Thoughtless Awareness – There are three types of people who come to seeking. The lowest type are the ones who have some sort of physical ailments or some torture some diseases or who are on the verge of dying or something like that, an emergency in their mind, so they come to Sahaja Yoga. All right, even if they come, they can be helped – that’s not our top priority.
Then there are second type of sahaja yogis or we can say the people who come to sahaja yoga are the people who are seeking other things in life like jobs, money, this, that all nonsensical things. But, among them there are some people who want to know the cause of the problem, why they are like that.
The third type are the people who can be divided into two: one the type that seeks balance, dharma, righteousness because they find in the world people are so horrible, so mischievous, so dangerous, so restless.
They get worried about all the worldly turmoils that are on, they get shocked and then they want to find a solution why have I come on this earth? This is one type as we call bahirmukhis – the ones, whose attention is outside but in a very subtler way, in a very Divine way.
The second ones, in the same category, are the ones who are seekers, who have been seeking in ages. They have been seeking in many lives, they have been seekers of truth.
They have been on hills and dales – Himalayas, everywhere – have done everything else and now born again here to be, to be able to find out the truth. These are called as Antarmukhis – these are the people who are inward. So the first priority we have to have of the third category, both the types are equally important.
But after becoming realized, when you get your realization, then you achieve both the qualities simultaneously. You become a yogi inside and connected with the whole world .
Your attention starts going outward because first the light is to be enlightened and the when light is enlightened, it gives the light.
Now this Kundalini, the force within you, as he said, is pure desire. It’s not only pure desire but it is a purification desire. It has a power to purify this – tremendous power it is. And this Kundalini thinks, organizes, knows, co-ordinates, blesses and ultimately guides.
So, to go beyond the cause, we must understand that this Kundalini is the pure form. That means it is detached. Anything that gets attached is not pure. Anything that gets spoilt is not pure.
What we say, gold is pure because it is untarnishable – untarnishable, that’s the quality of gold. So it is immaculate. It cannot be ruined, spoiled by anything, except that there could be khanda, as they call it, could be broken in between and thus weak.
So now, something that has a purifying quality like a purifying agent, say, take a simple thing like soap. So the soap, wherever you apply, will clean. Kundalini wherever it will go it will clean, it will nourish.
This is one quality that we must understand that it is not tarnishable, it cannot be spoiled, it cannot be ruined. Moreover it cleanses, it nourishes. But because it thinks, it knows how to nourish you up to what point, how to go, how far to go, or it stops. But thinking is not vocal, it doesn’t say anything, but when it goes round these chakras it makes a sound.
And these sounds are made because the movement of Kundalini through these chakras creates a non- percussion sound, pass through these creating sounds, and these sounds are then jotted down or heard by great saints and used in the phonetic language of Sanskrit.
That’s why Sanskrit is supposed to be the purest language.
But you need not know Sanskrit now – there’s no need, because the deities know that you don’t know the Sanskrit language.
Now, this purifying fire within you or the purifying force within you or the power within you goes and first of all enlightens our attention which is in this part as you see the green part – this is the attention is. But the movement of attention then starts moving in all directions.
Now when your attention is enlightened what we call we become collectively conscious. But still how do you go beyond cause and effect is the point.
Now, this Kundalini being pure, no cause can be attached to it – no cause, whatsoever. So, if you can enter into the Kundalini, on the principle of it, no cause can get attached to it.
That’s how you go beyond cause and effect. But how do you enter into the Kundalini, that’s the main point.
Main problem is how do we enter into the Kundalini? Supposing you are paying attention to Me and I say pay attention to yourself, you cannot. Even if Kundalini rises your attention is attracted inside, still you cannot pay attention inside. So how do you pay attention inside is through this enlightened attention.
How to Enter Thoughtless Awareness and The Power of Kundalini
This attention which is enlightened has a power to take your attention inside, to the Kundalini; and that’s how you enter into the realm which is detached – that like fortress. Nobody can enter in there.
So, when you’re in thoughtless awareness, when you’re not thinking, you are in your fortress nobody can jump at you, nobody can trouble you – all the causes drop out.
