Put Boundaries to your attention to have Depth

 

The second point is your attention should have that gravity. Your attention is very important. A person who is easily disturbed is not a deep person. Or easily taken to something like say emotions or easily to some other say intellectual pursuit. As gurus there will be temptations. People will be challenging, if a person comes out with a very big intellectual fleet or something like that. Then immediately you’ll feel challenged about it and you say, “All right let me handle the situation”. Handle it at the Sahaja Yoga point, on your gravity. Just sit down on your gravity and see to ittself. Immediately you will know how to handle the situation. You need not talk to that person, you’ll handle the situation all right. Not on intellectual level but on your gravity.

The attention has the gravity; it pulls down the ego and the superego of other people. Then you will not be frustrated offright. Also if you can start from the outside it may work out in human beings; it works out. Like study your behaviour how you behave towards others. Or study your attention how it behaves towards outside – what attracts your attention? What attracts your attention? Study your attention, by that study you will be able to fix your attention in its maryada – in its boundaries. Once you put the boundaries to the attention then the depth starts developing. The person who has no boundaries can never have depth, he will be spreading just like that, always, no depth at all. So you have to put boundary by understanding your attention, that no not more than that, all right not more than that."

Mothers Day Message

 

I am your Mother and I will tell you the truth.

You should not accept the slavery of anyone, whatsoever. You all have to become your own guru. This is what Sahaja Yoga is....

You become so powerful that you do not hurt anyone, nor can anyone hurt you.

But best of all, the highest is that you become the joy. The joy is an absolute quality. You believe in the world of relativity – relative, but you become the source of absoluteness.

This joy neither gives you happiness and unhappiness because these two qualities are the two faces of one coin. This joy is beyond all such feelings and you become a witness of the whole drama and enjoy the whole joke as a play.

You have to be Spirit - Joyous and Happy

 

Because of so many pressures on us and so many norms we’ve got, which are artificial, and we think only if outside we are alright, it’s alright; but Truth flowing from within is so joyous. You feel your capacity to love itself is so joyous, and capacity to give is also so joyous. So the Shiva Puja meant that you become love and feel the joy of love. You see when you love someone, if you love your child, you’re not bothered as to how it looks or how it appears, you just love. And if you try to be attentive to somebody because his appearance is good or he’s superficially good, or his manners are good, after some time you’ll be deceiving yourself. But if your inner being is beautiful then you will be happy with yourself first of all; because the source of joy is from within yourself. You do not get it from others.

So to cleanse yourself and to be open is the best way to enjoy life. Some people may laugh at you, some may make fun of you, some may try to trouble you; but most of them will love you, because you are so pure, and you will be yourself at peace with yourself. So the best thing is to have introspection to see yourself, whether you are Love or not. Like some people are conditioned and they want that this should be like this that should be like this, it should have been there, we should do this we should do that, we should organise like this, we should cook like this; I mean conditionings are there that according to them that’s something good. And if that doesn’t happen then they are unhappy. And some are right sided egoistical, they want to dominate others, if they cannot dominate then they are unhappy, they are angry. So they are miserable, so they make others miserable also. So the first type which is left sided makes himself miserable, while the second type makes others miserable: but both are wrong. You have no business to make yourself miserable, because God has created you to be joyous and happy.

So one should only know that you have to be the Spirit. So all these conditionings will drop out, ego will drop out. But when we talk of Spirit we always think of something very dry. No it’s not at all, it is absolutely Love, Spirit is Love. You can say the light of Spirit is Love. So it is important to understand that it’s the love only that is emitting from your heart that will give joy to you. Look at other people as you have to give them love. You’ll feel very powerful and the ‘bhoots’ and all the ‘badhas’ will run away. Once you decide that I have to just love others, all the conditioning will drop out.

Real Religion in spirit oriented, not money or power oriented

 

The nature of the Spirit.”

