 Her Holiness Mataji's Advice given at Delhi on 11th March 81 I have told you, the other day that these vibrations. We see the comfort, we see vibrations are nothing but the Brahma- Shakti-the power of Brahma. The power for other people to come in or not, but we of Brahma is the power that creates, that desires, that evolves and it gives the living force also. It is the power which is giving us the living force. Now, it is awareness which means awareness that is not easy to understand what is a dead force working upon living things. As in the, say, and what is a living force. Living force is cell at the tip of a the root of a tree is a very simple to understand. An animal, say a little worm, is a living force. It can turn itself Itis quided by the living force itself. So, it the way it likes. It can save itself from dán- knows how to move with the living force, ger. It may be a small little thing. but to live with it and how to understand the plan because it is living it can save itself. But of the living force to get along with it and something which is dead cannot move by how to merge with it. ather things. We might even see if it is good do not see the house from vibrations point of view. For anything that we do, we have, now, to think in terms of vibratory living thing. Of course, it does not think, itself. So, the "Self" part does not remain in it, as far as it is concerned. But, we human beings have got the free- dom to decide. Now, once you are realised, Now, being a living force we should try to find out, "Are we going to be the living you have got that living force within you. force or the dead one". Now, when we live This is the living force you feel. So, vou in the world, we start thinking about our comforts; where we have to live, what we keep your body, mind, ego, superego and have to do. When we think of all these everything in things, you see, we are thinking of the dead. understanding the planning of the living But when we think of having a place or a house or an Ashram from the angle that you will be doing some living work, then you are giving life to that place That atmosphere should be created from all that is dead-to create the living force. have to know how to use this living force to the enlighterned state, by force. It gives you all the ideas regarding most of the problems. For example, here in this country and specially in Delhi, I find that you catch on the left Nabhi, also right Swadhi- shthana and then on the Heart and also on your Agnya. These are the Chakras which deal with our being. So, let us try from the Now, this is very very subtle thing, which very few people understand, for example, somebody brings me a pholograph of Shri left side. What happens ? On the let side Ganesh and says, "Should I worship this the problem slarts from left swadhishthna, Shri Ganesh's photograph or not". First of because that is the first Chakra that starts all we should see if vibrations are coming emitting the negativity within us. Now, left from it or not Supposing you take a house Swadhishthana is actually under control You must see that the house is giving good only of Shri Ganesh because Shri Ganesh Nirmala Yoga

For example, Is one who gives the balance, the "Vivek" the today, time here is something, but in England understanding to you by which you know it is different. If you say it is 4-0 clock in how far to go with things. Now, when left India, it is not the same in England. So, the Swathishthana catches, you start going to other people who promise you such things, arrive what time you go. how many times ike "I will give you this and that, this will you do it. is not important. happen, that will happen to you". But this left sided thing can also come from your own desire for wrong things. For example, time limit or space limit, you cannot count we might be desiring something very wrong: it, the way it moves, the way it works out. we might be thinking that let us have this Once we understand that it is a living force kind of a dead thing or that kind of dead which is spontaneous, which is not bother- thing or some sort of a special thing. Sup- ed about our dead ideas, we come out of pose, somebody wants a refrigerator and keeps on thinking of it. He thinks that he became ameoba, then we gradLually became must have a fridge. He must go to the human beings. So, our: attention is all the fridge, because he wants a fridge: and he time towards the dead. What should we get, must get it. Why he wants a fridge ? what should we have, what are the needs ? Because he thinks it will give him more comfort. But, when he brings the fridge, he knows that it is not so. So, the best way to look at all dead things is not to go too far with them. If you have, well and good. if you do not have, well and good. You can live with minimum of minimum or you can live with maximum of maximum of these. is unhappy, you do not get the vibrations. But when we start expanding our dead pos- Such a common thing !

We do not see to the needs of the Spirit. By seeing to the needs of the spirit, overcome the left side. You you can start looking after your spirit from which you know that you get your vibrations. If your Spirit is happy, you get your vibrations, if it disease or a problem on left hand side, to give it a balance, you put your attention to the future. But then people get stuck up on the future, ifI say you look to the future. Nabhi, and at left As dead is dead and is 'Mithya' firei (illu- sessions, it is very much bad.

