do anything to it. It is just what you created is created, it’s like a monster. It will pile up into a mountain, you don’t know what to do, how to dissolve it. So, as if I feel it is all such filth, that this fungus-like growth has come up, this is all like funguses. So they are at the helm of affairs these funguses, fungi, and I really don’t know what to say about them, I mean they are that level, what to say! We should just dissociate with them, we are different people all together, we are flowers…

H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Vienna Ashram (Austria), 2 May 1985.

Trust yourself fully and work it out.

For your ascent, because you are realised souls, you have to know that your own power must increase. That means you have to trust yourself fully and work it out. Because only through you, people are going to come to Sahaj Yoga. When they see you only, they will think there is something great about it. So you have to work it out properly, by intensive meditation and by collective work. So this will only help, help Sahaj Yoga and help the whole world. Of course, by your shraddha by your faith, you have very great power over the, I mean you can have a great, you can say, a connection with this all-pervading Power, and that you will be able to get all the blessings.

But that should make you more sort of confident, that you have to give it to others. And when it comes to giving to others, then it is important for you to develop your depths, your dimensions and there are so many dimensions within us, which still have to found out, are to be developed. Unless and until you can manage that, spend time on that, introspect, it cannot work. That is what it is. We have to work out ourselves on our own powers. Of course, you have to meditate daily, no doubt. Also, you have to be very collective. But also you have to think, how you will spread Sahaj Yoga and how you will impart this knowledge to others.

Christ had only twelve disciples, and most of them ran away because of Paul and it fell only into the hands of Paul and Peter, whom Christ has described as Satan. So it is Paul who has manufactured all those things that, he will give the key and the church will be established on the rock, is all manufacturing, manufactured by this Mr. Paul on Peter, because he is such a big disciple of Christ. So, that’s how we have to understand that, these crooks can spread Christianity so much, why not we, so many pure saints like you? So the responsibility has to be taken, with wisdom and with your powers. That is My message for all the Sahaj Yogis.

“Is the awakening of kundalini the same as Budha’s enlightenment?”

…Of course! Very much so. See, Buddha! Buddha “shabdh” means it comes from the word “Bodh Budh”. “Budh” means to know on your central nervous system. Also, Veda; “Vidha” word comes from the word “Vidh” which is the gerund and which means to know on your central nervous system. Buddha also got the same thing. Now, “Budh” itself means a realised soul. The one who has known on his central nervous system. Everything is just the same. He said “Budham, Sharanam, Gachami” means “I surrender myself to the realised”. “Dharmam, Sharanam, Gachami”; now you see in this green part [Shri Mataji points to the chart] is the “Dharm”. “Dharmam” means the religion. Not religion the way we know, but our valencies. Human being is having ten valencies. Animals have nine and matter has eight. We have ten valencies which are built in this area which we call as the “Bhava sagara” is the ocean of illusion. When the kundalini rises, she enlightens them. Such a person becomes righteous; just becomes. You don’t have to say “you become righteous”. He just becomes righteous. It is the question of becoming. For example, you may follow any religion. Any religion; christian, hindu, muslim, anything. You can commit any sin. There is nothing binding on you. With that brand you cannot be brand, but with this you can never do wrong things. As a saint I have never done wrong things. So, this is what is the “Dharmam, Sharanam, Gachami”. This is what I surrender to. Then, the third one he says that “Sangham, Sharanam, Gachami”, to the collectivity. I surrender myself to the collectivity. Now, collectivity you cannot feel it unless and until you become the spirit because then only you get the collective consciousness. So, the whole preaching of Budha is practised only when you become one with the divine. Otherwise, you cannot. Otherwise, it becomes another Buddhism, Christanism, “This ism”, “That ism”, “isms” are outside. They are nothing to do with inside.

“How to establish Shiva.”

Every matter has been created with a deity and that deity is established in that matter, as you know. So, when it was thought by Adi Shakti that first we must establish Shiva; without Shiva you cannot establish anything. First, He is to be established, because He is the absolute. So you have to establish Shiva.

And now what should we do? How to establish him? He is the God of Tamo Guna. He is the cold, He is the God of all that is not active. So first of all, this earth, when it receded from the sun, which was very hot, was taken very near to the moon. The moon is the brother-in-law of Shiva. So it was taken so close to moon that the whole earth got covered with ice. And it was then gradually moved towards the sun. When it was moved towards the sun, gradually, then it started melting. And the point that did not melt at all was the point where Shiva was to be established.

