Meditation takes some time.Shri Adi Shakti Puja, Cabella 1993-06/06:
(...) In the beginning of course, the meditation takes some time. But once you will know what is meditation, how you enjoy my company, how you are one with me, how we can have a rapport with each other, there’s no need to have anything else in-between, like writing letters or maybe some sort of a special connection – nothing of the kind!
Only thing that is needed is the meditation. In meditation you grow. In that, spiritually you become higher. And when that happens, you start – in a way, I would say – that when you reach a state of that, I should say, maturity in Sahaja Yoga, then you don’t want to give up your meditation. Because that time, you are absolutely one with me. That doesn’t mean for three hours, four hours, you should do meditation. But it is how much intensely you are with me is important; now it is not how much time you are with me. Then I’m responsible for you, for your children, for everyone. I am responsible for your ascent, for your protection; to save you from all your negativity.
So it’s not like a father who will directly punish, it’s not that, but it’s just: ‘All right, you are not my relation, I am out.’ That’s the only thing that can happen. If you are not meditating – all right, I cannot force you, I have nothing to do with you. You may have other relationship, outside, outward. But this inner relationship, by which you get your benevolence, you cannot have without meditation. I’ve been telling all of you “please meditate, please meditate every day!” But I think people are also not understanding the importance of what I am saying, because they tell me, ‘Mother, we don’t meditate.’
But you should have a full oneness with the Divine, a full oneness, and that is possible only if you really meditate, which is quite an easy thing to do, meditating. Some people say, “Mother we cannot get over time, we are all the time thinking something or that time we want to see the watch.”
In the beginning, you may have this problem. I am not saying you may not have, you may have. But that is only in the beginning. But gradually you will be all right, gradually you will master it, gradually you will know it so well that you will not like to have anything else of a cheaper type. You wouldn’t care for such things, you see, so you get to your beauty, to get to your glory, to get to your own great personality, which is now exposed, the only thing you have to do really, religiously, is to meditate. That is not that “tonight I came very late so I did not meditate. Tomorrow, you see, I have to go for work, so I can not meditate.” Nobody wants to know the excuses. It is between you and yourself. It is your gain and nobody else's. It is your gain everything is happening.
About thinking in meditation. “The method of our ascent”, Armonk, New York 1988-07/27:
Question (Lady): “Shri Mataji, through meditation and through using the fire we try to be in thoughtless awareness and we try to control our thinking. But many times, what happens to me is, though I meditate, thoughts come into my head. They just come all of a sudden and know they are not part of me. Is there a method to control these thoughts so we can meditate?”
Shri Mataji: “See, you must raise your Kundalini. Try to raise it. Put your attention to your Sahasrara. Say, “Mother, come in my head!” As soon as Kundalini crosses the Agnya you cannot have those thoughts. You should allow this simple method also, that if you see any thought coming in, you should say, “I forgive”. “I forgive” is a very big mantra. Say that, thought will stop. Gradually this short time should go on increasing,
Guru Puja, Cabella 1992-07/19:
There are certain faculties which we have to develop to begin with. The first faculty is: if you can, become thoughtless.In meditation you can become thoughtless for a short time. Gradually this short time should go on increasing, that you are without any thought. This happens also as we can say it is a state, but how do we achieve that? Again, because human beings cannot understand that anything can happen spontaneously, something has to be done.
For that in Sahaj we have something very, very simple - that you have got a mantra as Nirvichara.
So now you watch anything saying the mantra “Twameva sakshat Nirvichara”. Then you'll start seeing that, witnessing that, without thinking. Just see, witness! Just seeing by itself creates that state within us. The first state is very important, that you become the witness, the sakshi. As soon as you become the sakshi, the whole thing -whatever you are seeing- gives you the complete idea, subtle, as well as gross, of that thing. You see it and you know it, and as a Sahaja Yogi it becomes your knowledge. We can say in the modern terminology, that you, say, see something, it gets recorded in your mind and it manifests joy, it manifests knowledge, it manifests compassion, whatever may be the situation, because now you have many dimensions, which you have to develop - these dimensions are to be developed.