Then you start saying, "| am: very miserable, I am very guilty" etc., you you go in the past and you start saying, "Oh just start cursing yourself. This is another nonsense. That is how once you start doing that, then what: happens is that you again catching". As you know, those who catch become dead. Because living force will never condemn. No, it will Never. It goes ning. always grudging type because of poor on progressing itself. It sees, which side to thingas, they suffer. Now, to match with that move, this side or that side. It is not going to condemn itself, It is not going to aggress can be known to you. But, when you start catching on the left, God ? I am so useless, I am good for nothing. I am so useless, that I am still on the left hand side, are always complai- is the other side. So, if I tell you that you go to the other side also, it is a very dangerous anything. It has the wisdom to be in the Centre. That is how people should over- come their left side, by putting their atten- tion away from the dead things. You should watch from the Centre, when you are on the leftside. What you want to see, you don't see. But then ultimately to es.cape all this, what you do is to start blaming yourself all the time and feeling miserable. Now, this is the way you start ending up with your left side into a very miserable state, that is the cul- mination of all these attachments to the left game. For example, we have so many condi- tionings in our lives. You see, first of all our desire. Our desire is to become excellent Sahaja Yogis, to become Master Gurus and something great and this and that. That there should be many disciples that we should have who should touch our feet and we should be called Great Gurus etc. So, in Sahaja Yoga some things are pro- hibited That nobody should touch anybody's feet and no Sahaja Yogi should allow anyone to side. So, ultimately you start thinking that you are good for nothing, you are useless, you should have done this, you should have touch his or her feet. This is one of the great Bandhans for all Sahaja Yogis. No one should touch other's Feet and nobody should ask to touch his or her feet, whatever done that. may Now, at this time to overcome it, you be your quality. Those who will touch will have to count your blessings. Count your lose vibrations, and those who will get salu- Blessings one by one You have got your tations will also calch on the heart. So, such Realisation. During thousands of years how conditions, which we have about Sahaja many people got realisation ? You have got Yoga also, should be removed. your vibrations.

 So, one must understand that in Sahaja slightest like this will go down faster. This is the left side conditioning, where people Yoga, you are developing that sharp edge, falter very much. So, such desires must ba that central point from which you do not deviate to the right or to the left. This is something so subtle that you are left sided, you are not going to remain left sided. You can become right-sided tomorrow. Exactly, given up in Sahaja Yoga. You must have very wider desires in Sahaja Yoga that all of us must get Realisa- tian-say as many as possible. We shoula try to save as many people as possible. tomorrow you can come with a right-sided We should try to improve ourselves as far problem. So, you must learn that Balancing, we can, and we are nothing yet we can lust like you start learning a bicycle. You improve and have so many blessings. might fall on this side or that side. Now, the thoughts can come from the left side also. Like, if you have some Bhoots in your head, they can give you the thought when you cycle down, that's the point when that, "Oh, you are useless or good for nothing." Now, raise your right side and put down the left. with your left hand. Now why do we do this ? Because from your right side, you get the Grace and put down the left side. Such people who suffer from the left side should try this. One more thing, is, that when these ideas come to you or such thoughts: come to you, that you are good for nothing etc., it is better to beat yourself with shoes. Go and sing the praise yourself, just to see and guide yourself. of the Lord and say that I am so happy. I have got everything around me. Now, when de you learn cycling? If you ask me, I will say, "When you learn." I mean you learn. So, in Sahaja Yoga, to balance it, you have to watch yourself carefully. Now, where is it going ? To the left side, then come to the right side. If going to the right side, come to the left side, Now, come to the Centre, you just separate yourself, you detach yourself all the time. Not to criticize yourself nor to aggress anyone or to criti- cize others. But use this point just to see Guidance is very different from getting lost. Now that is what it is. Supposing the dead thing is there. Say this is a dead thing. Now, the second thing is about the right When I throw it, it exactly will fall there. side. On the right side, mostly you catch Living thing, if I throw it will not fall there on the Swadhishthan. That is because you exactiy. So, the living force knows how to think. This is another kind of thinking that guide itself. In the same way you will learn gives you catch at right Swadhishthan. Thinking, whether it comes from right or the have mastered Sahaja Yoga. left will first give problem to your liver. The worst comes when both the sides are invol- ved. There are some Bhoots which give you ideas that you are good for nothing etc. while the other thing is when you start think- to guide yourself. If you have learnt it, you No use condemning yourself, in any way or thinking that you are great or small. But watch now, where the horse is going.

They only flow if we give them to others, because the sources wants others in collectivity, it wants theWhole. In Sahaja Yoga, one cannot achieve much on one's own.

 On 26th December 1980, Bombay Sahajayogis alongwith their foreign counterparts offered very warm tributes to Mr. C.P.

Srivastava, on this occasion Dear Members of the UnivVersal Sahajyoga family, I am very greatly honoured and very over- whelmingly touched by the most generous observations which have been made about unhappiness or a little frustration and people me and about my work.... to deserve the love and affection that you have chosen to shower upon me. You have mentioned that I have been sacrificing In order thaf my wife who is Mataji to you would be able to devote her time for Sahaj- there must be some answer to that, because voga.

