Shri Amba protects you provides all comforts, peace,

 

Shri Amba and left side...........

Today we are going to worship the Devi; we call Her Amba, and by many other names. She is the last, we should say the residual Power. When She has done everything, She becomes the Kundalini and settles in the triangular bone of yours. This is the Mooladhara Chakra. But actually She is expressed more on the left side, because that time She is purely the Amba.

This left side is a very, very important thing for all the human beings. If you have no left side you cannot balance yourself, to begin with. And it is said that She gives you a real personality of a Sahaja yogi. That is, your left side if it is weak, then you have to worship Her and request Her that 'Please enrich our left side.' By enriching your left side, what She does – She is a Comforter, so what does She give you? First of all She makes you rest. It’s said that She makes you rest; that is, She makes you sleep.

If you are too much thinking about future and you are so much indulging into the futuristic planning, you have some problems. But the best thing is if you can sleep then it’s a great comfort, it’s a very great comfort to you that you can sleep and that you can take some rest. Without Her you cannot sleep; absence of Her, you cannot sleep. So sleeping is a very important function of the body which is brought forth by the left side. That’s why we worship Her, because She should give us rest.

She’s the one who gives you peace. She’s the one who gives you also illusions, called as bhranti. She gives you all the artistic talents. She protects you. But this part that is She is creating illusions for you, that’s very, very important; because those people who are against Divine, who are trying to be away from the reality, She creates illusions for them. So She separates you from those people, while you know the reality; and all such people who are troubling or trying to destroy Her work, She is the one who creates illusions. She is the one who resides as the Kundalini. So we can say that part of Her is the Kundalini, but another part that She has is the one which resides in the left side.

Now there are seven levels which She resides. Once you start enjoying Her on the first level, then She has all these qualities described to you: that She’s peace, She’s the one who gives you love, She’s the one who creates all the beautiful things for you. She is the Mother. And what She expects you is to enjoy Her protection, enjoy Her love and be always under Her complete protection. So this is a very important part of Her work.

And the second one is that She is the Kundalini. So She also acts on seven levels. Seven levels She moves, we can say horizontally, and seven levels She moves upward. And all these seven levels on both the sides, She does tremendous work for us. How She protects us through these seven levels is like this, that when you start going towards the left side there are seven deities which try to throw you back into normalcy. They are Shankhini, Dakini – these are the names. And by that you try to come to normal conditions. ...

So at one time She’s the one who is peace-giving, She’s the one who looks after you, protects you, and She’s the one who saves you from psychosomatic diseases. It’s a very powerful entity. If She was not there I don’t know what would have happened. So we should worship Her within ourselves, we should respect Her and understand Her. She is your Mother. As Kundalini She is your particular Mother. She is the one, Amba, who gives you your second birth. And as the left-side Goddess She gives you a very good support in your ascent, very good support in your ascent. Without Her you could not balance yourself. ...

Now as Sahaja yogis you have to develop your discrimination of understanding what others are; also about yourself. Why do you hanker after things? Try to understand. What is so great about it, why do you want to do it? Question yourself. Is it some possession, is it some fashion, or is it your individual feeling?

So, I’m trying to tell you that this left side of yours is so protective. At the same time if you are very aggressive about your left side, you are thrown from one to another to another, down into hell. And then you suffer. So you must understand, your wisdom should be there, which you can develop very much with the help of the left side. Wisdom can be very well developed.

Properties and Priorities of a realised soul are different

 

" As soon as you become a realized soul, you have to know that your properties and your priorities are very different. Your property is your Spirit and your priorities are where you can manifest your Spirit and can feel the Spirit of others. So the whole concept that was so far obstructing you and limiting your understanding changes into an unlimited area where you start thinking of the Spirit.

Now in that concept of the Spirit, the property of the Spirit is twofold. One in its nature, the nature of the Spirit is, as we call it, sat chit ananada, means it is the joy. Then it’s the truth. It tells you the truth all the times. It gives you discretion, Divine discretion, and chit, the attention that acts, that works, that gives you all the information. So you have got the nature of the Spirit thus felt within yourself. But on the other side, what does it want or what are its duties or why to be the Spirit is? Such questions arise later on when we are about to enter into the Kingdom of God. Why to enter into the Kingdom of God? So in outside and, we can say, all the manifestations of the Spirit is, that it is benevolent. It is hita cari. It gives benevolence to others. It gives you benevolence and it gives benevolence to others, also. The only joy in that is benevolence. And you think of all these material things, which are so important otherwise, as if they are for giving it to someone just to express your love. So the benevolence that comes through love, benevolence doesn’t come through oppression or suppression or by intimidation but it comes only through love, and if you have faith in your love you can work it out.

