3 - YOU BECOME A UNIVERSAL BEING

But in Sahaja Yoga - Sahaja Yoga has much deeper work to do.

It has to penetrate into the society, into the political life, into economic life.

You have to emancipate the whole world. Try to understand your responsibility.

You are not only here for one ascetic ascent, no. How much wisdom you must have, how much love you must have, and how much discrimination you must have, to understand that you are chosen for the emancipation of the whole world!

...Because Shiva is nothing but love, He's love. Love is that corrects, that nourishes, that wants your benevolence. That's what Shiva is. It wants your benevolence. It looks after your benevolence.

Nice, 20015

So when you are looking after the benevolence of others with love, then the whole life changes, the whole pattern changes, and you really enjoy it because you become one with so many, concerned with so many families, so many things, so many problems of others, and you just feel you are one with so many.

Now see, we are so many Sahaja yogis here today. First time when I came to Italy, I must tell you, I came with Catherine., and she was the only one who knew Italian. And we had told some newspaper to reserve some sort of a hall and advertise for us. Nothing was done. So when we came we couldn't find anyone. So I went round with her to put the posters, but still nobody came.

And today we are so many. But we must know that we are bound to each other by love, and the love that is for our benevolence, for our ascent. And then you just start enjoying everyone.

And then you don't think what race you are, what country you are, what this thing you are, nothing - a Sahaja yogi, finished! So you become a universal being. And this attitude has to be achieved.

....But this is only possible when you dissolve that limited relationship of yours into this great unlimited ocean of love; then only it is possible.
And if it is not there, do not try to justify - just watch yourself. See for yourself: are you really in love with everyone? You see, I would say that all the time when I - sometimes I go for shopping, I just think, "Oh, this one would be nice for this one, that will be nice for that one." For Myself if you say, it's impossible for Me to buy anything for Myself, impossible situation. Unless and until it is absolutely immediate, or some problem is there if I am just without it. I won't even buy a drink for Myself, even if I am thirsty. Because the whole thing is the joy of others. "Oh, this will be nice for that person. This will be good for that person."

"Love is that corrects, that nourishes, that wants your benevolence."

All this is the most enjoyable thing. 
I mean, why all this is for there? After all, think about yourself, "Why am I here? I'm here to enjoy everyone - everyone. They are all realized souls, such beautiful lotuses. I'm not going to stoop down to the mud. Now I am a lotus." That is the way you open the heart, the lotus of your heart. And the fragrance of such a person is so beautiful, is so beautiful.

So you are no more divisive, you do not want to separate from each other. Anywhere is done, you are agreeable to that; you don't think that it should be done here or there or there, but anywhere - but should be all of us together.

So the small attachments that are with you have to be dissolved into this ocean of love, which is Shiva.

(1991, Shiva Puja, Italy)

4 - Becoming a complete Shiva:  in two steps.

So now you have got the attention or the body,  the whole body of the atom, then,  the nucleus, and inside the nucleus is the Spirit. In the same way - we have this body, the attention of the body, and then we have the nucleus - is the brain, and the Spirit is in the heart. So the brain is controlled through the Spirit. How?

That around the heart there are seven auras which can be multiplied into any number, seven raised to power sixteen thousand, which are the ones which watch the seven chakras, raised to power sixteen thousand .

Now this Spirit is watching through this aura. Watching, I am again saying "watching" through this aura. This aura is watching the behavior of your seven centers in your brain. Is also watching all the nerves that are working in the brain - "watching", again. 
But when you bring the Spirit into your brain, then you go two steps ahead, because when your Kundalini rises, She touches the Sadashiva and Sadashiva informs the Spirit. Informs in the sense - reflects in the Spirit.

"...reflects"

So that's the first state where the watching auras start communicating through your different chakras in the brain and integrating it.

But when you bring your Spirit to your brain this is the second state. Then you really become self-realized, in the full way, in the full way, because then your Self, that is the Spirit, becomes your brain. Action is very dynamic, it opens then, the fifth dimension in the human being.

First when your become realized, collectively conscious, and start raising the Kundalini, you are in, you cross the fourth dimension.

But when your Spirit comes into your brain, then you become the fifth dimension - means, you become the doer. Our brain, now, for example says, "All right, lift this thing up."  (= the microphone) So you touch it with your hand, you lift it up. You are the doer. 
But when the brain becomes the Spirit, the Spirit is the doer, and when Spirit is the doer, then you become a complete Shiva - self-realized.