We also agreed that once the daughters got married, SHE would be free to devote her time as bers of one great universal family. Afterall, if we just remember, that the whole of uni- verse that we know of there is only ane planet on which there is life, such as we have and that, we are the most fortunate persons to be those created by the Almighty to be the best of creations, that itself is a While our children were growing up-SHE very great privilege and the least that we gave all her time and devotion to them to should somehow do is to live together much as possible to the service of humanity. bring them up and SHE gave me tremendous brothers and sisters genuinely, not support.

And why am I proud of parts of the world, thus bringing prosperity HER ? I am proud because, at a time when to other parts. But that is notenough.

It is very difficult for me to to be a part of this great endeavour, andI am forget that I am HER husband, so please do proud of HER and the work SHE is doing. forgive the expression that I have used but, it was in my capacity as a consort and I I might tell you something more. Very recently I had a unique experience. SHE is a very busy person and if I may out being immodest, I am also very busy uplifting men & women everywhere through- with my work, but one evening SHE invited me very kindly to a function like this in worthy of the Almighty God who has created London. There I saw another family a Sahajyoga family, Sahajyogis and Yoginis. What a wonderful expression they had, what for the kind words about my re-election. a feeling of internal peace and calm they had, what feelings of togetherness they had. That gave me a very deep impression, a feeling only for one reason, viz that you would that, that family had been transformed from desperate individuals coming from different the world. On very few issues the Govts. parts of the country into a family mended of the World agree. Now, if they agreed together, knitted together with one purpose, viz., realising that we are members of one Union. United States. United Kingdom, or want vou to know that the work she is doing S is to my way of thinking very very important may say số with- for humanity. In fact, I feel that if is only by out the world, that we can really become us all. Now, in IMCO, the Organisation that | am privileged to serve, I am very grateful It was most gratifying. Perhaps you know that this was unanimous. Imention this hear that there are many issues that divide upon re-election, whether it was Soviet family. They all wanted to assist each other to help each other to grow together and to develop spiritually. Now, this is a marvell- ous task. I think the world needs this more Developing Countries or China or Pakistan, well, they agreed to uphold a certain princi- ple and in some way perhaps the message of Sahaja Yoga was being given to them thr- ough me coming from HER. And the mess- age that I always give to the member coun- tries of the Organisation is: "We are not divided into groups. 1 do not believe in groupism. I do not believe in confrontation, I do not believe that by fighting, the world I do not believe that the developing world can develop by fighting I believe, and I than anything else. This country needs this much more than anything else. It is the transformation, it is the uplifting of the indi- vidual from within, which is most important. If that uplifting does not come, you will have conflicts, you will not have the kind of homo- geniety or goodwill, which is so essential for all of us to be able to live together in peace. So, SHE is giving you spiritual the developed world. can get along. 16 Nirmala Yoga

For believe very sincerely & genuinely, that all of us can get together only by way of toget- herness, by co-operation and this is the your success, for your happiness and your message that I give continuously." Now this wellbeing I will pray and with these few is only one aspect of Sahaj Yoga, only an aspect, but this is the message that I give to the organisation that I am privileged referred me today and I may also thank to serve and I am most gratified & delighted HER for all that SHE is doing for me by words I want to thank you once again for the veryvery kind words in which all speakers supporting me really, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. that the governments as they are represen- ted in this Maritime Organisation of the United Nations System, accept that philo- sophy and they accept that by working together the people of the world engaged in Maritime activity can make progress, which would be satisfactory from the point of view of everybody and if they re-elected me unani- mously, honour me greatly and my country- but to my way of thinking they honoured the principle which is to guide the whole of United Nations system. So, in some way there has been action and interaction between Sahaja Visit Yoga on one side and United Nations activity on the other. I have only a small responsibility in the United Nations system but to the extent that 1 can, it is my duty and it has been my endeavour always to serve the World Community in a far more elevated sphere- the spiritual sphere. Now to friends who have come from abroad, as an Indian I would like to extend a very hearty and a very warm welcome. I feel very greaty honoured & pri- vileged that you should be here at this time that you should spend your new Year Day in our country and I want to take this oppor- tunity to wish you the very very best for 1981 and the best that I can do is to say let Sahaja Yoga which is universal, grow and (Laughter & claps) Phone: 61 10 45 2: PARKASH STUDIO For HIGH CLASS PORTRAITS, GROUP PHOTOS CHILDREN PHOTOGRAPHY, DEVELOPING, PRINTING & ENLARGING WOODEN PICTURE FRAMING AND Movie & Flash Photography For PARTIES & MEETINGS grow & develop and really lift up the word to a new level of awareness, new level of human relationship based on love, affection, & realisation that human beings are born for great purposes, they are not born merely PHOTOSTAT OF DOCUMENTS 17, MAIN MARKET, LODI ROAD, NEW DELHI Nirmala Yoga 17

