“The abode of Shiva is above everything.”
…two things are connected with each other as, Sun is with sun light, word with its meaning, Moon with Moon light. Meaning that the `Sopan Marga’ which has been created, which we, call as sushumna nadi, which is centralpath, is the path of Lord Vishnu. And through this path we attain the Shiva Tattva.
So Shiva Tattva is the destination to Shiva, and the path is made by Lord Vishnu. To create this path Vishnuji, and Adishakti have taken efforts. Lord Shiva has no role in it: He sits comfortably in his Seat, not bothering about anyone who comes or does’nt come. So, to attain this Shiv Tattva, we should go through this Vishnu Path (Sushumna Path) And for that, the several chakras (centres) that are present, have to be corrected first. When the centers are cleansed, our Vishnu path opens up. And along with that, we gradually start ascending. I have told about all these centers, many a times. But, there is a center in Heart also, which we call `Left Heart’. This is not the chakra of the heart, It is just that, the heart, which, reflects the reflection of Mahadeva. The abode of Shiva is above everything, Beyond the mind, beyond the thoughts. To attain this kind of tatva (principle), first and foremost we should pay attention, to see how pure our heart is. Inside our heart, we give place to many evil thoughts. For example, we feel jeolous of someone. feeling jeolous, in the sense, if sombody has been evil to you, might have harmed you also, troubled you, But there is no use becoming jeolous of them. If your heart is pure then the mirror in which, The God almighty’s reflection is going to fall, will be very clear. But if you are full of jealousy, then the mirror will not remain clean and the reflection of will also not be perfect.
To have enmity towards anyone, And towards anyone to have in the heart, any kind of miserable thoughts or ill feeling, is very wrong that is why, Christ has said that forgive everyone. To forgive is extremely important and, before and after Christ, many saints have said the same thing that forgive everybody. The moment you forgive, immediately Lord Shiva, takes the situation in his hands. The Subtlest power of all, is that of shri mahadev. And He, then completely punishes him, totally punishes him. This is the work of Lord Mahadev, not yours. ..
Second thing is,… if a person’s heart gets obsessed with money He becomes useless for SahajaYoga. Because his heart is covered with materialism. If any kind of, any kind of materialism has enveloped your heart, then it is very difficult for you to ascend….
The third thing is the negativity within us, which we call as six enemies (shad ripu), Shri Krishna has laid emphasis on krodha- anger is the worst thing. everything emanates from anger. A person shows anger initially, then he gets infatuated. then he thinks “why I said all that, I should not have said” this and that. But he goes out of self-control, when he gets angry. In the fit of anger he loses his control over himself. he goes out of self-control and blurts-out all the dirt, which are meaningless. the dirt he has been accumalating since long in his heart, comes out of his mouth. We have to beware of this krodha Why does this anger come? we should pay attention towards this, that why do we get angry? …
…in your individual life In Sahaja Yoga you have to follow only Lord Shiva. Because, if you don’t follow Him, firstly, You will get heart problems. The first thing will be heart desease. It works out in two ways. Firstly with excessive anger the heart catches, and secondly, after the anger if a person repents, then you get the disease of `Angina’. This is how both the things are useless. …
no one is as loving as ShivJi. This source of love which is flowing today all around, is emanating from His Holy feet. It is because of Him, this work is happening. that human beings are bathing in the ocean of love in Sahaja Yoga. In Sahaja Yoga after Self-realization, when you attain that state, then you, the state of say Jiva Atma, or your, attention, your attention gets engrossed in the lotus feet of Shiv Ji. And as soon as it gets engrossed in Shiv Ji’s lotus feet, what happens is within you, whatever qualities aaaa of five elements are there, they also become very subtle.
Already, I have told you about the the four elements, but the fifth one, which is called ‘Ether’ in English, I didn’t tell about that, here it is called akash tatva. Akash tatva is that, when a seeker attains the subtle state, then he attains the Subtlety of Ether element. That akash which is etherial, that akash, need not be activated also. If a person has any problem or any trouble, then through this all pervading power, of akash tatva, which is omnipresent, Your attention immediately reaches, where it is required. It is an amazing thing, but it happens and happened also. people may call it miracle, but it is not so. In Sahaja Yoga if your Shiva tatva is awakened, then all the subtle qualities, the subtlest of the subtle quality, the emotions and the state within you gets awakened. Therefore it is necessary for us to, first of all purify our heart. Now, so far I have talked to you, about three enemies. Now, the fourth enemy present within us is madha. Madha means “Ego”. ..
