 Editorial In the 12th Chapter of the Gita Lord Krishna has explained which of the devotees are dear to Him:- अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूताना निर्ममो निरहङ्कारः समदुःखसुखः क्षमी । सन्तुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढ़निश्चयः । मय्यपितमनोव्रुद्धिय्यों मद्भक्तः समे प्रियः । मंत्रः करूण एव च । Adveshtä sarva bhhotänäm maitrah karuna eva cha i Nirmamo Nirhankärah sama dukkha Sukhah kshamee t Santushtah satatam Yogi yatāmā drudha Nishchayah i Mayyarpita mano buddhiryo madbhaktah same priyah "He, who is free from hate or malice towards all living beings and is friendly and compas- sionate towards them all, has no attachments or egoism and is forgiving by nature ; to him pleasure and pain are alike. He is ever-contented, steady in meditation and having subdued his sense-organs is self-controlled and possessed of firm conviction, has completely surrendered his mind and intellect to Me, such a devotee is dear to Me." Having no malice and being friendly and compassionate to all is one of the most difficult achievements for ardinary people. It may be possible for one to cultivate the former with great determination and constant practice of reminding oneself of this mentally accepted attitude but the latter is extremely difficult. However, it is not so, for Sahaja Yogis: The first is the precursor to the second. Developing one's ability to truly enjoy the collectivity would perhaps help. It is not enough to be merely in the group of Sahaja Yogis in order to be in the collectivity. A person carrying with him his own attachments and identifications even amidst Sahaja Yogis is in reality outside the collectivity. It should be possible to forget one's own indi- viduality. Pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, love and hatred arise from the individuality. the product of one's ego. Accepting the incoveniences in order to accomodate others, accepting and following others' view point if correct, would help balancing a rightsided and individualistic person. Nirmala Yoga

 It is, therefore, necessary to mingle freely among Sahaja Yogis, participate in all collective activities and merge one's own attention in the collective attention of the group, One has to learn to und arstand and tolerate others and do whatever little is possible to help and please them without feeling any incovenience and adjusting with collective ideas. Gradually extending the bond of love and strengthening it and further extending it to all the Sahaja Yogis and becoming a part of Mother's universal love enveloping entire mankind and the totality. One is in the collectivity in the state of thoughtless awareness. The Spirit would manifest through the person established in the thoughtless awareness and relate with the Spirit of other persons, Attachment and ego have no place in one's relations. Forgiveness, compassion, sweet manners come out spontaneously. Shri Mataji has said at one place that looking at a person in thoughtlessness would make him also thoughtless. A person who is completely united with the Atma can understand the Atma of others, for he has experienced the oneness, the universality of the Atma and is always in the Atmabhāv. Shri Jnaneshwar has described this stage which can be called as the highest stage of collectivity in these words,.. 'हे विश्वाची मजे घर । ऐशी मति जयचि स्थिर ।। "He Vishwachi Maze Ghar Aishi mati jayächi sthir" His buddhi (the intellect) does not even slightly deviate from the idea that the whole universe is his home. Contentment becomes the nature of such a person, his chitta being ever united with the Atma does not get identified with any external object of sense pleasure. He does not desire anything else except the Paramätmä and has surrendered his mind and intellect (the budhi) to the Paramātmä. He has no worry about his life and other wordly affairs being aware that these are being looked after by the Supreme. Keeping attention on the lotus feet of Sakshat Shri Atmā Paramātmā Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi is, fully being in the essence of collectivity, at the hightest stage of evolution. Shri Mataji has granted to us the highest place, let us make our utmost to evolve and deserve it and stabilize at it completely. 2. Nirmala Yoga

 Her Holiness SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI COMPLETE DEDICATION THE ONLY WAY (Cowley Manor Seminar, 31-7-82) Today 1 am going to say something, this I should have said much earlier. this is the first time I'm saying this to you- that you have to dedicate yourself completely to me; not to Sahaja Yoga. but to me'. t Sahaja Yoga is just one of my aspects. As today I told you, that it is necessary that you have to recognise me. And: that recognition is fixed, that condition is fixed. I Leaving everything, you have to dedicate. cannot change it. As Christ has already said, that "Anything against me will be tolerated, ascend any further. Without questioning, will be forgiven, but anything against the Holy Ghost will not be". It's a very big war- ning. Perhaps people don't realize what it means. Of course none of you are against me, that's very true. After all you are my childern, I love you very much and you love me. That's only the warning that Christ has people ask me, that once we have got realisa- given you. But one must think why we are not progressing so fast, as we should have.

