The quality of this Chakra is that you become creative. Your creativity increases. People who never even
wrote a line, start writing poetry. People who had never given a speech started giving long speeches and people who had never
painted, never been artistic, become artistic. Become very creative. We have our architects, who have scaled great heights. So
creativity comes into human, and he believes that his creativeness is very important. He does not care about money, he cares
about being creative and neither do many people want to get a big name, for which create some or the other weird thing. Today
many weird things are made so that we become famous, people will remember us a lot, but there is no art in that. So you receive
great degree of art (creativity) when this second Chakra of yours, the Swadishthan Chakra becomes alright. And because of this,
because of Swadishthan, what we think, we use the power of the the grey cells in our brain. So this Chakra supplies that required
power. This Chakra. So, people who think too much get all kinds of illnesses, which we call the right sided illnesses. One of the
illness is that the liver is spoilt and another is that he gets diabetes in his Pancreas. If not that then he could get kidney trouble, if
not tat then he could get constipation, if not that then he could get Asthma, if not that then he could get a Heart Attack and he
could also get Paralysis. So all right sided illnesses come from the Swadishthan Chakra and also the left sided illnesses come
from this Chakra. So it is very important that we maintain the Swadishthan Chakra in good condition. Now how the Kundalini
takes care of the Swadishthan Chakra and gives it….. that when you awaken the Kundalini of somebody and his Swadishthan
Chakra is caught then in the back, where the Swadishthan Chakra is there, you will think there is heart over there. When there is
fast throbbing, you know that this man’s Swadishthan Chakra is caught. When is right Swadishthan is cleared, then his attention
become pure and all the stress etc. which is within him nowadays is finished and he becomes settled in peace. Nowadays it is
very important that we keep our Swadishthan Chakra in good condition as we are burdened with innumerable workloads
nowadays. By keeping the Swadishthan Chakra clear, however much the human is troubled or he has nay problems , he sees
them in a peaceful and detached way and he understands what has gone wrong. Means that his Swadishthan Chakra gets so
much spoilt nowadays and so many illnesses are caused. Everything is there, but there is some specialty of the Swadishthan
Chakra that it is so bad in this Modern age. Then there are also those other diseases, I don’t want to go into their details but will
say this that other than diseases, human being become very dissatisfied and becomes very angry. Becomes right sided. In little
little thing he is short-tempered, he feels that I am a man of my such a position but no one respects me. A nobody also believes
that he is important person. This happens due to the right side Swadishthan and when the left side Swadishthan gets caught
then the Person becomes very worried and sad. He becomes depressed and he thinks that there is nobody worse than me.
Everybody is troubling me. I have problems. All kinds of Philological cases happen. So these two sides of the Chakra, the left and
right, should be taken great care of and this is very useful thing in Sahaja Yoga because both these chakras become cleared.
When they are clear then you understand everything as if you are watching yourself from the outside. Oh….so now you are
getting angry…., take a seat, you laugh at yourself. Make fun of yourself. You think about yourself …..Yes what I do….what I am
doing…. so in this way human put his attention in that place and your attention becomes enlightened and it corrects the
attention. Sahaja Yoga is very important for the Swadishthan Chakra and nowadays all the problems are due to the Swadishthan,

1/1/1970 | http://amruta.org/?p=10565 | Unidentified Hindi Talk, date unknown (Extract on Agnya Chakra) | India | New Delhi | null | VERIFIED | null | VERIFIED | null | Y | Y | N | Talk to Sahaja Yogis | Hindi | 9 | Translation from Hindi [...] you have come to the programme and whilst sitting here, you are still thinking about your problems
and worries. Oh, this happened to me, that happened to me. When should I discuss this with Mataji — what calamity has fallen
upon me? Mataji, you are the Goddess, these are my troubles. Instead of trying to understand what is being said, you continue to
overthink about your problems and are allured into illusions. These illusions cause you cancer, or else you get this disease or
that. This type of mental projections – what are we thinking? What type of thoughts do we get? Thoughts such as- we have this
grief, we have that grief, this mammoth problem. Instead, you should rather “count your blessings”. How many blessings the
Almighty has bestowed upon us? Crores of people live in this city of Delhi. How many of them have got Sahaja Yoga? We are
some special people; not some frivolous people who should spoil their attention. We have been blessed with Sahaja Yoga. We
should have a realization of this from within and should go deeper into that inner being. That is how you can get rid of these
deceitful limitations. If you will not break free from these limitations yourself, somehow you will start having such experiences
that will themselves break these shackles- when you think, this is ours. If you will say we are from Delhi, one day these people
from Delhi will outcast you. If you will say we are from Noida, then people from Noida will run after you with their guns. Then you
will realize why did I say I am from Noida. Then, when you will run towards Delhi, the people from Delhi will scorn you saying why
are you coming here now, you are from Noida. This way, you will belong nowhere and will have nowhere to call your own. The
reason for this is that your attention (Chitta) also belongs nowhere – neither this way nor that. Unless you realize and go deeper
into this, you might call yourself a Sahaja Yogini or a Sahaja Yogi, I don’t think you would have become one in the real sense.
Because the first attribute of a Sahaja Yogi is that he has tranquil attention (Chitta) and is extremely powerful – not scared of
anyone – is strong. And his life is very pure, his body is pure, his heart is pure and with the light of his Spirit (Atma) he spreads
love in the whole world. I think somebody who cannot love, cannot be a Sahaja Yogi at all. He hasn’t climbed even the first rung
of the ladder. Like you see, so many kites flying in the sky but the strings of all these kites are in someone’s hands (control). If
any of the kite’s string breaks, or if the grip is lost, one can never know where the kite will fly off. That hand is the Spirit (Atma).
So, keeping your attention towards your Spirit and making yourself pure in this process is the penance (tap swaroop) in Sahaja
Yoga. For this, you did a hawan today, this is also a penance (tapa) because fire engulfs and destroys all the things. Similarly, by
your penance all your bad thoughts, all the wrong and all your limitations within, are destroyed. Receiving this bliss is your right
and you can achieve this joy and you have achieved it too. But, to spread this joy, you must have the depth. If you go to Ganga Ji
(River Ganges) with a small bowl, you can fill water in it and come back. And, if you take a pitcher along, you can fill the pitcher
and be back. However, if you can make such arrangements that the water from the Ganges can be redirected towards you, you
can have all of the river water flowing around you. So, you should watch your state. Are you taking water in a bowl from Sahaja
Yoga? Are you limited to the joy of self? Or for everyone’s joy? Or, are you the source of this bliss. So, this Agnya Chakra is
penance (tapa), this is a penance. To attain depth, it is important to have austerity (tapaswita). We spread far and wide. Sahaja
Yoga spreads rapidly. Sometimes, you will see in programmes I wonder whether all people can be accommodated in the hall?
How will it be managed? It will spread rapidly. But how many attain the depth? So, for attaining this depth, austerity (tapaswita) is
required. By penance, I don’t mean you should sit and fast. It is not required. But, if your attention is on food, then you must
abstain from it. To watch your attention (Chitta) at all times, is the penance (tapaswita) in Sahaja Yoga. Because you may spoil
your Agnya due to your attention (Chitta). Where is my attention? What am I thinking? What am I doing at this moment? What am
I thinking? If you watch your attention, always watch your conscience (antarman), then your attention will be illuminated in the
Agnya. This is the penance (tapasya) to control your attention, observe and watch your attention and thoughts. Watch now,
where is your attention? I am talking and where is your attention. The moment you start talking about attention, where did it go?
The attention (Chitta) is so distracted. I am talking and where is your attention. So, you should watch your attention. Controlling
attention doesn’t mean doing it forcefully. But when you watch your attention in the light of your Spirit (atma), then your attention
becomes illuminated. You should be focused on watching your attention (Chitta). When you see anything, for example, this pillar
in front of me is adorned with beautiful flowers. Now in each vision you can observe something. I can remember everything,
where, which, wherever and how much is the difference. The whole image is formed. The attention’s (Chitta’s) concentration
(ekāgrata) is what forms these images. That is what improves your memory. You can know everything in totality. You come to
know of everything through your attention. But, if your attention is distracted, then you cannot grasp the depth or intensity of
anything. If your attention is moving outside all the time, you cannot remember anything. So, you see, I see this everywhere, like
at the airport – talking to someone here but looking elsewhere, looking here, then looking there. But you won’t remember
anything – who is it, what is it? So, pure attention (Chitta) is very focussed (ekāgra). And such attention will absorb only what is
worthy of being absorbed. Something that isn’t worthy, pure attention will not absorb it. It won’t look towards such things. It will
be averted from such things on its own. Because it is so pure, it can’t be corrupted by impure things. It won’t go there. Now this is
up to you that you watch within and see where your attention is going. This is the penance (tapa). In Sahaja Yoga this is the only
penance (tapa) – watch where the attention is going. Where am I going? Where is my heart going? If you can do this penance,
you will be able to cross the Agnya. And there are no doubts about Sahastrāra because I am already sitting there. | null | null | null | Translation from Hindi [...] you have come to the programme and whilst sitting here, you are still thinking about your problems

His
ideas about truth are also based on these different sources. Before realization it is .not possible to know what is the real source

authentic version. For a real seeker it is necessary to open the mind to receive the light of self-realization. He should not discard
or accept anything before the self-realization. Because none of the knowledge whether real or fake has granted self-realization.
