Ego-less nature will help everyone





So our ego has to be seen, is to be watched in witness state, how it works and how it tries to dissuade us from the right path of movement.



One has to be only careful on that point because that’s the last centre which has to be opened out.



Once it is completely open, you are one with the Divine and your all problems will be solved. Because these problems are so frivolous and has no meaning; they’ll go away in no time as long as you work it out, your Sahasrara.



It’s very nice that today is very special day with all these three stars are coming together, and its special blessing.



If your powers increase, all these people who are very bad, who are trying to capture the society with their political nonsense and all that, they all will disappear. They have no powers, they all disappear.




So, first of all your ego-less nature will help-will help everyone.


May God bless you all.

Shri Krishna gives you a witness state

Today we are going to have Shri Krishna Puja. It is a very important thing about the power of Shri Krishna that gives you a witness state. This is very important also because in these days of Kali Yuga and complete confusion of value system, all kinds of turmoil makes very complex conditions to exist.






The state of witnessing is only possible through meditation to reach the stage of thoughtless awareness. It is combined together.






Now, the witness state is such a state where you just do not react. If you react then the problem starts. It’s very simple thing to understand that we react through our ego or through our conditioning, otherwise there is no way to react.






Anything, now for example, there is a beautiful carpet here. As soon as I look at it, if I use my ego, I will start thinking now, from where did they get it? How much they paid for it? This is the first reaction.






Then you can go even further with it. Anger can come in. Why did they bring such a nice carpet? What was the need to put it here? Goes on like that, one after another.






Now, in my conditionings if I see these things I would say that this colour is not suited for Krishna Puja. They should have had another colour for this Krishna Puja. So, this goes on from one to another, but that means this conditioning is built up within us. All our problems of our conditioning are really horrible.

Become like lotuses

If the sprit has to evolve, we have to be extremely witnessing in a full way, very alert, extremely alert and witnessing ourselves, what are we doing. Then only will we reach the completion of our Realization. Unless and until you reach the completion of your Realization, you can never be masters of your attention and you can never be the enjoyer of your joy and you can never know the truth fully.




To achieve this Sat-Chit-Ananda swarupa, you have to be extremely careful about the instrument that God has given you- this body, mind and emotions. You have to keep them in check because, wherever your habits are, they can never be joy-giving. It’s a joyless pursuit. And wherever your ego is, it’s a destructive effort.




So what things are detrimental to your growth? Apart from that, they are extremely dangerous thing for yogis.



So as you are, in whatever conditions you are, in whatever situations you are, whatever may be the surroundings, like a dirty mire full of creatures and filth, you can become like lotuses. When you become like lotuses, all that is filth, all that is horrible can become fragrant. And this is what we have to achieve.




When people will see the lotuses, they’ll come to you, not to see the worms and to see the filth, but to see the lotuses. So please, this time, correct yourself. You don’t need anybody to correct you. You just correct yourself, watch out for yourself and see for yourself. If something doesn’t work out, just give up. Don’t go to extremes for anything. You must learn to give up at a point and be happy about it.



If you are contained within yourself, if your hand is attached to your body, then you reach up to a point and then leave it. But if it is not attached, if it is disintegrated, then it goes all round and round and comes back without anything. That understanding has to be there in you people because you’re standing in the central path and you’re attached to the central path not only, but you are identified with it. So you cannot go too far to the left, cannot go too far to the right. If you do that, you get lost. Then you are no more a Sahaja Yogi and then no use having here artificially or superficially because it will be hypocrisy.

when we meditate we go into Thoughtless Awareness


First to get Self-Realisation and then to be aware of your position. Then you’ll be surprised how you develop proper attention and proper understanding.



Absolutely, it is an easy thing to do as soon as you find that you have achieved that witness- state. So please try to make yourself a witness. When you see something, go into thoughtless awareness. That is your fort. Don’t think. See the beauty that is there, just pouring in, just watch how these tree are standing still just watching you all. See, absolutely still, nothing is moving. They don’t even allow one leaf to move……let it be. Till the breeze, till then we just keep quiet and watch. Like these mountains how they are steadily watching everything and emitting joy and beauty. In the same way, we have to become witness. We need not talk too much, we need not keep quiet but in the center we should witness the whole thing as ‘Leela’. That’s why He is called ‘Leeladhara’, means the one who sustains the Leela of persons.



