Start writing diaries

Now there are two types of attention we have to pay. First is the constant attention that is the routine of a Sahaja Yogi and the second one is the emergency attention.


I have been seeing that all the Sahaja Yogis must start writing their diaries – one with everyday’s experiences. If you know that you have to write a diary, you will keep your mind alert and another one wherever you get any special idea of the past or of the future also to jot it down.


So like that you should have two diaries.For your constant attention you have to fix up your mind on certain facts. The first one, as I said that, if you keep a diary then you will know that you have to remember what important things have happened.


So, your attention will be alert and you will be looking out for such points where what is the things you see. And you will be amazed if you make your attention alert, what new things come to you.


Very brilliant ideas and the miracles of life and the miracles of God’s beauty and His auspiciousness, His greatness, His kindness, His blessings. How to work out if you start writing everyday even a two lines about it which will make your mind constantly involved within. That’s a human style of doing things.


Also you can mention in the diary, what happened with you? Could you do your meditation? Did you get your time for meditation or not. A little bit as if you are appearing for some sort of a examination or something prepare a little note like that. Did I get up in the morning? Did I?


Then any special path or any special movement in the centre or left or right also should be mentioned, so that you keep a watch on your mind. It’s a very good thing to maintain a diary.


Also you will keep progressively how your ideas are changed? How new priorities are settling down? How you give more importance to real things and very little to unreal things. I think this is a very-very practical side of human beings that one should have a diary.


Same diaries after sometimes will become historical things and people would like to see what you all have written, not to be hypocritical about it or deceptive about it but quite truthful and understanding you should jot down few lines just before sleeping.

Lead a moral life

Now the fourth thing, the fourth Statute of the Lord is to lead a moral life. These Statutes were given by all the Gurus, take them from Socrates onward, Moses, Abraham, Dattatreya, Janaka, up to, say, Nanak, Mohammad Sahib, and take up to the point where it was only about a hundred years back you can say, at the most, was Sai Nath.




All of them have said that you have to lead a moral life. None of them have said that you do not get married, that you do not talk to your wife, that you have no relationship with your wife; all this is nonsensical.




Lead a moral life. When you are young, not married, keep your eyes on the ground; Mother Earth gives you that innocence by which you develop that principle within you, is very important principle. Its such a pure principle, it really helps the society to develop its dignity.




Now think, in a society where you do not know who is your sister, who is your brother, who is your mother, what complications it can create; what confusion, what unhappiness. It is one of the most essential things for human beings, to be moral. For animals it is not necessary.




Most of the confusions and problems, specially in the Western life, have come because they have thrown morality in the sea, and to accept morality as the very basis of society, its very difficult for them, its a complete reversion.




But you have to do it, you have to turn the whole wheel back. So, many things were done in the beginning of the society to establish this pure relationship.




There are laws which act, as if there are laws of, chemical laws are there, there are physical laws are there, in physics and chemistry. Indeed, there are human laws which one should understand.




The relationships between each other, the sublimity of their relationship, the purity of their relationship must be understood, and then only you can have a very, very happy married life, which is the basis.




'Thou shall not commit adultery.' But Christ has said - perhaps He knew the modern people as they would be using their brains for this - He said: 'Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes.'




What a vision, in those days to think; I mean, even I could not understand it when I was in India. After only coming here I could see that, what did it mean. Its a possession on the eyes, possession.




It's a joyless, useless behavior, its tiring. Attention is frittered away completely; there's no dignity. Eyes should be steady. When you look at somebody steadily you should know that you have got Sahaja Yoga in you; with love, with respect, with dignity. Not staring at people and just playing into the hands of these possessions. The whole society is possessed.




All the satanic forces have been let loose, I think, and the way people are possessed, they cannot see through these things. And they are supposed to be Christians! Attention is to be looked after.




Thats the most important thing, because attention is the one which is going to be enlightened.So we have to know what morality is. Let people laugh at us, let them say that: 'These are goodie-goodies', or this sort of thing. We are!




We are proud of it. We are not ashamed of being righteous people. This is a very important part of righteousness. Those who do not follow this will lose their vibrations very fast.

