Nirmala Yoga 5F Editorial Prayers have a great importance in human life. What is praying? It is an expression to one's desire and requesting and soliciting its fulfilment, to a power that is far superior and that, one knows, would bestow what is desired. Praying suggests accepting one's inability to accomplish the objective only through one's own efforts. It is surrendering to the will of the power, to either grant or reject the request, although response in the positive is generally assumed. Right-sided persons are over-confident of their capabilities, and have no faith in praying whereas, left sided would only desire and pray, without making any efforts. However, right- sided people, on failing to achieve what they desire, turn to praying. As has been seen on many occasions, after doctors express helplessness people seek Sahaja cures, which involves, praying for the self-realization and recitation of mantras besides other treatment. Althaugh praying would appear to be a left-side activity, its origin would be from right side at personal level, as their orientation is to achieve limited personal ambition. In such cases, the prayers could possibly be the result of egotism and would come from ego not from heart. Even pujas are performed, by some people desiring a materialistic reward, which is again a right-side activity. Puja-mantras are the prayers invoking the deities to be present for the puja and accept offerings. However, praying would help balancing over-active right side provided the recitation of prayers is done from heart and with complete surrender. It is not just muttering of words that makes a prayer, but sincerity of heart that is associated with it. Also, it is important to dis- criminate so as to avoid reciting the prayers that have left-side bias. It is essential to recite the compositions of realized souls. It is also equally important that one should be clear on all chakras, at least on vishuddhi, so that mantras and prayers invoke good vibrations and become effective. Before beginning the recitation, one should improve vishuddhi by saying "Om Twameva Sakshat Sarva Mantra Siddhi Sakshat Shri Adi Shakti Shri Mataji Shri Nirmala Devyai Namo Namaha". Sanskrit synonym for the word prayer, is 'prärthana'. i.e. 'pra l arthana'. Arthanā is reques- ting or soliciting. Shri Mataji has advised us that words having prefix 'Pra' suggests enlighten- ment. Hence 'prärthana is an enlightened prayer, is a prayer made by a person who has got his Nirmala Yoga enlightenment. Enlightenment comes from the Spirit. Hence such prayers are the expressions of desires of the Spirit. They have the power to turn one's attention towards Atma, and kindle the spark of desire in every one's mind, to seek the ultimate. They inspire those, in whose hearts the spark has grown into a flame, to go deeper and closer to the Spirit, e.g. Om Brahma Medhase/Madhu Medhase/Brahmaiva madhu medhase (please give me Brähma, please give me honey i.e. sweet. Brahma alone is sweet.) Many vedic mantras are prayers to different deities requesting help for seeking the ultimate. Great sages of ancient yore have prayed even to the Sun, Moon, Wind-God (Vayu) and Varuna (rain God) and also to water to give them strength so that they could attain the realization of Atman. It is interesting to see the following prayer. MEL आपो हिण्छा मरयोभवस् ता न ऊर्जे दधातन महे रणाय चृक्षसे ।। ॐ Om äpo hishthā mayo-bhuvastāna ūrje dadhātana. Mahe-ranilya chakshase. O water as you are pleasing, give us food and protect us for attaining Self-realization which is extremely blissful. By the grace of Shri Mataji, Sahaja yogis have got their enlightenment. Hence pravers composed by them, or their recitation of the prayers composed by other great saints & prophets would be prärthana' in real sense. All the deities are awake within the Supreme Goddess and respond quickly when invoked in Her name. Our brothers would certainly allow us to seek their indulgence, and help us. Humbly approach Shri Ganesha at Mooladhar and pray for his blessings and to give us his innocence & purity so that we become loving children of our Mother keeping absolute faith in Her, and request him to join us to pray to Her to keep Her form in good health for years & years. With Shri Ganesha's permission respectfully pray to mother Kundalini to clean our subtle being and develop the flickering flame of our Spirit into a big torch, that would be one with Supreme Spirit. Then pray with her to Sakshat Shri Mahākundalini to be ever present amidst us in Her present form and give realization to all the seekers. Bow to Shri Brahmadeva, the God of creation, whose four faces are said to be four Vedas and his shakti, Shri Saraswati, Goddess of knowledge and art. Pray to him, in the name of Shri Mataji, that we enjoy the beauty of his creations rather than thinking and planning about ours. Surely, Shri Brahmadeva and Shri Saraswati would pray with us to Cosmic Mother Jagadamba, the creatrix of everything from Brahmadeva down to an insect, to protect and guide all the seekers, in Her present form, for ever and ever. Thereafter, with complete reverence approach the sustainer of creation, the protector of Dharma, and his power Shri Lakshmi. May his qualities be awakened in us, so that we work tirelessly for the divine cause of propagating Sahaja Yoga. May he allow us to pray along with them, to Adi-shakti, that all satanic & adharamic forces be destroyed. Obeisance to Primordial Master, at Bhavasagar, who came many times in the world, by the instructions of Adi-shakti, to help man-kind evolve itself. Seek his forgiveness for the ill- treatment meted out to his incarnations. Our sincere desire is to be the instruments in the Nirmala Yoga myriad hands of Param Parameshwari. May the qualities of Primodial Master be inculcated by us. Surrender before the Father of the Universe. Existence of all existences. Again and again pray for being pardoned as we are engrossed in the illusion, ignoring the reality. May our attention ever rest at the feet of our Cosmic Parents who are one as words and their meaning and are manifesting themselves as our Beloved Mother. May our endeavour be to always please Her. Salutations to Shri Krishna and Shri Radha who showed the divine play as a child and also showed true Virata cosmic form having myriads of hands, faces and legs, encompassing within his being every living and non living thing in the universe. He played and danced with every milk-man and milk-maid and awakened their kundalinis and at the same time transcended above them, thus proving that Supreme Spirit is all-pervading and foundational to al existence and yet uninvolved and unaffected by it. May Shri Radha &Shri Krishna, one as Sun-rays and sun-light, within our Mother. lead us to the perfect witness state, May the Mother of entire creation be amongst us in good health for years & years. Let us approach Shri Jesus and Shri Mary after repeating Lord's prayer. Remember, "forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us". We deserve God's forgiveness only after we forgive others. May he help us grow in our awareness beyond our narrow individuality. May he confer upon us his dedication and love for our Mother. Sahasrara ! Integrated and subtle universe ! The kingdom of God placed in every human being. Our Beloved Mother is the Empress, Raja-rājeshwari of the kingdom of God, Rājya-da- yini, the conferer of the kingdom of God. She has granted liberally all boons and all that is auspicious to Her children. Let us not forget that She is Abhyäsāti-shaya-Jnäta. (aaa , known through tremendously long practice). It is only through the intense meditation that we can know Her. Let every Sahaja yogi make a vow to accept Her every spoken word and not to be casual in Her presence; to devote whole heartedly to the cause of Sahaja Yoga. May the kingdom of God be soon established in the universe, Om Twameva Sakshat Sarva Mantra Siddhi Sakshat Shri Adi-Shakti Shri Matajl Shri Nirmala Devyal Namo Namah 6. Nirmala Yoga GENEVA Aug. 28, 1983 Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala Devi Shri Krishna Puja Today we are celebrating here in this holy land the birthday of Shri Krishna. Shri Kri- shna is the ultimate of the fatherhood, that I He reached the optimum that one has to described you before, who came on this reach as a yogi. As if He is the ideal you Earth and illustrated the ultimate of that. have to reach. So on this Earth, the highest fatherhood is of a royal family but He lived in the jungles Shri Krishna's awareness. But in the King- in the forest, with the cows, with ordinary dom of God, we can say in Heavens, or even people. He used to sleep on the ordinary above everything else, resides Sadashiva who places like sometimes on the stones, on the does not take incarnations. He is one of grass, when He would go with His cows for the aspects, Shri Krishna is one of the aspects their feeding. He was very aware, very very of Sadashiva which is the Father. And the aware, absolutely aware of His powers, with- Adi Shakti or the Holy Ghost is the other aspect of Sadashiva which is His power. So "Samhära shakti“ by which He could destroy when Shri Krishna incarnated on this Earth, all those people who tried to harm the divine an aspect of this Adi Shakti came on this manifestation. Earth as Rädha. She is the same who came as the Mother of Christ, and She gave the name of Christ as the surname of Shri Krishna, as if it is Krishna's name, from Krishna. He's called as "Krisht" in Indian languages, Krisht. And I have told you before why he was called as Yeshu or Jesu. So today we are Yogeshwara means the Lord of the Yoga, or the Power of Yoga. He is called because Now as a yogi, He was born out any ego. He had a special power called This "Samhãra shakti" is experssed as the Chakra (Sudarshan) in His hand. And another is hand. These two the "Gada" (Mace) in His powers were within Him, and He acted according to the power of Radha, because She is the one to the two aspects of Shri who sustained the power of Shri Krishna. Krishna, which were the manifestation of His The proof of that is this that when He was in Gokul with Radha He did all His 'samhara' work. And afterwards He just became a chariot-driver for Arjuna. So for His disciple going to see divine birth. In Rama's life they showed a man; man, a Purushottama, the best of the father in wordly affairs. y Arjuna, He became even a chariot-driver. showed Him the highest fatherhood as in Yogeshwara or in divine work. So the first aspect of Shri Krishna we have to understand He knew who was a devil and who was not, is the Yogeshwara and the second aspect of who is good who is bad, who is possessed And in Shri Krishna's life they The another great quality of Yogeshwara was complete discretion power built-in. So of him as the Virata. who is not possessed, who is innocent who Nirmala Yoga is not. This was built-in within Him, this receded by the Agnya chakra but have to be power of coinplete discrimination. sucked into the Vishuddhi, The greatest quality of Yogeshwara is that He is not at all involved into it, detached, And He had a capacity more expressing His witnesshood, as a 'Sākshi'. He had the the capacity, I mean He was a Sakshi Himself absolutely. If He eats His food, He does not I should say this way is easier to understand. He was a Sākshi, He had the capacity of He sees, He does not see. If He hears, He does witnessing the whole world as a play. At not hear. It has no effect on Him, no retention the time of Rama, Rama was one who got involved into his problems, to show as if he is complete: sixteen petals is complete moon, is a full human being so that human beings sixteenth day of the moon is the Purnima. should not say that he was God so how could we accept God because 'he was God after all' ? Now this capacity in Him to witness confidence should not be confused with ego. has to be seen in every yogi. The element He controls is ether. We call it "Akāsha" complete dharma,lit is complete love, complete in Sanskrit. This ether now as you know, we are using for our television, for our radio, it should be. for every sort of a collective work. So we have to be in charge of the ether element as yogis. And that is the subtlest of all, what He was meaning is that all other things in the sense that you permeate everything about which you are worried "You give up with that, and is above all Like plastic also permeates into everything into matter, into everything up to the air. But it cannot enter into ether. So the negativity connot enter into ether. So when you enter into your ethereal eat it. If He speaks, He does not speak. If on Him, no action on Him. Whatever He is, He That is how one has to be, complete in one- self, complete confidence in oneself. But But confidence is complete wisdom, it's beauty, and is complete God. That's what Now when He said that "'you give up all your dharmas and surrender to Me" in Gita, and become one with me, so I look after you". Give up the responsibility to Shri Krishna, so the complete integrated Divinity will start expressing through you. Means if you say that you have to be responsible, then He says alright, go ahead, try! But if you say that thoughtless awareness. So to achieve your "You are responsible, I'm just an institution zone, you actually enter into the area which is ethereal state, you have to expand your or an instrument in Your hand", then you start thoughtless awareness. And the sustenance manifesting it well. And that is how your of that is done by Christ, by the Spirit. So you can realize now as a yogi, your state of mind should be ethereal. Vishuddhi chakra gets opened up. This is some part of the Yogeshwara I have spoken to you. But as He is the brain within us, He becomes the brain within us. We And what should be the state of your super-ego ? This is the ego part of it, that have to know all the qualities of a divine you should be in ethereal state. And as a super-ego you should see it as a play, you should see the play of the negativity. Nega- tivity will run away, but don't get involved into it, don't play into their hands. Then the negativity will separate from you. brain are within. So whatever we do with our brain like intrigue, the deception, all Nega- which are bad things by your brain as they call it, are done by Him for the divine purpose without getting any blemish upon himself. And the other side of it, so called positive, So the ego and the super-ego both rise like politics like diplomacy, or like leadership. all that is His own doing, like even the think- he from theVishuddhi chakra. They can be Nirmala Yoga ing of the future and all that, He does plann- if you can do that, then there is no problem as ing, thinking, all those things, administration. As a play. everything is done as a play, you are more powerful and more tricky. because He's the Master, as we call, a "sutra dhära", the one who does the prologue in a drama, the one who plays with the strings with the pantomimes. far as their effect on us is concerned, because Because the Virata Shakti has now taken that form, like the tree when it grows, it grows upward. But when it is leaden with fruit, it comes down. First it is attractive by its flowers, by its timber, by the other parts Now the other thing that we have to understand Shri Krishna at this stage of of its body. And people try to destroy it for Sahaja Yoga, that it is the Virāta Shakti that is manifesting at this time and not the Shri Krishna Shakti which was at His time. And humility, is very valuable the power that is working here is no more that of Radha or of Mary, but of Viratangana. Because you are That's why the knowledge of sahaja-yogis so valuable that those people who wanted is much wider than the knowledge of all the saints of ages. But it is not deeper than them. If you can deepen your knowledge, gain something out of these fruits. So today this wider knowledge will have proper roots within you. So the brain are the roots, here are the roots of the whole tree of life. Actually yogi with them it is so precious, Say one Kundalini comes up and waters the brain first. ordinary man gets his Realization, then he so that the whole tree of life is drenched in the Divine Bliss and Divine Knowledge. it. But when the fruit appear, they want to preserve it, and the tree bends down, with So you are the fruits. That Viratangana Shakti. you are the fruits. to ruin or to destroy the Divine power from this Earth will start thinking that they have to the Virata Shakti has given you a great value, because people see that by having one sahaja- develops his value. In that his own value he can be respected, loved, and he can be given the highest if he's a proper sahaja-yogi. So this Virata Shakti that we have to work out, gives us the sense of collective consciousness first. First we understand it through our brain power. brain power is to be guided by the Heart, is to result of that, all these different churches, be watered; but in sanskrit is a very beautiful word "sinchan", like dewdrops, spray, with the Love of God. So the integration of this they will see their benefit in it. But you have brain has to take with Heart and with your liver, Then only the Virata-Shakti takes another form. The weapons of killing be- come the weapons of forgiveness. Every sort of destructive power is used for the construc- tion. As if it is tricked. So you should understand today that Virata Shakti is "we are going to worship that Virata Shakti which has given fruits", As a But the whole fanaticism, and atheism and communism and all that-ism, all these will neutralize because to become that. That is the biggest thing one has to know is to bend down towards the Mother Earth. To be humble. Absolutely the humility inside is really going to give you the complete value of sahaja-yoga fruits. Those sahaja-yogis who boast about themselves are like the fruit which are getting ruined only on the tree. The only fruits that bend down are accepted as good and matured fruits, and not those who assert that they are the highest. But some of the negative people should not by any chance take advantage of Like now I told them a trick, how to trick these gurus. The power that they have can be tricked against them, as is said that their teeth must be put into their necks, into their throats. Instead of taking out their teeth better put them back into their throats. And Nirmala Yoga yourself. And leaving everything to the power of gravity of your Mother to do every work for you. And leaving all your small little worries behind, you have to rise above these distracting powers and achieve the completion of this Virata-Shakti which ulti- mately becomes a "Madhura Shakti". "Ma- dhura"; there is no word in English language, but it means a "sweet power". Like the fruit becomes sweet. That's how you all have to become very sweet. Krishna tried to make sunshine or getting to better water supply or everything very sweet in the sense it was all this and say that they are good because they are bending down. It's not the logic. Some of them pose they are humble; even a rotten fruit bends down. But the mature fruit shows its humility by its weight. That is the guru- tattwa weight. So from the Viratangana power you get the power of maturity up to the fruit and then we become blessed by guru principle. Those who are still involved in getting to better all these things, are not yet matured, because a Madhura Shakti that was acting, all His play. the fruit doesn't need anything anymore. It all His dancing, all His stories if you read, is doesn't need anything from the Mother Earth, nothing but Madhura Shakti, towards Gopas nor from the elements. But it surrenders, r and Gopis, towards other sahaja-yogis. bends, it bows to the Mother Earth. So you have to keep your Mother pleased So the sahaja-yogi who goes on asking by pleasing other Sahaja-yogis, and not other questions to Mother, bringing personal prob- people. They are not important. So today lems, stupid ideas, negativity, all those people are still not yet the fruits. we are going to shorten the Puja, and that's why it took so much time upstairs, to shorten But the matured people are those who it ! So the time lost is time gained for ever surrender, who bow to the Mother Earth. So the capacity to bow is the best judgement of and ever. May God bless you. Bolo Shri Radha Krishna sakshat Shri Virata sakahat Shri Yogeshwar sakshat Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi ki Jai Nirmala Yoga 10 Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi TALK BEFORE PUJA Vienna, Sept. 4, 1983 Vishuddhi Chakra Before going to America, I wanted to could be absolutely stiff. Supposing you have speak more about the Vishuddhi chakra and about Shri Krishna's aspect within us. first Puja in Geneva, I spoke quite a lot about it, but there is no end to it, of course, because it is the centre of Virata. But one has to realize that the message of Shri Krishna was to surrender. Now the surrendering that we think in the gross way is like an enemy weapons, good weapons, effective good surrenders to another enemy. S a very strong weapon but you can't lift it, so what is the use of having a weapon like that? See, this Mr. Ego tries to make the weapon heavy and stiff like jammed machine-guns. Now that is what He has said that "surrender In the your ego to Me", so that when you say a mantra or utter words, they are effective as word "surrender" is spoken, we build up our barriers by thinking that we have to surrender something to the other part. But when Snri will understand how to address Me and to Krishna was talking about surrender, He was judge yourself. For example shaking your saying that "surrender your enemies to me so that I will get rid of them". Now the worst enemy that we have is our have a habit "yes" if it is said, they'll go on ego. And with ego starts all kinds of other like this for ten times. There is no need. problems, because it is the biggest barrier for Actually, you should move only once, with our growth. And the ego starts as you know humility, the head "yes Mother" is all right. from the Vishuddhi chakra, and can be sucked You must move your neck with respect and into Vishuddhi chakra. Now when we talk, let us see how I see your ego expre Issed in your talk, so that you necks too much is a sign of a Mr. Ego shaking head for nothing at all. Like many people with understanding that Shri Krishna is sitting Now let us see how is Vishuddhi chakra there. With dignity. But we forget it all the made. All the vowels that we use come from Vishudhi chakra. And like in Deva- nagri language it is a...ang-äha. So as you know you cannot compile a word without a vowel, it is so important. A consonant is weak, without any strength, without the talk to Me, like saying "no Mother". It is vowel. So the strength of a person comes very common, if I say anything, the first through the Vishuddhi chakra in his speach. reaction of people could be "no Mother". But it can be absolutely stiff also, the strength After all you see there is a course going on, time and we start using it to assert ourselves when we talk to someone. And we shake it too much or we push it in such a way that another person is sort-of dominated by it. Now there is another method when you * (a), आ (a), इ (i) ई (ee), उ (u), ऊ ( 60 ), ए (e), ऐ (ai), ओो (o), ओ (ow), अं (ang), जः (aha) 11 Nirmala Yoga even when I'm speaking it is a mantra, when drop has now become an ocean. And so your I'm not speaking, is a mantra flowing. And sound has got the power of the ocean. suddenly you come out with your "no Mother", you create a ripple back in the der, is the pride, or vanity. Now the vanity whole thing. can be of many types which are artificial things listen to Me what I'm saying, the saying itself absolutely. Before God, what is your property? Now the second thing you have to surren- Now at that time, if you just don't have to do What is your money? What is your position? will work it out. you anything. What is your family ? What is your education? Now another way is the style in which You see, everything has no value in the pre- you talk to Me, also I can see the right sence of God. The possessions that one value Vishuddhi acting. It is when we talk normally so much have no value. So one has to realize to each other, if we have to say "yes", we'll that if we are the possessions of God, we say "m-m". That is very common here "a-a". should be proud of one thing only. that His this style, they say "hum-um" and then on vibrations flow through us. That is: He is top of that to say "mm-mm" as if you see it proud of us. clearly. It is : you are not receiving anything in it, but you are trying to sort of put it to an Ganesha, or anything, it gets very much valued Like supposing you give Me a fruit or a equal pressure on the flow. The humility is the best way of conquering are there. Like this Ganesha now for example, this ego of Vishuddhi. And when talking to others, try to develop sweet methods, sweet is concerned, but when made into an art-piece ways unhurting other people. And you will be surprised that Vishuddhi will immediately start value increases with art, but in the realm of behaving in such a sweet manner, because the bhoots don't like sweetness, they are quarrelsome, they are harsh, they are always will be a thousand time more than what it is trying to say something to hurt. because I have touched it and the vibrations if you see the value is zero as far as the metal has some much more value. In this world, the God, or in the spiritual world or Divine world, the value of a Ganesha, the same Ganesha just now as just an art piece. So that is now So this Vishuddhi on the right hand side is what is given to you, a very high value. So to be controlled by surrendering as it is said. the pride and the vanity of artificiality, artificial Actually you surrender your ego to begin with. things, is all man-made, mythical, and should And this ego when you surrender, it has to be be surrendered because it is a myth. done from you heart, it should not be a lip- service. From your heart : "I don't want this ego any more. I want Reality." "Let the Reality be seen by me, felt by me, enjoyed by you surrender your jealousies at the Lotus me." And once you start doing it from your heart, you will be amazed that your voice will actually. The stupid jealousies that you have become sweet. Apart from that, it will have the Divine Power flowing through it. That is what we say that you have now "wak shakti", thing is that the Sahaja Yogis feel jealous of means the power of speach. Then the human mind has another capacity to be jealous, to be jealous of others. This also comes from unwise understanding. If Feet of God, I mean, you are doing all rubbish are as you know, of no value, neither in this world, nor in that world. The most surprising each other ! And I still can't understand how So when you surrender ego, what you do can it be ? If you are standing in the sunshine, actually is to say that "I'm not doing anything, then you all are jealous of your shadowsI it is You who do everything". So that a little Somebody's shadows are big, somebody's 12 Nirmala Yoga shadows are small, so you are jealous of each also must be surrendered. And this could be other ? Sometimes I give a present to one very dangerous in Sahaja Yoga also. This is person, can't give to others, then they get my carpet, this is my camera, this is my tape- jealous ! If I give more time to somebody, recorder. Once you start understanding what then others are jealous !only give more time sometimes to people who really are the Truth. getting lost ! is mine is not the Truth, nothing is mine, that's Also seme people I know of, they say that So one has to understand that all our ideas "my job, or my business, or my enterprise about jealousies are stupid. And I can't under- We had the other day one gentieman in stand those who are not realized, they are Geneva who was very troublesome because jealous of Sahaja Yogis, and they try to make he is so conscious of all these things. them fall 1 Instead of being jealous, So the greed. Also the lust of other women and indulging into lust too much. Giving too much importance to the agencies of lust. That creates great problems, not only for Sahaja-Yogis, but on the whole for Sahaja- they should become like Sahaja Yogis ! In Sahaja Yoga also l've seen some very funny things Like a very angry that "Mother You sport so Yoga also, It is expressed in both types of much time with a particular person, and I'm very jealous. And You said I have to be like world, as well as people who are over- the people about whom I'm jealous solwould like to know how to be like the person who was with you for such a time ?" So I said "That fellow is really a lunatic ! You want to become a lunatic ? Have you no discretion ?" A Sahaja Yogi must have discretion if his Vishuddhi is alright. You should understand that what I'm saying is to be used discreetly, that must be developed, that keeps you a very not blindly. So you can understand, without religious person, dharmic person. And the discretion, whatever I say, how funnily you innocence to know how far to go with men can use it so detrimental to your growth. happening, an incidence. me and was came to person people; those who are living in a very free suppressed. 1 know of people, those, who are supposed to be brought up in very religious so called' atmosphere, when exposed to women, suddenly get too much attracted towards them. See, it is that maturity of your innocence and women. That's the wisdom of innocence. Children, if you see, they know exactly, if there is a lady if there is a man, how to behave. So the innocence is not stupidity. It is a complete wisdom, and very maturesome in its full form. It just knows how to be with So another offshoot of ego is called as "hot temper". Of course it is said to be used against people who try to insult your Mother, you have to do that. That must be used for people who go against the Holy Ghost as Christ has said. In the same way you should people without indulging into anyone of these not tolerate any non-sense against Me from enemies. Each enemy is sufficient to finish anyone whatsoever, not even this much. But you can tolerate other Sahaja Yogis in other So best way to develop that absolute nature matters. not only one person, but billions and billions. of your Vishuddhi Chakra is to witness the whole thing with a detached mind. And to Another enemy we have is gieed. I mean material greed and also human greed, like that She cleanses all these enemies, in such possessing your wife, possessing your children, a way that when you are faced with them, possessing this, possessing Mataji also.

