You Are the Prophets of Mahayoga
Divine Evolution Through Mahayoga All the religions were established on this Earth to create the seekers. You are the seekers. You are the “men of God.” Now, all of you have to become prophets. And to become prophets today’s Sahaja Yoga has taken the form of Mahayoga. All of you have to become prophets.
The prophets have two special qualities, as all the prophets had: First of all, they have to talk about spiritual education. All of them did that. Mohammed Saheb did it, Raja Janaka did it, Nanaka did it, Moses did it, Abraham did it. All of them prophesised and taught you how to lead yourself in the right path, by the right action, by leading a right life.
You are going to be the prophets of a little different nature. You are prophets, you are Islamic, you are Jews, you are Parsees, you are all those, but you are going to become prophets which are called as पीर “pir” in Islam, in Hindu scriptures it’s called as “आत्मसाक्षात्कारी Atmasakshatkari’, “Atmajas आत्मज”. In the way Nanaka has described, he calls them “par” पार. But you are endowed with a greater power. There’s more power in you. There, They had a bigger propensity. You have another delicate power by which you can raise the Kundalini of people.
Not Just Seekers But Creators of Prophets
You are going to be prophets who are going to make others prophets. Not only to establish religion but to make them prophets. This is the most important thing. Not just to maintain a static state of righteous, religious, good people but that to evolve those seekers, those righteous, good, religious people into prophets. And those prophets whom you will evolve will also be the same type of prophets but they will also have this additional power by which they will also evolve. That is why it is a Mahayoga.
This is the greatest work in the history of all spiritual history, that you are the prophets who are looking after the men of God, and you are going to transform them into prophets.” …
“you have to have proper spiritual education, about which I have given you so many lectures and things. But education doesn’t mean listening to lectures after Realisation, it means it should be imbibed within you, it should penetrate into your veins, and into your every artery, into every cell of your being. You have to educate yourself spiritually. And Guru Nanaka prophesised, just like William Blake, that, “The men of God are going to come during Kali Yuga, and there will be many prophets who will be transforming prophets- who will be transforming people into prophet state,” He had prophesised.” … … “The spiritual education in Sahaja Yoga, under Mataji Nirmala Devi, is absolutely left to your own wisdom,”
“Now, all these great incarnations had a special power over water. Because you know, in the stomach we have our Void and Nabhi Chakra which is made of ocean. Ocean represents the incarnation of Adi Guru – Dattatreya. These had great powers over oceans and over waters. Like Moses – he crossed the ocean by creating a road.
That’s one of the very significant things which shows that the Void can be crossed with the help of the Guru. And even Mohammed Sahab had a tremendous power over ocean. Then, Nanaka once put his hand on a rock and water started coming out of that. People were amazed how it started. And that’s why it is called as ‘Punja-sahab’ पंजा-साहब. ‘Punja’ means ‘the hand’. पंजा ‘Punja’ means ‘the five fingers’, you see like this. What do you say to this, this part, like that.. hand..hand with five fingers.
Yogis: This is the palm.
Shri Mataji: No, no, not the palm! The whole thing. Like this is a punja. ‘Hand’.
Yogis: The hand. The open hand.
Shri Mataji: But hand can be like this (a fist) you see? This way. There’s no word, alright. So this is ‘punja’ – this is five. And ‘Punjab’ is five waters, five rivers – in that area – are called Punjab पंजाब.
Divine Attention Requires Purity
Now, another thing about these: all these incarnations had to deal with your attention. So they were particular about looking after your attention. And that is why, from the time Moses or Abraham came in, they talked of no alcoholism.”
“Apart from that wherever there is a anadhikaar cheshta (अनधिकार चेष्टा meaning ‘unauthorised activity’) – when it is unauthorised – Gods do not exist there. They leave the place.”
“I am sinless. But, despite all that state, I do not commit any so-called sin because I have to lay down my life in such a way that you people follow. That you should not tomorrow say that, “Mother did this, She has done this so why not we?” That’s why I’m so very particular.”