Meditation means exposing yourself to God’s grace
How to meditate –Public program- London – England, 1980:
(…) In the same way that the vibrations are coming, they are radiated. What you have to do is to expose yourself to it, the best way is not to put in any effort, don’t worry at what point you have problem. Say, many people during meditation I have seen, if they catch somewhere, they go on looking after it. You just don’t have to worry, you just let it go and it will work by itself.

Say, many people during meditation I have seen, if they catch somewhere, they go on looking after it. You just don’t have to worry, you just let it go and it will work by itself.
So, you don’t have to put in any effort: this is what meditation is. Meditation means exposing yourself to Gods grace. Now, the grace itself knows how to cure you, it knows how to mend you, how to settle down itself into your own being, keep your spirit kindled - it knows everything! So you don’t have to worry as to what you have to do or what name you have to take, what mantras you have to do. In meditation you have to be absolutely effortless. Expose yourself fully, and you have to be absolutely thoughtless at that time.
Supposing the possibility you might not be thoughtless at that time: you have to just watch your thoughts, but do not get involved into them. You will find gradually, as the sun rises darkness goes away, and the sun rays go into every part and make the whole place lighted, in the same way, your being will be completely lighted ,but if you put in an effort at that time or try to stop something within you or try to give it a bandhan it will not!
See, when the sun shines all the Nature exposes itself to the sun, and receives the blessings of the sun effortlessly; it does not put any effort. It just receives the sun, the sun rays start acting. In the same way, the all pervading power starts working; you are not to maneuver it ; you are not to do anything about it, just be effortless, absolutely effortless! Do not take any names, do not bother if your Agnya is catching, this is catching, that is catching; it is working out. It will go on working as long as it can and it will do the miracle that it has to do ; you don’t have to worry about it, it knows its job. But when you put an effort you actually create barrier for it. So no effort is needed; be absolutely effortless and say “let it go, let it go”, that’s all. No mantras are to be chanted.
In case you find it impossible then you can take my name, but there is no need even. When you put your hands toward me, that is the mantra, it is sufficient; this gesture itself is the mantra. You see, there is no need to say it more, but the thought in the mind, the emotions; this is what we spread our hands to, that, and it should work. When this emotion is absolutely complete there is no need to say any mantra, you go beyond it. So, one has to be absolutely effortless, absolutely effortless, that is what it is.
Meditation is for your own ascent, it is for your own capital gains that you have to have it; but once you get to it, you also achieve your powers; like when you become the governor, you get the powers of the governor.
At this time, you don’t have to think about anybody else; you are not to put your attention towards anybody else but just receive, just receive it. Do not think about any other problem, but that you have to be absolutely effortless. It would work the best on the people who are just receiving it.
You have a problem, that’s why you are here, but you can not solve them; they are to be solved by divine power. This must be understood fully, that we can not solve our problems: it is beyond us to solve our problems. So leave it in the hands of divine power and expose yourself effortlessly, absolutely effortlessly.
Sit in comfort properly, with both feet on the ground, with both hands relaxed like this; be comfortable.
You should not be uncomfortable at all because you have to sit for quite some time, and you try to put your attention to me within yourself: if you can, toward my Kundalini. If you can, you can come into my Kundalini!
So effortlessness is the key word, absolutely effortlessly: whether you are meditating before me or before my photograph.

After, nobody talks
1) The Method of Our Ascent, Armonk, New York 1988-07/27:
Question (Lady): “After listening to one of your tapes, sometimes we can’t remember what you have said, even if it’s not one of those times when we are to the left or to the right. We seem to be relatively…”
Shri Mataji: It has an effect, all right. It has an effect. But after that, I think you all should go into meditation for a while. After listening to my lecture you just go into my meditation. Actually, my lectures are not to be understood by your brains but through your Kundalini, and through your heart. So it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember something. It’s all right. It’s so many lectures I have given. How can you remember? I also don’t remember much of it. But it will come handy whenever you want to use some words or sentence; it will come handy. You’ll not know from where it is coming. It’s all recorded. Is all recorded.
