1987-11-16 Time of Transformation

“So this is the time of our transformation. We have to become a higher personality; the transformation has to take place.” Excerpt from a talk by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Place and Date: London (UK) 1987 Nov. 16th. _______________________ We cannot enjoy anything in life, really we cannot. We can see the way people are now going on for such sensational things. The reason is there’s no joy. The sensitivity to joy is so reduced that I sometimes fear with all that they are doing they so fed up, that they may have to put electrodes in the limbic area to get the joy instead. They have become so very (Shri Mataji smiles) so very insensitive to anything, they’ll not laugh, they’ll not smile, they are so full of closed hearts and frightened things, whatever they said about human beings. Now first thing you have to know – you don’t have to suffer at all. Secondly, you don’t have to judge yourself. Let your Kundalini rise and judge you. You don’t start judging yourself and condemning yourself. And the another fashion, which is very common, is to feel guilty. From the very beginning you start, “I am afraid”. What are you afraid of? You have to have all the courage, all the blessings, and all the confidence. You are a human being and this is the message I want to tell you that you are a human being and you have to be the Spirit. And once you are the Spirit you’ll be surprised the blessings will be showering upon you. In these modern times should talk about these things is out of date. But it is predicted that this will be said and this will be done. For us it is important first of all to know our own glory, our own truths, and about how we are built and how others are built. Once you know that first of all the peace within is established. [...] So this is the time of our transformation. We have to become a higher personality; the transformation has to take place. At the time of Easter we give people eggs. Perhaps people do not know why do we give them eggs at the time of Easter. But about Christ is written in our Scriptures that He was an egg to begin with. Of course, He was much more before that, but to begin with He was the God of innocence. But then He came as an egg. And then He was divided into two halves. The one half, which incarnated, and which transformed this Earth. So the resurrection is the transformation. Like an egg, if we are bound by our conditioning and by our ego, we break through that shell and become a bird, which is really a free bird. Only thing, the bird has to know how to fly. Now this is, again I’m saying is the living process of the living nature, of the living Power of Love. It is not something artificial. In Sahaja Yoga, I must have spoken in this hall I don’t know how many times might before and again today there’s a chance to speak to you. What I have to say, that it is important the becoming. Is not important: you cannot become a member of Sahaj Yog, you cannot pay membership, you cannot pay for your Realisation. How can you pay? How much do we pay to the Mother Earth to sprout the seed, does She understand? Because She has the power She sprouts the seed. If you give Her money or read something before Her, it makes no difference. But once you get your Realisation you start understanding how many powers you have. And the greatest power is of compassion and detached love. [...] Of course, there’s a lot of things that should really make you more tempting about it. Firstly, that you get rid of all your illnesses. Most of the illnesses can be cured – if they are at an early stage – by Sahaja Yoga. Most of the mental illnesses can be cured with Sahaja Yoga. Your material problems can be solved by Sahaja Yoga. Your spiritual problems like going to wrong gurus and wrong people whatever you have accumulated within you can be corrected. But the highest of all that you become sensitive to joy. Then you start seeing joy in everything. You don’t have to think that, “Oh, this is the thing which is marvellous”. No. It just happens, you see it is. Just you enjoy without thinking about it. You become a peaceful personality. You become a dynamic personality. Your are not spade by other veils of things, like some fashion coming up, then some sort of a nonsensical idea coming up, then some medicine coming up and you treating yourself and getting to trouble. You just rise above all the these things at a higher level and and you start see everything as a witness. You become the witness of all the jokes that are going on and you just watch it and you think, “What’s all this? Is just a play”. Many people have said that, “Mother, You always laugh so much and You have always smiling face, so the people are not going to take You seriously”. I said, “I don’t want them to be serious”. There’s not going to be any seriousness needed. What are you serious about? You should be happy. It’s fun. We have to be happy people. [...]