It's nowhere written that She is fond of better, who dress better, who live better, who have better surroundings : but Her devotees.

 Her Holiness Shri Mataji Every Sahaja Yogi Has to become A Guru Guru Nanak's Birthday. Nirmala Palace London, 1st November, 1982. This falis on the day of famous great full Religion by giving them money, many were moon, it is called as Sharada Indu, that's the taking to Islam. As a result the Hindus name of the Goddess also-SHARADA INDU: started hating the muslims and a big hatred developed among Muslims and Hindus. and-of That's how, in those circumstances where there was a quarrel going on between the the moon on this autumn season. This is the biggest moon, not in England, but in India Course -that day the moon is giving the greatest followers of MOHAMMAD and followers of light, and it's such a great thing that GURU NANAKA was born on such a day. As you know in India people celebrate birthdays according to dates of the moon, called as tithi, not as the dates we have here accor- ding to the sun. Hinduism, MOHAMMAD himself took his birth on this earth, though he had decided not to take any more births, he thought that it would solve the problem. Although, this incarnation is such that it never dies. Even if they leave the body, they are always around. And they are the ones who perform lots of This great personality was born in Punjab miracles when any ofher incarnation comes where people were unaware of God's ways. He was always bothered about the Dharma in all his lives, because as you know he was the PRIMAL MASTER, and the Primal Master is always placed in looking after our Void, in sustaining us, and giving us a model of an ideal master. And he always took birth either in the most difficult places like hills and dales and mountains, or they took places-which are symbolically he came on this earth not to even more difficult thing,-among the people who were horrid, and who needed their help. as MOHAMMAD did or say MOSES did, and So in india, that time somehow Punjab was regarded as the place where people did not SOCRATES-which followed into a religion. respect God or traditional Hindu idols, or you can say the statues that were regarded as the create understanding, to create unity betwaeen vibrating ones. But they worshipped money religions. This was a very big step for Sahaja (even now) and they worshipped power. And Yoga. After that as you know, he was born as at that time there was a King who was again-God knows where-no one knows on this earth. They help support and guide the seekers to go to the incarnations. So, to celebrate his birthday on such a is also a myth, because he never died. He is eternally living. They never grow and they date never die, But his birth is important, because propogate any particular type of the vaid before that ABRAHAM, LAO TSE, or But he came to create anmity-we can say, to where he was born, but he appeared as very anxious to convert people to Islamic Nirmala Yoga 12