"when it touches the spirit"

In that state, if you get angry, you are not attached. You are not an attached person to anything whatsoever.

If you possess anything, you are not attached. You cannot attach, because Spirit is detachment, complete detachment. You don't bother about any attachments whatsoever. Even for a second, you are not attached.

Now I would say, to understand the detachment of Spirit, we should study ourselves very well, clearly. How are we attached?

We are attached, firstly, by our brain, mostly by our brain, because all our conditionings are in our brain and all our ego is also in our brain. So all emotional attachments are through our brain and all our egoistical attachments also are through our brain. That's why it is said that after Realization one must try to practice the Shiva Tattwa by practicing detachment. 

Now how do you practice this detachment?
Because we get attached to something, of course through our brain, but through our attention. So we try to do what we call chitta nirodh, is to control your attention. Where is it going? In the practice of Sahaja Yoga, if you have to rise higher you have to improve your own instrument and not the instrument of others. This is one thing one should know, for definite. Now, you just watch your attention. Where is it going. Watch yourself.

As soon as you'll start watching yourself, your attention, you'll become more identified with your Spirit. Because if you have to watch your attention, you will have to be your Spirit, otherwise how will you watch it?
So now see where is your attention going. First, the attachment is, in all gross ways, to your body...

4 - "...unless and until you become your ideals

 you are not a Sahaja Yogi"

1- YOUR EXPERIENCE OF JOY.

But the fourth state is called as turya.... You are in the turya state, it's the fourth, "turya" means fourth. Fourth state is where that you are in a thoughtless awareness state.
When there is no thought - just think of it - when there is no thought, you have to be innocent.
When there is no thought, you have to have vibrations.
When there is no thought, you cannot be attached to anyone.
So into that thoughtless state you have come now, is the "turya sthiti."
And in this state when you are, these four petals which are within you have to open out in your brain. They come from your heart to your brain.
And that is when you absolutely understand what is God, absolutely you know what is God is.
That is the time when one receives the real knowledge.
But, unless and until these four petals open, one may fall back, and that's why some of the Sahaja yogis who are still meddling with things that they should not do, go down. And they don't understand what is God is. But it's not the understanding - in a way you understand this one little point, that it comes from your heart into your brain, not from brain to your heart.
It comes as if the ambrosia of your bhakti,  covers your brain, absolutely.
Say for example, Shankaracharya wrote a beautiful treatise called as "Viveka Chudamani" where he described what is God, this, that; and "viveka" means the conscience, and consciousness and all that he described quite a lot. But there was one horrible fellow called Sarma who started arguing with him and he got fed up, Shankaracharya. He said, "No use talking to them."

Shankara

So he just wrote "Saundarya Lahari." "Saundarya Lahari" is nothing but all the mantras praising the Mother. He said, "Why, I know Mother, now let me praise Her. Nothing doing - what's the use of talking to these people? Stupid things, how will they understand?" He realized that "These people haven't got that capacity, that sensitivity to understand what I know."
That's the real knowledge, is to know what is God.
And if that is God, then how can you suspect anything, how can you try to analyze anything? It's God. It's God Almighty, which knows everything, which does everything, which enjoys everything. That is the one you should say is the gyana, is the knowledge, is the true knowledge, the pure knowledge. It's not the knowledge of chakras, not the knowledge of vibrations, not the knowledge of kundalini, but the knowledge of God Almighty.
And the knowledge of God Almighty is not mental. 
Again I tell you,
it starts from your heart and goes to your brain, 
something that comes out of your experience of joy and covers your brain. So your brain cannot deny it any more.

Like the - sometimes when you have your mother, little mother, you know the love of your mother. But you cannot explain, it comes from your heart and you say, "No, that's my mother, she won't do like that. I know my mother very well." The knowledge about your mother, the one who has given you birth; may not be, mother may not be very good or whatever it is.
But knowledge about God, that He's love, that He's truth, that He knows everything, that just become part and parcel of your being, absolutely, and that's the time we say is the nirvana.
So it's important, specially for the people of the West, now open your hearts, because it starts from the heart, not from your brain.
Do not judge people on vibrations. Judge yourself, all the time.

Elephanta caves

I had told that Shiva Puja means more explanation, more understanding, more this thing; because in other pujas we do all these mantras, this, that, but in this puja is to know the knowledge, it's God. And to know that you know God itself is so great.
Whatever it is - She may be Mahamaya, She may be anything, but I know Her. It cannot be described in one book, it cannot be described in hundred books.
It cannot be described in words, but to know that's God - after all, that's God, God Almighty.