But when He Now even if you understand something says" surrender all these dharmas", He is mentally, it's not your innate nature. So what meaning to say "you should only know I told you yesterday, when you accept some- what you owe to Me" meaning the Divinity. thing mentally and you cannot do it, you feel Now Shri Krishna is not there. it's Me who is guilty about it. Then you become your own Shri Krishna, so you must know what you guru and punish yourself, and try to make owe to Me. I only changed My language. this as your innate nature. It's a state, it He used to take out His finger and to say that clicks. Once it clicks you can see immediately. "give up everything and surrender everything I know who is surrendered. to Me". 1 don't do that way, I give a big lecture and bring you to a point. So Shri Krishna has said that: "Sarva dharmanam.". He has said that "Give up all your dharmas and surrender them to from the right goal that you have to achieve Me, surrender to my dharma only". So the by surrendering. And it is going to work out dharmas we have in our country as we say is very well with you people here, I'm sure, and a "pitra dharma", what you owe to your one day l'll find the whole Germans surrender father, "mātru dharma" what you owe to So, that should not divert your attention at the Lotus Feet of the Divine. INNOC ENCE IS The rich sweet smell of Our Mother Earth, Supporting with great strength the whole of nature's birth, The living plains of Our blessed red land, Extending a loving and guiding hand. A drop of dew, sparkling on a blade of grass, A gentle breeze that will never pass, The soft sun rays of the early morn, A little spring flower who is newly born. The joyful laughter of all the children, Dancing and playing with such glee, Creating so simply this colourful fun, With Shri Ganesha's pure innocent quality. Jai Mataji !! Australian Sahaja Nirmala Yoga 14 DHULIA 14.1.1983 SHRI SARASWATI PUJA With love all kinds of creative action takes always to disappear in the thin air as place. You see how Raulbai has love for me and in this place you all also got ew idea of creating a beautiful thing. And as love will great love of God we talk of, we know that increase your creativity will develop. So the basis of all creativity of Saraswati is love. If there is no love there is no creativity. It is even in the deeper sense, you see; people who have created all the scientific things are also out of love to the masses, not for them- works of the world have vibrations. Only טאא Now this love of, that we talk of, the it for definite through vibrations. People do not have vibrations, but still they can feel the vibrations in a very unconscious way. All the great paintings of the world vibrations. All the great t creative selves. Nobody has produced any thing for themselves. If they make something for them- selves it has to become for universal use, otherwise it has no meaning. Even if you say atom bomb and all these things are created from science, they are also very protective. If they had not created, those people would not have taken out their minds from war. Now, nobody can think of having a big war. Of course, they are having cold that is sustaining, all that is nurturing, all that wars, but that also will gradually stop, when they will be fed up. on right hand side, of Saraswati, basically but within has to end up in love. Starts with love and ends up in love. Whichever does not end up in love, coils up and finishes off. It just love of God, otherwise it has no meaning. disappears: So you can matter which is not used for love, just finishes taken to other methods of appealing to people off. The basis has to be love. Otherwise by using cheap things and very vulgar things, all such matter that we create which has just to make people think that this is art. angularity, which is not fitting into the mass media which is not appealing to the masses; the impact of the time as I told you, it cannot. of course, it takes time, you have seen that it takes time-but it does have that tendency have to disappear and already you can see those who have vibrations have been sustained by time otherwise all other things are des- troyed. There must have been monuments and horrible statues and horrible things that have been created long time back. But they are all destroyed by Nature as they could not stand the impact of the KALA (T)-that is the destructive power of time, So, all is enobling comes from this sense of love, which is within us very much developed, others also who are not yet So all the activity realised. Ultimately the whole world has to realise that one has to go to that ultimate Now you have seen in arts people have that even see It cannot sustain But this will all disappear. Because the time will kill it.