RAJA JANAKA

There is a beautiful story told by Shri Mataji about Raja Janaka:



“You know, kind Janaka was called as ‘Videha’. The great sage Narada asked him one day, ‘Revered Sir, how are you called as Videha? You live in this world. How can you be a Videha? Raja Janaka said, ‘this is very simple.




I will tell you about it in the evening. Now please do this little job for me. There is milk in this bowl. You take this bowl and come along with me. Please see that not a single drop of milk is spilled on the earth. Then only will I tell you why I am called Videha.’




Narada took the bowl and followed Janaka everywhere. He had to be very careful because the bowl was such that by the slightest movement the milk might have spilled. He got quite tired. When they retired for the evening, Narada asked, ‘please tell me now. I am getting quite fed up with carrying this bowl and following you everywhere at the same time.’





Raja Janaka said, ‘first of all tell me what you have seen? Narada replied, ‘Nothing except this bowl of milk so that it won’t spill.’ Raja Janaka said, ‘Didn’t you see there was a big procession in My honour, then there was a court wherein there was a program of dancing? Didn’t you see anything? Narada answered,’ No, Sir, I have not seen anything.’



Raja Janaka said, ‘My Child likewise with Me, I also see nothing. All the time, I just watch my attention, where it is going making sure that it won’t spill away like the milk.”




Explaining Chitta-nirodh, Shri Mataji said, “This sort of attention one has to develop by watching attention. Chitta-Nirodh. Nirodh means the saving of your attention. So your attention should not be on saving money and worldly things and all that, but attention itself must be saved.


As you watch your money,
as you watch your road when you drive,
as you watch your child when it is growing,
as you watch the beauty of your wife, or the care of your husband
all put together you watch yourself, your attention.”


(DCB January- February 2005)

Thy will be done

The attention can be concentrated now, after Realization only. But even realized souls have to work it out. This is the biggest problem that I think I see, that our attention is so distributed we cannot do anything in a concentrated manner. That’s why there is guru shopping also going on. We also cannot do our Sahaja Yoga in a concentrated manner….. It becomes mobile, spread all over. It doesn’t reach any depth or height either. If you put them together, then it will work out…..




So to clear the attention, clear this garbage into that clear cut, beautiful lakes, you have to go within. You have to allow it to sediment. You have to take pride. By it’s own nature it will come, the beauty. And then you will see a ripple in that lake within you, a peaceful space in which you will see the bliss of God flowing into you, through you, you observing it and seeing it manifesting into the other. That is what needs to be asked for. No mental activity can do that. It is only the desire to be that works it. Only the desire to be one with God works it. Mental activity, rationality saps it. Through rationality, you cannot reach God……




It is said, “Those who will be blessed have to humble down in their heart.” It is very true. It is very, very true that we have to humble down in our hearts, so that it will work. And keep your attention steady.




Is it too much that I’m asking? You started with a very humble heart as a child. Only in this life all this has been accumulated a bit too much. In past life you were not like that-much better off. Only in this lifetime you have crossed the limit a little bit. It’s not difficult to recede.





So just try to humble down in your heart and it will work out. Every time you get your touching of the kundalini or, you can say, the breakthrough, every time you get that experience, keep it in your memory and desire for it and it will work out. Do not keep in memory the faults that you have had, where you have been.




When you climb up on top of a hill or a mountain, you don’t remember all the ditches you have fallen into in your childhood. You enjoy the atmosphere on the hilltop. Make it a strong memory within you and try to keep it there. I know for some people it’s difficult. They came down, again go up. Because of the problems they’ve had before, the kundalini comes down. But in Sahaja Yoga, there is all arrangement. But if the desire is strong- not the mental activity, but the desire- it will work out. And that’s why I told you why it is to be, “Thy will be done.”





Accept it from the very beginning. This is the basis of how you are going to rise.




H.H.Shri Mataji

26th June 1978 Caxton Hall

There are only two problems

People who are mediocre think that gradually they’ll be all right and that they’ll come up. But I would suggest that you should make an all-out effort to become strong Sahaja Yogis. To become strong Sahaja Yogis is not difficult because you have all the powers within yourselves. You have the kundalini within yourselves and you know the way- how to become a realized soul.