Our religion stays outside, we remain outside. It has no control over us because the self-control is only our ego that controls. But the Self-control, means the control of the Spirit, is not there. Unless and until you become the Spirit and the Spirit comes into your attention, when you are completely enlightened then you just don’t do wrong; you cannot think of these things; you just, you become righteous automatically because you are in the light. Without the light within, in the darkness you cannot achieve that – whatever is promised….

We have to have this world full of peace, full of joy, full of friendship and brotherhood. That’s what we have come to. Now we have reached that point we don’t want to have any more wars. …

Either these religions have become money-oriented or have become what you can call the power-oriented. They are not Spirit-oriented. Let them become Spirit-oriented. None of them are Spirit-oriented. If you are just power-oriented or money-oriented then it will create problems. But still they think they are doing well, they are alright…Then we have lots of games connected with money. Then the power game is going on. How can these organisations be one with any government, with anything like that? What has government to do?

Only it is God’s government. It is his kingdom we should seek. Once you get into that kingdom you automatically become legal. You don’t have to read any laws, nothing; you become legal automatically because you become so righteous you don’t want to do anything wrong. But supposing they want to crucify you, they can. I mean, that’s different because they are crazy people. But otherwise it’s such a wonderful life…

I’ll tell you about the Spirit, the nature of the Spirit. The first nature of the Spirit is this: that when it manifests in your attention then your attention becomes enlightened and you can feel on your central nervous system this all-pervading power about which I told you yesterday which is the divine power which does all the living work; it’s the living God and his living Power. First time you start feeling – cool or hot breeze like waves flowing into your hands. That should happen. This is first things that happens when you become the Spirit, means the awakening takes place.

Then secondly you become absolutely thoughtlessly aware: thoughts cannot bombard you anymore. Because as you have seen here there is one side is your conditionings and another side is your ego, that covers …. Now, it is in between in the limbic area, in medical terminology it’s limbic area but we call it as Sahasrara – means “one thousand petals”. Now what happens: that when this centre – Agnya, that is the centre of Christ – when it is awakened, means Christ is awakened, it goes like this and this is sucked in inside that Agnya chakra. So you become thoughtlessly aware: means there is thought which just goes away. One thought rises and falls, again thought rises, falls and we are jumping on the cusp of the thoughts. But when this happens you are no more in the future and the past from where the thoughts come in but you are in centre – that is, you are in the present. So you can exist in the present…

the ego has gone away and you are connected with the Divine and you are getting all the inspiration from Divine which is the absolute; which is absolute. Because Spirit is the absolute, means you know the absolute truth. There is no difference of opinion between two persons or hundred persons. Whatever they know about others …. What you read, whatever are the precepts become your practices automatically. You don’t have to do it. I don’t have to say, “Don’t do that.”

As a result of this happening first of all, all bad habits drop off. .. But the Spirit when it gives you a complete, perfect idea of truth you just have to know how to overcome or how to correct your own centres. And that Spirit vibrates with this cool breeze. As soon as you are corrected you find all your fingers are flowing alright, it’s working alright and you feel extremely joyous because that is the nature of Spirit that it is joy. It is the ocean of joy. …

It is so wonderful that such a time has come now for all of us to take to our Self. This the way the Last Judgement is going to work out. Last Judgement doesn’t mean that we’ll be weighted; no, it doesn’t mean that. It means this kundalini will rise and she will tell herself what’s wrong with you. Even in Koran it’s written very clearly that when the time of Resurrection will come your hands will speak and they’ll give witness against you. This is what Sahaja Yoga is.

How to keep the Mind in the Soul

 

There are many ways to keep the mind in the soul?

(1) Keep your right hand in left your heart and keep your left hand towards me and repeatedly say twelve times at least mother, I am soul, mother, I am soul.

(2) If you chant seven times from left to right, then your heart gets awakened and after that if you chant the mantra of Lord Shiva, the center of Lord Shiva in your heart will get awakened.

(3) The second thing is that this Brahmarandhra on the Sahastrar is your place of Shiva always, so even if you take care of Brahmarandhra, then also your mind will remain in the soul, Brahmarandhra which is always the place of Shiva. Even if you go, your mind will remain in the soul. In this way, you should do it carefully.

