I come to raise the kundalini of people

So the first thing I tried was to study about the kundalini, that I should be able to raise the kundalini. And I knew I had come for that, not for anything else, but only to raise the kundalini of people, so that they take to the central path, not to the right or to the left.






But I told you the knowledge of the left side, plus raising your kundalini. By raising your kundalini you broke your Sahasrara, and you entered into the realm of real joy, of reality. All these bad qualities started falling out.



In the central path first the Mooladhara came. By the awakening of the Mooladhara and the central path, you became very pure people. Your eyes became pure, your licentiousness went away, your cheapness went away and you became very, very – I think we should call them the holy people. Unless and until that happens you cannot be in Sahaja Yoga. You cannot be a licentious, you cannot be a flirtish, you cannot be a man who wants to, grab money from others and all that, or anyone who is very aggressive could be in Sahaja Yoga.








So all such people were thrown out. Once they were thrown out, they were showing their, teeth I should say. They didn't like it that they were thrown out. But they understand, now some of them, that we have made mistakes. So first thing is that you must develop your sense of Chastity. Respect it and enjoy it. That happened because of your Mooladhara being awakened. That's the first Chakra on the left side where you have Shri Ganesha.








But on the right side also, we have Deities. On every Chakra we have Deities to compensate. For Shri Ganesha is in the Center and that's how we were blessed, by His powerful purity. And we started understanding the beauty of purity, the power of purity. That's how our right side, we finished off. Right side was for fighting, for killing, anger. There was no peace for these people, the only thing they knew how to dominate others, and to be intolerable.




So then they rose, to a higher, higher level of, Swadisthan. In Swadisthana, they rose and the aggressiveness of the creative people, to create something. Even now we have many. They create all kinds of nonsense, create all type of grotesqueness, also very very, I should say, dirty things, to make a name.





So this is the another thing we got it in Swadisthana, people who wanted to have a name, a position, that came from right Swadisthana.




Then the third Chakra that was there was the Nabhi Chakra. On the Nabhi Chakra, they went all out to make money, not Lakshmi, but money, money by any means. And they cheated the whole world. With this money that they got, they did all kinds of bad things. Either they cheated or they were aggressive. Cheating was very much in the left side countries like India, and aggressiveness in the right side countries. In the center, what quality we have, at the Swadisthana is the creativeness. Creative of art, which is very beautiful, which is very deep, which is absolutely spiritual, that vanished and people started showing even the Incarnations full of dirty habits. All kinds of filth came in with that progress.





Then as I told there's Nabhi. In Nabhi, people got after money. Left sided people were making money. Right sided were aggressive with their money. If they were earning, they thought they were on top of the world. If they had money, they thought nobody's better then us. All this finished them off. It's finishing. It will come to that point where they will realize, that money is not for destroying, but for construction, constructing of the country, constructing of the human beings together to bring peace and love among them, for helping, for doing all kinds of good things. Then the same right sided people were to the Chakra of the Mother. ‘Han’ (Yes) and they were horrible mothers, tried to dominate their children, dominate everyone and could not sacrifice anything for their children. We have had enough of these women, who are aggressive with their husbands, are aggressive with their children. And even the motherhood among men is dead and finished.








All that kind of lot, when I came on this Earth I saw and I was shocked. What sort of human beings are those? What am I going to do with them? How will I awaken their Kundalini? At the Nabhi Chakra only they were lost. But now it is the Mother's Chakra. They had no fatherhood, no motherhood, they drove out their children, very selfish, self centered, dominating parents.


This was the Heart Chakra.



Then came the collective Chakra, what we call as the Vishuddhi. At the Vishuddhi Chakra, they wanted to occupy the whole world. They wanted to occupy the whole world as their own, to become emperors and they formed empires and misbehaved to such an extent that it's not humanly possible to behave like that. They really were rakshasas, I should say, and those rakshasas qualities are still there. In their behavior, in everything you can see how they behave towards people, treating them like that, creating people who are against spirituality and those who are aggressive. Well these became like a, two sided world, where there are people who are aggressive and the people who are tortured. This two sided world, existed even now, but is much less. Thanks to the collective understanding, there are many good institutions that were established, but they are not working out. They are not so successful. Because the men at the head of it are controlling, but controlling what? Not themselves. Controlling others. And all their behavior has spoilt all the work of this Chakra.




