...Beyond that there is God's Realization.
There are three stages to that also, but just now I
have told about this. 'Sat-Chit-Anand' state.
The 'God's Realization' is the stage which Gautam Budha and
Mahavira only
had achieved
and settled down in our brain -Christ is also here.
These two are not incarnations. They are born as Human
beings. They were born to Sita, as Lava and Kusha. Then they were born as
Buddha and Mahavira and Adishakti' was their Mother once again. Later on they
were born to 'Fatima-bi' as Hasan and Husain.
They are the two milestones you have got, by which you
can know to what height a Human being can rise. Now today they are like
incarnations.
There are other styles of personalities like
Chiranjivas, Bhairava, Ganesha. There are all incarnations. Hanumana later on
appeared as 'Gabriel the Angel'. 'Bhairavnath' came as Saint Michael. The names
are different, but they are the same personalities.
Devi has also incarnated. There is no doubt about it.
The scientist will not understand this but a Sahaja Yogi can.

Thus at the first stage when you come, is the 'Chitta' stage. You touch the 'sat' means start seeing the reality, is one thing you feel, is flowing. The ego and the super-ego are still there, but your attention has come up and you feel the 'Chitta'.
There is also a part of little enjoyment, and, the Joy or Anand, that is the joy of enjoying another human, being starts.(*) These are the feelings; this is how you enjoy Nirvichar samadhi. Samadhi does not mean going into unconscious, but the unconscious becomes the conscious. The universal unconscious becomes the conscious.
In the second stage
you become Nirvikalpa where there is no 'Vikalpa' (doubt).
At this stage the collective consciousness becomes subtler and subtler. You can understand very deep significance of things, when the reality starts becoming clearer.
You need not put your hand towards the person: by sitting down you know where it is, what is happening where he is catching, what is the problem, what is the collective problem.
You have no doubts about Sahaj Yoga, nor about Kundalini not about anything else. At that time you start experimenting about it and you start using it.
Mastery of Kundalini starts. The 'Chitta', the consciousness becomes subtle. Such Sahaja yogis are care free and live in a big way. They are not touchy. They have no time for outside gross matters, so their attention is always deep into the subtle part. They are the satisfied souls.
....a terrible temper |
But such a man gets into a terrible temper if he sees somebody misbehaving with me and cannot bear it.
After 'Nirvikalpa'
- the Ganesha becomes really "Jagrut' (awakened).
Such a person is not tempted by any woman. No temptation for another woman will exist, except for his own wife where he goes on living like a celebrated husband, because husband and wife are united in a bond of matrimony. Otherwise he is a satisfied house-holder. The stomach becomes the Dharma itself. At this stage the subtle style of things starts. Your 'Mooladhara' becomes the chastity itself.
- When you get into the Nirvikalpa stage 'the Anand' starts settling in you. Your consciousness becomes 'Anand'. There is chaitanya all around us which thinks, which understands, organises, and loves us. All this you come to know -the knowledge part of it. Then the Anand, which is the Hriddaya (Heart), starts emitting it.
Later on
what you get is 'vilaya' (dissolved) into Anand.
At that stage complete Self-realisation takes place.
At that stage you can control the Sun, you can control the Moon, you can control every element.
Beyond that, there is God's realisation.
Sometimes when we are shallow, we don't act from the heart.
Sometimes when you say a mantra, you are just saying it outwardly, you are clearing out outwardly, you are meditating outwardly. But when you say that, you are just using your right side or your left side, but not your heart.
So, what you have to do is to balance it. When you say something, say it with devotion, with dedication, with understanding and try to put it in your heart that whatever I am saying is a mantra given to me by Adi Shakti Herself, and is a mantra, very powerful. We must establish our 'Ishwara Pranidhan' ...

