There are different stages in the evolution of the human awareness.
The stage where most human beings are is the stage where we identify
ourselves with the mind and the body. In this stage we try to control and act
on ourselves and on the world thinking that we are the doers of our actions. We
are not able to realize that there is an all-pervading energy all around us
that is doing everything. In this situation we suffer when we don't achieve
what we expect and we worry and feel fear if we don't get what we think we
need. This is a very limited stage where the mind has taken over our being and
all the time is producing different kinds of thoughts to make us act
according to that.
In modern times there is another stage that we call self-realisation
in which we achieve the awakening of our spiritual energy
"Kundalini", through which we start experiencing the next stage of
evolution that is called nirvichara Samadhi or thoughtless awareness. In this
stage we get the experience of being without any thoughts and then we start
realising that we are not the mind. But still in this stage this realisation is
not complete and sometimes we identify ourselves again with our mind and
conditioning so that the suffering still remain. Because of that in this stage
we can go down again to the previous stage.
What is actually happening in the subtle system is that in this new
stage the Kundalini has started moving in the central channel (sushumna nadi) through
which we get the experience of our real being. But as this channel is still not
purify and is very narrow, our Kundalini again go back to the left and right
channels that are wider and then again the mind and the conditioning take over
our being. Then again we suffer, worry and feel fear.
Once nirvichara Samadhi is settled down and the central channel is purify
and made wider, we start the next stage of the human evolution which is called
nirvikalpa Samadhi or doubtless awareness. In this stage the energy Kundalini
is flowing continuously and steadily in the central channel giving us the new
experience of continuous joy and peace. At that point the sufferings are finish
once for ever. Then we achieve a new experience in the meditation where every
single meditation becomes very deep in the sense that in every meditation we
are able to achieve a deep state of thoughtless awareness and the feeling of
joy becomes very intense.
The meditation we do at that point has very strong results as we are finally
able to reach the depth of our soul. Then whenever we fix the attention in
any chakra that chakra gets purified and we achieve the subtle knowledge of that
chakra, which is beyond words but more like a feeling of divine love and
reverence. What a wonderful experience!
This could be the reason why in our Mother's talk of Gauri Puja 1991 in Australia (See
and extract of that video here) She mentioned that the sahaja yogis aren't
getting the deep experiences of the olden yogis because they don't meditate. I
was wondering why Mother was saying that we are not meditating when we were
doing for 10, 20 or even more years. But yes the question is that we weren't
reaching that state of deep meditation where everything works out in a
different manner. In that deep meditation one single minute could be more
efficient than months of superficial meditation in the previous state. Because
of that in every meditation one is able to achieve a new jewellery to decorate
the divine temple that is the soul. Then this jewellery is shining eternally
showing the beauty of the divine spirit inside the soul.
This is another aspect of this marvellous state. In this state when we
achieve some experience, this remains eternally with us, always in our
awareness and in every cell of our being. This means that every experience that
we get in the meditation changes us forever. In the previous stage we used to
achieve a nice experience in the meditation but after sometime we just
lost it and forget about it.This won't happen in the stage of nirvikalpa Samadhi.
But it is important to understand that every stage, either it is nirvichara,
nirvikalpa or the last stage of God's realization, these are happening in a very
smooth and progressive way like everything that happens in the nature. Actually
the last part of a state is mixing with the beginning of the next stage so
that when we are settling down properly in nirvichara, the beginning of nirvikalpa
starts and when nirvikalpa is settled down the God's realisation state is starting.
All this despite the fact there is a big jump between nirvikalpa and the previous
stages. After all this is just the starting of the real spirituality and the end of
the limitations and suffering. That is the reason by which many yogis believe
that this stage is far away from us. We have tried and tried, meditated and
meditated but we weren't able to achieve the permanent and eternal joy and
peace.
This stage is real, is achievable and is just one jump towards our real goal. But
it is important to understand that to make that jump you need the help of
someone who is at that stage. This is how the spiritual growth has always worked. See
this video of Mother were she explain about it. This is what a sahaja
yogi has to achieve and share. This is our real goal.
But the real question is: Are we ready to accept that help? Are
we hankering for that help? Can we be humble enough to get it? Are we ready to
accept the Divinity inside the humanity? Will we be able to accept that another
sahaja yogi has reached that state? Or are we going to try to destroy them as
other religions have done before?
No criticism can be positive. They always promote hatred and negative
feelings instead of the enlightenment of the soul to see the Divinity in
others. Mother has said it more than a thousand times, have we got that message
of her?
We have one instrument that other generations didn't have VIBRATIONS!
The vibrations will guide us towards that help and Our Divine Mother will
surely provide the help needed. The vibrations don't lie. In the Sahasrara puja
86 in Alpe Motta she mentioned it: "Now, for example, you take
somebody's name, say of some great saint. You feel the vibrations are flowing.
Also you know why - because he is a saint. But why not you the Sahaja Yogis? If
your names are taken, why don't the vibrations flow? And in this you have greater
advantages because the Adi Shakti, Herself, is before you. They didn't have
anybody to tell them all these things. But the disadvantage of that is this:
that you take it for granted".You can see the video here.
Anyhow there is no fix rule to the growth in spirituality and someone may
not need that help. It would be great if that is our case? But don't condemn
others for that. Let the Divinity spread all around and don't be afraid if
others are feeling something different from you. It's just the love, love and
only love...
Sahaja Yoga is the divine gift of her holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi to humanity. Through the awakening of the Goddess Kundalini in the spinal cord human beings get the enlightenment of the soul. This process has different stages but it is only when we have achieved the state of nirvikalpa that the enlightenment is really done. Before that we are just in the middle of the process and there is chance of losing it at any time. Hope this blog will be help you to achieve that state.
