Behaviour of Sahajayogis an yoginis

 

The rules to be practiced by Sahajayoga

Mataji Nirmaladevi has time and again set certain rules to be followed by sahajayogis and yoginis.  She has set it for the benefit and upliftment of sahajayogis.  Following are those expectations from all of us by the Mataji Nirmaladevi.

1.     Accept Life - Accept life as it is — as it is. Whatever life is there, accept it. Do not retaliate, do not get angry, do not get upset, justaccept and you will enjoy the same life which was irritating you. You will see the enjoying part of that and it will be so beautiful the way you will see that you will get over all your problems. You will get over all your enemies and a kind of a very fresh beautiful existence you will have.

2.     Daily Meditation and foot soaking -  Mataji has often said that for the sahajayogis daily meditation  twice- in the morning and evening is very essential and important.  It helps to cleanse the body and mind every day.  It helps to get connected with the god within by remaining in nirvikalp state.  Early morning meditation has great value and effect on daily happenings.  Also daily foot soaking at night or before meditation is recommended.

3.     Never speak lie – Never be a liar. It is very harmful.  Mataji has warned that all those involved in lies would go to Narak and their followers to.

4.     Avoid smoking and drinking liquor – Sahajayogis should never do smoking and drinking liquor.  Mataji has said that it is very very harmful for the body and mind.

5.     Love, Compassion is the basis of sahajayoga.  You have to love yourself, love others around you.  Be warm and affectionate with people around you.  Never indulge in dirty games of ego and superego.  Sahjayogi should always use sweet words.  Never indulge in defaming or degrading others. If possible show respect and talk about the good things of others.

6.     Must be in collectivity.  Sahajayoga can be better learned and enjoyedin collectivity.  The collectivity has better impact on your body, mind, chakras etc.  It is always beneficial to be with collectivity than doing it alone all the time. The progress in Sahaj Yoga is only possible when your attention is on the Spirit. How do you nourish it? That’s another point. The only solution is collectivity. A person who is not collectively nourished cannot grow. He cannot grow whatever he may try.

7.     Never indulge in groupism in sahajayoga.  Avoid such act and avoid criticizing others who do not belong to your group. It is never expected in sahajayoga.  Let everybody follow his or her own ideas and enjoy sahajayoga in real sense.

8.     Always forgive others.  It requires great strength, but you have todo it.  It is of no use remembering bad old attitude of others towards you. You just forgive them. It saves you from getting trapped into their ideas, things, deeds and words. Relieve yourself of all that by just forgiving them.  As somebody has rightly said forgive others, not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.
