Sahaja
Yoga
"True
and lasting solution to present ills can be found
only by inner, collective transformation of human
beings." (pg 2 Meta Modern Era)
"Sahaja Yoga is the spontaneous union of the
individual consciousness with the All-Pervading Divine
Power..." (pg 6 Meta Modern Era)
"This knowledge is not then for very few privileged
individuals, as it was in the past, but for the benefit
of the whole world. In this way the last breakthrough
of our evolution will be achieved en masse. The entire
human race can be renewed and transformed. Dharma,
righteousness, will once again be universally respected,
and human beings will live in peace, harmoniously
with themselves, with nature, and with each other."
(pg 9 Meta Modern Era)
"..the self-knowledge that I am talking about
is concrete, verifiable and is tangible like science
itself and completely understandable in rational terms."
(pg. 27 Meta Modern Era)
The
Kundalini
She describes the kundalini power as "..that
innate energy which is always pushing us to seek something
higher and so gives human beings their ascent.."
The
Spirit
"The
truth which can be actualized after Self-Realisation
is that you are not this body, this mind, this conditioning
from the past, this ego, these emotions, but that
you are the Pure Spirit." (pg. 15 Meta Modern
Era)
"Only after Self-Realisation, and only then,
is there a direct experience of the Spirit. It then
manifests its powers in the human personality, and
it's light enlightens the consciousness into a new
awareness. The divine intelligence of the Spirit radiates
on all sides." (pg. 32 Meta Modern Era)
"The Spirit is like the firm axis at the very
centre of a wheel. If our attention reaches the immovable
firm axis at the very centre of the wheel of our existence
(which is constantly moving), we beome enlightened
by the Spirit, the source of inner peace,and reach
a state of complete calm and self-knowledge."
(pg. 33 Meta Modern Era)
Religions
"After
Self-Realisation it is easy to perceive the truth
that all these religions were born on the same tree
of spirituality, but that those in charge of each
religion plucked the flowers from the living source
and are now fighting each other with the dead flowers
of merely partial truths." (pg. 11 Meta Modern
Era)
On the feminine aspect of the Divine: "It is
one of the main teachings of the profound traditional
wisdom of India, that the Primordial Mother is the
origin of all things and everything tends to flow
naturally back towards Her." (pg. 32 Meta Modern
Era)
The
Present Age
"Yugas
are periods of time, thousands of years long, that
recur in a cyclic or spiral progression. Dwapara Yuga
is the second age, when people begin to lose some
of the great qualities they had in the first or Golden
Age, and Kali Yuga (modern times) marks the lowest
point of moral and spiritual development in each cycle.
It is followed by Krita Yuga [the present age], the
age of transformation or actualization of spiritual
experience, which leads finally to Satya Yuga, the
age of truth or reality, in which the Golden Age returns
and all man's faculties begin to manifest themselves
in their full glory once again." (pg 5 Meta Modern
Era)
On the darkness that is still prevalent in modern
times: "..what impresses one is not a simple
and unassuming statement of the truth, but superficial
showmanship and display." (pg 28 Meta Modern
Era)
During Krita Yuga Shri Mataji says: "All false
prophets and cult leaders will be exposed and all
organisations that perpetrate falsehood and hatred
in the name of God will also be exposed because in
Krita Yuga, the truth is spontaneously brought out."
(pg 6 Meta Modern Era)
"These are the times described in the Holy Bible
as the "Last Judgement" and in the Koran
as "Kiyama", the Resurrection time. Astrologically
it is also called the Age of Aquarius, the time of
rebirth and of great spiritual development on the
Earth." (pg 8 Meta Modern Era)
"...this is also the age of science and technology
in which human beings have progressed beyond the stage
of blind faith..." (pg 8 Meta Modern Era)
Faith
"...one
need not, and should not, believe blindfolded in whatever
is said about ascent or salvation, but should treat
it like a hypothesis, and observe the facts with an
open mind like a scientist." (pg 8 Meta Modern
Era)
"In the unspoilt state of innocent childhood,
practically every human being has a natural and direct
feeling for the existence of God Almighty. But as
time passes, this faith may be deflected and people
start believing in other powers - political, economic
or social." (pg 10 Meta Modern Era)
"Pure faith in the benevolece of the Divine can
also degenerate into destructive forms of religion
like othodoxy, fundamentalism, sectarianism, fanaticism,
black magic and witchcraft." (pg 10 Meta Modern
Era)
Rationality
On the possible dangers of rationality: "..if
the beginning of the thought or theory is not rooted
in reality, the end or the final results of such a
thought or theory could well be disastrous in practice."
(pg. 30 Meta Modern Era)
On
the West
"In
the West, people pride themselves on being the defenders
of democratic rights and the champions of freedom.
But if the Western world really cares for the benevolence
of the whole world, it will have to turn to introspection."
(pg. 14 Meta Modern Era)
