Dissolving Powers to Get Powers

 



DISSOLVING POWERS TO GET POWERS
Today is the day of the Gurus because [it] is the third day, the third Chakra of the Nabhi. [At] the same one we have the starting point of the Mahalakshmi. Mahalakshmi energy starts working after you have finished with the Lakshmi tattwa. If the Gurus are still busy with the Lakshmi tattwas, have no sense of sacrifice, have no sense of detachment they cannot be called as leaders.
The Mahalakshmi is the subtle form of our hankering, of our desires, is the subtlest, the epitome. Because first we search for power through physical, mental, emotional and ultimately we want to have spiritual powers also to impress others.
In Sahaja Yoga you come here to dissolve all your powers. You become so powerless that all the powers of God Almighty start working through you.
Supposing this instrument (pointing to the microphone She is talking into) has some powers I won’t be able to handle this. It would be going here, there and there. So to worship Mahalakshmi one has to remember that you must dissolve all your powers. That is the surrender that is what is ‘Islam’ as they call it. But these are all words for people.
Surrender is a very difficult thing to understand for human beings. They think “I can’t surrender.” What do you have to surrender, is nothing but your ego and your conditioning.
All these things I am telling you but if you learn them by heart like a parrot, you can repeat. That will have no influence on your followers. Unless and until you show in your own life that beauty, that composure, that care, that concern, that love, nobody is going to listen to a parrot. The meaning has to come from the practices not from the percepts. This is what Sahaja Yoga [is], which is very different from any other spiritual announcements.

Growing Upwards towards the Roots

 



GROWING UPWARDS TOWARDS THE ROOTS
Ganpatipule has a special significance because he is Maha Ganesha. The Ganesha at Muladhara becomes Maha Ganesha in the Virata that is the brain that means it is the seat of Shri Ganesh. That means Shri Ganesha governs from that seat- the principal of innocence. As you know very well it is placed at the back in the region of optic thalamus and it is the giver of innocence to the eyes. When He incarnated as Christ it is here in the front at Angya, he said very clearly that "Thou shalt not have adulterate eyes". It is a very subtle saying which people don’t understand what is the meaning of the word. Adultery means impurity in a general word. Any impurity in the eye thou shalt not have. It’s very difficult. Instead of saying that you get your realization and clear your back Angya, He has said it in short form "Tthou shalt not have adulterate eyes" and people thought it is an impossible situation. He was not allowed to live long; actually his public life is limited to three and a half years only.

So whatever He has said has a very great significance, that your eyes should not be adulterants; when there is innocence there is no adultery. It means there is no impurity. For example, with our eyes we see something and we want to possess it. We start thinking. The thought starts like a chain one after another, and then we get into the web of horrible thoughts, and then we become slaves of those thoughts. Without even our knowledge our eyes are turned to things which are very gross and take you downward. As Shri Krishna has said that the tree of awareness rose upside down such that the roots are in the brain and the branches go downward. Those who have gone to materialism have grown downward, those who have gone towards divine have grown upwards towards the roots. The main root as they call it is innocence - is Shri Ganesh - and he becomes Maha Ganesha in Ganpatipule; here he is surrounded by the father principal - the guru principle of the sea - the ocean, the Indian ocean.

Enjoying the Disadvantage

 