2 - YOU BECOME A SOURCE OF JOY

In the limbic area, individual awareness becomes 
God’s will

...But you cannot become your Self unless and until this Sahasrara, this brain, is opened out and the Kundalini becomes one with the Paramchaitanya. Before that, you are in complete ignorance about what is good and what is bad. Whatever you think, for this brain, is good you do it. But whatever is really good you do not know because you do not know the reality.

Now we have to understand the consciousness that we have: consciousness of being alive, consciousness of so many things we have, and the so-called knowledge we have about everything. 

Vagus nerve scheme.

All that consciousness is stored near the liver, for your information, by this diaphragm. But then this consciousness starts rising higher and higher, then you become aware. In the evolutionary process you become aware... ...

So now the awareness is going towards another direction, which is darkness, which is not light. ... ... Human beings don't have any particular reason as such, to hate someone. But why it works out is because they are involved in their ego. An egoistical person feels that he has a right to do what he wants to do. He can kill anybody, he can bomb anyone, he can do whatever he likes. But a person who is not doing that is the other way round - he’s frightened. He's afraid of someone. ...

You become the Desire of God... 

So what is important is that you should know reality. 

You should know exactly what is right and what is wrong. 
For that, as I told you, there is this great power of Kundalini within you. She's the one, she passes through all these centers, enlightens them first of all - so your awareness gets enlightened - and when she pierces through Sahasrara, she joins you to this all-pervading power, which is knowledge, which is love, which is truth.
So after that, you immediately know - some people don't know immediately, but some people do - ... Immediately on these vibrations you will know.

So, what are these vibrations: is the Paramchaitanya. We call it 'Brahma-chaitanya', which starts flowing through your fingertips. Now you start feeling what chakras they are catching, whether they are right or wrong, and your discretion improves immensely. The brain, which was putting you in delusions and wrong type of life, immediately corrects itself. For example, ...

Unless and until you see that reality, you will be going with other crowd. 'These people are saying so, so let's do that'. 'They are saying so, so let's do that'. But you cannot see whether it is correct or not, whether it is good for you or not, or whether it is going to help you. 

 What surrendering means

... Up to this point is alright, but then you must have full understanding that - whatever right is right, and whatever wrong is wrong, and we should not do anything that is wrong, always do the right. 
You have to decide on that point. Now we have to do the right only, never the wrong. This is when it comes to your mind. Then what starts is your determination - what we call as devotion, dedication, surrendering. With that you give up all your false ideas and all your false pride, all other things that you have been doing so far. And immediately you become a different person, a beautiful person.

 the compulsion to save the world

Now the third thing that happens to you, which never happened to you before, that you feel that, unless and until I give the same state to other people, it won't be alright. It won't be alright for me to talk to them. So you start talking to your brothers, sisters. Then you start talking to other people. The whole nation you can talk to about Sahaja Yoga, that 'I have gained so much; I have got these things, so now why not you take it? - But

 to expect that by talking, by discussion, by arguments by sermons
They will never take to it, because their brain, as I told you, is just the same, still full of ignorance. So what you have to do is to raise their Kundalini.
Once you raise their Kundalini and their brain opens, then they are on the same line as yourself. They don't have to worry about what is good and what is bad, they know themselves.

Now that is what is very important: to correct this world is very

important. That you all should know what is right and what is wrong, and you have a vehicle of Paramchaitanya to know what is wrong and what is right. Now this strength starts moving and as you see there are so many people today with their open Sahasrara. 

So, opening Sahasrara was the most important part of the evolutionary process. All the evolutionary process brought human beings to what level? We had wars, we had all kinds of silly programs by which we really ruined so many countries, so many people.

Now when you are one with that all-pervading power, it's a pure power, it's a nirmal power, absolutely pure power, that gives you complete sense and complete understanding as to how you should move, how you should live and what you should have? This is what is Self-realisation, they say, but I would say that Self-realisation is much further than that. Even if your brain is enriched by the knowledge, the real knowledge, still there are other things which you should have, and the most important thing is that you have to be completely aware, again I say the word 'aware', of where you stand in this big plan of world global transformation. 

Sofia, Bulgaria, 1990.

