Preparing for Kundalini awakening

Shri Mataji, founder of Sahaja Yoga explains how one should prepare oneself for Kundalini awakening. This talk was held at a Sahaja Ypga program in Vienna, on the 19th July 1994 and includes a translation into German.

There are three conditions. First one is that you have to be absolutely self-confident that you are going to get your Self-realization. That means you should not condemn yourself for anything. You should not feel guilty. Guilty at all about anything that has happened in the past. At this moment the past is finished. Unfortunately if you feel guilty, then this center catches very badly and you get disease called angina, also spondylitis, and also lethargic organs. It’s a fashion to feel guilty. I mean, some people feel guilty for their forefathers, some feel guilty, say for Rwanda people, you can’t help these things. It’s a myth. And at this moment it’s important that please don’t feel guilty, because the Kundalini will stop at this center. All your life you have tortured yourself and now at this important moment you should not feel guilty, so the Kundalini doesn’t rise and you miss your Self-realization. In short you should be presently pleasantly placed towards yourself. As I respect you, you must respect yourself. As I love you, you must love yourself. That’s all I want.

The knowledge of your inner being

Please enjoy the following Sahaja Yoga meditation talk in which Shri Mataji describes how you become a more subtle person when you get your Self-realisation.  The talk was held at a public programme in Vienna, on the 19th July 1994.

When this kundalini rises, and she pierces through the sixth center, becomes one with this all-pervading subtle power, you also become subtler. On your fingertips you start feeling your centers. And if you know how to correct your centers you are all right, problems are solved. But also you can feel the centers of others. It’s like microcosm becoming macrocosm, it’s like a drop becoming an ocean. It sounds fantastic, but you don’t know how glorious you are, how fantastic you are. You don’t know yourself at all. You have no knowledge of your inner being. So you feel sometimes frustrated as if you have no identity. But once you start feeling this all-pervading power then you understand that you have many powers. You can cure yourself, you can cure others. You can raise others’ kundalini, give them realization.

Joy is the nectar of the Spirit

[display_podcast]

Spirit is the freedom, is the free being within us. It is detached. It cannot be killed. It cannot be thrown away. It cannot be burnt. It is eternal. Anant. It is eternal. That Spirit is joy. That Spirit is the source of joy. That emits joy. Joy is different from happiness and unhappiness.

Ego, when it feels pampered, it feels happy. “I” like it. This “I” business. Is ego pampering – that is no joy. Because you like to drink today and tomorrow you don’t like to have a headache. It has the double side of “I like” and “I don’t like”. You like something through your ego, dislike through your super ego. So it is a one coin and there are two faces, one is happiness and another is unhappiness. Joy is beyond that. Joy is a drama, seer, is a witness. You see a drama. You know it’s a drama going on. You just watch it as a drama. You’re not involved and you are seeing it and enjoying it. You are crying if you seeing something, you’re weeping but you know you are not that, it’s a drama. Seer, the witness. Your Spirit is the witness and when you become the Spirit you become the witness. You become the witness.

For example, you are seeing something through a window. There is something in the window, for example. Now, you enter inside the room and you see through the window. Your conditioning is like one wave arising in you as a thought, which comes from the past. It rises again and another thought comes up and goes in the past. First the past thought is there and then another future thought is there, it disappears. You see the thought rising but you can’t see the disappearing of the thought. In between that is the present. That’s the place is established, that present is established when your attention becomes enlightened by the Spirit. Either you think of the future or of the past. But I say now, at this moment, at the present, you cannot stand there because your Spirit is not enlightened. Because Spirit is the present. When you get your realization, you find that you are not thinking of the future or the past, you are just enjoying. Continue Reading »
