Becoming A Real Yogi

Becoming A Real Yogi Divine Gift of Realization

This is only because I have given you birth Nobody could have done before this I tell you – you can cure others, you can give speeches in Sahaja Yoga; you can know your own problems, your own surroundings, you can cleanse yourselves and others.

Only with realization it’s that it’s all in a bundle. What a jump it is from the first awareness where it was just a desire. From here, you started. But all these things that were looking quite funny in the first one when you had desire, from a very subtler beautiful forms as they come into you. At this time, you do feel your chakras, their problems, you start again analyzing them.

The biggest problem in the West is they start analyzing. You give them a case, they’ll analyze it. Give them anything, they will analyze. Analysis is the biggest thing and that’s how this analysis business is.

So maddening for them. Here it is that they’re clinging on to their realization, the other side of everything, analyzing. You see, the legs are analyzed, feet are analyzed, nails are analyzed and they’ve taken on the microscope and seeing to it, there the legs are to be used for climbing up, and here you’re analyzing the legs and feet, see the whole purpose is lost when you start identifying with whatever was hanging on to you.

So now you should say, “Now finished, done! Now I’m another person

Realization Has Transformed You

The greatest thing is in this awareness of yours when you are realized, you must accept that the person that was there is dead and finished and gone. “I’m a different person”, now that acceptance, people find it difficult because ‘Sri’Ego is there.

It doesn’t allow you, it says, “Oh God, how can that be?” I mean to say that you are transformed absolutely, can you imagine, you can give realization to people. You tell somebody, they say, “Oh I know this”, they will all run away, nobody will believe, but you know you can give realization. Nobody will believe it. There was a yogi, first he said, “Mother, how can that be?” He couldn’t believe that he could give realization. Poor fellow has been working as a yogi for so many years. He wouldn’t believe it to begin with – same fellow was giving realization.

Even if to believe you can give realization takes time. They cannot believe. So what you have to do about becoming is to least believe: yes, you are giving realization. After all, you see it like a white cloth before you – still you say it is black, Hurst Blue! So these dealings with the Hurst Blue is the worst case. You are giving realization, see how Ian is suppose to be going to the psychiatrist, he can give realization to that psychiatrist. The doctor who is going to treat you, you can give him realization.

Realization Is Not a Belief – It’s a Living Experience

Believe it, you can. But when he says this to him, he thinks, “Oh, he’ll run away.” But at least believe into yourself. This is the place where you must have faith. This faith that you got realization through Sahaja Yoga. That it’s a tremendous power, that there is an all-pervading power which is absolutely dynamic and that you have that power flowing through you, and that you are giving realization, and that your brother is something special.

Faith is not faith because I’m saying, because it’s blind, but you have seen it, but this is what it is when you see it, you also don’t believe it, then what should I call it? You know for definite that this is happening but you don’t believe into it, then what should I say? If you believe that it is so, that is faith. Imagine faith means blindness! It’s opening your eyes much more to what it is and accepting that it is so. And then the faith must grow.

At this stage, it is the power of faith that helps you. Nothing but power of faith. And power of faith is the greatest becoming power I should say, because then you realize that whatever you had known so far has been of no value. This is something so great and so gigantic and so dynamic. It’s something so much out of the blue that you have never known before and then you get really bewildered and then you start having faith. Becoming A Real Yogi

Now then, when I say that you just put your hands like this and put a bandan, it works. It does work. Then also you start seeing that when Mother does like this (blows on Her hand) to Herself, we all feel it. Then we start feeling it that we are in Her and She is in us; and that we are aware of our wholesomeness and She is our wholesomeness; then the faith start growing.

You cannot realize it because this is beyond analysis anymore. Only dead things you can realize; living, you cannot. This is beyond living – this is what it is. So you cannot realize it so you start surrendering. When you start surrendering and the faith comes in then your awareness rises higher than this, and these small, small, little, little, things which have become subtler, they start departing from you.

Third State Where Nothing Affects You

This is the third state where you three gunas you can see, but they do not affect you. So in the first state you have desire. In the second state which is a very big thing, you see the desire being fulfilled, but all these subtleties are mixed up within you. In the third state, you see them, but they do not affect you. This is the third state when one has to see that they do not affect you.

You do see catching, but then you do not call catching, catching – you say recording. You think you are an instrument, you are just recording. The effect of that becomes very small, very small.

You become so powerful within that the effect of this catching is very little, you just record this effect. This is the third state. Now at this third state, you rise up to this third state – the only way is complete faith.

Faith is; first of all, you have to learn certain things about faith; one of them is the protocol, but with faith, if you learn protocol then you will not feel bad about it, but if you’re forced into it, you’ll feel bad, the mixture state is still on.