 SHIRDI SAI NATH. He t00 said the same day you forget these things. It is very serious matter, one has to understand. You have got your realization through Sahaja Yoga. Now you have become Sahaja Yogis. But still I would say you are not full Sahaja Yogis. thing, that to talk ill of any religion is a sin. But these efforts are quite lost. Because the people who were Islamic at that time. or those who were Hindus, are now very great fanatics. So instead of them coming closer because every Sahaja Yogi has to be a Guru. and loving each other they have become fanatics. Though we find that Islam is all you are Yogis because ynu got your reali- spreading so fast Sikhism is spreading very fast too. In America there is a horrible guru he has started to spread Sikhism. He's con- verting all the white skinned people into doing, about all the problems of Kundalini, Sikhs. They are growing their hair, and they how to cure them. Everything about it was are also growing their beard, and wearing a karā (er) and all those required at the time of GURU Gobind Singh. people, who are twice-born, who are born by When the war had started they had to wear all these things, which was important. Because that's a very important point and which John war had started and to protect Hinduism or Hindus from the invasion of the Muslims- by the flesh. Those who are born by the flesh the fanaticism of the Muslims-they took to this kind of a military stuff. Actually if you Spirit, that's how you are twice born. And believe in God-nothing can be killed. But I when you know all about the Spirit and the think that Guru Gobind thought that he had Kundalini then you are a Sahaja Yogi. But to take it. Otherwise he is not a Sahaja Yogi. First of sation. But Yogis are of no use, you have to be Sahaja Yogis. So you were told about all the chakras, every thing that you are told to you. Now you became, with that. a different type of a race, a different type of five things that were the Spirit, not by the flesh. Remember that has said. That you are born by the Spirit not are in flesh. But if you are born by the unless and until you become Guru, you are not a full Sahaja Yogi. In all these prophetic religions, if you see, all the prophets who have spread all the religions, they were always attacked so badly that the Spirit is described as a t (Kala), as that they had to take to weapons. Even in Islam they had to take to weapons to protect Guru is described as the full moon-purnima- themselves. Now when these people took Guru Purnimā. Guru is the full moon, it's not to weapons they had some discipline put on just a phase. So from one phase you have the people. Without the discipline nothing is possible. And very strict discipline was there for the Sikhs. Now today's Sikhs are no gether, and you have ro cross the 16 stages to So to begin with, we must understand a phase of Moon, one phase of moon. But a to go to the stage where you become complete Guru. 16 phases there are alto- more Sikhs, thay are just outside, and inside they are not. I would not describe all the We have to become extremely objective strictness and discipline they had to through. But every disciple has to go through Because we have to become Gurus, no doubt. a very severe disciplining of himself if he Now you cannot just say that, Mother you has to become the Guru. There is no doubt give us a tape and we'll learn by heart and become the Guru. Now how do we do it? go about it. How do we become the Guru? about it. we'll go on to another person saying blah It is not that only somebody like Me blah blah blah blah.

 them that this is our Mother, and She's like this and like that. But they will say alright She may be, but what about you, Sir ? most difficult thing for western people; because the matter is sitting on their Spirit: First the Spirit has to come-first phase-at least the Spirit has to be there. If you have to be the Spirit then the matter of moon has to be covered with that light. In the first phase we have to master Our body. Now Sahaja Yoga has a 'very big res- ponsibility. which I don't think people under- stand. I wish they could listen to me very intensely and understand it. So far if you see, Gurus remained Gurus and no dis iples So what do we do to master our body ? became Gurus. They were still regarded as disciples of a Guru, whether it was fake or anything. They never became Gurus them- must know all the crooks who try to master selves, So there was no need for them to grow, they had to take the name of their Guru alright. Christ and Mohammad Sähab had his own disciples. that we have to respect our body. This is the Nānaka had his own disciples, Shirdi Sai Nath first principle of respecting our body. Means had his own disciples. None of them became indulgence is sinful to the body, because Gurus. But now it is in your lot, sorry to indulgence gives you a body which is no good: say, that you have to become the Gurus. a privilege, actually. It's a very great privilege that you can master it. If I do not respect to become the Guru. And to become the Guru, Yyou, I cannot master you. So to master the we must learn what we have to do. This body first of all respect your body. And to also sometimes becomes just a lecture. I respect your body, you must look after your think so. Because I've already told you on body very well. But no indulgence. That First of all we must see that what are the things that drain out our bodily mastery. We us. So I have to first face my body. That first disciples, and foremost thing in Sahaja Yoga we learn his It's First of all you must respect your body so doesn't mean that you go and stand in the mud or rain for hours together or get exposed, to make your body absolutely sort of a abode for all the diseases and colds and coughs and things like that so your Mother suffers cleaning are the 10 attain- ments we have to have. Today all these 16 stages are to be seen, how we have to grow into a Guru. First is, we have complete discipline put your vishuddhi ! It's like a horse whose neck on ourselves. Mr Nick is attacked by everyone, No. you by not giving it diseases. Laziness is against it. attack yourself. You become Mr Nick now. You have to make this body subservient to is against your body. Lazy people who are not you,-that is the first mastery. The mastery bothered to dress up properly, to cover them- is that my body can sleep anywhere, it can selves up properly, look after their body prope- starve itself, it can live under any circums- rly, put oil into different screws that they have, tances, it dare not grudge.

