You are wearing a Banner of God - You have to be Pure, Clean, Beautiful and Loving People

 

Try to remember-you are wearing the banner of God.”

Yoga is to be established on two points. The sin against the Mother and the sin against the Father. Sin against the Mother is when you do not look after your chastity. Your attention has to be pure and purer and purest. And the sin against the Father is when you try to make money here and there: cut corners and try to save money and run after money and worry about it. Any such enterprise, any such thing: underhand dealings, high hand dealings, anything like that, is the sin against the Father.

You are the people who have started believing, also, that money is not important. So, according to them, if you make some frauds it doesn’t matter, “After all money is not important so what?” And they have reached such conclusions. But in the name of God, to take a single pie is a sin. In the same way, to mishandle even a single pie while dealing with God – be careful, I am telling you! And grace cannot help you there! And this is a very sensitive point. For you it may not be, but for God it is. Those who make money in the name of God are equally bad [as] those who try to do anything to hide money. It’s just the same.

This is the work of God and you have to be pure people, you have to be clean, beautiful, loving people, like children. Christ has said that you have to be like children to be able to enter into the Kingdom of God. But you have entered and you’ll be thrown back!

There is more attention towards gaining more power, like saying mantras after mantras, this, that, just to gain power. What power is this? The power is of innocence and of purity. There is no other power higher than this – of simple innocence and purity. And you know that from me. An innocent person can never be harmed. Try to be humble and ask for innocence to be re-established within you. A cunning man goes a very little way to his doom, very fast. If somebody cheats you it does not matter but if you cheat someone, you will be doubly punished because you are a yogi, you are wearing the banner of God. Try to remember this. I do not think you should….

The Mistake and the Counter Mistake

 

THE MISTAKE AND THE COUNTER-MISTAKE

Part One

We make mistakes. Sometimes we sin. And as we do so, or thereafter, we become aware of it. We know we have done something wrong. It is what it is. A direct mistake that has a specific nature and goes against an innate principle of our divine subtle being.

The counter-mistake though, is often far worse. What is the counter-mistake? Well, our reaction to our primary mistake. Causing a secondary mistake.

We witness our primary mistake and then, react with shame. Feeling we aren't worthy to some degree. We may even stop meditating. We may take Shri Mataji's photo down in our shame. We feel guilty. We may stop the flow of our love and qualities. And so a secondary mistake becomes a response pattern.

Negativity itself often makes great efforts to manipulate our weakness in the primary mistake. But why? It often does it to cause the secondary mistake. Because in the secondary mistake we turn our face away from our ascent. Be it for a few days, a few weeks, or a few years.

We judge. We judge ourselves. Our ego reacts to our super-ego. And it cuts us off.

This is the meaning of part one, of 'The mistake and the counter-mistake'.

Part two and part three are very easy to work out. For they are simply; part two is that same but towards other individuals we judge in the same way. And part three is exactly the same but towards the collective.

The best stance we can have to... Counter the counter-mistake is to be detached enough about our primary mistake and continue with love. And with understanding. Forgiving ourselves and not judging so harshly is the best shield we have. We must be transparent and caring. Patient. And rekindle our persistence to grow deeper into our ascent knowing full well that we Inevitably will make mistakes again.

 

DIVINE LOVE

It is the state of mind one has to achieve. There you do not judge anyone, you don’t judge anyone. You know there is a defect, but you envelope it with your love, make a beautiful pearl out of that. Like the sun shine that is spreading everywhere, it does not see any defects and count the leaves, it just gives and gives and gives. That’s how one has to achieve that state where you just give without consideration of my-my or material considerations and other nonsensical gross methods of approaching it. Allow your heart to melt it, allow love to slip and you are enjoying it, nobody else, you really enjoy it. If others get angry with you so what, if they say anything nonsensical, so what, you are not enjoying them, you are enjoying yourself. This is real love and not a farce.

For love I have to write books. If all the oceans become the ink and the sky becomes paper, I cannot write. It is so beautiful, it is so energy giving, it is so radiant. I cannot tell you how many words one can have for that.

You achieve that love, that ‘s real love not the way human beings describe it. It gives forgiveness that you enjoy. It gives complete confidence; it gives you complete self respect and respect of another person. It is the communication of the Spirit with others, it’s not rational, it may not be logical. We cannot explain how God grace for it. For example an archbishop of black magic gets Realization. I am [?] enamored, I am enamored by the grace. Those who were going to hell are given the beauty of the Self. Can you describe it in human words, you cannot. This is love

What is Sahaja Yoga ??

 

" What is Sahaja yoga?