You are here for a special job

What is your position? What are you supposed to do for this global transformation? 
What is your position? Where do you stand? What is the work for you to be done? Now you've got this compulsion on you that 'I have to do something', when this compulsion starts working on you, which is not dreadful, which is not annoying, but very peaceful and joyful; which says that, 'I have to see that others also know themselves'. 
So to know themselves is, first of all, 
you must know your own chakras.

Yes, many people get their realisation, I know, very quickly, but they do not settle down with their chakras. 

They have to see to their chakras, why you have problems on your chakras.

They will know they have problems, but they still go on without paying attention or without looking at it. 
To them it is a kind of a "by the way" you can say, th at "these problems are with me doesn't matter, but what does it matter as long as I am working out Sahaja Yoga?"
It is not only for others, but for yourself also. 
It's important that you should get your chakras corrected. That's the most important thing for you, and then you will have Self-knowledge. In the sense, you'll know what is the defect, where is the defect, 'what am I doing wrong?', 'what should I do?'.
And then, when you correct it, when you correct those centers, then your awareness, I would say, will be really fully enlightened about all the world. 

 you should not waste it

From "Planet of apes".

...First of all you should see if you are a peaceful person. If there's peace in your heart. 
If you have no peace in your heart then you are not a Sahaja Yogi. If you get excited and if you start shouting at people and all that, it means you are not Sahaja Yogis. 
You have to have a very, very peaceful temperament. That is very important. Now with that peace what should be there: - pure compassion. What you are doing is not for your benefit as such, but because you are compelled by this force to do good for others, to transform them. This is the greatest good you can do to others, that their brains are put right, they get rid of their diseases, they get rid of their problems, it's all there.

2009

But the first thing and the most important thing that happens is that they get the power to transform others. 
When you have that power to transform others you should not waste it. You should not use it for yourself. That means the growth is not complete. You must talk about it, you must tell about it and you must work it out, wherever it is possible. You have to work it out. This is the way we can spread people on a global level, who can get complete transformation. 

...Supposing I get lost somewhere and the car is going in a wrong way, alright, I have to go that way, that's why I'm going like that. What is there to feel upset about? So many things, small, big happen in your life for which you get upset. But now with this blessing of Sahasrara you'll be amazed there is help from Paramchaitanya, and that means a tremendous help because it acts globally, it acts individually, it acts on communities, it acts on nations, because there is divine, what you call divine. There is a divine play going on. And this divine play plays tremendous beautiful things by which people start correcting themselves. 

Ghana,

...if you know how to...

...So you should never be nervous, you should never be upset because you have the divine power within you and it will correct. It can correct anyone.

I mean recently we had a case of one boy who was hit by a truck and they said his lungs were smashed. Now with the lungs smashed nobody has heard that they become normal. Not only he became normal but he started breathing normally and now he's alright. 
All this work is done by Paramchaitanya. You don't have to do anything, any problem that comes before you before it really touches you it's solved by the Paramchaitanya.

But you must have full faith in yourself and in Paramchaitanya and believe that you are a realised soul. Nobody can harm you. If they try to harm you for the time being, alright you may suffer, but you don't also feel the sufferings and you get out of it. Such a security, such a proper guidance is there. ...

... Because you are not aware also of this Paramchaitanya, that's why you a little bit get worried, and people write to me 'Mother, something wrong with my daughter', or something like this. Everything can be corrected by Paramchaitanya, if you know how to leave it to that; if you understand how you are one with that Paramchaitanya - you're a part and parcel of that, and that Paramchaitanya is looking after you. You don't have a very conscious effort, there's no need to have a very conscious effort.

Accept life as it is. As it is, whatever life is there, accept it. Don't retaliate, don't get angry, don't get upset, just accept and you'll enjoy the same life which was irritating you. You will see the enjoying part of that and it will be so beautiful the way you will see that you'll get over all your problems. You'll get over all your enemies and a kind of a very fresh beautiful existence you'll have.

 you just get it

So now, as you are all Sahaja Yogis, it's a very great position. With that, if you humble down, humble down, then you'll be amazed to see that you are absolutely in contact with this Paramchaitanya. Not only that, but you have become Paramchaitanya. 
With this Paramchaitanya you can do anything. I need not tell you what you can do, because some of you may not believe.
But my own experience is, that if you are the Paramchaitanya, if you know you are the Paramchaitanya, then it keeps your dignity, it keeps your position, it keeps your word and looks after you. And whatever is just said or desired, you just get it.