This body is to be mastered. Even if you read 'Ashtänga temple of God. And now you have become Yoga' first thing is mastery over the body, they the temple but if the temple is dirty, is sick, say. So after realisation the first thing you is unimpressive, is like a stick, or like a have to do is master this body, and is the balloon, nobody is going to come near it.

On this full moon day one has to realize as Guru. Because normally people who came to a Guru in those days were really. As the moon starts growing the activity starts. really great seskers. They would hang themselves upside down, just to please the Guru, for months together. So that was a very different quality people-but one or two.

 Actually you have to discipline yourself, down, sing Bhajans, this, that, let us do it. if you have to be the Gurus. It's like going to Should we? You have to 'get up' at 12 o'clock, a college, when you are left to yourself, it is you have to go to bed till 12 o'clock. Get up "you, who has to discipline yourself, nobody at 12 o'clock. You see the first half of the has to tell you that you do this and do that. night. one must sleep always, it's better. That's the measure to wake you up. In India it is the other way around. If you tell some- alright ? So the first half of the night you all body that you have to wake up at 5, the person have to sleep, anytime. You can sleep about 8 who has told you will be awakened at 4 o o'clock or 9 o'clock if you want to. But tha! clock himself, the one who has told; so thathe should not be important, what time you sleep, doesn't get up to wake him up. Did you follow you have to get up at 12 o'clock in the morn- me? And the whole house will be awakened ing, or say 'after 12. at 4 o'clock so that they can take up the duty from the person who has to get awakened. But the fellow who has to awaken might not sleep the whole night. It is just the other way round, the other extreme of it. Say it 1 am there, one night I sleep there. If I get up at one o'clock I find all of them sitting and meditating,-in the passage, up to the bathroom about Caxton Hall ! Alright so you can sleep everywhere. They have not gone home, not taken food, nothing. Just meditating, taking vibrations, corracting. Iam sleeping inside. In the night I want to go to the bathroom, I just cannot go because they are all meditating, your body much. You must devise a method Nobody is sleeping, nobody is sleeping, So it by which your body does 'see" that it has to is the other way around. So to you people get up at 12 o'clock, Better keep it that time. let us do one day. That you must have one day fasting, one day keeping, one awake Which day should it be? Let's see. Second half of the night is the better part, Shri Krishna was born in the night about 12 o'clock. Nänaka was born 12 o'clock in the night. All the Gurus mostly took their birth at 12 o'clock in the night. To celebrate that, we must have one day when we do not sleep after 12. But then what in the day time of Saturday or of Sunday. Sunday afternoon you can sleep.No, no, no that won't be alright. If you make any compensation then you are not tortuiing What do you think ? Altight. They will never-take it from me-they will not: You see work is not important what is important is your Spirit, your mastery, Work, in any case A day when there is no film!

So to earn more money or to make more money is not important at all in Sahaja realize this, many people also perhaps do not Yoga. Most important thing is to be the realize that you have come on this earth to be Spirit. For that whetever is to be done has the Spirit and not to be workers of human to be done.

It's We have found out our heart, let us become not for you, you must have your self respect, the heart". What is the need to worry about why to borrow anybody's car? It's not to be these things ?

I tell you they will think they respect. save used to give me some money before, I said, "No I don't need just now, there's no need" They said I have no place to keep; there is teaching how to be self respecting. no trust, nothing, how are we to do it ? They continued like this till about, I think, in, 74, when I went back we thought of starting might have been created I don't know why an ashram, because you people were all coming there. So I said alright,-now you kind of a thing has come, but it is so. Very have to give me money, all the Sahaja Yogis can give me money, whatever they have prevalent. But you people have to be other way saved. And you'll be amazed everyone came out with 1000 rupees, 'every one' of them- whether he was a labourer or-every one of going to die, I can tell you this much. You all them-1000 rupees minimum. Up to 21000. In 3 years' time they had saved-because people should not be allowed to stay in Sahaja they thought it is our responsibility to save money for Sahaja Yoga. Tomorrow if vwe have to have an ashram how are we going to have ? person can spoil the whole. Only people But we still indulge into things. So this is who want to be Gurus have to stay in the what is the Gurupada (,). Like in the war, might be-the atmosphere that-"I'm above everything, don't care for others." May have been; I don't know why this round: 'Others are first and then yourself. With your self respect. Doesn't matter, nobody is must have self respect; and such mediocre Yoga,-at least in the ashram, because it brings a bad name to all Sahaja Yoga. One ashram. It's not going to be made a convenie- nce for anyone. So today is such a great day of Guru Nānaka's birthday, and we have to see his own life, how he spent his own life, how he lived and in what conditions he managed. So the first thing is to look after, disci- plining yourself, feeling responsible for Sahaja Yoga. But the other way around is that, "We are going to look after ourselves, we have to be- come this, we have to grow, we haveto do it. Then it's just the other way round, everything worksout, I don't have to tellyou.