Enjoying the Disadvantage
First time I went to America I also went by ship. Now the ship has one problem: that it cannot have any problem, because there are no solutions. It is so limited. Whatever is not on the ship is not there. Now, supposing you want to have a pair of scissors, it's not on the ship, so you cannot find it. So there's no problem. (laughter) Because you have possibilities and you have choices that’s why there is a problem. So, on the ship you start understanding, whatever we have we are happy.
In the same way a Sahaja Yogi should be: whatever we have we are very happy. So there’s no problem. Supposing you are lost on the way somewhere then you have to say, “I have to be here. That was God's desire, so I'm here. So I'm not lost. Whatever is myself is with me, how can I be lost?”
There are all such things, if you see, because many people write to me about their problems. And the problems are such that actually there are no problems. Once you start thinking like that you’ll be amazed how the problems get solved.
Now Italy had no rain for all these days. And that people wanted that there should be some rain before I come, because it should clean out the whole thing. So they must have said, “There is no problem.” So it rained. Then the other day it was quite cold. Now they wanted to have, say, a music program. So it was very cold, so we decided we'll not have it. So there is no problem. (laughter)
We slept nicely and got up nicely in the morning because we had to get up nicely in the morning. Otherwise in the night you would have been singing till three o'clock. (laughter) So, it’s better that it was not so all right. And now today it's very warm and nice.
So in Sahaja Yoga you must always think if there is a disadvantage it’s an advantage for us. You should see to the essence of the disadvantage and you will overcome it with an advantage. You will see human beings have done this many a times. Like in Holland, you know the sea is much higher than the land. So what did they do? They created canals. So automatically they got very good roads. They don’t have to worry about keeping the road all right.
So in every way if we can learn, how to enjoy the disadvantage, the so-called problem, then you'll see that the solving of that is the solution in a way that there is no problem. It should not be taken as a challenge, but like a big wave comes onto a swimmer how he enjoys it, you see, to jump over it. That's why we are not joy-killers and we are not also spoiled-sports - spoiled-sports - spoiling the sport.
So you should not say, "I don’t like it, I don’t enjoy it", but you should say, "Why not?" Because if you decide not to like it, you will spoil the joy. But if you keep yourself open all the time and think, "Oh, I’m going to enjoy it”, then you start enjoying. For example, cappuccino was difficult for me in the beginning. (Laughter) But now I enjoy. (Laughter & applause)
Thank you!

Enjoy the Strength of Eternity, Divine Love and Strength of being Universal Being

 



" In the present everything is fleeting. Everything is fleeting that is not eternal. In the present the eternal stays, the rest all drops out. It’s like a moving river which doesn’t stop anywhere. But the moving river is eternal. The rest of the things are all changing. If you are on the Eternal Principle, all that is not eternal changes and drops out, dissolves and becomes nonexistent.
We have to understand our own dignity, our own essence. The first and foremost is that all the Sahaja Yogis are the chosen ones. They are the people whom God has chosen. In this city of Delhi there are thousands and thousands of people. All over the world there are so many people that we are suffering from overpopulation, but in Sahaja Yoga there are very, very few people. And when you are chosen the first, you must also realise that you are the foundations. You are the stones that are to be laid down and have to be strong, have to be forbearing and that’s why it is necessary that all of you who are now few, who are the first lamps that are going to enlighten other lamps in the world, you have to enjoy the strength of eternity, the strength of Divine Love, the strength of this Universal Being that you are.
This is what meditation is. So when Sahaja Yogis ask Me: “What should we do for meditation?” You be in thoughtless awareness that’s all. Don’t do anything. At that time, not [only] that you are moving towards the goal, or that the Unconscious is taking charge of you, not only that, but also that you are emitting, for the first time, the Divine into the nature, into your surroundings, into other people who are universally connected to you. Only thing is that we are used to one thing, that is we must do something about it, and so that’s why we start doing something. Meditation is the most Sahaja method.Then we have prayers and we have also puja. Prayers are also, if said in your heart, with the feeling of complete surrendering and asking for the Eternal, it will be granted. Just ask for that and the rest will take [you] step-by-step. "

Relation of Lakshmi and Guru Principles

 HOW LAKSHMI AND GURU PRINICIPLES ARE RELATED
So [Lakshmi] is born out of the Guru principle. And this Guru principle starts working in you, when you have this Lakshmi principle awakened. Not money, I’m not saying money. Is the Lakshmi principle when you start thinking, “What sweet thing I should give to another?” When you start thinking, “What should I do for others?” You have to be extremely sweet, soft, not dry, not dry people. “How to express my love?”
So first thing is, as the sea spreads its wings and says, “All right, let the sun take away my water, let me boil, let it become the clouds.” In the same way you people have to understand that unless and until I allow the Sun, that’s the Spirit, to evaporate this water from me, means to give to others, how will I develop this guru principle within myself?
You cannot have salt in the seawater unless and until you evaporate it. So you cannot become a guru unless and until you allow the evaporation of this water, of this wealth, the money that you have. But if you are not matured enough, like the sea, then you will remain at a level that, like mad, collecting all the muck of the world and ultimately end up in some lunatic asylum. Because all maryadas are lost, all dharma is lost. Without guru principle, how you can have dharma?
You do not think of anybody else, you do not even think of your father, mother or anyone, you don’t think of your collective work, you don’t think of the world. That’s too much. So you become small, small, small, small, small. But when this Lakshmi tattwa starts, that’s the first inkling of love, love for others.
I know you all love Me very much. But it’s not complete reflection of your Mother. You have to love each other and share everything with each other, with love. Then this first light of love, Lakshmi, starts showing in you. In that light when you move, you become very deeply generous, enjoy your generosity.