So to develop faith, you have first of all to tell yourself rationally, clearly, “Don’t you see this is happening? Can’t you see it is rising? Can’t you understand” Tell yourself, “Isn’t it dynamic” Just sit down and think how wonderful it is, how great it is.

Just talk to the ocean, talk to the flowers – they are better than many human beings – and tell them, “Don’t you think so?” Go in the museum and tell all the statues, “I’ve found it, I’ve got it.” Tell yourself–so telling yourself, you’ll develop this faith. There’s no way out. Many people have asked Me this question: how to develop the faith? Now, it is such an absurd thing.

Here you are knowing the Kundalini, you are giving realization and turn round and ask, “Mother, how do we develop faith?” It is beyond Me to understand that, I mean what is happening here, now what are you doing? This faith then starts encompassing. Also, what I say means absorbing, not criticizing, not reading back, but absorbing it.

This absorption can be hindered by many other means, also absorption is the only way you grow. How does a tree grow? By absorption. What is the mouth of absorption? Is Nirvichara. What is Nirvichara? Where you do not think about it. Now then, I say you are not to think, at a lower state, people will say, “Oh, you know, She’s very dominating, very dominating, I must say!”

But absorption is only possible when you have faith, and the whole thing goes into you, go on sucking like a child, the whole thing goes into you just like a lake it is, without any ripple, it reflects the complete, entire creation in it, complete.

If there are any ripples, then there’s diffusion, what’s confusion. So is the stage of faith which starts from the second to go to the third. For example now, we’ll take a simple case of My photograph.

There were no photographs before. Only in My lifetime the photographs have started, for your information. These photographs also you have developed yourself on your own, of course with the help of the Holy Ghost no doubt, that goes without saying, but you have developed it. I Myself did not know this photography would catch Me so much.

I did not know Myself. You’ll be amazed that I started seeing that these photographs are more powerful than a statue which is made according to what I was before. Because this is the present thing; this is how I exist. I was amazed Myself that it was emitting vibrations and life and that My photograph came up so well. See the main problem was how to approach so many people.

You can have, say, one hundred Sahaja Yogis. You can have two hundred, you can have at the most two thousand. You see for this stuff it is very easy, you just have the distraction; you pay the money and you’re there. With Sahaja Yoga is becoming, is awakening and realization. How is it going to work out?

Power of the Photograph A Living Presence

It was a very big problem for Me. It’s not that I can just give you a book and just get it and read it say that, “Yes, I have got it, I have become.” It’s real becoming, ripening, maturing, living process. Now, how am I to do it? And here is the answer – in the photograph.

Then your T.V., that’s also modern. Of course, the T.V. people have not allowed Me to go on the screen, so far, but I’ve gone on the screen in India. Only in Poona, not here, it’s rather difficult. First, let them have all the things, then I’ll go, that always has been, so this is what it is, that all your medias can be used through My photograph.

What a blessing it is. And the photograph, if you think, is representing Me, I think you’re not expressing it fully. I was amazed that My photographs are much more powerful than many statues put together, even produced by Mother Earth, because photograph has so many elements in it. For example, you see it has light element, it has water element, it has earth element and also air element.

If the air is not all right, you cannot take a photograph. And also it has the ether element (atmosphere/sky). With all these five elements, you can not produce a statue. Ether element it has because if you have a photograph here, you can transmit it to another place you can transmit the photograph, but you cannot transmit a statue as it is anywhere – only the photo of a statue, you can.

So it has also ether in it. So photograph is much more powerful than any statue. Moreover, it is a reproduction, no doubt, but a reproduction of reality, with five elements. So as with you it’s just a representative, it’s quite Me because My attention is there. We have experimented with this. A Yogini had a photograph of mine and a relation came to her and she used to mock at the photograph and say all kinds of things.

She brought the photograph to Me showing it had become all dark, black. So I said, “Who was there?” and she said, “It’s a relation who had come and made it like that, I said, “You had better put it in the sea, My attention is not there, no vibrations, My attention has gone away. You see that problem, I can see that. You should not have put the photograph like that.”

So there’s a very big difference between a statue and a photograph, because My attention is there. Of course, even the statues which are created by Mother Earth also have vibrations and they also show they have vibrations, but they cannot give you the awakening of the Kundalini because My photograph has My desire also in it. They cannot. If they could, Stonehenge would have.

If you go to these statues and it I am there, they make no vibrations, only you have to put one hand towards Me and the other towards them, then they start emitting, but they have to accept My permission. Even the statue you have of Ganesha – now it’s all right, but in the beginning, it never used to give vibrations until it was worked out this way.