2) Mahakali Puja, Le Raincy, France, 1990 -12/09:
For example, I have already explained that you shouldn’t talk. Put my tapes - there are so many tapes which they have never heard. Let them listen to my tape, then go into meditation, and then do the aarti and finish it off. Because these tapes are to be heard again and again.
Now those who get any questions out of those tapes can, next time, discuss it before starting the tapes. That’s a very good thing and that works. In India nobody speaks, they just put my tapes on, or show my videos, after that they just have meditation and aarti- finished! After that, nobody talks. But before starting it, what do they do? It is to talk to each other and discuss the problems, or discuss anything that they felt about the previous program.2) Mahakali Puja, Le Raincy, France, 1990 -12/09:

This inner silence opens our heart.Meta modern era -ch. 11:
The second experience is that, when this Kundalini rises, she creates a state of thoughtless awareness (Nirvichara Samadhi). Human beings are always thinking about the future or about the past. If one tells them that you have to live in the present, it is not possible. One thought rises like a wave and then another thought rises. These thoughts rise and fall, but they have only come from the past and the future.
When the Kundalini rises, these thoughts elongate. There is a space, very small, between the thoughts (Vilamba) which spreads out and a state of complete silence is created. Then we are in the present, but without thoughts, without any worry, without any anger, and we stand in the present, which is the reality. Actually, the reality is in the present because the past is no more and future does not exist. When we are in this state of the present we become absolutely calm and peaceful. That is how we achieve inner peace. This peace can be achieved collectively when thousands of people get the awakening of their Kundalini.

That is how we achieve inner peace. This peace can be achieved collectively when thousands of people get the awakening of their Kundalini.For example, when we are standing in the water, we are afraid of the rising waves. But if we can get into a boat we can watch the rising of these waves and we become a witness of those frightening waves. On the contrary, we can enjoy them. In the same way it happens, that when we rise to the state of the present, we see all the problems that are surrounding us and we watch them; we become the witness and we are once and for all out of those problems. We also know the solutions and we solve them. At that stage, we are not bothered about the future or about the past, but we are enjoying the blessing of the present, which is the reality, and we are thoughtlessly aware. We are very aware but thoughtless (Nirvichara Samadhi). Whatever we see is imprinted on our memory like a photograph. This inner silence opens our heart. All the ego and conditioning start dissolving in the ocean of rippleless silence. For example, if I own a beautiful carpet, it is a problem to preserve it. It is worse if it belongs to someone else: I would look after it and worry about it. But if I could become thoughtlessly aware, then I look at it without any worry. Thus, the joy of the artist who has put in the creation of the carpet starts pouring into my being from the fontanel bone area. Very soothing, relaxing waves of joy that enthrall me! All the thoughts that come to us at this stage are divine thoughts like inspirations. If we want to think, we can think, if we don't want to think, we need not think. This is the state which we call, in Sanskrit language, as the fourth dimension awareness: Turiya. This Turiya state sometimes starts establishing itself after awakening for hardly a few seconds, then it goes on increasing and a person can achieve complete peace within his own mind.
Silence will come within you. Guru Puja, Cabella 1992-07/19:
(…) So, what is needed for a Guru is self-esteem. This is a very important point people don't realize, the self-esteem. To achieve the self-esteem we have to introspect and know that, “Today I am not what I was before. I am a Realized soul, I have got powers. Of course I have powers: powers of love, powers of compassion, powers of grasping things, powers of creativity, powers of giving Realizations to others.” Nobody had these powers but somehow or other in Sahaja Yoga we are not self conscious, and we should not be self conscious because that can give you ego - but we should have self-esteem,“I am a Guru, I am a Guru, I’m not an ordinary person. I’m not on the street, I am something special; I am on the shores of truth; I have to salvage the people who are blind, who are mad. All kinds of things. In the most chaotic conditions this world is today.”
So at that time a kind of a silence will come within you. When there will be any such crisis, immediately you’ll become extremely silent. But this is again a state I am telling. So now, if there is something that makes you upset or makes you unhappy, try to reach that point, that axis, which is just silence; and this silence will make you really powerful because this silence is not only yours.