About Kundalini and spiritual happening also there are many books. Some of them are correct, some of them confused and
some of them are absolutely false. When one. gets realization the being acts like a computer as if the inner subtle mechanism
has been connected with the mains. Through vibrations of chaitanya which appeal like cool breeze one can detect for oneself as
to what is reality. The Being realizes that it becomes the carrier of the dynamic force of Divine Love. He understands and records
its working. Then only one realizes the meaning of human personality which has evolved from an amoeba to this stage. The
totality of man is felt through the spiritual synthesis of physical, emotional and mental beings. And, if it works like child’s play
why should you worry how it’s done? If you are hungry you should start eating. I leave it to your wisdom and to your freedom to
feel the longing from inside. Sahaja Yoga is the fantastic gift of Nature that has revealed truths for the emancipation and
evolution of the human race. So far our evolution has taken place without our knowledge, but the ascent of man now is going to
be in his full awareness. In thousands of years man could not reach the moon, but to-day it is possible. The ignorant do not
believe of the human landing on the moon. In the same way those who learnt about God through books, and not through Sahaja
meditation, are equally ignorant. They have always denied incarnations, real prophets and real gurus. On the tree of life there
might have been very few flowers, but now the blossom time has come. Their fragrance of longing has collectively materialised
the manifestation of Sahaja Yoga. Many are going to jump into the realm of Thoughtless Awareness where you get introduced to
yourself and start identifying with your Universal Nature. Let us open our hearts and receive the blessings of God Almighty.

It was a very wise step on your part to have met Shri Gagan Gadh
Maharaj. What he says about the miracle of Sahaja Yoga is absolutely true. The reason why this great sanctuary never
manifested in reality was that whenever Adi Shakti descended as incarnation (She) did not have all the chakras integrated
through Sahasrara. The complete harmony and unison merged into an integrated instrument of her personality is bringing forth
these fantastic results. So much so that I am surprised at myself. I think he (Gagan Gadh Maharaj) also cannot imagine the
dynamics of this Discovery and hence he feels that 'Avadhutas' have to be away in the forests and that Cancer can give you
reaction. You have cured the Cancer of Phadke's father. Did it give you any reaction? When you are at a giving end how can you
receive anything? You are reborn as Lotus which does not take anything bad from muddy surroundings but transforms its
surroundings with its beauty and fills it with fragrance. This is the magic of a realised soul. Do you think doctors will accept that
there exists the Kingdom of God and that it creates us and that the Lord of our autonomous nervous system is our Spirit which is
the reflection of God? You can quote the names of people like Mr. Bose and Mr. Daftary and Mr. Sharma who is miraculously
cured of his colour blindness through Sahaja Yoga. In any case I am going to America next year. One of my dear Sons Dr.
Lanjewar has now become the president of the Medical Practitioners Association of New York and is very anxious to have a
conference next year in New York. Due to our slavery for so many years, doctors in India have lost the capacity to know that we
are the people born on the Yoga Bhumi. Their thinking is so slavish that they think all our ideas about medicine are stupid while
western knowledge is very sensible. I bless you with all my heart that Dr. Ramlingam has good vibrations. Shri Rama in him
would have wisdom to understand the ways of God Almighty. I send you my love and protection so that you can break that
barriers of ignorance of our medical men. Let them know that the time has come, for them to accept that science is not
every-thing. It only discovers whatever exists and appears before the gross being. Once we become subtle rising in the fourth
dimension, we see the subtle being, the Spirit and contentment and Divine working of this love. It cannot be done by argument.
One has to be realised. One has to evolve through Sahaja Yoga spontaneously as this is a living process. For Cancer, best
treatment is of water, i.e., putting feet in the river, sea or in the water at home with the photograph. Water has the religion
(Dharma) of cleansing and hence Shri Vishnu and Dattatreya, who are responsible for the religion (Dharma) of human beings, are
to be worshipped. They help you to cure and also the local Deity of the Chakra that is attacked. Put the patient before the
photograph with the candle and his feet being in the water, bring down your hands across the sympathetic nervous system
towards the water. The patient will cool down gradually. If he gets realization, then he is cured. More in the next. Your loving

there exists the Kingdom of God and that it creates us and that the Lord of our autonomous nervous system is our Spirit which is
the reflection of God? You can quote the names of people like Mr. Bose and Mr. Daftary and Mr. Sharma who is miraculously
cured of his colour blindness through Sahaja Yoga. In any case I am going to America next year. One of my dear Sons Dr.
Lanjewar has now become the president of the Medical Practitioners Association of New York and is very anxious to have a
conference next year in New York. Due to our slavery for so many years, doctors in India have lost the capacity to know that we
are the people born on the Yoga Bhumi. Their thinking is so slavish that they think all our ideas about medicine are stupid while
western knowledge is very sensible. I bless you with all my heart that Dr. Ramlingam has good vibrations. Shri Rama in him
would have wisdom to understand the ways of God Almighty. I send you my love and protection so that you can break that
barriers of ignorance of our medical men. Let them know that the time has come, for them to accept that science is not
every-thing. It only discovers whatever exists and appears before the gross being. Once we become subtle rising in the fourth
dimension, we see the subtle being, the Spirit and contentment and Divine working of this love. It cannot be done by argument.
One has to be realised. One has to evolve through Sahaja Yoga spontaneously as this is a living process. For Cancer, best
treatment is of water, i.e., putting feet in the river, sea or in the water at home with the photograph. Water has the religion
(Dharma) of cleansing and hence Shri Vishnu and Dattatreya, who are responsible for the religion (Dharma) of human beings, are
to be worshipped. They help you to cure and also the local Deity of the Chakra that is attacked. Put the patient before the
photograph with the candle and his feet being in the water, bring down your hands across the sympathetic nervous system
towards the water. The patient will cool down gradually. If he gets realization, then he is cured. More in the next. Your loving
Mother Nirmala |

he sang it with such devotion, sincerity and honesty. It's really just stirred up all the vibrations I know and you are feeling all that.
You see we Maharashtrans are very lucky people, that we had such saints who were realised souls. They knew about chaitanya.
They knew about vibrations. They knew about the higher life and all the time whatever they have sung is the hope that everybody
will get realisation, or they have described that state of realisation. I mean I must say the Maharashtrans are the luckiest people.
I don't know if they understand it or not but they are the most blessed people because there are so many saints who were
realised souls. They are [naftas] who were realised souls and all of them have sung the song and the place of this higher state
of life. And this one you can see now. This song also says same thing that let me go beyond this. But I must say one thing,
congratulating all these Sahaja Yogis from the west that they never had heard about these things, never. They never knew about
these things. They never knew there's another world so beautiful as that. But the way they have accepted it, they way they have
got into it and the way they are enjoying this Divine music is very remarkable. They have never studied any Indian music at all..
They have never heard any Indian music before, but the way they enjoy, it is because of chaitanya ok – because Indian music has
been coming from OM and that's why because you are Spirits you can enjoy it. [Hindi]. You see only an atma can appreciate this
song of atma. And that's why without understanding the language; without understanding the meaning; without understanding
the music and intricacies of that, just enjoying it. That's what we to do is to enjoy. After all why to have the – why to have
anything just to enjoy and this what we have to thank [unclear - Ajib?] for this thing. A great thing that he has done. He himself
has got his realisation and sings with that wonders and when he sings you see we get immediate vibrations. He is the only singer
I have seen so far and who has been that good, and who has been able to keep you united with the chaitanya. So we have to
thank him very much for this beautiful music which has touched all your heart and now in this song also he is saying, “Oh God
please make your heart large and give me realisation. So God always has a very large heart. Only thing you have to ask for
realisation you see it cannot be forced. So now the culmination of our spiritual life has come. All the saints have a meaning. All

written by Shri Mataji Herself in 1979, and appeared in a magazine called “Yoga Today”, which does not exist any more. The
image shows what it originally looked like in the magazine. MAN in his search of joy and happiness is running away from his Self,
which is the real source of joy. He finds himself very ugly and boring because he doesn’t know his Self. A human being seeks joy
in money or possessions, in power or human limited love, and ultimately in religion that is also outside. The problem is how to
turn one’s attention inward. The inner being, which is our awareness, is energy. I call it the energy of Divine Love. All evolution
and the manifestation of material energy is guided by the supreme energy of Divine Love. We do not know how powerful and
thoughtful this unknown energy is. The silent working of awareness is so automatic, minute, dynamic, and precious that we take
it for granted. After self realisation, this energy appears to us as silent throbbing vibrations flowing through our being. But we
have been unable to achieve self realisation because we cannot fix our attention on something that lacks form (abstract Being).
