Karma, Ego and Sins.

Karmas are when you do any work or anything with your right side action. Then the effects of that accumulate within you as an ego because you think you are doing it. Actually, we don't do anything substantial. What we do is a dead work, like we make a chair out of a dead tree. That's all we do. What work we do is an idea we have that we are doing work .... So this myth works as ego ... We think we are doing this work, that work. And this ego thinks that if you have done bad work or good work, we have to suffer.

You see, a tiger doesn't feel that way.If a tiger has to eat, it must kill. It kills the animal, eats it, finished. It doesn't sit down and sulk, "Oh, God, I shouldn't have done it. I should become vegetarian." It doesn't accumulate any,any,any karmas...

But we human beings do. Why? Because we are closed...They are open. Whatever they do, they are not bothered. But we are bothered about what we do because we think "we do"... The so-called karmas are nothing but sins. In a biblical language, we can call it as sins. And they're all sucked in by this powerful Deity of Christ, awakened within us.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 13 May 1984, Brighton UK.

After Sahaja Yoga, your karmas are finished... It can change your fate and all your aspirations are changed. Then you just want to spread Sahaja Yoga and enjoy the company of Sahaja Yogis.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 27 September 2000

To have ego itself, according to the Western culture, is a very great achievement. When a person starts living with their ego, they look stupid. "Ego is the outcome of stupidity." Ego "makes you float in the air and when it bursts you are down on the Earth...you are completely finished."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 21 March 1997

Joy(喜び)

Thankfullness(感謝)
Thankfullness is the way to Joy....there's no other way -
we get everything, but we never thank... judging type we are -
today is the day of thanking; Thankfullness, if you do not have,
you'll never enjoy what you have... whatever you have got ...
whatever God has given you ... out of His Grace ... out of His compassion ...
out of His love. We do not know how to thank Him. ... you see this is the point...
have we thanked Him .... every moment of our life.
When you thank Him, the waves of Joy will rise within you.
The greatest thing He has given us, is Realization... and the way of Sahaja.
Look into your heart, and humble down...and thank.... every moment -
that is the key to start the Joy, out of every moment ...
every moment has an ocean of Joy in it ...
but to start it, you must thank ... whatever you have got.


「感謝」は「喜び」への道です....他の道は無い
- 全てを手に入れたのに, 感謝した事が無い...裁判するタイプだ我々は -
今日は感謝するの日です;
あなたに「感謝」を持てなければ, どんな物を持っていても楽しむ事ができないでしょう,
どんな物を手に入れても... 神があなたにくれたどんな物でも...神の恵..神の慈悲深さ..
神の愛. 私たちは神にどのように感謝すれば良いか分からない...この点を注意してください...
神に感謝したのでしょうか...生きる時の中のどんな時でも..
あなたが神に感謝する時, 「喜び」の波があなたの中に流れるのです.
私たちに神がくれた最も偉大な物は「悟り(realization)」..そして「Sahaja」の道です.
心の中に見て,　そして謙虚に,...そして感謝しなさい....いつ何時でも -
これは「喜び」を始める鍵である、..どんな時からでも.
どんな時でも、その中に喜びの海が存在する..
しかし, それを始めるには...いただいたどんな物に対しても感謝しなさい.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1979

The Laughter(笑い)
When you start seeing through the eyes of the Spirit, then you do not feel bad ...
you laugh at yourself, make fun of yourself ... and then you enjoy yourself,
joke with yourself,.. and the whole thing becomes a joke.

Spirit(精霊)の目を通して見て始めると, あなたは悪い事は感じなくなる..
あなた自身に対して笑いなさい, あなた自身をからかいなさい, ...そしてあなた自身を楽しめてください,
あなた自身を笑ってください...そうすれば全てがお笑いのようになる.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, at London 1980

Learn to laugh at yourself .. that is the best way to enjoy yourself.
自分自身に笑う事を習いなさい...それは自分自身を楽しめる最も良い方法です.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, at Cabella-Italy1997

In laughter ... in all playful things ... lies the truth.
笑いの中に..全ての冗談(遊び）の中に...真実がある.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, at Caxton Hall 1980

Spirit and Kundalini Awakening(精霊とクンダリニの目覚め）
When your attention goes to the Spirit, joy starts bubbling in your life.
No mental activity can take you there - only by Kundalini Awakening is it
possible.
Spirit（精霊）に注意が向けると, あなたの人生の中が喜びで満ちあふれ始める.
どんな頭で行う事でもそこにはあなたを連れていく事はできない- クンダリニの目覚めにだけ
可能です.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, at Delhi 1998

Sensitivity(敏感さ)
So far you see, at human level, one feels only the pains or pressures
on the nerves ... but never the Ananda. But after Realization only,
your nerves start feeling the joy.
今まで見たどおり, 人間の段階では, 神経に痛みや圧迫だけが感じられる..
しかしAnanda（絶対的な喜び)は感じた事が無い.
Realization(悟り)を得てからだけ, 神経が「喜び」を感じる事ができる.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, at Vienna 1985

