When God and Her were born - Bob Dylan's Shelter from the Storm

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Below is an old email from a SY dated Sun, 9 Nov 1997 which is worth

reading. Enjoy it.

 

Jai Shri Mataji,

Dear ..............,

 

I am an aerospace engineer by profession, initially in R & D, and now

in so-called management. My logical mind can understand how certain

facets of SY can be interpreted in negative ways. I used to be one

of the " difficult " ones in the early days, questioning always, and

demanding proof for everything.... and Yes, I finally got the

proof !!

 

I had been questioning the purpose of life at an early age, and

desired to find the " truth " at the age of 12. I was brought up in a

very comfortable, loving, upper middle class family. My parents

could not understand why, instead of enjoying my comforts I had this

odd spiritual longing. Anyway, to cut the story short, I was

emotionally blackmailed into at least completing my university

education before " seeking the truth " .

 

I met Sri Mataji in London some 20 years ago. Less than 6 months

later, (still a sceptical engineer) I was at Her program (a small

audience of 15 -20). At these programs, when Sri Mataji sat down,

She did a 'namaste' to the audience with Her head bowed and eyes

closed. The audience also closed their eyes. Of course I did not,

and watched her closely from a seat in the front.

 

I was staring right at Her when She opened Her eyes - and our eyes

met.

 

It is impossible to describe in words what happened next. I was

drawn into a different dimension, zooming back in time, sabre tooth

tigers, the big bang, and before - ....towards The Beginning,

......... and still She was there!!! I shall omit attempts to

describe the forms Sri Mataji was in. (...cf. " when God and Her were

born " - Bob Dylan's Shelter from the Storm)

 

I was experiencing/seeing the primordial energy source - similar to

the " source " we use in fluid dynamics.

 

My whole being was enveloped in a zone of absolute silence,

stillness and bliss. I remained in this state for 3 days and nights.

It was sheer ecstacy and complete fulfillment.

 

Some time later, when I met an old-timer from India, I described the

forms that I saw Sri Mataji in, and I was told that it was the Adi

Shakti - which I had to have explained to me (My childhood had been

mainly programmed by the Methodist church with a good helping of

American mission school

theology).

 

Subsequently, there have been many blissful experiences during my

practice of Sahaja Yoga, and I have seen hundreds of people have

joyful spiritual experiences, initially in Sri Mataji's presence,

and later on during their meditations.

 

I have experimented with Sahaja Yoga for many years, and have proven

the hypothesis put forward by Sri Mataji again and again. I am one

of many who not only feel the different energies but can also use

them beneficially.

 

I have no doubt at all that Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi is the most

unique spiritual personality on the planet today. It would take a

book to write down the many proofs that I have obtained over the

years, and easily an encyclopaedia for what thousands have actually

experienced. I can feel this peace and bliss wherever I am, at work,

in my car, looking at the sunrise, at a leaf, a flower.... it is

sheer Joy, to really FEEL this bliss coursing through your veins as

you enjoy the Beauty of Nature and the Creation.

 

I would humbly suggest that you yourself approach SY with an open

mind, with scientific curiosity, and try the experimental procedure

and see if it works. You have nothing to lose, and, if what I have

related above is true.....then you are due to experience the

greatest of bliss, beyond all sense pleasures.

 

I wish you all the best,

 

With love and thanks . . .,
