Sahaja Yoga Meditation… Questions & Answers

Interviewer: I don’t understand too much about that subject (yoga and meditation)  that You as a lady are the teacher, not only the teacher, the founder of a yoga–theory. Is this in common in India, that also women do it? I read that You say that it all comes from Mother Nature and therefore are there many women that were teachers in the case You are, or are You in this sense of course a unique person? 

Shri Mataji: (Shri Mataji laughing) It’s a rather embarrassing question, isn’t it? I think a Mother can do better job than anybody else, in this respect, but you have to have a lot of patience with people, isn’t it? Say if it was Christ, He is very nice, He got crucified and finished the job. You see, He was so disgusted and Shri Krishna would take His Sudarshan and kill people. But if you have to really emancipate people, if you have to really see that they get what they have, you have to have real patience of a Mother.

Interviewer: What is the place of morality in your system?
Shri Mataji: It’s innate. It’s innate. I don’t have to tell you, “Don’t do this, don’t do that,” it’s all innate with you. As soon as you get the light you drop the snakes. That’s all. You don’t have to ask Me, it just works out. The morality part works by itself, it’s innate. You know that this if do I’ll lose my vibrations. It’s just innate. You become moral without My telling you.

Interviewer: I see. Now this is really a completely different way than the tradition says because tradition says, it is a very hard way,
Shri Mataji: No, no.

Interviewer: It’s a very hard way –
Shri Mataji: No, no.

Interviewer: and you have to behave in certain ways.
Shri Mataji: No, no.

Interviewer: Yama and Niyama.
Shri Mataji: Yama Niyama is all right, because this was thousands of years back, you see. Hatha Yoga started thousands of years back. For that they used to select one or two persons for Realization. At the time of Rama, this was one only Nachiketa who went to . He was the only person who could give Realization. And also Nachiketa he made him run up and down, he hung a sword on his head , did everything, (Shri Mataji laughing) and then he gave him Realization. So it was a different thing. Today the time is different, as I say it’s the Blossomtime, times have changed.

Interviewer: And you mean they have improved?
Shri Mataji: You see, we have ripened. We have matured. You have gone through all those experiences. We have done all Hatha Yoga, everything – in last lives. And now this is the time for you to get your fruits.

Question: Mother, is it a symbol of your photograph that gives vibrations?

Shri Mataji: It’s true. My photograph luckily has some sort of a coefficience that it emits vibrations. I mean, I would like anybody else’s photograph if it does, because it’s a good idea; but I don’t think there’s anyone like that, because none of the incarnations and none of the saints were photographed. It’s very surprising, nobody was photographed. At the most, and also, nobody was portrayed in their lifetime, because you know what happened to all the saints and to all the incarnations: when they lived, everybody was after their lives. No question of having so many people. I mean, even Christ had hardly twelve people and how they tortured His life! Actually, if you see His public life, He lived hardly for three and a half years and they crucified Him.

So, this is what the world was. It’s not so bad now. I mean, nobody is going to crucify me, Continue Reading »

Question: In order to develop realization, if you’re not living somewhere close to where there is a center then what do we do?

Shri Mataji: There’s no need to depend on me. We have people here who are experts, who have really become masters. And, they will definitely help you so it doesn’t matter. I am always with you. Whenever you think of me, you’ll know I am with you and you can always write to me. There’s nothing to feel that I’m away from you, that … maybe that is the reason people don’t go further with it. But as you trust me, you trust yourself. You must trust yourself. You must have faith in yourself that you are quite capable and you can do it. You can do it and that there are people who will help you. They are very humble, sweet, beautiful people. You will like them and they’ll all help you till you become perfect. Such love, I tell you.

Children are the best, children are the best for Sahaja Yoga. They take to Sahaja Yoga in no time. Most of the children these days are born realized and we have to just understand them. So many children are born realized. Children are the best to understand Sahaja Yoga, to work it out and they just of a very high level, I should say. Like the other day there was a child who was receiving a phone. He said, “Oh, it’s all right. You are not a yogi.” Puts it down the phone.

So I said, “How do you know?”

“Mother, he had no vibrations. How could I know? Why should I talk to him? Let it be, I put down the phone.”
