Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Dear Readers, Shri Mataji has stated many times that we are not this Body, not this Mind, not these Emotions, but we are actually the Spirit. In the quote below, Shri Mataji says that it is very important to keep our attention upon this.... that we are the Spirit! Our intellect, unfortunately, can cheat us. However, by moving our attention from intellect and putting our attention on our Spirit, we can transform that intellect (buddhi) so that it starts working for the pursuit of the Spirit. Putting our attention on the Spirit gives rise to Pure Intelligence which only the Spirit, not intellect (which cheats us anyway) can give. Pure intelligence does not come from our external senses but from the Source of All Knowledge, the All-Pervading Spirit of God within. Moment by moment we can raise our attention to the Divine in the Sahasrara who will endow us with Her Pure Intelligence to meet every challenge, opportunity, and joyous occasion. Violet " Even if you get the glimpses of your Realization you have to at least believe that you are also the Spirit. You go on sticking to that experience and keeping your attention on the fact that you are the Spirit. Tell your intellect not to cheat you anymore. You can turn the face of your intellect by this. Now your intellect will start working for the pursuit of the Spirit. This is what faith means. Faith gives rise to pure intelligence. Now once you have seen the clouds removed still there are clouds. So you have to use the wind to remove the clouds — Wind of the Holy Ghost. And that you know there are many ways of taking advantage of the Wind. So the Wind comes from the same source, that is, the source of the Holy Ghost — your Kundalini! And also you have in person the Primordial Kundalini before you. Compared to many other seekers who came before you, you are very fortunate.