Instead, our attention wanders outside on forms.Now there is a method to tap the Divine power - Sahaja Yoga. At the very outset,
I have to say that the working of Sahaja Yoga is very simple, although the operation within is quite complex. For example, if you
want to watch television, it is very easy. But to explain the engineering technique of a television set is very difficult and the
explanation is complicated. To learn about a television you also need a qualified engineer who understands it and who can
explain its working.I will try to explain Sahaja Yoga in the simplest way, but please note that it is really complicated if you want to
know it in detail. The best way to enjoy television is first to switch it on and watch. Then later you can try to understand its
engineering. As a Mother I would say that I have done the cooking for you. Why should you worry about how it is done? If you are
hungry you should start eating. If you are not actually hungry, but only inquisitive, what can I do? I can neither force you to eat nor
make you hungry with discussions or lecturing. I leave it to your wisdom and to your freedom to feel that longing. SOME
BACKGROUND ON SAHAJA YOGAThe word ‘Sahaja’ (Saha + ja) means born with you or inborn. Whatever is inborn manifests
without any effort. Hence Sahaja Yoga is the name given to my system, which is effortless, easy, and spontaneous. It is a part of
Nature, you may call it life’s source-the vitality of the Divine.To understand life, consider the case of something that is living: a
germinating seed. The seed grows by itself into a tree, blooms into flowers, and then the flowers become fruit. Any human effort
cannot change the process of growth from a seed into a tree. The gardener can only look after the growth of the tree. In the
same way, the process of the growth of our consciousness, to further evolution, takes place effortlessly.When a foetus is
between two and three months old, in the mother’s womb, a column of rays of consciousness, emitted through the all-pervading
Divine Love, pass through the developing brain to enlighten it. The shape of the human brain is prism-like. So, the column of rays
falling on it gets refracted into four diverse channels corresponding to the four aspects of the nervous system.These are:1.
Parasympathetic nervous system2. Sympathetic nervous system (right)3. Sympathetic nervous system (left)4. Central nervous
System (This need not be discussed as it is the link with objectivity).The set of rays that fall on the fontanel bone (apex of the
head known as Taloo) pierce in the center and pass straight into the medulla oblongata through a channel (Sushumna). This
energy, after leaving a very thread-like, thin line in the medulla oblongata, settles down in three and a half coils in the triangular
bone at the base of the spinal cord (Mooladhar). This coiled energy is known as Kundalini. The subtle energy enters through the
center of the brain (Sahasrara Brahmarandhra) and precipitates six more centers on its way down. The gross manifestation of
this subtle energy, in the Sushumna channel of the spinal cord, is termed the Parasympathetic nervous system. The centers of
Chakras are expressed as plexuses outside the spinal cord. Surprisingly, we have the same number of plexuses and sub
plexuses outside, as the number of Chakras and their petals inside, the spinal cord.Medical science knows very little about this
system. Science calls it the autonomous nervous system, meaning the system that works spontaneously-on its own. For
example, if we want to increase the rate of our heartbeat, we can do so by exerting ourselves (activity of the sympathetic nervous
system). But we cannot directly reduce the heart (activity of the parasympathetic nervous system). The parasympathetic
nervous system is a system that is like a petrol pump through which the petrol of Divine Love fills us. But when a human child is
born and the umbilical cord breaks, a gap is created in the Sushumna (the subtle channel in the spinal cord). And on the gross
level, one can see there is a gap between the solar plexus and the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system. This gap
is known as the void in the Zen system of religion and Maya (or Bhav- Sagar) in Indian thought. Later when ego and superego
bloat up like balloons and cover our brain at the apex of the left and right sympathetic nervous systems, the fontanel bone
calcifies, and the all-pervading vital force of Divine Love gets cut off completely.Then the human being identifies himself as a
separate entity and the consciousness of ‘I’ (Aham) presides. This is why Man does not know His universal unconscious. His
ego severs this subtle connection. VITAL ENERGYThe sympathetic nervous system uses the vital energy. There are two
systems-left and right. The two channels, which carry this energy, in subtle form (in the medulla oblongata), are known as Ida
and Pingala respectively. The right-side system (in the right-handed person) caters to the emergencies of the active
consciousness (extra efforts and emergencies). The left-side system (in medicine they say it remains dormant) caters to the
subconscious mind of the psyche (libido).Both these sympathetic-nerve systems are called the Sun and Moon channels (i.e.,
Surya nadi and Chandra nadi). Hatha Yoga comes from the words Ha and Tha, meaning the Sun and Moon. By this yoga you can
control the activity of the sympathetic; you can use more stored energy or else completely stop the activity of the sympathetic
for a short time. Just by using the stored energy you cannot achieve the eternal flow of the Divine. With control over the
sympathetic you can slow the heart rate or even stop the heart for a short time. You may achieve all the physical gross
symptoms of the parasympathetic. But you cannot activate the parasympathetic which is the channel for your real yoga
(meeting of the Divine). With Hatha Yoga you may even control your mind. But the mind thus governed is heavily conditioned for
the spiritual flight into the divine. One may keep good health and good mind to be a good citizen in a society, but that is not the
only aim of life. THE CHANNELS OF ATTENTIONBoth sympathetic and parasympathetic act on the plexuses, but in opposition to
each other. The parasympathetic relaxes the plexuses while the sympathetic squeezes the energy by constricting them. One fills
in the vitality and the other consumes it.There is a gap in the parasympathetic nervous system (Sushumna) but no gap in the
sympathetic nervous system (at the navel). This is the hurdle that has rendered all our searching-and entry into the
parasympathetic-fruitless so far. It is like three ladders, two of them touching the ground while the central one is hanging in the
air. So whenever we try to rise in our consciousness, we move on to the sympathetic system. If we pass toward the right side we
enter onto the activity that goes on bloating in the balloon of ego. Thus we feel responsible and active. When this activity
increases beyond limits, like a growing tree whose roots are not equally grown, the being falls to the ground.Over activity of the
sympathetic nervous system causes tension, sleeplessness, and ultimately all deadly diseases like cancer. These diseases are
caused by the constricted plexuses that have been drained of their energy. If you can make the parasympathetic dominate the
right side, then we can antidote the effects of over activity. Then all the diseases and the effects caused by this right side get
cured automatically.The left side sympathetic nervous system (libido) has the power to store all that is dead in us. It connects
you with store houses of the subconscious mind and with the collective subconscious (Bhootlok or Paralok).At the backside of
the brain, at the apex of this channel, the super ego exists like a balloon. It becomes heavy by storing, the conditioning of the
mind through libido. So if the tension is heavy it breaks the superego into many fragments. If you still overexert by conditioning, a
partial vacuum forms and this sucks another dead personality from the collective subconscious (Paralok) into your superego. So
in your pursuit of truth, if you take to further efforts and indulge in concentration, training of the mind, forced abstinence, forced
meditation, or complete slavery to the emotional attachment of the mind, the libido with the aid of the affected superego may
connect you to the collective subconscious (Paralok) where all dead souls-bad, good, or saintly-exist. These souls start
manifesting through you and you get siddhis or extra sensory perceptions. Actually these are the different subtle (dead)
personalities dominating us through super ego. DANGEROUS TECHNIQUESThere is another method that may be effortlessly
employed by many so called teachers. This method, by which they turn the Chakra in the direction of the libido, can put you into
your subconscious. This method either makes the aspirant go into a trance or accept the complete domination of the dead
spirits introduced by the teacher through the plexuses.In the first case, the Sadhaka feels relaxed, his mind is switched off. But
after a few years of practice, he realises his weakness. He cannot face reality and takes to heavy use of drugs. In the second
case, the aspirant becomes a complete slave of the teacher and starts giving away all material possessions to the teacher
without understanding the logic behind it. These teachers never explain the technique they have employed, nor do they give their
powers to anybody else. In short, all efforts in the name of religion, or the mishandling of Kundalini by so called realised people,
can only activate the sympathetic nervous system (Ida and Pingala). These activities cannot make any progress toward bringing
about the play of parasympathetic (Sushumna).All mesmerize powers such as materialization power (enslaving masses for
money or fame), visionary powers (Drishti Siddha), speech powers (Vani Siddha), curing powers, transcendental feelings
(powers of switching off the mind), separation of body, and many other powers, are very ordinarily found among those who
practice the control of spirits (Pret siddhi or Smashan Vidya). All such powers can be proved to be the powers of the dead in any
one of our experimental Centers.These are not Divine powers because the Divine has no interest in these gross subjects. It is
interested only in the miracle of the inner being and its further manifestation to bring about human evolution. Thus those who
indulge and use their attention (Chitta) on such ‘siddhis’ and those who run after such gross miracles find it difficult to follow
Sahaja Yoga.We have noted that when such people confront Sahaja Yoga, they start trembling and shaking like lunatics. If with
very great difficulty such a person reaches the state of Self-realisation, he completely loses all interest in such powers and in
their exhibition. He is freed of all extra dead personalities who dominated him. There is no need to pass through the
subconscious strata to jump the unconscious. The subconscious is an end by itself and one gets lost after entering its realms.
