" Now this Sahasrara is to be looked after by you. It is the temple

of your Mother. When you put me in your heart, actually you put me

in the Sahasrara because as you know the Brahmarandara here--the

fontanelle bone area is called the `pita', the centre which controls

the heart which is the seat of Sada Shiva (God Almighty), what you

call the Siva--when you put me in the heart, actually you put me

there " .

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" They say that at Sahasrara when the Goddess will appear, She will

be Mahamaya. Is it possible to be anything else in the world of

today to come on this Earth? Any type of Incarnation could have been

in great trouble because human beings in their ego are highest in

Kali Yuga. So they are quite stupid and they are capable of doing

any kind of harm or violence to a Divine personality. It is not at

all possible to exist in this world as anything else than Mahamaya...

 

It has no power or any intention of giving you wrong ideas or

something that is false. It is there whatever, it is Truth. So in a

way to say that Mahamaya is the one which deludes is wrong...

 

I need not be before you; I can be just here in Nirakar, in

Formless, but how to communicate; how to have a rapport. For that,

one has to come in the form of Mahamaya so that there is no fear,

there is no distance — one can come close and understand, because if

this Knowledge has to be given, if Realization has to be given,

people have to at least sit before the Mahamaya. Otherwise, if they

all run away, what's the use? To create that extremely human

personality in Sahasrara She comes as Mahamaya. "

" Now one must learn how to improve Sahasrara itself. You must know

the presiding Deity of the Sahasrara very well . . . But this Deity

has to be established first into the heart. Now you are very lucky

people that you have the Deity in person with you. The people who

got Realization before I came on this Earth had to imagine the

Deities. And in that imagination they were never perfect. But as

they say that at Sahasrara She is Mahamaya; that is how it is

described. So if you see that Person you may not be knowing fully

that Person, or in a perfect way, or a complete way. Because

Mahamaya Shakti is much greater than your imagination. That is why

one has to surrender. With your limited imagination, or brain, you

can not see the Deity. "

The Case Of The Double Vision

 

Kash can always see what is happening in the room while meditating

on Earth, but before going into Nirvikalpa Samadhi with the Great

Adi Shakti in the Sahasrara. In other words, though his physical

eyes are completely closed during meditation in the external

material world, the metamorphosis into the spirit being internally

enables him to start seeing with the spiritual eyes from within

himself. This is what the ancient Hindus referred to as the Third

Eye.SP If anyone walks in or does anything else in the meditation

room he or she is witnessed, even if the physical eyes are closed in

deep meditation. This is because in Sahasrara the eyes of the

spiritual body are still open, and the meditation only begins when

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi says so. Thus, for a few minutes Kash is

able to see with his two spiritual eyes within, while the physical

eyes are closed without.

 

There were numerous incidents when Kash watched activities taking

place around him, together with Shri Mataji and the Spirit Beings of

the Holy One. He had on many occasions witnessed his father, mother

or brothers walking around him or doing other things, although he

was in Samadhi. He was meditating in the macrocosm (Earth) but in

the microcosm (Kingdom of God) he still had to go into meditation.

Only when Shri Mataji requests meditation does he close his

spiritual eyes. Then he does not see anything.

 

There was an incident that properly illustrates this dimension.

On April 21, 1995, at 6:55 a.m. his father took the flowers from the

altar room to the balcony outside for watering. While they were

watered Kash went into the room to meditate. When the flowers were

brought back the father noticed that Kash was already in meditation,

eyes closed in deep concentration. After he had finished about 15

minutes later his father asked if he had noticed anything. He

casually replied that he (father) was seen bringing the flowers and

putting them back on the altar. The Great HOLY SPIRIT and all the

Immortal Beings also witnessed this entire episode as they had yet

to begin meditation. (Shri Mataji may have been waiting for the

flowers to be brought back and placed on the altar before She

commenced meditation.)

 

When asked how this was possible with his eyes closed, he explained

that in the Sahasrara they were still open as all the Spirits of the

Holy One Messengers of God were waiting for Shri Parameshwari Shri

Nirmala Devi to initiate meditation.

 

Other examples have been given about how Kash observed food being

placed before the altar. This happened on many occasions and he

always witnessed the earthly actions of his human family with a

quiet detachment.

 

These may be miracles to humans but for him it was just the normal

Reality in the Kingdom of Khudda within. He has always maintained

that this Reality is more real than the physical world he lives in.

The basis for this opinion may be because of the fact that he was

able to experience both worlds simultaneously, and make better

judgment. It may be also be because he was able to witness the

physical world from the spiritual world, and two worlds are better

than one. However, from the physical dimension he was not able to

perceive the spiritual dimension within. It always had to be the

other way round.

