Good and Bad Chakras

"So first of all you must get your chakras alright. On the chakras you must put your attention. After the Samadhi state you will start opening them out properly, clear them out, know what are the chakras that are bad. I have seen people who have very bad few chakras, and many good chakras, but they will be only enjoying the good chakras and not worry about the bad ones.

Pay attention to your bad chakras. Cleanse them, cleanse them. Put all your attention to that. Put the attention of the God, of the Deity whom you worship, and you will get the complete manifestation of their power within yourself. So clear all the chakras, all the pradeshas to be established, and after the establishment of the pradeshas, you have to establish the 'rapport' with others on the collective level. Then a state when you become the complete spirit at Agnya Chakra."

Enlightening the Lands Through Personal Cleansing

"Yesterday as I told you that when we do Dhyana, Dharana and Samadhi, and achieve the blessings of the Ritambhara Pragnya then put that whole thing on different areas, called as Desha or Bhoomi. How to spend them is the point? Is through mantras. Cleanse it through mantras. Cleanse it through your attention. 'Everyday' you must know which chakra to be cleared out. You must know about yourself where is the problem, how it is to be cleansed, how we have to clear it out. Do not take it for granted.

Many people who have got say left-sided problems you will just bring them lemon and chillies, and think that Mother has done the job. I can only do the job temporarily. But if there is a vacuum, again you will suck in. You see. These vacuums within you feel hungry again, to have some more. So to take out that vacuum is your job, and for that you have to 'religiously' get out of all your defects. That's the most important thing for all of you.

And try to put full attention to all these different Deshas, is the nations as they are called as. And once you have cleared it, it is enlightened, is full of light; then you call it Pradesh, means the Desha has been enlightened. Once that is achieved, then you have reached a point you can become a Guru. But still you are not a Sat Guru. To become a Sat Guru, you must achieve the state of Ateeta. "

Attention is "Prasanna" - State of Content & Being Pleased

"So this attention must be brought round. You judge yourself - where is your attention? And what is the point of understanding? What is the measure of understanding? It's very simple. I have to be pleased, because I am the attention.
If I am pleased then you have done the job."

Cliques & Groupism

...only human beings make it a closed circuit that “This is how we do it. This is how they do it,” how it is - the method of another party or people.

This groupism is the worst of all, and is against the laws of nature. 

"You can be individual, as far as your appearance is concerned, as far as your hair color is concerned, or your eye color is concerned; that’s God has created you that way. But all other things that you have created are dead. All other clubbing methods you have created are absolutely of no value. They are just mythical."

- 1982 September, Address in Vienna during the 9-Nights Festival

The only sin is to feel small & separate from the whole

From the 1982 address on the occasion of the 9 Nights, Shri Mataji gave a new definition to original sin, which in it's generally known understanding, tends to infuse us with unnecessary guilt. However, the sin, if any, is only to believe we are powerless, individuals disconnected from the great unity. Some notable quotes from this address to Sahaja Yogis:

'That was the avidya, the artificial knowledge, the knowledge that “I am something,” that “I am the doer” - the ego. Till the animal stage there was no ego, and then the ego started growing. We can say that’s the beginning of the original sin: that “I am something.; I’m doing something; it’s I who can do it.'

Overcoming Depression by Spreading Enlightenment

Unless and until we are connected, we cannot know how great we are. And that’s how we start condemning ourselves, suffering from depression, this, that frustration. These are all artificial. And they just drop out once you know what you are, what is your capacity, what you can do, what are your powers. So that, you get awakened and you can awaken others also. This is another power you get that you can awaken other people. You don’t have to ask Me to do that. Anybody who is enlightened can do it. Like one candle which is enlightened can enlighten hundred candles. In the same way you can also do it. And once you start doing it the joy is tremendous.

The limits of mental introspection

So introspection, also, if it brings about depression and demeaning of your personality, best is not to introspect also. Because all these mental activities, I have seen, create problems. But in a state where you are thoughtlessly aware, introspection comes to you automatically. You see it automatically. You understand it automatically. You do not think about it, it just comes to you. The whole picture comes to you and you are at peace with yourself. You are never in turmoil, never in trouble. Then you don’t get angry. Then you do not argue, then you do not discuss, but you become as if dropped in to the ocean of awareness and you don’t have to worry as to solve something. When you are reflecting, then you find that this power works.

Keeping an Open Mind

No blind faith is going to lead you to reality, not at all. By saying “Just believe me”, is a wrong style. You should not. But you should not also deny Me. Keep it open. 1978/03/20 Caxton Hall, London

Enlightened Faith

Your faith is enlightened faith and it works, but you must have faith in yourself, in Sahaja Yoga and in the life you are leading faith

Being Sahaja: Relative Importance of Knowledge & Compassion

"So it is not what you can talk elaborately about chakras and things is important, but it is what you express your personality in your attitude toward things."
