 Editorial In the last issue, under this column, 2 verses from the twellth chapter of the Geatá were considered, wherein the Lord has described the qualities that make ā devotee dear to Him. It is desired to discuss another two verses from the same chapter यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः अनपेक्षः सर्वारम्भपरित्यागी यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः।॥ १६॥ प्रियः ॥१५ ॥। 119211 गतव्यथः ।। शुचिदंक्ष उदासीनो Yasmanno dvijaté loko lokānna dvijaté cha yah Harsha-marsha bhayodvé-gair mukto yah sa cha mé priyah. 15 Anapékshah shuchirdakshah udaseeno gatavyathah Savā-rambha parityāges yo madbhaktah sa mé priyah. 16 "He who is not the cause of annoyance to the world and who never feels offended with the world, who is free from delight and anger, perturbation and fear, he is dear to me. He who craves for nothing, is pure within and without, is alert and uneffected by any distraction and who renounces all undertakings at the very beginning, that devotee is dear to me. Interaction with the world causes conflicts of interests, which generate emotional reactions. Disregarding others' interests in furtherence of one's own, makes the person a source of annoyance to the world. with the world. In the opposite case, the person is offended Succass in achieving what is desired brings delight, whereas the possibility of losing the possession causes fear. Aggressiveness may emanate from the fear of losing what ane is already possessing, or from the possibility of others acquiring what one likes to have. The delight of getting a desired object can be followed by the fear of losing it. Interests originate from attachments. Attachments are for the objects that give pleasure to sense-organs, which in turn are supposed to satisfy the desires arising in the mind. The mind functions in conjunction with the organs of knowledge. Desires arise as thoughts, from the impressions of gross pleasures enjoyed in the past which are stored up in the left-side. Enjoying

 the satisfaction of fulfilment of, a desire, becomes the further cause of another desire and the mind is the enjoyer. Desires should not be suppressed as that would cause overactivity of right side. At the same time enslavement to them has to be avoided. One should therefore evolve into the state of the desireless mind. Catches on the chakras may activate past impressions into desires, as also identification of the chitta with an external object of gross pleasure would awaken corresponding dorment impressions. It appears that the process may cause attention to project out and vice versa. No desires would arise in the still or calm mind which is actually the state of balance of sympathetic N.S., which is also the state of thoughtless awareness and wherein the chakras would be cleared of all catches. In this condition, one rises above all the feelings of cravings, fear, perturbation, delight, sorrow etc. Sustaining and growing in this state is of utmost importance, wherein, with the attention fixed within, one is the witness to all happenings and has no distractions This is the state of purity and would last so long as one's attention is not disturbed. Disturbances may come from within due to movement of attention to left or right sympathetic or from outside. Also there are distractions (as described by Pätänjali), which would obstruct the meditation, such as mental laziness, doubt, lethargy, false perceptions, clinging to sense enjoyments, non-attain- ment or non-retention of concentration ete. We thank our beloved Mother for teaching us various Sahaja remedies to overcome these obstructions. Nevertheless, alertness to apply the Sahaja methods is essential. It is therefore important to fix the goal viz. to improve the state of meditation and prolong it as much as possible. Thereafter, every act can be viewed as conducive or otherwise to the attainment of the goal and efforts can be made to get over temptations for comfort and sense enjoyment, the movements of attention can be watched, to quieten the complaining mind etc. Outsida the state of maditation alertness is required for correcting the imbalance of sympathetic, clearing the chakras, and for negating every desire and thought, or every object to which the attention is attracted, as false and non-existent. Altertness is necessary to avoid mental aberrations, such as anger, dasire for sensual-pleasure, attachment, temptations. conceit, jealousy-known Nirmala Yoga, No. 20, March 84 pp. 04.) One may have inherited these to some extent from previous life and hence these would form a . These reside in the company of mind and ego and are strong when the attention identifies itself with the body. The mind which may become calm in the meditation, may get disturbed as various thoughts and desires come to surface. One should therefore discriminate, through the intellect (the buddhi) that only the Atman is real and rest everything including body mind, ego, intellect is unreal, and the reality becomes manifest only in the state of thought- less awareness. However in the moment of complacency identifications take place unnoticed. For every such mistake, it is advisable, to pray for forgiveness of Mother and for giving strength and alertness to control the attention. It is felt that attention could be engaged in maintaining the thoughtless awareness. The feeling of doership of actions would induce reactions corresponding to expecta- tions. Negating the results at the very beginning of an action would save one from its possible effects. It has therefore been suggested that all undertakings should be renounced at the very beginning. This could also be achieved by dedicating them to God and also through a firm conviction regarding one's role-which should be of an instrument employed as 'shad-ripus' (six enemies).

 by the Supreme. Bread-winners for families should know that God-Almighty is competent to feed any number of mouths and they should feel humbly thankful to Him for entrusting them with the job: Even in Sahaja Yoga, expectations do arise in the minds, unnoticed, about possible appreciation by Mother of good vibratory condition: or good remarks from other Sahaja Yogis for a job done. In such moments the buddhi (intellect) should remind that good vibratory condition is Mother's gift and that She is the real doer of the job, and anybody else could also have been employed by Her. Hence the prayer: कायन वाचा मनसेंद्रियोर्वा । बुद्धयात्मना वा प्रकृति स्वभावात ।। करोमि यद्यत सकलं परस्म्य । आदि शक्रय इति समपंथामि । Käyéna vāchā manaséndriyorvä Budh yatmana vă prakrti svabhävät Karomi yadyat sakalam parasmai Adi shaktyai iti samarpayümi Whatever I do with body, speech, mind, and other senses knowingly or unknowing by or through nature, directly or indirectly, I dedicate it to Adi Shakti. Let us all tell ourselves that every moment that goes outside the thoughtless awareness, with attention involved in the Avidya (ignorance) is away from the Lotus Feet of Adi-Shakti. According to Adi Shankarãchärya, the proximate worship of Mother's Feet is not possible for the fickle-minded. But Mother has granted that to us out of limitless love and compassion for us. for which sages of ancient yore had to perform so much penance. Let us now perform our penance in the form of meditating upon Her Lotus feet which the Param Parameshwari having Her infinite forms beyond human understanding has made very easy for Lis by assuming the all loving and Compassionate form of our Mother Shri Mataji. FROM SAMARTH RAMADASA'S DASBODHA * If you think that you are the doer of works, you will be put to great trouble. Instead, if you really believe that Rama (God) alone is the doer of all works, you will be successful in your undertakings, become powerful and win fame. Meditate and invoke the Grace of Raghunātha (God) and directly experience that the Divine Power removes all obstacles, fulfilling all your wants * None can change the complexion of one's body for it is innate. But if you wish to lead the spiritual life, you shall have to cultivate the moral values. Fill the box of life with the pearls of experience of blessings of God, and when you joyfully offer this to HIM, you go on deriving undiminishing Divine Bliss. Nirmala Yoga 3.

 SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI VAITARNA Sahaja Yoga Works only by keeping the Mother Pleased 18th January 1983 So now we are coming to the end of our first half tour. Now we have to look back upon ourselves and try to find out what have and they think that they have become primi- tive: You do not become primitive by any means, because you are so overdeveloped that you cannot become primitive. So by just doing something mentally, we do not become we achieved out of this. We must understand that. Sahaja Yoga is not done through brain activities. Like many people think, that if you just tell yourself: "You have to be like this", it will work out. If you have to, all the time, inform yourself you might feel that by knowing some of the that "Oh, you must get rid of a particular Aratis (arat) and things by heart. you will problem", it will be alright. Or some people achieve weight, is not true also, because that that. Now this mental level can go even fur- ther, in a subtler way, into people. Some of think that if they tell somebody that: "This is wrong with you and you should get wWeil, it thing within you, then they become a 'Man- will be alright. It is not 30. because Sahaja Yoga does not work on mental level. It works of all you must achieve a certain standard to on spiritual level, which is a much higher have that power to create the Mantras, Also level, than the mental level. is also just words. But if that is an awakened tra and then you can work it outL But first when you say some 'ärati, it is not necessarily So what you have to do, is to understand. possible that it will work out. Let us face the how to correct your chakras, and you must things as they are and not to be conditioned understand, how to work out your machines. by anything else. You have to achieve Perhaps people stil live on mental level and certain depth within yourself to 'even" enligh- try to solve problems on mental level. And that's why all the problems start coming up. Now if you have a problem with any chakras or there is anything catching, or you find that tions, minimum of minimum. If you have cert- there is samething wrong, no use working it ain chakras catching, then try to improve your on any other level, but spiritual level. Some people believe that if they have dressed up like something, or if they outwardly behave photograph which is going to work it out, like something, they become that. That is nothing else,-or if / am there. But once if not true. Like we have hippies in the west ten the mantra, First of all you should have clear-cut vibra- photograph: with all the due respect to the photograph.

But first of all people donot under- stand that you have to work it through your heart and not through your brain. When we have to work out things through our brain, we try to develop our brain, isn't it, by memoris- nment, then you can use mantras otherwise also, it will help you. But first of all your heart must be clear. I have found out in general, there are two chakras, overwhelmingly, not working alright in most of the western people. First is the heart. That means, heart is not clear, that heart is not clean, that in the heart, you still are a small person; in the heart you have not placed ing. by practicing something, teaching our your Mother. You have to purify your heart, by looking at the photograph and putting all way, We try to train our brain. loving feelings about your Mother, understan- ding Her work and putting Her into your heart. If the heart is not clear, then every- brain how to think, how to go this way, that Now we have to train our heart in Sahaja Yoga, and to train our heart in Sahaja Yoga one has to know first of all that it is ernveloped either by thing has no meaning, because it is a dark ego or by super ego. The limbic area actually heart which is doing al these things. The heart has to be clean, absolutely surtendered and must try to put Me before everything else. I can tell you because we are all Sahaja Yogis. is only mental projection, and you will feel I cannot say this to people who are not Saha- ja Yogis. represents the heart. And if there is ego, heart will always be 'so called heart. It will not be the real heart that will be working but it that I am doing it from my heart. That's not so. SO. Now then supposing what should we do, if we have weak heart. You might say, you should try to sort of tell. yourseif that, that's not good and this is not good, this and that and all kinds of mental suggestions or auto Now we alweys try to relate Sahaja Yoga from our own terms, not from the terms that belong to God. God is what He is. He cannot change Himself: you have to change. So what- ever we think about God, we want to put on that. For example if someone thinks that he tries to be nice or good to me, or if he is close to me, 'so called' and if he thinks that he is organizing better or he is doing this work or that work or anything else like that, where he feels that he is important because he is doing have to just work it out wvith your hands. this job or that job, then one must know that Your hands are working it out and not your all this is mental. Actually you are doing brain. So use your hands, and the methods nothing. Whenever you try to do something, of Sahaja Yoga. you really confuse yourself and confuse Me also. We have seen yesterday's example.1 was sure that they had to go next day, but in the water everyday. That's important. nobody would listen to me and they rushed Every' morning you 'must' do your meditation, suggestions or this the way psychiatrists and all that give you suggestions. That's again mental. So that's not the way it is going to work out. We must understand that, what we have to do is to raise the left side and put it to the right side. There is no other way. You Now every one must have a regular sitting away and they found that the tickets were bought for the next day. This knowledge been with Mother, alright. This exposure is comes to you, if you are clear hearted. As alright. You came, you saw. how Indians yesterday, 1 said, you better not come: I did because on mental level, we feel, we have pIp are and how they are light on their feet and 51 Nirmala Yoga

 how they are good for Sahaja Yoga. But after chakras. Now the left sided people should seeing all that, you have to know that Sahaja Yoga is to be worked out, is not to be thought to correct their left side, Also in food, such out. You just cannot think about it. Whatever people should take more to nitrogenous, you may try to do through your thought, you means, proteins and foods like that. They cannot achieve any results in Sahaja Yoga. should take more proteins. You have to use your hands, you have to use your feet. you have to soak your feet in the water, because water is the ocean. All these five chakras or say six chakras which are.-I say five because the one is the moolädhära to it carefully. Pure desire That means all chakra, which is the first, and the seventh and other desires are impure. There is only one the topmost is the brain. So in-between five pure desire and that is to be one with the chakras, which are there, are to be handled divine, one with the Brahma, one with God. fully, with the idea that they are basically That's the 'only pure desire. All other desires made of matter, and these five elements con- stitute the body of these chakras. Now these achieve that desire as the main thing. If you chakras, if they are to be corrected, we have train your mind in that fashion then you can to correct them by taking out all the problems develop pure desire, so all other desires will of these chakras into the elements from which negate, gradually. Alright. Now this desire, to they have come. For example a person, who be one with the divine, is the purest and the is a very right sided person, so he has to give highest. and to achieve that, what have we to a balance by the left side. Of course raising do? TO ACHIEVE THAT YOU HAVE TO with a hand is alright, but what about the KEEP YOUR MOTHER PLEASED, VERY element? Right sided person has all the ele- SIMPLE. Adishankaracharya has said that ments which give heat, we can say the light, you don't bother about anything, just keep we can say the fire. So for people, who are right sided the light is not going to help simple person: not try to be cunning with much. Like if you put the light before the Me or clever with Me. I know everyona photograph and thase who are ego oriented well. So try to tell yourself that. "I should people, if you just use the light, it is not say things, 1 should behave in a manner gaing to work out. So what is going to that will please my Mother". Supposing work out is the mother-earth and the water you are in Sahaja Yoga, and you element which is cooling. Even ice is very help- doing wrong things, it is not going to please ful to people who are right sided. So all cool- Me at a!l.