Collectively, you have, if you see around now today, everywhere there’s war going on, fights going on, killing going on, destruction going on. How is it? There are so many spiritual people now in this world. So the reason is the spiritual people have become very quiet. Very much enjoying their spiritual life. Have become very quiet and very peaceful people. But that doesn't bring peace. You have to be dynamic. And you have to bring peace in the world. You have to do something about it. We are very much satisfied with our progress, but we are not bothered as to see what it the progress others have done, how far they have gone, where can we meet them, what can we change them. At my level, I can change many things, but at your level how many people have you changed? What have you done? That has to be seen. Still you live with your ego, on the Agnya and you are very happy with your peace, with everything you have got through Sahaja Yoga.





This is the biggest calamity that the world is facing today. That those who are also spiritual, those who have achieved great heights, are least bothered! As to what good has to be done, what they are doing is to enjoy their own – spirituality. You come to the Puja, have more and more of it, but they have done no collective work to change people. Some of them are working one or two, bas ( stop), the rest of them are having a good time, enjoying themselves in such a manner that people accept them at great souls, good people, that's all.




I would like you to now introspect and find out how much collective work you have done, how many people you have got like that. With whom are you, talking? How many people have you told about Sahaja Yoga? Only so many are there. Christ had only 12 disciples, they are much more dynamic then you are.






So now you should take to the right side. And when you take to the right side, we'll create dynamic people, not just some useless, patient, very quiet, peaceful people. This was not the aim of Sahaja Yoga. The aim of Sahaja Yoga is to change, change so many. And those who are doing that, all my blessings are with them. But those who are just keeping to themselves, it is not a very good thing. In your country how many people have got to Sahaja Yoga? Just find out with how many people you have worked it out?





So yours is not a complete Yoga. Yours is a partial Yoga of the left side, where you are very loving, very kind, very this thing. I'm not saying that you should become aggressive in any way. But even, I have seen people want to be leaders. They want to be something great but how many people have they given realisation? How many people have they talked about Sahaja Yoga? I have seen, in the aero plane also you go, you walk in the street, anywhere people talk about Sahaja Yoga. But here we are using Sahaja Yoga for our greatness, for our understanding of ourselves. This is not why Sahaja Yoga has been brought to you. It has been brought to you for giving realizations to many people.




I request all the younger people, younger generation, not to waste their Sahaja energies on nonsense as the old people have done. You better go ahead and talk to people about Sahaja Yoga and spread the Sahaja Yoga. They are more interested in running schools, in looking after the destitute, doing this, doing that that's not your job. Your job is to create more Sahaja Yogis, more Sahaja Yoginis. But that is not there, what I find is it's not there. The right side is missing. You should come to the right side. Go all ahead. Nothing will happen to you.






Nobody can kill you, nobody can disturb you, nobody can arrest you, take it from me. You have powers, but if you don't use them, you are like this. That is why we have come to the stagnated point. That we should know we have to use our right side. Right side is very important.




Next time I'll tell you about right side, what right sided things you have, now you cannot become left sided whatever you may try. So you use your right side in the right direction, with the right understanding. Not as some sort of, I should say, very arbitrary or very dominating, like Hitlers. We have had also Hitlers among Sahaja Yogis. But now, the time has come for you, to do something more than what the saints have done before, to work it out that way, not to keep to yourself, that you have a family, you have very nice children, having, enjoying, all that. That's not the Sahaja Yoga for.



Sahaja Yoga is for transforming the whole world. You have to think about it. What are you doing, where are you? And what have you achieved out of Sahaja Yoga?




Then we come to the Agnya. In Agnya, what has happened is Sahaja Yogis have become such that, they bear anything. They can suffer anything. That's not we want. What we want is to remove the sufferings of others, remove the aggression of others. So we don't have that kind of organization, we don't have. That kind of understanding, we don’t have. And if that works out, you will be different people.



So we have become like, saints you see, sitting in their herm-hermit halls something like that. Not more than that.