Chhindwara city, 21 March 2012

Your desires also change. Your desires are not for stupid things, but for something that is very noble. Like, you want to transform people, you want to do Sahaja Yoga work. All these desires are fulfilled fully when you want to do it, you like it and you think of it. It is something, even seeing something: if you see something and you are stunned by that, immediately Paramchaitanya will take over and you will have no problems, no problems. Because the way we react to all these difficulties and to so called odds in life becomes a play, just a play. You are amazed; you looked at it - and finished! Look at that - and finished! That is how it is the light, if it goes into the darkness and finishes the darkness. The darkness is finished and our problems are finished also.

Paramchaitanya gives you
the personality

So this is what is our awareness has to become. Awareness has to become Paramchaitanya. Then you get all the ideas, everything, that are divine, but not only that but also the help of the divine all the solutions of the divine. It's something amazing and everything quietens down, everything settles down, and you are amazed watching all this that you are the center of doing all these things. 
You are not aware that you are doing, and you are there. 
That ego part is missing, but you see it's all happening around, you and then you are amazed how it is happening. 

The whole life style changes, the whole understanding changes, and you become a great source of happiness, joy and knowledge to others. You don't have to study anything. You don't have to know much, but you will know about everything, what is right and what is wrong. And then only you can tell the things with complete authority, that 'This is not right'.

 .. Now it is for you to create seeds to spread Sahaja Yoga. You are now at that level of awareness now, where Paramchaitanya is with you, absolutely part and parcel of you, absolutely with you to give you all necessary help, all necessary prestige and also the personality.

Let your Spirit shine in such a way that people know this is a man who is completely integrated: the Spirit, the talk, the behavior, the life itself is completely integrated and this is what is Sahasrara. So if there is no integration you have not achieved your Sahasrara. There will be no need to pull your ears.

Birthday, 2010

A day should come when you all will raise your heads with great pride and glory because your ideals will shine like ornaments. I want to see those days when all those who claim to be Sahaja Yogis become that.
If you become the ideals, the power of ideals itself, will make you so dynamic that you don't need to consult anybody, you become the ideal.
They are like torches. Your ideals itself will be enlightened. So the first attitude should be: "How do we deepen ourselves?" That should be first attitude. ...

"People should feel your power"

So in your meditations 
you have to sit down.
 Now what do you say in meditation? Try to see all the chakras. What chakras are catching, face it yourself. These might be from your past life. Some chakras are weak. Try to make them all right, try to strengthen them.
Because ideals have to be worked out the instrument has to be all right. If the instrument is a crazy one how will you do? ... People should feel your power. Of course the power is of love, but love doesn't mean that you compromise with all the nonsensical things. ...

...Once you understand that unless and until 
you become your ideals 
you are not a Sahaja Yogi.
Everybody can call themselves Sahaja Yogis, there's not inauguration, we don't have any sort of a - inauguration of a university where people can come and get their degrees and diplomas: "All right you are certified twice born." There are some who are several times twice born. They are twice born today, tomorrow they are not, then again they come twice born and again twice born. Some of them can be one hundred and eight times twice born in Sahaja Yoga. And even then they are not certified.

"...they are not certified"

So you have to give yourself a certificate. There's no university to do that.
If you find your attention is going here and there, if you are not attentive in the program something wrong with you also.
If you go off to sleep something very seriously wrong with you. At that time if you are thinking of other things then something wrong with you.
You get headaches, something wrong with you. Judge yourself, clear out, you must clear out, that's very important. ...

DO WE HAVE THE POWER OF MANTRAS?

Everybody's improving but it's rather slow.
It can be very fast if you meditate, that's very important. You have to know how to make your chakras all right. Your mantras are to be siddhis. Mantras are to be such that they should not be mechanical, just saying something mechanically. You should say it from your heart. Again, if you do not say mantras through your heart, mantra is not siddha - means you may go on saying hundred times, it will have no effect.

Siddha mantra is that, that you say that, it has an effect, it works. If it does not work then your mantra has no meaning. So the development has to be within and without and you have to certify yourself, nobody else going to certify you. If you want to give yourself a false certificate go ahead.

Paris, Musée Guimet

If you want to cheat yourself go ahead. It's not going to help anyone.
But if you want to really have the joy and the bliss of the grace of Heavenly Father, then come out of it. Many mis-identifications that are there have to be given up to enjoy that beauty.