These strata are placed vertically. The only direct way is through the parasympathetic (through Sushumna)-the central path that
takes you to the Divine (the universal unconscious)-through Sahaja Yoga.It is very dangerous to use the powers of the
subconscious which may become uncontrollable and torture the practitioner and Sadhaka. Those who are temporarily benefited
may suffer irreparable loss to body, mind, or grace. THE PROMISED GOALAll religions have promised inner silence when you
reach the state of Self-realisation-the inner miracle of the subtle awareness and not gross jugglery. The Bhagavad Gita says that
you become the witness (Sakshi Swarup) of the play of the Divine. Many modern thinkers are also talking about the new
awareness. This has been described as ‘thoughtless awareness’ which results in collective consciousness. We hear of many
prophesies made by ancient and modern writers about the evolution of a new race of super-human beings of unique awareness.
These are no longer empty words. Through the discovery of Sahaja Yoga it is possible to achieve the transformation of the
human consciousness to the higher planes promised by various seers.The subject of Kundalini is no longer a matter of book
knowledge. Now you can see, with the naked eye, the breathing of the Kundalini at the Mooladhara. You can feel the different
Chakras in the spinal cord with your fingers. Formerly, bridging the gap in the Sushumna was the insurmountable problem. But it
is being discovered that this gap can be filled with the vibrating power of Divine Love. The Kundalini rises like a majestic mother
and breaks the apex of the brain (Brahmarandhra) without giving the slightest trouble to the child (Sadhaka). It happens in a split
second, in the short spell between two successive thoughts. Of course, if the aspirant (Sadhaka) is diseased or his Chakras are
constricted by over activity of the sympathetic nervous system, the Kundalini, being the Mother of every individual and the
embodiment of love, knowledge, and beauty, knows how to reveal Her love beautifully and to give rebirth to Her child without
causing any hurt. There are many descriptions about Kundalini warning us against the dangers and perils of the taming of
Kundalini. Also many books describe various gross or frightful experiences of the Kundalini awakening.Actually this is caused
because Kundalini cannot rise without Sahaja Yoga, i.e., if someone, who is not Self-realised, tries to awaken Her, the Kundalini
does not leave Her seat and, without the proper invitation, the Kundalini becomes adamant and angry. Thus the sympathetic gets
into activity. When She is accused of sex, She sends heat waves over the sympathetic nervous system which causes the
constriction or blockage of the plexuses and the path of the Kundalini is completely broken down.Sometimes one gets into funny
gesticulations or loses complete awareness of the outside. Moreover with mishandling of Chakras and Kundalini due to the
ignorance or greed of the teacher, the chance of realisation for the aspirant can become very poor and sometimes
impossible.The mind that is very much conditioned, or the mind that is the slave of self-indulgence or of egoistic actions and
thoughts, is also a very slow conveyance for Sahaja Yoga. Even if you read too much about the de-conditioning of the mind, you
may get only further conditioned. If you try to de-condition by efforts, you can become conditioned much worse than what you
were. De-conditioning is only possible through Divine Love. The main ‘condition’ of Sahaja Yoga is that your will and freedom are
always respected. In Sahaja Yoga the person is fully aware and alert and receives inner silence and experience without doing any
unnatural movements. He sits in a completely easy pose throughout or he also may lie down (Sahajasana or Shavasana). The
breathing is normal or less than normal. RELIGIONReligions are also the expressions and experiments of realised souls-the
seers. They also talk about the inner being, second birth, and about realization. In the beginning, in India, they tried to take the
attention inside by introducing symbols that they saw of this unconscious, universal being within. This gave rise to pantheism
and the aspirant’s attention got stuck to symbols (Sakar) and to rituals which killed the main objective.So the other type of
experiments of talking only about the abstract (Nirakar) gave rise to many other religions which ended up as dogmas or ‘isms.’
The reason is obvious. Talking about the flower or the honey cannot take you to the honey but can only create dogmatic ‘isms’ in
the mind. You have to be a bee to reach there, i.e., you have to be reborn. This has to happen within to take you inside. It is too
great an achievement and unbelievable, but I feel the search of ages has brought great results. THE END OF THE PATHThe mind,
with a child-like innocence achieves very quick results. Whatever may be the loads of the mind, if the longing is honest and
earnest, sooner or later, the aspirant can get Self-realisation. After reaching this state the vibrations start emitting from the
extremities. These are described by Adi Shankaracharya in his work ‘Ananda Lahari.’ These vibrations are the waves of Divine
Love that can fill also other persons’ inner being and give them the same experience of Self-realisation. This is how the chain
reaction starts. One light enlightens another.The physical manifestations are as follows:The pupils of the eyes become dilated
(Parasympathetic action). The face becomes radiant, the body becomes light, all tension is completely removed. The rising of
the Kundalini can be seen by others and felt by the aspirant. First the throbbing is clearly felt at Sahasrara (apex of the brain) and
when it stops, complete silence is felt within and in all awareness. The flow of grace is felt coming down, cooling the whole
being. As the attention moves to the subtle, gross attachments drop out. A person gradually loses identification with falsehood
and artificiality.In matter, he sees beauty and not its possession value. In knowledge, he identifies himself with the Truth and is
not afraid to profess, nor does he indulge in the double standards of life. His flow of love becomes spontaneous, generous,
without any tinge of attachment, possession or any return. The person becomes ageless-a hollow personality.Now let us see
what happens inside.The attention of the consciousness moves to the inner being (Kundalini). As the thread (Sutra) of a
necklace is passing through every bead of the necklace, the inner consciousness (Kundalini) is also passing through every
human being.As soon as our attention moves to our inner consciousness we can move on to everybody’s Kundalini. One starts
feeling the Kundalini, its nature, its position in other persons. Collective consciousness is thus established. Now you become a
universal being. After some days you cannot say who the other person is. The power of love is so great and dynamic that with
the movement of your fingers you can move the Kundalini of thousands. It becomes child’s play.This is how the en masse
evolution of human beings will take place. These are the signs of the advent of the Golden age of Truth (Satya Yoga).Let us
forget whatever hardships we have suffered in our search in the past. It does not matter if some could not find it before this. You
have to open your mind and understand that though the discovery is unprecedented, it does not make any seeker or predecessor
small. If some experiments are made, it does not matter if, ultimately, we have found out the way. It is a collective achievement.
Perhaps in the chaos of Kali Yoga it was to happen and many of us, who have been earnestly searching in many lives, are reborn
to have their promises fulfilled by the Divine. Maybe we were our own predecessors.On the tree of life there might have been very
few flowers but now the blossom time has come. Their fragrance of longing has collectively materialized the manifestation of
Sahaja Yoga. Many are going to jump into the realm of thoughtless awareness where you get introduced to yourself and start
identifying with your universal nature.Those who deserve will get the throne of their inner being which rules the skies of peace,
and the oceans of divine love and supreme knowledge within, which is limitless (Anand). | null | null | null | Sahaja Yoga - A Unique Discoveryby Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1979 The beautiful article, A Unique Discovery was
written by Shri Mataji Herself in 1979, and appeared in a magazine called “Yoga Today”, which does not exist any more. The
image shows what it originally looked like in the magazine. MAN in his search of joy and happiness is running away from his Self,
which is the real source of joy. He finds himself very ugly and boring because he doesn’t know his Self. A human being seeks joy
in money or possessions, in power or human limited love, and ultimately in religion that is also outside. The problem is how to
turn one’s attention inward. The inner being, which is our awareness, is energy. I call it the energy of Divine Love. All evolution
and the manifestation of material energy is guided by the supreme energy of Divine Love. We do not know how powerful and
thoughtful this unknown energy is. The silent working of awareness is so automatic, minute, dynamic, and precious that we take
it for granted. After self realisation, this energy appears to us as silent throbbing vibrations flowing through our being. But we
have been unable to achieve self realisation because we cannot fix our attention on something that lacks form (abstract Being).
Instead, our attention wanders outside on forms.Now there is a method to tap the Divine power - Sahaja Yoga. At the very outset,
I have to say that the working of Sahaja Yoga is very simple, although the operation within is quite complex. For example, if you
want to watch television, it is very easy. But to explain the engineering technique of a television set is very difficult and the
explanation is complicated. To learn about a television you also need a qualified engineer who understands it and who can
explain its working.I will try to explain Sahaja Yoga in the simplest way, but please note that it is really complicated if you want to
know it in detail. The best way to enjoy television is first to switch it on and watch. Then later you can try to understand its
engineering. As a Mother I would say that I have done the cooking for you. Why should you worry about how it is done? If you are
hungry you should start eating. If you are not actually hungry, but only inquisitive, what can I do? I can neither force you to eat nor
make you hungry with discussions or lecturing. I leave it to your wisdom and to your freedom to feel that longing. SOME
BACKGROUND ON SAHAJA YOGAThe word ‘Sahaja’ (Saha + ja) means born with you or inborn. Whatever is inborn manifests
without any effort. Hence Sahaja Yoga is the name given to my system, which is effortless, easy, and spontaneous. It is a part of
Nature, you may call it life’s source-the vitality of the Divine.To understand life, consider the case of something that is living: a
germinating seed. The seed grows by itself into a tree, blooms into flowers, and then the flowers become fruit. Any human effort
cannot change the process of growth from a seed into a tree. The gardener can only look after the growth of the tree. In the
same way, the process of the growth of our consciousness, to further evolution, takes place effortlessly.When a foetus is
between two and three months old, in the mother’s womb, a column of rays of consciousness, emitted through the all-pervading
Divine Love, pass through the developing brain to enlighten it. The shape of the human brain is prism-like. So, the column of rays
falling on it gets refracted into four diverse channels corresponding to the four aspects of the nervous system.These are:1.