So better try to do something positive, without aggression. I know some of you are still very aggressive, are show offs I know that. But if you get into the mood of working out collectively, then you will realize what mistakes you have. Still what is lacking in your personality? That is very important. At Agnya Chakra many Sahaja Yogis falter. I don't know what happens to them. At Agnya, I have told that you must forgive. But that doesn't mean that you allow people to do wrong things. Because you want to forgive, it's very easy not to fight, not to say anything, just keep out just forgive, no! You go and talk to that person and tell him it is wrong. You have to face it. If you cannot face it, then you are useless. Just like any other people. What's the use of you people getting your realization?




So now, we have to understand that's it's not only that we have vibrations, that we are alright, that you can cure some people, is the last word -no. You have to spread it. You have to go in the public. You have to be collective on this point and you have to spread Sahaja Yoga. With so many Sahaja Yogis all over the world we have not progressed much. So now, it is you have to plan what you want to do, how you want to do it, and how you want to spread Sahaja Yoga. It's very important. Because you people are good at, say, talking about Sahaja Yoga, singing about Sahaja Yoga, all these things are useless, unless and until you have concrete proof of getting many more people in Sahaja Yoga.



In a small country like Turkey, we have 25,000 Sahaja Yogis what do you say? They are all Muslims. Twenty five thousands Muslims becoming Sahaja Yogis. Why you find that number is very small in any other country? They are not very rich, but they care for their Self realization and for giving Self Realizations to others. It's very surprising how it has worked out, how it has spread.





So instead of thinking of your problems, of your enemies, of your powers, think of giving power to others and making them Sahaja Yoga. It's very important.


If you are in Sahasrara, then you have all the powers. In Sahasrara, if you do not spread Sahaja Yoga, what's the use of getting realization? Just for yourself? It's being very selfish. So I would say that, instead of spreading your own glory, your own fame, your own name, please try to get more people to Sahaja Yoga. Go into a very dynamic force.

Overcoming the Six Enemies of the Soul

Six enemies of the soul, seen as blockages of the chakras

Lust, anger, greed, attachment, jealousy, vanity.

When these are cleared, we become innocent, imaginative, satisfied, secure, collective, confident and real. A realized individual enjoys pure inner freedom, without psychological bondage. Introspection is necessary. Each chakra is under attack. The awakening of the chakras' power by the Kundalini eliminates these defects.

The First Center: Moladhara Chakra

Lust is a malfunction of the first center.The restoring of the integrity of the moladhara chakra is possible through sahaja yoga meditation practices. Implies a return of innocence.

The Second Center: Swadhistan Chakra

Anger represents a malfunction of the second center.People with well operating swadhistan are imaginative, talented and competent.

The Third Center: Manipur Chakra.

Greed relates to a contraction in the third center.The energy of the being is diverted from inner growth into acquiring external possessions. To have and not to be is the realm of one's identity. If society does not control greed, greed will undermine its foundations because it destroys the collective values, which are indispensable for its long term survival. The manifestation of the qualities of the nabhi chakra include an innate feeling of well being and satisfaction, a condition that makes greed superfluous and irrelevant. The third center grants balance to the personality. The resulting equilibrium between the movements of the lateral channels provides the basis for the capacity to adapt and evolve.

The Fourth Center: Anahata Chakra

Attachment strangles the opening of the fourth center.It curtails the power of the heart to love in a generous and giving way. Attachment is a lower and selfish form of love - it takes instead of giving. It is a cause and consequence for a lack of inner security.


The Fifth Center: Vishuddhi Chakra

Jealously blocks the passage through the fifth center.Jealously prevents the establishment of common purpose and teamwork. It is destructive to the smooth functioning of any human collectivity. A person with an operative vishuddhi chakra is sensitive to the needs of the whole, the interest of the collectivity or the organization of which he is a part.

The Sixth Center: Agnya Chakra

Vanity obstructs the opening of the sixth center.It places appearance above substance. When the agnya clears the brain, the subject is no longer blinded or misled by the projections of his ego or the residue of his conditionings. He is capable of settling into a deeper self-identity, a source of personal strength, confidence and resilience.

These are the enemies of our self-mastery.