Reactions and Joy

 



REACTIONS AND JOY
[T]hat is why you are here for, there’s nothing else to offer in Sahaja Yoga but the joy of life, and that is the essence of all the achievements of life. Everything we do for the joy but everything whatever we do for joy after some times we find it becomes a sort of a reaction. So there is very important point that to make our individuality beautiful we should not immediately react to people, should not give our own opinion ‘I don’t like it, I don’t want it’, but we should absorb the beauty of another person. Now supposing there’s a flower you get, immediately you will see the beauty of the flower, you like to take the fragrance of the flower but suddenly you say ‘I don’t like flowers’ then what can the flower do to you? So one should not react and one should not have such subtle idea about your likes and dislikes because it’s a joy-killer habit, it’s a joy killer. If you want to enjoy take enjoyment from every person like the bee which takes the honey from every flower you must develop that sweet personality within yourself and then only you will know what is sweet, what is good and the enjoyment from one person to another, from one collective to another, from one city to another, from one country to another will be just beautiful like a swing, it will be like a swing going up and down enjoying yourself, that’s what is your real divine sensitivity. And the divine just wants to do that. It’s working out so many ways of giving you photographs, giving you miracles, working it out, making you believe that you are in the Kingdom of God. But if you have all these angularities and if you have all these ideas about yourself then please try to neutralise them.

The Powers of Shri Ganesha

 



The Powers of Shri Ganesha......
I had told you yesterday, that we have to know about the powers that we have, and the powers that we can get. First of all we should know what powers we have got, and also we should know how we are going to preserve those powers and what more powers we can very easily achieve.
The first power that you get after Realization is the greatest power on Earth. This is the power of Shri Ganesha. It is only He can do this job that you people are doing today, and that power is of raising the Kundalini. No one so far in the history of spirituality has ever raised the Kundalini in such a short time as you people are doing. It moves under your fingers; it is absolutely Shri Ganesha’s power which is given to you.
At the time when you are giving the Realization, even if you are caught up in any one of your chakras, or you have any problem, even if you are little bit possessed, even if you are not such a good Sahaj Yogi, even if you are not that much surrendered to Mataji, even if you don’t have much sense of obligation about Sahaj Yoga, still the Kundalini rises under your fingers. This Ganesha key is given to you by Shri Ganesh, Himself, within you, to give you the confidence, to give you the confidence that you can raise the Kundalini, but not the feeling that you are raising the Kundalini. If you go on without surrendering yourself to Sahaj Yoga, after some time you will lose this power, very fast.
Another power which you have got at the raising of the Kundalini of anyone, you can notice it that when the Kundalini rises, that time there will be no obstruction of any kind. Whatever may be the obstructions around – say there’s a possessed person next door, he would not disturb you at that time. In your family there may be a person who is a negative person, but if you’re raising the Kundalini, at that moment he will be kept quiet, at the time when you are moving your hand on the Kundalini is the greatest power you are using. I don’t know how much shraddha you have about yourself and about the power that you have. At that time there will be no obstruction on your hand by anyone whatsoever – even by mistake, nobody will hold your hand or touch your hand.
The second power you have got when you are raising the Kundalini, that, at that time when you’ll be raising your Kundalini, you will be completely attracting the attention of another person with it, like a magnet, by which you should understand that you can raise your Kundalini wherever you feel like. When you are raising the Kundalini, supposing there’s lot of noise going on, there are all kinds of problems going on – supposing you are going in the train, there’s a noise of the train, or any such thing happening - that time your attention will not be distracted, but the attention of the person who is taking the Realization from you, will not be attracted by outside things at that time when you are raising the Kundalini. That means that you can give Realization at any time, because at that time you reside in the lotus which is closed.
The other power you have got, at the time of Kundalini Jagruti, that no baser feelings will rise within you. Even if you are a possessed person, at the time of Kundalini Jagruti you will not have baser feelings, impure feelings about the person whom you are giving Realization. Maybe before and after, but not during when you are giving Realization, these dirty feelings will not come to you – automatically, you don’t have to stop your mind, automatically it will work out. You’ll be absolutely satisfied, even if you are hungry you will not feel the hunger or any physical need, at the time when you are giving Realization. There will be no distraction of any kind; you won’t do anything that is undignified at the time when you’ll be raising your hand, because you are being blessed with dignity. At the time you are raising the Kundalini, you will never joke, or you’ll never make fun; you’ll not be frivolous. Automatically you try, it won’t work.
These are your supporting powers. All these five powers I’ve described are very few of the thousands others, but these are the five powers of Shri Ganesh. Now these powers can be maintained if you try to follow Shri Ganesh. His foremost quality is that He does not know any other god or anybody else higher than His own Mother. A complete dedication and complete obedience to Mother – He is made out of that obedience – complete love and affection for the Mother. He doesn’t argue; He doesn’t question; He doesn’t do anything, and that’s how these powers are in Him the maximum. If you think by arguing with me you are gaining, you are sadly mistaken. You have to keep me pleased, even Ganesha tries every minute to keep me pleased. Is a fact. So, please don’t try to displease me. I may not say anything, because outwardly I don’t say anything, but your powers will be reduced.
Ganesha’s fifth power is the power of wisdom and that whatever He knows He can draw it and write it down. Even that power you have got. When you are rising the Kundalini, you talk to the person in such a manner that the person becomes wise, and you also talk to him only that which is wisdom and also you write or show him figures, automatically which are right. Even if you don’t remember your figures, they’ll come out right.