That's extremely shy about showing off yourself. Do how you treat your material side of your use again the 'deepa-is the light. or the fire Now as far as Sahaja Yoga is concerned, the basic thing is Kundalini, and the Kundalini as I told you is the pure desire.

So that kind of a person is no very difficult. So you keep your heart clean towards your Mother. Whatever I do for you, is just a blessing, always a blessing for you. pood Secondly you should not be tense with Whatever / do for you is a blessing, remember me. There is no need to be tense. If t find that. something wrong with you, if I scold you also. it is for your good. If I say a good word it is for your good. My Sahaja Yoga works caught up with most of you is your NABHI this way. I have no malice against anyone in the whole word, no malice at all, and no anger for anyone in this world. I have nathing but COMPASSION. But in compa- ssion sometimes I same compassion I have to speak in a very just there to please each other, specially to compassionate manner. Now another chakra, which is horribly Chakra, suggesting that you are still very very materialistic. In small smali things also we are materialistic. It becomes subtler and subtler and subtler. So try to understand that matter is not so important. Matter is have to scold and in the please your Mother. It has no other value So both ways it helps you. It helps you both way s. So thank whatsoever. So you should not try to be God that you have somebody, who will materialistic in the sense that, you see, for a correct you at the right time, for your good. little thing. you have to do this, for a little because you are saints, and you have come you have to do that. Nothing is important on this earth to establish God's kingdom. if it works out, well and good and if it does not work out well and good. So you see Nabhi chakra is very individualistic, very That's what you have to do. And if you are the people who are not respected, who are not sensible, who haven't got the dignity, who individualistic . It is everybody's personal behave in a cheapish way, how can people thing. If your desire is only upto Lakshmi point, that you want to have more money, or accept you ? you care for: little things. hare and there, So this Heart Chakra is to be first lopked without any spiritual value to it, then your after, that with your heart, desire that you will keep your Mother pleased. Even if I an angry with you, don't feel bad about it. That's ane of the signs that Sahaja Yoga has not yet developed. If 1 scold you, it is be- tattva, what you have to do is to use all cause there is something in you, which has to go away and which I must scold, so it will in such way that you please Me. That is very go away. So accept it just as a correcting important. So you should not do something point that is good for you. Some sort of a thorn is withinyou, which has to be taken out by another thorn and Mother has taken it out. ONCE you start understanding the compas- sion of your Mother you will not mind My all-like dishevelled hair-at all.

When you ascend into Sahaja Yoga, we After crossing the seventh day, after have to be very careful with our intelligence, crossing the seventh chakra-that is the real because intelligence has capacity to cheat ascent in your spiritual ascent. What are we itself. And it will cheat us, nobody else. It is against us, against our own powers. So we have to be alert and see for ourselves. So as soon as you enter onto the eighth step you to do on the eighth one? It's so Sahaja that today should be Ash- tami, because that is the day the Goddess should start seeing at yourself. killed so many evil doers, and demons and Räkshasas. She did it on Her own, alone. Now these evil forces are manifesting in human beings. They have spread out. They intelligence comes forward to render its are within us. So we all have to fight those services-freely. "Oh ! I am my own Guru, forces within us. The war is within ourselves, why should is not without. First when you ascend the I listen to any leader? Why should I listen seventh chakra, when you are on the eighth to anyone who is elder, who understands step, you have to remember first you have to Sahaja Yoga better ? I am my own Guru! fight those forces within ourselves. Now, for example ,when I say the mantra is "I am my own Guru", immediately the I listen to anyone? Why should It is the other way. Straightforward thing is: I am my own Guru, I have to correct myself. I have to use this instrument of light to correct myself. You are all very intelligent people; bit too intelligent sometimes. So whatever I say you may twist it, and may try to use it in your own intelligence. But it is not in your well-being. It is not for your hita' (fgn), for your good. You want to use it because you think you are Now the intelligence cheats again: "Mother said that if you feel vibrations then it's afright: and I'm feeling the vibrations, 10 Nirmala Yoga

 I'm alright"Again cheating. cheating yourself I What is the reason? You are always do it in such a way that it is absolute- ly Asahaja. (non-Sahaja) The reason is very interesting. I've seen that ordinary human beings-in the West suffering from left-side problems. So I told specially-are vary much against themselves: him that you have to light a lamp and then Like, I'll give you an example: You tell some- body that if you have to go to the station. had a big drum of oil in the house.-He did take this road and you'l go straight to the station. But immediately he'll say, "But the problem is that how can back is towards the station. If I walk straight burnt all the curtains ! When 1 came back I'll go in the opposite direction". Such stupid after eight days, things! But they say it, all the time. There was a fellow in my house who was take out all your bådhās every night. And we not eat any food, he did not sleep. He burnt all that oil in one week's time. He made all go straight ? My the blankets black, all the walls black, and I said what have you been doing 7-And he looked like He said "I was driving out the bhoots". I said now this is the limit! So he said. "Mother you told me".I said, "Thank God you did not take a beacon light to burn the whole housel" a real bhoot! Now if you tell them that you can sell your car better if you go to Germany, for example; but they say, "There's a problem, may be the Germans may start their war again. May be there is Hitler waiting for me, to kill me".-Any fantastic problem, that you can't think of, can come out of this modern with you. Whenever tell you one thing, I brain. And you are amazed how this man is against himself all the time! So I have to be very careful when I talk w this tell you the other side immediately, because I don't want-ifI tell you this side, you go to the other side, to the other extreme. So all this kind of this crazy madness, stupidness The whole built-up is like that because before realization you are absolutely disinte- grated. Your heart is against your brain, and your brain is against your liver. This is the reason they have three types of wives; one about discipline, I must tell you "Discipline is a love affair, one is a physical life and one has to be Sahaja". is a wife. They are so disintegrated that mean 7- That is, first of all face yourself". every cell can have a wife or can have a vwhat I find, the western mind, because of husband. The nose will want another thing. its ego cannot discipline itself. If you tell and the hands will do something else and tongue will say something else. I've seen. And today when I'm going to talk to you Now what does that them you have to discipline, they think I'm creating a military out of you. In a way it 'is' a fight. It is a fight with yourself. But how will you fight if you have no discipline? When I met the western people, I had to consult many dictionaries to why they behave in such a funny manner. They are all the time against themselves. Now if I say, you have to get up in the morning, take your bath, and sit down for meditation; in a Sahaja way you have to tell yourself plainly, "Come along, now you have So after realization this habit becomes even subtler. So now they use Sahaja Yoga to get up in the morning". In a Sahaja way; to act against Sahaja Yoga itself. Sahaja is the way you turn your wheals in your car. simple, is straight forward.. But they don't want to have it in that way. They must So what you do, is to, I think, the whole Nirmala Yoga 11