 

Incredible as it seems but all these mythical experiences tallies

with the proclamation of Shri Jesus 2,000 years ago that the Kingdom

of God is as small as a mustard seed, and within all humans! Modern

scientists are also proclaiming that the entire universe sprung out

of something that was smaller than an atom! The Great Primordial

Mother is proclaiming all this and much more. However, She cannot

enlighten further because humans do not have the capacity to

understand the Reality they cannot see, just as ancient Jews were

unable to comprehend Shri Jesus' Kingdom of God parable! This

crippling human handicap has made us blind, in all sense of the

word, to the infinite glory of our inner Reality. Our evolution

demands that we progress spiritually by joining hearts, minds and

souls together to lift the consciousness of His Human Family, and

begin the pioneering task of creating Heaven on Earth. We have all

taken birth on this Earth for a far greater purpose, that is, to

fulfil His Plan.

" It is Wilber's contention that we have lost, over the last four

hundred years or so, the `third eye' of knowledge. We have used

extensively the `eye of the flesh' which studies matter, and also

the `eye of reason' which values logic and philosophy, but we have

lost the `eye of contemplation' or spiritual awareness. Without that

eye the person cannot perceive spiritual reality. With it, `the

knowledge of God is as public to the contemplative eye as is

geometry to the mental eye and rainfall to the physical eye.'

Without it, we have lost our deepest source of knowledge. "

" The Prajnaparamita may be said to be standing on the line which

divides the absolute aspect of existence from its relative aspect,

and this line is a geometrical one just marking the boundary and

having no dimension. Even then we must not conceive the Prajna as

looking this way or that way when it wants to survey the two realms

of existence. If the Prajna were to take Sunyata alone without its

Asunyata, or Asunyata alone without its Sunyata, it would be no more

Prajna! To symbolize this, the Indian gods are furnished with one

extra eye cut straight up between the two ordinary ones. This is the

Prajna-eye (the eye of wisdom.) By means of this third eye the

enlightened are enabled to perceive reality yathabhutam, without

splitting it into two and then unifying them, for this splitting and

unifying is the work of abstract thinking. The Prajna-eye, placing

itself on the boundary line of Oneness and Manyness, of Sunyata and

Asunyata ... takes these two worlds at a glance as one Reality. "

" The effort to discover truth is a grand adventure, an age-long move

forward into increasing experience of the unknown and not a petty

stay-at-home rut. The pioneer must labour and suffer to learn as a

new truth that which his successors will enjoy as an old one.

Consistency is to be born like a welcome new suit of clothes when it

helps in the pursuit of truth, but it is to be discarded like a

shriveled old one when it hinders it. . . . In an age which

venerates the authority of science and which rejects anything

incapable of intellectual demonstration, it is no small task to

attempt to organize thought on the behalf of the wordless

transcendental reality, and make it march by its own inherent and

inexorable logic. We can prove that two and two make four, that the

earth is round, and that water is merely a combination of two gases;

but how shall we prove the reality of that which is above formulated

thought, which is wholly inaudible and forever invisible, and which

cannot be known until all arguments disappears? "

" After a man has achieved liberation in yoga, his acts will cease to

produce karmas. The remainder of his Earthly life will be governed

only by the karmas, which were already in existence before

liberation. He is like an actor on the last night of play. He knows

that the play will never be performed again, no matter how well he

does his part, no matter whether the audience boos or applauds. He

has nothing to gain by his performance. Nevertheless, he must play

it through to the final end until the final curtain falls and he can

go home. "

" In the field of scientific investigation, any great discovery

appears to be a revelation from the Universal Unconscious to a

specific researcher. The discovery is then broadcast for the benefit

of the entire human community. Then comes the elaboration and

culmination of the process. Take, for instance, electricity: the

laws, properties and applications of electrical energy manifested as

soon as the human beings started using the discovery. Sahaja Yoga

proceeds along the same lines...

 

All that is taking place now has been prophesied by the Scriptures

of different civilizations. Sahaja Yoga manifests this breakthrough

onto the new evolutionary plane for which the human race has been

waiting. This knowledge has come to us through the Universal

Unconscious. Now it is time to broadcast it. The beauty of Sahaja

Yoga blossoms in en masse realisation. The individual yogi

(microcosm) spreads to the society (macrocosm) the knowledge of the

great primordial Cosmic Being: THE VIRATA. That is the culminating

revelation that explains, integrates and fulfils all the previous

revelations. It is the fulfillment of the social contract between

God and His creation, Man. "