It doesn’t make you mad, it doesn’t make you funny, but it makes you joyous. Anything that makes you joyous is the Vishnu principle of Shri Krishna. I hope all of us are going to enjoy our Vishnu principle hereafter as we have enjoyed before by meditating. Because when we meditate we go into Thoughtless Awareness. When we are in Thoughtless Awareness, then only we grow, otherwise we cannot grow. Whatever we may try we cannot grow. Unless and until we meditate we cannot become Thoughtlessly Aware.



All those who also want to gain in any walk of life, in any dimension, those who want to become, say, great artists, great scientists, great anything have to meditate. In Sahaja Yoga it is important you must meditate, otherwise the kundalini will come down and you will lose all your talents. That is a fact which has to be told and you saw how people have got transformed.

Vibrations can be misleading

The knowledge as I told you, pure knowledge is that which gives you a pure light. Pure light means pure vibrations.




Now vibrations can be misleading as I told you, or could be the quantity of vibrations can be less or more. There is another way.





It is to see for yourself why do you want to do a particular thing? Mentally also you can use parameter of mental understanding.


Why do I want to do it?
What is the gain for all the people?



If you start thinking from that angle, what is the gain for others, what will they gain by this, why should I do it, you will be amazed, you will get the real picture of what you are doing.



So you must keep yourself all the time in a state where you witness yourself, you see yourself that why I am doing this. What is the purpose? Sometimes could be some conditioning, could be some sort of psychological thing, could be anything. But if you start watching carefully, why I am doing it, you will be amazed that your vibration itself will start telling you on your finger tips.





But sometimes, the vibrations are so superficially coming, Ah, I got the vibrations, I am this, I am that! What is the reason, why I am saying again and again though you are such a nice family of mine and you are also much blessed and we have so much of knowledge with us? We should be very wise. If there is no wisdom, we can never understand what we are doing.

If Shri Krishna is Yogeshwara and if He had no wife, then you go down

Shri Krishna was Yogeshwara. He was Yogeshwara. He was so detached that once His wives, who were His powers, said that “We want to go across and worship a particular saint.” He said, “Alright, why didn’t you go?” They said, “No, the river is in spate and we don’t know how to cross the river.” He said, “Alright, you go and tell the river we want to go and see such and such a saint and Shri Krishna has said you calm down. If Shri Krishna is Yogeshwara and if He had no wife, then you go down.”


So they went to the river and said that, “If Shri Krishna has had no wives and He is a Yogeshwara, then please go down.” And the river went down. So they were very surprised, that “He is supposed to be our husband and still He is Yogeshwara. He is so detached.” They crossed over and they went and worshipped the saint. So the saint said, “Now you can go back.”


When they were coming back, they found again the river was in spate. So they went back to the saint and said, “Now how do we go back?” He said, “How did you come?” They said, “Shri Krishna said that, ‘you go and ask the river if I was a Yogeshwara, then go down.” “Alright, so you go and tell the river that the saint did not eat anything whatsoever and he was absolutely detached about it, so the river will go down.” So they were surprised because they has fed him, he had eaten everything, he had done everything.


So they went to the river and said, “Oh river, the saint never ate anything, he was absolutely detached about food, he didn’t touch the food.” And the river went down. So they were surprised, “How is it the saint ate everything and didn’t eat anything?” It means he was in ‘Aswadha”, he was not involved into the food, he was detached and they were surprised. It looks like a lie from a human point of view, it is not. That is the fact. He is a Yogeshwara and he is so detached.

Karma, Gyana and Bhakti

He is the man who was not, we should say, such a big businessman. Because first He told you how to become Sthita Pragya: Sthita Pragya is the one who is in a witness state. If you see all these verses on Sthita Pragya, is nothing but a person who is in a witness state, how he lives, how he is happy, how he looks at things. It’s interesting, very intersting. First He describes that, not like sharp people who will first describe first the bad things. But He starts with the best, then He goes down to other things and tells you whatever are the three aspects.



The first He talks about Karma and many people get stuck at that point, that: “whatever karmas we are doing, we’ll get the punyas out of it.” But He didn’t say that. If you know Him, then you will know He never meant that. What He says is that: “Whatever karmas you have to do, you can do it, but leave the results to the Divine Power.” Results are from the Divine Power. Now maybe that some people think that they have got money because they have done good karmas and start doing all kinds of bad karmas with that money. He didn’t say that. He said: “Leave the results to the Divine Power.” Because Divine Power knows best what is good for you. And so, if you think you have done something good, you have served somewhere to the poor, you have done something really good for the women or anything, the result of that, you leave it at the feet of the Divine Power. It means that you don’t build up an ego for whatever you have done. Very well, He has written The best, but to understand Him, one should have again the witness state, to see what He has written about karma.