You don't need 24 hours to meditate. You 'must' have jobs, all of you. Regular jobs. work every day. There is no day for us when we can rest, really.

 Her Holiness Shri Mataji 9 February, 1983, Jangpura, New Delhi SICKNESS AND IT'S CURE I wanted first of all to tell you something types of relations they establish with God. That is called as Bhakti Relationship, we can about the sickness of the people which perhaps I have not elaborately told you about, say, and they dwell upon it, and all the how to cure people and how people suffer time weep and cry and say," O God, when from different sicknesses. will I meet you." Such people are the ones who take domination from others, sulfer, sacrifice and lead a life of great suffering. But in their expression, in their achieving God, they start doing Bhakti. And they think, As we are now on the principle of the being, we must understand that sickness also comes if there is something wrong in the principle that builds up the human beings. that through Bhakti they will come to God. So now basically there are two principles But with Bhakti, God comes to them. Because which effect the body, and the third principle of their Bhakti, God comes to them and He effects the evolution. incarnates for the Bhaktas, the ones who cry for God, He incarnates. So there is So the first principle of the left sided "iccha Shakti, (T af) or the desire power nothing wrong with those people. is if in danger we develop lots of diseases due to lethargic organs.

Those people And in proteins, they are so weak that they who live in too much darkness, or in the might suffer from all lethargic muscles, in past, or in a sly way, in a hidden way, who every way. So you can see that these people are introverts, we can say in short, who spend suffer from cold, they sufter from diarrhoeas, their life mostly in a very closed waters, or live with people who are extremely cautious the food and the whole food will pass out as and afraid of others, all people who do not diarrhoea.

Tuberculosis comes like horses, worse than horses also. And that is why a person should not take to too much of anything, you should keep to the from the left side. Now those who are strict vegetarians. centre. who do not eat any even garlic, or don't eat even onions and all that are very vulnerable to left sided business. On top of that if they Due to overactive organs, they develop a are going to a Guru who is left sided, they very bad heart, which is overactive. In which are even worse. So one need not lead an abnormal life. One has to be a normal In lungs he develops asthma. In his intes- person, eating right proportion of proteins, tines, he develops constipation, he develops carbohydrates and fats. So this is one side a very-very bad liver and a very unhealthy of Sahaja Yoga in which you see that left- sided people have to be very-very careful and not to just assert themselves on that side. All such people have over-active organs. the heart pumps fast, palpitations take place. skin. The skin is extremely sallow. And such a person is very-very quarrelsome and aggre- ssive.

 A person who leads a very ascetic life that such people may have very bad time with and of martyrdom: for example, many their children, may have bad time with their government servants think that they are parents, and may have very bad time with their doing a very great work of martyrdom for wives, At the level of right nâbhi they will have their country. But such people also become problems of digestion. They may have money. so conscious of that, that they are hot bricks. You just can't go near them. They are extre- mely hot tempered. Or any person who leads a life of asceticism of a severe type like oriented.

Even the laft sids talk to them.

At the level of the brain they become ego- Paralysis is person can get it or the right side person can get it. But mainly people get the paralysis on the right side. It comes from left side but effects the right side of the body. But they look very So there are two types of paralysis. One intelligent, but they are actually stupid people. Because thev do all kinds of stupid Is the paralysis caused by too much of ego another by super ego. Those who have lethargic temperament develop clots in their blood, and low blood pressure. And these clots cause the paralysis also on the left- hand side. The another one on the righit hand side is caused by the damage to the brain things. They do such stupid things that any- body who is wise can see that they have no sense of proportion in doing anything that is against the whole. Such people are vulnerable to many diseases, like as I said, the heart, liver, cirrho- by the over development of Mr.Ego within sis of the liver. Also diabetes, leukaemia you. kidney trouble, high blood pressure, uterus troubles. Such people can become barren women, they may not have children at all, such women cannot have children.

You can drinking and being with women and all that. They can be ruined not only by money, but also by their very bad health. That is how we can summarise cn the whole, that the diseases of the physical side are caused by these too imbalances. Apart from that we have the mental troubles with people.

 You will be surprised, if I tell the Indians, none on others.-That they will try to save.

For: themselves. But for husband or me. They start looking this side, others they have no money. Even where it is that side. If somebody can pay, very good. their due, they will try to save money. They It is most surprising. Even in countries like Sweden and Switzerland. Switzerland is an- other. The greatest miserly country you could ever think of is Switzerland. Europeans are 'extremely" miserly people. Most surprising keep back their money. But on themselves they will buy the best wines, they will buy will not pay where it is due. Which we see among so many people, even in Sahaja Yoga. That they have to pay something which is their due, for something it is. how miserly they are. And Indians in which is very important, but they will not pay. They want even free sometimes the books, sometimes-whatever it is, for which people just come for food free. I mean, am I suppo- are paying. For example this pandal is raised now. It needs money. Who is going to pay food, pay for your taxis. Tomorrow, you for it?

