"That kind of a silence one should have. Not a forced one, but a silence of a witness. Even such a person is talking, but inside the flow of the silence is there. You are one with that silence, it is filling you up all the time. And you can witness that in every leaf , in every movement of the leaf, you see the silence flowing. They do not speak even, but they manifest . In the same way, you do not speak, you manifest." ~ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Learn how to achieve this state easily and spontaneously though meditation !

"So this is one of the greatest things one achieves that your attention becomes enlightened and it becomes a very peaceful attention. You are not conditioned by anything. You don’t feel the frustration because you don’t want anything from anyone. You don’t expect anything from anyone. You look at others as if something is flowing from your eyes and whatever flows is the love which comes back to you as beautiful ripples of joy. So you enter into another realm of peace." ~ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Join us TONIGHT (Tuesday) @7:30PM PST - FREE Online Meditation class at this link (zoom): http://tiny.cc/FreeOnlineMeditation event: https://www.meetup.com/Sahaja-Yoga-Fr/events/kzblxrybcqbtb/

Then the growth start. Because that’s the present, not the past, nor the future. So if you stop at thoughtless awareness you start seeing something much beyond that exists you see." ~ Shri Mataji In a storm of emotion? Need a new perspective?

Thoughtless awareness reduces stressful mental activity, resulting in specific effects that improve cognitive functioning and emotional stability. Sahaja yoga meditation has been found to activate and connect brain regions that bring about enhanced attentional skills and positive emotions, making it a beneficial therapy for people with depression, anxiety and attention-deficit disorders.

Driveaway all negative thoughts, anxieties and worries and connect to the essence of your self by establishing harmony within. "We cannot meditate; we only can be in meditation. When we say we are going to meditate it has no meaning. We have to be in meditation. Either you are inside the house or outside the house. You cannot be inside the house and then say that: Now I’m outside the house. Or when you are outside the house you cannot say: I’m inside the house. In t...he same way, you are moving in three dimensions of your life of emotional and physical and mental being. You are not inside yourself. But when you are inside that you are in thoughtless awareness. Then, not only that you are there, but you are everywhere, because that is the place, that is the point where you are really in universal From there you are in contact with the Principle, with the Shakti, with the Power that permeates into every particle that is matter, into every thought that is emotion, into every planning and thinking of the whole world. You permeate into all the elements that have created this beautiful Earth. You permeate into earth; you permeate into Akasha [sky, ether], into teja [light], into sound. But your movement is very slow. When you say: I’m meditating, that means you are moving in permeation with the Universal Being. But you are not moving yourself, you are just unloading yourself to be free from the weight of things that do not allow you to move." ~ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Join us TOMORROW (Thursday) @7:30PM PST - FREE Online Meditation class at this link (zoom): http://tiny.cc/FreeOnlineMeditation event: https://www.meetup.com/Sahaja-Meditation-Santa-Clara/

"Now you all have realized by this time, that within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There’s an ocean of all that. We cannot seek it outside.

Obstacles to self-fulfillment - how to overcome them. "I mean, this only human beings can do - to create things to destroy ourselves. But this force, which works within our minds, within ourselves, within our beings, where we actually really hate ourselves, sometimes I feel the way we are destroying ourselves. This force we built within ourselves, thanks to many nonsensical writers and conditioners and people who talk of conditioning, really condition you much more. You shoul...d be singing and chirping like a bird, you should be laughing and enjoying [yourself] like a flower. While you find human beings all looking so very unhappy. What’s the reason? The reason is that you are separated from your own being, the being that integrates you; you are completely disintegrated. When you disintegrate a hydrogen atom you form a very big force built into it. In the same way, you are disintegrating your being, your physical being on one side, your mental being on another side, your spiritual being on another side. There’s no integrating part, and when you cannot feel that integration you feel guilt, but that guilt is a symptom of a very big destructive force built-in. This is the way we are going to destroy ourselves. No other way. Our destruction is not going to come to us from outside, that can be controlled; it’s going to come from within ourselves. Everything we do now, after disintegration, is further disintegration, further building up that negative force within ourselves." ~ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Connect yourself and feel integrated and fulfilled again through Sahaja yoga meditation!

We Are All One "Everybody has this thinking that the theater play which is going on in the world is the ultimate truth. Children consider the world as a play. Children know. But we people have taken the untruth for truth. For example, we think that since we are born in India so we start belonging to India, if we are born in the Christian religion so we start belonging to the Christian religion. But if you ever ask a little child, ‘Son, who are you? Are you a Japanese or ... A...merican?’ Then he will be astonished. He will be more astonished, if you ask him, ‘Are you a Hindu or a Muslim?’ If you ask a little child, ‘Son, who are you? To maximum the child may say, ‘Mother, I am your child and who else? Have you forgotten me?’ In fact we are human beings in reality; this is the truth we forget and we believe in what is untruth. When the British ruled here [in India] then they were in a very great untruth that we are British and these other people are Indians. They forgot, that they were too human beings and these were also human beings and this is the very big truth there is. The truth is... if you see one is little finger and in the same way this is another finger, then third, fourth, fifth, are all fingers of just one hand. This hand is also a part of one body. What if this finger thinks that I am separate and another finger tries to hurt the first one, and if, in the same body, teeth start biting the legs; such things I used to see in this world. I just could not understand, how to convince these people - ‘Look you are all one’. We all are entangled together: this is the greatest truth and this is the only true fact." ~ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1973 Feel connected tonight at our FREE weekly meditation class ! __ Join us TOMORROW (Thursday) @7:30PM PST - FREE Online Meditation class at this link (zoom): http://tiny.cc/FreeOnlineMeditation event: https://www.meetup.com/Sahaja-Meditation-S//nsqdrrybcnbtb/

"...when you reach the state of Vishuddhi [5th energy center located at our throat level] everything looks like a play. And you become a witness and watch the play. Nothing affects you, when you become a sakshi (witness), and watch. In this new state you know it is all a play. Because as long as you were in the Bhavasagar (ocean of illusion), you saw all the dangers around you. But now you have got into the boat and you are safely watching. You come into a witness state. When you come into this state, you just become a witness and watch without reacting.

"Early in the morning I pray to that principle of my Spirit Which is the Truth, the Attention, and Joy So I could go to the highest state in my ascent." H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's translation... of Mahatma Gandhi's Morning Prayer. Today is Mahatma Gandhi's 151st birth anniversary. When Shri Mataji stayed in Mahatma Gandhi's Ashram as a child, he asked Her to advise him in which order the morning prayers should be said in their collective morning meditations at the Ashram. Mahatma Gandhi recognized Shri Mataji as a great spiritual figure since She was a small child. This is the prayer that She suggested him to put first, and so at Mahatma Gandhi's Ashram they used to start their morning meditations with this prayer.

"The progress in Sahaja Yoga is only possible when your attention is on the Spirit. How do you nourish it? That’s another point. The only solution is collectivity. A person who is not collectively nourished cannot grow. He [or she] cannot grow whatever he [or she] may try. These are the two very important points of Sahaja Yoga and one has to understand that this collectivity is to be grown within you. But what do you become? Actually what do you become after your growth? You ...become a collective being. So you have to nourish yourself in collectivity." ~ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Meditate with us collectively online!