(4) Apart from this, there are many greatness through which you bring your mind in the soul and ask God to pray, pray that, Mother, make us a soul, Mother, let our mind remain in the soul, prayer is a very big thing for a Sahaja Yogi. Such prayer should be done that Mother, give me self-respect, give me Niranand, when this kind of prayer is done, then your mind slowly moves inward because you are beyond, every word is a mantra for you, whatever you say in your every prayer. Fulfillment happens. Those who think that by your grace I have got the soul, they have moved ahead. Yoga should be complete only then your mind can remain in the soul. Yoga is done completely with the soul.

We have to resurrect Ourselves

 

In the history of spirituality, it is one of the greatest days when we find Christ rose from the dead. It is very significant and symbolic that in Sahaja Yoga, also what we have done, is to rise from the dead – into life. It is to be understood that resurrection is the message for all of us, for the whole world. We have to resurrect ourselves. There was no need for Jesus to do that. But He was a model, model of a saint, model of a realised soul, model of a person who came all the way from the heavens to save us.

So this resurrection is also part and parcel of our lives. It is so symbolic, so very symbolic, that we were, in our consciousness, lost people. We had no control over ourselves as to know the way our mind told us to go. We had no balance with the mind and our physical being, no more balance of any kind in life and used to go at random, whichever way we thought was good. There was no wisdom about it.

As it is, Jesus was the incarnation of Shri Ganesha. It’s a very difficult task He has performed. He used to convince people who were absolutely ignorant about spirituality, who just knew about money and nothing else. He came in those days when people had no idea about spirituality at all, at all. But, somehow, it all worked out in such a beautiful manner that people have started understanding that He communicated that resurrection is the important point.

He knew when the resurrection takes place, the kundalini rises and connects you to the Divine Power, which is all-pervading.

Contentment is in the middle path

 

Contentment is in the middle path

Becoming extravagant is not the path to Sahaja Yoga. The path of Sahaja Yoga is in the centre. ..

Sahaja Yoga is not for those who live in slums or palaces. Sahaja Yoga is not for those who despite living in a palace want to get another ten built. Sahaja Yoga is only for such a person, who has contentment in him, one who thinks, ‘I have earned enough and have got enough possessions, a little more for carrying on day-to-day life is all that I need’. One should have contentment. He who lives in a palace but is content is alright for Sahaja Yoga. He who lives in slums and has contentment, he is also okay for Sahaja Yoga. Contentment is in the middle path. When the man is contended, his chakras do not open much and there is no pressure on them.

We have a lot of fantasies about our responsibilities in our minds. Being extreme on this count is against Sahaja Yoga. There is no excess of anything in Sahaja Yoga. That means that whatever is there, you should be frank about it. I am not against anything. Those who want to earn money like mad people, let them earn. Those who want to beg, let them beg. We don’t have to respond to them. But those who want to come into Sahaja Yoga, they should understand that some satisfaction is required.

Those who say, I do not like this at all- who are you to say that?. ‘I don’t like this, I don’t like that’- one who uses such language is not any good for Sahaja Yoga. If someone is vindictive, or tries to be overbearing, just say ‘I don’t care. Where do I have the time for talking to such beggars? Where do I have time for talking to such affluent people or such useless people?’ Only when this happens, Sahaja Yoga can get established, because Sahaja Yoga is a evolutionary path in the centre. Such people, I told you earlier, will be called missing links. When you live in that kingdom, they will be called ‘missing links’, who are extreme. When you will be in the state of evolution, these people will be known as missing links, those who live in extremes.

That is why forgiveness is built in as a cure for this inside a human being. First, you should have contentment and secondly, if you can forgive people, half of your energy is saved. …

Someone who deceives, cheats, pretends, lies and who without realisation gives discourses for money, is committing a very big crime. God will never forgive such people. Whoever does any religious work without getting his self-realisation, he will be a big criminal in the eyes of Paramatma (God) and that is why God will never forgive him. One who makes money in the name of religion in the society, in a temple or a mosque, there is no one more unholy and evil than him.