And they wanted me to go on with it all the time. Imagine I For your Self-Realisation, I have to pay. I travelled on my own, I had my own things done. They would not even pay for what is done. I mean, it is required that proper thing, they have no money, most the people who are organising this program- me should put-up the pandal. I am supposed to give you the realisation free, but not to pay for your pandal. Tomorrow, you will say "Mother, also pay for us for coming here and going back, our fare." 1 am not surprised, you see. Such people are 'extremely miserly. Every pie they pay, you see, they think that we must get the money back. And if anything is done extra for them, that is not counted. Only thing, because whatever you can get, you should get. But while giving they are zero. And these money oriented people are horrifyingly surprisingly are rich. One cannot understand how are they rich. Because there is people, but never have they taken a single pie nothing like generosity in them, no priorities, nor proprieties, as to where you have to spend the money, And there is no self- respect about it. There's no self-respect. It is very surprising. Delhi are, Sahaja Yogis, are very funny. I must say. I'was surprised to hear that people sed to pay for your food also? Pay for your It is absurd. All this comes from ego, which does not allow you to see the propriety of things. It is very surprising. They will spend money on themselves, buy this, buy that. But to do the surprising thing is. Every time, I come, 1 find Mr. Verma or somebody tells me that, "Look at this Mother, this is the money they have given." So every time I have to pay out of my pocket to fill-up the gap, all these things. Every time. May be this year also. Now I have told him this time, I am going to give you my Kară.

This is the minimum you can pay. We have to run an Ashram, we have to run these things. you want to So European Sahaja Yogis also I have to tell them. That they have to behave them- selves a little better. This is not the way to have a place where to go. How can that be? behave towards money. It is a shameful way I just can not believe it ! With Sahaja Yoga if that I have heard that European Sahaja Yogis, you do not even have this much of generosity, some of them, are behaving in a very shame- it is better you give up Sahaja Yoga. Better ful way. It is not correct. It is not a good give up. You are not the one who can go on thing. with Sahaja Yoga. So this is the right sided stupidity.

That's what God wanted; that we nutrition and the leaves are not getting so should really have the blessings of Nature. much of sunshine so there should be less surface exposed. The same nutrition is taken up again and again in the Spring you find again the beautiful leaves breaking through. It's so beautifully worked out, the whole his Infrastructure which he can ruin, The situation, the whole Universe is so beautifully problem is only the Man can ruin that; not made and the Infrastructure is so made that only that but also the outerstructure which is it receives all the blessings of the Divine the atmosphere. You send one man to without any difficulty. It rains and the Nature forest and it's all right; if you send two receives it. If you have ever been to a forest, hundred tigers to a forest it's all right but if that you could think of, you'll be amazed of you send ten men to a forest: finished! all the how clean it is; the fragrance of that place is beauty is finished. so clean-nothing stagnates. How it opera- tes? How it works out through sunshine, through rain, through wind. That You are the Monarchs of this Universe. So everything stands in attention for your needs. Why Man on his own goes mad with his extreme behaviour? He doesn't think of On one side, the sense oaf beauty only human beings have got. The sense of under- standing cleanliness only human beings have got. So they are the only enjoyers, they are created, which is a problem. The Infrastructure the only enjoyers of all; they are supposed to In this whole Universe now Man is Nirmala Yoga 29

So it proves When you look at a tree-today Cherry that the joy that you get out of material Blossom everywhere-and the thought starts things also are not satisfying because at the coming: How much they must have paid for this tree?, How many years it must have enjoy. They cannot enjoy anything though taken? All these mundane type of questions they are supposed to enjoy everything: come into your mind. But supposing by any chance if no thoughts come into your mind, anjoy. But there's something lacking in them you just see, witness, could witness, then by which they cannot enjoy anything and the jay that they are trying to give you what is that quality? what is that state? would express, would be complete within yourself. state at which human beings are, they cannot because they only have the capacity to Because the connection for extracting joy has to ba with the Spirit. That state we have not yet achieved; always we have thoughts, thoughts which are all artificial. Thoughts that make you some sort of an imaginary person or if you don't go to the subtler side, a very gross person. It's not Reality, imagination is not Reality and also the grossness is not. Like a poat might say that what a flower is there, emits so much beauty Spirit is the connection which emits joy. There's no other way to enjoy a life without remorse. To be connected first with Spirit is the only way that we enjoy because that doesn't have double side. Like people go for, l'd say, for a ball-room dancing. They are supposed to be enjoying. They come home and a big tioaht starts God knows what they've enjoyed and that and all sort of stories they may have Tight built up about a flower and a person who is for. The enjoyment of life is only possible it not imaginary might say: ""1 don't know how much it will cost, how to put it down, what connection to the Spirit is only possible if you is the use of this, how it can be economic " Sprout into that: you become the Spirit as Poetry of course, touches subtler side of Christ has said in simple words that you have life no doubt Thank God Hampstead have got many great poets; but still it is imaginary simple, but how? You are to be baptizad, but for other people. What you look at and you think may not be true for others. For example: a person like Blake wrote all poetry, nobody have got the right to baptize. Now to any understood him. To understand him also you intelligent man doesn't appeal that way, can have to have Realization, otherwise you can't it be possible? Baptism, if it is a living process understand him at all. we could get connected to the Spirit and that to be born again. Very simple, looks very how? Say I go to a theosophical college or some sort of a college; they say: now you in which you have to get connected, con- nected with the Spirit then what do you do So, whatever is surrendered on gross level about it? That means you have to achieve a or on imaginary level by the nature cannot be enjoyad by human beings to its full extent. That connection has to be established. If Cannot be. We think so. Look at the economic laws, they are that "wants in cannot be twice-born by certifying yourself. general are not satiable," means that's not I've seen many people they said: "Mother, satisfying at all. I mean it says, it confesses. Today you vwant to have a car, then you want to have an aeroplane; alright you have an state of mind where you become the Spirit. that connection is not established then you I'm twice born". I said: "How do you say you are twice-born"? What is the certificate you have got of being twice-born? You Nirmala Yoga 30

