Shri Mataji: And then only you can tell the things with complete authority that this is not right.

[Guest guest]

" So this is what our awareness has to become. Awareness has to become

Paramchaitanya; then you get all the ideas, everything that are

Divine. But not only that, also the help of the Divine or the

solutions of the Divine. It is something amazing and everything

quietens down, everything settles down, and you are amazed watching

all this that you are the centre of doing all these things. You are

not aware that you are doing and you are there, that ego part is

missing, but you see it all happening around you and you are amazed

how it is happening. The whole life-style changes, the whole

understanding changes, and you become a great source of happiness,

joy and knowledge to others. You don't have to study anything, you

don't have to know much, but you will know about everything what is

right and what is wrong. And then only you can tell the things with

complete authority that this is not right. "

That's the real knowledge is to know what is God. And if that is God

then how can you suspect anything? How can you try to analyses

anything? It's God! It's God Almighty, which knows everything; which

does everything; which enjoys everything.

 

That is the one, we should say, is the 'Gnyana', is the knowledge, is

the true knowledge, the pure knowledge. Is not the knowledge of

chakras; not the knowledge of vibrations; not the knowledge of

kundalini but the knowledge of God Almighty.

 

And the knowledge of God Almighty is not mental. Again, I tell you,

it starts from your heart and goes to your brain. Something that

comes out of your experience of joy and covers your brain. So your

brain cannot deny it any more. Like the, sometimes, when you have

your mother - little mother - you know the love of your mother. You

cannot explain, it comes from your heart and you say " No, that's my

mother, she won't do like that. I know my mother very well. "

 

The knowledge about your mother, one who has given you birth may not

be, mother may not be very good or whatever it is, but knowledge

about God - that He's love, that He's truth, that He knows

everything - that just become part and parcel of your being;

absolutely, and that's the time we say is the nirvana....

 

And to know that you know God itself is so great. Whatever it is, She

may be Mahamaya, She may be anything, but I know. It cannot be

described in one book; it cannot be described in even hundred books.

It cannot be described in words, but to know that's God. After all,

that's God. God Almighty. And that gives you that beautiful surrender

where you just feel absolutely secured in that ocean of love. I wish

you all to achieve that state.

 

May God bless you. "

" With the awakening of kundalini, not only visions of God take place,

there is a dawning of creative intelligence and an awakening of

supramental faculties. By activating kundalini you may become

anything in life. The energy of kundalini is one energy, but it

expresses itself differently through the individual psychic centers

or chakras — first in gross instinctive ways and then in

progressively more subtle ways. Refining of the expression of this

energy at higher and more subtle levels of vibration represents the

ascent of human consciousness to its highest possibilities. Kundalini

is the creative energy; it is the energy of self-expression. Just as

in reproduction a new life is created, in the same way, someone like

Einstein uses the same energy in a different, more subtle realm, to

create a theory like relativity. It is the same energy that is

expressed when someone composes or plays beautiful music. It is the

same energy which is expressed in all parts of life, whether it is

building a business, fulfilling the family duties or reaching

whatever goal you aspire for. These are all expressions of the same

creative energy. Everybody, whether householder or sannyasin, must

remember that awakening of kundalini is the prime purpose of human

incarnation. All the pleasures of sensual life which we are now

enjoying are intended only to enhance the awakening of kundalini

amidst the adverse circumstances of man's life.

 

With the awakening of kundalini, a transformation takes place in

life. It has little to do with one's moral, religious or ethical

life... your mind changes and your priorities and attachments also

change. All your karmas undergo a process of integration ... a

metamorphosis takes place...

 

When kundalini awakens, the physical body actually undergoes many

changes... When the shakti wakes up, the cells in the body are

completely charged and a process of rejuvenation also starts. The

voice changes, the smell of the body changes and the hormonal

secretions also change. In fact, the transformation of cells in the

body and brain takes place at a much higher rate than normal.

However, scientific researchers are still taking their first steps

into this field...

 

By means of kundalini awakening, you are compensating with the laws

of nature and speeding up the pace of your physical, mental and

spiritual evolution. Once the great shakti awakens, man is no longer

a gross body operating with a lower mind and low voltage prana.

Instead, every cell of his body is charged with the high voltage

prana of kundalini. And when total awakening occurs, man becomes a

junior god, an embodiment of divinity. "

Holding the body steady, with the three upper parts erect, and

causing the senses with the mind to enter into the heart,

A wise man with the Brahma-boat should cross over all the fear-

bringing streams.

Having repressed his breathings here in the body, and having his

movements checked,

One should breathe through his nostrils with diminished breath.

Like that chariot yoked with vicious horses, his mind the wise man

should restrain undistractedly.

In a clean, level spot, free from pebbles, fire, and gravel,

By the sound of water and other prop iniquities favorable to thought,

not offensive to the eye,

In a hidden retreat protected from the wind, one should practice yoga.

Fog, smoke, sun, fire, wind, fireflies, lightning, a crystal, a moon —

These are the preliminary appearances,

Which produce the manifestation of Brahman in yoga.

When the fivefold quality of yoga has been produced, arising from

earth, water, fire, air, and space,

No sickness, old age, no death has he who has obtained a body made

out of the fire of yoga.

Lightness, healthiness, steadiness, clearness of countenance and

pleasantness of voice,

Sweetness of odor, and scanty excretions — These, they say, are the

first stage in the progress of yoga.

Even as a mirror stained by dust shines brilliantly when it has been

cleansed,

So the embodied one, on seeing the nature of the Soul, becomes

unitary, his end attained, from sorrow freed.

When with the nature of the self, as with a lamp, a practicer of yoga

beholds here the nature of Brahman,

Unborn, steadfast, from every nature free — By knowing God, one is

released from all fetters!
