You, yourselves have to find the meaning of SWA (Self)!

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here is an Old Marathi Letter where Our Mother addresses sulking, materially

conscious Sahaja Yogis, telling them that 'they themselves' have to discover the

secret of the meaning of " SWA " (the Self)! Our Mother explains that the initial

connection of self-realisation is only the Key to the Door, and not the Door

Itself, but that Sahaja Yogis have to use the Key of self-realisation to open

the Door leading to the Self!

 

Shri Mataji says that the necessary effort to achieve that, is to get up early

in the morning and spend at least an hour on meditation and worship, and in the

evening to do 'Aarti' and meditation also. But please understand that this

'necessary spiritual work to attain the Self' is never to become ritualised like

the SYSSR (Sahaja Yoga Subtle System Religion), but it is the 'required

spiritual work that one needs to do', if they wish to 'Realise the Self'! Once

the Self has been realised, things change and become much easier, as Shri

Mataji, Herself, says:

 

" Once you accomplish that, from where everything is born, you will have the rest

very easily. " (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Translation of Old Marathi Letter -

Letter NY 15-1)

 

The reason why a Sahaja Yogi will have the rest very easily, is because once

they have used the initial connection or Key of self-realization to open the

Door to the Self, they will have discovered the Treasure of the 'Temple within'!

The worship then, is no longer in external physical temples, but in the 'Temple

within'. Shri Mataji says in this Old Marathi Letter:

 

" You have been made like temples! " (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Translation of

Old Marathi Letter - Letter NY 15-1)

 

The Scriptures have also told about this 'Temple not built with human hands'!

(see 2 Corinthians 5:1 and 1 Corinthians 6:19) Christ also talked about this

'Temple within'! He prophesied to the Samarian Woman at the Well, that 'One day

people would worship God in Spirit and in Truth and not in the physical temple

at Jerusalem' (see John 4:21) This prophecy is now being fulfilled, as there are

now Sahaja Yogis worshipping God " in Spirit and in Truth " in their 'Temple

within'!

 

Lets not forget that like Shri Mataji, Christ also said that we must knock at

that Door, which is the Door to the Self, so that it will open for us:

 

" Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the Door

will be opened to you. " (Christ Jesus - Matthew 7:7 - Weymouth New Testament)

 

Lets also not forget that like Shri Mataji, Christ also said that where our

heart is, there will our treasure be also:

 

" But where your treasure is, there will your heart be also " . (Christ Jesus -

Matthew 6:21)

 

Christ's teachings and Shri Mataji's teachings are just so similar! So, please

enjoy Shri Mataji's teaching in Her Old Marathi Letter. She signs the letter

with: " Your Mother, NIRMALA " , which is special and personal to each of Her

children!

 

regards to all,

Translation of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's 'Old Marathi Letter'

 

Man wants peace, wealth, power etc., but God is the origin of all these. Then

why should there not be the desire for God? Why should there be no aspiration

and ambition to meet God? We should pray to God for peace, and keep the desire

to meet God who is peace itself. This should be the difference in satisfaction

of a common man and that of a Sahaja Yogi. One should be ready to surrender the

very desire to meet God at God's holy feet. All attention must be on Him. For

that - one must have dedication, determination and concentration (tapasvita), in

that all material attachments should be destroyed. What is there in this world

to cling to? You must realize the glory of those feet in which all fades, and

becomes peaceful. Only then, will you have your glory!

 

Why should one brag of one's achievements? You must understand that whatever is

being done by you, is all God's power, that is, the working of the Adi Shakti

and you are only the witnesses to see these miracles. For achieving that stage,

you should pray:

 

" May our 'I consciousness' fade away. May the truth that all of us are a small

part of your being be assimilated within us, so that your Divine bliss would

resonate every particle of our bodies and this life would be filled with

beautiful melodies enchanting the whole of mankind, and showing the light to the

rest of the world. "

 

Let love flow from your hearts. Love is unlimited. Your love is unlimited. Your

attention is on material things and you are talking about eternity. Your

attention should merge in eternity, so that you will have eternal life.

 

You are officials of God's kingdom - then why are you sulking?! All deities are

your elder brothers in this kingdom. They are present in many forms along the

path of Kundalini. You should recognize them and attain them. Kundalini is your

Mother. Learn to always remain under Her care. Be Her child, and She will take

you to the Ultimate. Once you accomplish that, from where everything is born,

you will have the rest very easily!

 

But you are not consistent in the practice of meditation, love, and a peaceful

life. You are talking casually even to me. But how eager you are in worldly

matters! How adamant you become on having what you want! Why are you not casual

in that respect instead? Do not run away from the reality, because I am

Mahamaya! Attain Me; I am yours! I am for you. I have given you that which has

been beyond the reach of very great sages and saints. How will you make use of

it? You have been given a very big asset. Thousands of stars and planets were

created with just its one wave!

 

There is great significance to your rebirth. But you, yourselves, have to

achieve that - you, yourselves have to find the meaning of " SWA " (Self)! Sahaja

Yogis can do it. It is a big contrivance. I have told you the secret, but what

have you achieved?! Nobody sulks, having been benefited. 'You are unhappy' means

you have not been benefited! If you achieve the trick, you will open the gate of

Joy and forget yourself, while enjoying the bliss!

 

Nobody becomes happy from worldly matters. I have given you the key to the

treasure, which others haven't got. But you must work to open the Door! You have

taken everything casually. You want Mataji to feed you, to wake you up in the

morning, to make you sit in meditation, and to clear you of anger, hatred and

etc.

 

Today is the day of Guru Puja. What 'Guru Dakshina' (Gift to the Guru) have you

given me? Understand, that your money is not worth the dust on the feet of your

Mother Guru! You should give your hearts - only clean and holy hearts. You must

clean your physical beings. Do not be lazy in that. Make a vow! You must get up

early in the morning and spend at least one hour on meditation and worshipping.

Perform 'Aarti' and meditation in the evening.

 

Satan's disciples work hard at a funeral place [a dead place]. I cannot

understand why you are taking everything so casually! Stop all gossiping! Leave

all jealousies and quarrels! Time never waits for anyone. Do you want to go

empty-handed, despite having the Key to the Treasure?!

 

If you do not accept God's kingdom, Satan's kingdom will come, and you will have

yourself to blame for it! Remember, because you Sahaja Yogis are dear people,

[that] you have been selected as officials. If you ignore it, on the one hand

you will be deprived of a great source of joy, and on the other hand, you will

lose your authority, due to the incomplete knowledge of Sahaja Yoga. Hence, be

wise and stand firm! Every movement has thousands of directions. Let your rays

spread in different directions. You will do the welfare to the whole world. Get

over your 'inaction to act'! You are to be captains! Let God's melodies be

sounded from your flutes.

 

Transcend in your feelings above those who have not been realized and blessed,

and God's kingdom will be yours. May you get that auspiciousness. All my efforts

are for that! You have been made like temples. Keep it clean.

 

Some of you are enjoying yourselves in the ocean of bliss! My blessings are that

all of you should be happy. Your worldly life and satisfaction should be of the

same level. A Sahaja Yogi's satisfaction and the circumstances he is in, are

balanced. Both of our legs grow together! If one leg is shorter than the other,

you will become lame! I do not want to tell you to lower the level of your

circumstances, if the contentment is less. But a Sahaja Yogi's satisfaction does

not depend on circumstances. He is happy in the circumstances that are

prevailing. If he is not, then his satisfaction is superficial, and not from

within!

 

May God grant you an eternal place at His feet!

 

Your Mother,

 

NIRMALA