When you are too right sided then the Ganesh tattwa of the left side gets less

" Shri Ganesha's specialty is His humility and His wisdom. Both of these come from Ganesha tattwa. Another specialty is that He is a very calm and cool person. His gait is also calm, just like an elephant, who also has a very slow gait. Also a woman who walks beautifully is called Gajagamini or Elephant gait. Elephants only eat grass but are still so strong, that they can carry heavy loads. Elephants are mild tempered. They will never hurry for anything. They also have a terrific memory. When your left side gets weakened your power of memory fades. This is because Ganesha Tattwa has decreased within you. When you are too right sided then the Ganesh tattwa of the left side gets less. People who work too much their memory diminish in old age.

A special thing about Shri Ganesha is that along with His power of memory is very sharp he remembers everything. He has to remember everything because the imprint of all the karmas (action) on the Kundalini is done by Shri Ganesha. In His right hand is a pen which is His own tooth and He writes everything about you, what you did, what are your problems, where you went in your seeking, what wrong you did. When the Kundalini rises any obstruction on your Chakras is seen and felt and you know what's wrong with that Chakra. In this way it is absolutely scientific. There is not only this guna of the Ganesha Tattwa that a person should be innocent and pure. He has many gunas. Like you must have wisdom and intelligence. You must know what is right and wrong."


H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

(Christmas Puja, Ganapatipule, 24.12.91).

Puja is one of the things by which you can excite the forms into formless

" The first and foremost thing is the assumption, the faith, that we are the Spirit and that the rest is superimposition. You have to assume that within yourself. After realization, it should become very easy. That you are something much more, something very different from what you have known so far.

So now the new situation arises: that you do not have a blind faith that has come out of an experience. So your intellect should not fight it. It should not try to challenge it. If it starts challenging it and if you hear to your intellect, you will again go down. Even if you get the glimpses of a star in the sky, then the scientist believe that there is a star. So in the same manner, even if you get glimpses of your realization, you have to at least believe that you are also the Spirit. You go on sticking to that experience and keeping your attention on the fact that you are the Spirit. Tell your intellect not to cheat you any more. You can turn the face of your intellect by this.

Now your intellect will start working for the pursuit of the Spirit. This is what faith means. Faith gives rise to pure intelligence. Now once you have seen clouds removed, still there are clouds. So you have to use the wind to remove the clouds, wind of the Holy Ghost. And- that you know -there are many ways of taking advantage of the wind. So the wind comes from some other source. That is the source of the Holy Ghost, your own Kundalini. And also you have in person the primordial Kundalini before you. Compared to many other seekers who came before you, you are very fortunate.

Because worshipping any Vigraha, any statue of self- created vibrations of Mother Earth people had big problems. They had to first of all do a meditation, which was called as Sarvikalpa Samadhi. That means in that state you had to concentrate on such a statue, Vigraha. Vigraha means the one, which is a vibrating statue, and try to raise your Kundalini. And Kundalini used to come up to your Agnya, but the jumping beyond the Sahasrara was an impossible task because one has to go from form to formless. And it was so difficult to get out of form to formless, and even to concentrate on abstract or formless was another impossible task. As the Muslims did or many others tried to do. Under these circumstances it was necessary that the formless had to take a form so that there were no more complications. As soon as you concentrated on the form you became formless. Like you have ice before you, as soon as you start touching the ice, it melts away and you start feeling the cool.

So the problem is very easily solved now. Puja is one of the things by which you can excite the forms into formless. Now your centres are the centers of energies, but they too have a guiding deity sitting on all these Chakras. They are also the formless made into forms. And when you do the Puja, the form melts into formless energies. And these formless energies start flowing, and then blows the wind. And that is how these misidentifications; these superimpositions on the Spirits are removed".."

(Importance of Puja and Havana, Paris, June 18, 1983)

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)

How Param Chaitanya worked within each of us!

" … It is like you have to accept a hypothesis that there exists an all pervading power above the human brain. This is the only Hypothesis. The human brain is in the form of a Pyramid. The Param Chaitanya or the all-pervading power is coming from all sides and striking the brain of a fetus (soon after its formation).