That was predestined, that spot, and that spot is the Kailash. The ice never melts there and if you see the whole mountain is like the face of Shiva – the eyes, the nose and everything you can see clearly getting out – and all the year round, it keeps its shape as it is.

That is how Shiva was created. And He was placed in a witness state, as the spectator of all that happens on this earth, facing towards the Kundalini of the universe, which they were going to place in India. So He is facing towards the south.

He is looking at the south with both the hands like this, like a spectator watching the spectacle of the Adi Kundalini. That is how Shiva was created. So, though we say that the heart of the universe is England, still Shiva resides on top of the Sahasrara: this is the seat.

Like you have got the seat of Shiva on top of your head, but He resides in your heart, in the same way, Shiva belongs to this place and He looks at the whole body from that, this point – so the Feet are the south, this (Sahasrara) is the north, this is the west (right arm), and this is the east (left arm). That is how we can see the whole map of the universe, of the world that is created. ….

So now, when we understand that Shiva is the first thing that is established in the matter, then in us also first the Shiva is established. When the foetus takes its form, the throb in the heart is the establishment of Shiva. That is the sign that Shiva has been established.

In case of people who are born with bad heart or with troubles, one has to say that Shiva is not fully established. Not that they are bad people, but they are not supposed to live for long, and have to have another heart later on maybe, or that there might be some sort of a problem in their previous lives, and if they pay attention to Shiva tattva, their heart can be cured.

So, the most important organ in the body is the heart. If the heart fails, you cannot remain on this earth. So, the most important thing is to look after your Shiva principle which is the Atma. We are worried about every sort of mundane thing. Worried about this, worried about that, but we are not worried about our Spirit. This is the biggest problem with us.

If you worry about your Spirit, if you pay attention to your Spirit, the whole universe then vibrates with Parabrahma, which is nothing but joy. So without, without any attention to Spirit, if you think you can enjoy life, you cannot.

H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Mahashivaratri Puja, New Delhi, India, February, 20th, 1982.

“ To be jealous of any one is very bad.”

Shiva Tattva is the destination to Shiva, and the path is made by Lord Vishnu. To create this path Vishnuji, and Adishakti have taken efforts. Lord Shiva has no role in it: He sits comfortably in his Seat, not bothering about anyone who comes or does’nt come. So, to attain this Shiv Tattva, we should go through this Vishnu Path (Sushumna Path) And for that, the several chakras (centres) that are present, have to be corrected first. When the centers are cleansed, our Vishnu path opens up. And along with that, we gradually start ascending. I have told about all these centers, many a times. But, there is a center in Heart also, which we call `Left Heart’. This is not the chakra of the heart, It is just that, the heart, which, reflects the reflection of Mahadeva. The abode of Shiva is above everything, Beyond the mind, beyond the thoughts. To attain this kind of tatva (principle), first and foremost we should pay attention, to see how pure our heart is. Inside our heart, we give place to many evil thoughts. For example, we feel jeolous of someone. feeling jeolous, in the sense, if sombody has been evil to you, might have harmed you also, troubled you, But there is no use becoming jeolous of them. If your heart is pure then the mirror in which, The God almighty’s reflection is going to fall, will be very clear. But if you are full of jealousy, then the mirror will not remain clean and the reflection of will also not be perfect.

To have enmity towards anyone, And towards anyone to have in the heart, any kind of miserable thoughts or ill feeling, is very wrong that is why, Christ has said that forgive everyone. To forgive is extremely important and, before and after Christ, many saints have said the same thing that forgive everybody. The moment you forgive, immediately Lord Shiva, takes the situation in his hands. The Subtlest power of all, is that of shri mahadev. And He, then completely punishes him, totally punishes him. This is the work of Lord Mahadev, not yours. Therefore to be jealous of any one is very bad. ..

When within a person Shri Mahadev resides, Who can dare to touch such a person, who can destroy him? Whatever you do, however you trouble him, still that person can not be destroyed. But those who harass them, will get destroyed themselves. When the complete trust regarding this, will come within you that whoever is troubling you, will get destroyed Then you will keep your heart totally pure and clean.. This work can happen only in a clean heart. because the Shiva resides in our heart, as reflection. And the reflection falls better in a clean mirror. Shiv Ji’s anger is a one time job, or rather people say that He gets angry only once. But I have seen him getting angry many a times, because it is His right. He has a right to be angry. If any one works against Adi Shakti, then Shiv Ji has very long hands. Without listening to anyone, He finishes such a person. Because he knows that Adi Shakti will not do anything herself. She is not going to punish anyone at all, and She will forgive rveryone. So, His hands are so long, that there is no limit to them and, when those hands start lashing, then nothing can stop them. Who is there to check Him? He has got his own protocols, which you can neither change nor go beyond. This is how you should understand that in your individual life In Sahaja Yoga you have to follow only Lord Shiva. Because, if you don’t follow Him, firstly, You will get heart problems. The first thing will be heart desease. It works out in two ways. Firstly with excessive anger the heart catches, and secondly, after the anger if a person repents, then you get the disease of `Angina’. This is how both the things are useless. ..