Parasympathetic nervous system2. Sympathetic nervous system (right)3. Sympathetic nervous system (left)4. Central nervous
System (This need not be discussed as it is the link with objectivity).The set of rays that fall on the fontanel bone (apex of the
head known as Taloo) pierce in the center and pass straight into the medulla oblongata through a channel (Sushumna). This
energy, after leaving a very thread-like, thin line in the medulla oblongata, settles down in three and a half coils in the triangular
bone at the base of the spinal cord (Mooladhar). This coiled energy is known as Kundalini. The subtle energy enters through the
center of the brain (Sahasrara Brahmarandhra) and precipitates six more centers on its way down. The gross manifestation of
this subtle energy, in the Sushumna channel of the spinal cord, is termed the Parasympathetic nervous system. The centers of
Chakras are expressed as plexuses outside the spinal cord. Surprisingly, we have the same number of plexuses and sub
plexuses outside, as the number of Chakras and their petals inside, the spinal cord.Medical science knows very little about this
system. Science calls it the autonomous nervous system, meaning the system that works spontaneously-on its own. For
example, if we want to increase the rate of our heartbeat, we can do so by exerting ourselves (activity of the sympathetic nervous
system). But we cannot directly reduce the heart (activity of the parasympathetic nervous system). The parasympathetic
nervous system is a system that is like a petrol pump through which the petrol of Divine Love fills us. But when a human child is
born and the umbilical cord breaks, a gap is created in the Sushumna (the subtle channel in the spinal cord). And on the gross
level, one can see there is a gap between the solar plexus and the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system. This gap
is known as the void in the Zen system of religion and Maya (or Bhav- Sagar) in Indian thought. Later when ego and superego
bloat up like balloons and cover our brain at the apex of the left and right sympathetic nervous systems, the fontanel bone
calcifies, and the all-pervading vital force of Divine Love gets cut off completely.Then the human being identifies himself as a
separate entity and the consciousness of ‘I’ (Aham) presides. This is why Man does not know His universal unconscious. His
ego severs this subtle connection. VITAL ENERGYThe sympathetic nervous system uses the vital energy. There are two
systems-left and right. The two channels, which carry this energy, in subtle form (in the medulla oblongata), are known as Ida
and Pingala respectively. The right-side system (in the right-handed person) caters to the emergencies of the active
consciousness (extra efforts and emergencies). The left-side system (in medicine they say it remains dormant) caters to the
subconscious mind of the psyche (libido).Both these sympathetic-nerve systems are called the Sun and Moon channels (i.e.,
Surya nadi and Chandra nadi). Hatha Yoga comes from the words Ha and Tha, meaning the Sun and Moon. By this yoga you can
control the activity of the sympathetic; you can use more stored energy or else completely stop the activity of the sympathetic
for a short time. Just by using the stored energy you cannot achieve the eternal flow of the Divine. With control over the
sympathetic you can slow the heart rate or even stop the heart for a short time. You may achieve all the physical gross
symptoms of the parasympathetic. But you cannot activate the parasympathetic which is the channel for your real yoga
(meeting of the Divine). With Hatha Yoga you may even control your mind. But the mind thus governed is heavily conditioned for
the spiritual flight into the divine. One may keep good health and good mind to be a good citizen in a society, but that is not the
only aim of life. THE CHANNELS OF ATTENTIONBoth sympathetic and parasympathetic act on the plexuses, but in opposition to
each other. The parasympathetic relaxes the plexuses while the sympathetic squeezes the energy by constricting them. One fills
in the vitality and the other consumes it.There is a gap in the parasympathetic nervous system (Sushumna) but no gap in the
sympathetic nervous system (at the navel). This is the hurdle that has rendered all our searching-and entry into the
parasympathetic-fruitless so far. It is like three ladders, two of them touching the ground while the central one is hanging in the
air. So whenever we try to rise in our consciousness, we move on to the sympathetic system. If we pass toward the right side we
enter onto the activity that goes on bloating in the balloon of ego. Thus we feel responsible and active. When this activity
increases beyond limits, like a growing tree whose roots are not equally grown, the being falls to the ground.Over activity of the
sympathetic nervous system causes tension, sleeplessness, and ultimately all deadly diseases like cancer. These diseases are
caused by the constricted plexuses that have been drained of their energy. If you can make the parasympathetic dominate the
right side, then we can antidote the effects of over activity. Then all the diseases and the effects caused by this right side get
cured automatically.The left side sympathetic nervous system (libido) has the power to store all that is dead in us. It connects
you with store houses of the subconscious mind and with the collective subconscious (Bhootlok or Paralok).At the backside of
the brain, at the apex of this channel, the super ego exists like a balloon. It becomes heavy by storing, the conditioning of the
mind through libido. So if the tension is heavy it breaks the superego into many fragments. If you still overexert by conditioning, a
partial vacuum forms and this sucks another dead personality from the collective subconscious (Paralok) into your superego. So
in your pursuit of truth, if you take to further efforts and indulge in concentration, training of the mind, forced abstinence, forced
meditation, or complete slavery to the emotional attachment of the mind, the libido with the aid of the affected superego may
connect you to the collective subconscious (Paralok) where all dead souls-bad, good, or saintly-exist. These souls start
manifesting through you and you get siddhis or extra sensory perceptions. Actually these are the different subtle (dead)
personalities dominating us through super ego. DANGEROUS TECHNIQUESThere is another method that may be effortlessly
employed by many so called teachers. This method, by which they turn the Chakra in the direction of the libido, can put you into
your subconscious. This method either makes the aspirant go into a trance or accept the complete domination of the dead
spirits introduced by the teacher through the plexuses.In the first case, the Sadhaka feels relaxed, his mind is switched off. But

without understanding the logic behind it. These teachers never explain the technique they have employed, nor do they give their
powers to anybody else. In short, all efforts in the name of religion, or the mishandling of Kundalini by so called realised people,
can only activate the sympathetic nervous system (Ida and Pingala). These activities cannot make any progress toward bringing
about the play of parasympathetic (Sushumna).All mesmerize powers such as materialization power (enslaving masses for

Now, the
women are intelligent and the women of the west being intelligent and educated have developed a kind of a very complex
situation around themselves. These things have made them a kind of a man without manliness, and that is why their whole
behaviour becomes extremely odd. Sometimes I just don't understand, but now I've started understanding, that the way the
women are, they want to dominate men. But they don't understand that by dominating you cannot create good relationship. Now,
to dominate a man one way could be just to go on behaving like a man, you see, pushing him around and all that, saying, "Don't
do this. I don't like it. This is not good. That is not good". But that is not so sophisticated. So, the other way is to all the time talk
about the miseries of your past. "I am like this. This is wrong with me". All the time she's sick. All the time she's miserable. All the
time she's insecure. All the time she's so dependent, she needs her husband. She wants the attention of the husband. The
husband must look after her. Ultimately, I think the husbands must be getting absolutely fed up and running away from the
wives. And that must be why the prostitution is so strong here, because at least the prostitute tries to please the husband and
not to make him miserable, because she has to earn her living. And I think it is just the other way round in India. There the men
will fuss. The men will say, "This is not good". They will say, "We are sick and you must look after us", and all that. They don't say
that we have to look after you. They say that you have to look after us. And the women think that, because they are their wives,
they are their shaktis and they have to bear it upon themselves and give them the joy. Now, the women here have another very
bad capacity, in Sahaja Yoga I have seen it, that they always say that the negativity attacks, all the time, for any rhyme and
reason. Like just now somebody told me that when you have a child you feel more attacked by negativity because you are on
your own. Imagine ! When you have a child you have such a great company of your child. I mean, for an Indian mother, as soon
as she is pregnant she feels the happiness. When the child is born, she feels the company of the child. For her nothing more is
needed than that her own child is there, and then, through her child, she learns how to love other children. But here even when the
children are born they put the same nonsense on them. "Oh, how bad is my husband, he has done so much to me, and how bad is
this world, and how bad was my mother...'' And this is how they try to dominate the children, making that child absolutely
miserable. That is how we get to these "Les Miserables". From where it has come ?—the sources are here. Now, if they are
uneducated they are even worse, because they have a complex. If they are less intelligent there is another problem. They try to
play all dirty tricks with the husband and with other people. If their husband has any relationship with anyone they don't like it. It
is most surprising, isn't it ? Like friendship; or if the husband wants to talk to some other men,—not women of course, women
you can have some objection,—but I can't understand, that they don't like friends of the husband, to come in the house. It is the
other way round in India. The husband's friends are very much welcomed and looked after by the wife, and there is a sweet
relationship between them, and they call her the sister-in-law. It is very sweet. But here it is just the other way round. They just
abhor all the relations of the husband, and this is something most surprising because the husband is not single. All his relations
are part and parcel of him. He is obliged to them, related to them, or he is attached to them, and if she really loves the husband,
then she should accept the other relationships also. Then, all their lives they have lived like this, by making, I would say, a show
that they are miserable, and they continue with it after they are married. And in Sahaja Yoga also, I have seen the way they
behave. Towards any calamity an Indian woman will stand up. She is the one who will stand up, at the time of calamity.