Ishvara Pranidhana – ईश्वर प्रणिधान – is the last of the five Niyamas given by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
The word "pranidhana" means total surrender or letting go of the individual ego in favor of a higher Self. The word Ishwara has been defined by Patanjali in sutra 1.24 as " Ishvara is the supreme Purusha, unaffected by any afflictions, actions, fruits of actions or by any inner impressions of desires." When loosely translated, Ishwara means God. However, we need to constantly keep Patanjali’s definition in mind while we are discussing the sutras related to Ishwara Pranidhana.
In the Yoga Sutras, reference to Ishvara Pranidhana has been made in four different sutras:

That means you cannot sell God in the market. You cannot pay even a single pai for
that, it is so invaluable that you cannot insult it by talking about His sale. This
is one of the tests one should put to anything, that is selling in the name of
God. A person who is holy
only gives. He may not give you material things but He gives the supreme. Shri
Krishna has said: “Yoga kshema mahamyam” – when you get your yoga, when you get
union with God, you also get your well-being after that, after that. So you cannot give anything to a person
who calls himself to be holy or anything to do with meditation, and you cannot have a courses of God’s
realization. You cannot go to a college to get a course on God’s realization.
It would be like a seed going to a school to learn how to sprout, or an egg
going to a school to learn how to become a bird, it is that absurd. You cannot
learn it, it is the becoming, how what you become. You cannot learn what you
become.
For example,
you cannot go to a school… if monkeys are sent to a school they cannot become
human beings. In education you can at the most change the outer being, but not
the base of a particular gene or… if you are a human being, you’ll remain a
human being. We have become from amoeba to this stage a human being. What did
we do, to what school did we go, how much money did we pay, how many times did
we stand on our heads? We have got everything spontaneously, it’s all spontaneous, it is all God’s grace which works it out.
You cannot do it. In the same way you cannot get your
realization by standing on your heads or paying money for it.
But some of
the horrible people, who decided to exploit the market, first studied the
people who are the seekers. They divided seekers into three groups: those who
have money, those who don’t have much money, means who are seeking in money,
and those who are seeking power. And they came out in three groups.

Intelligence, Geneve 1980
So when we see Shri Krishna’s life, the way He lived. And then He went to help the Pandavas.
He told Arjuna that, “I can be your charioteer. I can drive your chariot. But I
will not fight.” Arjuna knew that He was all powerful, if He is there
everything will work out. “And all My army, I’ll give to Kauravas, to see the
balance.” He said, “All right.”
He didn’t fight to show off, I am this, I am that. Like here: “Mother, I am the
leader! (Laughter) I am the leader. !” /Shri Mataji:/ “Can’t hear, I can’t hear!” (Laughter) “-Mother,
I am ‘this’!”
You are a Sahaja Yogi. It’s a very great name that you
have achieved. The highest position you have
achieved.
There’s nothing more to be achieved.
Like somebody asked Me, “Mother, the Indians in India never
catch. Why do we go on
catching all the time?” I said, “Because Indians in India know they have
achieved it now. Nothing to be achieved.
You want to
have God’s Realization – I don’t know what ‘other Realization’!”
They don’t think like that. They say, “We have achieved now. We are
in the sea. It’s for us to swim over.”
All these things, some of you have crossed over, some
of you have absolutely lost them.
But some of you are still there. They
are the most dangerous thing
as Christ has said, “Be careful of the murmuring souls.” I don’t know how to
stop this little rat-like people, who are cutting the nest of Sahaja Yoga. I’ve
been reported about many and I am really shocked. After so many years of My
visit how can people talk ill of each other and can create these problems?

Now, the third thing that troubles Sahaja Yogis is
that, « Mother we want God’s
realization»
– that makes me
laugh.
You see, it is already there, already there.
Like once you get into the sea and you say “Mother, we
want to go to the bottom of the sea” – you can always go, just slip, and you
will be there. In the same way, once you
have developed a kind of a self-realization and have jumped into the ocean of
this compassion, there’s no need to achieve anything, the sense of achievement,
I should be that, I should be this, is all coming from your human haunting.
That should be over, now you are Godly people. So you should not think, «I should achieve
this state, I should achieve that state», but just go on slipping, just giving
up all the weights that you have in your heads and it will work out.
This is what I have been saying to you that, you have
to dissolve yourself into the compassion.