When you are in that silence you are in the silence of the cosmos, silence of the cosmos. And the silence of the cosmos works for you. You are in connection with that Cosmic Power, we can call it, but it’s more than that, is Divine Power I should say, Divine Power which is working all the cosmos also. So if you just become silent within yourself, know that you are sitting in the kingdom of God.
It is like this: when, say, you get the great honor of becoming a king, then you walk up to your throne and you sit down and look around, and you feel the silence of the state that now you are the king. This silence is the sign that you are definitely, definitely, you are now in contact with the Divine. You are silent because the Divine is going to look after everything. You don’t have to do anything, just keep silent. But not forcibly, it’s again a state. See, if any turmoil takes place, any problem takes place, suddenly your attention will jump onto that silence, and once you jump onto that silence, you are being in contact with this whole All-Pervading Power. And when I talk of it, All-Pervading Power, we still don’t understand what it is, what it means, this All-Pervading Power of love.
Is it some sort of an energy floating around or is it some sort of a river or some sort of an ether? It is the complete, the totality, of reality. Complete totality of reality is this All-Pervading Power. Others, other things there are unreal.
Feeling the joy and the bliss of God's blessings
Now when you meditate, try to meditate in a sustained way, first of all sustain it.
Then you find that you are getting into the state of Samadhi, means at a state where you start feeling the joy and the bliss of God’s blessings, and then you start saying “O God, what a blessing, what a blessing, and what a blessing!”.
Once you have reached that state then you have to realize “Who am I”. Who are you? What are you? You are the Spirit.
After establishing your sustained attention on the Spirit you’ll develop a state where you’ll be in a complete state of witnessing with joy.
Complete dedication in meditation must be practiced
Dedication through Meditation, Cowley Manor Seminar, England 1982-07/31:
Perhaps this is the first time I am saying this to you, that you have to dedicate yourself completely to me - not to Sahaja Yoga - but to me. Sahaja Yoga is just one of my aspects. Leaving everything, you have to dedicate. Complete dedication, otherwise you cannot ascend any further. Without questioning, without arguing! Complete dedication is the only way you can achieve it. People still get caught up, still get into problems. What’s the reason? So many people ask me that: “Once we have got Realization, how is it Mother we go down?”
So, the dedication in meditation, complete dedication in meditation must be practiced. It’s not for your good now you are doing, so-called “your”. First you were a little baby, a small thing; now you are that collective being, so you are not doing anything for yourself, but for that collective being. You are growing to be aware of that whole which you are going to become.
N:B: Definition of 2 words from the Cambridge Dictionary:
dedication: when you give a lot of time and energy to something because it is important.
devotion: religious worship; or: loyalty and love or care for someone or something.
You don’t have to ask
Meditation is the only way, Sahasrara Puja, Cabella 1998-05/10:
Only thing, you have to learn to be spontaneous. And that’s what I find that in Sahaj people still; though they are out of this illusion, this ocean of illusion, still sometimes their one leg is still there in the ocean, and still they’re pulling it out and pushing it back. That should not be. That is only because people don’t meditate.
Now to say you must meditate, people think it’s a kind of a ritual or maybe a kind of a style of Sahaja Yoga – no! Meditation is for you to go deep down into yourself, to achieve all that your Sahasrara wants to give you; to achieve that height of detachment, of understanding, is only through meditation.
So what happens in meditation is that your awareness crosses over Agnya, goes above and is now stationed in the Sahasrara, in thoughtless awareness.
Then the reality of Sahasrara, the beauty of Sahasrara, starts pouring in your own character, in your own temperament. Unless and until you meditate - not meditate just to get well or just to feel that “I must meditate”- but meditation is very important for all of you, that you develop your Sahasrara in such a manner that you imbibe the beauty of your Sahasrara.
If you don’t use your Sahasrara in this way, after some time you’ll find Sahasrara will close down, you’ll have no vibrations and you’ll have no understanding of yourself. So very, very important thing is to meditate.
