Sahajayoga- Spiritual Insight

The most important achievement or benefit whichSahajayoga offers is that it provides Spirititual Insight to the seeker of truth. Mataji Nirmaladevi has rightly said on number of occasions that " without spiritual insight there cannot be pure intelligence or pure truth.

So for everybody who is on the search of real truth, who wants to develop real intelligence he must possess spirititual insight, which is provided very easily by the blessings of Mataji Nirmaladevi. You are always bound to be misled if you depend on your intelligence- which is nothing but your ego. Dominance of ego in our life manytimes makes us to believe that whatever we think is correct, whatever we say is true, our action is the only the real solution the problem ,etc. all such types of things. So intelligence without spiritual insight is nothing but egoistic attitude. When we become slave of our ego - it gets converted into Superego, then things becomes more complicated. The person is likely to become blind to reality, truth and accepts only that version or idea, which suits him, which boost his ego. Thus he follows wrong path,instead of righteous path.

Ego and Super Ego creates lot of real problems for those people who have it. They are highly sensitive ,they can feel hurt at anything which is different from their thinking, different than their expectations etc. Every person is highly affected by the conditioning of his life. It has a great impact in his life- everything he does, he thinks, he acts or reacts, he likes or dislikes - everything. So ego, superego, self conditionings all needs to be tackled for becoming a more conscious person, become real pure soul, and that can be done easily by learning sahahayoga - by cleansing of Agnychakra in our body. When it is cleansed , when it is open, all these problems disappear like a cloud in a sky, which are directed and moved by the flow of air.

With Sahajayoga we get spiritual insight, we know real meaning of religion, we understand the real teachings of great saints on this earth, our every action is guided by and backed by righteous thinking. So self- realisation, personal enlightenment is the great force provided to every individual by the Sahajahyoga, the very , simple and convining method of Meditation of Mataji Nirmaladevi.

Jai.Shri Mataji.

Important Teachings of Mataji Nirmaladevi

The following are various teachings given by Mataji Nirmaladevi to sahajayogis on various pujas an public programs , which are really life changing. If we ponder upon it, try to understand those in clear terms and implement in our own life, the quality and tranquility of our life will be far more.

The only sin is to feel small & separate from the whole

From the 1982 address on the occasion of the 9 Nights, Shri Mataji gave a new definition to original sin, which in it's generally known understanding, tends to infuse us with unnecessary guilt. However, the sin, if any, is only to believe we are powerless, individuals disconnected from the great unity.

Some notable quotes from this address to Sahaja Yogis:

'That was the avidya, the artificial knowledge, the knowledge that “I am something,” that “I am the doer” - the ego. Till the animal stage there was no ego, and then the ego started growing. We can say that’s the beginning of the original sin: that “I am something.; I’m doing something; it’s I who can do it.'

So with awakening of Kundalini, you realise who you are, and stop thinking negative abour yourself. It is most step for personal improvement. When the feeling of I am small vanishes, you feel yourself the power of God and lead the right path with full confidence.

Another important benefit of these teachings is that you overcome feeling of depression, which is causing great harm in present world. People think of ending their life in highly depressed conditions. You can after self realisation feel that there is no big cause to worry about life and give up feelings of suicide.

Overcoming Depression by Spreading Enlightenment

Unless and until we are connected, we cannot know how great we are. And that’s how we start condemning ourselves, suffering from depression, this, that frustration. These are all artificial. And they just drop out once you know what you are, what is your capacity, what you can do, what are your powers. So that, you get awakened and you can awaken others also. This is another power you get that you can awaken other people. You don’t have to ask Me to do that. Anybody who is enlightened can do it. Like one candle which is enlightened can enlighten hundred candles. In the same way you can also do it. And once you start doing it the joy is tremendous.

The limits of mental introspection

So introspection, also, if it brings about depression and demeaning of your personality, best is not to introspect also. Because all these mental activities, I have seen, create problems. But in a state where you are thoughtlessly aware, introspection comes to you automatically. You see it automatically. You understand it automatically. You do not think about it, it just comes to you. The whole picture comes to you and you are at peace with yourself. You are never in turmoil, never in trouble. Then you don’t get angry. Then you do not argue, then you do not discuss, but you become as if dropped in to the ocean of awareness and you don’t have to worry as to solve something. When you are reflecting, then you find that this power works.

Know everything through Vibrations.

Sahajayoga Meditation is a very uniques meditation method taught and practiced by people all over the world, belonging to different religions and communities. Its speciality or uniqueness lies in the experience of Vibrations. The person, whose kundalini is awakened and reaches to the Sahastradhar by the blessing of Mataji Nirmaladevi, get the very uncommon experiene of Vibrations.

