The Apex of Evolution

 

THE APEX OF EVOLUTION

You are sitting on top of a mountain, and you are sitting on top of the evolution now. In knowledge, you are the greatest yogis; in power, you are the greatest yogis. You can become the greatest saints in righteousness and dharma. Where you lack is the dedication and devotion, the pure desire. Like, these yogis used to go in the jungles, live there with the wild animals and used to practice meditation to achieve self-realization, years after years, lives after lives, because they had a pure desire so strong within them. But in Sahaja Yoga you move one step and you get blessings, you move another step you get another blessing; it is nothing but blessings all the time. You are blessed every moment.

But sometimes also must know, because of Mahamaya character of your Mother, these blessings are temptations. So be aware of it and try to keep, with humility, yourself in the center. It’s like ego, you see, because like this air you go up; and like these balloons, any fashion comes in you all go in the same direction anywhere it can take you. But thank God, there is a string which is tied. So we have to be solid pillars of Sahaja Yoga creating the roof for all the seekers of the world, for the emancipation of humanity. Of course, Pujas – you know that you go deep. You go very deep into Pujas, you touch very great depths. But that is My doing. What is your doing is to seek out that depth, keep up the enjoyment of that doing.

Beauty is beyound Economics

 

BEAUTY IS BEYOND ECONOMICS

Now, if there’s a poet who will sit here, he’ll watch the beautiful things what God has given and he’ll sing the praise of God. But if there is a modern poet, then he will curse God; his mind will find out some fault somewhere. Modern mind is very good at finding faults, so the sensitivity to appreciation is very dull. On the whole, the sensitivity is less for joy. If the sensitivity is low for joy, then they have to take injections to feel the joy. So they have to use the music, which is very jarring. Should be absolutely shaking the nerves; otherwise they are very sensitive to noise. It’s difficult to deal with this modern mind because it cannot imbibe the beauty of joy within itself, while the God Almighty is the source of joy. When you see this beautiful nature and the sun playing around with it, you just become thoughtless, and you just get lost into the eternity.

But in the modern times the philosophy has taken place by economics. So we want to see what is the economic value of everything. In that then we try to develop it in such a way that it is appealing more to the economic value, and that is why the modern man cannot see the beauty, which is beyond economics. He runs from places to places thinking that it has more economic value, but that value cannot give you joy. Up to the point that when it comes to art also people make it an economic value. They will buy a painting because it can be resold. They’ll put a money in a jewelry which can be resold. The whole thing you can see so clearly that even the gold and silver has got a brand.

Everything is branded, standardized. So I was surprised that in India every house will have some silver, but here the silver has to be some brand, which only very few can buy. Same with the gems, same with gold, everything is branded. But these are very cunning tricks. By too much advertising and too much conditioning they can have a name, some stupid name, has no meaning. And then they can sell it under that name, whatever they want.

Birth of Adishakti on Earth

 

"So all the Gods requested that now, I, the Adi Shakti has to take the birth. They all tried their best. They did whatever was possible; the saints were made by them but very few. They incarnated and people made religions out of them which were perverted and brought them a bad name.

No reality in those religions. These religions were money oriented or power oriented. There was no Divine force working, actually it was all anti-divine.

How to now turn human beings away from these superficial religions, these perverted paths of destruction? How to tell them about all these established organisations? For ages they have been ruling, making money, making power.

It was a tremendous task, it had to be done with great patience and love. It was a very delicate work also, because they believed in those religions, innocent people, simple people. To blast them that this is all nonsense, they are no religions, they are against the incarnations, against all the prophets, against all the saints. That’s why all the real saints had to suffer. It’s a powerful work that was to be done, and that’s why Adi Shakti had to take birth on this earth.

It had to be before the sixth of May because sixth of May was the doomsday in that year. It was done on the fifth of May in the nick of time. It was all decided beforehand, and every deity’s job was allotted to all of them. Very efficient deities, very obedient, they knew Me very well, completely dedicated and devoted. They knew Me very, very well, every end of My hair they knew. I didn’t have to teach them protocol, love itself gives you protocol, but love that is Divine; it’s not selfish love. It’s not the way we love, my child, my husband, my country, my clothes, it is the love which is Divine, which spreads from your Heart, from your Spirit, like the light of knowledge. What a tremendous task it was.So all the Gods requested that now, I, the Adi Shakti has to take the birth. They all tried their best. They did whatever was possible; the saints were made by them but very few. They incarnated and people made religions out of them which were perverted and brought them a bad name.