I should say in the West. Much more than they have done in India because they have gone to learn it and they have tried to find out so many things. have all gone the against it. Those who are But only thing they forgot that it is a Goddess, God is the Giver. Everything comes from the Goddess. That is what they forgot. worshippers of the Surya, of the Saraswati And that is why all the problems have been created. If there is no Spirit in your learning if there is no source of the Goddess in your learning, then it is absolutely useless. If they had realised that there is the Spirit that is working it out, they would not have gone that far. And that is what I was warning the Indians, althrough, that you are now taking to industrial revolution in a way and to avoid all the complications of industrial revolution, you must try to know the Spirit. If you donot know the Spirit you will have the same problems as these people have. they are also human beings, you are also human beings. You will also go the same way. At random you will run and there will be problems, the same problems as the Western people have. So there is no the light within. And if Surya Chakra at the then it is even mare essential that the purity of life, what you call 'Niti" (ffa), is the morality of life. Now morality itself has become very much sort of a argument in the West. People don't have any sense of absolute morality. On vibrations of course you know. But they worshippers of Lord Jesus, those who are the have all gone against, against the powers, of Surya, just disobeying it. Because you cannot be a Surya if you don't have a proper sense of morality and holiness. The Surya itself brings light to see everything clearly. So many qualities Surya has got. It dries up everything that is wet, dirty. filthy. It dries up all those places which create par- asites. But so many parasities are created in the West. Not only parasites, but there are horrible cults and horrible things which have come into that: those countries which are supposed to be full of light, and in that darkness they exist. Darkness about the Spirit, darkness about their own knowledge and darkness about love. These three things have taken over in the places where you are supposed to love light. Light does not mean, light does not mean what you see Now Saraswati's blessings are so many with your gross eyes. Light means from Because that one cannot describe in such a short time. within-the light of love. That one should And the Surya (Sun) has given us so many understand- Light of love. And it is so powers that it is impossible to tell them soothing it is so sweet, it is so beautiful, it is so enamouring, it is so abounding that unless and until you can feel that light within go against Saraswati, while doing the you-that light which is of pure love- worship of Saraswati, it is to ba seen very of purity, pure relationship, pure understand- clearly within ourselves. For example the ing. If you can develop that kind of a light Western people are very fond of Surya within yourself, then the whole thing will because they have no Surya, But they go too be cleansed.

