Dear Nicole and all,

 

Thank you for this great email. You have expressed this understanding

in such a deep way and i am grateful to you. i remember reaching the

place where in deep communion i did not want to make any movements

which would disturb the communion; rituals were the last thing on my

mind. To date, i had done a combination of sometimes manually and

other times using my attention only to raise my kundalini and give

myself a bandhan. But your confidence that you expressed to me, that

you only use your attention to do the same, has given me the

'permission', shall i say, to dispense with the manual form

completely, and i find it very freeing. What are we, if we are not

here to raise each other 'up', to a higher level - and therefore not

stay stuck on external rituals.

 

The other topic that is related to this is the whole of what you

describe, as the process that we pioneers had to go through, and that

we are so powerful now, though we may not realise it. For example,

how many SYs believe Shri Mataji when She told us that even a glance

from us, can raise others' Kundalinis?!

 

i remember going to Sydney Airport one year, before i came to SY,

when i saw all these Sahaja Yogis standing there with flowers. i

wondered who they were, and was greatly attracted, because they

seemed to radiate such beauty, purity, and innocence, which i

recognized. There was some kind of real attracting power there, which

was obviously the power of love. Only years later, did it occur to

me what i had witnessed, before i even came to Sahaja Yoga. i think

it is precious that i had come there at exactly the same time that

Shri Mataji was arriving. It gives me goose bumps to think of it now.

But, this is exactly the power that SYs have, though often they don't

realise it, or forget about that!

 

That is why i am increasingly confident that we are heading in the

right direction, without rituals, and using our attention only. That

is also why i am realising that we can enlighten others' candles

without any external rituals whatsoever, because of the powerful

Kundalini Awakening that has been unleashed through the pioneers of

Sahaja Yoga. And today this power is ever stronger than when we first

had our Kundalini Awakening. Giving others confidence is a very

important part of Kundalini Awakening. Shri Mataji always gave us

confidence in ourselves. With confidence, the powers work. Without

confidence, they don't work as well or don't work at all.

 

Thanks again for your great email, which explains things really well.

Sahaja Yoga has to become a Maha Yoga, 'A Great Yoga'. It has to

become the 'Maha Yoga of the Blossom Time'!

 

regards to all,

into a vast area of spirituality. You are the channels, and you are

going to generate this energy. If you were just channels, then your

responsibility would have been much less. "

" I am sure with all your love and affection for each other, for me,

and for the whole humanity, in My lifetime I will be able to see that

you have achieved that great state within yourself and without, that

people would say that the Maha Yoga has really been accomplished by

Sahaja Yogis. May God bless you. "

" In Sahaja Yoga there's no mystery. it's all just there. To me human

beings are a mystery. I don't understand them. I can't understand.

The Resurrection of Christ has to now be collective resurrection.

This is what is Mahayoga. Has to be the collective resurrection, and

for this collective resurrection first of all, Sahaja Yogis must

decide to be collective. Because through Kundalini awakening you

cross, no doubt-you cross through. But you enter an area of

collectivity and if you do not allow that collectivity to permeate

into you, then you come down. Supposing you become a state beyond the

elements, the state where you are a collective being. You're aware

that you're a part and parcel of the Whole. Youre aware that you have

to help your nose and your eyes because you're a part and parcel of

the Whole. You reach that stage where you understand: I'm as

important as other cells are and other cells are helped by me and

they have to sustain me. We are one. There should be complete

concord.

 

This awareness comes after realisation and if you do not understand

that this awareness, that this collective awareness is the only way

you can stay in that area, otherwise you get out. You start having

your smaller wells and you just go down into them. The more you

start to expand yourself you rise higher and then you are again with

your baddhas and whatever it is. But, if you think that I have to

live for the whole, I'm responsible for the whole, I'm responsible

for creating a nucleus of a cell which is going to look after the

Whole and if I fall down the rest also suffers; I have no business to

fall down because I have been resurrected to this point; I've entered

into the state of collectivity where my being, which is the Spirit,

is the collective being and I have to stay there, I have to be there,

I cannot fall, is not the way I can live.

 

But, I've seen after realisation also, people cannot get Out of their

shells. They still remain in the shell. They cannot spread their

wings and sing and get out of their shell and just fly. They cannot

do it. They still stick on to their small ways of life in a smaller

way, in every way. "

" Today, Sahaja Yoga has reached the state of Mahayoga, which is en-

masse evolution manifested through it. It is this day's Yuga Dharma.

It is the way the Last Judgment is taking place. Announce it to all

the seekers of truth, to all the nations of the world, so that nobody

misses the blessings of the divine to achieve their meaning, their

absolute, their spirit. "

 

Shri Mataji

 

 

Note: And how can we, the men of God and women of God, take this

banner of the New Age of transforming Sahaja Yoga into Maha Yoga, into

a vast area of spirituality that will be accepted by the faithful

followers of all religious and spiritual traditions?

 

" The Self is the Spirit. This Spirit resides in the heart of every

human being and is in a witness-like state. The Spirit is the

projection of God Almighty, while the Kundalini is the projection of

the power of God, of His desire which is the Primordial Mother, or

you can call it Adi Shakti, Holy Ghost or Athena. So the Kundalini is

the projection of the Holy Ghost, while the Spirit is the projection

of God Almighty. The All-pervading Power of love is the power of the

Primordial Mother, which creates and evolves, and does all the living

work. "

only now despite spending so many years meditating, checking the

scriptures and listening to Shri Mataji's speeches?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

gods. What have you got to say, being a Sikh yourself?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

own experiences). Should I continue with my meditations and ignore

them or try to explain to them? What do you suggest?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

Answer: Silence on Self

Answer: Silence on Self

 

 

Question: Some religions claim that humans are divine in nature and

that liberation is from within. Can you tell me how all this is

realized in such a hectic and materialistic world?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

 

 

Question: As a SY I am concerned that after Shri Mataji takes

Mahasamadhi there will great grief and sense of loss. How can I cope

with this eventuality and continue my faith and devotion? Do I

continue to meditate on Her photo even though She is not physically

present anymore?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

 

 

Question: Jagbir, you are already telling us to discard Shri Mataji's

photo and meditate on Her is the Sahasrara. A number of SYs have been

offended by this and have left the forum. What makes you so sure you

are right?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

 

 

Question: What is the most profound and deepest enlightenment you

have discovered after all these years, based on the teachings of Shri

Mataji? She also claims that all religions teach the same truth about

the spirit. How is that so given all the religious differences and

centuries-old rivalry?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

 

 

Question: Hi, man-made religions, sects and denominations are wide

spread. So much misdeeds and divisions are committed and blood is

shed in the name of God and religion. Is there a way to make humans

realize that they are all worshipping the One and same Creator, no

matter how different religious organizations have made God to be?

 

Answer: Silence on Self

 

 

Question: It seems that religions are all preaching about a God that

is to be found only in their organizations. Why then is it that the

Divine can only be realized through one's own experience? What and

where is God then?
