"Therefore all those who think themselves as leaders should be like an
ideal personality. And their greatest ideal is that how much Love they
have within themselves. Some are there who try to show their
greatness....some give great lectures...some of them suppress others
and some dominate others. The most important thing is that whatever
you do, there should be just the reflection of Love in it. It should
be clearly visible that it is all because of Love. Sometimes if it is
necessary to get angry on someone or it is necessary to scold someone
then he/she should know that this is out of Love that he is scolding
me....if he will not scold me then I wont become all right. So we have
to establish our benevolence because your spirit has the desire of
benevolence of whole world. Except benevolence it cannot get
satisfaction."

This blog contains personal reflections on Sahaja Life by practitioners of the Sahaja technique. Sahaja is the path of enlightened knowledge, as opposed to other forms of yoga and meditation, which profess singular paths like devotion-only (bhakti path). Growth in Sahja happens by experiential knowldge acquisition.

Sunday is Agnya chakra's day...
This is the day for us to remember that Christ was born on this
earth as a human being. He came on this earth and the task that was
before Him was to enlighten human awareness, with the sense of
understanding that we can see its actualization within the awareness
of human beings that they are not this body, but they are the
spirit. The message of Christ was His resurrection that is, you are
your spirit and not your body and he showed by His resurrection how
He ascended into the realm of spirit, which He was.'

Marriage & Parenthood
This heart centre is caught up by various emotional problems in
human beings. Husband and wife, if they all the time quarrel, there
is always quarreling in the house, specially if the mother is very
dominating, the child develops this centre. And if the father is
very dominating, the child develops this�the heart itself. So it is
very important that husband and wife should never quarrel in the
presence of their children.
Like marriage, also some people come to Me and tell Me, 'Mother, I
am very happily married or unhappily married'. The one who is
happily married is equally headache as the one who is unhappily
married. The unhappily one I can understand why is a headache. But
the happily married also says, 'I must do something for my wife, I
haven't done anything, I haven't bought her a diamond ring, I
haven't done this for her, and this and that.' But where is your
attention. The whole attention is directed to that which has no
meaning.

The Subtle Child
Think of mother who has to bear the child, has to give birth to a
child, has to look after the child, the needs of the child, protect
the child, to train the child.
…Now in the same way sahajayogi must know that the child within him
is born – the Spirit. Spirit is the child which has been born within
him, now he has to nourish it, through the Kundalini. He has to
water it, he has to look after it. It has to make it grow. Now where
is the time for other nonsensical things? You have a child in hand.
You are all mothers looking after the child – that's your Spirit. So
where do you have time for all these things? The attention should
be: "what can I do to make this child happy, to make this child grow
to make this child completely manifest my self. "The mother replaces
herself as soon as a child becomes a mature child. So now in you,
the motherhood must take over the fatherhood. Motherhood towards
yourself. The attitude should be like a mother towards the child,
how her attention is towards the child.

Left Quests
Janjaals are literally "Quagmires". The left side loops down in descent infinitely and a person with wrong, restrictive, left-sided ideas can infinitely loose himself in the unending maze of the left side. The sustaining forces for such a person are conditionings, heresay and secondhand knowledge which is never guaranteed to be pure. This vulnerability protects the person from being a social menace, but becomes a menace to its own existance. The ideas, aka bhoots (past-based-constructs, conditionings) take such deep roots that a immature realized soul can get lost in the stupidity of beliefs.
Practice of life rather than being a spirit-sustained living experiment becomes a hurried, scary rollercoaster of believing in just ideas rather than being powered by the spirit. The spirit is behind the clouds and can come out and shine in the presence of the Kundalini. It is the Holy Kundalini as Shri Durga that will extract these left-sided souls and show them light and a life of balanced living.
In my personal case, it is taking time. Being an alumni of that dangerous school of thought where there is a practice of life based on country-conditionings rather than the spirit. Unable to get vibrations for a while after realization should put an honest question: "Why cant I feel vibrations if I am realized?" But there are plenty of stupid ideas that circulate saying "Its allright, you'll get it" or "It doesn't matter when you are doing it from the heart" etc. Nothing wrong with these ideas floating around, except that they cannot back themselves up in the long run.
Being an Asian Indian in this birth, it was easy to pull off tricks that make apparent the daily conduct as being a yogi. But the western-born is also vulnerable to karmakand [ritualistic perfection] to sustain the drama of "yogi-ness", if you will.
This blog has commented on honesty before, but not with this new found perspective. Solutions to all problems left or right, are well expounded on by Shri Mataji's talks in the 70s, 80s and 90s. These living artefacts of evolution explain in astounding detail the problems we have.
The problem with our problems is the fact that the mind is smart enough to cloak it with excuses and render them either genetic & unsolvable [superegoistic] or not-a-problem [egoistic]. Humans can live with the problems. Adjust to them. Unconciously feed them. When the light shines down, when the cleanup time comes, it reveals the tragedy of the rottenness these problems have caused without our knowing.
A speculation on why we do not know about problems: Not because we are unevolved, but probably because we are the most evolved on earth. Our immunity blesses us with strength to do routine activities, even carry on wrong lifestyles without sensing the destruction... because of the vastness of the inner space. Like theivery in a large corporation goes unnoticed.
I can tell you a zillion times: stop identifying with the defective soul and identify with the spirit. But to make it happen, to actualize it, needs the supercharged voice of Her Holiness Shri Mataji. I hope this post awakens inspiration in those who have hit a deadend or those who have a nervous idea that they are comfortably allright & they have finished their achievements.