“Kundalini Awakening is the most important happening in the History of Creation.”

Kundalini is the one which triggers, that is the one that explodes. So Kundalini is in everything: the Kundalini force in everything. But, the best it is, highest it is, the most effective it is, is in the human beings. Because force to evolve from, say from carbon to amoebae state and amoebae to animal state and animal state to human state, exists in everyone. Even in the elements it exists because elements also evolve. We do not know how they evolve but it happens in the Nature, that elements start changing their forms and and they become different elements. The mass changes but we have no idea because we have no way of measuring the quantum of this change that is taking place. Then the animals also change. Animals change, from …many fishes, they become reptiles. Out of reptiles many become mammals. From mammals, many become human beings; or you can say that monkeys or quadrupeds and then human beings. All this happening takes place. How many are destroyed, and how many become, how many are transformed, nobody has measured it and nobody has kept any account of it.

Today, we talk of a population problem. Perhaps many animals have taken birth. You can see the effect of that, the way people are behaving; you can be sure that many animals must have taken life and they have yet to go – lot of evolution and training as a human being to understand the value of human life. But once a human being starts evolving within himself.

Now we have been human beings, as they say, for 14,000 years – I think it is even more than that. So we have been human beings say, for 14,000 years. We have been inside growing through our freedom, Human beings are the only people who get freedom to evolve themselves, to understand what is wrong and what is bad. This freedom is granted because without freedom you cannot go any further. …

At this stage you are given freedom to find out for yourself. That is how you are developed and then by this development only you can teach the other people who are coming up. This is the way the evolution has been. So far you have not felt your evolution: from amoebae to this stage you have not felt. You do not know how you became a human being, you just take it for granted…

Human beings have been given freedom to understand and to develop their own efficiency, to receive the ultimate knowledge of the Creator of this creation, the powers of this Creator. And that is why a Kundalini is placed in the human beings alone. Though there is Kundalini force and there is Kundalini in another form in everything else that exists, only in the human being, when they get their freedom, this force is kept in the triangular bone, dormant, to trigger the last jumping into the unknown. Now this is there, this Kundalini exists…

All pervading power is there of Holiness which corrects, which guides, which co–ordinates, which loves and which organizes everything for you to get this awakening within you. So one must understand how Kundalini awakening is the most important thing that has to happen. Kundalini awakening is the only way you are going to know your spirit, your Atma. This is the most important happening in the history of creation….

It is the happening, the actualization by which you reach that state of awareness by which you develop the dynamics of collective consciousness. Collective consciousness. By which you become collectively conscious: is an awareness which develops within you – is real actualization… So, as soon as you become the super human being, you become aware of yourself within and you become aware of others within. This is the collective consciousness, this is what Sahaja Yoga is. Sahaja Yoga is the system of nature.

H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi at Gandhi Bhawan, Delhi University (India), on 1 February 1979.

“A revolutionary era is being commenced.”

Today I am telling you all plainly that you should not (live on) freebies (“फुकटखोरी”). Sahaja yoga is not for such people who are looking for freebies, if you want freebies, you should take another path. Those who want to stay in Sahaja Yoga have to live with self-esteem (“आत्मसम्मान”) and have to show the world that we are self-respecting people. ..

This kind of begging attitude will not work and such beggars are not required in Sahaja Yoga and those people who cannot (use their hands to) work should leave Sahaja Yoga. Your collective state can never improve because the vibrations flow through your hands. When you use your hands to work only then your collective state will improve…

You need to leave this begging attitude and if you don’t leave it, you don’t have any place in Sahaja Yoga. Please keep this thing in mind. Today I am telling this plainly (“sikshu”). If you don’t keep this in mind then even God will not recognise you as Sahaja Yogis and you will have no place in his Kingdom. I have given step by step attention to you, you have got step by step experiences, you know everything step by step. You know that I am Adi Shakti, for that you can see the photo, you see anywhere, you know it. But you should not cheat me and don’t get cheated yourself. It should not be felt that I have spoiled you. Christ only had twelve disciples, they have moved door to door and spread Christianity religion so much. How many disciples did Buddha have, only two. How many disciples did Guru Nanak have, only two. And today I have thousand disciples, thousands of disciples but of no use.

