Why is kundalini awakening instantaneous? Can human evolution be accelerated suddenly?

"We have to understand how this happening takes place by giving you a simile of a spacecraft. Now the spacecraft as you know has got many, what you call, containers set in each other like a telescope. Spacecraft has got many containers fitted into each other like a telescope. So the whole stuff first flies out or goes out towards the space with a certain velocity. The whole of the machinery goes towards the space with a certain velocity, to a point, first, with certain velocity. Now when the first container explodes, the rest of it is triggered with a much higher velocity, say if it the first is V, it is V raised to the power, say, X. Then the second one explodes and the third one explodes and the fourth one explodes. Maybe the velocity now becomes V raised to power 100 or VX raised to power 100. At the last stage, the last container explodes and releases the spacecraft into the space. In the same way, your evolution takes place. It is all built in the seed. It is all built in your seed, in the seed. Like the seed has the complete tree and all the trees that are going to follow, in the same way from the matter you start growing into human level. It is very difficult for the biologist to explain how in this such a short time, a man is created out of a small, little amoeba. If you apply the law of chance, it is an impossibility."

What is a good posture for meditation?

"Please sit very comfortably that's very important. There should be no strain on a particular part of the body, for example when you are sitting sometimes your feet might feel little bit numbed down you can change the posture you need not carry on with any extreme effort or any discomfort to yourself, that's first thing you must remember. Moreover some of the people go into tense postures also by stretching their hands too straight or sometimes going very straight or pushing their head behind, sometimes they bend their heads also bit too much also, sit very comfortably with both the hands on your lap in a very comfortable way, there should be nothing extreme to be done from outside."

Shri Mataji on Margaret Thatcher

The other day I was with Mrs. Thatcher. Poor thing, she was so miserable. Yes, she was! You know I tried to sort of put her down, her vibrations. She was very miserable. We were just across the table talking to each other. And what I was doing was to balance her - poor thing, she was very, she's very upset.

I don't want to frighten you like Mrs.Thatcher does about Russians. That might be imaginary.

Certain good things she is saying like self-restrain and all that. Those things, she's talking good things. But what about herself following this?
