A Revolutionary New Awareness

So we have to awaken ourselves into that new awareness by which we can know the absolute truth and we can know that divine power which is surrounding us. All this compartments that we have made around ourselves will break and we'll see the dawn of a new era where we will know that all of us are capable of achieving that great height of awareness.

Sahaja Yoga and Thanksgiving

"But you are at a different level now. So it's more of a thanksgiving to your own kundalini and to Adi Shakti, glorifying that whatever has happened so miraculously is because of the kundalini which was within you, which was reflected by the Adi Shakti. But one has to know that only we are realized souls is not the point, only that we can feel the vibrations is not the point, that we can give realizations to other is also not the point. Then what is it? Very important – it’s the content within us. What do we have within us is the point. These are all the expressions of what we have within.

Supposing somebody is generous, then know that he’s a rich man, otherwise he cannot be. So the content within us we have to see. And when we start seeing the content, where do we find in the nature there is real content? We say the sea. Sea is there you see, full of water. So much of water it sucks in from everywhere and then it allows itself to be boiled by the sun and gives rain. But sea is the lowest level, stands at the lowest level and sucks in all the water from everywhere."

-- 1989 Navaratri Puja in England

One truth about ourselves

At the very outset, we have to know what we are seeking. We are seeking the truth. But what is the truth? The truth is that we are not this body, we are not these emotions, this intellect, this ego, these conditionings, but we are the Spirit, the Pure Spirit. This is one truth about ourselves.

Power flows from Humility

"... see for yourself how many powers you have already got and the more you'll know, the more you'll become humble. It's very surprising, you'll become humble, no fear of any kind..." (quote from Navaratri Puja, 9 October 1994, Cabella. Italy)

Spiritual Quality of Russians

'Everywhere I have travelled into far remote areas and found that the people of Russia are the best amongst them. They are indeed half-Sahaja Yogis already and many are Sahaja Yogis as well. I could not go to Russia this year. I shall definitely visit next year'.[Mahalaksmi Puja, 10.11.2007, Noida, NCR, India)

Significance of the Americas

"if America works out, the rest of the world will follow."

(Shri Mataji about SY in America on Sahasrara Day 2008, Cabella)

The Power is in the Depth of your Meditation - the Horizontal Movement

But My horizontal movement is quite large and is very subtle, and I do it quietly. But you must also understand that you can do a lot by your horizontal movement. By horizontal movement what happens, that you start meditating on a particular subject which is a very bothersome subject, and which is for the destruction of humanity. Anything. You just put your attention to it and meditate. If you are that deep, that means if your caliber has improved to that extent, you will immediately put an effect on that. Immediately you will see, there will be a change. There will be something happening in that direction. This is your power, which you have to actually develop.

[1987-05-06 - The need to go deeper, Sydney, Australia]

Our Chakras are made of these Essences - the Subtle Movement

To work out many things of that kind we have to be deep people, we have to go much deeper within ourselves to touch our essences; at least, you know very well that all our chakras are made out of these essences, and when we go deep into ourselves what we find, that we can touch the elements very well. But while doing so, actually we move horizontally. When we start moving horizontally, at the core of it we find that there are these essences placed, and these essences then start exciting the essences across. Like in the radio you have seen, there's ether. Now when you speak on one side of the radio, it gets completely manifested in the essence of the ether, and then everybody can hear it. Now when you people just give a bandhan sometimes, you find that you have communicated with another person, but that's only the essence of the ether; we can say, the subtler of the subtlest. People have only gone on to the subtler side, we can say, by science; but you go to the subtler side, and that subtler side gives you all these effects.

Reach your own Essences - the Essences of all the Elements

The deeper you go, the deeper you touch the essences of all the things, like all the elements. When you had finished your meditation you saw how the rain fell down, how the rain came suddenly. So rain has felt your depth, or you have felt the depth of rain. Now you know that if you light one little candle and put your finger towards it, with My photograph there, it acts. It reacts and it gives you a flame which burns, sometimes gives you smoke, sometimes it gallops, so you have noticed that there's a reaction even in the fire. So all elements have an effect, if a saint wants to have an effect, but first of all you must reach your own essences. Once you reach your own essences, then you reach the essences of all the elements, and then you can handle all the elements as you like, or you can order them as you like. First they will act, expressing that they have been touched. Like today, the rain came pouring down. Then later on you can command, and you can ask the rain to come.

Develop your Depth

I am happy that you all were meditating here, and were trying to develop your depth. You all have depth, a very deep personality within yourself. But we have to touch that, that's very important, because you see, we sing, have music, that's a very good thing. We enjoy each other's company, also is very good and that's a nice thing, but we have to enjoy our own company also, by meditating, going within yourself.

"Now, what is the use?" one may ask. "Mother, now we have got Realization, we have a nice life, we are enjoying ourselves, and we are doing so well."

Krishna Puja Evening Program (2007)

(See video link below)

"I wanted to thank all of you for enjoying this wonderful music from different parts of America. And that shows Sahaja Yoga has a great chance – if it works out this way in America, it will work out everywhere… And it will give the peace and the joy of leading a spiritual life.

I’m so very happy to see all of you here, and all of you enjoying this very encouraging for Me and very supportive of Sahaja Yoga! I bless you all, all… from America and all lands. I’m told that you are from different countries, so all the people, I bless you!

We should know we are all one! There is no need to fight, or no need to argue. But let us enjoy the common thing, as we enjoyed this program tonight.

I hope you are comfortable here. (Shri Mataji is looking around Herself, watching the pendal.) I don’t know, I haven’t seen, I had no chance to see how your things are placed. But if you have any complains or any problem, please, let Me know. (Everybody bursts out laughing, applause; Shri Mataji is laughing, too; great applause, ‘Jay!’ Shri Mataji is laughing.)

Thank you very much! Thank you!"

Establish our Pure Desire

1985-03 Lonawala

"Today, first of all we have to establish our desire
within ourselves, that we are seekers and that we have
to achieve our full growth and maturity. Today’s Puja
is for the whole universe. The whole universe should
have to be enlightened with this desire. Your desire
should be so intense that they should emit out the
pure vibrations of Mahakali Shakti which is the pure
desire of attaining the Spirit. That’s the real
desire. All other desires are like a mirage. You are
the people who are chosen by God specially, first to
express the desire and then to achieve that intense
desire of purity. You have to purify the whole world,
not only the seekers, but even those who are not
seekers. You have to create an aura around this
universe of desire to achieve the Ultimate, the
Spirit."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:

Humility and Powers

"... see for yourself how many powers you have already got and the more you'll know, the more you'll become humble. It's very surprising, you'll become humble, no fear of any kind..."