But they do not lack authority. So the protocol of those photographs is important to start developing that faith. You should keep one photograph with you all the time in your pocket; respect it. As many as possible, respect them. Not for decoration, but to be respected. In the morning you see the photograph. Now I’m telling you because of faith problem.

I have to tell you it Myself, the whole thing. That’s the worst part of this incarnation because other things you have done, e.g. those who follow Christ, they will have his photograph in the morning. Especially if they‘re Hindus, they’ll touch the feet morning time, evening time, before sleeping, going out, coming in, they’ll do that. In the same way, when you have a photograph, you work on that with that understanding that Mother’s with us. You’ll be amazed how things work out.

Faith will help you. To act just as ointment on all these catches, you won’t be such a person all the time going like this – “Oh, I’m catching,” you’ll be seeing. Like an elephant – walking and all the dogs barking at you – you’ll just go along, it’s like that.

So the third awareness comes in when you start seeing all this, recording it. This is the third state. Then the fourth state is called as the turia state. In the fourth state, you dominate these three gunas. You control all the elements.

Beyond the Gunas: Entering the Turiya State

At this stage, you just say it works. You see yesterday what happened (Mother made it rain) – it just works, you become master of these three gunas. Like I used to describe that, first you are sitting in the car, somebody’s driving it, he uses your left and right side, or you can say, the brake and the accelerator and the car is driven.

Then he starts teaching you how to drive it. Then you start learning by using your left and right, accelerator and brake. Then the third stage comes in when you become the driver, but still you are worried about the man who is sitting behind, that you are doing a mistake, doing wrong.

But then the fourth state comes and you become the master, you make others drive. Order here, anyone, order the Sun, order the Moon, order. Order means just tell them, I mean no question of any domination, just desire, just say it, it works out.

Higher States of Becoming

Now this fourth stage is called turia dasha (state). Then comes the fifth stage in which I don’t want to give you names or you stick to these. They are not so clear cut. They might mingle from each other and they are but in turia state.

When you mature properly, then you jump into the fifth state; in which you do not even determine or say anything; just anything slips out of your mouth, may not even slip out, it works. It’s a state. There you handle the whole situation, sitting down here. Sitting down here, you know each other’s chakras. Then not only you master it, but in that you can enter into it.

Now, for example, I tell you. I can enter into your subconscious; into your collective subconscious; into your supraconcious; into all the areas you see, like that if I want. This is when you have mastered it completely. When you enter into it; when you are the master, then you enter into it. When you’re master of this house, you may enter into it.

Then you enter the seventh state and that is the state where you just are. Your being there is sufficient. Just being there, nothing exists, but you for yourself. Now all these seven states you can reach, because I stand beyond that and I have come down to the first state and I’m trying to pull you up. If you do not drag Me down, I can pull you up very far, so only request is don’t drag Me down.

That’s how the becoming is going to be. Now this is the basic, the basic structure and now you are feeling all the beautiful things in between and all the things can be nicely again arranged and can be done properly. But this is the basic structure of becoming. Now do not try to fix yourself up at this stage or that stage, because that is very common with people who are still thinking about it.

Then: “Mother, at what stage am I?” This is common when you grow yourself, it will happen to you. You don’t have to determine anything, it should happen to you, that’s all. Allow it to grow, allow it to grow, but at least you are at a state where you’re doubtlessly aware, most of you. But still I would say the basic desire is still not there that strong.

The basic desire, that would be cleared out. You see, sometimes it happens the house can be demolished because the basics are not all right. Sometimes in the basic there are mistakes so you go down into yourselves, right down to find out oh, this is still there, take it out. You have to weed out all those things, and that weeding out requires real alertness, but don’t get into self-pity, don’t get into this guilt business.

But a very positive attitude towards yourself, that. “All right, that’s my car, I have to put it right.” Even if you become the master of the car and the car is useless, what’s the use? Desire is the car, Kundalini is that desire. If your Kundalini is weak, try to sustain it, try to improve it. Try to raise it. Feed it, feed your Kundalini with desire of becoming. Neutralize all other desires with one desire.

Before you say something, think of it, what are you saying? Are you saying of one desire? You have the greatest fortune that you have some one who loves you very much and who can give you all this, you are extremely fortunate. Make use of it.

May God bless you. But at this stage, wherever you are, you have to develop faith. All of you require more faith and more faith, that’s all. As soon as the faith, this is the source, this is how you’ll absorb, this is the sap in you which is going to grow. More faith and more faith and more faith; because you have crossed the limits of doubts now, so the faith is going to work out.
