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.