Controlling Ego and Superego

 



Controlling Ego and Superego.....
First, I will speak in Hindi language and then in English. We are such a cosmopolitan people that I don’t know what language to take to. [Shri Mataji speaks in Hindi]
I am talking to them about Shiva’s worship – what should happen to you. But today, I am going to tell you about the internal happening within us when you get your realization. There are eleven rudras placed here – eleven rudras. They are particles, we can say, anshas as they call it, of Shiva’s powers. And all of them try to take out, or to remove all the false ideas we have about life. When the Kundalini rises, they all get enlightened - eleven of them. And, say for example, Buddha had a part of that; Mahavira had a part of that. Now, all of them, what they do is to control us from falling into the prey of various things. Like, we have an ego. So, Buddha will look after the ego part. He will see that you get shocked by your ego. You will be quite amazed how you could be so egoistical, and so insulting, and so humiliating. But when this rudra is not awakened, when there is no light in this rudra, then what happens? You start justifying yourself. You think whatever you do is correct, whatever you’ve done, whatever you’ve said, whatever you have achieved, you think is your right. You’ve done nothing wrong. For that, this Buddha’s rudra has to be awakened.
On the contrary, if you go on pampering your ego, if you go on becoming egoistical, you become absolutely a right-sided personality. Once you are a right-sided personality, you know what all the symptoms there are of such a person. Now, for that if you just watch and introspect and see for yourself what ego has done to you, what wrong ideas you had about yourself. So that’s why Mohammed Sahib has said, “Beat yourself with shoes.” He didn’t know what else to tell. Because this ego business can really burst you, your head completely, and you may land up into so many difficulties. Ultimately, I have seen people developing this yuppie’s disease where the conscious mind becomes absolutely useless, cannot move. Consciously people cannot move. Unconsciously they will, but not consciously. And this disease is so horrible. A person becomes like a reptile. You have to carry them on your body. They can’t walk on their own. They can’t sit on their own. In a very young age this can happen. This is happening in America. Also, I have seen two, three cases here, in India, also such a thing is happening.
So if you do not try to see your ego and control it, and feel repentant about it. In Sahaja Yoga, there is nothing like repentance, we don’t believe in repentance. Because we believe that you all have got your realization. You are beyond any mistakes. It’s not true. We have to repent. There’s a, in English, there is a word – sorry. Sorry, for everything they will say sorry. Even telephone if you pick up, they’ll say, “sorry.” I say, “Sorry, for what?” But this sorry itself is very empty. It has no meaning. It has no depth. When you say “sorry,” you have to see why you are saying “sorry,” and what is to be corrected. This is a very big problem of today’s generation where people have developed such tremendous ego - because all our economic growth, all our industrial developments, all our big, big organizations, all of them have given us a way that we should all develop our ego. If we don’t develop our ego, we will be lost; we are nowhere. And that’s how we start pampering it, and then this right-sided problem starts. Then as a reaction, it goes to the left side.
Actually, in the head it is on the right side. Here is the right side ego comes up, so the left rudra is that of Mahavira. So people do things, which are sinful, which are wrong, which are against Shri Ganesha. Then also there are controlling powers of Mahavira, who controls. He says, “You will go to hell. This will happen.” He describes all the hell, all kinds of hell, that you’ll go to hell and you’ll be burnt alive - I don’t know, all kinds of things He describes to frighten you. But that doesn’t help. So people start getting more onto the left side and, I should say, through this rudra, when this rudra gets helpless, then a tremendous depression comes in. One feels very depressed. “Oh God. What a depression I have. I am so sick. I am this thing.” And then you try to frighten others with your depressions. You show sort of a, what you call, a emotional blackmail you do. All kinds of things you will do, and beat your head and do all kinds of things. Could be through ego, could be through this left side problem of the left rudra.
These two rudras are very important because they are directly connected with our left and right sympathetic nervous system. So, it’s very important to see that you don’t fall a prey to these rudras. These rudras are to be satisfied. So to be normal, at least look after these two rudras, which are: one is one who controls the ego, and another is self-pity. “I just can’t do it, I’m this, that” and all kinds of depression. All this works out into, physically also, into very serious problems like cancer. If the rudras are caught up, you develop cancer. But all this portion gets swollen up. It’s called as the medha. This all portion gets swollen up, and you can see a cancer patient having a swelling all over. At least would be here, or may be there. Because such a swing in the nature of a person that you can’t say from which rudra they have developed these psychosomatic troubles.