Those Vibrations are felt through our both hands, finger, various points on our palm. Not necessarily on hands but throught all body at different points. Particularly above over head, we feel very cool breeze approaching us, cooling us, satisfying us, giving us pure love and joy.

It is described in different words in different religions.

In christanity it is called " holy ghost", muslims calls it " ruha". You can name it in any way or form but it is experienced, present with us. It is the existance of god within you, which is reflected in the form of vibrations. Every good thing has vibrations- because it is the "Paramchaitanys" the god itself.

When we enter the kingdom of God, we feel those Vibrations. Vibrations are the way in which God keeps us on right track. With the help of these vibrations, we can know - what is good, what is bad, What is truth , what is false, what would benefit us, what will harm us, whether to believe on any person or not- all worries, problems, doubts in life can be solved with the help of Vibrations. Vibrations is the language of God, which guides us all along our life. Only thing is that we need to develop it, we have to accept it, we have to respect it and seek its help in times of problems.

Vibrations is the manifestation of energy within us called Kunalini. It reflects the integration of our phylosopical, religious, physical and mental power. Kundalini is our Mother, It is the Supreme God, It is the Paramchaitanya present within us.

Mataji has rightly told us that - Kundalini cures you, she improves you, she bestows all the blissful things upon you. She takes you away from the worries at the grosser level", says Shri Mataji.

We are thankful to Mataji Nirmaladevi for awakening our Kundalini and leading us on righteous path.

Jai.Shri.Mataji.

Personality Development and Life changing Quotes of Mataji Nirmaladevi

Since founding the Sahajayoga technique Mataji Nirmaladevi has been guiding the human being as to how develop oneself ,how to overcome hurdles in individual progress, how to get peace of mind, how to enjoy the life, how to resolve the issues and so many things.

For the benefit of all I quote below some of the very important Quotes of Mataji Nirmaladevi-

1. Witnessing -

So to overcome the problems of personality the best thing is to witness, practice witnessing everything: before talking, practice witnessing, before giving any comments, just start witnessing. It’s a very, very satisfying attitude.

1998- Aug. 16, Advanced Program, Cabella, Italy

If we can adopt this attitude of witnessing utterance of each and every word of us,real transformation will take place within us. We would be extremely conscious about our behaviour. We will think before talk, before act and thus can avoid lot of unnecessary futile talking, criticising everybody, wasting valuable time in observing and commenting others and so on. The more we concentrate on self , the more benefits it will provide to you.

2.Wisdom -

Wisdom doesn’t mean that you know how to argue things or you fight with people. No, it doesn’t mean that. Wisdom means how you take to the good side of everything to enjoy it. This is wisdom and that you avoid all destructive things and take to something constructive.

1992 – Sept. 13, Advanced Program, Abbotsford, Canada

Mataji has rightly taught the real meaning of wisdom and we need to be wise in true sense. Wisdom does not lie in arguing your point of view, or questioning others views, or fighting on difference of opinion. Real wisdom will always guide to think in constructive manner, act in constructive manner. Otherwise just showing your wisdom by arguing, questioning, opposing, will never lead you anywhere. Very rarely you would be successful in changing other's mind and thinking. Let is happen in proper way. Let him understand and then he will himself accept it and behave accordingly. So adopt constructive attitude through out the lfe. Live like a real wise man as per the perspective of Mataji.

3. God's creation -

As a mother would see her child, you should see the whole world as a beautiful place that God has created for you.

2007 – June 24, Sahaja Yoga Advanced Program, Cabella, Italy

We need to develop our approach towards life, towards looking at things and happening around us. That changed way of looking can bring about lot of peace, happiness for us. We will find so many things around us beautiful, enjoying,appreciating etc. We would stop grumbling on every small issue. It will drastically change our life.

4. Follow Truth not Ego -

Before knowing the truth, if you depend on your intelligence, you can be misled completely. Intelligence that is without the spiritual insight is your own ego. After Realization, the truth that comes to you is the real, pure truth and is not your ego.

1984 – July 10, Public Program, Cheswick England

Mataji Nirmaladevi has taught a very easy, simple way of overcoming ego problem. Always follow truth. It is very difficult, because many a times we are not ready to know the truth, find out the truth, accept the truth under the over influence of self ego. Ego misguides us , ego makes us behave arrogantly and distance us from reality and can create many other problems in life. The person who can overcome ego can easily face any situation, can adjust oneself, can accept reality, can live balanced life. The touch of truth will light our path of life.