The problems are of you being dragged into your ego or into conditioning- only two problems, not more. Like somebody asked,"How many turns are there in London?”. Only two: left or right. So either you go to the left or to the right. All the permutations and combinations of this left and right starts working and then you get into trouble. And then you get into problems. But actually it is a very simple thing. To get out of your ego should be the simplest and that is where you try to understand yourself. You see yourself. How you are reacting? Where is your attention? What are you doing? What is your attitude towards Sahaja Yoga?





So many people think that”this is my house, this is my family, this is my car, this my horse, this my dog.” I don’t know how far it goes- “my, my, my, my, my.” But nothing is yours…. As Kabira has said it, that “some cheat” –that is the death – “will come and take away everything that is not yours.” Then “my family,” then “my children”- all this is a nonsense. And so, when you start getting attached to this word “my,” there is where you fail completely into your own understanding of your ego, you’re completely blinded by this ego.





First of all, you should say that “nothing is mine.” Kabira has said that when the goat is living she goes on saying “Maie, maie, maie.” It means “I, I, I, I” in the Hindi language. He made a pun on the word “maie.” And when she dies and her intestines are taken out and are made into something that spins the cotton, they go on the street, these people, telling people they are around. They go on playing on that string which is made from the intestines of these goats which says, “Toohee, toohee, toohee,” meaning “you are, you are, you are.”


So one neeed not be like a goat, that until you leave you go on saying “I, I, maie, maie, maie,” when you die, then your intestines have to be taken out and put on that thing just to make the sound “toohee, toohee toohee.”





So this sound of “I, I, I” is made only by egoistical human beings, but this ego is so much identified with you that you think that “I am this ego and this ego is me.”And in that ego, you start doing all kinds of nonsensical things. This ego takes you nowhere. It takes you nowhere but into a complete mire of ignorance about yourself. Ultimately, you become stupid. Others can tell you that you are stupid or you become idiotic or get a bad name and everybody knows that you are doing all wrong things, but nobody dare tell you because you are to be reached with a barge pole. Such a hot – tempered personality you become that nobody dare come to you and say that is wrong, it should not be done, it’s all stupid, idiotic. And you, yourself, in that idiocy and stupidity think no end of yourself. This is the extreme of your ego.

Why Sahaja Yogis are few ?

"Why Sahaja Yogis are few is because there are very few subtle people in this world of that caliber. That is why I am always requesting you do not divert your attention here and there. Settle down, become good Sahaja Yogis.



Unless and until you do I cannot move to the second strata, because the first strata has not settled down, worrying about nonsensical things, fighting amongst yourselves, sometimes I feel very unhappy. This is so painful, that you say harsh words to each other.




I mean, you are the cream for Me, go and ask any one of the Gurus if they can move Kundalini on their fingers as you do? These powers cannot be given by an ordinary person.




I look ordinary, no doubt, I have to, but also you have seen Me in other forms, that's not important. The important thing is that you should see your own transformation, and how many Powers you are manifesting.




You see, you have got it so easily. Why? Because I recognise that subtleties in you. These Gurus recognise Me. They know about Me. They know who I am. They are telling others. There are many of them like that."H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1982-09

Truth, Attention, and Joy – all become one

I don’t know how many speeches I’ve given now, I lost count. This is only just to make your attention little steady, then the Kundalini rises. Without that happening your attention cannot go inside. Once the happening takes place your attention is pulled in. The whole attention goes inside and it is carried and is brought to this point where it breaks.



This is the seat of your Spirit, while the seed resides in the heart and you are blessed with your Self-Realization. Now, the growth has to come, that you have to move your awareness towards the Spirit and when that happens, that your Spirit dominates your awareness, that your awareness becomes the Spirit, then Sat, Chit, Anand.



Sat is the essence of your awareness, is the truth; through your awareness you know the truth. Chit is the attention and Anand is the Spirit. The essence of the Spirit is joy. All these things become one. That has to happen. Then the growth is much faster. When it is half way round, the growth is less. And the growth is to be felt in your collectivity. Not in how you organize some things and all that, no, in collectivity, how you feel about the whole world, how you are connected about the whole world. What you are doing about it, can you work it out for them? Where is your attention, again?



H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
( 1980-1110 The Eternal Spirit, Caxton Hall, UK).

