Sahasrara day celebrations on 5.5.1975.

 

* MITHYA*

My dear Damle,

Many blessings,

Received your letter.

It is a very good sign to feel a pull on Sahasrara, because only through

Sahasrara

endless rays are poured in man's heart and new doors of inner being are

opened. But

before this grace descends in, there should be a pull in Sahasrara. We

understand the

pull of heart which is also silent, but lop-sided, that is emotional. But pull

of

Sahasrara becomes allround. There, man is in integrated state, in that Dharma

(righteousness) and awareness implore for chaitanya (Divine Consciousness)

that is

God's love. This happens spontaneously. Although it is the skill of your

Kundalini,

your personality should strengthen the Kundalini.You earned that quality in

previous

lives and hence this life is great that gems of persons are available for my

work.

If you understand that although my physical being is here I am all over, it

should also

be realised that even this body is an unreal (Mithya) appearance. It is

difficult to come

to this stage but if gradually unreal is discerned, the truth will be

established

effortlessly and waves of great bliss will envelop your being. I am

explaining, in this

letter, what is unreal (Mithya). It should be read out to all and assimilated

by all.

Unreal starts soon after the birth in this world. Your name, village, country,

horoscope, forecasts, many such things get attached to you or others attach

them to

you. Once Brahmarandhra is closed, many types of illusory ideas become a

part of your mind. False thoughts like 'it is mine or they are mine,' identify

with

outside objects ! Besides, man-made bindings such as " My body should be

healthy

and beautiful " are inculcated. Then unreal relationships like, 'he is my

father, he is my

brother, she is my mother', are on your head. As ego develops, foolish ideas,

such as,

'I am rich, I am poor, I am helpless, or I belong to high family etc. come in

your head.

Many officials and and politicians become egoists (Donkeys). Then, there are

anger,

hatred forebearance, separation, sorrow, attachment under the cover of love

and

temptations in the guise of social status. Man with great affection keeps

clinging to

this unreal way of life. If you think of getting rid of all these, and make

efforts, what

you get is illusory knowledge, because the attention (Chitta) moves along

Pingala

Channel, and then you are involved in Siddhis (Powers) and other temptations.

A

vision of Kundalini and Chakras is also illusory because there is no gain from

it, on

the contrary it is harmful. Whatever self-controls and mortifications you

insist on

practising effectively, all of them add to the limitations on your Chitta

(attention). As

such there is no way for liberation.

But all unreal does not fall off with the Self-Realization. It can be broken

off

gradually. If, with firm conviction, you deny from your heart all that is

unreal

(Mithya), you will have the realization of the Self (Atman) in its pure form.

Thereafter it is established within you. Albeit, (?) the same mortal human

Chitta is

drenched in that which is of the nature of love, truth, having no beginning

and end,

verily the Shiva. Human Chitta is meant for realizing that reality. This

Chitta must

become one with that Atman. Only that Chitta, which progresses renouncing all

unreal (Mithya), breaks all known and unknown bindings and becomes verily the

Self.

Atma is never disturbed or destroyed. Only human attention (Chitta), in

pursuit of

desires, leaves its inner path. This is Maya (the illusion). She has been

intentionally

created.

Without her the attention (Chitta) would not have developed. You should not be

afraid

of Maya and should recognise her so that She will illuminate your path. Cloud

hides

the sun as also makes it seen. In the same way once the Maya is identified she

moves

aside and the sun is seen. The sun is always there but what is the purpose of

cloud ?

Because of cloud you have an urge to see the sun which shines for a moment and

again hides somewhere. It gives strength and courage to your sight to see the

sun.

Man has been created with such great efforts. Only one step on his feet and

all is

successful. But, still it is not becoming possible. Hence, I have come as your

Mother.

Write your problems to me in letters. Sit down in meditation. It is best to

discuss only

Sahaja Yoga even amongst each other. Attention (Chitta) should always be kept

going

deeper and deeper within. Forget outside as much as possible. Have confidence

that

everything about it is taken care of. There are many instances to prove it.

Then, in

whatever you do, your Chitta (attention) remains in oneness with the Self. All

bindings of sin (Pap) and merit (Punya) are snapped. Distinctions like worldly

and

nonwordly vanish, because that wicked darkness, which has created all the

discriminations, ends. Everything becomes auspicious in the light of true

knowledge,

whether it is the destruction done by Shri Krishna or the Cross of Shri Jesus.

All this will not be understood by explaining. Just showing the path will not

help. The path will be known only after walking on it.

When I get your letters I fix the targets. After some time even that will not

be necessary. But, for the present all should write their own experiences and

progress.

When I come, we will see how many of Virata's channels (Nadis) you have

awakened. It appears, this work will come up in the case of holy land of

India, and

when fully developed, it will spread in all countries and directions.

When Sahasrara day was celebrated in London today, i.e. 5

th May, I invited only

about 20-25 people and decided further course of action.

 

Many blessings and infinite love to all.

Ever yours - Your Mother - Nirmala