Jail Shri. Mataji.

The way my life has changed

October 16th, 2006

Olga Dementieva, Belgium

I was still in Russia, when I came across Sahaja Yoga. Me and my mother went to spend a holiday in a beautiful resort city in the Nothern Caucases, Piatigorsk. My mother, who had been practising Sahaja Yoga for one year than, suggested to go once to a programme of Sahaja Yoga, that took place in the neighbouring city Jzelieznovodsk. That was the place where she had learnt about Sahaja Yoga one year before the event I’m writing about.As I was interested in all kinds of spiritual teachings, I agreed with pleasure.

So we went. Sergey, who was leading the programme, thought that my mother had already explained everything about Sahaja Yoga to me, so we had a meditation, and then we sang some bhajans – we did everything the way as if I was aware of what I was doing. But I just wasn’t! Sergey asked me at the end of the programme how I felt. I felt very good! My whole being was filled with joy and contentment.

Soon we had to leave for Tambov. There were no sahaja yogis in Tambov at that moment, except for my mother and my sister. They went on practicing Sahaja Yoga, while I completely let it out of my attention.

Once I went to see my friends at their place. Since they were having a drink,I was served a glass of an alcoholic drink I used to like. To my greatest surprise, this time I didn’t like neither the smell, nor the taste of the drink. More over, I was so disgusted, that I couldn’t finish the glass. That was the last time I’ve drunk alcohol. That happend in November 1994 ,more than seven years ago. At that moment I didn’t see the connection between my Selfrealization and being disgusted by alcohol. But little later I met many other sahaja yogis, who had similar experiences. It is known in Sahaja Yoga, that after one gets his Selfrealization, one’s destructive habits (drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc…) fall off.

That was just a small example of how much my life has changed for the better after I started practising Sahaja Yoga. The other positive changes are:

1. My health has improved. Unpleasant chronical diseases,like cistites,disappeared. More over, I’ve learnt to work on my subtle centres in such a way, that deseases don’t get much chance to appear
2. I don’t have to look for the cause of what happens to me in the outside world, but rather try and introspect myself.I’m not reluctant to admit my mistakes,but try to correct them
3. Many destructive qualities, like anger, letargy, lack of selfesteem, deminished
4. My attention has become sharper, thahks to which my ability to learn improved
5. I’ve learnt to controll myself in all kinds of stressfull situations
6. Sahaja Yoga meditations brought a new dimention into my life, which is hard to express with words, but which I wish to everyone of you to experience !

2. From drug abuse to purity and social integration

	Before Sahaja Yoga, my life was darkened by mental illness. Day by day, I plodded through college work with a sense of dread. I spent time with marijuana smokers as well as heavier drug users at times. I felt like a social misfit. I fit in nowhere and would go through psychotic episodes and mood swings that would go on endlessly. I was destructive to the property of others and would test my parents at home to see who could scream louder. For the past three and a half years, I've been using the techniques of Sahaja Yoga to cleanse my inner vision. I now have a genuine interest in learning and participating in society and bettering American culture. The turning point for me was about six months after I began practicing Sahaja Yoga and started to see the minute changes that were occurring. I saw Shri Mataji speak at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan in the summer of '96. From then on, I gradually and spontaneously gave up on drug abuse and many other issues which have attacked my life. The older people in Sahaja Yoga have seen the changes in me too. When I walk into a room full of yogis, I feel welcomed, not paranoid. When I spend time with other yogis, I feel like family to them, not a stranger. I look forward to spending time with my parents, not dreading it. I feel enlightened now and remain proud of that knowledge. I feel like a vital part of the human race. I wake up in the morning and am ready to enjoy another day and am finally a pleasant person to spend time with!

3.Rising above suicide - " believe me, Sahajayoga works."

	I am writing this for people who, like me, tried to commit suicide and kept after that the desire to start again. I have read that this desire often remains for those who tried once. After my attempt I was sent on holiday, then to a therapist, then on a yoga course with a 'yoga specialist', all kinds of things to make me forget and get the taste for life back. But I did not. Until I got my Realization: I knew that this was worth living for. At first I felt for a while a pain on my left heart and had to ask forgiveness to my Spirit for trying to extinguish the life given to me by God. The black ideas receded little by little, and it took a few years for them to disappear completely. But soon after Realization I decided I would not try again. So I owe my life to Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yoga: without them I would be only a skeleton since ages! Depressive thoughts enter my mind once in a while but never like before. The insidious cancer of suicidal desires has completely gone. I am sure that some of you reading this have had such thoughts: believe me, Sahaja Yoga works! E., 49 years old
