Excerpts from Speeches by Shri Mataji On “Nirmala Vidya”…

Here are some excerpts from Speeches that Shri Mataji made on " Nirmala

Vidya " in the 1980's. Please enjoy...violet

" It is the special power by which we do All Divine Work, even forgiving. When

you say, `Mother, forgive us,' the technique by which I forgive you is " Nirmala

Vidya " . The technique by which I love you is also " Nirmala Vidya " . The technique

by which all the Mantras are manifesting themselves and are effective is also

" Nirmala Vidya " . " Nirmala " means pure. " Vidya " means knowledge. " Nirmala Vidya "

is purest knowledge or the knowledge of this technique. The energy creates loops

and creates also different formations by which it acts and draws all that is

unwanted, impure and fills it up with its power. It is a divine technique, which

I may not be able to explain to you fully because your instrument does not do

that – you don't have that instrument.

But now you see how subtle it is. Only by saying `Nirmala Vidya,' you invite

that power, the whole thing, the whole technique to attend to you and it attends

to you. You don't have to worry. It never happens in any government or anywhere

in the world. You just have to address the government and the whole thing goes

into work, in the whole, the entire universe, every creation. That technique is

called " Nirmala Vidya " . That technique once mastered by surrendering to it, it

completely obeys, absolutely. But it is Ganesh Shakti, the Shakti of innocence,

is the power called innocence. The whole power because it is innocence. So the

innocence takes over, which manages. That's how it works out.

Then it goes on rising and is called " Para Shakti " , beyond power… then becomes

Madhyama and all that. It comes up to the Vishuddhi at the left. There you

become guilty. Because of your guilty nature you say things that are harsh. Left

Vishuddhi is the catch of the Ganesh Shakti. Ganesh is sweetest thing you can

think of. Even when you look at Ganesh, this Kautuk – this innocent admiration

starts flowing. Just think of him, you feel so happy. That innocence becomes

harsh on Left Vishuddhi. So to overcome your left Vishuddhi all of you are to

use sweet words. Your language should be sweet to everyone, especially (men)

should speak sweetly to their wives. Now that sweetness will cure your left

Vishuddhi. Always speak very sweetly, try to find out all the sweet words. The

sweet methods of addressing is the best way to cure your guilt: because if you

say anything harsh to anyone you may say so as a matter of habit or may be

because you just feel happy by saying that, but as soon as you say it, you say,

`Oh God, what did I say' – that is the biggest guilt. One has always to try to

find out sweet words. Now the birds are chirping. In the same way you have to

learn all the sounds of everything by which you make people happy by your

sweetness. It is very important. Otherwise, if your left Vishuddhi grows too

much, you will develop a way of talking by which your lips will get distorted to

the left.

Then the flow starts higher, in the Agnya Chakra, where the Ganesh Shakti

becomes the Greatest Power of Forgiveness. Then it rises higher into the limbic

area where Ganesh Shakti goes beyond the Surya; the super-ego comes up and this

power is that of the Moon and this Moon is " Spirit " … this becomes " Spirit " and

sits on the head of Sadashiva, that is the same. The whole Ganesh Shakti's

evolution, you see; it is so beautiful. So this way our desire itself becomes

the Spirit, your desire and your Spirit become one – but this hurdle can be very

bad sometimes. You have seen that all of you who have left Vishuddhi, when you

speak harshly you must know it is not you who is speaking. No, because you are

the " Spirit " . " Spirit " cannot say anything harsh or destructive. It will only

say harsh, when it is necessary to little bit remould. But that you don't take

over. That will be done by somebody else. " (Nirmala Vidya, Rahuri, India,

31-12-1980)... (Nirmala Yoga, Jan-Feb '81, Pg.20)

" On the left side the problem starts from left Swadisthana, because that is the

first chakra that starts emitting negativity within us. Now left Swadisthana is

actually under control only of Sri Ganesh because Sri Ganesh is the beginning of

life and also the link between life and death. So Ganesh is the one who gives

the balance, the 'Vivek' the understanding to you by which you know how far to

go with things. " (Advice given at Delhi, 11-03-1981 – Nirmala Yoga, May-Jun '81,

Pg.3)

" This is the key of " Nirmala Vidya " : `How to be humble?' By humility you will

never say, `This is my bathroom, or this is my fruit, or this is my food, or

this is my table, and this is my glass.' Innocence gives you the strength to

enjoy everything that is there. I mean for me, sometimes I have to eat with

bhoots (negativity), and sometimes I have to eat bhoots. Not only eat with them,

but also eat them – is the worst part. So you should also not mind if there are

people with bhoots. If they are arrogant, try to give them bandhans, try to

control them through all these methods. But if you think by arguing with them

you will be able to manage them, it's an impossibility. So try " Nirmala Vidya " ,

and that is humility, which is the myelin sheath of vibrations. Like every nerve

has a myelin sheath covering it, in the same way is humility; is the myelin

sheath. If you are humble, you will win the battle; if you are not, you will be

lost. Then the whole thing will become a joke for you, `absolute' joke. If you

are humble you can see the stupid, the bhoots and all the arrogant clowns of

this drama. " (Innocence and Virginity, London, 17-10-1982)…(Nirmala Yoga, March-

April 1985, Pg.19)
