EASTER: first lessons, 1984

From "Planet of Apes"

...where many Sahaja Yogis fail to understand.
But when you are resurrected, when you become realized souls, one has to understand that now your movement is inward, you are moving towards your roots and not outside. So whatever was the endeavor before Realization has to be changed, the direction has to be changed, and that point mostly we miss.

Frescoe, Greek theater masks. Tragedy and Comedy

This is the thing today I am trying to explain to you: that so far, to a human mind, entertainment was important - entertaining - to the mind, not to the Spirit. Entertainment to the Spirit is absolutely opposite to the entertainment to the mind.
Like somebody the other day telephoned to me and said that "Mother, there is no excitement in Sahaja Yoga." -The excitement is too much, we are going against that!
We are going towards peace, not towards excitement, and this kind of electric shocks that we require every time. See: a drunkard, he's all right in the morning, but evening time he goes off, he needs a shock, a...some sort of an injection into his body. All human enterprises have been like that, they are to excite your body. Because, if it is the dead you are dealing with, then you have to excite it.
But something that is living, that is eternal, you have to enjoy it and not to excite it. So the direction has to be juxtaposition, and that is where many Sahaja Yogis fail to understand. How do we do it, is the point.

How do we make our attention move inward instead of going outward?
If you start from the time you are born again, it is much easier, because it's a new venture into, you go in, that is the peace. Peace of your Spirit, the joy of your Spirit, which is permanent, you don't need any excitement from it, it is permanent, it is eternal. So the first thing that comes to our mind is that whatever we do before Realization we have not to do. The first and foremost thing is, Realization comes to you effortlessly. So the effort which is built in your body all the time, the energy of effort, "I must do this, I must do that. I have to do this, I have to do that," that creates tension - that I have told you already.

So what do we do?
We do not try to compete with others, we do not try to fix certain timing, dates, watches. We do not also put our attention into any endeavor which puts us into effort, but we relax that attitude of effort. It's called as, in Sanskrit, prayatna shaithilya. For a Western mind it's very difficult to grasp the subject, so try to understand!
That doesn't mean lethargy, doesn't mean lethargy. So one should never confuse with the dead, the energy of the living. Now we are trying to transform our energies towards the energy of the Spirit, so you have to allow the Spirit to take over. Your effort of your mind should be reduced and the energy of the Spirit should work through you.

Now how do you do it?
First is detachment, detachment. Detachment, start with the thought, let us see the thought. It's called as vichara shaithilya, relaxation of the thought.

Now, a thought is coming into your mind, some thought, "Today is Mother's Puja, let's go, we have to hurry up," you see. Must get this, you didn't get the flowers, now you go to the Third World and get the flowers, you must get this and you must get that."
Second is: "No: detach yourself! Witness! Leave it to the Spirit! Watch, you will get it!"
Many of you have noticed this. But still this mind, which is quite silly, tries to impress upon you that you have to use the old junky instrument of this mind, and it asserts that "Better use," and when you start using that, ego comes in, you get attached to it, and what you lose is your progress and thus the joy is minimized.

How do you detach yourself?
For a person who is absolutely detached, it's very difficult to explain how to detach, isn't it? I'll try! Now, I cannot get attached, that's the problem is, and I find it difficult to explain to you in words which are human words, but still, I'll try to say now.

A column of uttermost actuality

«Hallucination ....out of compassion ! - the game of power...»

It's said that at Sahasrara the Goddess incarnates as Mahamaya; because the job She has to do is of a very different nature. At the heart chakra, Anhata, She has to just defend, just defend the seekers from the clutches of the evil forces which are also not so subtle. They are very gross-like forms, human forms. And it's easy to fight and have a war with them, kill them.

But at the point of Sahasrara, the work is very complicated. First of all, the Sahasrara of the human beings is itself a very complicated thing. First of all, it's not that the time is very precarious, but also every country has its own complication to add to Sahasrara. Apart from that, you know, in Sahasrara we have got the seats of all the centers, not only the seven centers we are dealing with. And so many Nadis... are worked out through Sahasrara.
(...) But today, it being incarnated in it's full force, is acting through you. Is acting towards you.
It is helping you in a very big way, which I don't know if the complicated brains are aware of. So many dimensions it is working, because first of all, we have this horrible thing called ego. ... Many people, in Sahaj Yoga also, think like that, start thinking that they are something great.

... With some people it may act in a way that you want to enjoy the game of power, those who have missed it or those who know how to use it.
There could be another type who are the ones who think they have always suffered and they are suffering now also.
There can be another type of a group of people, who - when they come to Sahaj Yoga - they have complications of emotions. I know of some people, I've heard, that they felt attraction for a man or a woman and they started behaving in that fashion - after coming to Sahaj Yoga.
Sometimes the attraction to money, attraction to greed and lust becomes subtler.
...
So the Mahamaya being the subtler force, - is the subtlest of all!, which you cannot understand and can explain through your brains, at all - acts and just stupefies, it stupefies them. Unless and until that is done they cannot stop it, they cannot cut themselves away. They - in a subtler way - they remain the same, but not aware of it. People who are miserly become miserly, in a very subtle way, in a very sophisticated way, but they are miserly. Those who are dominating become dominating in a subtler way.
... And that's why the Mahamaya acts. First of all it stupefies you, completely. So you realize that whatever you think or react to something, to certain situations, it's a Maya, is just a hallucination created.

....
"Maha" means the great, because it has all the powers of all the Deities, it controls all the Deities; it surmounts over all the Deities.
And "Maya" also means love and compassion. All this effort for what? People don't understand. In the west people don't understand why am I doing it? There must be some reason:-It's compassion!
But the play of the compassion comes through the Mahamaya power. ...