Completely One with Him

The human mind is used to do things in a ritual way, that they think that if you have to raise this house you have to dig first the foundation then the piling up and then you have those pillars and then you have to have the roof and that is how one after another they plan out things.

But in God's own Kingdom, there is no planning. You sit down and just enjoy. If your attention is there all the work is done, full attention; and then he take out work and give full priority to that do not compromise your way through. You have to help others also to come up and so you must remember for that also your attention should be on your Atma, On your Spirit, on God, completely One with Him in that joy. The whole heart is there and with your both hands and your both feet, with all your attention you can pull out people because your attention is all the time fed, nurtured and looked after, then you will enjoy also the lifting of the people. Nothing can be alright unless and until you develop the subtleties of your attention; and they develop by receding your attention from all that is gross. Recede your attention whenever it goes too much into a thought, like that - 'Oh, forget it'. But into vibrations you pay full attention, seeing vibrations you pay full attention, seeing your own vibrations pay full attention, other things you need not worry they will be all looked after.


That is how your attention is subtler in the kingdom of God. When the lotus is in the mud and it has to come out it finds its way through many crevices and many holes in that mud but when it is out in the open - absolutely liberated free then it does not go on dashing here and there but just opens out and receives the beautiful dew, and the dew melts the fragrance in the lotus.


Automatically the fragrance starts flowing. It's a different method, it's a different way of life that is being Sahaja.



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
BORDI SHIBIR, 27TH JANUARY 1977

Where is your attention?

Where is your attention? You can see in every day-to-day life how we behave. I have seen people very much interested, even now, in food. Now, where is the time? Where is the attention? How can you be so worried about your food? Worried about your sleep. Worried about your health. Worried about this, that. I mean, here you are to worry about your child which you have got not within, and that's why the child is neglected and sometimes you find the child becomes sick or goes into a coma, or may die away also. So the situation is different now for Sahaja Yogis: how to treat themselves. Those who are still running after food and all these nonsensical things, how dedication can come in a person who is so much dedicated to food habits? Like we have seen, you might also have seen some of you, Ajanta caves were built in ten generations, and they built in a place where there was not even water available, to begin with. And day in and day out, thousands of people, without getting any payment, without getting anything, built it. No food – no question! They used to eat some fruits somewhere here, there, but their dedication gave them the power to do it"



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1984-01-19

The Brain becomes aware of the Truth

So you become the truth and the strength of truth comes in you and then you’re not afraid of anything. You say it out loudly. You say, “This is the truth, I know this is the truth.” People may not accept it, they may crucify you, do what they like, but truth is truth and that truth remains forever and ever, it is eternal. But this brain that we do not think much of becomes aware of the truth. This is the blessing of the truth upon us, which comes to us through our Self-Realization, or we say through our Spirit. There can be complete seven lectures on truth if I go on, but I think I have to see to the other side of it, what else it does.


H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
(1984 ,Public Program, England).

First the connection must be established

Another thing that happens to you is with your attention. Now our attention is outside, the reason is our brain has become like a prism, and the rays that come into us of awareness also are thrown out and as a reaction our attention goes outside. If I tell you take your attention inside you cannot take it, just cannot. Something has to happen inside and that's why when this Kundalini rises within you then your attention is attracted inside and this happening takes place. And then you find that you can enter inside as well as outside. But otherwise you cannot. Many people say that we are praying, now you are praying outside there is no connection, first the connection must be established. So when your attention is outside you react to everything. For example, I come and see these flowers, then I react to it and then I say something, or another thing I see all the time I am reacting outside. As a result of all the kind of sensations we get out of our reactions our attention becomes absolutely disturbed and we get into a lot of troubles.



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
(1984 ,Public Program, England).

If there’s a thought you cannot enjoy

First of all our eyes are not steady, they go on hovering from here to there, God knows what we are looking for. The eyes become impure because we start thinking about things, as soon as we see something we start thinking and a barrier is created. For example there is a beautiful piece something very beautiful you see, and looking at it if there’s a thought you cannot enjoy. But if there is no thought, there’s pure rapport, pure connection, between that beautiful art and yourself, then you just see it and enjoy that joy of the artist which he has poured into it, without thinking about it. Otherwise normally people will think, “How many pounds can I save?” or “What should I do? Should I purchase it or not?” All sorts of nonsensical flippant, cheap ideas can come into your head. Or could be something higher also “This color is not matched with that and this.” But a person who is a realized soul will just see, just like children, they just look, in the same way, without thinking. So the first thing that happens to your attention is that the thoughts subside. Thought is the first problem that has started with ego and now when the thoughts subside then you become peaceful



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
(1984 ,Public Program, England).

