What Shri Mataji wrote deeply touches my heart

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Shri Mataji writes frankly with the love and compassion of a true spiritual

Mother, in the preface of Her book, Meta Modern Era. She does not speak with

flowery language, but gets to the heart of the matter of the ills of Her

children, as only a Mother can. i can't help but be touched by what She writes.

i hope this will touch your heart also.

What Shri Mataji wrote regarding Her Book

 

Actually I did not want to write a book of this kind. I am a person who is in

complete joy of Divinity. This is the all-pervading joy of Divine love and I

wanted everyone to enjoy it. Specially in the West I have seen there are many

seekers of absolute Truth. There are many scientists who have written voluminous

books about consciousness, about awareness. One can give a list of them. But all

these books really weary you completely, because they do not emit any knowledge

of the ultimate truth. I don't want to criticise them; after all whatever they

are doing constitutes honest research. But why not also give a chance - to this

new discovery which is being made? Why not humble down to see what is beyond

this mind which gives you all this artificial intelligence.

 

It is extremely difficult for me to write about the problems of Western life. It

is like a tree which has grown outside. This is now to be pushed down to the

roots and made to grow inside. It is only by going deep inside that we can find

out what the problems of Western civilisation are.

 

This book is especially meant for the Western people but unfortunately I have

never studied any Western language before. English is one of the blessings given

by the British to India when they ruled our country. But there too,

unfortunately, I studied in a vernacular school and later on in a medical

college, where there was no question of learning this language, English, which

is today universally accepted, especially in the West.

 

This book is no way to show any flowery language or to show any literary talent

of mine. It is just a straightforward statement of facts which I know and which

I want to communicate with the Western world. I would request people not to

waste their time in finding faults with my English, because it is not my Mother

tongue and I never studied it. Unfortunately, I could not get somebody else to

write for me because it had to be written by me personally.

 

The most difficult part is to convince a human being that in the entire

creation, he is the most highly evolved being, that he is capable of becoming a

glorious personality, a beautiful, peaceful angel. To tell him about the

problems of modern times is not a very good way of convincing him about what

human beings truly are. There has been so much demeaning of human beings, so

much of degradation in their value system that I thought that unless I go to the

root of the problems, it won't be easy to explain why they should break away

from their present shackles in order to evolve and ascend. One has to speak

frankly about what the problems are and what the real solutions are.

 

Frankly, there is no peace within human beings nor without. The poor and the

rich alike are unhappy. Everywhere people are groping for solutions. At an

artificial level, the intellect can work out certain problems about things that

we see around us in jeopardy. But while a few problems may be resolved in this

way, others arise. The true solution lies not in the material circumstances

outside human beings but inside the human beings themselves.

 

True and lasting solution to present ills can be found only by inner, collective

transformation of human beings. This is not an impossibility. In fact it has

already happened. There are so many thousands who have actually achieved this

state. The reality of en-masse inner transformation of human beings by

self-realisation is the most revolutionary discovery of the present age. But so

far, very few governments have accepted this discovery, especially in America,

England, France, Italy and Germany. The Pope, who himself is supposed to be in

charge of religion, meets all false gurus, but he will never meet me or talk to

me, though I have met him before he was elected to this position of a Pope. This

is not my job, this is not my work, but it is a spontaneous desire of the Divine

that this should be brought in full swing, so that human beings are raised to a

higher state of consciousness by which they can realise what they are, so that

they can appreciate and glorify themselves.

 

To me, human beings are like the deities who are still in stone form and who can

be transformed, with Kundalini awakening into angels. I hope that with this

book, I will not hurt people. On the contrary, I hope to be able to get many

more people for this great work of Sahaja Yoga, by which they can achieve their

ultimate. I have to use humour, because by nature I am very humorous and I see

humour in every kind of incident, which people sometimes take very seriously.

 

It is too much for a Mother to talk about the ills of her children, but unless

that is faced, I don't think the children can ever get their benevolence and

reach the ultimate goal, which is their Self-Realisation. So I would ask all of

you not to get angry with me, but to understand that out of my tremendous

compassion and love I have written this book, for the benevolence of the people,

with whatever English I can use, with whatever literature I can use, with

whatever style I could adopt. (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Preface to Meta Modern

Era - 29/09/95)