Sometimes it seems, many people have asked Me, “Mother, why so many saints have suffered and they had to undergo so much of torture?” Actually they never get tortured. They just played the game. They just want to see how far the stupid people can go. "

The Doctrine of Veda

 

The doctrines of Veda

When you get your Atma-sakshatkara first thing happens, that you feel the cool breeze coming out of your head.

Then you feel completely Nirvichar – first is nirvichar samadhi is established, then you feel the cool breeze in your hand – all over you can feel the cool breeze; This is the beginning. Sometimes you do feel little heat because it’s liver problem, other diseases, then you might feel little heat but after sometime you start feeling the cool breeze. Then you must use. By using this you’ll be satisfied that you have got these powers. One may go to samadhi and have bliss there …You see, Veda declared ‘Satyam Gyanam Anantam’; these are the doctrines of Veda. – That’s why, that’s why – Satya is Truth, Gyana is knowledge, Ananta means endless. This is Your state. When this is the state in the state of samadhi, one have, have a little amount of bliss while in samadhi. – When he comes back, when he comes back, you’ll have to undergo the prarabhda..

It means you have read too much but not felt anything – that’s why but now either your prarabhda and your karmas all these things can be sucked in by Kundalini – She’s so powerful. How She sucks in that there’s the Agnya chakra – you see there…. today you want to know, I’ll tell you, that on the left hand side is the Ida Nadi, the right hand side is the Pingala Nadi. Ida nadi is the power of our desire and take us to our subconscious and collective subconscious. The right side is the Pingala Nadi which caters to our supra-conscious and collective supra-conscious – the future. Now, left side is the one which is the Ichcha shakti, is the power of desire and the another one, that’s the Pingala Nadi, is the one is the reaction. So, when you’re doing something and you feel you are doing it, doing …then that ego accumulates and forms an institution, as you see there, on your head. Here all the conditionings – the kusanskaras – also form another institution which is called as superego but you can say mana, so we have two things. On one side is the superego, another is the ego. They cross each other at Agnya.

When the Kundalini rises, then She sucks these two things by which your prarabhda, your karmas, are sucked in. It actually happens because when these two are joined, this fontanel bone area becomes a calcified but then the Kundalini rises, they open out like this. The limbic area is in between this…It opens out like that and when it pierces through that, you get your Self-realization. But it cannot pierce through unless and until sucked in. It sucks in quite a lot in the first beginning but later on it goes on sucking more and more so you become ego-less and all your prarabhdas and karmas are sucked in; That’s the work of Kundalini – She does it. It’s not question of how much you have read. It’s the question of experiencing – you must experience. ..

Becoming Capable Instruments

 

BECOMING CAPABLE INSTRUMENTS

First I used to say, “Count your blessings” because that was the best way to make people understand that there are blessings in Sahaj Yoga. Now I would say, “Count your deeds.” What have you done for Sahaj Yoga? Sahaja Yoga has done so much for you. To say that Paramchaitanya will look after is absolutely absurd. If Paramchaitanya could do everything, why should it create human beings? One Adam and Eve were sufficient. You have to do it. Unless and until you become deep, it cannot trigger. It is helpless. It’s only through you it is going to work out.

Now if there is no instrument, electricity cannot work, can it? Now you should say, “The electricity itself must come before me and must do everything.” You have to have the instrument and you are the instrument and if you do not want to do it, how can Paramchaitanya do it? It will be something like saying, as I told you, that “Let electricity do the job, we will not have any instrument.” Can I work it out? Can you work it out?

So Paramchaitanya has its own style. It can only work if you people want to work it out. It’s an energy and you are the instrument. But the instrument is more busy with the job, with the family, I don’t know, all kinds of nonsensical things. Now supposing this instrument, which is meant for My lecture, forgets what it is and acts like a ladle in the kitchen because it’s fond of food, say, for example, then what’s the use of making this useless instrument. It doesn’t do what it has to do. It doesn’t know what it has been made for. It has no purpose at all. It’s such a useless stuff.

So I feel there’s a kind of a lethargy, a kind of a very subtle lethargy working out, could be like this that, “We’ve done our job. Let the young people do it now.” You are matured and the mature have to do the job. “We have done our level best.” What have you done so far?

So much to be done still. And somehow or other, I don’t know, we have to touch that area where such people remain like yesterday’s player. He is not doing God’s work. He’s an artist and he’s working so hard to achieve perfection. He will get the same amount whether he’s perfect or not, but he’s practising at home, he’s listening to it, he’s trying to develop it, all the time working it out so that his performance should be excellent. So he’s seeking an excellence. Mediocrity has no place in Sahaja Yoga. Only through excellence you’ll enjoy. Only through excellence you will really become Sahaja Yogis.

Nobody can attack You, You are under complete Divine Protection

 

" This is what it is for us to understand, that for a person who is detached he can never be attacked.