The the main thing that one has to achieve purest form of Nature is within us. The even in one lecture, even in ten lectures. But how we go against Surya and how we Nirmala Yoga 16 Our others, becomes Hitler. When it moves to Chakras are made out of that 'purest from of right side, it becomes supraconscious, It starts seeing things which are absurd, which are foolish, which are stupid. When it moves same Saraswati power. You are going against to left side them it starts, talking-I mean, Saraswati itself. Saraswati cleanses all that seeing things-yourself as a big man, as a big Christ or as a big Devi or something like Adi Gurus and '1 am a very great personality, that activity goes against pure intelligence. And is left sided. When it moves backwards, that is the dangerous one. Then people become Gurus which are ruining other psople. When Our purest form of Nature is within US. Nature. We are the only people who are spoiling it by aur mental thinking. Against the is impure in nature, while with our brain acti- vity we are spoiling all that. All our briain that is what one has to understand-that this pure intelligence, is not to be soiled by our thinking. Our thinking can make us so bump- their ego moves backwards then they become tious, so ego-oriented, so impure, that we can really eat the poison and say 'what is wrong in it? Just the opposite of Saraswati. If Saras- wati is within us, She gives us Subuddhi', wisdom. Arnd that is why. to worship Saraswati, to worship Surya, we must have that clear vision as to what we have to be. What we are doing, What filth we are living in. What our mind is getting into. After all we are here for emancipation and not for just talking about it, then it encircles, thickens the for pampering our ego and living with our filth that is with us. So this light has come within us and we should try to rise above Gurus, they themselves have lots of defects in themselves and they try to pull peaple into those horrible stuff which is described as absolute NARAKA ( T ). NARAKA is the movement of ego on all the sides. Now when people try to use their light Vishuddhi, that is, to talk about themselves, is the worst of all. Whatever type of ego you may have, if you start boasting about it and walls of ego so much, that it is impossible to penetrate into that. because such a person is completely satisfied with himself and he believes that he is so. And once he starts Apart from that. you believing into a non-sense like that, its an mental filth which is being our own created around us. have to go higher and understand that there is, within us, a thing called ego. And this ego is false, absolutely false. You do not do anything. Actually when you turn your eyes here and there, when your attention what I am, but how many times do I say 'l am is here and there it is nothing but your ego that is trying to overpower you. ego is a absolute falsehood because there is say so ? At the most if you say something, 1 only one ego and that is the God Almighty, say yes', But I don't say that. Mahata-ahankāra. There is no really any ego loudly, I don't know what may happen. The that exists, it is myth. It is a very big myth, whole thing, might be blasted So, ona has because if you start thinking you are doing to understand that Mahatahankara is the one everything-you are doing this, you are doing that acts, that works, that creates. Sometimes that-which you are not doing: then this non- sensical ego comes in and you start working run away. Just once I shout. Yesterday, it out, it can project in every direction. you saw all the bhoots that were talking, they When it projects forward, it overpowers all ran away. Yesterday this I talked to you. others, it tries to dominate others, tries to kill So you should understand that now you are a impossibility then-imposibility to penetrate. So when you boast about these things or you talk big, be careful, you see. You know that. Even if I say once, you get tremendous But actually vibrations for you. But how many times do I IF I say it I shout at you. Immediately all the bhoots Nirmala Yoga 17 realised soul, you can aiso do the same. Use people have this.' That is the way one your right Vishuddhi to shout at yourself, "Now should do it. will you please stop boasting, will you stop power your ego, you must allow it to spread talking all this nonsense, will you stop show- into every body else, That is how, you will ing off I" Then it will stop. it. Because if you have to over make it perfectly all right. Let it spread. We all SAHAJA YOGIS WE ALL'. But that pride Now this thickening takes place by people is not there. I've seen that pride is not there. who really are active. They want to do some- thing about it, not that they are not active. They want to do. way, is to act talkative. They don't under- stand that there are inner ways by which you control it much more. Because they don't want to take to that, they take to this talking. people. He will see that person is low, that And once they take to talking and they talk about it, the whole power goes out. Still it is very individualistic. If you start thinking, "we' SAHAJA YOGIS', then what happens, that you become 'one' personality. 'one' organisation. But they know only one But the person will look down upon other person is higher, that person is there. But he But if will not think We' the Sahaj Yogis, how beautiful we are. We' the body of Sahaja Yoga, how beautiful we are. So always about your experiences, alright, but if you think in the words of WE', so your ego will become much less much less, much less. And the same ego which looks so funny and absurd will fall tommorrow to the EKADASHA they do not talk about it and keep it within themselves, it is alright. You can tell me start telling others, and talking about it too much, then the power that you have got will be all disappearing gradually. And you will just come down to absolutely lowest level. So one should not too much talk that I have this power, 1 have this power or I think this or I do this, which is a very wrong thing I warn you, DO NOT TRY TO SHOW OFF. Yes, you can talk about my powers. It is all right. But don't try to talk about your powers. When it comes, of course, you talk to some- body who is a negative person or to tell somebody, then you should say that WE, NOT 1. We' have, 'some of us' have felt this power within us. We' have seen people. It may be you only, but you need not say, T have. Today, individual ego will merge into ekādasha. But we all must remember to say 'WE' all time. This is what is today's day is great day for us to change, because the sun has changed its move, now. Sun is coming this side. So let us welcome the Sun, coming to the North now, this vway. And for Austra lians to say that though the sun has gone, let us establish the Sun, the domain of Sun, within ourselves: Because Sun never disap- pears from our inside. So that is how we have to take a mode by which we should What you've to say WE'. Then you become the think of 'one' personality, 'all of us together, all of us together.' And anybody who tries to be something separate or different, he will Mahata-ahankara. When you say 'We' here some of us' we do'. Like in Gregoire's book I made it, I saw to it that he should not have drop out. I will drop him out. Whatever it may be, it will drop out. So you judge your- "we do', 'we', means the whole collective self, anybody who tries to be singled out or being, the whole collective organism, living anything. Everybody must do whatever they like, to nurture the whole, to help the vwhole, to help the whole, to emancipate the whole. But not to, in anyway, put anyone down always. Because this is not the way the many l's but he should have We'. "We think, organism of SAHAJAYOGIS. So if you say, "yes. some of us have got', that means, you put yourself down, but put all others above you. Say Yes, some of us have, I know some Nirmala Yoga 18 dust particle and today just wnile talking to collectivity. And the one who has developed you, remembered that I wanted to be that, this permeating spirit, is a real Sahaja Yogi. and that is what this place is. And Raulbai is like that. She is a very simple woman, very think of yourself, I have nothing to say. But simple woman and she lives like a very simple person. She has a sense of permea- tion. And now there are so many Sahaja not. Like your Mother is. Whether I meet you Yogis, yesterday who came; and I am sure that they will take up Sahaja Yoga very well. ting through all of you, by little-little things There are lots of Sahaja Yogis from Dhulia now. And I am sure there are going to be permeate into each other and see the beauty more people. I hope you have met all of them. Make friends with all of them. Try to is the biggest thing. That's the biggest thing know them who they are. They may not know English. You get somebody to trans- know makes you like a nutshell and it just late. Talk to them and be nice to them. cannot have a rapport with that beauty of friendly with them. I wanted you to meet them for permeation. You should know who are the people here, who are in Nasik. Because somehow we never meet the Sahaja Sahaja Yoga is. Sahaja Yoga only works in Who has not, is not ! Whatever you may this permeating personality which moves from places to places, whether you talk ar or not, makes no difference, but I am permea- also I am there with you. So like that, try to in you. Enjoy yourself the best because that that is to be achieved. Because this ego you Be permeation and just see how the notes move into each other. It will be a great idea today, it is great thing today that we are having puja at Dhulia, Like the Dhulia means the dust. Dust. And Yogis, you see, who are in that particular place. And when we go back we have only one or two addresses. It is not a good idea. Try to see how many people there are. Ask one day 1 had written in childhood, a poem, I remember. Very interesting poem it was-I don't know where it is now-but which questions about them. And all that. said that 1 want to be smaller like a dust This permeation is only possible when your ego starts permeating all around. And this is the way to overcome the problems of the right side and that is how to worship Saraswati. Because Saraswati has a Veena (T) in Her hand and that Veena is the primordial instru- ment which She plays like music, and music is nourishing, that is enlightening. Like that, penetrates into the heart. You don't know how it goes into you and how it works out. That is how a person who is Sahaja yogis should permeate-like music. There are so many long time back, 'that I should be a dust qualities as I told you which cannot be descri- particle. So that I will permeate into people, bed in one lecture. But one of the greatest which is a very big thing-to become a dust quality of Her's is that She ends up into particle of that kind. To just whatever you subtler things like the Mother Earth will end up touch, you see, that becomes enliving, what- into fragrance. Music will end up into melody like that whatever She creates ends up into a great thing to be like that. And that was something greater. Matter, whatever She my desire, and it will be achieved. At that produces ends up into aesthetics. If matter does not have aesthetics then it is gross, like particle which moves with the wind. It goes everywhere. Can go, sit on the head of a king, or can go and full at the feet of some- one. And it can go and sit on a little flower, and it can go and sit everywhere. But I want to be a particle of dust. That is fragrant, that I had written a very beautiful poem, I was about seven years of age, I remember-To be a dust particle,' I remember that very clearly, ever you just feel, that is fragrance. It is such young age, I had this idea of becoming a Nirmala Yoga 19 that everything. Now you will say what is water. Water becomes the river Ganges! becomes that subtler thing. Of course, the These are the subtler things. So the matter gets into subtler thing because it has to per- meate, it has to permeate. So everything acts on matter it becomes that and that is how whatever it is. And the best of all is the air. That air becomes the vibrations! out from this matter, from these five elements, left and right side both work it out. the love has to work on this and when love Because one has to look at your own life, to make it a beautiful combination of love and matter. So you can see how whatever has come May God bless you. MAHA SAHASRARA DAY I located the place where this great event had taken place by the help of vibrations and then sat there in meditation. It is very difficult We draw your attention to the article with the above heading in NIRMALA YOGA (May-June 1983) Vol. 15, page 16. It is to be noted that on 5th, May, 1970. Shri Mataji to describe the intense peace of the Grace Nirmala Devi opened the Sahasrara of VIRATA at NARGOL and not at Bordi as mentioned in the above mentioned article. which I enjoyed in the meditation It was very deep and blissful.

