Daily Meditation Course – January 2023

We are not this mind, this body, and these emotions. Beyond the material world that surrounds us, we are something much higher, more subtle. With Sahaja Yoga meditation, find your true self and know who you really are.

“The time has come for all of you to get your Self-Realisation, by which your attention becomes enlightened, your health gets completely all right, your mental processes are sensible, but above all you stand in your present.” Shri Mataji – founder

Meditation is the only way you can grow because when you meditate, you are in silence, you are in thoughtless awareness and then the growth of awareness takes place.

“Self-Realisation makes us humble, replaces temper with compassion. The more innocent you are, the more blissful you will be.” Shri Mataji – founder

Secret of happiness in life lies in finding the balance and practicing it. Learn how you can keep your inner being in state of balance with simple daily practice.

“If a person doesn’t have a balance, then he cannot achieve his ascent.” Shri Mataji – founder.

There are three energy channels in our subtle system – left, right and centre. We will learn about the qualities of each channel, and how to balance them so that we can be in the balance, in the present moment, and on the path to our ascent.

“My simple message is that you have to seek yourself, you must know yourself.” Shri Mataji – founder.

First step towards solving any problem is acknowledging it and then identifying the root cause.

“We do not know our potential, our beauty, but once this connection with the mains is established you will be surprised at the results and the dynamism.” Shri Mataji – founder.

The human body, just like the entire universe, is made up of the five elements earth, water, fire, ether and air. In this session, we will use these elements to deepen our Meditation state.

“Within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There is an ocean of all that. We cannot seek it outside, we have to go within.” Shri Mataji – founder.

For a building to be tall, foundation must be strong. Learn how to establish your foundation in the journey of meditation, to make the inner pillars strong and stable.

“Freedom is when you really get your own powers which are within you.” Shri Mataji – founder.

We will steady our attention and learn to identify and clear out the imbalances affecting our subtle being. Gradually, we’ll go deeper in our silence, and inner bliss.

“In the present the eternal stays, the rest all drops out.” Shri Mataji – founder.

Wisdom can only come through honest introspection.

“Wisdom is a thing that gives you, first of all, complete peace. If your wisdom is developed then you become very peaceful because whatever people may say, whatever they may do, whatever aggression they may do, whatever it is, you are peaceful.” Shri Mataji – founder.

Meditation opens up the collective unconscious, offering life the potential for creative action and art that is immersed in the love of the Spirit.

“If you want to be positive, it is very easy and for that you should see where your attention is. Are you only seeing problems or are you seeing some fun in it?” Shri Mataji – founder.

A seed cannot sprout if it does not establish peace with nature around. What stops us from not establishing peace with others and most importantly with ourselves?

“When we are not realized, we are moving on the periphery, like a wheel and we are disturbed. But a realized soul is on the axis, which is silent. So, he has the peace within himself.” Shri Mataji – founder.

We cannot live without air but is air just for living or it is something which works to nurture our inner being as well.

“As soon as you open your heart, you will widen yourself, you will grow.” Shri Mataji – founder.

Beyond seeing and understanding the truth is, becoming the truth. When we become one with the whole, it is the first time we truly enjoy the principle of collectivity.

“We are all part and parcel of one country, and that country is of love.” Shri Mataji – founder.

There is constant fight between ego and superego, which doesn’t let us move on. Fighting the battle just makes it more difficult.

“Colossal ego can only be conquered by forgiving others.” Shri Mataji – founder.

With opening of Sahasrara there is complete integration within us and there is no more conflict between mind and heart.

“People are lost because they have no knowledge. Knowledge from the books is no knowledge. Their knowledge must come from within, from within themselves and that has happened because of Sahasrara opening.” Shri Mataji – founder.

Sound waves can carry vibrations, and sounds with the right vibrations, can soothe our inner energy centres.

“Music is very important for Sahaja yoga as you know that, through music the vibrations spread very well, and one can go very deep into your own meditation through music.” Shri Mataji – founder.

Truth cannot be sold nor bought, can only be experienced.

“Until you are able to understand the meaning of the “Self”, the physical body would remain imperfect and would be unable to verify the Truth. But once the physical instrument is connected with Truth, you are able to verify the Truth.” Shri Mataji – founder.

The seventh energy center within us which has thousand petals is also known as the Sahasrara Chakra, which lies on the top of our head. When Mother Kundalini reaches Sahasrara the lotus petals open and enlightenment (samadhi) takes place. You may feel a powerful pulsation in the crown of the head, followed by a melting sensation and a flow of cool vibrations from the fontanele bone area. This is the real baptism by which you know you are truly born again.

‘So in Sahasrara, you must know what powers are there. There are one thousand powers, one thousand powers within you which are being enlightened. If you can understand that, then you will understand what is the use of having ego because you have such a lot of powers within you, which you have not utilized. We should use, but because of ego you cannot. With love you can. With love you can manage and you can do a lot.’ – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder)

In the Sahasrara, the whole instrument is integrated. Each chakra has its place here. Only now do we go beyond the relative, above the three gunas (channels), and into the absolute realisation of heaven on earth.

‘The Essence of Sahasrara is Integration.’ – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder)