But you meet them, you'll find they are AVADHUTAS and when they talk you feel a great sage is bless you ? This is the point one should ask talking, and the way they behave-all the time you see their behaviour and everything is so great. We need people of that calibre today, thing, it just goes as a big roaring, I don't because that is the situation of all nations. You know if the frequency has reached your ears who are busy making cheap things, or who to save the whole world. And the maximum of my life, blood and toil andeverything, sweat, are left; before that, I hope, we establish an occupy it I can tell you, you cannot get any more blessings of God.

This is the age of mediocres. In the politics are mediocres, useless people. You go in the economics there are mediocres, everywhere there are mediocres. In Sahaja Yoga we have to have extra-brilliant, Spirit. The Spirit that is the Guru, and the extra-sacrificing, extra-dynamic, extra-com- passionate people, otherwise Sahaja Yoga is your emotions, your intellect-everything is a not going to work out.

 Two great powers are combined in JesUs Mätā; was addressed as "Yesu". Even today, Christ. The first power is that of Shri Ganesha, we notice that in northern Indian somebody who is recognised as his original power; and named "Yeshu" is not addressed as such but the other is that of Shri Kärttikeya. Because of this, the incarnation of Jesus Christ is of Yashoda' came the word, Yeshu' and then complete "Brahman Tattva" or 'Aumkār'. Shri further became the word"Jesu" and finally Krishna, He being the father of Jesus Christ, bestowed a number of booons on Jesus Christ prior to his birth. One of these boons was that, "You (Jesus Christ) would dwell on a plane higher than that of mine. be explained to mean, that while the plane of period when Jesus Christ lived on the Earth, Shri Krishna is the Vishuddhi Chakra, located at the base of our neck, the plane of Jesus is haw the seekers should know the Virta- Agnya Chakra, which is located at the junction of the optic thalamus (pineal and pitutary Jesus Christ was the Goddess Mahā Lakshmi, alands). The second boon granted by Shri herself. Mother Mary is none other than the Krishna was that, "You (Christ) would be the support of the whole universe". The third boon was, that, "You would be the first to re- ceive one-sixteenth part of all the offerings made to Me in Pooja". In this way, after bestowing a number of boons, Shri Krishna permitted Shri Jesus Christ to incarnate on the earth. You would understand these thir.gs destruction. These powers have their centres better, if you read "Mārkandéya Purāna". Shri located around the cranium of our head. Mārkandėya, the author of the Purana has When the incarnation of Kalki takes place, all beautifully explained a number of such subtler these eleven powers perform the work of dest- points. as "Jésu". It is therefore, clear that from the name "Jesus Christ'.

The Mother of Goddess Mahã Lakshmi. She is the Adi Shakti the Primordial Mother. Therefore, Jesus Christ used to address his Mother as the "Holy Ghost". Jesus Christ possesses all powers of Ekädasha Rudras, that is eleven powers of ruction. Out of these eleven powers one is In the same Purana, there is a araphic that of Shri Hanumāna, the other i of Shri Bhairava. In the Bible, these two powers are description of Shri Maha Vishnu. If you would listen to this description while in medi- named as Saint Gabriel and Saint Michael res- tation, you vwould notice that the description pectively. After Self-realization in Sahaja Yoga one can awaken these powers by addressing them in Sanskrit, Marathi or even in English. Now, if you study the etimology of the The Nadi on our right side, which is known as word.

