Every day you should do meditation. Those who do not do meditation are capable of falling down because meditation is like putting oil into the lamp. Those who do not meditate, think they can do without it, are sadly mistaken.
They have to meditate morning and evening. The problem is everything comes so handily, so simple that they don’t understand that meditation is very important.
Not you, but there are many I know who get Realization, who don’t meditate and their style is different. Their nature is different.
Meditation is such a soothing thing … a beautiful way of connection with the Divine, that all your problems get solved in that meditative moment.
If you are not meditating, you are not following meditation, then maybe your light will go down. It won’t give sufficient light. It’s important, very important to find out about yourself, about others in the meditation.
How to do meditation, many people ask. Don’t do anything, just go into thoughtless awareness. Try to go to the thoughtless awareness. If you can get into that condition of thoughtless awareness, you can do your job because that’s the point where you are with the truth, with the reality, with the joy.
When you meditate try not to make some sort of a function out of it – no. Meditation is something silent in yourself, silence in your thoughts and going to that deep ocean which is within you, itself.
But supposing you don’t do that, if you don’t meditate I can make out immediately those who are meditating and those who are not. It’s not difficult for Me.
Those who do not meditate are always hesitating. They are confused. They can’t understand. And that’s why meditation is the most important thing.
Just like a light burns with the electricity flowing in it, in the same way meditation is a continuous availability of the Divine Force. That will reduce all your agitations. Not only that, but it takes out all the negative thoughts.
It takes out all the discouraging things. And when you are meditating like that, thoughtless awareness, then you will be amazed how you are helped from within and without. It’s a terrible power that works, this thoughtless awareness.
Meditation: Your Connection to the Divine
One should try to meditate, and go up to the point of thoughtless awareness. So what happens to you? If you are in thoughtless awareness, what happens to you is that you get the confidence, complete confidence of divinity. You know you have that.
I’ve seen children coming from our school in Dharamsala, extremely confident, and extremely humble. And I asked them: “What do you do?” They said: “Mother, we meditate. We meditate in the school in the evening, and that meditation helps.” Imagine these small children can say that, so why not you also understand it, that meditation will give you security.
It will give you real enlightenment and a complete connection with the Divine. Without the connection of the Divine, what’s the use of doing Sahaja Yoga?
I know the people who are meditating, who have gone down into their being, and who are very developed. Also I know people who are little superficial. Your depth is in thoughtless awareness.
Is a very important point which you should reach. Looking at anything, if you are thoughtlessly aware, then you really become reflective about it. Just works out that way.
I don’t know how far you can remain in that condition. But even for a second you can achieve it, you start achieving it more and more. I’ve talked so much about meditation before, but today when I see all these candles burning, I think they are all meditative.
They are all in meditation and that’s how they are burning.
Thoughtless Awareness
In the same way, Sahaja Yogis who meditate, I know. And those who don’t, I know. And if they have problems, I know why the problems are there. Main thing is your connection with the Divine, is only possible when you meditate and become thoughtlessly aware.
That’s the point where Divine works, it helps you. It comes to your help in such way that you don’t know how you have achieved it. So, thoughtless awareness is the first point all of you should achieve. Very important. After that, we can achieve something else, but the first step is thoughtless awareness.
It’s very important to become thoughtlessly aware because then there are no thoughts coming from the left or right, from the present [past] or the future. Just in the present you are there. It’s something you all have. It’s not that I’m saying that to you, but all of you have this, but steady yourself. You have to steady yourself at thoughtless awareness. How long – that’s not the point. The point is once you’ve touched it, you’ll go on touching it.
Many people meditate, but their thought process is going on. They are not thoughtlessly silent. Now this is the one point which is very important. If you have to grow, you should be absolutely in connection with the Divine, through thoughtless awareness.
You don’t have to pray, you don’t have to call anyone, nothing; it just works because it is within you. With all these thoughts are bombarding from both the sides in your mind. These thoughts that are coming to you, have no meaning with you.
They do not substantiate you. Yourself you are an ocean. And you have to get into that state of thoughtless awareness. It is always described in all the great books, but not so clearly as I am telling you.
I don’t say that some of you do not get thoughtless awareness, so they are good for nothing – no. But please try. You can all get into that state of thoughtless awareness, even for a second, if you get it, it’s a very good idea. Then you go on increasing that second.
I think it’s a reflecting mind. When you look at something, you do become thoughtlessly aware, and then your mind reflects to the depth of what you see. That’s how you all will become really very creative Sahaja yogis. What I find, that this state of thoughtless awareness is not established by many, which is not good.
Thoughtless Awareness: The True Diwali Flame
Today, on this day of Diwali, I would say that you enlighten yourself with thoughtless awareness. It is not difficult, it’s within you because thoughts are coming from this side and that side. And they are not the waves of your brain, no; just your own reactions.
But in case you meditate in the real sense of the word, then you will get into that thoughtless awareness, which is a very important point. And all these nonsensical thoughts, which are of no use to you, will disappear. They won’t be there, and then your growth is possible and you grow very well.
Many people are here who will say, “Mother, we don’t get that state”. Try. Try that. I don’t believe you cannot get it. All of you can get that thought that ‘I can get it.’ And you will get it. In that, you don’t have to discard anything, you don’t have to see anything, just go into meditation, and you’ll be amazed how it will work.
Of course, you are very much there, most of you, but still, I would say, increase that thoughtless awareness, that area.
Today is very important because of this day of Diwali. Diwali is supposed to be Enlightenment Day. But enlightenment within is: how much you are in thoughtless awareness. And everything works out, because you are the ocean of it.
You have it within yourself. Only, you have to tap it. If you don’t tap it, then it doesn’t work out. You have to just tap it, and you’ll be amazed that you are a source of such joy, source of such happiness, I should say source of real enlightenment.
So today’s message is that while meditating, go into thoughtless awareness. No thought is important because it’s your own creation. But if you have to become (one) with the divine creation, you have to get to that state of thoughtless awareness, minimum of minimum.
Once that comes to you, gradually it will grow, and you’ll be amazed how you’ll be able to grow into Sahaja Yoga in a very big way.
So those who do not meditate cannot go very much far with the advantage of Sahaj Yoga. If you are in thoughtless awareness, what happens to you is that you get the confidence, complete confidence of divinity. You know you have it.
Meditation will give you security…. It will give you are a real enlightenment and a complete connection with the Divine. Without the connection of the Divine, what’s the use of doing Sahaj Yog?
