Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Dear All, Here is an excerpt from Shri Mataji, which was sent to me from a SY in 2005. It is relevant for this Easter Season. Enjoy! love to all, violet Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Excerpt, Easter Puja, 23 April, 2000.... I cannot understand how you can religiously understand a poetry. Whatever is written, how can you interpret it correctly? This is the reason why I, [being] a poet also, could have written a poetry about it, but I said " No " . Poetry can twist, can be twisted, and people can also misuse it. That's the problem with poetry. In India we had the same problem. For example, Kabira wrote such beautiful poetry, and the way they interpreted [his poetry] was so nonsensical and so different from the spirit of Kabira's songs. About everything, they can twist the words according to their own need, I found out. If I wrote poetry about divinity, it's exactly what has happened in all the religions, I see. When it comes to poetry, people can twist it. Also like in the Bible. It was so much accepted that Paul is the one who is going to organize the publication about Christ. AND HE ALSO DIDN'T WANT TO WRITE ABOUT THE RESURRECTION! He didn't want to write about the Immaculate Conception! All these things were in his mind, and so Thomas had to run away to India, and John refused to write anything! [break Quote] [Note]: Folks, can we see a similar scenario in Sahaja Yoga today? i think so! [End Note] [Resume Quote of Shri Mataji]: Because all such people take charge, they become in charge, they think 'they' are responsible for this, while they are not at all capable; they don't have the right to do this! As a result of that, Christianity took a very wrong attitude towards the inner growth of human beings. You see the result of that today. When you see what's happening with the Catholic Church, you are amazed how such an organization can be a religious organization, where all kinds of nonsensical things are going on! I was also born in a Christian family, and I was shocked the way they interpreted Christ's life and the way it [was] talked about with great authority! Books and books were written! They give big, big sermons, though there is no truth in their talk! Even my father said the same. Because all these books, came much after the authors, of these books. [break Quote] [Note]: Shri Mataji's father was a " renowned scholar, master of 14 languages, and translated the Koran in Marathi " : http://www.sahajayoga.com.au/info/aboutSMND/default.asp.shtml [Resume Quote of Shri Mataji]: Secondly, those who tried to write it, were not authorized to do that. They were not spiritual people. They all wanted to have power. They wanted to have power in religion! The power in religion is " inside " and " that " should be awakened. I must say, thanks to the Sufis of this country and other countries, that people still think there is something beyond these words, talks and books. This is something, such a blessing that we have, that in every country, we had someone who talked about reality, about the truth - though they were condemned, they were tortured, and so many of them were killed. This is happening even today. i find that people don't want to listen to reality, to the truth! (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Easter Puja - April 23, 2000) [Folks, it is very interesting that Shri Mataji said this last paragraph as late as the year 2000! Was She giving a subtle hint of warning, that what happened with Paul in Christianity, is happening all over again with 'the Pauls' in Sahaja Yoga, who also don't want to write about the Resurrection?!] But Christ has risen, and we also can rise, while yet in our physical bodies! This is what Hindus call " kundalini awakening " which is what the Christians call the awakening of the Holy Spirit within a person. It is the same thing. The power of the Holy Spirit, that lies dormant in the sacrum bone at the base of the spinal column, awakens and raises the person's Spirit to the Kingdom of God within: http://holyspirit-shekinah.org/7_holy_spirit_baptizes_you.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