PEREKAR (BOMBAY) Nirmala Yoga 20 Her Holiness Shri Mataji's Advice Be sure that you are telling the Truth and One should know that it is very important for every disciple to worship his Guru. But nothing else and that you have felt the Truth the Guru has to be real Guru, not a one who in full ways. Those who have not felt the is just exploiting the disciples and who is not authorised by God. A PUJA is arranged, They have no authority. They have to receive because you have been initiated into the vibrations. They have to fully imbibe within Statutes of the LORD. You have been told what are the DHARMAS of a human being. This is very important task Sahaja Yogis have For that actually you do not need a Guru. to do in these modern times-i.e. to teil aloud You can read a book and know what are the that they have found the Truth. Statutes of the LORD. But Guru has to see that you practice them. These Statutes are to friends, relations and everyone and tell them, be practiced, to be brought into your own life: "This is the Truth now. That you have entered which is a difficult thing and without a Guru, in the kingdom of God. That you have been a correcting force, it is very difficult to follow blessed by the Grace of God. That you are these Statutes of the Lord because there is a very big gap between human awareness and power which is prevailing everywhere, Divine awareness and that gap can only be filled by a Guru, who himself is complete. vibrations should not talk of Sahaja Yoga. them and then they can say, "Yes, we felt."

INNOCENCE Deep in our heart we feel the longing for a Mother we cannot thank you but with the most loving and most powerful state of being. strong wish to establish the kingdom of God Innocence is that state, it is power itself.

But it is all the play of Buddhi (the intellect) Sahaja Yoga is a very subtle process. Few people know that it is a very subtle process. how interesting it is! Now, I have come and Sushumna Nadi is extremely small, extremely thin, exactly at the centre of Brahma Nadi, reason is man's attachment to his karmas, That extremely subtle channel Brahma Nadi is loaded with sin and dirty things and thereby gets so much narrowed, that very thin fibre of being.

Imagine that considered useless and tortured but when he Kundalini is like an enlightened rope made of died he was regarded as Bhagwan (God). small fibres.

Most of you have seen Kundalini's movements and pulsations. She tries to make, somehowa small opening at the bottom, so that it becomes possible to pass at least one strand through the extremely narrow passage of Brahma Nadi and with that very subtle strand She pierces the Brahma- randhra.

I cannot understand what hallucination is there on human intellect, that he does not accept the truth which he is seeing but accepts something that is not seen ! Its reason was understood long back and that is Ahankar (ego). some sense of propriety but an egoist can be worse than a donkey. If a man is equated I always say, you will be surprised to see If one gets how the ego is inflated in a man. excess of money he goes astray. One out of one lakh rich people, talks sense.

Never would that man think, accepted Shri Rama in his days, he would that the money he has got could be spent on have told you to get your Kundalini awakened the work, within himself and without that and get the realisation and get established in would be acceptable to God and would Sahaja Yoga.

Nirmala Yoga 29 CHILDREN WE SAHAJA From the first wave that gave us birth, resounding through the universe, From the first sound we were born, to reverberate through the resounding world. Of father's eternal auspiciousness and Mother's joyous love and innocence, Of spontaneous play and freedom dance, of eternal longing we were born. To give meaning to sanctity, to return essence to sacredness, To give vein to joyous song and mirth, and flow in freedom throughout the earth For of our Mother's womb we were born, and once more from Her crowned head, And in both were unctuous joy and love, and immaculate glory overspread. Like a fabric She takes the cosmic sounds, rends and from the rents give forth, Eternal sounds that dance like men, and to eternal glory return again. Like bees round nectar drinking deeply, soul deep round the sacred cup, In sacred innocents cheeerful shouting, crowd thick around their Mother's lap. Like lotuses waving in the wind, each one filled with sacred strands, And bowing to each lotus head with wings outspread, filling deep their lotus hands. Lotus like born of loving softness, returning softness born of love. Each one filled joyously resounding, the softness of the eternal word. Each with sacred love cascading, each with love sacred overflowing, Each to cosmic love surrendering, Eternal lost in eternal love. Each child longs to meet its Mother, drowned in Her fulfilling love, Each one longs to peal with laughter, and pour his love into the flood. Each one pouring with reverence flowing, the glory that is of his birthright. Each in glory deep entwining drawing, the threads of eternal union tight. Each one brother to the other, sister to each others love, Proving in their close communion, the boundless limits of their Mother's love.

This is the test of a seeker and a non-seeker can Ego and super-ego are the greatest enemies. I have seen people who suffer from super-ego.

We should realise that we are in no way exceptional, for only you are blowing up your ego. You have to be ideals. You have to be in the centre. You have to be a Sahaja Yogi. That is the most important thing. Don't judge yourself by what you think of yourself mad or crazy or anything but they will realise but what Mother thinks of you. How much joy are you giving to your Mother ? If you than they do. You are much more peaceful, make Her unhappy then what is the use, so and you cannot inject seeking into them. But after reaching They may become materially well off but they can never become seekers and you forget about them. You may have to suffer because have a nabhi chakra you suffer. This kind of person is very difficult to change. Do not waste your energy. Christ has side "do not cast your pearls before swine", You cannot force anybody to become a seeker. There are millions of seekers in the world, so forget about such relationships. They may call you one thing that you lead a much better life blissful, dharmic and sane but they won't accept your life. Play around with them with the understanding that they cannot change. Even if they change mentally they cannot have You must have noticed that there are really very few true seekers in this world. And Nirmala Yoga 36 The simple answer is that whatever you do with your mind like shouting, howling. jumping etc, can be done by the limited mind. So ane who is doing is some human agency, some human being and not the Divine, But you cannot make your Kundalini pulsate with your mind. The Divine, it it has to do something, MOTHER: They will go out of circulation. it must be extra-ordinary which human beings Sahaja Yoga rejects more than accepts. It is cannot do. To pulsate Kundalini is only possible for the Divine. It is a living force. Man makes that urge because to a seeker nothing is important except seeking. QUESTION : What about the people who are good people, not seekers, but who have got realisation but don't seem to see the signifi- cance of Sahaja yoga ? a judgement going on. Such people will go out of realisation. You can talk to them of things-dead things. Man can do dead actions. realisation, give them bandhans etc. for, they But a living force cannot be activated. What is the need to go to the gurus if they make you ted but they are lost otherwise. For example, do the limited actions of the mind. You can and jump without little butter comes out and the rest is butter them. But you cannot make the Kundalini are the people in whom you could be interes- butter is made out of curd by churning. A always shout, howl milk. To seperate it, a big lump of butter is pulsate. put in the butter-milk and when it is churned all the butter gets around that big lump and gathers into a larger lump of butter. But some butter particles are left behind. If they do not stick to the larger lump of butter they are Divine does something which you cannot You cannot make the cool breezes flow from your hand, So, if you go beyond the mind it has to be something extraordinary, thrown away with butter-milk. So, those who something different. The limited and the do not come to Sahaja Yoga and are not upto unlimited are two different dimensions. This is the secret of your Mother's Mayā, that I live on unlimited and do unlimited things. That is how I create Maya. You can know me only through knowing your vibratory awareness. If you put your hand on the head of someone nobody can make you shake. So the Divine force is something that human beings cannot The question is that the psychologists say do through their mind. I repeat, you cannot that mind is limited, i.e. whatever the mind pulsate the Kundalini. It is a living force and does is limited. Whatever action we perform human being cannot create or generate life. is done through mind only and this mind has They cannot make the pupil dilate when the Kundalini goes up. As ordinary humans and the unlimited. So something has to be which so-called gurus cannot feel the vibrations you is beyond the control of the mind, that is the cannot talk of the vibratory awareness to only spontaneous thing. Now see the confu- them but you can see with your naked eyes. They cannot make the cool breeze come out mental level. What is the basic difference bet- of your head.

Then, A Letter from Canada Dear Brothers and Sisters, There was a time a few years ago when I, and many others, believed that in the light of the world's social, economic and political situation we were surely doomed. Very few advocated recovery and enlightenment for it appeared that we were in the cenre of an irreversible worldwide crisis. These were the days before I knew I was a seeker (not a quru shopper but rather a knowledge hound). Those were days of sadness, disappointment and general skepticism. I felt as though the Universal unknown entity had led me down the garden path and I didn't know where to turn. I prayed continually to the "collective" to help me and show me the way, one thought always remained in my mind. However, I knew that before this life time was out I would learn the secret to it "alI". All this occurred through the years 1971-1978. I know now that my prayers were being answered. I know, also, that these were not only my personal formative years but also the formative years of Sahaja Yoga and the beginning of the reversal of all adharmic direction. Most of us have experienced this mysterious guidance from our holy Mother and we do feel fortunate to have been blessed this way. She is so wonderful! A very beautiful thing about our Divine Mother's love is that that She has ena bled us to rise above all the nonsense of the Maya to experience the truth and reality; the love and the bliss that is heaven on earth. Although this is astounding by itself, it is also quite amazing to realize that we have only begun and that the possibilities are virtually inconceivable at this point ! We can now say with absolute joy, faith and authority that yes, there is hope, there is a great light at the end of the tunnel. Things will change and improve, we will all become one again and the absolute peace and love will once again be restored. Very soon we will be thriving within the supreme radiance of our Divine Mother's grace. The world will never look Back again ! Much love, your sister, Liallyn Musa Calgary, Alberta, Canada Nirmala Yoga 38 LEADERS IN SAHAJA YOGA-PART I To obey God means "Thy will be done".

When projected inside, it &llows us to watch how the ego plays its rebellious tricks, how the super ego isolates our cons- ciousness from God's will through a cocoon Without full attention. real obedience to Shri Mataji is not possible. And without developing such a respectful sense of obedience how could we call for at and whom to obey.

This is what our Kundalini does when Shri Mataji's pre- of conditionnings. sence is felt. And this is a fundamental characteristic of those who are to become leaders in Sahaja Yoga : they have to display absolute, uncompromising obedience to the Mahavatar Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

Obedience to Shri Mataji is the establishment of our brotherhood with Shri Ganesha- Christ. -Obedience to Her is the highest punya. -Obedience to Her is the acceleration of the evolutionary process. -Obedience to Her is the actualisation of surrender. -Obedience to Her is the way to the Father. Obedience to Her is the mark of pure intelligence. -Obedience to Her, the Parameshwari, the sacred Emperess, obedience to Her again and again. JAI MATAJI A disciple The Visage of Salvation *Here is free prospect wide, Faust is the piece of the German literature which should be read by all Sahaja Yogis. The soul up-bearing. Goethe's Doctor Faust was the archetype of There women-figures glide, Heavenwards faring. With them the heavenly Queen, the modern seeker. He was so sure that nothing, short of the Absolute, could quench his thirst that he made a pact with Mephisto- pheles, the Devil, prince of the seducers.

