While you are meditating, go into thoughtless awareness

Have faith that the Divine will give you the light, will guide
your
path, will take you to the right place, to do the right
thing....
We are collective, we are nice to each other, we don't tell
lies, we
don't try to destroy anyone. That means we are much above
human
failings and this is only because of the light. You can see
where
you are faltering. It's just you see for yourself. For that, I
think
meditation is the most important thing.
Every day you should do
meditation. Those who do not do meditation
are capable of falling down
because meditation is like putting oil
into the lamp. Those who do not
meditate, think they can do without
it, are sadly mistaken. They have to
meditate morning and evening.
The problem is everything comes so handily, so
simple that they
don't understand that meditation is very
important.
Not you, but there are many I know who get Realization, who
don't
meditate and their style is different. Their nature is
different.
Meditation is such a soothing thing ... a beautiful way
of
connection with the Divine, that all your problems get solved in
that
meditative moment.
If you are not meditating, you are not following
meditation, then
maybe your light will go down. It won't give sufficient
light. It's
important, very important to find out about yourself, about
others
in the meditation.
How to do meditation, many people ask. Don't
do anything, just go
into thoughtless awareness. Try to go to the thoughtless
awareness.
If you can get into that condition of thoughtless awareness, you
can
do your job because that's the point where you are with the
truth,
with the reality, with the joy.
When you meditate try not to
make some sort of a function out of it -
no. Meditation is something silent
in yourself, silence in your
thoughts and going to that deep ocean which is
within you, itself.
But supposing you don't do that, if you don't meditate I
can make
out immediately those who are meditating and those who are not.
It's
not difficult for Me.
Those who do not meditate are always
hesitating. They are confused.
They can't understand. And that's why
meditation is the most
important thing.
Just like a light burns with
the electricity flowing in it, in the
same way meditation is a continuous
availability of the Divine
Force. That will reduce all your agitations. Not
only that, but it
takes out all the negative thoughts. It takes out all
the
discouraging things. And when you are meditating like
that,
thoughtless awareness, then you will be amazed how you are
helped
from within and without. It's a terrible power that works,
this
thoughtless awareness.
So those who do not meditate cannot go
very much far with the
advantage of Sahaj Yoga. If you are in thoughtless
awareness, what
happens to you is that you get the confidence, complete
confidence
of divinity. You know you have it.
Meditation will give you
security.... It will give you are a real
enlightenment and a complete
connection with the Divine. Without the
connection of the Divine, what's the
use of doing Sahaj Yog?...
I've talked so much about meditation before,
but today when I see
all these candles burning, I think they are all
meditating. They are
all in meditation and that's how they're growing. In the
same way,
Sahaja Yogis who meditate, I know. And those who don't, I know.
And
if they have problems, I know why the problems are there.
It's
very important to become thoughtlessly aware because then there
are no
thoughts coming from the left or the right, from the [past]
or the future.
Just in the present you are there. It's something you
all have. It's not that
I'm saying that to you, but all of you have
this, but steady yourself. You
have to steady yourself at
thoughtless awareness. How long - that's not the
point. The point is
once you've touched it, you'll go on touching it.... It
is always
described in all the great books, but not so clearly as I am
telling
you.
Even for a second, if you get it, it's a very good idea.
Then you go
on increasing that second. I think it's a reflecting mind. When
you
look at something, you can become thoughtlessly aware and then
your
mind deflects to the depth of what you see. That's how you all
will
become really very creative Sahaja Yogis.
Many people are here
who will say, 'Mother, we don't get that
state.' Try. Try that. I don't
believe you cannot get it. All of you
can get that thought that 'I can get
it.' And you will get it. In
that, you don't have to discard anything, you
don't have to see
anything, just go into meditation and you will be amazed
how it will
work out. Of course, you are very much there, most of you,
but
still, I would say, increase that thoughtless awareness, that
area.
So today's message is that while you are meditating, go
into
thoughtless awareness. No thought is important because it's your
own
creation. But if you have to become one with the Divine creation,
you
have to get to that state of thoughtless awareness, minimum of
minimum. And
that comes to you gradually if you grow and you'll be
amazed how you'll be
able to grow into Sahaja Yoga in a very big way.
While you are meditating, go into thoughtless awareness
