What Shri Mataji said about the Adi Shakti & SY - Part 5

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 4 with:

 

" 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

Mataji Nirmala Devi - Shri Adi Shakti Puja, Cabella, Italy - 06.06. 1993)

 

Here now, is Part 5.

 

Enjoy!

What Shri Mataji said about the Adi Shakti & SY - Part 5

 

Now this incarnation is really a very unique type. So many incarnations came.

They came and [gave] words and said this is good, this is good, this is good.

Some people [who were] far away, were enamoured by them, but nothing was inside

their heart, whatever they heard! 'Alright, it is a sermon, it is a lecture, it

is a gitara [from the Gita?], that's all! Any life of such a person didn't have

that spark of the Divine within themselves! We have had lots of good people, who

lived in this short time, if you see. If you see, Mahatma Gandhi was there,

Adinath was there:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Rishabha#References_in_Hinduism, all kinds of

people you see, all over! Abraham Lincoln was there, George Washington was

there, William Blake was there; we had Shakespeare. All this style, we see in

the literature, in every way: Lao-Tse, then we had Socrates. It started from

Socrates until today. We have had lots of philosophers, lots of people who

talked about the higher life. It started from Socrates until today. We have had

lots of philosophers, lots of people who talked about the higher life. Despite

that, people were thinking these are some absurd people, there is nothing in it.

Nobody would read something, about the Guru Gita [for instance]; they would not!

They would think that what is this nonsense, what is the use, and [they would

be] going on like that! With this attitude that you see all around, when I

looked I said: Oh, how am I to tell them what they are, what they have to find?!

And it was really my desire that there should be some keenness in people, [even]

just a bit! If they give me a little chance, this Divine love is so subtle, that

it will just penetrate into their hearts! But they would not; they were just

like stones! You couldn't talk to them; you couldn't tell them what they were

doing, and the worst part is, that they thought no end of themselves! Under

these circumstances, Sahaja Yoga started! (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Shri Adi

Shakti Puja, Cabella, Italy - 06.06. 1993)

> 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!!!

> 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?!