“We should have peace” – how can you have peace?

People talk of peace, “We should have peace” – how can you have peace? It’s not possible, is an impossible situation. You see we think by thinking, by organizing, by manipulating, we'll have peace. You cannot. You cannot have peace that way. How will you have peace, when the peace is established on your attention? When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides. After all, the peace is disturbed by the human beings only, isn’t it? It is not disturbed by something else, is disturbed by human beings and now if the human beings are not peaceful, how can you have peace by talks? On the contrary when there are talks be sure that there will be some violent action after that. Always it happens because thought is incapable of keeping your attention in balance.



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
(1984 ,Public Program, England).

Second chakra is important..

So, second chakra is important, because, in modern times, it is very, very cosmic, as well as active.We become very active, overactive. And we start thinking about everyone, with whom we are not concerned. And bothering our heads. So, today’s chakra is important, because it bothers your head. It troubles you a lot and you start thinking about them. You start thinking: “What have you said?” “What has happened?” “Who is angry?”All sorts of nonsense. You are all Sahaja Yogis. So you shouldn’t worry as to all these people what they say, what they are doing. You should just enjoy yourself.Second chakra you must enjoy. That’s the best way to enjoy Sahaja Yoga.Then your Swadhishthana is satisfied. Nothing can disturb you. As Swadhishthana is really looked after.

H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:

2-nd night of Navaratri talk, 13-10-2007

when the Kundalini rises.....

“.. Take another example of a piece of cloth. It represents the attention. Before realization it is all spread out and in all directions. Now take a finger and poke the cloth in the center from the bottom and raise it upwards. What happens?

The cloth is pulled up to a point and in the process it just wraps or falls around the finger. In the same way, when the Kundalini rises, it pokes the attention, raises it to the Sahasrara, where it gets enlightened by the light of the Brahmha Chaitanya.

It then just wraps and falls in line with the Kundalini ’s path on the Shushumna Nadi in the center. What has actually happened is that on realization, our Chitta is pulled inside from wherever it is spread out in the outer mundane world.

The Chitta is thereby enlightened. This is the so-called state. But in reality we human are slaves of our habits. We out of sheer habit do not allow our Chitta to stay put in that state permanently. Actually the Chitta should not go out. .”

H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
(February 1987)

Advice Given By H.H. Shri Mataji Gudi Padwa, 24 March 1993

This is the first day of the year of Sat Yuga. Nature will show you that Sat Yuga has started. Sahaja Yoga has brought Sat Yuga. You should have faith in yourself... you have to believe in yourself... you are realised souls. You should have faith in the working of Sahaja Yoga. What works is your enlightened faith. Complete trust should be there. Look at me, single handed I have spread Sahaja Yoga. Just have faith in Param Chaitanya. If you have any doubts... just ask me. God is not there (in the physical form) but at least I am there to talk to you. Hence Sahaja Yogis should now be free from doubts.


1. Leaders should be very careful. They should become free of all arrogance. They are only a communication link, like I have to put a letter in the envelope and post it. They should be careful of possessions.

2. Whenever we are planning something we should keep our attention on the most important thing. You should keep your priorities clear.

3. If there is negativity, you should tell me... I will work it out.

4. Often organisers get worried about money. In Sahaja Yoga you will always get money but if you worry about money then you will not get it. Money is not so important.

5. We should have wisdom about each other.

6. You should not have any fear. It is all a drama going on... there is nothing to worry. If you say that I am afraid then what am I to say? Even if you make a mistake, it does not matter. I can tell you it is mistake... you should not mind. If there is something to correct... I will correct it. If you are afraid... then your ego will come up... then I will simply pierce it. At least you should not be afraid of me. We learn from our mistakes. We should not be afraid to make mistakes.
(Australian Sahaja Newsletter - 10 February 1996)


Supposing there is no oil in this lamp... it will all go off. It has to have oil. It will go off. So the dedication part is the oil in you... is the attachment... complete attachment to your source. That's the dedication. But that dedication should not give you any other ideas but of a light which shines, which corrects others, guides the path of other people. If that is not so, then the source that you are tapping is not coming to you fully, and that your light is not burning properly. So into Dedication when you go, you must not think that it is any surrendering that you become like a cabbage. But you become dynamic. You become real power... not of destruction, but of construction. I mean, for destruction you do not need much power. And that power, sustained power, flowing power... has to be there. For that... Dedication is needed.