” Astuteness. For payment, for accounting, for everything, one has to be extremely astute… “It’s ashram! It’s a pure thing. You cannot fight in an ashram. You cannot talk loudly in an ashram. You have to lead a pure life in an ashram. You cannot play games with each other. You cannot make it dirty. You cannot spoil it, otherwise your spiritual growth won’t come up. This is the simplest thing one should know, is to respect Sahaja Yoga. Love without respect has no meaning. You have to respect, and respect the place, respect everything. Keep it clean, be astute about it.”
Study with Depth, Discern with Light
The another point in training in Sahaja Yoga is that you have to read.” “Now you will know what to study, what not to study, and even if you study wrong things, you will know where it is wrong. So you have to study. For example, there are Jews with us – let them study Torah and see there where is it, Sahaja Yoga, in there written down. Find it out! If you are Christians read the Bible, find out. You should read Gita, you should read Upanishadas, and you should be masters.
You’ll find that Sahaj Yoga is such a light that you will know what it is. We have got the Devi’s names and the सहस्त्रनाम Sahastranamas: try to read them and try to understand the meaning of that and try to understand what it means, how far it goes. That’s how the depth of your knowledge will increase and your Sahaja Yoga will tell you what is right and what is wrong.”
Baithak Brings Depth – Align Your Attention, Awaken the Prophet Within
If you are sitting in a posture try to sit for at least an hour – try. I have sat on one posture for nine hours, people have seen: didn’t go to bathroom or eat anything and just sitting there nine hours. This is known as baithak is ‘the seat’. And this baithak has to be great in Sahaja Yoga. Try to establish your baithak बैठक, that is very important, so that your attention is brought in line with your Mooladhara and is straight there. Once you do that, practice it, you will find your spiritual growth would be better.”
“You have to meditate and think about what you have to do to become the real prophets of modern times of Mahayoga.”
we can have the puja – very simple one, because today is a day of simplicity – complete surrendering. Just imagine that these two colours are in the Void, green and yellow, and if you mix them what is the colour you get? Green and yellow? You get the blue. So the green is the Nature. So an avadhuta अवधूत has to become one with the Nature. This is the sign of the Surya nadi, the Sun. That means an avadhuta has to be brilliant like the Sun, brilliant like the Sun, and that, detached as the Sun is.
Lakshmi and Vairagya Secret of Divine Wealth Through Detachment
All the detachment must come into him. He need not have liver on Sun line. He will not have liver if he knows what to eat and what not to eat. these are the two combinations which are there in the Void. And the combination of these two, when they combine, it makes a blue. What is the blue? Is the water. So, in the water. Now see the Gurus are surrounding the Lakshmi on the Nabhi.
On the Nabhi is the Lakshmi is in the centre and they are surrounding her. They are her beauty. Without वैराग्य vairagya, without ascetic temperament, the Lakshmi has no meaning. It has no meaning. It is expressed in giving, is giving. That is what it means, that without vairagya the Lakshmi has no meaning. Without the feeling of giving, Lakshmi has no meaning. Why should Lakshmi come to anyone if they do not know how to give? And that is what one has to understand, is the significance of giving.
Now, today’s speciality is this, that: though I am the Lakshmi – alright, I am the Mahalakshmi in everything – but I am also वैराग्य Vairagya, I am the detached. The One who is Nirmama निर्मम, is beyond. Nobody can tie me, nobody can. Nothing can bound me. I just talk but it has no meaning, I am beyond. In the same way, all of you should try to be beyond.
Divine Evolution Through Mahayoga
So, from the Lakshmi angle I want to give you something, because Lakshmi looks after the saints, and the saints have to be detached. That is the way it is going to work out.”
Praise of Guru:- ‘Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devo Maheshwara, Guru Sakshat Parabrahma, Shri Mataji Nirmala Ma, Tasmai Shri Gurave namaha.’
Shri Mataji: You all know the meaning of this? ‘Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devo Maheshwara.’ The Guru is the creator, Guru is the protector, and Guru is the existence and the destroyer. Guru is the embodiment of the Parabrahma, it’s the beyond state. And to such a Guru we bow.
ॐ त्वमेव साक्षात श्री गुरु नानक साक्षात श्री आदिशक्ती माताजी श्री निर्मलादेवी नमो नमः ||
