Excerpted Highlights from Shri Mataji's Talk - Part 1

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here are some excerpted highlights regarding what Shri Mataji talked about at

Caxton Hall, London, on 10 December 1979. That was the year my son Adam was

born, which means this talk is 29 years old as of this December 2008! My how

time flies! The basic subject matter in this talk is regarding the message of

Christ and the dangers one can have in sustaining their realization.

 

Btw., talking about my son, Adam. When he was a baby, i had not yet come to

Sahaja Yoga, but i was spiritually informed and interested in spiritual healing.

One day, i put my right hand over his head to feel his aura, and to my

astonishment, i felt this strong cool breeze come out of the top of his head, as

strong as a blast of cool air from a vacuum cleaner, and that is no

exaggeration. You can imagine how astounded i was! i tried to think what it

could be! i tried to think who i could ask about it, but nobody came to mind! i

had never heard of such a thing!

 

i didn't know back then, that i would find out about it one day. Real life is

more amazing than what you read in books, isn't it? Now, of course, i know that

it was the Cool breeze of the Kundalini energy that was coming out of his

Sahasrara! And this happened and i felt it, before ever knowing about the Cool

Breeze, or about Sahaja Yoga!

 

So see, how the Holy Spirit is trying to awaken people to this new Advent of the

Holy Spirit on earth! She is awakening many people today, people who have not

even come to Sahaja Yoga yet, but they will.

 

i hope you enjoy these excerpts, which will be in a few parts.

 

regards to all,

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

The Message of Christ and the Inherent Dangers

of Sustaining the Realization

Caxton Hall, London

10 December 1979

 

 

" This is the day for us to remember that Christ was born on this earth as a

human being. He came on this earth and the task that was before Him was to

enlighten human awareness with the sense of understanding, that we can see its

actualization within the awareness of human beings, that they're not this body,

but they are the spirit. "

 

 

" The message of Christ was His resurrection, that is, you are your spirit; not

your body. And He showed by His resurrection how He ascended into the realm of

spirit, which He was, because He was 'Pranava'. He was Brahma, He was

Mahavishnu. And He came on this earth in a body like a human being. "

 

 

" He wanted to show another thing, that spirit has nothing to do with money, has

nothing to do with power. It is all-powerful, all-pervading. But He was born in

a stable; not in a palace or to a king but He was born to a very ordinary

person, a carpenter. "

 

 

" Wordly things are just like dry grass. So He [Christ] was [so-called] kept in

the dry grass! To many, it makes them unhappy and they feel very sorry that

Christ, the one who came to save us, was kept under such conditions and why did

God not provide Him with something better? But to such people, it doesn't matter

whether you are lying in the dried grass or in the stable, or in a palace.

Everything is just the same, because it does not touch them. They are so

detached! And they are completely in joy! They are the Masters of themselves;

nothing can master them. No matter can master them, no comfort can master them.

They are masters of complete comforts within themselves. They are satisfied

people, which is why they are called as kings, not kings that run after things

or who seek the comforts of life. I mean if you have comforts, well and good. If

you do not have [comforts] well and good; [it] makes no difference! "

 

 

" We have our own concepts about God, that why should He be a poor man? Why

should He be helpless? He never showed His helplessness! He was more dynamic

than all your kings and politicians put together! He was not afraid of anyone!

Whatever he had to say, he said it. He was not afraid of crucifixion or of any

so-called punishment. It is only the human beings you see, who have these false

ideas about life and that's why they want to put these ideas on to God also, and

try and make Him also follow these concepts! "

 

 

" God is not your concepts. He is not a concept at all! You also say that, " A

concept is after all a concept, not an actuality! " This i have found out very

recently! That is another myth that people carry i.e. 'a concept is a concept'.

" All right, Mataji says 'all right'. " So what? But even this is a concept,

because [a] concept is a thought! "

 

 

" You have to rise beyond thought at a higher level into thoughtless awareness,

where you are not in thought, but you are in the centre of thought, in the sense

that one thought rises and falls; another thought rises and falls, and there is

a place in between. You are in the centre of these thoughts, the 'Vilamba' as we

call it - the time where you pause. Then, you will understand Christ. "

 

 

" This is another [thing]: human beings demanded that they must be saved! Why?

Why should all of them be saved? What have they done for God? How can you demand

from God that He should save us? Can you? You cannot ask for that! "

 

 

" He was here not only to save human beings, but He came on this earth, because

He had many more aspects. He came to create the passage between the Vishuddhi

and the Sahasrara, which is this Agna [Narrow Gate] in the Primordial being, the

Virata. He was born there, to open that Door. In evolution, every incarnation

has come on this earth to open a door within us and to create that opening or

that enlightenment in our awareness. So Christ came precisely to open this small

little door, which is constricted by our ego and superego. "

 

 

" Ego and superego are the two by-products of our thought process. One are the

thoughts of the past and another the thoughts of the future. He came to make, to

cross, that gap and that's how he sacrificed Himself, His body. For you it is a

very big thing of remorse and repentance, but for such people it is not. It's a

play; that they have to play a certain role. That's why I do not understand why

you show Him to be so skinny, starved [looking], bones coming out! From His

childhood till His death, He was a joyous person. He was happiness, He was joy,

to make you all happy, to give you the light of happiness by enlightening your

source of joy that is your spirit in your heart. He came on this earth not only

to save you but to give you happiness, to give you joy, because human beings in

their ignorance, their tomfoolery, are unnecessarily beating themselves and

destroying themselves! Nobody has asked you to go to pubs, to get into troubles.

Nobody has asked you to go to races and become bankrupts. Nobody has asked you

to go to horrible Gurus and get into troubles. But you seek your destruction

voluntarily. He came like a morning flower to make you happy. First to make you

happy, to give you joy! "

 

 

" But you see a child anywhere, any child, such a joy-giving thing it is! This

[Christ] is the child of the Divine, that came on this earth as a child. It's

the most joy-giving thing and that's why Christmas for all of us, for the whole

universe, should be a festival of great joy! For he brought light for us, by

which we can see that there is someone called as " God " ; there is someone who is

going to remove this ignorance. This was the first beginning [of the light]. So

for us it is necessary to be joyous, happy and relaxed and not to take anything

as seriously as we do, because Divine life does not make you serious! Because it

is all a 'play'. It is a Maya. "

 

 

" I have seen in all the rituals people follow, in all the so-called religious

people, they are too serious to be religious! A religious person is bubbling

with laughter! He does not know how to hide his joy and he does not know how to

control his laughter, when he sees people unnecessarily serious! I mean, nobody

is dead! The way people say it sometimes, you just don't know what to do with

yourself. There is nothing in the world for a person like Christ to feel sad

about. If you really believe in Him, then first of all, please give up this

silly sadness and sulking and sitting down and becoming morose, not talking to

anyone; silent bores all over. "

 

 

" This is not the way to look at Christ. See how he went and talked to the

multitudes! How he opened His heart to all the people around and He tried to

give them happiness. He has said that you are to be born again, that is, He had

to do this work and that you have to get it sometime. He has promised that you

have actually to be born again. Christ is to be born within us. I do not know

what Christians understand out of this? How do you become 'born again'? Not by

going through the ritual of baptism! Somebody coming from the theological

college, cannot make you a Christian! You have to be a person who is authorised

by God. Unless and until you are authorized by God, you cannot give joy. "
