Excerpt of a talk by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Original talk: Excerpt highlighted the app: “Every Day with Shri Mataji” for Android ___________________________ But we can say one thing, that, at least from my experience, I feel that in the beginning, whatever starts in a small way, in a struggling way, really is embedding itself nicely into the Mother Earth. And is a very good sign, because that’s the way, it always works out better. Whatever is frivolous, or whatever is cheapish, or which spreads out without much difficulties is of no use. It’s like a grass – anybody can take it away. So the embedment and all that, has to go inside. As you are shaking it nicely to go inside. And that’s what it is, where you should be very happy, that it is working out that way. Somebody has come? Let him come in. Come along now! Yes. So the beginning of Sahaj Yoga may look to be little shaky, may look to be little feeble but it is not: it is getting stronger and stronger, and it is getting embedded into the Mother Earth. And that is what is the test of you being the real seekers, you being the people who want truth; who do not want a big show, a big community sitting there all going mad with some sort of a shouting, screaming and nonsense. As it is you know, Sahaj Yoga, is a living process. And it grows both ways: upwards and downwards. In the beginning it grows more downwards. And in the downwards process, we have to depend on our vibrations very much. We must all the time remember that we are realised-souls, that we have got vibrations. This is the way we have to judge. This is the way we have to understand. The vibration is the only way that we’ll know others; not by something [like] you will feel that the person looks very sweet and nice and a snake may come out of that person. So best is, to judge a person through vibrations. Judge everything through vibrations, not through your own understanding or superficial methods of judging others. Now, there are also so many conditionings we have got, by which we judge others. And these conditionings can also bias our judgment. So best way is to see the vibrations. Through vibrations you will have the real knowledge about what is happening. Now many people, in the beginning, also start misguiding. So best is to develop your vibrations. For that you have to grow inward first of all. If you grow inward, deeply, then what will happen is that outward growth will be very solid and would be exact. You won’t have any problems with that. But if you do not grow inward, if you do not meditate and pay attention to it… And I would say, it is more the dedication that you have, that works out so well that you grow upward so well. I mean you can give a speech whenever you want about Sahaj Yoga, you can give Realisation to people whenever you want, you can cure people whenever you want, but first there should be a depth in you. If you have not achieved that, you just start superficially doing something. Then maybe you are hit or maybe you are in trouble or maybe you may start doubting yourself; maybe Sahaj Yoga too. So the first thing is for us to grow deeply. And while we are growing deeply, we have to also grow in such a manner that we understand our vibrations clearly. Now see a root of a little plant has a got a very small little cell at the base of it. And the plant doesn’t know anything as much as that little cell knows, because it is going inside by its own intelligence, its own vibrations. Now if it finds a stone it doesn’t go and quarrel. So don’t fight with the people who are stonies. Just don’t argue with them. You cannot make them understand. It’s not possible. They have to be seekers and soft like the soft clay through which this little cell goes, penetrates. Then it finds, supposing, it finds a big stone. Then what, it goes round and round and round. So gives it a bandhan nicely! And goes down. Later on when it becomes a tree, he uses the stone for its support. So in the same way, you can go round and round and round somebody like that. But giving just bandhan without saying anything – in your heart. Not saying, arguing with him anything. Because you’ll break your head, but he will never be alright. So best is not to argue with him. But just give him bandhan in your heart and somehow bind it. So that later on he will become Sahaj Yogi. But [meanwhile] will be a big support to us, because he’s such a stone. Just now, use soft people, people who are easy people, people who are seekers, who are not so complicated.
