Like a Dust Particle

 

Following is the poem by Mataji Nirmaladevi when she was just seven years old. 

Like a Dust Particle

I want to be smaller,
Like a dust particle
Which moves with the wind.
It goes everywhere.

Can go
Sit on the head of a king,

Or can go
And fall at the feet of someone.

And it can go
And sit everywhere.

But I want to be a particle of dust
That is fragrant,
That is nourishing,
That is enlightening.

Ten Adi Gurus as per Sahaja Yoga

If your question is about the importance of the 10 Adi Gurus described in Sahaja Yoga, their significance can be briefly understood as follows:

1. Abraham – An ideal of faith, trust, and righteousness.

2. Moses – The establishment of religious law, truth, and justice.

3. Raja Janaka – An ideal of self-realization and detachment while living in the world.

4. Socrates – Self-reflection, discernment, and the pursuit of truth.

5. Laozi – Simplicity, balance, and harmony with nature.

6. Confucius – Morality, discipline, and virtuous conduct in society.

7. Guru Nanak – A message of devotion to God, equality, service, and love.

8. Kabir – The true experience of God beyond external rituals and appearances.

9. Zarathustra – The path of good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.

10. Muhammad – Surrender, discipline, compassion, and complete devotion to God.

According to the teachings of Sahaja Yoga, these ten Adi Gurus are great guides who lead humanity toward righteousness, wisdom, truth, compassion, forgiveness, balance, and self-realization. Their purpose is to inspire people to awaken inwardly and live a righteous life.

The lives of the Adi Gurus teach us that true religion is found not merely in books, but is expressed through truth, love, forgiveness, and pure conduct

Depth on the Axis is more important than anything else

 

In Sahaja Yoga I don’t know you by your faces so much; I know you by your chakras, by your Sushumna, what sort of a Sushumna you have. If you have a deep Sushumna, I know you as a deep person. If you have a superficial Sushumna, I know you as a person with a very superficial type of a Sushumna. And even if you make up something by sort of being very nice or good, or talking about Sahaja Yoga or knowing too much about Sahaja Yoga and saying things which will baffle normally anyone as if you are masters of Sahaja Yoga, I know how deep you are.So, the depth on the axis is more important than anything else. Your axis has to be very deep. Now you will say that “Mother, the axis is the same as it is, so how can it be deep?” So, in the axis as you see is made in human beings, is like a three-and-a-half coiled paper-like thing, and the inside of it is the Brahma Nadi. The Brahma Nadi is a very, very small little, we can call a very, very hair-like thing where only a hair-like Kundalini can pass through. But when the person is deepthis Brahma Nadi is bigger, and all the rest of them which are coiled into each other are smaller; while the people who are not deep, their outside what you call the folding are bigger than the inside small thing. Now such people could be apparently very dynamic, may look very intelligent, may look very smart, may look to be very good-looking or whatever it may be outwardly, but inwardly they are not deep. Inwardly if they are deep,their whole attitude is beautiful. They are very joy-giving people, they are very joygiving. And the more if you meet a person of another kind, he may look joyous, he may try to give you joy, but the joy won’t be really that deep; it would be like a joy-killing. So, it is important for us to make our axis deeper, and that is where we lack the proper assiduity, the proper effort we have to put in.”

When Shri Adi Shakti commanded the Five Elements

 

When Shri Adi Shakti commanded the five elements.*

This incident dates back to July 1977. It was a period when Shri Mataji had begun sowing the seeds of Sahaja Yoga outside India, especially in Western countries.

In 1974, Shri Mataji’s husband, C.P. Srivastava Ji, was elected Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London. After that, Shri Mataji’s visits to London became more frequent, and she began giving Self-Realization to seekers there.

This incident took place in Surrey, a county in England located southwest of London. At that time, Shri Mataji would stay at the house in Brompton Square, London, or travel to the rural areas of Surrey for small programs and meditation camps.

During these journeys, a small group of early Western Sahaja Yogis would accompany Shri Mataji in the car. These were mainly the initial practitioners from London who, on this occasion, were returning with Shri Mataji from a small meditation session.

*(These eyewitnesses later mentioned this incident exactly as it happened in Sahaja Yoga memoirs and books.)*

In the month of July, the weather in England suddenly changed and a terrible summer thunderstorm arrived. The rain was so heavy that the car’s wipers were completely ineffective, and nothing could be seen through the windshield.