The Duties of Spirit

 



THE DUTIES OF THE SPIRIT
Now in that concept of the Spirit, the property of the Spirit is twofold. One in its nature, the nature of the Spirit is, as we call it, sat chit ananada, means it is the joy. Then it’s the truth. It tells you the truth all the times. It gives you discretion, divine discretion, and chit, the attention that acts, that works, that gives you all the information. So you have got the nature of the Spirit thus felt within yourself.

But on the other side, what does it want or what are its duties or why to be the Spirit is? Such questions arise later on when we are about to enter into the Kingdom of God. Why to enter into the Kingdom of God? So in outside and, we can say, all the manifestations of the Spirit is, that it is benevolent. It is hita cari. It gives benevolence to others. It gives you benevolence and it gives benevolence to others, also. The only joy in that is benevolence. And you think of all these material things, which are so important otherwise, as if they are for giving it to someone just to express your love.

So the benevolence that comes through love, benevolence doesn’t come through oppression or suppression or by intimidation but it comes only through love, and if you have faith in your love you can work it out.

How to Keep Mind in the Soul

 


There are many ways to keep the mind in the soul?
(1) Keep your right hand in left your heart and keep your left hand towards me and repeatedly say twelve times at least mother, I am soul, mother, I am soul.
(2) If you chant seven times from left to right, then your heart gets awakened and after that if you chant the mantra of Lord Shiva, the center of Lord Shiva in your heart will get awakened.
(3) The second thing is that this Brahmarandhra on the Sahastrar is your place of Shiva always, so even if you take care of Brahmarandhra, then also your mind will remain in the soul, Brahmarandhra which is always the place of Shiva. Even if you go, your mind will remain in the soul. In this way, you should do it carefully.
(4) Apart from this, there are many greatness through which you bring your mind in the soul and ask God to pray, pray that, Mother, make us a soul, Mother, let our mind remain in the soul, prayer is a very big thing for a Sahaja Yogi. Such prayer should be done that Mother, give me self-respect, give me Niranand, when this kind of prayer is done, then your mind slowly moves inward because you are beyond, every word is a mantra for you, whatever you say in your every prayer. Fulfillment happens. Those who think that by your grace I have got the soul, they have moved ahead. Yoga should be complete only then your mind can remain in the soul. Yoga is done completely with the soul.