Nirmala Yoga 5F 1983_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-5.txt Editorial Prayers have a great importance in human life. What is praying? It is an expression to one's desire and requesting and soliciting its fulfilment, to a power that is far superior and that, one knows, would bestow what is desired. Praying suggests accepting one's inability to accomplish the objective only through one's own efforts. It is surrendering to the will of the power, to either grant or reject the request, although response in the positive is generally assumed. Right-sided persons are over-confident of their capabilities, and have no faith in praying whereas, left sided would only desire and pray, without making any efforts. However, right- sided people, on failing to achieve what they desire, turn to praying. As has been seen on many occasions, after doctors express helplessness people seek Sahaja cures, which involves, praying for the self-realization and recitation of mantras besides other treatment. Althaugh praying would appear to be a left-side activity, its origin would be from right side at personal level, as their orientation is to achieve limited personal ambition. In such cases, the prayers could possibly be the result of egotism and would come from ego not from heart. Even pujas are performed, by some people desiring a materialistic reward, which is again a right-side activity. Puja-mantras are the prayers invoking the deities to be present for the puja and accept offerings. However, praying would help balancing over-active right side provided the recitation of prayers is done from heart and with complete surrender. It is not just muttering of words that makes a prayer, but sincerity of heart that is associated with it. Also, it is important to dis- criminate so as to avoid reciting the prayers that have left-side bias. It is essential to recite the compositions of realized souls. It is also equally important that one should be clear on all chakras, at least on vishuddhi, so that mantras and prayers invoke good vibrations and become effective. Before beginning the recitation, one should improve vishuddhi by saying "Om Twameva Sakshat Sarva Mantra Siddhi Sakshat Shri Adi Shakti Shri Mataji Shri Nirmala Devyai Namo Namaha". Sanskrit synonym for the word prayer, is 'prärthana'. i.e. 'pra l arthana'. Arthanā is reques- ting or soliciting. Shri Mataji has advised us that words having prefix 'Pra' suggests enlighten- ment. Hence 'prärthana is an enlightened prayer, is a prayer made by a person who has got his Nirmala Yoga 1983_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-6.txt enlightenment. Enlightenment comes from the Spirit. Hence such prayers are the expressions of desires of the Spirit. They have the power to turn one's attention towards Atma, and kindle the spark of desire in every one's mind, to seek the ultimate. They inspire those, in whose hearts the spark has grown into a flame, to go deeper and closer to the Spirit, e.g. Om Brahma Medhase/Madhu Medhase/Brahmaiva madhu medhase (please give me Brähma, please give me honey i.e. sweet. Brahma alone is sweet.) Many vedic mantras are prayers to different deities requesting help for seeking the ultimate. Great sages of ancient yore have prayed even to the Sun, Moon, Wind-God (Vayu) and Varuna (rain God) and also to water to give them strength so that they could attain the realization of Atman. It is interesting to see the following prayer. MEL आपो हिण्छा मरयोभवस् ता न ऊर्जे दधातन महे रणाय चृक्षसे ।। ॐ Om äpo hishthā mayo-bhuvastāna ūrje dadhātana. Mahe-ranilya chakshase. O water as you are pleasing, give us food and protect us for attaining Self-realization which is extremely blissful. By the grace of Shri Mataji, Sahaja yogis have got their enlightenment. Hence pravers composed by them, or their recitation of the prayers composed by other great saints & prophets would be prärthana' in real sense. All the deities are awake within the Supreme Goddess and respond quickly when invoked in Her name. Our brothers would certainly allow us to seek their indulgence, and help us. Humbly approach Shri Ganesha at Mooladhar and pray for his blessings and to give us his innocence & purity so that we become loving children of our Mother keeping absolute faith in Her, and request him to join us to pray to Her to keep Her form in good health for years & years. With Shri Ganesha's permission respectfully pray to mother Kundalini to clean our subtle being and develop the flickering flame of our Spirit into a big torch, that would be one with Supreme Spirit. Then pray with her to Sakshat Shri Mahākundalini to be ever present amidst us in Her present form and give realization to all the seekers. Bow to Shri Brahmadeva, the God of creation, whose four faces are said to be four Vedas and his shakti, Shri Saraswati, Goddess of knowledge and art. Pray to him, in the name of Shri Mataji, that we enjoy the beauty of his creations rather than thinking and planning about ours. Surely, Shri Brahmadeva and Shri Saraswati would pray with us to Cosmic Mother Jagadamba, the creatrix of everything from Brahmadeva down to an insect, to protect and guide all the seekers, in Her present form, for ever and ever. Thereafter, with complete reverence approach the sustainer of creation, the protector of Dharma, and his power Shri Lakshmi. May his qualities be awakened in us, so that we work tirelessly for the divine cause of propagating Sahaja Yoga. May he allow us to pray along with them, to Adi-shakti, that all satanic & adharamic forces be destroyed. Obeisance to Primordial Master, at Bhavasagar, who came many times in the world, by the instructions of Adi-shakti, to help man-kind evolve itself. Seek his forgiveness for the ill- treatment meted out to his incarnations. Our sincere desire is to be the instruments in the Nirmala Yoga 1983_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-7.txt myriad hands of Param Parameshwari. May the qualities of Primodial Master be inculcated by us. Surrender before the Father of the Universe. Existence of all existences. Again and again pray for being pardoned as we are engrossed in the illusion, ignoring the reality. May our attention ever rest at the feet of our Cosmic Parents who are one as words and their meaning and are manifesting themselves as our Beloved Mother. May our endeavour be to always please Her. Salutations to Shri Krishna and Shri Radha who showed the divine play as a child and also showed true Virata cosmic form having myriads of hands, faces and legs, encompassing within his being every living and non living thing in the universe. He played and danced with every milk-man and milk-maid and awakened their kundalinis and at the same time transcended above them, thus proving that Supreme Spirit is all-pervading and foundational to al existence and yet uninvolved and unaffected by it. May Shri Radha &Shri Krishna, one as Sun-rays and sun-light, within our Mother. lead us to the perfect witness state, May the Mother of entire creation be amongst us in good health for years & years. Let us approach Shri Jesus and Shri Mary after repeating Lord's prayer. Remember, "forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us". We deserve God's forgiveness only after we forgive others. May he help us grow in our awareness beyond our narrow individuality. May he confer upon us his dedication and love for our Mother. Sahasrara ! Integrated and subtle universe ! The kingdom of God placed in every human being. Our Beloved Mother is the Empress, Raja-rājeshwari of the kingdom of God, Rājya-da- yini, the conferer of the kingdom of God. She has granted liberally all boons and all that is auspicious to Her children. Let us not forget that She is Abhyäsāti-shaya-Jnäta. (aaa , known through tremendously long practice). It is only through the intense meditation that we can know Her. Let every Sahaja yogi make a vow to accept Her every spoken word and not to be casual in Her presence; to devote whole heartedly to the cause of Sahaja Yoga. May the kingdom of God be soon established in the universe, Om Twameva Sakshat Sarva Mantra Siddhi Sakshat Shri Adi-Shakti Shri Matajl Shri Nirmala Devyal Namo Namah 6. Nirmala Yoga 1983_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-8.txt GENEVA Aug. 28, 1983 Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala Devi Shri Krishna Puja Today we are celebrating here in this holy land the birthday of Shri Krishna.

And the aware, absolutely aware of His powers, with- Adi Shakti or the Holy Ghost is the other aspect of Sadashiva which is His power. So "Samhära shakti“ by which He could destroy when Shri Krishna incarnated on this Earth, all those people who tried to harm the divine an aspect of this Adi Shakti came on this manifestation. Earth as Rädha. She is the same who came as the Mother of Christ, and She gave the name of Christ as the surname of Shri Krishna, as if it is Krishna's name, from Krishna. He's called as "Krisht" in Indian languages, Krisht. And I have told you before why he was called as Yeshu or Jesu. So today we are Yogeshwara means the Lord of the Yoga, or the Power of Yoga. He is called because Now as a yogi, He was born out any ego. He had a special power called This "Samhãra shakti" is experssed as the Chakra (Sudarshan) in His hand. And another is hand. These two the "Gada" (Mace) in His powers were within Him, and He acted according to the power of Radha, because She is the one to the two aspects of Shri who sustained the power of Shri Krishna. Krishna, which were the manifestation of His The proof of that is this that when He was in Gokul with Radha He did all His 'samhara' work. And afterwards He just became a chariot-driver for Arjuna.

In Rama's life they showed a man; man, a Purushottama, the best of the father in wordly affairs. y Arjuna, He became even a chariot-driver. showed Him the highest fatherhood as in Yogeshwara or in divine work. So the first aspect of Shri Krishna we have to understand He knew who was a devil and who was not, is the Yogeshwara and the second aspect of who is good who is bad, who is possessed And in Shri Krishna's life they The another great quality of Yogeshwara was complete discretion power built-in.

He had the the capacity, I mean He was a Sakshi Himself absolutely. If He eats His food, He does not I should say this way is easier to understand. He was a Sākshi, He had the capacity of He sees, He does not see. If He hears, He does witnessing the whole world as a play. At not hear. It has no effect on Him, no retention the time of Rama, Rama was one who got involved into his problems, to show as if he is complete: sixteen petals is complete moon, is a full human being so that human beings sixteenth day of the moon is the Purnima. should not say that he was God so how could we accept God because 'he was God after all' ? Now this capacity in Him to witness confidence should not be confused with ego. has to be seen in every yogi. The element He controls is ether. We call it "Akāsha" complete dharma,lit is complete love, complete in Sanskrit. This ether now as you know, we are using for our television, for our radio, it should be. for every sort of a collective work. So we have to be in charge of the ether element as yogis. And that is the subtlest of all, what He was meaning is that all other things in the sense that you permeate everything about which you are worried "You give up with that, and is above all Like plastic also permeates into everything into matter, into everything up to the air. But it cannot enter into ether. So the negativity connot enter into ether. So when you enter into your ethereal eat it. If He speaks, He does not speak. If on Him, no action on Him. Whatever He is, He That is how one has to be, complete in one- self, complete confidence in oneself. But But confidence is complete wisdom, it's beauty, and is complete God. That's what Now when He said that "'you give up all your dharmas and surrender to Me" in Gita, and become one with me, so I look after you". Give up the responsibility to Shri Krishna, so the complete integrated Divinity will start expressing through you. Means if you say that you have to be responsible, then He says alright, go ahead, try! But if you say that thoughtless awareness. So to achieve your "You are responsible, I'm just an institution zone, you actually enter into the area which is ethereal state, you have to expand your or an instrument in Your hand", then you start thoughtless awareness. And the sustenance manifesting it well. And that is how your of that is done by Christ, by the Spirit. So you can realize now as a yogi, your state of mind should be ethereal. Vishuddhi chakra gets opened up. This is some part of the Yogeshwara I have spoken to you. But as He is the brain within us, He becomes the brain within us. We And what should be the state of your super-ego ? This is the ego part of it, that have to know all the qualities of a divine you should be in ethereal state.