Sahaja yoga. ‘Saha’ means with you and ‘ja ‘means born. ‘Yog’ means your attention’s union with God ‘s power of love that is spread all around. This occurance itself is called ‘yog’. This is the birth right of every human being. To get it , as the other meaning of ‘Sahaj” is easy, spontaneous. For this, there is proper arrangement within us. There is nobody within whom there is no such arrangement means within your triangular bone which is called ‘Sacrum’ in English language It means that Greeks knew that the triangular bone is sacred, means it is pure. That is why its name is ‘Sacrum’ since eternity. Now this bone In this triangular bone three and half circles the power that is inherent in it, is called Kundalini in Sanskrit.

Within us God has bestowed three more powers too. One of those powers is that we desire. Our power of desire, our everyday work of the power of desire. And another is our power of action. This nourishes our sympathetic nervous system. Its nourishment depends upon these two chakras. First power, with the help of which we desire the channel through which that power is broadcasted is called Ida Nadi. And the other power that gets activated they do the work for the desire they have with their existence and their body that power which we can say is our right sympathetic nervous system. But its name is Pingala Nadi. In this way , there are two channels within us.

Ida and Pingla Nadi. Apart from these there is third channel within us. This is called Sushumna, which is in the center, is called Madhya Marg. Both these powers come from left and right and join like this. And in the center a chakra is made (Showing with Her hands) within the central chakras our physical, mental, intellectual, cultural even our spiritual, all progress is settled. When these chakras get damaged on some account, or their power recedes and is destroyed then we face so many types of degeneration, physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual. This which is built within us is like a great subtle tantra (mechanism). but the difference between tantricks and us is that tantricks don’t know anything about this mechanism and falsely they say that they are tantricks and say ‘we do this , we do that’. But mostly tantricks use Bhoot Vidya. And they mesmerize people with that Bhoot Vidya The same vidya (Knowledge) that we call Pret Vidya, Mashan Vidya etc., there are so many names.

Now the powers that are within us apart from that there is fourth power within us. Till we were not human beings, this fourth power did not evolve. Till then these three powers were implemented and whatever our progress was going on we should say that in our evolution was fully going on with the help of these three powers. For example, first power is ‘power of desire’ second is ‘power of action’. And the third power is which we can say is the cordination of the two or balance or we can say is the middle path. By and by, a human being has reached this state that he in this Kaliyuga is in hassle. Sometimes he follows a wrong path, acts wrongly and in a way destroys himself completely. Secondly, he behaves in such a manner that he becomes very wicked, is full of ego and is very agressive with the people. Its example is let us try to understand that by following both the paths we feel that we are progressing. What is wrong with this, it is good, it is freedom for us.

But it is different to know the tantra of (SAV) We are talking here about tantra of (SAV) First of all, it should be understood that if we knew only truth, knew absolute truth there would have been no disputes of the present. So, something else should be within us and because of which we will come to know that which is only ‘Truth’. After knowing all this, they will accept one thing because within them they have felt only ‘ Truth.’ Now for awakening the kundalini for the last so many years Nathpanthis did a lot of work. In this work of Nathpanthis, there was a system, a tradition that one guru would awaken only one disciple. and would work only for one disciple And sometimes these disciples would follow the wrong path and would not follow their advice. According to Me, in the twelfth century[ie 1200s] for the first time, Gyaneshwara wrote about kundalini in his commentary about Gita. In sixth chapter, has openly said as we should say, keeping in mind the conditions of that age had openly said in that period. when religious practitioners said it has not been prooved and so don’t read it. Before that, Markandeya Swamy, Adi Shankaracharya who had come in sixth century [ie 600s], told about Kundalini in Sanskrit language.

But common man didn’t know him. Secondly, which means that when only one person will work with one disciple it would spread among the ordinary people. After that there were many religions in the world. and spread also too much. But without Kundalini awakening, no dharma gets success because whatever dharma a human being does, that is just external. Every type of equipment every type of, we should say which results in too much ritualism and because of that ritualism, a human being does not get benefitted in anyway from religion. That is why we find that now a days a human being has some assumtions about dharma. One will say i am Christian, another will say i am Muslim. Now, Christian and Muslim religions are very rigid. Because in Christian religion, Christ has written that if your one eye does any wrong act, take it out and if your one hand does a wrong act break it, cut it.

But I have not seen anyone doing so among Christians. And Muslim religion is even more rigid than that. They have put such restrictions even on women. That those who are not ordinary human beings. They were, as if highly proficient for some God’s angles. The restrictions they had told about religion only they can do and nobody else. Then what it led to, was that within a human being hypocricy evolved, a religious hypocrisy. To awaken dharma inside, kundalini should be awakened. It means that when dharma awakens within a human being he becomes dharmic. He doesn’t have to be told.