Surrendering to attain Thoughtlessness

Many people say, "we have surrendered everything", but it does not happen because they do it only in talking. Surrendering is not talking. You have to surrender to attain thoughtlessness. That is you have stopped thinking. When you stop thinking you come to the center. When at the center, immediately you go into thoughtless awareness, i.e. become one with God's power, and when you are one with the God's power, He looks after you. He takes care of your small things also. You will be amazed. It is worth trying and after that you will realize that what you were doing earlier was wrong. So once you are in thoughtlessness you will get all inspirations, all powers and everything.


H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
(Nirmala Yoga, 1982)

Significance of Thoughtlessness

All that happens in the thoughtless state is enlightened. Light never talks. If you switch on the light in the room, the light won't speak or give you any ideas. It would just make everything visible. The same is true about the light of thoughtlessness. First become thoughtless and then doubtless. Then all your doubts go and you know that there is some power that works. It works very fast and is all-subtle. You will be amazed how it happens. This is also about time. I never look at a watch. But my real watch is in the thoughtlessness. If you are thoughtless God takes you everywhere as if on his hands. He makes all arrangements. He knows everything and there is no need to tell him about anything. But you must see whether you are in the main stream or not. If you are not in it then you are stuck up somewhere on the bank; then the current comes and takes you in twice or thrice, but again you are on the bank. Then you say 'Mataji, nothing goes smoothly for me'. It won't because you are entangled. (Nirmala Yoga, 1982)

Using the Kundalini to expand your attention

Now, actually what has happened in realization - your Kundalini has risen and has come up. Just like you can say a small, thin hair - one hair, say. And that has broken your Sahasrara. And now the grace is flowing into it. But it is a very small' movement that has taken place - of course which is a very difficult movement no doubt; but it has taken place. Now you have not expanded like this. Your Chakras are only pierced in the center, but the rest of the Attention is still intact. Actually it is so intact, that you do not even feel that it is pierced. Now you have to expand' that. Open it out so that more strands of Kundalini can rise and your Attention, which is in these centres, expands. By expansion it drives out all that is mythical on the sides. On every centre we have our Attention, which is being enlightened in the centre through this light passing through. But the light is too small for the darkness that you have collected. (26.05.1980, UK)

Paying Attention through our Energy Centres

After realization you can pay attention through your centres, and you do. This is a very big difference between a person who is realized and who is not realized, or you can say that you can become effective through your centres by paying attention to them. You can feel the centres, which are obstructed in your body, which you never felt before. Not only that, you can feel the centres of other people, that means your central nervous system is being blessed by a new awareness by which it can convey to you, communicate to you the Attention paid by your centres, and also it can take your Attention in a subtler way into the centres of others. So first thing that happens to you is that your Attention becomes subtler. Attention becoming subtler means you start understanding deeper things. For example a bird can see a flower but cannot feel the beauty of a flower and an unrealized person can see the beauty of a flower but cannot see the vibrations of a flower. So you become subtler. Your Attention becomes subtler. You definitely are at a higher evolutionary stage than the other people are. Now, we have to see how we use our Attention. You have seen even when you were not realized that supposing you start developing an art in your hand from your very childhood, then you develop the depth of that particular Art, because a kind of a Milinge grows on the nerves. In the same way when you are Realized, I would say 'when you are a newly born person', if you start respecting your Attention, then gradually you develop a depthness for Sahaja Yoga. But so many people when they get realized they hardly come second time, even if they come again they do not develop the feeling of vibrations more. They still go on being busy with their day-to-day work wasting their Attention on things which do not give you the subtler feelings. So the subtleness, the depth of the Art of Sahaja does not develop. (27.01.1977, Bordi Shibir)