To overcome such troubles, we advise our left side and and manifests the power of any trouble or constriction on the Ida Nadi. any person after Self-realızation in Sahaja Yoga. The purport why I am telling you all this, is to impress upon you that it is absurd to qua- re! against yourselves after grouping as Hindus or Muslims or Christians. If you could see the principle behind all this, you would realise that all these saints are like many flowers on the same tree of religion and are connected with each other because of the one and the every such person to forgive one and all. Forgiveness is thus a very powerful weapon we have received from Jesus Christ. It enables one to get rid of troubles caused by others. I have told you earlier that Jesus Christ possessed a number of powers and that He was endowed with the powers of 'Ekūdasha Rudras'. Then how is it that He was crucified and could not save Himself from this dreadful event? Jesus Christ, with His several powers, could have completely annihilated His oppon- ents in a moment. His Mother, Mary, was none else but Adi Shakti, the Primordial Mother Herself. She also could not bear the atrocities on Her son. And yet it happened. Perhaps God desired to stage a drama. AReally speaking, Jesus Christ was beyond happiness same power. Perhaps, you would be surprised to know that in Sahaja Yoga, the awakening of the Kundalini very much depends on the condition of the Agnyã Chakra of the seeker. In the present age, many persons are found with highly inflated ego (Ahamkāra). That is so, because most of them lead an extremely - egocentric life. tie attitude, that man falls from his true religion. It is on account of the egois- or sorrow and he had to enact the drama in perfect and faultless manner. were those who crucified him !

 An Outline for Understanding "The Deities" The Father Aspect 1. Before a cosmic cycle (the Creation) starts, the ultimate reality is undifferentiated as Parabrahma; it is infinity. abstract. without manifestation The Creation starts when this reality separates into two : Shri Sadashiva, the Primordial Father and Shri Adi Shakti, the Pri- mordial Mother. "HE is the Eternal Witness: "SHE“ is His power, the Haly Ghost. Shri Vishnu incarnated as Shri Rāma some ago in India. Shri Rüma was the son of a King and educated as the heir to the throne.

One most remarkable aspect of Shri Krishna is that He is Yogesh- wara, the Lord of Yoga, absolutely detached 2. Then, before our own material universe, the world of the deities is created; the three main deities are Shri Shiva, Shri Vishnu and Shri from wordly involvements while performing Brahmadeva. Of these three, Shri Shiva never incarnates. He is the manifestation of pure spiritual existence. His wife (shakti or power) is Shri Părvati. Shri Vishnu is the guide of action where man acts as a detached instru- evolution and the one who incarnates to trigger the next step in evolution. His wife is interferences of the ego's own desires.

An incarnation can come in complete form (Avatar) or as a limited manifestation and Shri Shiva integrates to manitest yet another (Anshavatär). The most famous and most recent avatårs of Shri Vishnu are Shri Räma (Adi Guru). He is the one who incarnates very and Shri Krishna.

All the Deities are aspects of the one God. The incarnations are those aspects at work in universal history. They all control some specific element of theinner mechanism: a chakra or nidi. They are eternally living and acting to support the great work of Sahaja Yoga. By mastering the art of mantras, and, above all, by awakening the devotion of the heart, the Sahaja Yogi can enter into contact the energy of the avoid extremes.

 Mantras There are two types of Mantrās : (1) the Affirmation, and (2) the Poem of Praise. We use them in different circumstances. The Affirmation When a chakra has been affected, and if the residing deity of the chakra recedes, the qualities of that chakra do not maintain themselves without constant attention and nourish- ment. The Affirmation is used to bring our attention back to the qualities so the deity returns, making these qualities return and act spontaneously within us. The Affirmations Centre Shri Matāji, make me the innocence. (1) Moolädhāra (2) Swadishthân Shri Mätāji, make me the creative knowledge. Shri Mătăji, make me satisfied.