ANTECEDENTS TO SAHAJA YOGA

 

ANTECEDENTS TO SAHAJA YOGA

In the center we had another great movement which is called as Nath, Nathpanthis. They say it came from Shiva, but whatever it is; it came from Adinath and these people and got diverted into many types. But those who remained in the middle, one of them was we should say was called Gahininath and his disciple was Nivritinath the elder brother of Gyanadeva. It is amazing if you read anything about them they know all about chakras, they know all about these all three channels. Everything they knew thousands of years back. Then somehow or other they didn’t tell people. They kept the knowledge to themselves. I can’t say why they did it but they did. Ultimately, Gyanadeva took permission of his Guru Nivritinath and said that let me tell you, at least let me tell others, you allow me because people should know what works it out. So he wrote about Kundalini. But if you read these ancient books, you will be amazed that the whole thing was described in those books how you get your realization and how then you have those centers which are to be enlightened, what problems come in. But the method they employed for achieving it was really hazardous. I don’t know why they had to do it but they did it. They were all unmarried people and very strict with themselves and they had to lead a life very secluded from the society. This was really a very difficult time of ascent they had.

When I read about them I really feel very extremely sad that all these great people who were seeking had to go through such horrible strenuous turmoil for days together and then some of them got realisation.

But you are lucky people I should say to be born at this time. This is a special time, very special time, which is described in all the books, all the scriptures as the last judgment. Now, if you start deciding about it through your mental capacity you cannot achieve anything, because you have only two agencies: one is your conditioning, another is your ego. So one has to rely on the natural gifts that we have, is that of this Kundalini and she is your individual mother; she does not want to torture you, she does not want in any way to give you any pains, whatsoever.

Heart Diseases

 

Heart Diseases

“Now a person who does not have this fourth dimension [the parasympathetic]will not know that he is suffering from some heart trouble. He will have no idea. He will never feel his heart or anything – till he suddenly gets the attack, and then he dies. But at the very onset of it a person who is in the fourth dimension, that is, a realised soul, can feel that something is going wrong with his heart. Also he knows how to cure himself – the technique of curing himself. Also he knows that he is the source of the medicine that he has to give – is a vital thing.”

(The Fourth Dimension and the parasympathetic: talk for doctors. Brighton 26/7/84. Nirmala Yoga no.26)

[Heart attacks] “Cause: Over-active, inactive or lethargic heart. Overactive heart is of right sided people. In such cases, the heart can collapse. Especially it can happen in very young age. This is because their attention is too much outside. Due to this, their Atma departs. The Atma gets no attention, due to their extreme materialistic nature. Overactivity can also come from too much worry about the family, and thinking too much of the future. The heart starts to pump more blood, and over works itself. It gets tired. In addition, the attention is not on the spirit.

For lethargic hearts, these people take all kinds of mantras and first spoil their Left Vishuddhi. They take tobacco and cigarette, creating a problem on their Left Vishuddi. This makes the pumping of the heart difficult, and so it becomes tired, because it cannot pump. Due to extreme Left Vishuddhi, the lethargic heart gives you Angina.

Those are the two types of heart attacks.

The first type can be cured by putting ice on the stomach and on the heart on the right side. Also move from left to right. Sit in water. Do not use light at all. Sleep in darkness, stay more indoors. Take full rest. And repeat that “I am the spirit”. “O Lord, please forgive me”.

The second type can be cured by asking him to say – “Mother you are my beej mantra. You are the mantrika”. Also “I am not guilty”, and say “I forgive everybody Lord”. So that all the hurts disappear. Use light and fire to clear the left side.”

(Shivaratri 1987)

“Now according to Sahaja Yoga we have two types of heart attacks, one is massive heart attack, the other is lethargic like Angina.

So the first one, which is massive one, is where that heat [from the liver] reaches the heart. Say there is a boy who is playing tennis at the age of 21 or 22 and drinking also and competing with his father. If you continue this kind of things may be you might get one day a massive heart attack, specially the industrialist. Industrialists are so futuristic, so much calculative that they don’t calculate that

this will entail their heart problems. So this heart suddenly collapses and they die.

Another one is lethargic heart attack like angina, and happens if you feel guilty. Some people are very sensitive and very formal type and you know they feel guilty, ‘I should have done this’. ... For anything they start feeling guilty. Not only you develop spondylitis, you develop a situation where your heart cannot pump blood properly. That is the angina.”