So, you have to leave all the infighting. You should abandon all the animosity between you all, do some collective work. ..

Now in front of you there is a question that if you want to remain in Sahaja Yoga and want to grow in it, then the qualities in it should be imbibed, show draw it completely. We are no longer the people of the past, but are in the present, we are starting a new era, a revolutionary era is being commenced. Where are we going to fit into it is what is to be seen. ..

Only I request, that now please accept Sahaja Yoga from your heart. Please do things from your heart, place me in your heart, then only work will be done.

H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1987-1220 at Rahuri ,India

“Have I risen above the worldly desires?”-Purify it.

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 the desire, no-one can force you. Sahaja Yogis should never try to force this desire on other people. The first ordeal we face, as soon as you get your Realization, is that you just start thinking of your family. You start thinking, ‘My mother has not got it, my father has not got it, my wife has not got it, my children have not got it.’
You must know that these relations are worldly, Sanskrit is “laukik”. They are not “aloukik” [divine], they are not beyond the worldly relationships. These are worldly relations, and these attachments are worldly. So if you play into that, of course, as you know, that Mahamaya Shakti allows you to play with that. You go ahead, as long as you like. People bring Me all their relations, parents, this and that and ultimately they discover that this was a very wrong thing they did. They lost so many precious moments, so many hours, so many years, wasting their energy on people who never deserved any attention of Mother. Sooner you realize the better, that this desire may be within you, and may not be in anyone of your so-called worldly relations. Makes no difference.
As Christ was told that His brothers and sisters are waiting outside, so He said: “Who are My brothers and who are My sisters?”
So one has to realize that those people who involve themselves into the problems of their family all the time, and attract My attention, you must know that I am just playing about. It is of no value to you.
For your ascent it is important first of all to have no desires to create desire in your kith and kin. This is the first principle of establishment of Mahakali Power….

So try to separate your pure desire from your worldly desires. It does not by any means, suggest that you give up your family, you give up your mother or give up your sister – nothing. But you witness them and see, as you would see anybody else, and see for yourself, whether they are really desirous or not. If they are – well and good. They should not be disqualified because they are your relations. It works both ways. ..

This is the second desire, you should face yourself and see, that this has happened to many of you. So, right from leprosy to any small thing like cold or sneezing, whatever they have, you think you should bring to Mother. And all the worries of your families should be brought to Mother. Simple thing like pregnancy or sneezing, very simple things – which are so natural are brought into your attention. So when you have them in your attention I say: ‘All right, go ahead with it. Try to solve it, if possible.’ But if you do not have them in your attention they are in My attention. You leave them in My attention, I’ll manage that.
But then it’s a vicious circle. It’s a very subtle projection of the mind that thinks: “All right then Mother we don’t have this in our attention, You’d better look after it.” That’s not the way. You should have only one intense desire within yourself: “Have I become the Spirit? Have I achieved my Ultimate? Have I risen above the worldly desires?” Purify it. Once you start purifying whatever falls off, I’ll look after that. This is just an assurance, but not a guarantee. If it deserves My attention I will definitely look after you.
You have to value your attention as I value My attention. ..

What is your responsibility to Sahaja Yoga, which is the work of God, which has started and you are My hands. You have to do the work of God, and you have to fight the anti-God elements, the satanic elements. You are not responsible for your family any more, those who are, are the half-baked Sahaja Yogis I said, are useless absolutely good for nothing. All such will drop out, their families will suffer, I know this is going to happen because now the forces are gathering in such a way that sorting out will start.
Your responsibility to yourself, to be the Spirit, your responsibility to Sahaja Yoga, your responsibility to understand Me, better and better and better. Your responsibility to understand this mechanism that is within you, your responsibility to understand how this mechanism works out everything. The responsibility is to how to become a guru yourself. Your responsibility to be a dignified and a glorified personality. A responsibility to be a respectable person and not a cheap personality. Every one of you is worth the whole universe. If you want to rise to that height. Universes of universes can be thrown away at your feet. If you want to rise to that height, to that magnitude that is within you to prosper. But those people, who still want to live on a very low level cannot rise…

H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Shri Mahakali Puja, Lonawala, Maharashtra (India), 19 December 1982.

“A great revolution.”