That is why it is necessary first to practice to be in that thoughtless awareness through the practice of Sahaja Yoga to begin with, so that you learn how to enter into that state – how to enter into that state.
But first and foremost thing is that your Kundalini must be awakened, then it must be allowed to move properly.
You must co-operate, you must know how to do it and raise it so that you keep it at least if not above, at least in the brain. But best thing is if it comes out. Then you have no tensions, no worries because everything that you have passes into your attention.
Attention touches the Kundalini because you are a realized soul and leaves it in the force of the Kundalini, in the current of the Kundalini and this current takes away everything – that is out – and that’s how you are cleared out.
This is a very, very simple way of explaining how you go beyond cause and effect. And this is what happens. But for that it is necessary that you must learn how to enter into your Kundalini, how to keep your attention enlightened.
Now it’s very easy – your attention gets involved into anything through your thoughts. Because when your consciousness entered into you – being the prismatic brain – like a prism – your attention has gone out.
Now, to keep this attention detached, you have to make it a pure attention. To begin with you must try to put the attention inside, to be a witness, try to be a witness. But how, how will you know that you are a witness? You have to be in thoughtless awareness. When you are in thoughtless awareness then what happens that you’re detached, you’re seeing everything.
There’re many people who talk about thoughtless awareness – you’ll be surprised – I’ve heard some gurus – they might have, I don’t know because I went to America long time back and they must have recorded it or whatever it is, they talk of it. But there isn’t anything way of doing it. Kundalini is the only way you can go into thoughtless awareness, your attention can go.
So, these people are also using words of Sahaja Yoga, I’ve seen that, has no meaning because they cannot raise the Kundalini. But that makes no difference because now you have become your own guru and you find out for yourself.
So, throw away all these fake gurus away from you. The problems, the barriers, the worst of all in Sahaja Yoga comes from people who have been to other gurus – it’s a headache, I tell you, for you and for us.
First of all that you should realize that whatever you have been doing with other gurus has been all false and fake, is difficult because you’re so conditioned – I must tell you very frankly. So, the growth doesn’t take place because you have to become the guru.
You cannot depend on anybody as guru but you have to become the guru. I can only guide you as a Mother, I can only tell you what it is, I can only take your Kundalini there, but it is you who has to become.
Like I would say, I can cook for you but you have to eat and you have to enjoy the taste of it – I can’t enjoy for you. So then, you have to give up those things which you have been following which are wrong. There may be some guru who might have been a good guru but I don’t think anybody has come on the Western side. I haven’t known of anyone who has come on the Western side because I sent one fellow, he ran away in three days from New York.
He wouldn’t settle down there, he ran up to the Himalayas and he said “I don’t want to come, Mother, don’t send me anywhere.” He couldn’t bear the people, he didn’t have the patience [Shri Mataji laughs].
So, though they did not crucify him but still he ran away, you see [Shri Mataji laughs] He said, “Whatever you may say, Mother I cannot face these people are terrible. They are just Dollars, nothing else but moving Dollars.” [All laugh, Shri Mataji laughs]
All right, so, with this kind of barrier it’s very difficult to convince people. Still they’ll go on fighting, “This my guru says so, my guru…” Then you go to your guru, it’s the best way we take it, because how can we go on convincing?
You also get a headache, you see, if you take some horrible guru’s name you get a headache – really, you get a catch. You get a catch on this finger (right ring finger), you get a catch on this finger, you get catch everywhere, so you don’t want to hear about any guru.
Even discussing these gurus you feel terrible – it’s so disgusting. (13.46)
Whether fake, horrible, money makers, you don’t know when you see them you don’t know whether to laugh or to cry – this is the situation. So, best is to find out for yourself if you are willing to give up the gurus, then only trouble the sahaja yogis – you see, they get fed up with it. They don’t want to fight that.
Now, even if you want to give up, they won’t give you up, because they have possessed you.
They’re like leeches, so, you still have catches of the guru. This is the worst catch that we have so far seen.
Now in the beginning of course, they had patience but now, I think, they have exhausted the patience. So, when yesterday I told them there were lots of people in Melbourne, I think lot of people will come to sahaja Yoga here. But they asked Me one question, “But how many from other gurus, God alone knows,” – because it’s a big headache.