(New Delhi talk to doctors 6/4/97. Transcript in New Delhi Medicos 13(4-5):32-34)

Laxmi and Lotus

 

" The Lakshmi came out of the sea; that is the wealth that has come out of the sea. But the wealth has to be like a Lakshmi. The Lakshmi has a motherly nature. She’s a mother. She’s a mother. She is standing on a lotus. That means She does not throw her weight anywhere. Like people go and occupy other territories and use them for their own purpose will never give them Lakshmi principle. Only thing that may happen to them is to get some money for the time being. But they say Lakshmi is chanchal; means She is all the time shifting and she shifts. Such a Lakshmi is chanchal, is shifting.

Lakshmi has got one hand which is giving, like this. Another hand She has got by which She protects people. In two hands She has got pink lotuses. The pink lotus suggests the warmth. A person who has got Lakshmi has to have warmth in his household. He must have in his heart warmth to receive people. A lotus flower receives even a horrible beetle, black beetle which has got all kinds of thorns in it and allows it to sleep overnight as a nice guest. In the corona of the lotus there is beautiful spread of the yellow coloured pollen on which this beetle rolls and enjoys the comfort.

And the lotus watches the enjoyment of the beetle. It does not get disturbed. It does not get upset and when the lotus opens out, the beetle just goes away. And the lotus still grows, it doesn’t die out.

In modern life, we don’t want guests and if some guests come in the house they dare not even spoil the carpet. We clean the house; we polish all our silver and all our brass, but we don’t want even a little rat to come inside. For whom are we doing all this work? There are no children in the house and the old people are in the old house. Children are in the hostels. And the husband, wife are in the divorce case. But they are very particular about their brass being polished. So the whole polish has come outside.

So the beauty of lotus flower is that it is all embracing. It’s a very motherly principle. It tolerates any type of nonsense from the beetle. So, one of the aspects of Mahalakshmi is Gruhalakshmi: is the one who is the housewife. And if this aspect is spoiled, then we cannot have Lakshmi in our house; we cannot have wealth in our house. The Lakshmi will disappear from all such houses where the housewife is not respected or the housewife is not respectable. "

Enlightenment of Nabhi Chakra makes you Righteous

 

QUALITIES OF NABHI CHAKRA- RIGHTEOUS

Enlightenment of nabhi chakra, third center, makes the person Righteous. We donot have to tell him anything. He becomes a real saint. He will not do anything wrong.

Now above that is the, you see the third center. which is called as Nabhi, means the navel. This is the center of the way we absorb the virtues, or the virtues are enlightened. When this center is enlightened we really become righteous. We don’t have to tell, “Now you don’t do this and don’t do that”. You just become. Like a saint, a real saint, will not do wrong things. In the same way when a person gets his Realization, by the virtue of this center, he becomes absolutely balanced: balanced with his family life, with his wife, with his children, balanced with the politics, economics, balanced with the society, balanced with all the people whom he knows; in a very balancing way he starts behaving. There’s not one-sided activity. For example, somebody may be very much attached to the wife and may try to harm others. Somebody who is very much attached to others, may harm his wife. So a kind of a balance is established by this, and a person who gets this develops a personality which we call as regal. That sense of dignity comes into such a person. Now you see our children have lost the virtues, our children don’t have that regalty. They have become very cheapish also, and they run after materialism and things like that; they fight for small, small things. It’s not only children, even the grown-ups are like that and they try to waste their energy, fighting for something that is so useless.

So by enlightenment of this center you understand the value of matter. And the value of matter is this: that it has aesthetics, first of all, and secondly, you can express your love only through matter. If you love somebody you’ll give them something, a little flower also can express your love. Anything can express your love through matter, and then you become a very generous and very enjoyable person. Some people feel that if you become generous, you will be bankrupt. It’s not so. On the contrary, if you open one door, no air will come in, but if you open the other door, all the air will start circulating. In the same way, when a person is generous he starts getting so many blessings – because he is also connected with the Divine – that he is amazed. He doesn’t know what to do with the things that he has got, and then he starts pouring it to others. There are so many things people are telling Me about, miracles and miracles of even material things in their jobs, in their purchasing, in their shopping, the way they have seen miracles happening that it is nothing but just that this center is enlightened. And with this center, within you a righteousness comes in. And this righteousness doesn’t force anybody else, it’s just righteousness itself which doesn’t command anything or demand anything, but it becomes a respectable personality, and you just start really understanding that, “Look at this man”.

Somebody was telling Me today that in the office people asked, “How are you so dignified?” He said, “I didn’t know I was so dignified.” “No, you don’t do anything undignified, and you do everything just like a child also”. So there’s a child-like dignity you develop, and it’s a beautiful thing to happen, really it’s angelic.