Now the main question today which I’m going to tell
you about :
what is God’s Realisation ?
First is the Self Realisation, and there are many ambitious people who want to
become God’s realized.
First and foremost thing, we should know that human
beings cannot become God. Its not the becoming of it. You have not also in a
way become the Spirit, because the Spirit is emitting through you, using you,
giving you, looking after you.
If you become the Spirit, there won’t be any body,
nothing will remain.
So with this body intact, the Spirit is acting through
this body, giving you all the light. But one cannot become God almighty, this
one has to understand very clearly.
But what is God’s
Realisation is to know about God.
To know about God means to know how His powers are
working, how He controls, by becoming part and parcel of God almighty. Like my finger doesn’t know about my
brain, but it acts according to my brain. The finger cannot become the
brain, but it has to act absolutely according to my brain, because it is so
connected, it is so one.
Here, when you have the God’s Realisation, then you
know about the brain, you know about God, you know about His powers, you know
everything about Him.
As far as I’m concerned it’s a difficult task for you, because I’m a Mahamaya. It’s very
difficult for you to know each and everything about me. I’m quite an illusive
person, as you know that well. And whatever I do or whatever I achieve, it is
just for you to see and understand that, after all, this is Adi Shakti, and She
can do all these things.
You can also do all the things, but you cannot become
Me.
Once you
know that clearly, how things are working out, with what power you have
achieved it, then it’s God’s realisation.
Such people become extremely powerful, in the sense
that they can control so many things. There have been many saints of that kind,
but sometimes they fell from even tha,t and they developed their ego. They
didn’t have their own humility that they should have, that devotion, that
dedication, that surrendering. They fell down and I’ve seen some of them that
they become quite proud of their achievements, they don’t want to leave it to
anyone. They think they’ve achieved it with great difficulties and why should
they give it to others. Such people are not going to rise very higher.
But you people who have got your Realisation, and who
are humble, who know that out of humility, only
you are going to achieve your surrendering. Islam means surrender. Mohammed
Sahib has talked about Islam meaning:” you surrender.” If you cannot surrender,
you can never know God. He’s clearly said that unless and until you know
yourself, you will not know about God.
So as Sahaji, you have to know all the little, little
things, all the big things, and all the great visions, that you can do it
because of the grace of God, because of His blessings, because of His love for
you, that you have entered into the Kingdom of God.
Jesus knocking at the door. |
I may say you
have entered, I may say you have achieved that state, I may say that, but, still you are not there.
It’s like if I tell somebody: “Now you are in Australia .” He’s not in Australia , but I can say:” You are in Australia ” So he believes” I’m in Australia ”.
That’s not the way. You have to be in Australia ,
and then you have to know about Australia .
You have to know what sort of a climate it is, what sort of things it is.
…/…
All these limitations have to be dropped if you have
to cross over, and these limitations create such a big load that whatever I may
try, whatever you may try, you cannot stay in thoughtless awareness. That’s a
very beautiful state in which all of you should be. In that you are not
dominating nor you are compromising: you stand on your own legs and you know
for definite that you are not swayed away by any idea of any domination or any
subjection of yours by anyone.
So you become completely a free bird, absolutely free
bird and then it becomes your job to achieve your flight. One flight is up to
the thoughtless awareness, the second one is up to the doubtless awareness, and the third one is to God’s
realisation.
I’ve seen people who are very close to me also don’t understand. They behave in such
a manner as if now they’ve become Gods. So egoistical they are, that I’m amazed
at that.
Then they have to leave Sahaja Yoga.
So, you see, even if I praise you too much, if I say
anything to you, you shouldn’t get pampered. It’s a testing round. Or otherwise
also, if I tell you that this is not good, you should improve on this, you
shouldn’t mind, because I have to do it, it’s my job, and your job is to listen
to me. Because I’ve nothing to gain from you, I do not ask for anything. What I
want is you should all get my powers.
You may not become what I am, I agree, but please try
to get all the powers that I have ! This is not a difficult thing.
This is what is
God’s Realisation:
-that’s what is to know Shiva and Sadashiva. Through
the Shiva, you know Sadashiva. You see the reflection, and from the reflection,
you know who is the original. From the reflection you learn.
Thus you
reach that state where you think
you are now definitely settled in the Kingdom of God ,
and that you can see God,
you can feel
God,
you can understand God,
and you can love God.