I can immediately make out a person who has been meditating and the one who has not been meditating. Because a person who does not meditate still, thinks that “Oh, it’s all right, I’m doing this, I’m doing that.”
Meditation is the only way you can enrich yourself with the beauty of reality. There’s no other way. I cannot find any other way but meditation by which you rise into the realm of divinity.
For example I would say that myself, whatever I have done is this, that I have been able to find out a method how to give Self Realization to masses. But that doesn’t mean that if I give to masses they are all Sahaja yogis – no! You must have seen whenever you have your programs people get Realization when I’m there, and they come to programs for a while and then they drop out. The reason is: they have not meditated. They, if they had meditated, they would have known what is their quality, what are they. Without meditation you don’t understand what is best for you.
So today is a day when you have to promise me that you’ll meditate every night, every evening, maybe in the morning also. Whenever it is possible if you can go into meditative mood, you are in contact with this Divine Power. Then, whatever is good for you, whatever good for your society, for your country, all is done by this Divine Power. You don’t have to overpower the divine Power, you don’t have to order, you don’t have to ask. Just if you meditate you are one with this all-pervading Power, which is another great blessing to us.
Unless and until your Sahasrara is open, all the blessings of the Divine Power cannot come to you, it cannot. Maybe you might get some money, you might get some jobs, you might get this and that. But your own development is only possible when you meditate and your Sahasrara is completely open, and open to truth.
You must meditate
So there are two types of meditation, two types, where one is the meditation where, we can call it the Antarmana, that we meditate inside ourselves. To see for ourselves what's wrong with us, and how we have to correct, what we have to do about it.
And another is Bahirmana, is outside, how we have to live outside.
You have to have a discipline, which is not imposed on you but, very happily, which you have accepted and have imbibed. For any art, say in India, I don't know here, but you have to put yourself into a rigorous training to achieve any height. You cannot haphazardly move about it. You cannot take just easily everything. In Sahaja Yoga there is no Tapascharya, there is no penance for you. It's all blessings, but one should not get lost with those blessings, if you have to really get into yourself in its full depth.
So, for the Antarmana it is important that you all should meditate, morning and evening, every day. Is all right even if you do not brush your teeth, but you must meditate, it’s an important thing. That is the reason I find that in the West people go on catching, again cleaning, again catching. Every time I come…I find somebody is suffering from either… some sort of a conditioning, or say, some sort of a badha; or sometimes it's ego or something. It comes and goes. It is not something that is detached permanently. As we have to take our bath every day, we have to wash ourselves every day, in the same way we have to wash ourselves within.
So, meditation is the Antarmana Tapa, as you can call it. But it's not such a Tapasya even. You don't have to go to Himalayas and sit there. You have to just do this meditation early in the morning.
tapa mfn." consuming by heat ";" causing pain or trouble , distressing "; religious austerity
tapas n. warmth , heat - pain , suffering ; religious austerity , bodily mortification , penance , severe meditation, special observance
Apasya n. ascetism http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/
(…)Now, what is the Tapa - the penance? -that our body is used to some sort of a life. In India also, we are all like that in India: everybody will get up in the morning, and they will sit for puja, or they will sit for meditation. I mean, that goes without saying, you don't have to tell them. Because that's the traditional thing to do in India: always when they get up, have their bath, they always do some puja, all of them. If they're Christians, also, they'll sit down and pray. Muslims, they'll do Namaz. That's a kind of a practice, and the breeding of the family.
Here I find that the parents do not take the responsibility to pass on any information to children about disciplining themselves, because children are also extremely aggressive. They don't want to know about it. So the parents also dare not tell them that.
(…) So now, all of you must develop that dedication to yourself, to find out what your problem is, and how you have to correct it. If it is done every day, I can assure you, you will have no problem of any kind. Your thoughts will stop, your problems will be solved, and you'll have no catches at all, because you've washed them off. But if you leave them on your being, then they grow, and they become big.