The surrounding trees were swaying violently in the wind, and thunder was crashing. For the practitioner driving the car, moving forward had become almost impossible and life-threatening.

All of us practitioners sitting in the car were frightened. Then Shri Mataji, with complete calmness, asked that the car be stopped at the side of the road. She looked toward nature and raised her right hand toward the sky. She commanded the elements of nature (the five great elements) to become calm.

Instantly, all of us practitioners saw that as soon as Shri Mataji raised her hand, the dark clouds directly above her car and within a radius of a few meters around it immediately dispersed, and bright sunshine appeared under a blue sky.

The most astonishing thing was that this was not an ordinary change in the weather. A “protective shield” or “circle of light” had formed directly above the car.

As the car moved forward, that circle of clear sky and sunshine moved along with it, while just outside that circle (only a few feet away), the violent storm and torrential rain continued unabated.

All of us practitioners were amazed by this unbelievable sight and were silently offering our gratitude to Shri Mataji. Again and again, only one thought arose from our hearts...

Shri Mataji is the living embodiment of Shri Adi Shakti, and she can do anything.

Victory to Shri Mataji.

Ways and Methods to Improve Your VIBRATIONS

 

There are ways and methods to improve your vibrations.

For people who suffer from ego, I think best thing is to put your hands into the ice, right hand, may be. It may work out. Try it! But don’t prepare! Just push your hands into ice sometimes. It may work out. And for people who suffer from superego, little bit burning your hand on the candle may help. Just try!

Because the hands are not sensitive. So there is a heat or a cool too much. Either you are a frozen personality or you are a heated personality, you are not in the centre. So if you are a frozen personality, better melt it a little bit, try! I never said this before because half of you would have run away if I had said this! But don’t burn it to have blisters I am saying! Just a little bit, try to see that, if you burn your finger the sensitivity will improve. But someone is thinking just now that, “If you have both the problems, what do you do?” (laughter)

There are permutations and combinations because if you get out of your ego you have a big superego that comes up, and if you get after your superego the ego comes up. There then, the attention has to be brought here [Mother puts Her palm on Her Brahmarandhra]. And Sahaja Yogis know what it is, here to keep attention here. If you can keep your attention here, then you are above this, and if something drops out it drops out forever because you are standing here....

Nobody should feel higher because they are feeling vibrations or nobody should feel lower because they are not feeling vibrations. But if somebody tries to help you, don’t feel bad....

That doesn’t mean now [that] all of you should buy a bucket of ice and put your hands into it. You see this is the trouble with human beings, you tell them anything and you find them sitting with a bucket in the hand! (laughter) No, I’m just saying ‘try’. You see, because, you must know, I have no problems. All right?

You are all individuals, you are all professionals, you are research scholars. Keep your mind open and try and find out if it helps you. Every individual has individual problems. All these little, little problems you can solve yourself, because you have the light. You have the light of vibrations, the Spirit is with you, so you are independent.

I just give you guidelines, that doesn’t mean that you every day have a vision! No, horrible it is! But it has helped some people. May not be for everyone, this may suit or may not suit. But for left-sided people is better, I have seen.

It's all "Okay"

 

Don’t know who needs to hear this But,

It's okay to be an honest person.

Those who take advantage of you because of that will one day answer to "Her."

It's okay to ask for help.

We all need it at some point in our lives.

It's okay to be an average student or performer.

You came into this world to live, not to win.

It's okay to cry.

It simply means you are someone who feels.

It's okay to quit and start again.

Sometimes, endings are what make new beginnings possible.

It's okay to take care of yourself.

In the end, you will be alone when you go to “her”.

It's okay to take the first step and fail.

That is how you learn, try again, and reach your destination.

It's okay to tell someone you love them.

Love is one of the most beautiful feelings we can experience in this world.

It's okay to feel anger toward those who harm humanity.

It's okay to be vocal against everything that is anti-human, anti-nature, anti-God, and anti-truth.

It's okay not to know everything,It's just okay.

Yes, It's all "Okay"

And it's okay to believe that "Shrimataji" is Everything.

Because, in the end,

that is the Ultimate Truth
