Feel Peaceful within Yourself

"You have to work it out that you should feel peaceful within yourself. It is not that if you have too much of silence outside, you feel peaceful. The peace has to be within yourself. You have it. Your Spirit is absolutely peaceful – ‘avyagra’, without restlessness. There is no restlessness in your Spirit. Absolutely peaceful and steady. It is for you to feel it. It is not for anybody else to certify you. This is one thing.

Secondly, when I am telling you something, you think I am not telling you. It doesn’t register in your brain. You think I am telling it to X, Y, Z but not to you. You are not in it. That’s another sign [that] there is no peace. Because there is no peace, there is no registration. Whatever goes into your head, that is going to work out. But what I find [is] that people [who] have concave personalities, then they receive it. Those who have convex personalities, do not register anything . The registration is so poor that whatever I say doesn’t have any effect on them. Otherwise, whatever I say is a mantra. It should have direct effect on you, and you should feel that effect, that penetration within you. But as if it is for somebody else, as if it is not for you. This shows there is no peace within you. Only the peace within can register whatever is auspicious, whatever is nourishing for your growth. So try to make peace with yourself. Do not fight with yourself, “Why should I do it?”, “I am so bad!”, “I should not have done it!” – all these we should not do. Try not to fight with yourself, first of all."

We have to drop out many things

"So today is the day which is called the Ekadasha which is going to bring the transformation. When you are transformed so many things are automatically destroyed within you.

As you can see very clearly that all your misidentifications drop out; the misidentification that I’m a Jew, American, Christian, I’m this, I’m that. All these false misidentifications drop out and you become a naked human being, first of all you are a human being, and then a superhuman being – without the ego. So, your ego is destroyed, your superego is destroyed, your conditionings are all destroyed and all your false ideas about knowledge are destroyed. So what remains and emerges is reality.

Now when you see a flower becomes the fruit, everything practically drops out of the flower, we can say. Like the calyx is dropped out, then the petals are dropped out and then the epicalyx is also dropped out, but what remains is the seed actually, if you see. Around the seed all these things developed and the fruit remains, the rest of it drops out.

So in us also, whatever becomes the Spirit remains, the rest drops out, and that is what it is when we call it the Ekadasha which brings forth the transformation, and one has to understand – we have to drop out many things."

Mataji- sakshat Mahakali takes care of your worries. You need not worry

 

"How can you be worried when your Mother is sakshat Mahakali? She's the One who relaxes you, because She takes over all your responsibilities, She takes over all your problems. She's the One who solves all the problems. It is we who forget to leave all the problems to Her. If you just leave problems to Her, all your problems are solved. Not only that but you really feel blessed. It's not only physical, also it is mental, that She makes your mind absolutely free of worries.

She doesn't worry and She doesn't want you to worry. If you worry then She tries to show that by your worrying you are denying Her, you are not accepting Her. Worrying is something is very common, and people take great pride in saying, 'Oh, I was worried.' How can you be worried when your Mother is sakshat Mahakali? She can kill all the demons, She can finish all of them, She knows how to manage things; and when you are like a child before Her, how can you worry about it? So your worries are finished.

She worries about you, you shouldn't worry about yourself. That's the point of it. Her security is so great, She's so secure Herself that She gives you all the security that you need. You can hold on to Her Feet, you can hold on to Her image or to anything. You can even pray to Her. Many people are being cured only by praying to Her, because She cures you. She can cure your diseases which are very complicated diseases, She can cure."

Shree Mataji Nirmala Devi - 17 October 1999, extract from Navaratri Puja talk, Cabella, Italy.

The Power of Healing, Knowledge and Intelligence

“The Power of Healing, Knowledge and Intelligence.”

..When this Kundalini rises, when this power, this residual power within us rises, it integrates all these subtle centers. Now these subtle centers on the physical side also look after our plexuses, on the mental side also they look after them. So as it rises, nourishes them, integrates them and then connects it, connects it up to the mains. So all the time this energy starts flowing up. Now this energy has at least three powers. First power by which it comforts you. Comforting means your sickness – many incurable diseases can be cured by this. There are three doctors in Delhi now, have got their M.D. in sahaja yoga for curing..diseases like Asthma, like psychosomatic diseases and things like that…

So, this power of healing, the comfort, comes through the nourishment of these subtle centers within us. And that’s how, so many of people, so many people who have suffered from incurable diseases, have been cured with the awakening of the Kundalini. I don’t have to do anything, it’s your own, it’s within yourself. Only thing, an enlightened candle can enlighten another candle – in the same way it works. Now then, you have another beautiful uh.. present from this awakening is that, all your mental problems are solved. So many people who were mentally harassed, who were schizophrenic and all kinds of problems of the mental depressions and all that, they got cured. But we do not say that everybody will be cured, most of them do get cured and gradually they settle down.

You’ll be surprised, there’re many cases of Blood Cancer which have been cured. But that’s not the main job of sahaja yoga – is not to cure people otherwise I better go to the hospitals and work it out. But the main job is to awaken the Kundalini, so that you become the spirit and once you become the spirit these things work out gradually. And then you become empowered yourself, that you can raise the Kundalini of others and can deal with them. Then, within us lies our own peace. You must have heard of so many peace foundations and people getting Nobel prizes for peace – they have no peace within themselves. They make peace foundations where they talk about peace. Talking about peace doesn’t bring forth any peace at all. You have to be peaceful within and the transformation of a human being is needed for achieving that state of complete peace. And then you become a witness – witness of everything like a drama you see everything – you’re not bothered.