Then the negativity will separate from you. brain are within. So whatever we do with our brain like intrigue, the deception, all Nega- which are bad things by your brain as they call it, are done by Him for the divine purpose without getting any blemish upon himself. And the other side of it, so called positive, So the ego and the super-ego both rise like politics like diplomacy, or like leadership. all that is His own doing, like even the think- he from theVishuddhi chakra.

As a play. everything is done as a play, you are more powerful and more tricky. because He's the Master, as we call, a "sutra dhära", the one who does the prologue in a drama, the one who plays with the strings with the pantomimes. far as their effect on us is concerned, because Because the Virata Shakti has now taken that form, like the tree when it grows, it grows upward. But when it is leaden with fruit, it comes down. First it is attractive by its flowers, by its timber, by the other parts Now the other thing that we have to understand Shri Krishna at this stage of of its body. And people try to destroy it for Sahaja Yoga, that it is the Virāta Shakti that is manifesting at this time and not the Shri Krishna Shakti which was at His time. And humility, is very valuable the power that is working here is no more that of Radha or of Mary, but of Viratangana. Because you are That's why the knowledge of sahaja-yogis so valuable that those people who wanted is much wider than the knowledge of all the saints of ages. But it is not deeper than them. If you can deepen your knowledge, gain something out of these fruits. So today this wider knowledge will have proper roots within you. So the brain are the roots, here are the roots of the whole tree of life. Actually yogi with them it is so precious, Say one Kundalini comes up and waters the brain first. ordinary man gets his Realization, then he so that the whole tree of life is drenched in the Divine Bliss and Divine Knowledge. it. But when the fruit appear, they want to preserve it, and the tree bends down, with So you are the fruits. That Viratangana Shakti. you are the fruits. to ruin or to destroy the Divine power from this Earth will start thinking that they have to the Virata Shakti has given you a great value, because people see that by having one sahaja- develops his value. In that his own value he can be respected, loved, and he can be given the highest if he's a proper sahaja-yogi. So this Virata Shakti that we have to work out, gives us the sense of collective consciousness first. First we understand it through our brain power. brain power is to be guided by the Heart, is to result of that, all these different churches, be watered; but in sanskrit is a very beautiful word "sinchan", like dewdrops, spray, with the Love of God. So the integration of this they will see their benefit in it. But you have brain has to take with Heart and with your liver, Then only the Virata-Shakti takes another form. The weapons of killing be- come the weapons of forgiveness. Every sort of destructive power is used for the construc- tion. As if it is tricked. So you should understand today that Virata Shakti is "we are going to worship that Virata Shakti which has given fruits", As a But the whole fanaticism, and atheism and communism and all that-ism, all these will neutralize because to become that. That is the biggest thing one has to know is to bend down towards the Mother Earth. To be humble. Absolutely the humility inside is really going to give you the complete value of sahaja-yoga fruits. Those sahaja-yogis who boast about themselves are like the fruit which are getting ruined only on the tree. The only fruits that bend down are accepted as good and matured fruits, and not those who assert that they are the highest. But some of the negative people should not by any chance take advantage of Like now I told them a trick, how to trick these gurus. The power that they have can be tricked against them, as is said that their teeth must be put into their necks, into their throats. Instead of taking out their teeth better put them back into their throats. And Nirmala Yoga 1983_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-11.txt yourself. And leaving everything to the power of gravity of your Mother to do every work for you. And leaving all your small little worries behind, you have to rise above these distracting powers and achieve the completion of this Virata-Shakti which ulti- mately becomes a "Madhura Shakti". "Ma- dhura"; there is no word in English language, but it means a "sweet power". Like the fruit becomes sweet. That's how you all have to become very sweet. Krishna tried to make sunshine or getting to better water supply or everything very sweet in the sense it was all this and say that they are good because they are bending down. It's not the logic. Some of them pose they are humble; even a rotten fruit bends down. But the mature fruit shows its humility by its weight. That is the guru- tattwa weight. So from the Viratangana power you get the power of maturity up to the fruit and then we become blessed by guru principle. Those who are still involved in getting to better all these things, are not yet matured, because a Madhura Shakti that was acting, all His play. the fruit doesn't need anything anymore. It all His dancing, all His stories if you read, is doesn't need anything from the Mother Earth, nothing but Madhura Shakti, towards Gopas nor from the elements. But it surrenders, r and Gopis, towards other sahaja-yogis. bends, it bows to the Mother Earth. So you have to keep your Mother pleased So the sahaja-yogi who goes on asking by pleasing other Sahaja-yogis, and not other questions to Mother, bringing personal prob- people. They are not important. So today lems, stupid ideas, negativity, all those people are still not yet the fruits. we are going to shorten the Puja, and that's why it took so much time upstairs, to shorten But the matured people are those who it ! So the time lost is time gained for ever surrender, who bow to the Mother Earth. So the capacity to bow is the best judgement of and ever. May God bless you.

Supposing you have speak more about the Vishuddhi chakra and about Shri Krishna's aspect within us. first Puja in Geneva, I spoke quite a lot about it, but there is no end to it, of course, because it is the centre of Virata. But one has to realize that the message of Shri Krishna was to surrender. Now the surrendering that we think in the gross way is like an enemy weapons, good weapons, effective good surrenders to another enemy.

All the vowels that we use come from Vishudhi chakra. And like in Deva- nagri language it is a...ang-äha. So as you know you cannot compile a word without a vowel, it is so important. A consonant is weak, without any strength, without the talk to Me, like saying "no Mother". It is vowel. So the strength of a person comes very common, if I say anything, the first through the Vishuddhi chakra in his speach. reaction of people could be "no Mother". But it can be absolutely stiff also, the strength After all you see there is a course going on, time and we start using it to assert ourselves when we talk to someone.

And when talking to others, try to develop sweet methods, sweet is concerned, but when made into an art-piece ways unhurting other people. And you will be surprised that Vishuddhi will immediately start value increases with art, but in the realm of behaving in such a sweet manner, because the bhoots don't like sweetness, they are quarrelsome, they are harsh, they are always will be a thousand time more than what it is trying to say something to hurt. because I have touched it and the vibrations if you see the value is zero as far as the metal has some much more value.

Apart from that, it will have the Divine Power flowing through it. That is what we say that you have now "wak shakti", thing is that the Sahaja Yogis feel jealous of means the power of speach.

So I said "That fellow is really a lunatic ! You want to become a lunatic ? Have you no discretion ?" A Sahaja Yogi must have discretion if his Vishuddhi is alright. You should understand that what I'm saying is to be used discreetly, that must be developed, that keeps you a very not blindly. So you can understand, without religious person, dharmic person.

Of course it is said to be used against people who try to insult your Mother, you have to do that. That must be used for people who go against the Holy Ghost as Christ has said.

You see how Raulbai has love for me and in this place you all also got ew idea of creating a beautiful thing. And as love will great love of God we talk of, we know that increase your creativity will develop. So the basis of all creativity of Saraswati is love. If there is no love there is no creativity. It is even in the deeper sense, you see; people who have created all the scientific things are also out of love to the masses, not for them- works of the world have vibrations.

Those who are But only thing they forgot that it is a Goddess, God is the Giver. Everything comes from the Goddess. That is what they forgot. worshippers of the Surya, of the Saraswati And that is why all the problems have been created. If there is no Spirit in your learning if there is no source of the Goddess in your learning, then it is absolutely useless. If they had realised that there is the Spirit that is working it out, they would not have gone that far. And that is what I was warning the Indians, althrough, that you are now taking to industrial revolution in a way and to avoid all the complications of industrial revolution, you must try to know the Spirit. If you donot know the Spirit you will have the same problems as these people have. they are also human beings, you are also human beings. You will also go the same way. At random you will run and there will be problems, the same problems as the Western people have. So there is no the light within. And if Surya Chakra at the then it is even mare essential that the purity of life, what you call 'Niti" (ffa), is the morality of life.

But they worshippers of Lord Jesus, those who are the have all gone against, against the powers, of Surya, just disobeying it. Because you cannot be a Surya if you don't have a proper sense of morality and holiness. The Surya itself brings light to see everything clearly. So many qualities Surya has got. It dries up everything that is wet, dirty. filthy. It dries up all those places which create par- asites. But so many parasities are created in the West. Not only parasites, but there are horrible cults and horrible things which have come into that: those countries which are supposed to be full of light, and in that darkness they exist. Darkness about the Spirit, darkness about their own knowledge and darkness about love. These three things have taken over in the places where you are supposed to love light.

Our thinking can make us so bump- their ego moves backwards then they become tious, so ego-oriented, so impure, that we can really eat the poison and say 'what is wrong in it? Just the opposite of Saraswati. If Saras- wati is within us, She gives us Subuddhi', wisdom. Arnd that is why. to worship Saraswati, to worship Surya, we must have that clear vision as to what we have to be. What we are doing, What filth we are living in. What our mind is getting into. After all we are here for emancipation and not for just talking about it, then it encircles, thickens the for pampering our ego and living with our filth that is with us. So this light has come within us and we should try to rise above Gurus, they themselves have lots of defects in themselves and they try to pull peaple into those horrible stuff which is described as absolute NARAKA ( T ). NARAKA is the movement of ego on all the sides. Now when people try to use their light Vishuddhi, that is, to talk about themselves, is the worst of all. Whatever type of ego you may have, if you start boasting about it and walls of ego so much, that it is impossible to penetrate into that. because such a person is completely satisfied with himself and he believes that he is so. And once he starts Apart from that. you believing into a non-sense like that, its an mental filth which is being our own created around us. have to go higher and understand that there is, within us, a thing called ego. And this ego is false, absolutely false. You do not do anything. Actually when you turn your eyes here and there, when your attention what I am, but how many times do I say 'l am is here and there it is nothing but your ego that is trying to overpower you. ego is a absolute falsehood because there is say so ? At the most if you say something, 1 only one ego and that is the God Almighty, say yes', But I don't say that. Mahata-ahankāra. There is no really any ego loudly, I don't know what may happen. The that exists, it is myth. It is a very big myth, whole thing, might be blasted So, ona has because if you start thinking you are doing to understand that Mahatahankara is the one everything-you are doing this, you are doing that acts, that works, that creates. Sometimes that-which you are not doing: then this non- sensical ego comes in and you start working run away. Just once I shout. Yesterday, it out, it can project in every direction. you saw all the bhoots that were talking, they When it projects forward, it overpowers all ran away. Yesterday this I talked to you. others, it tries to dominate others, tries to kill So you should understand that now you are a impossibility then-imposibility to penetrate.