The Poem of Praise These verses are said in Sanskrit and praise the residing deities now in the Being of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, thus giving sustenance and energy to those centres. The qualities of the Deities manifest themselves in your everyday life spontaneously, bringing you towards an integration of all the qualities of the Divine. Sanskrit is used, for when the Kundalini rises, She makes vibrations. These vibrations are sounds (the language of the Gads). Sanskrit derives its sounds from those vibrations.

 WE BOW TO THEE, SHRI MATAJI Beyand time is the Spirit, That, You've helped us become, For now we know, that we are, And what it is you've done. We bow to Thee, Shri Mataji, The voice of God who speaks, From far beyond duality. You guide the one who seeks. Evolving thus, through many lives, Fighting what must be fought, With Your help, the seeker wins. The victory he's sought. In winning, he surrenders, Desires that come ta him, He withdraws all his senses, In Yoga goes within. There he finds, in Love with God, Heart's peace and joy, indeed, Becomes the bloom and the fruit. You planted, as a seed. JAI SHRI MATAJI To Rakhi Brother In your Presence. Dear brother so sweet, Dear brother, accept this ever endless love, for which I am, but a channel, As a sister, allow me, to lighten your burdens, express this joy, creative and prospering, So solid, sublime, yet frank, So Powerful, lovely and soothing, This eternal Shakti swells This Kundalini elevates, and dances over my head, So overjoyed is She to be, in company of thee. Strengthened by my inner strength, bowing to the Purity. To be greeted by your smiling face, Reflecting Spirit, Enlightened Soul, Ignites a love, which few can know, And we pray, Desiring to share, to serve spreading fragrant smell. We shall break the superficial bond, Collectively get united. As our Vishuddhis blossom, Man, in his evolution softens, May our love for one another broaden, gaining subtler ways of exploring, This Sahaja family love, of brother and sister, With subtler joys start flowing With Shri Mataji's blessings, Through us it grow, This love, so humbly exists Divinity created. Deep, within, from lifetime's longing It satisfies, and quenches, a thirst for innocence and sweetness as tender as a new seed planted. Jai Shri Mataji Nirmala Yoga 44

"He, who is free from hate or malice towards all living beings and is friendly and compas-

pleasure and pain are alike. He is ever-contented, steady in meditation and having subdued
his sense-organs is self-controlled and possessed of firm conviction, has completely
surrendered his mind and intellect to Me, such a devotee is dear to Me."
Having no malice and being friendly and compassionate to all is one of the most difficult
achievements for ardinary people. It may be possible for one to cultivate the former with
great determination and constant practice of reminding oneself of this mentally accepted
attitude but the latter is extremely difficult. However, it is not so, for Sahaja Yogis: The
first is the precursor to the second. Developing one's ability to truly enjoy the collectivity
would perhaps help. It is not enough to be merely in the group of Sahaja Yogis in order to
be in the collectivity.
A person carrying with him his own attachments and identifications even amidst Sahaja
Yogis is in reality outside the collectivity. It should be possible to forget one's own indi-
viduality. Pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, love and hatred arise from the individuality.
the product of one's ego. Accepting the incoveniences in order to accomodate others,
accepting and following others' view point if correct, would help balancing a rightsided and
individualistic person.
Nirmala Yoga

 It is, therefore, necessary to mingle freely among Sahaja Yogis, participate in all collective
activities and merge one's own attention in the collective attention of the group, One has to learn
to und arstand and tolerate others and do whatever little is possible to help and please them
without feeling any incovenience and adjusting with collective ideas. Gradually extending the
bond of love and strengthening it and further extending it to all the Sahaja Yogis and
becoming a part of Mother's universal love enveloping entire mankind and the totality.
One is in the collectivity in the state of thoughtless awareness. The Spirit would manifest
through the person established in the thoughtless awareness and relate with the Spirit of other
persons, Attachment and ego have no place in one's relations. Forgiveness, compassion, sweet
manners come out spontaneously. Shri Mataji has said at one place that looking at a person
in thoughtlessness would make him also thoughtless. A person who is completely united
with the Atma can understand the Atma of others, for he has experienced the oneness, the
universality of the Atma and is always in the Atmabhāv. Shri Jnaneshwar has described this
stage which can be called as the highest stage of collectivity in these words,..
'हे विश्वाची मजे घर । ऐशी मति जयचि स्थिर ।।
"He Vishwachi Maze Ghar Aishi mati jayächi sthir" His buddhi (the intellect) does not even
slightly deviate from the idea that the whole universe is his home.
Contentment becomes the nature of such a person, his chitta being ever united with the
Atma does not get identified with any external object of sense pleasure. He does not desire
anything else except the Paramätmä and has surrendered his mind and intellect (the budhi)
to the Paramātmä. He has no worry about his life and other wordly affairs being aware that
these are being looked after by the Supreme.
Keeping attention on the lotus feet of Sakshat Shri Atmā Paramātmā Shri Adi Shakti
Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi is, fully being in the essence of collectivity, at the hightest stage of
evolution. Shri Mataji has granted to us the highest place, let us make our utmost to evolve
and deserve it and stabilize at it completely.