The reason is that when kundalini awakens your spirit comes into your attention. In the same way, a human being does what is joy giving for him is nutritous, is constructive for him and whatever is destructible, is destrucive, (is given up). Until the light of his spirit doesn’t get awakened they do all wrong acts. It is not his fault. If anyone walks or falls down in dark he should not be blamed. In the same way within you, you should analyse first. You might say that we belong to this religion we belong to that religion and you are fighting on that account, that is wrong. All religions were beautiful flowers of one spiritual tree which were plucked. and after plucking say this is our flower, this is our flower and so are fighting among themselves. How can you fight in the name of God?

Because God is the giver of love, He is compassionate. God who is the ocean of love, people fight in His name. It is not possibe. Because they haven’t known God as yet haven’t acquired His power as yet. I have seen in Sahajyoga that thousands of people together get this power. It is very surprising. First of all, when I started this work only with one woman started and after that and twelve people got self realization. When experience takes place this all pervading power, this creation full of vibrations, is cool and very comforting power which you on your fingers can see, can know and feel. and even on your palm. Like this when Kundalini pierces six chakras and comes out of Bramharandra then its connection its oneness with all around Divine power of love takes place. "

Pray to Almighty

 

Prayer to Almighty

Ask for --

" Complete satisfaction in my heart, Joy in my heart, Bliss in my heart ; so that the whole world becomes blissful. "

" Give me love, love, that I could love the whole world, and that the whole world become one in Love. "

" Give salvation to the entire humanity, which is suffering. "

" Take me to your feet. "

" Cleans me with Thy Love. "

Now see if there's God or not. You can feel it. Within Yourself He hears you. He is the Glory of all the Glory.

He loves you, He protects you, He Guides you. He has created you to be really His Love. But accept it.

Any time any thought is coming to you--- pray; and you will be moving in the way of that Ocean which is unconscious mind, which starts with thoughtless awareness.

If you cannot become thoughtless, you pray to Him: "Forgive me for what I have done, and forgive those who have done harm to me. "

SADNESS IS TO BE AVOIDED

 

SADNESS IS TO BE AVOIDED

Sadness is the most dangerous thing for Sahaja Yogis.

There is no need to be sad over anything. You are a pure soul. You are beyond mind, intellect, body, emotion. Only you are forgetting how high you have been made to sit. Being sad, you start working against your mother. You become a slave of past karma, your bad habit or evil force. Then you don't recognize yourself. You lose your sanity. That's why always remember one thing, never be sad about anything. If you have made any mistake, then immediately forgive yourself and do not make such mistake again. You have been seated in the kingdom of God.

Some people are sad because someone disturbs them or they are also sad because of their own faults. But can Chaitanya Lahari be attained by being sad or having an argument with someone? Will God get a lot of pleasure when you are sad? This can never happen. You have to enjoy purity and innocence like Shri Ganeshji.

When you suddenly become very sad in front of your mother's photo, then the mother also feels sad. This is a very serious problem. You have to be happy always.

Love is knowledge, and knowledge is love. Nothing further than this. If you have knowledge, it has to pass the test of love. If you know someone, it has no effect on you because you know him externally. But if you love someone then only you understand him well. Very well you know him the way he is. This is the knowledge which we call Paragyan. This is the knowledge we have to seek."

RECEIVING THE BEAUTY THAT IS PROMISED

 

RECEIVING THE BEAUTY THAT IS PROMISED

You have to know the meaning of your life because you were created for a purpose – from amoeba to this stage you were brought – and now the One who has created you, the One who has given you all the beauties and the bounties of this Universe, wants you to know Him and enjoy all the bounties, like the Father bestowing properties, all His enjoyments on this Earth, out of His love. It’s the manifestation of His love that has brought us to this state, and His love only is going to give you that status by which you are going to be enthroned into the Kingdom of God. Instead, I know people have been harmed much more.

It’s very, very simple proposition, which is difficult for human beings to understand, that this was desired as a father desires for his son. Even when he is not yet a father, he thinks of a son: how he is going to bring him up and how he is going to bestow all his love and all he is earnings on that child. In the same manner, the Great Father has planned the whole thing in such a beautiful manner and He is going to look after His own Creation. No one can destroy it. He’s Almighty. Only thing is that you may destroy yourself, because He has made you free. He has given you freedom. He has treated you as a friend. Because if you have to be enthroned, you have to be a free person and you must know how to enjoy the glory of freedom.

In that freedom if you have chosen something wrong then you cannot blame God for that. But even if it is just a mistake then He will work it out with a thousand fold of His grace and mercies to see you, that you are saved. He’s going to use all His powers to see that you receive that beauty that is promised. That is what is Sahaj Yoga.
