Excerpted Highlights from Shri Mataji's Talk - Part 7

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 6 with:

 

" People just say: " Oh, it is too much! " because they do not want to face the

reality. Because as soon as your Kundalini comes up, as soon as the light comes

in, before the eyes are closed, you suddenly see the light come in, and you do

not want to open your eyes, because it's too much, for you were sleeping! Even

if you open your eyes a little bit, Oh God!... you do not want to face the

light, because you are identitied with that [former] state. You do not want to

open your eyes! Kundalini opens your eyes, no doubt! But again you close it

down! So it's in your freedom to give up that 'Akarmanyata' [i.e. your tendency

'to not want to work it out']. (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Formal Talk, 'The

Message of Christ and the Inherent Dangers of Sustaining the Realization',

Caxton Hall, England – 10 December, 1979)

 

Folks, here are the inherent dangers in sustaining the realization, that Shri

Mataji has given thus far:

 

1. Going to the extent of cleaning the outer temple of the body so that a

religion of first importance is given to that, while the most important part

which is to be given to God - becomes of second importance.

 

2. Akarmanyata - a person not wanting to work it out because they are too lazy

and it is just too much for them.

 

3. Akramanyata - losing the vibrations, not believing in them, but still coming

back to Shri Mataji for healing a year later, rather than themselves equipping

themselves with their own innate powers of spiritual healing.

 

Here now is Part 7 regarding the message of Christ and the dangers inherent in

sustaining the realization.

 

Enjoy!

The Message of Christ and the Inherent Dangers of Sustaining the Realization -

by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi....

 

Kundalini opens your eyes, no doubt! But again you close it down. So it's in

your freedom to give up that 'Akarmanyata' [i.e. your tendency 'to not want to

work it out'].

 

Now this can also be very collective. I can tell you this much, it is a very big

'disease' and it spreads - like the husband says that 'the wife is there'. The

wife is one like that, instead of the husband raising the wife, he will succumb

to the wife, especially in the West. It is just the opposite in India, because

there, the husband is more dominating, and a wife will succumb to her husband.

 

So what happens is that out of the two who have got it, [the two] have also lost

it. Instead of both of them being very well realized, and [they] could both be

very well realized, if the one could put [assert] his will [and say]: " No, I

will check, I have eyes to see, let me see, I must give myself a chance " ... If

they accept it then, it works out, and then they go to the second step.

 

Everything cannot just be like a finer jet, [i.e.], sit down here, and the next

moment you are on the moon! Even if you " are " on the moon, you may start with

the third danger which is 'Sanshaya', doubt. I do not know how to describe this

madness of doubting. For example, out of all of you who have been here, a

certain percentage have the second day come out with the great statement of:

 

" Still I am doubting " .

 

Is that a sign of wisdom?! What are you doubting?! What have you found so far?

Where does this [doubting] come from? It is 'Mr. Ego' about which I have given

lecture after lecture! It is 'Mr. Ego' who is 'doubting it'. Because he does not

want you to find the Absolute! You are identified with your ego and you do not

want to find the Absolute because this 'Mr. Ego' has been guiding your life

through, so now you want to doubt! Doubt what?! What are you doubting?!

 

You feel the cool breeze. All right, sit down then! It would be something like

somebody entering a college or university, sitting down there, and the teacher

saying: " Now, this is the diagram I will give you " . The students then get up and

say: " We doubt! "

 

Really, what can the teacher say?!

 

But they [the students] will not say anything because they have paid their fees.

Even if it is a horrible, boring, drama, they will still go through with it

because they have paid. But for Sahaja Yoga, you cannot pay!

 

I have seen all kinds of tomfoolery with people accepting so many Gurus, like

somebody says: " I am going to teach you to fly! " They [the students] are

absolutely ready for that, pay the money, and do not doubt even one little bit -

[not even] that the fellow who is propagating it, is he flying?! Have you seen

him flying anywhere?! Please! At least ask that person to fly!

 

[Yet] they will see the Kundalini rising. With their eyes they will see it

pulsating, rising, breaking here; still they will sit down and say: " I am

doubting! "

 

Now, who are you? How far have you reached? " Why " are you doubting? " What " are

you doubting? " What " have you known about your Self? Now, humble yourself at

this point. Humble down in your heart: " I have not known my Self. I have to know

my Self. I have not known my Self. I have not got the Absolute. With what

instrument, am I doubting? " This is one of the greatest hurdles of Kundalini

awakening - even after awakening! Called 'Sanshaya', doubt. (Shri Mataji Nirmala

Devi - Formal Talk, 'The Message of Christ and the Inherent Dangers of

Sustaining the Realization', Caxton Hall, England – 10 December, 1979)
