What Shri Mataji said about the Adi Shakti & SY - Part 4

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

In the appended, Shri Mataji describes the adverse circumstances human beings

were under when She came. She thought that She may have come a bit too early,

but when She saw all the false gurus around, mesmerising people with their

charms, She decided to start Sahaja Yoga, and show people that they could have

their Self-realisation, and thereby transform themselves.

 

Shri Mataji mentions how the people's families had broken up due to war, and how

the children were left without love, who became angry, and how the religions

were conditioning the people into a blind faith. Shri Mataji mentions how the

people started cheating each other, how they became jealous of each other, each

wanting a higher position than the other, and while all this was going on, they

were still teasing or 'pulling each other's legs', along with it. It was

obviously a nightmare; a mixed, confused lot of people, that Shri Mataji started

Sahaja Yoga with. i remember that Shri Mataji said at Sydney Airport in the mid

1990's, that the SYS that came later, would be greater, deeper, yogis, in

comparison to the earlier very damaged yogis, of whom many had been involved in

drugs, and other things. But Shri Mataji had to start somewhere, before Her

Blossom Time Message, Her Resurrection Time Message, could even be understood! i

imagine it is largely these early people, that perhaps understood Sahaja Yoga

mainly as the Sahaja Yoga Subtle System Religion (SYSSR), rather than Her

overriding Blossom Time/Resurrection Message to the world-at-large, which it

really is!!!

What Shri Mataji said about the Adi Shakti & SY - Part 4

 

Adi Shakti had to assert with complete force. The first thing She realised is

that one should know what love is. A child grows in the family. If the children

do not get the proper attention from the father or mother, or if they're

spoiled, overindulged or neglected, then the child doesn't know what love is.

Love doesn't mean that you spoil the child or you give him lots of toys to play

with to get rid of him. It means that your attention is on the child all the

time. And that attention is not indulgence, but an attention for the benevolence

of the child. So all the time you are seeing that there is benevolence. And thus

I thought that it is very important that the family life has to be the first

[priority].

 

Because these days also, under the name of religion, they have started nunneries

and priests, and sanyasis and all kinds of babas. They are so dry and they are

so misleading to people, that people started taking to this kind of sanyasa -

getting out of their houses and running away from their wives and children. So

the first point I realised is that human beings cannot have have known what is

love! And this love is more effective, if it is collective.

 

You must have seen that in India people really love each other in a family. I

mean, [we have] so many relations, that we don't know how we are related to

them. We just call them brother, sister, this, that. We also don't know what the

relationship is - whose father [someone is] or whose sister [someone is], but we

just feel that this is our brother. And if you ask: how is your brother, you

wouldn't know how your brother is. The reason is, that we had joint families.

The joint family system, is just like a collective system. So nobody knew who

was his real brother, who was his step brother, who was his cousin. They all

lived together, as just relations. But then this joint family [system] also

broke, because of economic reasons and things like that, whatever it is. So now

at this time, when you see this, [a] very crucial time it was, when the people

had to know love, and the family started breaking [up] in every country,

especially say, Western countries. For men and women never realised the

importance of family life. They never had faith in their family life. So it

became a shifty thing for poor children; they were on shifting hours, and could

not go properly, so it created a generation of violent, horribly possessed,

children. This generation, then went into... they don't know, they feel like

fighting. I have seen children fighting with a tree. I said: " why are you

fighting? It is not nice to fight you know. " But why are they fighting? They

don't know! The reason is, there is no love, so everything that you see, you

detest: 'I don't like it, I don't like it'; you detest everything. You try out

of your frustration, to destroy anything that you see.

 

So a new trend started. Apart from the war, when it was over, naturally the

value system dropped down. People felt what is the use, you see, we had all

these values, so what did we get? And war, what is the war for? War has just

killed all our societies, they have killed our children, everybody, and what is

so great about this war? So the mind of the people on the whole, was, you see

some are rather, you must fight, like the fittest man is best. So the one who

can dominate, the one who can come out [on top] is the best. So the domination

of this imperial style of government was over, but individually, it became a

process of domination. With this process of domination, ego started developing.

Even with children, they used to give education in such a way, that the children

became very arrogant, very artificial, extremely arrogant and artificial. It was

impossible to understand, why these children were not at all controlled, were

told that this is wrong. Because the parents also, took a very, very, defensive

attitude. They would not face their children and tell them what is wrong. They

were so attached to that idea that these children will leave us, that they said:

all right, do what you like, but stay with us. Under these circumstances even

human beings as such, were wriggling between a good family life and divorces and

a funny society, which believes in sharing women or sharing men and all kinds of

things.

 

So what a terrible situation there was, for Adi Shakti, to assert herself. Then

also there was a very big problem, about these religions asserting themselves,

their own ideas, their own conditionings on people, [making them] absolutely

blind! [Note: Shri Mataji has also referred to it as 'blind faith']. So it was

turmoil it was a turmoil and at this turmoil state only, the Adi Shakti had to

come, to establish the dharma. She had to work it out, to establish the dharma

[again]. It was a very [shocking place?], very [shocking?] people were there,

but when I was born I was shocked, who the people were! At that time, I don't

think I met many seekers. Of course, I met one or two realised souls, but mostly

they were worried about their insurance, their money, this or that, and if you

talked to them, where were they from, from some wilderness or something?! You

don't know what to say to them! How could you start telling them about Divine

love, when they were not seekers?!

 

Then gradually, I felt confident. [At] first, I thought I had come a little

early [and] that I should have made this touch [connection?] slightly more,

[i.e. stronger by waiting a little longer] but he [the adversary] had everyone,

and every individual was against another individual, and they were cheating each

other, and they were also very jealous of each other, and also wanted to have

higher positions and this and that, over others. [Meanwhile], they wanted to

pull everyone's legs [i.e. tease each other at the same time]. So maybe, there

was no room for Sahaja Yoga. But then, I saw all these horrible false gurus,

also throwing their own charms on people, and trying to come forward. That made

me really, really, think that now I better stop worrying as to what sort of

people there are, 'let's start', and that is how the first [meeting?] took place

in England, that is, [on] the fifth of May, 1970, in the morning. Opposite there

[the location] had also been some events, which made me hurry up to do it. I was

quite ready! I knew what the problem of human beings, was! But I thought that

maybe they may never accept, that they can get their Self-realisation. (Shri