Then He has written about “ Gyana.” Gyana means ‘what you know.’ But that doesn’t mean you go on reading books, never. Gyana means to know what you are. That means you have to be a Sahaja Yogi by which you know so many things through vibrations. Gyana doesn’t mean reading books. By reading books you become more ignorant. So Gyana means that you must know yourself. If you do not know yourself, you do not know anything. So it comes to that, you must get your self-realisation. You must know yourself. It’s the second thing He has said.



Lastly He talks about Bhakti. Bhakti is devotion that too is another trick of Shri Krishna, the way He described Bhakti. Now you find people on the street: “Hare Rama, Hare Krishna” singing. In one word, He’s concluded, He says: “you must do Ananya Bhakti.” Ananya means when there is not the other. That means when you have submerged yourself into the Divine. When you are one with the Divine, then you should do Bhakti, otherwise I do not accept. He says that: “If you give Me some leaves or some fruits or some flowers, I will accept.” But for Him, the real Bhakti is only possible when you become one with the Divine, otherwise it’s just a show.



So the third Bhakti part also comes after self-realisation. Now in the Bhakti you see there is no—what is the value is and how much you’ve paid for it and how you bought it, it’s not important.

Don’t get upset, excited, nothing just laugh at it

So one should not worry as to what people react, what they say about you, what they think about you. You should just introspect and see for yourself. After some time, you don’t need even introspection.





It is a kind of state I am talking about, where Shri Krishna told Arjuna that: “I will not fight, so in between Me and My army, you have to select.” So Kaurava said: “We’ll take your army, you give us your army and we’ll strengthen our army.” But Arjuna said, “ I don’t want army, I want you, you don’t want to fight, it’s all right.” Because though He will be there in a witness state only, He won’t be fighting, but His power will act. He doesn’t have to fight, He doesn’t have to do anything, but His own power, which is outwardly silent, but will act and that is how we will win the war.





So this power of witnessing, you all should develop. Try to develop it, that when you are reacting, stop reaction, about everything.






You’ll be amazed, you will find yourself a very very powerful person, in the sense you’ll have no ambitions, you’ll have no desires, you’ll have no special fondness or anything. But just you’ll be witnessing the drama. It’s very interesting to witness also, because then you understand the humor behind everything, you understand the stupidity behind everything. You understand also how people have been so violent and you just laugh at it.





Don’t get upset, excited, nothing just laugh at it. After some time, you’ll be amazed, your witness state will increase and when in the collective all of you have that witness state, you can do wonders without doing anything, without saying anything, without acting. Only your presence itself can work it out. I don’t say that it will have effect on every one, no I can’t say, but most of the people. Any person who is in that state, he is the one who brings peace, he brings joy.

Witness state is not a mental state, it is a state of a spiritual ascent

There is no fear at all, once you learn how to have the state of witnessing. Because when you are not witnessing you get disturbed, you get upset, you get excited, you may join also these wrong type of people. But if you are in a state of witnessing, that itself is a power. And that witnessing state helps you to win over so many difficulties of other people.





There is a Chinese story about a saint. So one king bought his cock to him and said: “You train my cock in such a way that he should win.” He said: “Alright.” So he kept the cock of the king for one month and when the show started, different cocks came from different places and the all started fighting. This cock just stood up and was watching, just watching. And other cocks got such a fright. They couldn’t understand how this fellow is not disturbed, he’s just watching, he’s standing, he’s doing nothing. So they all disappear from the arena and he was declared as the successful one.






So this is the best way to bring non-violence. In violent places you go and stand steadily there, facing all the things that are happening and that witness state acts and stop that kind of violence that is going on.






But witness state is not a mental state, it is a state of a spiritual ascent where you become a witness. The best way to practice witness state is not to criticise anyone, not to criticise. I’ve seen people who are all the time criticising others. They cannot criticise themselves, so they start criticising others, so much so that they don’t even see what’s wrong with them. They don’t even see what wrong they have done to others, because they think they have a right to criticise others and they enjoy this criticism very much.