Otherwise she will not show. She is not on the scene. Nobody will know there is a woman working, she is not the one who will
talk first. For example, if my husband and I are sitting and there is an interviewer, he will say that this woman is deaf and dumb,
she doesn't talk. Really, many people who have seen us together say, "We never knew about you. Your husband never said a
word about you." You see, like that, it is very common, woman just keeps outside. People didn't know that I could be Mataji
because those who had known me otherwise had never seen me talking, because you are not supposed to talk when your
husband is talking, you just keep quiet. Here it is the other way round. If there is an interviewer, the woman will talk first. The man
will be sitting like a big mouse, looking round and opening his mouth a little bit to say something. The aggression of these
women is very subtle. They come up with such sinister questions, anything they say has a sting and then you get fed up of such
a person and that is why there are divorces. The men of the west are much better than Indian men. They are not dominating.
They understand the value of women. They have given so much freedom to them. They have given them so much prestige and
honour. But if you give something to women, they should be capable of bearing it up, isn't it? What is the use of giving everything
equal to them when they have no capacity to bear it? That is why it is such an imbalance, I find, for women the way they are so
sinister about the whole of life. Life is beautiful, full of joy, happiness, bliss. Morning until evening if you go on making somebody
miserable then you are against life. You are against God. This they must realise. The whole thing is that they have got equality
without evolving themselves up to that point. It is rather like the Arabs. They got the Cadillacs. First they were on the camels or
on the donkeys, then they became rich Arabs and they had Cadillacs. Now, by sitting in the Cadillac you don't become a cultured
man. You see, in the same way if the women are suddenly made to feel, oh, they are equal, this, that; they have not developed
that panache, as you say in your language. They haven't developed that sophistication. So the inferiority works out and they go
on pinching the men all the time. Every word, and the tongue also doesn't have that sweetness. But in our Sahaja Yoga we have
seen some very great Sahaja Yoginis, who are really senior women, I would suggest. Like you can say......, a solid woman, very
solid woman, very solid woman, and she understands things very well. Like......she is a good wife, no doubt, she makes her
husband happy........... is another one. See, these people have that sweetness about their husbands and I have never seen them
telling me about their miseries or thinking about their past or anything. Never. Never. Always they said we were happily married.
...... told me, "we were happily married". Her husband was a Russian, and they had a problem because of the war, but she never
said that my husband made me miserable, or this thing, that thing. Never. I never heard them saying like that. And even if that is
the case, or something is there, you should be happy. Even if, say, your husband is a bad man, he is not a Sahaja Yogi, you should
be happy. In Sahaja Yoga it is compulsory that you should be happy, you should be joyous and you have to be joyful. There is no
place for people who are miserable. If they try to go on with this they w ill have to get out of Sahaja Yoga. Take it from me. All of
them w ill be thrown out. If you do not want to come up you will be out for good. So, it is a challenge for all the Sahaja Yoginis in
the West that you must be joyous. You must be happy people. Now, you see that in any case like this they build up their ego very
subtly. If you just say that, "No, that is not good", immediately they start crying, you know they are upset. Men don't know what to
do, because these women have picked up their own images and they want to do whatever they think, and if men see something
more than they do, and say, "Do this, this would be better", they are finished. They get identified with these things. So, you can't
say that they are left-sided, but they are egotistical. And in this ego there is a sinister attitude by which they make the men and
woman and children miserable. So, this must be stopped now. Anymore of this misery is to be stopped in the West. Nothing.
What is this misery you have got ? You should go and see the women of India who are smiling and laughing. They have children
to look after. They have ten, eleven, twelve children to look after. They have no money. Early in the morning, at four o'clock, they
have to get up and take their bath because of conditions in India. They cannot laze out like you do. And then they go to the well,
fill the water and bring it home. You see—beautiful, see their faces shining. They come home, put the food down there, slowly
wake up their husbands, put things for his bath, look after their children, clean the house. By the time the children are up they see
the clean house, you should see how much they work hard. And you will not know that they are working. Absolutely silent. You
have seen how these women used to cook. Did you ever hear any body outside ? As soon as people are coming they are serene.
They are looking after them. They are intelligent, I mean,...... is an income tax officer, do you know that ? ......is an income tax
officer. They are officers, but how do they behave ? Have you ever seen them anywhere in anyway asserting themselves? Never.
In India education is very strong. Most of the girls in India are at least graduates, actually, at least. But there is no ego about it.
They understand their position as wife and as a woman, and they know that they are the ones who are the source of joy, and they
have to give that joy to others. Here the women don't understand how much they can give joy. After all your Mother is a woman
and if She can give so much joy why shouldn't you be able to? And this is what it is. I just don't understand, such a great potential,
such a great source just cut. Just cut. That is why, you see, the motherhood is lacking, nothing else but the motherhood. The
women are all right nothing wrong with them, it is the motherhood. Even a little child in India—see our Anupama is hardly now six
years old. She came to speak in my ear, "Who is this baby here sitting smiling ?*' I said his name is Machendra Nath. "Ah I this is
Machendra Nath."! She is a six year old girl, she doesn't know how to carry, you remember, she took the baby. Then she wanted
to give him something to eat. If you have any child bring it home. These two girls will look after it, give food to it, they will look
after it. They are just all the time, you know, nursing the children. Even to the grandfather, "Now,can I feed you ?" Grandmother of
course, but to the grandfather! "Can I feed you ? Would you like to have this ?'* I take my bath, I come out and she is there with
the powder to sprinkle on my feet and to wipe them with the towel. All the time they are running up and down. You can't imagine
how motherly they are, to me. To me, they are motherly. To their grandfather they are motherly. Early in the morning—this Shumi
was about two and a half years old, very small—so early in the morning she used to see the grandfather sitting there. She used to
go into the room, take his newspaper—just hardly used to walk, you see—and his spectacles and bring them to him. What does it
take ? But if the attention is all the time to extract others, it comes from some sort of very sinister idea. It is very repulsive. It is
not that I have seen it once, but when I talk to them, I really feel very disgusted sometimes. And I feel, oh God, these women
when they marry what will happen ? And when they marry, I see. And that is why the men here don't know what to do. You see, if
you have any problem, a woman has to bear it. Indian women have great courage. Like when the war started in India, a woman,
who was a widow and a queen, she rode on horse herself, she tied her sari, she took her child at the back—she was a queen—and
jumped from the fortress about a hundred feet down and she fought the British. She died, of course. The British killed her. But
the Britisher himself—the general—wrote that, "We won the battle, but the victory and the glory was that of Lakshmi Bai." Not only
that but there are many women like that. Wondrous. But they would only show up if there is a calamity. When things reach the
cusp of just drama, that time they come up. Otherwise they are quiet. You see, that kind of thing should be the womanhood. I
mean, if I have to tell you about Indian women, I will have to give you a big lecture. Really. And you have seen how they behave,
how dignified and how sweet and ...I must take my hat off to them. They are mature in the womanhood in the best possible way,
the potential of women. See they worked so hard. If you remember a little girl who was married and she invited us for breakfast,
about three years back, a little one, very small. We had gone to a canal and she said, "Tomorrow, Mother, you come and have
breakfast at my place"., and I said, "No, it is too much. We are so many people, about thirty five people. How will you feed us ?,"
And apart from that the other leaders were also there. "Oh, I will manage", she said, and when we went there she gave us such a
nice breakfast. And all the neighboring women—you see, they got up at 4 o'clock, did everything—and all of them in really great
joy, that Mother is coming to our house and they were so enamored about it. That is called as "fondness" in India. There are no
words for joy here. There are no words for different joys, but it is this fondness of people, and they were feeling obliged that we
were eating. And I ate and ate. I said, "No, I am too full, I can't eat any more," and they said, ''Mother, you didn't like anything, or
what ?"—and giving and giving. So sweet. And so many, I think I told them thirty five, there were fifty. Arranged like that also, and
in a small little house, they arranged in front of the thing. Very silent, very silent. Very efficient, because of the efficiency, you see,
of love, that they could manage it. It is so, sweet, and little, little things they do. It is so much energy that goes in. So nice. And
this time I am going to write even to the Poona ladies, that they should arrange our food, not in the Rajwade Karyalaya and you
will see how they will arrange it. They will get all the best vegetables of the market, the best chickens of the market, and the best
of everything and do the best that they can, put all their heart into it. "The saints are coming to our house, the saints are coming
to our house". The beauty is this, and despite this, many people think that Indian women are very much suppressed because of
their goodness. They don't mind. They say our goodness cannot be suppressed. Goodness is a thing that is more important than
suppression and oppression and all that. They don't take to all these nonsensical ideas. Not at all. It is so nice. And then the
husbands feet attached. You see, my daughter, now she receives her husband's phone calls practically every day from Saudi
Arabia. Look at my husband. Now, he is an old man of sixty-five years. If you leave it to him he will telephone to me ten times. I
tell him don't telephone all the time, but he will go on telephoning. You see, that is the source, so you want to talk and you want to
have something. But here it is the other way round, they want to extract from you. What is there for men to give ? It is women
who have to give. Women have to give. They don't realize their potential and they go on eating somebody's head all the time.
