All of you recognise Lord Shiva, and He is worshiped. But you do not know the different aspects of His virtues and qualities. That is why many times you make mistakes. The most important form of Shivji is bliss and joy. And this joy of His is spread everywhere in subtle and subtlest forms. But until you become spiritually subtle, you will not be able to recognise these various forms, nor will you be able to understand them.
He resides in every particle. In everything, we can say, He creates a joyful Universe. And when you move around in that environment you find that you have been transformed into something else.
The Path to Absolute Truth
Other people find happiness in different things. For instance some people find happiness in destroying themselves. By taking to wrong paths, and doing things which are against the Spirit, they think they can find happiness in it. But the Atma [Spirit], Which is verily Shivji, finds joy in a different way. And only that can touch our heart.
Like there are a lot of people who are immersed in material things. Some take to alchohol, some indulge into sinful activities, they keep doing all wrong things and they think that there is a lot of happiness in that. But it is not so. Slowly, slowly they get destroyed. And slowly, slowly they are finished.
But Shivji comforts us, He gives us peace and He gives us joy. And when the Shakti [Power] of Shiva and the Shakti [Power] of Vishnu – like Kundalini and Sushumna Nadi; when they combine, then you can feel the Truth. The aboslute Truth.
Such that you cannot refuse to accept the Truth. Because it is the abolute Truth. Which you can feel on your fingertips, on your hands. You will have many experiences by which you will understand that in the absolute Truth there is not even an iota of doubt. You can know it in you; you can understand it. This is the gift given by the Kundalini.
Hidden Role of Shri Vishnu in the Central Path of Kundalini
This means that the Kundalini, which is the Shakti [Power] of Shiva, when She rises through the central channel, She awakens all the chakras, aligns them in its entirety, assembles, and unites. Who looks after that Shakti [Power]? We can say that Shri Vishnu is the one who looks after Her, because She moves in the central path, which is the path of Shri Vishnu. And then She reaches the Brahmarandhra, and manifests.
And on reaching there we can understand that Her journey is now complete. So we can see so much cooperation and understanding among them.
But we people have contracted a new type of disease – everyone is running after money. Running after money has become a very strange disease. And for that we are willing to go to any lengths for it by taking any support. Even in Sahaja Yoga people do that.
The reason for this is that some sort of defect has crept into us. A lot negativities have accumulated in us. And the cleansing of these negativities can only be done by Kundalini.
But if you do not fully absorb and assimilate this Kuindalini shakti; through meditation if you do not grow It, then you cannot reach that state where the Power manifested in you which is the truth, joy giving, peace giving – a weakness remains in that.
If You Don’t Grow Through Meditation
When the Kundalini rises, She cleanses everything. With the Power of Shivji, everything gets cleansed. But still some people suffer because of their old habits or because of wrong ways. And those people – with whatever that is wrong, whatever bad habits of theirs, even with the slightest temptation they fall from their ascent. Even if an atom of negativity is left within us, they can fall and get completely destroyed
Those who come to the Pujas and meditate, those people always make progress. If there is no peace, even a tree cannot be saved, it cannot grow. Even germination cannot take place.
That is why, if you do not have this meditative quality, if you do not have high ideals that I will not be swept like a kite, I will not succumb to any bad habits, then you should attend all the pujas – as many as possible and you should be in meditation. Because now you have the right to do puja.
Everyone doesn’t have the right to do Pujas. Anyone and everyone goes to do puja. But when there is no connection, then how can you be authorised to do a puja?
But many people go to this temple or that temple; go to this guru or that guru. Nothing comes out of that. You are your own guru, and only you can introspect and think, ’what is the problem in me’? . ’In our heart are we completely accepting Sahaja Yoga or not?’
I have seen a lot of people come into Sahaja Yoga and after reaching a certain height, they fall. The higher they rise, the lower they fall. The reason is that the hidden tendencies in you have somehow become active without you being aware of it.
That is why you must pay attention – ’hope I am not falling into wrong things’, or ’hope I am not doing anything wrong which is aSahaja [against Sahaja Yoga ]’, or ’have some bad motives arisen in me that I have come to Sahaja with the idea of making money?’. Or ,’I have come into Sahaja Yoga to do something bad?’ Our attention should be towards these things.
The best thing to follow Sahaja methods, whatever are the activities of Sahaja – like meditation etc., you should do all that and establish yourself individually . In you there is a special type of – one is individuality and other is totality. Once you are established individually then you can become a collective person. Those who do not attend collectivity, they cannot also grow individually. This I have seen. Those attend collectivity, only they can grow.
Real Purpose of Realization: Transform the World
For some time maybe you’ll get some benefits, like you get some money, or fame or something. Especially in Sahja Yoga some people have this ambitions –‚’how many people can I control’. Even that also happens. But your personality does not improve.
There is no depth in you and you are not a Sahaja Yogi of high quality. Till the time you are not of high quality, all your talks are of no use. Because, don’t know when you will fall from the brink and when you will be destroyed completely.
That is why we should be cautious and try to achieve high spiritual personality. There is one more thing you should do. If you have got your Realization today, then ’tomorrow’ you give Realization to thousands of people. Then your Powers will increase. If not, whatever little you have achieved, will also be finished. This is a very unusual rule. It cannot be compared with anything else.
Like if one lamp is enlightened and from that another is enlightened; even then you cannot say that the light of the first lamp increases – it is not so.
But in Sahaja Yoga I have seen, that if anyone opens his heart and sincerely does Sahaja Yoga and not only that but gives Realization to others, he shines. Because you have been made a Sahaja Yogi so that you tranform the entire world.
That you create a great wave of transformation in the world and make it a beautiful place. The world should become a new and special world this should be your pure desire.
Once you have this pure desire, your Kundalini becomes activated. I have noticed that even a very simple, normal people, when they narrate their experiences, I am surprised – how did such a thing happen to them? How did they give such a suggestion?
In Sahaja Yoga also there are some people, who come for power. Some come for money. With all these things, the personality of a person is not developed. There is no glow in their personality. Because the light that you have received; till the time you do not share it with others; within yourself also if you will not be enlightened, till then no efforts will have any success.
Which is to say that our only work is to change the world; to transform the world. We have to build a special world and you are special people. When you begin to understand how important you are, then with that understanding, you will make your life beautiful.