At this moment we are in a strife of an intellectual who tried to describe Shri Rama and Shri Krishna, in a slurry manner. And this is the time I want to bring your attention that if this intellectual strife, you use them intelligence to bring down all the ideals which enlighten our path, which gives us the guidelines and an aspiration then our life become absolutely mundane, useless, joyless. It’s very easy to condemn an ideal life but to attain that life is very difficult. And some people because they cannot attain it, try to condemn it so that they feel that they are no less, no way less than those great lives. All these ideals are created, these images are created, everywhere in the world by divine power and people look at them and think that these great lives are beautiful, though they have suffered a lot but they are so much of deeper understanding and deeper balancing and a deeper love. These ideals are very important for human societies otherwise they will be absolutely living in a relatively and they will have no absolute major to find out what is right and what is wrong.

In Sahaja Yoga we are here first of all to get connected with God Almighty, with His power, the All-Pervading Power of Chaitanya. By that we become our own master, in the sense that we get our own guidelines. If some Sahaja Yogi has not achieved that much then it is a serious thing. At least a Sahaja Yogi should be able to see at the minimum of minimum what is wrong with that person. To cleanse yourself and to put yourself right, is of course is a very important duty of every Sahaja Yogi. …

What I am saying this today is that, we are standing on a revolutionary path. At this time, we are facing a great challenge that we are Sahaja Yogis. We have achieved Yoga. We are not like other people, who are full of soiled, filthy, thoughts, who do not love each other and who have violent temperaments towards each other. We are Yogis, we are the ones to bind together the whole world, we are special representatives, and we are saints. The qualities of saints should be completely noticeable. in us. When these (qualities) will be seen, when these will be perceptible, only then people will understand that Sahaja Yoga is a special thing. Otherwise, people will think, what if you are Sahaja Yogis? Your habits are the same. Your methods/ ways are the same. You have same fights, you also have the same groupism. All your habits are similar to other people, so what did you achieve in Sahaja Yoga?

In Sahaja Yoga, we did not achieve on the outside but from within, we a tremendous energy existing and in our whole world this energy, its existence (effect) is seen. We can see that this energy exists within all of us and is moving within us. In everyone, its beautiful environment exists. And we know it in mutual love. Not only that, every second, every moment, this energy operates us and ties us to one another. This energy is the core thread that of the universe that we have got. And when we have achieved this, then indulging in such useless things, such absolutely mundane matters and wasting our life, we are not ready for that. We will have to evaluate ourselves. We will have to know what our value is, and what have we understood about our lives. I observe that getting into arguments is man’s nature. Whatever happens, they will start fighting over it. This is not seen even among cats and dogs! Anything happens, it becomes a matter of fights. There should be some discussion of love as well!

Sahaja Yoga is a movement of love alone, nothing else is there in it, only a movement of love alone, and you are in that movement, in an extremely beautiful and extremely sweet atmosphere, [you are] enjoy. But this can happen only when your subtle being is so deep that you see that you are a representative of God and God is working this out through us. What a great thing, what a unique thing! Upon obtaining this unique thing, you should be aware about yourself, and whatever is your personality, give it a huge form, there should be a greatness in it. This is the first day today that everyone has arrived, look how well everyone is sitting! It is a matter of pride for a Mother that so many of my children have gathered here from the whole world. But I wish every time that you become aware, you realize that a very big revolution Mother is organizing..

You all should be aware that our Mother is organizing a big revolution that will involve the whole universe, such a great revolution, and that we are a part and parcel of it.
May God Bless you all.

H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Alibag (India) 13 December 1987.

“The Basis of Sahaja Yoga.”

Today my heart is filled with tremendous satisfaction that I feel now that the Satya Yuga has come! Before this, the saints were never respected…Even respected by few were tortured by many…
Today to see these young students with such discipline, respecting a saint, I am not a politician, I am not a business lady….neither I am a learned lady of some university …I am a simple saint of this country.
And that I should be respected by you all shows the recognition of the divine today.
This is the basis of Sahaja Yoga …
The basis of Sahaja Yoga is this that whatever this great saint like Shri Gyneshwara, Nama deva, Sant Tukaram, Ram Das Swami, Eknath and so many others like NanakSahib, Kabir Das, and so many Muslims also like Nizamuddin, …Khwaja Nizamuddin and Chisti …All these great people have been warning this country, have been talking about the divine They are been saying there is the divine surrounding us but nobody could recognize them …Because they were not realised souls And this is the reason why Sahaja Yoga had to come to make people self-realized and they can feel the divine all around…

It’s such a remarkable thing and I hope this will open the eyes of other people also to see how a divine personality is to be recognised. Superficially, the divine personality has nothing to offer but in the depth of heart, it can introduce you to the divine which is surrounding us and blessing us. We all have had experiences of the blessings of Sahaja Yoga …
