It is so simple it is unbelievable. “Everything that is important has to be very simple. Suppose you had to make an effort to read books in order to learn the technique of breathing…..you could not have existed.”
The preceding pages of human evolution followed one another without the awareness of man, but now, Shri Mataji says, “the evolution from the human stage onward will take place in a human style, that is, with awareness. You will become conscious of the happening and manifestation of the evolutionary process. An egg does not know how it becomes a bird but human beings have to know and feel their evolution as Sahaja yogis.”
What does Shri Mataji mean by a “human style”?
In the field of scientific investigation, any great discovery appears to be a revelation from the universal unconscious to a specific researcher. The discovery is then broadcast for the benefit of the entire human community. Then comes the elaboration and culmination of the process. Take for instance, electricity. The laws, properties and application of electrical energy manifested as soon as human beings started using the discovery. Sahaja Yoga proceeds along the same lines.
One should remember that any discovery is prepared by a succession of stages, an ascent in knowledge. Similarly, in Sahaja Yoga we relate this culminating step of our spiritual ascent to all the previous ones, to all the discoverers who brought forth this last jump into collective consciousness. When we enter into this new consciousness we start using the new techniques, properties and applications of the discovered energy. We can thus directly relate to the previous discoverers which are the focal centers of a human personality and exist as deities in the various centers of the spinal chord. These deities are the organizers who orchestrate the patterns of living matter, bodily processes and psychic happenings that make up a functional human being.
After mastering Sahaja Yoga one develops techniques to handle the new vibratory awareness.
The deities on the central evolutionary path (sushumna) can really be contacted by chanting their names. When we take the name of the specific deity (mantra) we feel the vibrations indicating a reaction at the corresponding place in the body. When a chakra is constricted, the Kundalini is checked in Her ascent and one can sometimes see Her with the naked eye, pulsating in the center concerned. By taking the name of the deity that controls that particular chakra the obstacle can be removed. We become participants in God’s cosmic plan.
All that is taking place now has been prophesied by the scriptures of different religions. Sahaja Yoga manifests this breakthrough onto the new evolutionary plane for which the human race has been waiting. This knowledge has come to us through the universal unconscious. Now is the time to broadcast it. The beauty of Sahaja Yoga blossoms in en masse realization. The individual yogi (microcosm) spreads to the society (macrocosm) the knowledge of the great cosmic being: The Virata. That is the revelation that explains, integrates and fulfills all the previous revelations. It is the fulfillment of the social contract between God and his creation, Man.
Twenty years ago, a scholar was writing about Sahaja:
“It is in identity of enjoyment, in the inexpressible experience of unity that one reached the state of Sahaja, of non conditioned existence, of pure spontaneity. All these terms are, of course, difficult to translate. Each of them attempts to express the paradoxical state of absolute non duality (advaya) that issues in mahasukha, the Great Bliss”*