 cannot just certify yourself. This is not a It's logical that life has no meaning without self certification. Supposing a dog says: "I'm a human being". Will you accept? No, I mean it can go about; and say that: "I am a human being". He doesn't become, it's a state, it's a quality which is in evolution- evolutionary which has to become a tortoise has to become a tortoise. She can't just say that "Ohl I am a tortoise, oh! I it, you see, You make a candle. you put a wick in that and do everything with it and when there is darkness you say: what are we to do now? Enlighten that light! It's so simple. The whole existence itself will have no meaning it we do not become the Spirit. We all have to become the Spirit, otherwise we are useless, we're good for nothing, our life has no mmeaning. has to be shown it's an quality. A fish am a tortoise", Now, when somebody says like that, I This is where human ego comes in; by could be another, hypocrite? Or could be what you call them false, fake guru, I could be like that myself, telling you big stories: could be possible, alright? Anybody could be like that. But why cheat yourself? It's the point Let anybody try to cheat you but you don't cheat yourself! saying something you do not beccme. And this is one of the basic things we must know: that we have to become, in actuality, in reality, we have to face up to it and not believing in something because it is said Anybody can say anything-what does it matter? Say what you like. What does You accept one simple point that you have to write a book? You take a it take to become the Spirit. In all humility, and that printer, you give him something to write; yau is one wish a Seeker should have. I've known can write any trash, any thing so called, He can write about God, this, that and talk big sermons, have big organizations but it's gentleman had a very bad Agnya centre and nothing of the kind. Even supposing you have some animals, like dogs especially, and now, you make them dress up like little babies, and who's written some books on the Third Eve. make them dance and in a circus you might and Fm going to operate and my third eye find them they've become a little bit like human beings, you know? They might carry letters or may bring your children from the after böoks on this". I said, "Really? And school. I mean they can do lots of such things but will you call them human belnas operating here if you get the third eye" and by any chance? I'm not saying the difference is so much but one has to understand one itself was ruined. I said what's the fellow, Не Seekers, they try all kinds of things. Like a I asked him: "What have you been doing?" He said, "There's a Rampa Shampa man is going to come out " I said: "What? Who's told you that? He said,"There are books how dare this fellow do that thing by he was doing all kinds of nonsensical things believing in that man and this, centre thing: that we have not yet become the Spirit. what is he doing himself, you see? That's the best part of it. See?, God has given us not In all humility let us accept this fact, that only brains but wisdom. God has given us become that Spirit. Now, wisdom and we should use that wisdom and supposing that is the only source of joy, judge these people on these lines to see if that is your real property within you, if what they're telling Us. Most of them are that is the thing you have to achieve, ruining your Infrastructure. I would not care for anyone of them if they were just smug- we have to THE supposing for that you have become a human being, then must you not all do that? gling money or making you poor, doesn't Nirmala Yoga 31

 matter. Alright? if they want money give them money, finished. There are many smugglers, thugs and robbers and swindlers. All sorts of people are in this world, see? There are a thousand and one words to descibe them but woven such a net that to get out of it is not There's only one way to get out. Once as a child I had read a story about some birds. A net was cast end so possible. birds theie were caught in the they are spoiling your Infrastructure and when net. And they discovered that: "we are they spoil that Infrastructure, then this happen- misled, misguided." ing of Kundalini awakening takes time, that's grains and they were misguided. So, how the problem. People develop diseases, they develop emotional problems, mental problems, It's an impossibility. One person cannot get all kinds of problems with all these things. They saw some to get out of the net was impossible for them. out, one person tries to get out others get more entangled and he gets even worse. So, what to do? The whole said: "Why not we all fly out with the net itself? And then with our beaks we'll cut out this net and we'll be Actually, you must know that if you are a Seeker and if you seek, you have to be- come absolutely a normal person.

Anybody who thinks he.can paint his hair or wear a funny dress, walk about, he'll achieve God. I don't know how to tell them that this is not the way. Or anybody who thinks that he behaves in a ble.

Any one person, even does all these shows, will go to God, is not endowed with powers like Christ, comes on the prayers very loudly in the street and possible, this Earth is crucified, finished. Three years; then was crucified. Nobody understood him. So we have to have many more to get out of this net which is created through the efforts of the pseudo-people, through our stupidity, Only way is to keep your wisdom intact: your steadfast faith that you are the Spirit and God is compassion and He will make you the Spirit. This is the only thing that is needed in a Seeker. But without wisdom we can say, our wrong doings, misguidances, when you try anyone of these things, then all kinds of proslems which are against you have to go a very round circle to come to the same point but completely bruised, wounded and sometimes absolutely sick to evolution. One has to become a whole group to lift up the society higher so that you can really get rid of the shackles of this bondage.

 His Mother, who is pure Spirit, is transformed why this is necessary: into that which is the finest, the pure Aum- kara or vibrations. This transfiguration is the basic theme of Blake, and here is the "All that can be annihilated must be an- nihilated That the Children of Jerusalem may be saved from slavery". passage: He later describes what we would define "Thou hearest the Nightingale begin the Song of Spring. The Lark sitting upon his earthy bed, just as the morn as the conditioning and false concepts of the t Super Ego and Ego etc. as; "This is a false Body, an Incrustation over my Immortal Spirit, A Selfhood which must be put off and annihiliated away."

Consequently we need only know inner joy, despite the possibility of external change and transfor- mation all around. how endless is the compassion of Shri Mataji, transformed into instruments and servants On the back of the last plate of "Milton" was written in pencil by the poeti "Father and Mother. I return now from flames of fire tried and pure and white". The Father and Mother teferred to must be Lord Sadashiva and Shri Adi Shakti. In the last plate of "Milton", the Virgin says to Milton: In the second verse of the hymn we call Jerusalem', (actually the opening lines of the poem "Milton,) are the following lines: "I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem "Thou goest to Eternal Death and all must go with thee". So let us the Sahaja Yogis offer this prayer to Shri Mataji that we too may return to Her and rise above Blake's "Furnaces of aftliction", "the dreadful thunde:ings" and "the mortal and perishing delights" and all the other rich and evocative descriptions of In England's green and pleasant land." (The writer begs forgiveness if the next sentence is not an exact quotation of our Divine Mother). After hearing the hymn, Shri Mataji laughed gently & said to us: "How can I put swords in your hands if the world today as Shri Mataji has given your hands are shaking? That was three years ago now, and some of us present were still very unsteady at that time. Perhaps now we are beginning to see a little of the titanic battle that our Beloved Mother is fighting for Bhairava sakshat. Shri Adi Shakti Shri Mataji us.