Actually there’s nothing to be criticised. You just watch and see for yourself, that’s all, is your right. You have no right to criticise anyone or anything. But some people think that if you do not criticise, then it will go on like this and it will never stop. It’s not that. Once you watch the thing yourself, only just watch. Your attention itself is enlightened now. With that enlightened attention, you can just watch and stop the nonsense that is there. But we are always conscious that we are something great and we have to do this and we have to do that. Under these circumstances what happen is that you become another problem. Because what can you do? You can’t do anything. But what you can do is to watch.




By watching and by just seeing things as they are, you really develop a very different state.

First sign of the manifestation of peace


You should find, yourself, what’s wrong with you. But it’s not what’s wrong with you that is the problem. What’s right with you is the attitude. Whatever is right with you, put your foot on that. Establish yourself on that point and then develop yourself further. Peace is the keynote…

Try to assimilate within yourself. First grow yourself. That growth itself will tell others how one should be. Your own character, your own temperament, your own nature, your own behaviour - all this will tell others that this is a great man and they will try to follow your example.

Example is the best teaching. When the tree is small, even if it says, “I am great,” nobody is going to come and sit under a dwarf tree. But when it is a big tree, you can see the shade and everybody knows it’s a big tree and they can come and sit under that. You don’t have to tell. In the same way, when you grow you don’t have to certify that “I am great.” It just works.

Now the peace within expresses, first, as peace with others. That is the first sign of the manifestation of peace. Such a person doesn’t use harsh words, doesn’t use cruel words, but he is also not a person who is ineffective. He is very effective, using very sweet and nice words. Maybe he begins by using harsh words, then he mellows down and comes down to a position where he is effective as well as he is very mild and sweet. Such a personality has to be developed outside.

Shri Krishna, once said 'Oh God! I have terrible pain in My stomach'

"I will tell you a very sweet story of Shri Krishna and Radha. And then I will go away. Once it happened that the ladies who were married to Shri Krishna got very jealous of Radhaji. And they told Shri Krishna that you don't love us. On top of that Shri Narada came to put more oil on the fire. That he said,' He really, I believe, He never cares for you, He just likes Radhaji. He is not bothered'.

So Shri Krishna, as diplomatic as He was, He started saying. 'Oh God! I have terrible pain in My stomach, now what to do? So they said, now what to do? He said,' it is very simple. You know anyone who is my bhakta (devotee), if you can give the dust of your feet to Me to eat, then I will be alright.' So they got fright of their of life, you see.

As it is if I ell you anything, you just want to give your solution every time. Nobody listens to Me . if I say go here ,'No no it is better to go that way.' Come here 'no no, this way is better'. Everybody has a brain wave about it. Doesn't matter. So there they had brain waves. They said you see why don't you take some medicines? Then somebody said we would call the vaidya. He said, 'No, no I know for definite that I cannot be cured by anything else but one thing, that you have to get the dust of one of My bhaktas, and I will eat.'
So everybody started looking at each other. You see. As some of the Sahaja yogis do when it comes to paying! They never heard it. Some of them never heard. Better. You see, it is very tricky nature. So they said now what to do. If we do not cure Shri Krishna, He is just wailing and what to do/ Shri Krishna said,' Have some pity on Me, give Me some dust of your feet' so He said to Narada that you go ask Radha to send dust of Her Feet. So he went to Shri Radha, Shri Radhaji was in Vrindaban, and the soil of that place is yellowish in colour like Kesara, like Saffron. So he went and told that Shri Krishna is very sick, He has got terrible pain in His stomach.

She got fright. She said, "Really? How can that be, I cannot believe it. So what does He say? What treatment can He take? He says anyone of His disciples, anybody of His bhaktas , if they send a little of the dust of their feet, He will be alright. He has to take that as medicine. So She said alright, take the dust of My feet. He was amazed! He said, "What are you doing? You understand, if You give him the dust of your feet, then all your punyas (merits) will be lost. He is playing some trick you know. Just don't try this thing. She said,"Nothing doing, You better take it." But he said,"what about your punyas and papas" she said, " I know one thing. It is He, who looks after My papas and punyas. I have not to think about it."