So there should be no lethargy, as far as meditation is concerned, but joyfully you'll start doing it. After some time, you won't be happy if you have not done it. But in the beginning you'll have to goad yourself, and tell yourself that this body has to be cleaned; but more than that body, this mind and intellect, both of them, are to be corrected. To be an instrument of God, you have to be perfect, perfect personality, otherwise we may not be able to communicate the message of Sahaja Yoga in the proper way.
(…) I do not know how much I should stress, how much more is needed to stress the importance of meditation every day. Like these advertisements you see, every day they just go on bombarding on your head, and: "Buy this, buy that, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!" It acts. In the same way, you have to every day bombard yourself: "Now, meditation. Get to meditation”.
Then you'll be surprised that, when you all go out, you'll see something beautiful; immediately you'll get into thoughtless awareness. Don't have to do. As soon as you'll meet a Sahaja Yogi, immediately into thoughtless; the other person, you both will go. Everything you start enjoying in a very different manner. And such beautiful feelings come in, such beautiful security is built up that you're surprised: "How I could be like that? How I could feel these securities just expressing themselves in such a beautiful manner?" Because if you are, say, washed and clean - simple thing, everyday life - then before touching everything you are careful that you don't again spoil them. If there's a sari which is dirty, absolutely dirty, then, if there are two spots or hundred spots, makes no difference. But when it is absolutely clean, then even the slightest spot you can get worried, because everybody will see that. In the same way, unless and until you cleanse yourself every day, you will not know what's wrong with you.
I hope you'll pay full attention to what I've said here today, with full attention on your inner being projecting out, like a witness to yourself. (…)
How to get into Meditation. Dollis Hill Ashram, London 1979-11/18:
 | |
| Christmas Puja, Genova, 2010. |
May God bless you all!
Now first, before meditating, in your heart, or, you should see in your heart, and there try to put your Guru in the core of it.
Now first, before meditating, in your heart, or, you should see in your heart, and there try to put your Guru in the core of it.
After establishing in the heart, you must bow to that with full devotion and dedication.
Now whatever you do with your mind, after Realization, is not imagination, because now your mind, your imagination, is itself enlightened. So project yourself in such a way that you humble down at the feet of your Guru and now ask for the necessary temperament needed for meditation, or atmosphere needed for meditation.
Meditation is when you are one with the Divine.
Now if there are thoughts coming in, first you have to say the first Mantra of course, and then watch inside. Also you must say mantra of Ganesha, will help some people.
And then you should watch inside and see for yourself which is the biggest hurdle.
First the thought, now for the thought you have to say the mantra of Nirvichara,
“Om Twameva sakshat Nirvichara sakshat Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi namoh namaha.” You should say it thrice.
Now we come to the hurdle of your ego, because, you see, the thought has stopped now, no doubt, but there’s still a pressure on the head. So if it is ego, you have to say
“Om Twameva sakshat Mahatahamkaara, sakshat Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi namoh namaha.” Say it thrice.
[– mahat means ‘the great’, ahamkara means ‘the ego’]
Now, even now, if you find that ego is still there, then you have to raise your left side to push it back to the right hand side, with your hand. One hand towards the photograph. Push the left side higher and right side lower so the ego and super-ego get the balance. Do it seven times.
Try to feel how you are feeling inside, you see.
Now you raise your Kundalini up on the head and tie it up.
Again raise your Kundalini up on the head and tie it up.
Again raise your Kundalini and tie it up.
Now at the Sahasrara you should say the mantra of Sahasrara thrice.
[Everybody chants the mantra three times.]
Now it’s opened out if you see. Now you can open again your Sahasrara like this. Just take it down again and see that you are stationed there.
Once this has been done then you go into meditation. This is like cleansing, you see. Called it Nyasa. Now, now if you find any other obstruction, you can also say, like, if you have got, say, Mahakali’s problem, you can say that mantra. Clear it and then you sit down for meditation. Any individual thing, you can take it out. Like if you have the ego problem, if you think, then you should start with Mahatahamkara.
It is what you have to find out: What is your problem? Where is the Kundalini stopping? You can feel it within yourself. Some of you may not feel. If you do not feel it, feel it on your fingers. If you are not feeling within yourself then feel it on your fingers, you can feel it.