 Shri Mataji's advice Try to understand thus: As you enter youth, leaving behind the childhood, you have the interests of young age ie. your I told you, in Sahaja Yoga. how you go into the state of thoughtless awareness. After the unison with the Spirit (Tadatmya) one can attain the stage of vicinity with God service, business, family etc; you take interest (Samipya) and the God realization (Salokya). But on achieving the unity with the Spirit, person's interest itself changes. and ail other childhood only in these interests drop off. old experiences fade away and your attention goes towards new ex- periences. Or try to understand this way Just by achieving the state of unison with Say, a person is not interested in music, and somehow he has become interested-he is the Spirit, with it's experience, a person does not wish to go into the state of Salokya and interested in classical music-then he is not Samipya. That means, when vibrations start going to enjoy any other music, let there be lowing into your hands and when you feel any concert of non-classical music. other's Kundalini and can raise other's Kunda- Your condition in Sahaja Yoga should also be similar. As regards your ether habits and lini, your chitta (attention) goes towards watching other's Kundalini and understanding likings, the fact is that they were gradually your own. You want to be alert about your and intentionally cultivated and hence those chakras and understand other's chakras. interests are deeply imbibed in you. Sahaja Yoga has brought atout a complete trans- formation within you,-you have come into a state of new awareness, you can now feel If you look at the sky, you may see--even though there are clouds-you will see many types of Kundalinis. Because, now that your attention has gone to Kundalini, whatever the vibrations and other's Kundalini, you can you want to know about Kundalini, whatever give realization to many people, you have you want to see, whatever desires you have, cured many people, you have entered into these will be revealed to you. Your interest in Kundalini grows and all other interests a new power and you are charged with it. But in doing all this there is only one shortcoming, and that is "you have not made are lost.

As it is said, everyone must go to bathroom and clean oneself after getting up There, do yourself the bandhan and you are in the morning. Similarly, for Sahaja Yogis, it is extremely necessary to have foot-soaking treatment, at least for five minutes, before going to bed. However highly evalved you may be and you may not be getting caught-but it and surrender yourself to Him. On the night does not matter. You must do foot-soaking for at least five minutes, Even I take this treatment sometimes, (although it is not necessary for me) so that my Sahaja Yogis will also take to it.

Between 1750 and 1850 there were a series of prophecies of a Female Messiah This poem was written in 1841 by Goodwyn Barmby, the self-styled Pontiffarch, or leader, of the Communist Church, an obscure Christian sect which existed in Britain between 1841 and 1849. To place Barmby in context, he was of the generation after William Blake, and was at the end of an extraordinary period in British history. By Communist', Barmby meant commune-ist', emphasising the community of fellow-believers. A concept similar to our own "Collectivity, Barmby had an interesting concept, the 'equilibriated being'. He viewed the important issue facing humanity in his time (1840s) as beings "not of woman nor of man, but gentleness and of force" which he wished to see "united in every human individual, without relation to sex". Thus, to be a true communist or Socialist. of "the man must possess the woman-power as well as the man-power, and the woman must possess the manpower as well as the woman power. Both must be equilibriated beings", An interesting view of balance! His wife, Catherine, wrote: "We have the priest, wa therefore demand the priestess, the Woman teacher of the word, the woman apostle of God's lawl" This could merely have been a call for women Christian ministers. However, it could be a prophecy of out Divine Mother's Coming, as could the following comment by Goodwyn Barmby in a letter to a friend: "But the Free Woman who shall give the womanly tone to the entire globe is not yet manifested". The Barmbys were treated with contempt and derision by their contemporaries. After the collapse of their church in 1849, the Barmbys continued their Christian faith, though in a a less controversial manner. There have been many prophecies of a Female Messiah throughout history. This is just one. Perhaps others could be written about in the pages of Nirmala Yoga? For instance, the Joachite Reign of the Holy Ghost (Europe, 13th century AD). John Noyce, Brighton, (U.K.) Nirmala Yoga 48

In the last issue, under this column, 2 verses from the twellth chapter of the Geatá
were considered, wherein the Lord has described the qualities that make ā devotee dear to
Him. It is desired to discuss another two verses from the same chapter

"He who is not the cause of annoyance to the world and who never feels offended with
the world, who is free from delight and anger, perturbation and fear, he is dear to me.
He who craves for nothing, is pure within and without, is alert and uneffected by any
distraction and who renounces all undertakings at the very beginning, that devotee is
dear to me.
Interaction with the world causes conflicts of interests, which generate emotional
reactions. Disregarding others' interests in furtherence of one's own, makes the person
a source of annoyance to the world.

In the opposite case, the person is offended
Succass in achieving what is desired brings delight, whereas the
possibility of losing the possession causes fear. Aggressiveness may emanate from the fear
of losing what ane is already possessing, or from the possibility of others acquiring what one
likes to have. The delight of getting a desired object can be followed by the fear of
losing it.
Interests originate from attachments. Attachments are for the objects that give pleasure
to sense-organs, which in turn are supposed to satisfy the desires arising in the mind. The mind
functions in conjunction with the organs of knowledge. Desires arise as thoughts, from the
impressions of gross pleasures enjoyed in the past which are stored up in the left-side. Enjoying
 1985_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_I.pdf-page-3.txt 
 the satisfaction of fulfilment of, a desire, becomes the further cause of another desire and the
mind is the enjoyer. Desires should not be suppressed as that would cause overactivity of
right side. At the same time enslavement to them has to be avoided. One should
therefore evolve into the state of the desireless mind. Catches on the chakras may activate
past impressions into desires, as also identification of the chitta with an external object of
gross pleasure would awaken corresponding dorment impressions. It appears that the
process may cause attention to project out and vice versa.
No desires would arise in the still or calm mind which is actually the state of balance
of sympathetic N.S., which is also the state of thoughtless awareness and wherein the chakras
would be cleared of all catches. In this condition, one rises above all the feelings of cravings,
fear, perturbation, delight, sorrow etc.
Sustaining and growing in this state is of utmost importance, wherein, with the attention
fixed within, one is the witness to all happenings and has no distractions This is the state of
purity and would last so long as one's attention is not disturbed. Disturbances may come from
within due to movement of attention to left or right sympathetic or from outside. Also there
are distractions (as described by Pätänjali), which would obstruct the meditation, such as
mental laziness, doubt, lethargy, false perceptions, clinging to sense enjoyments, non-attain-
ment or non-retention of concentration ete. We thank our beloved Mother for teaching
us various Sahaja remedies to overcome these obstructions. Nevertheless, alertness
to apply the Sahaja methods is essential. It is therefore important to fix the goal viz. to
improve the state of meditation and prolong it as much as possible. Thereafter, every act
can be viewed as conducive or otherwise to the attainment of the goal and efforts can be
made to get over temptations for comfort and sense enjoyment, the movements of attention
can be watched, to quieten the complaining mind etc.
Outsida the state of maditation alertness is required for correcting the imbalance of
sympathetic, clearing the chakras, and for negating every desire and thought, or every object
to which the attention is attracted, as false and non-existent. Altertness is necessary to avoid
mental aberrations, such as anger, dasire for sensual-pleasure, attachment, temptations.