 OM SHRI MATAJI PRASANNA You asked me if I could write about of Sahaja Yoga is the recognition of one's spiritual benelits of Sahaja Yoga. When one sits down to do it, one feels the diffi- culty as being that even contemplating that phrase one goes thoughtless. The benefits are so many and various because as the chakras get enlightened so all the divine qualities start asserting in one's life in all Spirit divine in human form. That is the sin purity and beauty. Easy ito write about which Christ said will not be foregiven at the material benefits of better job, health impro- vements, passing exams with flying colours. But all that is a by product of the enlighten- ment by Mother's grace and one's spiritual Toga is to realise that the spiritual path of Instrumentation. It would be an imperti- nence to write about benefits to oneself of every soul must seek alone and individually. a spiritual nature. Because who benefits from Sahaja Yoga in the spiritual sense is actually God Almighty Himself. It his His joy But when ego drops away so does the myth in His creation that makes our Sahaja Yoga of loneliness. One finds all the brothers and such a joyous experience. It is his inno- cence that protects US and cures our illness. It is His wealth that showers on us material rewards. It is His fearless nature that kills all the negativity in our hearts and opens us to His joy and love for one another. The benefit is not to our self as we used to identify it but to our pure self which is a universal being. The benefit of Sahaja Yoga is that one becomes a Sahaja Yogi-one becomes identified with that and not with self in others and above all in Mataji Nir- ma'a Devi, the Adi Shakti incarnated in person on this earth for our salvation. Blake said that God does not hate sin but He hates unbelief. In this day and age that unbelief is not to recognize Mataji as the last judgement.

JAI MATAJI
I'm giving this experience of my hip bone fracture which took place on 30th
November 1980. I was told by my doctor that I would not be able to walk without a
stick for six months, but on the fifth day of my operation Our Dear Respected Mataji
came to see me in the hospítal and with H.H. Matajl's grace and vibrations I felt so
much energy and such strong vibrations that I started walking without a stick within
fifteen days. At this experience my doctor also was so surprised that he became very
keen to meet Our Respected Mataji and he came and met Mataji and got realised by her.
I only pray that more people will come to our Sahaja Yoga and take blessings of Our
Respected Mataji who's a Real Goddess Incarnation and we are really one of the fortu-
nates to have this Great Mother who is full of Great [Love and Blessings for those who

 OM SHRI MATAJI PRASANNA
You asked me if I could write about of Sahaja Yoga is the recognition of one's
spiritual benelits of Sahaja Yoga. When
one sits down to do it, one feels the diffi-
culty as being that even contemplating that
phrase one goes thoughtless. The benefits
are so many and various because as the
chakras get enlightened so all the divine
qualities start asserting in one's life in all Spirit divine in human form. That is the sin
purity and beauty. Easy ito write about which Christ said will not be foregiven at the
material benefits of better job, health impro-
vements, passing exams with flying colours.

such a joyous experience. It is his inno-
cence that protects US and cures our
illness. It is His wealth that showers on us
material rewards. It is His fearless nature
that kills all the negativity in our hearts and
opens us to His joy and love for one another.
The benefit is not to our self as we used
to identify it but to our pure self which is a
universal being. The benefit of Sahaja Yoga
is that one becomes a Sahaja Yogi-one
becomes identified with that and not with
self in others and above all in Mataji Nir-

NIRMALA D EVI MA
I was told there is a Devi calfed Nirmala,
Go to Her if you need enlightenment:
When I approached Her, She said:
Son, the light that you seek is hidden-
You must sit and meditate, meditate, meditate.
Concentrate on your Chakras;
The fruit of concentration is meditation,
Since you are your own redeemer.
The main Chakra is Muladhara,
Which is the seat of lord Ganesha,
Awaken this Serpent which slumbers-
Coiled around three and half times
Underneath your Pelvic Plexus,
And place each step in the Spiritual Path.
Next is Sri Brahmadeva and Saraswati,
Which is at the seat of Swadisthana,
Will start moving upwards and onwards.
Then go to Manipur where Lord Vishnu and Laxmi Devi reside;
The seat of Sri Shiva and Parvati is your Anahata;
Vishuddhi is the sixteen-petalled Lotus
Where you are sure to find Lord Krishna and Radha.
My child, if you wish to travel to the fourth dimension,
You must concentrate at your Agnya Chakra,
Where you will meet Jesus Christ and Mother Mary
To guide you to the realms of the Eternal.
The abode of your Mataji where Eternal Power resides,
Is at your Sahasrara;
Which is known as the thousand-petalled Lotus.
Thus my son, you are sure to obtain
Existence, Knowledge, Bliss Absolute,
And the Superconscious state of peace and joy,
And the fruit of Meditation is Realization.