The Source(源)
Is only possible with innocence, the source of all Joy.
純真だけが可能である, 全ての喜びの源.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, at Cabella-Italy1996

Collectivity in Sahaja Yoga

Importance of Meditating collectively

When you collect together... something happens to you... if you sit at home, and do something ... nothing works out much. Anywhere when there are people sitting together in meditation, Sahaja Yoga itself manifests... because it is a collective phenomena. There is a mathematics about it... and Sahaja Yoga works out after actually there are more than seven people.

on talk about "attention", Bordi

When a person is collective or not collective

... who tries to find fault with someone all the time... who wants to run away, with his wife or with his hudband... and stay somewhere else.. who wants to get out ... is not a person who is collective. You have to be collective...and to be collective means ... at every collective program you should be there... you should always meet collectively... meditate collectively ... and find ways and methods of being collectively.

on Shri Khrisna Puja, Lac Noir

The Meaning of Collectivity

… Collectivity doesn’t mean that we all should be stuck together with some glue or something or we all become like Gibraltar, Rock of Gibraltar. No, it doesn’t mean that. It means wherever you are, you are connected. That is collectivity.

A collective doesn’t mean that you hate that person. No, your connective means you love that person, you’re concerned about that person. The connection, the connecting line is of love and not of hatred. So when you are connected with another person or persons, then you are in collectivity. But people will live together and everyday break each others’ heads. Some of them really give Me headaches, I tell you, sometimes because they are nowhere near the real growth of Sahaja Yoga.

So you may be in America, you may be in India, you may be anywhere. You are just connected. And you are concerned.

As soon as there’s a problem somewhere, into any part, any part, of the world, you are connected and you’re effective, you can manage. But if you are not connected and you are just glued together, it’s very inconvenient to live under such circumstances.

I think people don’t even understand the meaning of collectivity where there’s not the other, ananya (Sanskrit –> no other), where there’s not the other. There’s no other personality. These personalities are separated from you because of left and right or could be both. But you are yourself fully when you’re absolutely detached and your kundalini’s dancing. You’re alone and never alone.

This oneness with the whole gives you all the security that you want, all the joy you want and that’s why Kundalini Awakening means collectivity. Unless and until you want pure collectivity in your being, Kundalini won’t rise. …

Spirit is the Collective Being

The Spirit is the collective being, is absolutely one with the collective.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

I am a lamb and Lord is my Shepherd

Little lamb, who made thee?
Does thou know who made thee,

Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o’er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?

Little lamb, who made thee?
Does thou know who made thee?

Little lamb, I’ll tell thee;
Little lamb, I’ll tell thee:

He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild,
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name.

Little lamb, God bless thee!
Little lamb, God bless thee!

from "Songs of Innocence: The Lamb" - William Blake

The Lord is my shepherd; how can I lack anything?
He gives me a resting-place where there is pasture,
and leads me out by cool waters,
to make me live a new.

As in honour pledged, by sure paths he leads me;
what though I walk with the shadow of death all around me?
Hurt I fear none, while thou art with me;
thy rod, thy crook are my comfort.

What though my enemies trouble me?
Full in their view thou does spread a banquet before me;
richly thou dost anoint my head with oil,
generous the cup that steals away my senses!

All my life thy goodnesss pursues me;
through the long years,
the Lord's house shall be my dwelling-place.

Psalm:23 - Knox's translation

Namaskar

"namaskar" originally comes from sanskrit language, and is derived from three words:

namah + om + kar = namaskar

• "namah" is actually derived from "na" and "ma". In sanskrit, "na" reflects a simple negation , and "ma" points to ego, referring "I" or "my". Thus, "nama" or "namah" literally means NOT ME or a negation to one's identity or one's ego or arrogance. The meaning "namah" can also be taken as bending, bowing, humbly submitting and becoming silent.
• "om" is the short form of "AUM", the primordial sound. It is believed that the whole universe/cosmos is generated from one primordial sound or word (see Upanishads from Hiduism and John 1:1 in New Testament).
• "kar" means "shape/form of" or "manifestation of" . Thus, "omkar" means manifestation of "om", that is the WHOLE universe/cosmos.
  
  

“Before typing you just say ‘namaskar’ to that work that you have to do, just like that. And then you start doing the work as if you are not doing it. You are just doing it - typing. You are just typing, that’s all. You’re not doing it. You’re not doing anything. Some people say, ‘Mother, you travel so much.’ I never travel. I’m sitting or I’m walking. Where do I travel? It is the plane that travels. I’m just sitting in the plane. I never travel like a Superman. I am sitting very nicely. Where do I travel? If I Start thinking, ‘I travel very much, I do this work, I do that work, “somebody would say, ‘Mother, you do so much work.’ I mean I don’t do anything. I tell you, really, I don’t do anything.“

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Hamsa Puja 1991
