Birth of Christ - Lessons for Humanity

Shri Mataji says that Muslims, Hindus, Christians and others have to be resurrected to a higher state to understand what is actually taking place on Earth. Shri Mataji even broke years of silence last month on Easter just to remind all Her devotees that Lord Jesus and His message must be spread to the rest of humanity. But why does She keep on telling us how important it is to believe in Jesus Christ? Extremely few know the real reasons, and by that i mean Her own disciples too. And it is only through Jesus Christ can we understand the Resurrection because by being the first to provide evidence of His own resurrection, He assures us that we too will be resurrected and attain the same eternal spirit and afterlife. Thus it is crucial for all to understand why Shri Mataji regards Jesus Christ as a pivotal figure in the Last Judgment and Resurrection: "

Merry Christmas to you all. According to Sahaja Yoga Christ is settled on your Agnya Chakra. His whole life is depicting the qualities of a person who is a realized soul.

What He has suggested in his own life is that you should not have any greed or lust.

The way these days people are greedy all over the world is really shocking. Right from the childhood our children also learn to ask for this or ask for that. Only complete satisfaction in life can give you that equanimity, that balance by which you do not hanker after things.

These days even India has become very much westernized in the sense, they are also very much wanting to have this and that. Actually now in America suddenly with this happening, people are getting to spirituality. They come to spirituality because they think they have not found any satisfaction anywhere. What we have to receive from His life, the great life of Christ?

First He was born in a small little hut. As you so many of them when you come along, very much satisfied and He was put in a cradle which was all covered with dry, very dry grass. Can you imagine? And then He sacrificed His life on the cross.

Whole thing is a story of a sacrifice because He had a power, Power of spirit that He could sacrifice anything, even sacrifice his own life. So you can understand, the greatness of Christ was coming from his great personality of spirituality.

Handle your tongue properly to rise in Sahajayoga and life.

Witnessing power............

I have told you that for a Sahaja Yogi the whole thing should be decided by the witnessing power. Now the witnessing power is silent, it doesn’t talk, if you are a very talkative person then it’s not going to help you much. You have to come in balance. For the first time in towerhis incarnation I have started talking and I get so troubled because I’m not used to this kind of talking. So for you people, it is necessary that you should not talk unless and until you feel like talking. And very few sentences, conclusive. As I told you before, the tongue is the master of all the organs of distraction. If you could master your tongue, you are master of all of them, in a way. Because everything has to be palatable .... The tongue decides about it all. If you want to eat some food, if it is not palatable then you don’t want to eat that food. It has to be palatable. Then a thought also, a thought has to be palatable. If it is not palatable, you are not going to have it. So the deciding factor is the tongue, the roots of the tongue goes up to the Vishuddhi chakra, which controls your ego and superego, or you can say that the tongue is reflected in superego and ego in a way.

Through your tongue, when you speak, one can make out whether you are in the realm of the ego or superego. She expresses, she decides. But if you understand her, then you know how to handle her. She’s your friend and Saraswati herself resides in your tongue. If you know how to handle your tongue then Sahaja Yoga can rise really higher. Because when others meet you, as Sahaja Yogis, they also see how the way you talk, the way you eat, the way that things are palatable to you. It is the tongue that decides.

If you are really very much evolved, you’ll be amazed that if you eat some food that, immediately the tongue will throw it out. It won’t have it, if it is something wrong. If some prasad, so called, is given to you, which is given by some wrong kind of man, immediately your tongue will throw it out. It won’t be able to take it in. And even if you take some of the food down in the stomach, still the tongue will inform the brain that throw it out, and the brain will inform the stomach that throw it out. It will be unpalatable. So the action of Vishnu in the stomach up to the action of Shri Krishna, who is the same personality, is all just by your tongue.

You must know how pure, holy, your tongue should be. That when you take the name of your Mother with this tongue, you must know it has to be the holiest of holiest. It is very important how you use your tongue. Those who talk very bluntly are just the same as those who talk very sweetly, to get something out of you is the intention. As I have told you, it controls the ego and superego. Even if Sahaja Yogis understand that the witness is also here, at the Vishuddhi chakra. So your witnessing powers will increase and decrease according to your tongue.

Of course it controls sixteen sub-plexus. It also controls the muscles of the eyes. It controls all these muscles, it controls the palate, it controls the teeth. It controls the ears. But here, you hear something you cannot control it. Tongue you can, because that is the thing which releases, which goes out. With the ear you cannot give anything to others. That is just one way. This is double way thing, you can take in something and also can throw out. It has a double purpose, it is a very important organ. And that’s why we have to look after our tongue.

Ritualism has no place in sahajayoga.

Though there are various rules or protocols about the pooja and dhyan and aarti of mataji nirmaladevi followed in alomost all centers world over, Mataji has specifically advised not to become the slave of any kind of ritualism.  Do anything and evrything by heart, open your heart and she likes it, god likes it.  So just forget about how many times you have uttered a mantra, or what steps you followed or missed.  Be spontaneous and free bird in the sky .  Do everything with love and that is the best practice to be followed by sahajayogis.

following are extracts from various speeched given by mataji nirmladevi on the subject. 

 Ritualism is not at all important........

First of all, we should see that how our conditioning takes over our innocence. It makes you extremely ritualistic. Even in Sahaja Yoga, I’ve seen, I’ve heard also, that people are extremely, extremely ritualistic. Now the ritualism is like this: that you have to say something three times, you say it three times, seven times like tied up people. I’ve seen some Sahaja Yogis like that. ...

So one should understand a difference between a protocol and ritualism. An innocent child knows the protocol. ... So for children, you see, innocent children, the worship, everything is not ritualistic. It is heartfelt. You feel it from the heart: how to do the worship, how to show your love. Is very sweet way an innocent person does it; while a person who is very ritualistic, he may even beat another person because, “Why did you do this? You should not have put camphor in it? Why did you put the camphor so? It's very wrong.” There’s nothing wrong. If you do it with your heart, with your open heart, innocently, anything is all right. It is the open heart which is necessary, not the closed heart — “Why did you do it? Why didn’t you do it? Where did you sit? What happened?” Nothing.

Now you are in the Kingdom of God and here there are no such rules and regulations that you should be ritualistic.

(Shri Ganesha Puja 1993)

Some people know more rituals, others know more protocol, but it does not matter. I know the one who loves me. The one who loves others, loves me the most. I don't care about your protocols and rituals. It is nonsense for me. What does it matter to me? It makes no difference wether you say good morning or good evening to me. What you say to your brothers and sisters is the important thing.

(Chelsham Road, London, 24/5/81)

Quietness within, peace within, that’s very important. If there is peace you will grow. There’s no other way out. But you see, all this ritualism, sometimes giving bandhan all the time or raising Kundalini all the time and people even would like to see the table if it has vibrations, you see. That’s going too far. There’s no need to do all that nonsense. Sahaja Yoga is sense, it’s not nonsense.

(Talk in Armonk, New York, 27/7/88)

Is not necessary to have this ritualism, this kind of a rigmarole. Oh, all the time you go on. Everyday, morning till evening, nonsensical these things and they become fanatic. They start becoming absolutely fanatic about Sahaja yoga and this fanaticism can be very dangerous because they try to remember everything by heart this and that. No, not necessary.

(Shri Adi Shakti Puja 1995)

You must know what you are. First of all introspect. Accordingly you should work it out, but this ritualism is not allowed in Sahaja Yoga all the time.
