Eternal versus the transient: know the difference

"So first thing is to build yourself inside as well as outside, but such a vicious circle I tell you. If you do not go deep into yourself, you cannot also get the outside thing, so it works hand in hand, as soon as you start building yourself inside, you'll be amazed how things will work out, how you'll become dynamic, how you'll become great. But you get involved into things which are very small and transitory. So as I told you before, we are seeking the eternal. So the transitory things are to be only used very temporarily, what we need is not so important. If you can understand this thing clearly, that we still are not free, not detached from all the things we had before Sahaja Yoga and they have become subtler and subtler and subtler. We are still only using Sahaja Yoga for that purpose and not for spreading the light."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - 11 June 1989, extract from Shri Virata Puja talk, Litchfield, Connecticut, USA.

Our Chakras are made of these Essences - the Subtle Movement

To work out many things of that kind we have to be deep people, we have to go much deeper within ourselves to touch our essences; at least, you know very well that all our chakras are made out of these essences, and when we go deep into ourselves what we find, that we can touch the elements very well. But while doing so, actually we move horizontally. When we start moving horizontally, at the core of it we find that there are these essences placed, and these essences then start exciting the essences across. Like in the radio you have seen, there's ether. Now when you speak on one side of the radio, it gets completely manifested in the essence of the ether, and then everybody can hear it. Now when you people just give a bandhan sometimes, you find that you have communicated with another person, but that's only the essence of the ether; we can say, the subtler of the subtlest. People have only gone on to the subtler side, we can say, by science; but you go to the subtler side, and that subtler side gives you all these effects.

Develop your Depth

I am happy that you all were meditating here, and were trying to develop your depth. You all have depth, a very deep personality within yourself. But we have to touch that, that's very important, because you see, we sing, have music, that's a very good thing. We enjoy each other's company, also is very good and that's a nice thing, but we have to enjoy our own company also, by meditating, going within yourself.

"Now, what is the use?" one may ask. "Mother, now we have got Realization, we have a nice life, we are enjoying ourselves, and we are doing so well."