What actually happens is that, at the apex of this pyramidal brain, the Param Chaitanya passes unhindered and settles down the spine in the inverted Triangular bone area, at the base, in three and a half coils as the Kundalini Shakti. In the process it leaves its mark called the "Vacuum Channel" in the spine. Now the Param Chaitanya hitting the side s of the triangular brain has to permeate the Grey and the white matter. These have their own densities, and so governed by the physics Laws of Refraction, the Chaitanya refracts from left to right and from right to left. This is also called the Prismatic refraction effect. This phenomenon exists mostly for human brains and not so much in animals.

During the refraction process, the Human attention is pulled out to both the sides and is driven in the outward direction. Both the attention and the refracted Chaitanya cross at the Agnya Chakra from both the sides on their way out. As a result of this pull, an additional force called the resultant force is created. Now the theory of the Parallelogram of forces (of Physics) comes into play.

The resultant force is divided into two parts, each being at 90-degree angle to the other on both the left as well as the right side. The resultant force acts in the center of its two counterparts. One part creates the left and the right sympathetic Channel of the fetus by pushing its way down the body. The other part pushes its way out through the senses, dragging with it the Human attention both to the left and to the right. The second part is also known at the action in the outer world. From the outer world, this action brings back a reaction. (Another famous law of Physics) the path followed by the action and reaction is the same. On the left side this reaction builds one's Conditionings while on the right side it builds the Ego.

In short, our Chitta accompanied by the resultant Brahma -Chaitanya's living force went to the outer world, collected a reaction and brought back with it a conditioning from the left, thereby forming the Manasa or the mind. Both the action and reaction pass through both the Agnya and the Vishuddhi Chakras. The Chitta , being dispersed in nature, has the ability to flow from the whole body. The reaction of the left is the desire element, the potential of which gives birth to the Ida Nadi on the left Sympathetic Channel.


Similarly, the reaction of the right side is the action element, the potential of which forms the Pingla Nadi. The overflow of the Ida Nadi forms a balloon -like cloud at the back of the Agnya Chakra called the Super ego, while the overflow of the Pingla Nadi forms a similar cloud in front of the Agnya Chakra called the Ego. The Agnya remains directly in between these two balloons. The front of the Agnya is controlled by the Pituitary of the brain, while the back is controlled by the Pineal".



H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
(Shri Mata Ji's Talk with Dr. Talwar , Bombay, 26th and 27th February 1987)

BASIC SAHAJA YOGA TERMS

Kundalini

The mothering energy that is lying dormant at the base of the spine in the sacrum bone. This energy is awakened by Self-Realization to begin its work of cleansing and balancing our energy centers.


Attention

The attention is a very important faculty within us. It is often damaged by over-emphasis on the intellectual side of our nature. So the attention itself must be cleansed, steadied and healed. This is a natural process performed by Kundalini.


Chakras

These are subtle energy centers that are located at the sites of the main nervous plexuses. A chakra is a wheel (this is the literal Sanskrit meaning) of energy. There are seven main chakras in our subtle system, which relate to the stages of evolution. Once awakened (i.e., after realization) they begin to emit vibrations, expressing the unique qualities of the divine within us. It is in this sense that we are created in the image of God. Physical, mental and emotional problems can also be traced to an imbalance in one or several chakras.


Catches

A catch occurs when the efficient functioning of the chakra is impaired. This blocks the passage of the Kundalini through that chakra to a higher level. Chakras can become distorted and bruised, and this is the root cause of problems in our lives. Once the Kundalini starts to naturally repair bruised chakras, the problems will disappear. It is very important, however, not to focus attention on catches. Keep your attention on the Kundalini and on the positive aspects of your ascent.


Spirit

This is the reflection of the divine which is present within us. The object of Sahaja Yoga is to fully become Spritual Self, which is the true Self. By virtue of Kundalini awekening, the Spirit can be perceived and felt in our attention, and we can then live and act in harmony with the divine.


Vibrations

Once Kundalini is awakened, vibrations can be felt on the palms of the hand, in the body and on top of the head. Everything in creation emits vibrations, but the ability to feel them comes only with Kundalini awakening. Anyone or anything emitting cool (not cold) vibrations is balanced and “holy”. Hot, tingling vibrations are emitting when there is an imbalance or lack of harmony with the Spirit.