Nirmala Yoga, No. 20, March 84 pp. 04.) One may have inherited these to some
extent from previous life and hence these would form a . These
reside in the company of mind and ego and are strong when the attention identifies itself
with the body. The mind which may become calm in the meditation, may get disturbed as
various thoughts and desires come to surface. One should therefore discriminate, through
the intellect (the buddhi) that only the Atman is real and rest everything including body
mind, ego, intellect is unreal, and the reality becomes manifest only in the state of thought-
less awareness. However in the moment of complacency identifications take place unnoticed.
For every such mistake, it is advisable, to pray for forgiveness of Mother and for giving
strength and alertness to control the attention. It is felt that attention could be engaged in
maintaining the thoughtless awareness.
The feeling of doership of actions would induce reactions corresponding to expecta-
tions. Negating the results at the very beginning of an action would save one from its
possible effects. It has therefore been suggested that all undertakings should be renounced
at the very beginning. This could also be achieved by dedicating them to God and also
through a firm conviction regarding one's role-which should be of an instrument employed
as 'shad-ripus' (six enemies). (Please see Birthday Puja,

 by the Supreme. Bread-winners for families should know that God-Almighty is competent to
feed any number of mouths and they should feel humbly thankful to Him for entrusting
them with the job:
Even in Sahaja Yoga, expectations do arise in the minds, unnoticed, about possible
appreciation by Mother of good vibratory condition: or good remarks from other Sahaja
Yogis for a job done. In such moments the buddhi (intellect) should remind that good
vibratory condition is Mother's gift and that She is the real doer of the job, and anybody else
could also have been employed by Her. Hence the prayer:
कायन वाचा मनसेंद्रियोर्वा । बुद्धयात्मना वा प्रकृति स्वभावात ।।
करोमि यद्यत सकलं परस्म्य । आदि शक्रय इति समपंथामि ।
Käyéna vāchā manaséndriyorvä
Budh yatmana vă prakrti svabhävät
Karomi yadyat sakalam parasmai
Adi shaktyai iti samarpayümi
Whatever I do with body, speech, mind, and other senses knowingly or unknowing by
or through nature, directly or indirectly, I dedicate it to Adi Shakti.
Let us all tell ourselves that every moment that goes outside the thoughtless awareness,
with attention involved in the Avidya (ignorance) is away from the Lotus Feet of Adi-Shakti.
According to Adi Shankarãchärya, the proximate worship of Mother's Feet is not possible for
the fickle-minded. But Mother has granted that to us out of limitless love and compassion
for us. for which sages of ancient yore had to perform so much penance. Let us now
perform our penance in the form of meditating upon Her Lotus feet which the Param
Parameshwari having Her infinite forms beyond human understanding has made very easy for
Lis by assuming the all loving and Compassionate form of our Mother Shri Mataji.
FROM SAMARTH RAMADASA'S DASBODHA
* If you think that you are the doer of works, you will be put to great trouble. Instead,
if you really believe that Rama (God) alone is the doer of all works, you will be successful
in your undertakings, become powerful and win fame.
Meditate and invoke the Grace of Raghunātha (God) and directly experience that the
Divine Power removes all obstacles, fulfilling all your wants
* None can change the complexion of one's body for it is innate. But if you wish to
lead the spiritual life, you shall have to cultivate the moral values.
Fill the box of life with the pearls of experience of blessings of God, and when you
joyfully offer this to HIM, you go on deriving undiminishing Divine Bliss.

On the back of the last plate of "Milton"
was written in pencil by the poeti
"Father and Mother. I return now from
flames of fire tried and pure and white". The
Father and Mother teferred to must be Lord
Sadashiva and Shri Adi Shakti. In the last
plate of "Milton", the Virgin says to Milton:
In the second verse of the hymn we call
Jerusalem', (actually the opening lines of the
poem "Milton,) are the following lines:
"I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
"Thou goest to Eternal Death and all must
go with thee". So let us the Sahaja Yogis

"the mortal and perishing delights" and all

sentence is not an exact quotation of our
Divine Mother). After hearing the hymn, Shri
Mataji laughed gently & said to us:

Lives in Eternity's sunrise.

 THE WOMAN-POWER
Woman-Saviour now we muster
To await they advent sure,
In the cluster of thy lustre,
Come and leave the earth no more?
Then before thy gentle look,
Swords shall quail and warriors fail,
And the spear, a shepherd's crook,
Shall adorn the daisied dale.
Woman-power! Incarnate Love!
Human Goddess come and be,
If the Bridegroom's tears can move,
Bride unto Humanity.
Thou alone of all can Save us
Let us be what thou would have us!
Between 1750 and 1850 there were a series of prophecies of a Female Messiah
This poem was written in 1841 by Goodwyn Barmby, the self-styled Pontiffarch, or
leader, of the Communist Church, an obscure Christian sect which existed in Britain between
1841 and 1849. To place Barmby in context, he was of the generation after William Blake,
and was at the end of an extraordinary period in British history.
By Communist', Barmby meant commune-ist', emphasising the community of
fellow-believers. A concept similar to our own "Collectivity,
Barmby had an interesting concept, the 'equilibriated being'. He viewed the important
issue facing humanity in his time (1840s) as beings "not of woman nor of man, but
gentleness and of force" which he wished to see "united in every human individual,
without relation to sex". Thus, to be a true communist or Socialist.
of
"the man must possess the woman-power as well as the man-power, and the woman
must possess the manpower as well as the woman power. Both must be equilibriated
beings",
An interesting view of balance!
His wife, Catherine, wrote:
"We have the priest, wa therefore demand the priestess, the Woman teacher of the
word, the woman apostle of God's lawl"
This could merely have been a call for women Christian ministers. However, it could be a
prophecy of out Divine Mother's Coming, as could the following comment by Goodwyn
Barmby in a letter to a friend:
"But the Free Woman who shall give the womanly tone to the entire globe is not yet
manifested".
The Barmbys were treated with contempt and derision by their contemporaries. After the
collapse of their church in 1849, the Barmbys continued their Christian faith, though in a
a less controversial manner.
There have been many prophecies of a Female Messiah throughout history. This is just one.
Perhaps others could be written about in the pages of Nirmala Yoga? For instance, the
Joachite Reign of the Holy Ghost (Europe, 13th century AD).
