Guest guest Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 " One of the first mantras which is in the initial Self-Realisation Guided Meditation is: " Kundalini Mother, please give me the Pure Knowledge of the Spirit! " To eventually gain this Pure Knowledge of the Spirit, one has to first become an 'empty vessel', in order to receive it. If your cup is already full of other things, you will have no room for it. When one becomes an 'empty vessel' this knowledge just flows in, when it wishes to. There are no rules or regulations that regulate its flow, to my knowledge, except that the person has to be in " Divine Union " to receive it. The Pure Knowledge of the Spirit then flows in as wisdom, knowledge, intuition, inspiration, and intelligence. (smile) " From what I understand, a person has to become an empty vessel and also be in Divine Union. Yup, I am now having a hollow personality that is empty for the knowledge to flow in. Nevertheless, the knowledge never comes even after for so long. I thought everyone of us has achieved Divine Union when we received our self-realization. Correct me if I am wrong in this.

Please introspect what you are saying, because your reply is surprisingly shallow. If your efforts to have your 'Union with the Divine Within' is as shallow as your reply, i am not surprised that you are not having results, but only yourself can rectify this. Until you go deeper, nothing will change. Ultimately, it is not about an external exercise to achieve results. Ultimately, the spiritual journey within, is about 'getting real with yourself' and asking yourself the hard questions and finding the answers within yourself. That means deep introspection and contemplation on the subject. Okay?! i mean this kindly, Don. (smile) kind regards, violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Dear Don, i have C & P your post, so i can answer it for you: " So by saying the mantra " Mother, please give me the pure knowledge of the spirit " , we could attain all knowledge. Does it means we will have all the knowledge transferred to us? [You are making it sound mechanical. 'Do this' and 'that' will happen. We are talking about spiritual things here, not mechanical things (smile). Alternatively, you are making it sound ritualistic. It is not like that. That way won't work. Any robot can say it ritualistically. It takes a seeker of the truth to say the mantra with an open heart, in a non-ritualistic way, each time, meaning what they say, communicating deeply within (smile). You will get the pure knowledge of the spirit when your vessel is in a fit state to receive this pure knowledge (smile). That is how it works. A vessel that is full of ego and conditionings is not empty to receive the pure knowledge of the Spirit. Many people can repetitively say, " Mother, please give me the pure knowledge of the Spirit " . However, they still have to be prepared to receive it. They have to have the spiritual state to receive it. If a person has a stony heart, or has hate in their heart, or is egotistical or selfish, they have to 'clean house' before any pure knowledge of the Spirit can flow through. It is not a 'transference', which is very mechanical sounding. It is a flow of intelligence, intuition, wisdom, and knowledge. The person becomes the knowledge in a way. The knowledge and him become one. This is the depth we are talking about here (smile).] I have been saying it very often say, each time I meditated but I was not given knowledge. Did I miss out on something? Please help. [Like i've said, repetition is ritualistic. It is better to just 'be yourself', be honest, and 'mean the mantra' rather than repeating it without results. The result is yourself actually. It is yourself that will change, and once you change, everything will change! (smile) So, yes, you must have missed out on that point, that it is all about " you " . It is very individually about you, and how you approach, with sincerity, honesty, and especially with surrender that whatever happens, you will persevere. Enjoy the small changes. That's how it happens. You have to enjoy each spiritual success, and build upon that.] Additionally, you did mention something about some Sahaja Yogis " stop thinking " and they were wrong about it. I thought Mother said if they are any problems, we become thoughtless and then put all our problems into it, then it will be solved. Mind to explain? [i was explaining how some Sahaja Yogis thought 'thoughtless awareness' meant a 'suspension of intelligence'. i did not use the words 'were wrong', which are words you have said, not me! LOL! So i think it is you that 'needs to explain yourself!' LOL! Shri Mataji has said that 'in that state' that you, Don have brought up the subject on, you can put all your problems and they will be solved. But you have to be in that state for this to work! That is the point. Please take this with a sense of humour, but our greatest problem is ourselves. Once we remove the problem of ourselves, our lower self to be precise, then all problems get solved! LOL! A person who is continually in the 'surrender state' of Nirvikalpa Samadhi has no problems, because they are themselves not the problem anymore! LOL! You do have to see the funny side of this, of course. LOL! But all humour aside, i put everything to the Divine Within, regarding potential problems, and they work out spontaneously.] From my own experience, each time when I meditated and achieved thoughtless awareness, I would see some yellowish light coming down from my sahasrara. That is the moment when all the thoughts inside my mind ceased and peace is established. I heard some people said it's the Grace that descends and flows into the Ida and Pingala nadi which makes us feel relaxed. Mother has said all we need to do during meditation is to go thoughtless. I have meditated with my attention on top of my head (sahasrara) all this while and what will happen if I continue meditating this way? [Yes, the idea is to be in thoughtless awareness, and when the meditative state is established, you will be in thoughtless awareness even when you are not intentionally sitting down to meditate. In the established state of thoughtless awareness, called Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the person is in meditation on a 24/7 basis. That is because it is a 'state'. The reason for meditating is to establish that state, to be in that always. It is the " Saving Grace State " . In that state, you can go to work, work from home, do your duties or chores, and you remain in that state. Even if there may be someone arguing, or something around you, you will be able to stay in that state. In that state, when you do intentionally sit down to meditate, as you are already 'in the state of meditation', that state is just enhanced, and you can meditate very deeply and enjoy the communion with the Divine within. (smile).] i hope this helps. regards, violet , " don19831114 " <hylee42 wrote: > > So by saying the mantra " Mother, please give me the pure knowledge > of the spirit " , we could attain all knowledge.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Violet, I am already there..for I have already cleanse my so called house and clear my ego and conditionings. So I am an empty vessel waiting for the Divine to fill me in with the pure knowledge. I am also doing this from my heart and also very deeply....still, the progress is slow.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Don, It is one step at a time, brother, and patience is a virtue that is needed, because as you say, progress can be slow at times. But just take heart and be constant. You will overcome all obstacles in the end. Wait and see.
