Shri Mataji’s Public Lecture on Sahaja Yoga meditation, Brisbane Australia 5th May, 1987
(Public Lecture, Brisbane 5th May, 1987) Shri Mataji: I was not initiated. I had this from my very childhood. You see I know you would like to know about me, but it’s better first you know yourself. Then you will know about me better. All right?
(Public Lecture, Brisbane 5th May, 1987) Shri Mataji: No. You see in this Sahaja Yoga you become the Spirit. Then you don’t have to meditate much, about ten minutes or so is sufficient and there’s nothing much particular restriction or anything in it. You can sit in any pose you like, there is no restriction of any kind. Because you become the Spirit. Only thing is you have to get into thoughtless awareness, that’s the first …
Questions: Is it fair to say that the Kundalini in you arises and meets your mother energy coming from above? Shri Mataji: It is all pervading power all right. When the Kundalini rises what she does, she enlightens our subtler side of our nerves, our brains and everything. She enlightens and by that we start feeling it. Is the enlightenment that we get because of her connection with the all pervading power. It exists, already it …
(Public Lecture, Brisbane 5th May, 1987) Question: Is your Spirit one with your mental and physical being or is it separate from it? Shri Mataji: It enlightens all that. Now can you say that this light that is enlightening us, is it one with us or without us? You see light, the light is separate, the Spirit is separate from us, no doubt but is integrates everything. The reason is we see, now for example, …
(Public Lecture, Brisbane 5th May, 1987) Shri Mataji: Yes, of course there is reincarnation. No doubt about it. And when Christ has said “I’ll come again”, that means there is reincarnation. But most important thing, what are you now and what you get now, is the most important. We shouldn’t worry about what we were in last life. What does it matter.
Question: I have a search for the material and a search for the spiritual, but while I am young should I use it for the search for the material or the search for the spiritual? Shri Mataji: If you get the Spirit you get the material automatically. The whole material is controlled by the Spirit. Is very surprising how you get it. Is you enter into the realm of God. You’ll be amazed that in England, …
(Public Lecture, Brisbane 5th May, 1987) Question: Do you leave the present plane of consciousness, just by getting to the Realisation (through Sahaja Yoga). I have come here to learn but it shouldn’t happen that you lose your present plane of consciousness. Shri Mataji: No you don’t lose it. No, no nothing like that happens. Actually, what happens that you get an additional new awareness within yourself. You are very much there. Very much alert. …
Question: You talked about the imbalances or blockages in the chakras. How do we become aware of them and do we correct them? Shri Mataji: That’s what you will have to learn. Is very simple. You see once you get your Realisation you’ll have to come to our (Sahaja Yoga) centres and they tell you how to do it. It’s very simple. There are few methods by which you can just clear them out. But …
Question: Why have the churches not told us about this (Self_Realization)? Shri Mataji: That was not the time Sir. Imagine Christ lived only for three and half years, in the sense that for his spiritual undertakings. He was allowed only for three and half years to live like that. Churches do not know it but even Christ, imagine for four years I was struggling with seven English boys and girls to give them Realisation. He …
Shri Mataji: Is true. You cannot till the Kundalini is awakened, you can’t have. You see one thought rises and falls another thought rises and falls. There’s a little space in between which we call in Sanskrit as Vilumba, very little spaces. Now what happened with Kundalini awakening, both these thoughts become elongated and this Vilumba increases. So you will automatically have that. You won’t have to worry about that. (Public Lecture, Brisbane 5th May, 1987)
Question: Is the Kundalini awakening good for the children? Shri Mataji: Excellent. They are the best. Children are the best. I mean they have no complications, you see. We are complicated. We are on the left side or the right side, we have complications. They are such balanced things. They are the best. Children are the best. The more the merrier. I told them to bring all the children here, I would have been so …
(Public Lecture, Brisbane 5th May, 1987) Shri Mataji: In the beginning they do little bit. Is still they are not settled down. You see they have to mature in Sahaja Yoga no doubt. But in the beginning they do little bit differ but not much. In the beginning they do little bit sometimes differ, that I have seen because one has to mature first of all. Once they are matured they don’t. They are very much …