We' the body of Sahaja Yoga, how beautiful we are. So always about your experiences, alright, but if you think in the words of WE', so your ego will become much less much less, much less. And the same ego which looks so funny and absurd will fall tommorrow to the EKADASHA they do not talk about it and keep it within themselves, it is alright. You can tell me start telling others, and talking about it too much, then the power that you have got will be all disappearing gradually. And you will just come down to absolutely lowest level. So one should not too much talk that I have this power, 1 have this power or I think this or I do this, which is a very wrong thing I warn you, DO NOT TRY TO SHOW OFF. Yes, you can talk about my powers. It is all right. But don't try to talk about your powers. When it comes, of course, you talk to some- body who is a negative person or to tell somebody, then you should say that WE, NOT 1. We' have, 'some of us' have felt this power within us. We' have seen people. It may be you only, but you need not say, T have. Today, individual ego will merge into ekādasha. But we all must remember to say 'WE' all time. This is what is today's day is great day for us to change, because the sun has changed its move, now. Sun is coming this side. So let us welcome the Sun, coming to the North now, this vway. And for Austra lians to say that though the sun has gone, let us establish the Sun, the domain of Sun, within ourselves: Because Sun never disap- pears from our inside. So that is how we have to take a mode by which we should What you've to say WE'. Then you become the think of 'one' personality, 'all of us together, all of us together.' And anybody who tries to be something separate or different, he will Mahata-ahankara. When you say 'We' here some of us' we do'. Like in Gregoire's book I made it, I saw to it that he should not have drop out. I will drop him out. Whatever it may be, it will drop out. So you judge your- "we do', 'we', means the whole collective self, anybody who tries to be singled out or being, the whole collective organism, living anything. Everybody must do whatever they like, to nurture the whole, to help the vwhole, to help the whole, to emancipate the whole. But not to, in anyway, put anyone down always. Because this is not the way the many l's but he should have We'. "We think, organism of SAHAJAYOGIS. So if you say, "yes. some of us have got', that means, you put yourself down, but put all others above you. Say Yes, some of us have, I know some Nirmala Yoga 18 1983_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-20.txt dust particle and today just wnile talking to collectivity. And the one who has developed you, remembered that I wanted to be that, this permeating spirit, is a real Sahaja Yogi. and that is what this place is. And Raulbai is like that. She is a very simple woman, very think of yourself, I have nothing to say. But simple woman and she lives like a very simple person. She has a sense of permea- tion.

Because somehow we never meet the Sahaja Sahaja Yoga is. Sahaja Yoga only works in Who has not, is not ! Whatever you may this permeating personality which moves from places to places, whether you talk ar or not, makes no difference, but I am permea- also I am there with you. So like that, try to in you. Enjoy yourself the best because that that is to be achieved. Because this ego you Be permeation and just see how the notes move into each other. It will be a great idea today, it is great thing today that we are having puja at Dhulia, Like the Dhulia means the dust. Dust. And Yogis, you see, who are in that particular place. And when we go back we have only one or two addresses. It is not a good idea. Try to see how many people there are. Ask one day 1 had written in childhood, a poem, I remember. Very interesting poem it was-I don't know where it is now-but which questions about them. And all that. said that 1 want to be smaller like a dust This permeation is only possible when your ego starts permeating all around. And this is the way to overcome the problems of the right side and that is how to worship Saraswati. Because Saraswati has a Veena (T) in Her hand and that Veena is the primordial instru- ment which She plays like music, and music is nourishing, that is enlightening. Like that, penetrates into the heart. You don't know how it goes into you and how it works out. That is how a person who is Sahaja yogis should permeate-like music.

That is fragrant, that I had written a very beautiful poem, I was about seven years of age, I remember-To be a dust particle,' I remember that very clearly, ever you just feel, that is fragrance.

Water becomes the river Ganges! becomes that subtler thing. Of course, the These are the subtler things. So the matter gets into subtler thing because it has to per- meate, it has to permeate. So everything acts on matter it becomes that and that is how whatever it is. And the best of all is the air. That air becomes the vibrations! out from this matter, from these five elements, left and right side both work it out. the love has to work on this and when love Because one has to look at your own life, to make it a beautiful combination of love and matter.

Of father's eternal auspiciousness and Mother's joyous love and innocence, Of spontaneous play and freedom dance, of eternal longing we were born. To give meaning to sanctity, to return essence to sacredness, To give vein to joyous song and mirth, and flow in freedom throughout the earth For of our Mother's womb we were born, and once more from Her crowned head, And in both were unctuous joy and love, and immaculate glory overspread. Like a fabric She takes the cosmic sounds, rends and from the rents give forth, Eternal sounds that dance like men, and to eternal glory return again. Like bees round nectar drinking deeply, soul deep round the sacred cup, In sacred innocents cheeerful shouting, crowd thick around their Mother's lap. Like lotuses waving in the wind, each one filled with sacred strands, And bowing to each lotus head with wings outspread, filling deep their lotus hands. Lotus like born of loving softness, returning softness born of love. Each one filled joyously resounding, the softness of the eternal word. Each with sacred love cascading, each with love sacred overflowing, Each to cosmic love surrendering, Eternal lost in eternal love. Each child longs to meet its Mother, drowned in Her fulfilling love, Each one longs to peal with laughter, and pour his love into the flood. Each one pouring with reverence flowing, the glory that is of his birthright. Each in glory deep entwining drawing, the threads of eternal union tight. Each one brother to the other, sister to each others love, Proving in their close communion, the boundless limits of their Mother's love.

These Mantrikas are the mediators or liaison officers. They catch hold of these spirits and remove them from one man and put them onto some other person. So the first person We have two types of people in India is 'cured'. For example, there was a lady whose husband used to drink quite a lot. She conscious can cure problems of the left side.

And Nirmala Yoga 36 1983_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_V.pdf-page-38.txt The simple answer is that whatever you do with your mind like shouting, howling. jumping etc, can be done by the limited mind. So ane who is doing is some human agency, some human being and not the Divine, But you cannot make your Kundalini pulsate with your mind. The Divine, it it has to do something, MOTHER: They will go out of circulation. it must be extra-ordinary which human beings Sahaja Yoga rejects more than accepts. It is cannot do. To pulsate Kundalini is only possible for the Divine. It is a living force. Man makes that urge because to a seeker nothing is important except seeking. QUESTION : What about the people who are good people, not seekers, but who have got realisation but don't seem to see the signifi- cance of Sahaja yoga ? a judgement going on. Such people will go out of realisation. You can talk to them of things-dead things. Man can do dead actions. realisation, give them bandhans etc. for, they But a living force cannot be activated.

But some butter particles are left behind. If they do not stick to the larger lump of butter they are Divine does something which you cannot You cannot make the cool breezes flow from your hand, So, if you go beyond the mind it has to be something extraordinary, thrown away with butter-milk. So, those who something different. The limited and the do not come to Sahaja Yoga and are not upto unlimited are two different dimensions. This is the secret of your Mother's Mayā, that I live on unlimited and do unlimited things. That is how I create Maya. You can know me only through knowing your vibratory awareness. If you put your hand on the head of someone nobody can make you shake. So the Divine force is something that human beings cannot The question is that the psychologists say do through their mind. I repeat, you cannot that mind is limited, i.e. whatever the mind pulsate the Kundalini. It is a living force and does is limited. Whatever action we perform human being cannot create or generate life. is done through mind only and this mind has They cannot make the pupil dilate when the Kundalini goes up.

Then, A Letter from Canada Dear Brothers and Sisters, There was a time a few years ago when I, and many others, believed that in the light of the world's social, economic and political situation we were surely doomed. Very few advocated recovery and enlightenment for it appeared that we were in the cenre of an irreversible worldwide crisis. These were the days before I knew I was a seeker (not a quru shopper but rather a knowledge hound). Those were days of sadness, disappointment and general skepticism. I felt as though the Universal unknown entity had led me down the garden path and I didn't know where to turn. I prayed continually to the "collective" to help me and show me the way, one thought always remained in my mind. However, I knew that before this life time was out I would learn the secret to it "alI". All this occurred through the years 1971-1978. I know now that my prayers were being answered. I know, also, that these were not only my personal formative years but also the formative years of Sahaja Yoga and the beginning of the reversal of all adharmic direction. Most of us have experienced this mysterious guidance from our holy Mother and we do feel fortunate to have been blessed this way. She is so wonderful! A very beautiful thing about our Divine Mother's love is that that She has ena bled us to rise above all the nonsense of the Maya to experience the truth and reality; the love and the bliss that is heaven on earth. Although this is astounding by itself, it is also quite amazing to realize that we have only begun and that the possibilities are virtually inconceivable at this point ! We can now say with absolute joy, faith and authority that yes, there is hope, there is a great light at the end of the tunnel. Things will change and improve, we will all become one again and the absolute peace and love will once again be restored. Very soon we will be thriving within the supreme radiance of our Divine Mother's grace. The world will never look Back again !

JAI MATAJI A disciple The Visage of Salvation *Here is free prospect wide, Faust is the piece of the German literature which should be read by all Sahaja Yogis. The soul up-bearing. Goethe's Doctor Faust was the archetype of There women-figures glide, Heavenwards faring. With them the heavenly Queen, the modern seeker. He was so sure that nothing, short of the Absolute, could quench his thirst that he made a pact with Mephisto- pheles, the Devil, prince of the seducers. "If Majesty tender, any wordly temptation can bind me, then my soul will belong to you." In wreath of stars is seen, Clear in her splendour.

Now may every pulse of good Seek to serve before thy face, Virgin, Queen of Motherhood, Keep us, Goddess, in thy grace." In gentle crowd, Tasting heaven's ether. At her feet kneeling. By praising this Holy Face of the Mother, Goethe, unconsciously, or, perhaps, consci- ously?-- brought at Her Lotus Feet the hom- mage of those many talents that She, as Saraswati, had bestowed upon him.