Experience the PEACE beyond THOUGHT

 


Experience the Peace beyond thought
Now our attention is outside, the reason is our brain has become like a prism, and the rays that come into us of awareness also are thrown out and as a reaction our attention goes outside. If I tell you take your attention inside you cannot take it, just cannot. Something has to happen inside and that's why when this Kundalini rises within you then your attention is attracted inside and this happening takes place. And then you find that you can enter inside as well as outside. But otherwise you cannot. Many people say that we are praying, now you are praying outside there is no connection, first the connection must be established. So when your attention is outside you react to everything. For example, I come and see these flowers, then I react to it and then I say something, or another thing I see all the time I am reacting outside. As a result of all the kind of sensations we get out of our reactions our attention becomes absolutely disturbed and we get into lot of troubles. First of all our eyes are not steady, they go on hovering from here to there, God knows what are we looking for. The eyes become impure because we start thinking about things, as soon as we see something we start thinking and a barrier is created. For example there is a beautiful piece something very beautiful you see, and looking at it if there’s a thought you cannot enjoy. But if there is no thought, there’s pure rapport, pure connection, between that beautiful art and yourself. Then you just see it and enjoy that joy of the artist which he has poured into it, without thinking about it. Otherwise normally people will think, “How many pounds can I save?” or “What should I do? Should I purchase it or not?” All sorts of nonsensical flippant, cheap ideas can come into your head. Or could be something higher also “This color is not matched with that and this.” But a person who is a realized soul will just see, just like children, they just look, in the same way, without thinking. So the first thing that happens to your attention that the thoughts subside. Thought is the first problem that has started with ego and now when the thoughts subside then you become peaceful.

People talk of peace, “We should have peace” – how can you have peace? It’s not possible, is an impossible situation. You see we think by thinking, by organizing, by manipulating, we'll have peace. You cannot. You cannot have peace that way. How will you have peace? When the peace is established on your attention. When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides. After all, the peace is disturbed by the human beings only, isn’t it? It is not disturbed by something else, is disturbed by human beings and now if the human beings are not peaceful, how can you have peace by talks? On the contrary when there are talks be sure that there will be some violent action after that. Always it happens because thought is incapable of keeping your attention in balance.

Now how do you remove the thought from your mind is the problem, thoughts are all the time in your mind. If you get possessed you may not have thoughts, but otherwise, which is the other way? The other way is the Kundalini when it rises. A thought rises and falls off and another thought rises and falls off, but when the Kundalini rises, then what happens, these thoughts become elongated and starts some working inside. And there is gap in between and this gap is the place of our peace. If you achieve that peace, the world peace can be achieved. By just taking placards, by shouting for peace you cannot establish peace, peace has to come from the hearts of human beings. In the hearts of human beings peace can be only established when you establish the spirit within it, its core where it manifests the bliss of peace. When you start enjoying the bliss of peace you don't want wars, you don't think of wars and that is the state where now the human beings have to rise and go to that. So these horrible times here which we call as Kali Yuga, the modern times, which are the times of complete illusion and when all the value system is changed, where everybody seems to be unhappy and sick, is the time also preceding the Krita Yuga, the time where everything will be done, perfected and established, that's the meaning of Krita Yuga. So to begin with primitive times, which we call Krita Yuga are established again, the primitive is again established, but here with awareness, like as I told you the matter becomes aware of itself. The Kundalini, which is a potential thing, which is a potential power of desire within us, which as we can call the primitive, manifests itself and becomes aware of itself. That is what is Sahaja Yoga today. It's all Sahaja, it's all spontaneous, all life process has been spontaneous, but today that is what it is. So, spontaneously our attention becomes peaceful, absolutely peaceful, and when that peace is achieved, that peace is established within your heart through the ascent. Then, every bit of that peace emits peace. Such a person wherever he is, he emits peace wherever he is. If there is quarrel going on there will be peace.