Just look what is happening outside – you’re not disturbed by that. On the contrary you’re much better placed to solve the problems because you’re out of it and you can see them so clearly and you can solve them. So, it makes you extremely dynamic and then you become enlarged – pure love ,compassion, extremely compassionate. But last of all you become joy. When we become joy it cannot be described because it is only joy, it’s absolute. It is not happiness and unhappiness, it is joy and that joy is to be enjoyed. Apart from this ,you become a very knowledgeable person because this brain of ours is very partly used by us. But when the light of the spirit goes into it, you become extremely knowledgeable and you become very, in a way, very intelligent, I would say – you see the point very clearly, you become very wise and sensible. All these traits are very fantastic to ask because you can’t believe it – how can this happen? But it does happen, I must say, it does happen and because it’s your own, it’s within you.

I mean, I’m doing nothing about it, I should say – it just works out because you have not known what you are! Just you have to discover yourself, that’s what is sahaja yoga. …

I would say that your Kundalini knows everything about you, and She knows everything and She judges you – you don’t have to worry about that point. She is the surgeon and She knows what is to be done. So you don’t have to worry and you don’t have to certify yourself. Only thing is, that you must know that you must have committed some mistakes, so it’s all right, you’re a human being, you’re not God.

If you have made mistakes, doesn’t matter, don’t feel guilty…On the contrary you have to be very confident about yourself. You are a human being an epitome – epitomy of the evolution – the top-most people.

Seeking with Open Eyes

 

SEEKING WITH OPEN EYES

But also that a seeker has to use his brains and must understand, what he is seeking. If we just blind folded go to these gurus, then what can one do about it? It’s very sad, because they are so naive, they must understand what we are seeking, what we are expecting, and what should happen to us.

Now, some people don’t understand that you cannot pay for God. You have not paid anything for becoming a human being. He doesn’t understand money. Money is created only by human beings. God has not created money. He doesn’t understand money at all. You cannot purchase God, you cannot purchase this knowledge, you cannot purchase your realisation. None of the things that are related with God, can be purchased with money. Anybody who tries to take money from you, in the name of God, is a parasite. Not only a parasite, but I would say a person who is anti-God. Because that is how he is maligning the name of God. It cannot be purchased, it cannot be sold, it cannot be organised, it cannot be manoeuvred.

We cannot have an organisation of God. We cannot organise Him. He is the way He is. We cannot tell Him now, “You come along every Sunday to our church”. He won’t. It is His desire, if He wants to do it or if He doesn’t want to do it. The only thing that binds God is love, dedication and truthfulness. If you are truthful, if you are dedicated, then God is interested in you. If you are not, He is not at all interested in people, who are seeking not God but something else.

Shiva protects those who are forgiving and tolerant

 

" But the real spirituality, if you have, the protection will be always there, and Shiva will be very blissful.

He’s extremely blissful. And what He has given you is even more beautiful than you could think of. He’s extremely forgiving. I should say He is the source of forgiveness.

If you have forgiveness in your heart, He resides in your heart. Otherwise, gradually, you start developing very difficult types of diseases.

If you are forgiving, your heart runs very fast. No one can touch your heart. You cannot get heart attacks. But if you are tolerating, suffering and taking many things as a power of your own, doing wrong things and forgetting about God, then you also start developing a very weak heart. So one side is that you develop a heart which is extremely aggressive, and can become like Hitler’s heart. Under any kind of pretensions if you start torturing someone your heart becomes solid and then you can get a tremendous massive heart-attack, and all the troubles from that. This is inevitable.

But supposing you are extremely tolerant and you tolerate all nonsense, you are very docile, you are a frightened person. If you are frightened, then because of fright you do that, you can develop another kind of a heart [which] we call as angina where the blood supply is there, and ultimately you develop a kind of a guilt and you lead a very mediocre life.

So this second thing also is very visible among people who think they are very, very tolerant. I am saying that tolerance is alright because of Spirituality, but not because you are frightened, and you are afraid of something. If you are a Sahaj Yogi you have no business to be afraid of anything. In India people are afraid of everything! If they can see a squirrel they will be frightened! If they see a lizard – finished! I mean they are afraid of anything and the ladies in India are so afraid of even cockroaches! This kind of temperament is absolutely stupid, because that makes you a kind of a person who is prone to angina. What is there to be afraid of? If you are a Sahaj Yogi and Sahaj Yogini, you are not to be afraid of anything. They are afraid of rats! All kinds of nonsense. And they boast of it, and they talk about it. Here the heart is becoming weaker and weaker and weaker....

He’s very kind, and He looks after the people who are suffering. And He tries to punish people who make them suffer. It is His quality to help by destroying people who are aggressive. He doesn’t talk of Kundalini, He doesn’t talk of Self-realisation, He just punishes them nicely, in such a bad way that it’s shocking! And He relieves sometimes people like…I have seen many women who live like this, suffer so much: they die much earlier than their age.

All this one has to see in the right perspective. He’s there to protect, of course, but more to destroy. He protects all kinds of animals, all birds. All the nature He protects. He’s the one who brings all the joy, all the joy of spirituality. But if you try to become aggressive, then He is the one who will destroy. "