How can they love him? They cannot. And that is what I think of when I tell Indian men to marry western women. They shudder a
bit, because why should they make themselves miserable ? Just think, if they know about western women as they are. So, this
must change. We are Sahaja Yogis. We have nothing to do with western ideas of women and all that. I don't know, whatever
book I have read about western women, about the heroines and all that, they were never like this. This is something else I am
seeing actually from what I have read. (Question: Could western women imitate Indian women?) Also they should, but there is no
need to imitate, because you are Sahaja Yogis. You get it spontaneously. Just accept that. Now accept that. Whatever is the past
is past. You can do it. Our job is to make everybody happy and joyous. That is it. That is our job. That is the source we have got.
We are the source of joy. Accept this situation. We are the source of joy, of confidence, of love, and affection, and kindness and
gentleness. Then, once in a while, if the husband does wrong you have a right to tell him. He w ill never mind it. But all the time if
you go on coaxing him he will say, "Oh, this permanent, mundane, every day." This needed saying. Even Australian women should
be told. This is very common. But they are very sweet, ah? Don't trouble the girls, if they don't trouble you, then you shouldn't
trouble them. | null | null | null | Advice to Western Women from Nirmala Yoga, Issue 20 (March-April 1984), Pages 33--38 Now, this is in the West. Now, the
women are intelligent and the women of the west being intelligent and educated have developed a kind of a very complex
situation around themselves. These things have made them a kind of a man without manliness, and that is why their whole
behaviour becomes extremely odd. Sometimes I just don't understand, but now I've started understanding, that the way the
women are, they want to dominate men. But they don't understand that by dominating you cannot create good relationship. Now,
to dominate a man one way could be just to go on behaving like a man, you see, pushing him around and all that, saying, "Don't
do this. I don't like it. This is not good. That is not good". But that is not so sophisticated. So, the other way is to all the time talk
about the miseries of your past. "I am like this. This is wrong with me". All the time she's sick. All the time she's miserable. All the
time she's insecure. All the time she's so dependent, she needs her husband. She wants the attention of the husband. The
husband must look after her. Ultimately, I think the husbands must be getting absolutely fed up and running away from the
wives. And that must be why the prostitution is so strong here, because at least the prostitute tries to please the husband and
not to make him miserable, because she has to earn her living. And I think it is just the other way round in India. There the men
will fuss. The men will say, "This is not good". They will say, "We are sick and you must look after us", and all that. They don't say
that we have to look after you. They say that you have to look after us. And the women think that, because they are their wives,
they are their shaktis and they have to bear it upon themselves and give them the joy. Now, the women here have another very
bad capacity, in Sahaja Yoga I have seen it, that they always say that the negativity attacks, all the time, for any rhyme and
reason. Like just now somebody told me that when you have a child you feel more attacked by negativity because you are on
your own. Imagine ! When you have a child you have such a great company of your child. I mean, for an Indian mother, as soon
as she is pregnant she feels the happiness. When the child is born, she feels the company of the child. For her nothing more is
needed than that her own child is there, and then, through her child, she learns how to love other children. But here even when the
children are born they put the same nonsense on them. "Oh, how bad is my husband, he has done so much to me, and how bad is
this world, and how bad was my mother...'' And this is how they try to dominate the children, making that child absolutely
miserable. That is how we get to these "Les Miserables". From where it has come ?—the sources are here. Now, if they are
uneducated they are even worse, because they have a complex. If they are less intelligent there is another problem. They try to
play all dirty tricks with the husband and with other people. If their husband has any relationship with anyone they don't like it. It
is most surprising, isn't it ? Like friendship; or if the husband wants to talk to some other men,—not women of course, women
you can have some objection,—but I can't understand, that they don't like friends of the husband, to come in the house. It is the
other way round in India. The husband's friends are very much welcomed and looked after by the wife, and there is a sweet
relationship between them, and they call her the sister-in-law. It is very sweet. But here it is just the other way round. They just

We are the source of joy. Accept this situation. We are the source of joy, of confidence, of love, and affection, and kindness and
gentleness. Then, once in a while, if the husband does wrong you have a right to tell him. He w ill never mind it. But all the time if
you go on coaxing him he will say, "Oh, this permanent, mundane, every day." This needed saying. Even Australian women should
be told. This is very common. But they are very sweet, ah? Don't trouble the girls, if they don't trouble you, then you shouldn't
trouble them. |
1/1/1970 | http://amruta.org/?p=11626 | The Essence of Sahaja Yoga, from Nirmala Yoga, Issue 19, Jan.-Feb. 1984, Pages 28–32 | Country Unknown | City Unknown | Draft | null | null | null | null | N | N | N | Quote | English | 0 | The Essence of Sahaja Yoga, from Nirmala Yoga In today's talk I will dwell on the essence of Sahaja Yoga. I am sure that it has
been explained to you before. Besides, most of you are from Sahaja Yoga itself. So I need not go into details. First of all we need
to understand that we are passing through an extremely serious time pregnant with unpredictable consequences. When we look
at life we do not seem to understand that if we miss this opportunity which has come our way, for our evolution, we will not only
be depriving ourselves of it or this country, England, but also it will be a stupendous loss for the whole of creation. The trouble,
however, is that in the name of God, of evolution and of higher life, a plethora of of spurious people have come out making it
well-nigh difficult to convince anyone of the existence of truth. Under the circumstances one has to talk about truth. But mere
talking about truth rarely leads to the experience of truth. It is altogether a different realm, a new awareness which you will have
to get to understand the truth for which I do not know how many of you are really prepared or how many of you would like to
know. Or even if you would like to, yet how many of you will really achieve it. But the problem is the other way round. It is not a
problem that we have only a few people, nor that I cannot give realisation. It is also not a problem that you cannot know the truth.
The irony is that whatever is false, spurious or silly finds quick acceptance among the masses. Sometimes I feel that I have
developed a unique method by which I can give realisation en masse all over the world. But it really poses a problem for me if the
masses are not interested. In fact, it is only very few who take a keen interest in their evolutionary process and would like to
come out of their ignorance in which they have been living. In all the ego-oriented countries it is very difficult to bring home the
truth that we are still ignorant. We have to know a lot. It is very difficult because they think they know everything, because they
have been to the moon. The Russians, for instance, still say that they saw no God when they orbited in space, which is like saying
that one has been to the third floor but hasn't seen the top. Where does God reside ? Where does He manifest within us ? In what
manner does He manifest ? We do not know what to see. What we want to see is possible only through our effort. 'If we have not
been able to see God, then He does not exist.' This is how we develop our attitude in this matter. But better say 'no' to all that we
did not know through our effort. Because we have not known about Him. So He does not exist. You turn round in a cave. So when
you see a shadow of yourself you believe in that only and say, 'nothing else existed.' The light does not exist. That kind of attitude
I have persistently been facing. And sometimes I do not know how to give them realisation. Now you have to start the other way
round. You have to seek. You have to ask for it. Nobody is going to fall at your feet and say "Well, you get your realisation. You
have this, for heaven's sake, please have it". Because nothing is selling here. You are used to salesmanship, that is, if anything is
selling you have to be persuaded or requested. You can save pounds for a sale and all that. But nothing is for sale here. This is a
very difficult thing for people to understand. In this present day atmosphere, where we do not know if we can get anything which
is not for sale. However, I hope, slowly and steadily all of us have to get our realisation. Somehow, we have to work very hard.
Sometimes it is very frustrating and sometimes so stupid—the way people react. Like the other day when we had a meeting at
Brighton I was laughing all the while. It is so sad. A gentleman who came to our programme made complaints. Look, who has
got time to put him on a video; who is interested in taking his photograph. He says he is a managing director. So what ? In the
presence of the Divine what is a managing director or what is even a King ? Just think of it. Who is he ? What does he think of
himself ? He has complained against us. Even the laws are so stupid sometimes that one can hardly understand. Has he got any
right to complain if he comes to a programme which is being conducted with a video on me or if you are photographed ? How
can you complain? On one side I find such stupid people and on the other a host of genuine seekers. How to reach them ? They
are like a diamond covered with mud. So much mud. To find out the diamond in the mud, one has to dive into a mine of
ignorance, to get that diamond which is lost. It concerns me so much that I feel this mud is going to cover their brains and their
eyes whatever else they have, so that they may not receive their realisation. They may miss it. Actually the Divine does not know
what human beings have created. Really, I tell you, the Divine is in the dark as to all the nonsenses that you have created around
you. All kinds of nonsenses you have created out of your ignorance, out of your ego and out of the choice that you had. I can't
explain why people have created this kind of ignorance which cannot be broken or removed. Because you are so much identified
with it. It is like a stuck up stamp which refuses to come off. And when such a thing happens you feel 'O, God' ! The whole
creation has been created, the whole working has taken place and the human beings have grown so well having reached this
stage. But now in this modern life which they are leading you find them so stupid and foolish that they have begun deluding
others with their stupidity and foolishness. How are we to approach those people who are true seekers ? Those who have been
seekers for ages ? All their lives before have been lost. Sometimes it is very disappointing. But still hoping against hopes, I hope
we reach all the corners of the universe where we find all people who are true seekers. It is their power to know the Divine; know
the Divine. It is not for those who are managing directors or kings or something ! What does it matter in the presence of God.