You have pulled your children from the myre, Snatched them from the jaws of living death,
You have cleansed them, You have fed them when they were starving
And given them the water of eternal Ljfe.
How great is your Love
You have elevated your beggar-children, You have clothed them with light
You have brought them into the house of the Father,
And seated them at His table. How great is your Love...
You have illumined your children's hearts, You have taught them to look upon their
Brothers and sisters with love, You have purified their minds
And dispelled their fears. How great is your Love.
You have joined all your children, As pearls on one thread in the great cosmic dance
And the universe marvels at this sight of sights.

 Mantras
There are two types of Mantrās : (1) the Affirmation, and (2) the Poem of Praise. We
use them in different circumstances.
The Affirmation
When a chakra has been affected, and if the residing deity of the chakra recedes, the
qualities of that chakra do not maintain themselves without constant attention and nourish-
ment.
The Affirmation is used to bring our attention back to the qualities so the deity returns,
making these qualities return and act spontaneously within us.

The Poem of Praise
These verses are said in Sanskrit and praise the residing deities now in the Being
of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, thus giving sustenance and energy to those centres. The qualities
of the Deities manifest themselves in your everyday life spontaneously, bringing you towards
an integration of all the qualities of the Divine.
Sanskrit is used, for when the Kundalini rises, She makes vibrations. These vibrations
are sounds (the language of the Gads). Sanskrit derives its sounds from those vibrations.

 WE BOW TO THEE, SHRI MATAJI
Beyand time is the Spirit,
That, You've helped us become,
For now we know, that we are,
And what it is you've done.
We bow to Thee, Shri Mataji,
The voice of God who speaks,
From far beyond duality.
You guide the one who seeks.
Evolving thus, through many lives,
Fighting what must be fought,
With Your help, the seeker wins.
The victory he's sought.
In winning, he surrenders,
Desires that come ta him,
He withdraws all his senses,
In Yoga goes within.
There he finds, in Love with God,
Heart's peace and joy, indeed,
Becomes the bloom and the fruit.
You planted, as a seed.
JAI SHRI MATAJI
To Rakhi Brother
In your Presence.
Dear brother so sweet,
Dear brother, accept this ever endless love,
for which I am, but a channel,
As a sister, allow me,
to lighten your burdens,
express this joy, creative and prospering,
So solid, sublime, yet frank,
So Powerful, lovely and soothing,
This eternal Shakti swells
This Kundalini elevates,
and dances over my head,
So overjoyed is She to be,
in company of thee.
Strengthened by my inner strength,
bowing to the Purity.
To be greeted by your smiling face,
Reflecting Spirit,
Enlightened Soul,
Ignites a love, which few can know,
And we pray,
Desiring to share, to serve
spreading fragrant smell.
We shall break the superficial bond,
Collectively get united.
As our Vishuddhis blossom,
Man, in his evolution softens,
May our love for one another broaden,
gaining subtler ways of exploring,
This Sahaja family love,
of brother and sister,
With subtler joys start flowing
With Shri Mataji's blessings,
Through us it grow,
This love, so humbly exists
Divinity created.
Deep, within,
from lifetime's longing
It satisfies, and quenches,
a thirst for innocence and sweetness
as tender as a new seed planted.
Jai Shri Mataji