So he took the dust of Her feet, which was absolutely yellow like saffron or like pollen of the flower. And he went and gave it to Shri Krishna. Shri Krishna said" I knew Shri Radha will send, now let me eat It.' He said, " You can eat, but you have to answer the question, that Shri Radha has said that you look after Her papas and punyas. How is it? How can it be? What does that mean? That You know what is punyas and what papas are and She is not bothered about it. She has not to worry about Her papas and punyas." He said, "Alright, now let me take the medicine." He took the medicine and said I better sleep. And Shri Narada saw the heart of Shri Krishna open and in the heart was the lotus of a very beautiful pink colour. On that lotus was lying Shri Radhaji. And Her feet were rubbing against the pollen of that lotus and the yellow of the Vrindaban clay was the same colour as that. And then he realized that when She is touching that lotus with Her feet, what does it matter if She gives the dust of Her feet to Shri Krishna to take. She is in His heart. When Her feet are in His heart, what does it matter? And that is how they realized that Shri Radha's love was so great that for Her She did not think of Dharma -Adharma, but just to be a t the command of Her Lord, She acted, and that is how She had a place in the heart of Shri Krishna."

Thoughtlessness in meditation

Sahaja Yogi: How do you attain nirvichar (thoughtlessness) in meditation?




H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: In meditation? There is no vichar (thoughts) during meditation. Why should thoughts come in meditation? You are not to seek anything during meditation. It is only to be felt within. It is you who have to discriminate whether you have realised this or not during meditation. In meditation, first you will come to know your own mistakes, where you were wrong, and where you were right. When you start realising your own mistakes, then you are on the right track. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you see yourself. What is the use of seeing others? The trouble with us is, we always like to see others in the mirror. Then how will you identify your own faults if you start to see others in the mirror?

Introspection in Meditation to be a Sahaja Yogi

If you become the ideals, the power of ideals itself will make you so dynamic that you don't need to consult anybody, you become the ideal. They are like torches. Your ideals itself will be enlightened. So the first attitude should be, how do we deepen ourselves? That should be the first attitude. (06, 11, 1983, UK) So in your meditations, you have to sit down. Now what do you see in meditation. Try to see all the chakras, what chakras are catching, face it yourself. These might be from your past life that some chakras are weak, try to make them all right, try to strengthen them because ideals have to be worked out. The instrument has to be all right, if the instrument is a crazy one how will you do? So first of all you must develop your instrument properly, it should be balanced, powerful, and not cowardly. People should feel your power. Of course the power is of love, but love doesn't mean that you compromise with all the nonsensical things. There should be no compromise at all. It's a very self-certifying state. We cannot say when it is, so we just cannot say. It, the state itself, will certify that 'I'm all right now; I have reached that state.' You cannot say after five hours three minutes and two seconds you will become that. You just mature and see that maturity within you. Once you understand that, unless and until you become your ideals, you are not a Sahaja Yogi. (06, 11, 1983, UK) You have to understand yourself what are your problems, why are you behaving like this. You treat yourself as a child. When it is needed you have to rebuke yourself. When you have to glorify, you have to glorify yourself. So now you separate. You become the mother, and you, whatever you are, which has to grow, is the child. Mother is the ideal. She is the inspiration, she is the power and the child is the recipient. If the child is an obstinate fellow, then you can't do anything about it. Also find out, you might be one of them. I know who are like that. There are many. And you can find them out in no time. Obstinate fellows, if they live with ten people suddenly we hear reports of their existence. They are quite eloquent, even if they are not talking a word, people can tell you, "I had a fight with such and such, that person said such and such a thing to me, that person was so cruel to me, that person demanded this," you know which person, where. You see, as a diamond can be made out, thorns can be made out also anytime. You go near the thorn, anyone without exception, it will bite everyone, it is not going to spare, it is a thorn. So a thorn has to be a thorn. But if you are a Sahaja Yogi you have to be a flower, and a strong flower, and an eternal flower that always grows, does not fade out, always growing never fades, such a flower you have to be, then you will be surprised that you do not get into a trip of ego neither you go into a complete collapse of super-ego.

Surrender to attain Gravity

If one cannot surrender that doesn't mean that you don't do anything, but surrendering means "the worship", the respect for the higher, the obedience to the higher, not to argue it out, not to react; acceptance, absorption. Like a child absorbs the milk of the mother without questioning, without reasoning. That is why Christ has said, ''You have to become like children.'' But if you are questioning, then you are no more a child. So the first state, which you have to develop, is a childlike state, but a child that is a realized child, which has to have gravity. If you can develop childhood first then everything takes a proper course, because maturity cannot take place unless and until you start from the very beginning. And gravity means maturity, not frivolousness. (14. 07. 1984 - Leysin, Switzerland)