They would be pushed out. They will not be allowed to enter the kingdom of God. That kingdom is only For those who have
known. Not for those who simply talk about God. Those who say that we are worshippers of God and we have learnt so much it
will be said, "that is well, then go back to the place where from you have come". Whatever you have known is through your
awareness, and in your awareness you have come to know. The awareness has to be enlightened. It is not what you know but
human awareness which has still to grow. It involves such a lot of journey even after our realisation. It takes no time sometimes
to give realisation to so many people. I know it has happened with so many. But they do not know what they have to achieve. The
ego is such a horrible stuff that people do not want to see what they haven't got with them, what they have to have and what they
deserve. They do not want to see that beauty, that light, that is the Spirit. The reflection of God's love is the most precious thing
that you could think of. I do not know how many times I have delivered lectures in England, apart from the hard work I have put
in. Of course there are results, but progress has been slow. Compared to the fake and artificial people who have made so much
money out of you, Sahaja Yoga is working slowly. I would not have been disappointed if it was at the time of Christ because then
there were very few seekers. Actually even the close disciples that Christ collected were not true seekers. You are seekers of
truth. So many of you have taken to this path just to pursue the truth. But where are we going ? What are we doing about it all ?
What are our ideas about the truth ? Is it that our ideas are but a by-product of our ego ? Is it that we do not want to seek the
truth? I have met all kinds of people in this country including those who occupy important positions at various levels—public and
private life—lords, ladies and a host of others. They ask "Who wants to change" ? I say "Really ?" That is true, because they think
they are the greatest. Born thus, they hope to carry their lordship and possessions with them to heaven ? When they say "who
wants to change" what can be said except that they have reached the dead-end, the full-stop from which no further journey is
possible. Now, this, I must say, can work out only with people who are, seekers who want to know through their awareness what
is the truth. You have to know your Spirit, for, without knowing your Spirit you cannot know the truth and whatever I may talk to
you is a waste of time—a complete waste of time. Because you haven't got the awareness, today, to know the truth I am talking
about. So, I must earnestly ask you to become the Spirit. Why should you hesitate to do what you are told to, so that you will get
your realisation, which means that you have to become the Spirit first. Until and unless this awareness is enlightened you cannot
see. It is like describing the nature of colours to a blind man. You have to open your eyes. But even this simple thing people find
difficult to accept. The reason is that they have become very naive. They don't know what it is, and also they do not have any
inclination to understand. Now you see a tree standing there and you must know, that they are rooted. Somebody has told you
there are roots but you do not believe it because they are not visible. It is as simple as that. But why don't you try to find out if the
trees have roots or not. Supposing somebody says "whatever are outside, that much more are inside." So why not try you to see
into it? This is the simple question we should ask ourselves "why should I put any barrier to seeing", if that is going to give the
best in the world, if it is going to give an inkling of that beautiful thing called the Spirit. Why should we not have it ? You don't
have to pay for it, not even to exert for it. You don't have to do anything. But you must desire. This is the Point I am trying to
make. If you do not desire it from your own heart, God is not going to fall at your feet, imploring "please desire me". And if you
understand that you have to really desire it because it is such a desirous thing that I must tell you that this Kundalini is the pure
desire within you. It is not yet manifested, not yet awakened, in the sense that it has not yet acted. Imagine how important it is.
You should have the desire to be one with the Divine, to be one with your Spirit. The desire has to be strong, if not, then you would
be challenging the Kundalini, that is, you turn anti-Kundalini. Then the Kundalini would not rise. But what has this brain achieved
so far ? Just look at it. You must understand. What have we achieved by this brain ? For example, ask this stupid managing
director "what good has he done for anybody. What does he know about the spiritual life ? What does he understand about
Christ's life?" But if he sends a letter, any newspaper is willing to publish it. Look at the stupidity of the whole thing. They do not
understand that anything that has to go to the masses must be sensible; from a sensible man who is said to be an authority on
spiritual life. What good has this fellow done to anybody. But if I write something or any Sahaja Yogi says that by coming to
Sahaja Yoga he has given up his bad habits or has got cured his cancer or diseases, then nobody wants to listen to you. Nor
does it make any news. On the other hand they think you are mad. But a man like him, if he writes, they publish it. So it shows
clearly we are not only contending with people who are not only mad but also absolutely foolish. Who have no sense at all as to
how they have to live and how they have to conduct themselves. Sometimes you have to take it upon yourself for going into and
discovering the truth. It is you who have to find it out. For example, I say that this is a place where there are lots of diamonds or
this is a cave in which there is a lot of gold. The gold is not going to come to you. You have to go to the cave and get it. It is as
simple. I am not saying you walk towards anything or do anything like that. You have to desire and desire from your heart It is
impossible for me to raise your Kundalini if you do not desire it, because Kundalini itself is the pure desire. What can I do about it
? Can I force it ? You cannot push it out. If you want to have a seed sprouted, you have to plant it in the mother earth, you cannot
take it out in bits and pieces. You have to have a pure desire. And if that desire is not there, then I am breaking my head against
the wall. So it is important to understand that you must have that desire which is the highest. But if you are satisfied with things
which are useless and nonsensical, then what am I to do about it ? There is no psychology which can do that, because you have
to have the desire to be alright. But this is something innate and does not work with people who do not have pure desire. This
has been written down since long; it cannot be changed-, it cannot be forced, explained, discussed or argued about. Nothing can
be done; it has to work out from within. Even if you have worked it out on someone, you may not achieve the results. So, when
the situation is difficult and the children are also so adamant what can Mother do ? Push them in ! / am very much concerned
because this ego which sometimes is selfish and conceited, satisfies itself and is very happy. It w ill not allow you to get to the
point where you really stand, where you have all your powers and where you are the master of being. The identification with the
ego is so much that it is easy to take a bull by the horns but to take an ego-oriented man to the practices of Sahaja Yoga is very
difficult. Today I am rather disgusted but other moods also come—the moods of compassion and tremendous love. I should do
something to bring sense to these people. Something should happen to them otherwise what I see is a complete disaster. It is
going to happen. I do not want to frighten you like Mrs Thatcher does about the Russians. That might be imaginary. But this is
real. I am warning you that the disaster is going to come as destruction itself. But the greatest thing is the failure of the desire
that it could not communicate with you who are chosen specially in order to bring the Kingdom of Heaven. But suddenly you will
find that they all have fallen into a sieve without a way out. The Sahaja Yogis too feel frustrated at times. Whatever it is, as far as
I am concerned they have tremendous desire. But I am so desireless that the desire may not always work out. You see, I am a a
desireless person. So I ask the Sahaja Yogis to desire, so that people will have the great desire to become the Spirit. This is the
greatest thing that we can give to our brothers and sisters, to the people, to the children, to this beautiful world we live in, to the
beautiful light and to the beautiful time they all have to enjoy. / hope those who come for the first time w ill understand my
difficulty and try to see that you should desire only your Self-realisation and nothing else. Just desire that, and forget about
everything else even if you are managing director or a king. Keep all your shoes outside and just desire your Spirit. You see the
difference between me and Christ. He got so fed up that he cried out "let me be crucified". Of course it was in the plan that he
should die on the cross. / have to see that you all get your realisation somehow. It is like a Mother's desire to give a bath to the
baby and get him cleansed. So whichever you like—whether to be desolate or like to receive a rebuke—/ am willing to work it out
But at least ensure that you desire to get your realisation. May God bless you. | null | null | null | The Essence of Sahaja Yoga, from Nirmala Yoga In today's talk I will dwell on the essence of Sahaja Yoga. I am sure that it has

This magnanimity lies within
human being and is awakened by Kundalini. But how can those people have this joy of spontaneity who are living in artificial
atmosphere ? Although Kundalini has been awakened and She has pierced Brahmarandhra yet heart must be pierced. But some
Sahaja Yogis have hearts like stones, absolutely devoid of love; they use sarcastic words while talking to others and want to
show that they are great. On many occasions I have seen, people push others or shout at others even in my presence.
Particularly, when you shout at the children, I feel pain in my heart. At least Sahaja Yogis should have deep love for each other.
When you know that you are the children of the same Mother, why do you look down upon some people ? Are you perfect ? Are
there no faults in you ? We only talk of universal love. If you have no love for each other amongst you, then in which mankind will
it be seen ? All I want to tell you is to clean your minds of venomous thoughts that you have for other Sahaja Yogis.If a Sahaja
Yogi visits your town, invite him, look after him, as if he is your brother. His happiness will purify your homes. I cannot understand
how there can be groups among the Sahaja Yogis, because every moment your condition is improving or going down.Know that
making such groups is disastrous. Look at the good qualities of others and enjoy their love. Don’t worry about their bad qualities.
Leave them for me. You will realise in meditation that this is the only way of opening the fountains of bliss. | null | null | null | Quote 1 from Nirmala Yoga, Issue 13 Magnanimity of mind is very pleasing and it attracts others. This magnanimity lies within