We are attacked by so many we have. Firstly our family, then our country, then our religion, then all kinds of thing, racialism. All these identifications really make us weak, because they attack us all the time and put confusion into the minds of Sahaja Yogis, I have seen.

The reason is, you must have confidence in Sahaja Yoga and confidence in yourself, that you are on the right path and that you are now saved, and nobody can attack you because you have the complete protection of the Divine.

People may follow any religion, they may follow any guru, they may follow anything, but they have fear all the time that we’ll be attacked, and they’re afraid to say things, which they should say. They have no discretion even to know what is to be said.

With the proper understanding that you are the pure Spirit, if you believe in that then you’ll be surprised that you will be very confident about what you are doing. "

Our EXISTANCE is LORD SHIVA

 

Our existstance is Lord Shiva..............

God Shiva is existence. And this is the first form which emerges into all these forms. Like the seed emerges into the whole tree and becomes the seed, and ultimately at the dissolution point also it becomes Shiva. That is why it is known as Shiva, means the permanent form. It doesn’t go into any formations. It doesn’t incarnate. It is a witness which watches. That’s the aspect of God. So you have got three aspects of God. The first one which is the Shiva, which is the existence, the second one which is the creator, which is Brahmadeva and the third one which is Vishnu, which is the sustenance, which evolves, which gives evolutionary movement, which incarnates, which has incarnated ten times.

Talk on Chakras and Deities, Delhi, 1977

So I would like to give you a little idea about this picture that we have in front of us. Now whom we call as God Almighty, the One who is eternal, who doesn’t incarnate, who is all the time there watching the play of His power, the Primordial Mother, is manifested through Her Power into His three aspects here, clearly, within ourselves and within the Primordial Being who is the ultimate which all the created people have to reach. Now theres a difference between the two, the Almighty - God, as you call Him, the One who never incarnates, and the One who incarnates on this earth and occupies a position like this, just like a human being, and He's called as a Primordial Being or you can say the Virata. You can call Him the Virat. Actually, though He's called as Primordial Being, He's an aspect of God. So these are two things if you understand, I will be able to explain to you how the aspects of God are expressed in us.

So the first aspect of God is His desire to create, His desire to create and in His desire to create. ... So His desire to manifest, His desire to create, that's the aspect within us which is represented by this blue-colored line which is called as the Adi Ida Nadi, or you can call it the primordial Ida channel by which He desires. Now as the desire can be born and can be finished off, can be switched off, in the same way, His desire to create also can be over. His desire to create any more may be over. His desire not to create for the time being could be there. So if you understand your desires, you can understand His desire also to create and thats why when He does not desire to have it anymore, the creation He can destroy.

So He is the One through which we exist and through which we are destroyed, too. So He’s the One who manifests existence and destruction of creation. That’s why He is called as Destroyer. This aspect is represented by the principle of Shiva, which never incarnates because this principle is the one which is the germ, which is the beginning and which the end of everything. Like a seed becomes the seed ultimately, in the same way this Shiva tattwa, this principle of Shiva, germinates, creates and then it again becomes the same principle. That’s why the principle of Shiva never changes. It is called as Shiva, means it is permanent, it is eternal.

The Reason of Allergies

 

The reason of Allergies.........

“They [ie. left sided people] also get the lethargic liver which gives them allergies. All kinds of allergies come to these people through their lethargic liver.”

(Sickness and its cure, New Delhi, 9/2/1983. Nirmala Yoga no.25)

“Now, why the child has an allergy? …Left Nabhi will catch, now that means the mother, because the child is not yet married, so is the mother. That means mother must be having a left Nabhi herself. And that is why the child must be catching with that allergy. So instead of punishing the child, why not cure the left nabhi of the mother and left nabhi of the child. … What can we do to help the child get rid of it? Very simple. Anything that is left can be taken out on the little flame. Put your right hand on the left Nabhi of the child and your left hand to the flame and, finished.”

(Rahuri Q&A 13/1/1986)

Question: Why does cow’s milk make allergies and eczema worse? “Cow’s milk. Left side. Cow’s milk always gives you the left side, because she is the Mother. And you should not have cow’s milk because it is the left side. Whether it is cow’s milk or buffalo’s milk, all will give you allergies, but if you have animals which are smaller than you, like if you can drink, like Mahatma Gandhi, goat’s milk, you might not have the problem.”

(Rahuri Q&A 13/1/1986)

“Most allergies are caused from cold to hot, ie. taking bath in cold water and then hot water. To take coffee and then immediately take cold water. This sudden change, the system cannot adjust to. In the left Nabhi area is the spleen. The spleen is a speedometer and also an adjuster. When it adjusts and it is not properly done due to sudden change, it causes problem. So it has to suddenly provide its energies to either increase or decrease the flow of the red blood corpuscles. That’s how the spleen goes crazy.”
