| The Kingdom Of God Within | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Lord Jesus: "Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man born be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
"As soon as the Sahasrara (Kingdom of God within) was opened the whole atmosphere was filled with tremendous Chaitanya. And there was tremendous Light in the sky. And the whole thing came on the Earth — as if a torrential rain or a waterfall — with such tremendous force, as if I was unaware and got stupefied. The happening was so tremendous and so unexpected that I was stunned and totally silent at the grandeur. I saw the Primordial Kundalini rising like a big furnace, and the furnace was very silent but a burning appearance it had, as if you heat up metal, and it had many colors. In the same way, the Kundalini showed up as a furnace, like a tunnel, as you see these plants you have here for coal burning that create electricity. And it stretched like a telescope and came out one after another, Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Just like that. And the Deities came and sat on their seats, golden seats, and then they lifted the whole of the head like a big dome and opened it, and then this torrential rain complete drenched Me. I started seeing all that and got lost in the Joy. It was like an artist seeing his own creation, and I felt the Joy of great fulfillment. After coming out of this beautiful experience I looked around and saw human beings so blind and I became absolutely silent, and desired that I should get the cups to fill the Nectar . . .”

Shri
Mataji Nirmala Devi
“Today
we are celebrating the opening of the Sahasrara
(Kingdom of God within).
On this day I must say it was a Great Happening that took place on all the
humanity. It was such an achievement, which I never realized before. Now I
can see that without Self-Realization it would have been impossible to
talk to people.
Shri
Puratana Devi
Puratana
(801st): Primordial or
Ancient.
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Today is a great day for us, for all the
Sahaja Yogis that on this day . . . the Sahasrara
(Kingdom of God within) was opened out. It was
just a miracle I should say because I didn’t think that I am at a point
where it could be done. So I wanted to wait but some things happened that
made Me think that it had to be opened. It was in such a situation that I
felt if I delayed it anymore now it may help these false gurus to spread
their nonsense all over.”
Shri Brahmani Devi
Brahmani
(821st): By ‘Brahma’ is meant the ‘Anandamaya-Kosa’ and ‘Ani’ means the
tail or ‘Pucchagra.’ According to sruti ‘Brahmapuccham pratistha’ She
dwells in the tail of ‘Anandamaya-Kosa’ or ‘Ani’ means one who moves the
Reality to action, i.e., indwelling Power of Reality.
“For all of us the seekers the
last work of the Divine of opening the last centre in the Great Primordial
Being was done on the 5th of May, 1970. It is the greatest event of all
the spiritual happenings of the Universe. It was done with great care and
great attachment. It is not in the limits of human understanding how
things are worked in the heavens. It is your fortune and God’s Love that
has worked this one.
Shri
Sasvataisvarya Devi
Sasvataisvarya
(952nd): Eternal Kingdom of dominion. She is always the Giver of Eternal
Bliss, the greatest dominion
“So it was a turmoil . . . and at this turmoil state only Adi Shakti
had to come to establish the Dharma . . .
Shri
Niskriya Devi
Niskriya
(182nd): Beyond all
“You
know that I reside in the Sahasrara
(Kingdom of God within). I incarnated on the Lotus of 1000
Petals; that is why I could break it open also.”
Shri Svatmananda-Lavibhuta
Brahmadyananda-Santatih Devi
Svatmananda-Lavibhuta
Brahmadyananda-Santatih [365th]: All the bliss enjoyed by the beings from
Brahma downwards put together is but a drop in the ocean of Bliss enjoyed
by Herself.
“By saying there’s no God, God doesn’t disappear. He is very much
there. Sahaja Yoga is the only way you can prove the existence of God and
all that is said so far about all these Incarnations because the Seventh
Chakra is now open. You get your Realization, and you become the spirit.
It is so imminent that the Seventh Chakra
(Kingdom of God within) had to be opened so that you
pass from one life level to another level.”
Shri Abala-gopa-vidita
Devi
Abala-gopa-vidita
[994th]: Known even to ignorant ones like children and untutored like Gopa
or cowherds.
“What is the meaning of going into
meditation? It means you have got connected to the Paramchaitanya,
the All-Pervading Power. The minute you are in meditation you have
established Oneness with the Paramchaitanya.”
Shri
Chakra-raja-ratha-rudha-sarvayudha-pariskrta Devi
Chakra-raja-ratha-rudha-sarvayudha-pariskrta
(68th): Mounted on the chariot or Sri Chakra. She is armed
with all the weapons i.e. powers. She has three bodies: the
Stula, Suksma and Karana which are represented by the three
Chakra — Sri-Chakra, Geya-Chakra and Kiri-Chakra. Geya
Chakra is mounted by Mantrini i.e., mind. Kiri Chakra is
mounted by Varahi, i.e., Buddhi. Her weapons are there in
the microcosm. They are good qualities like Soma and Dama,
truth, and righteousness, distinguishing between real and
unreal and developing a cosmic view of the Reality. They are
for fighting the ego (Bhanda); with the help of these
qualities the enlightened mind realises the Ultimate Reality
as an all-pervading consciousness.
"This
Kundalini is the one which is called as the Kumbha; in
Sanskrit language means the Aquarius. We call it as Aquarius, as one of
the Signs, and is the same as Khumba in Sanskrit language.
Shri
Srikanthardha-saririni Devi
Srikanthardha-saririni
(392nd): Half the body of Sri-kantha, I.e. Siva is Hers. The equal status
of Siva and Shakti are indicated by this name.
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Without breaking the Sahasrara
(Kingdom of God within) we could not have achieved
the ascent en masse. . . . To keep Sahasrara open should be very easy if
the western brains could understand and be aware of your Mother. When
your Mother is the Deity of Sahasrara the only way to be able to keep the
Sahasrara open has to be complete surrendering. For that many ask Me, "How
do we do it’?" It’s a very funny question. It is irrelevant. If your
Sahasrara has been opened by someone, and luckily that is the Deity before
you, it should be the easiest thing to surrender.
But it is not . . . What is
surrendering? . . . What do you have to surrender? A drop has to dissolve
in the Ocean to become the Ocean, and a drop cannot be greater than the
Ocean — can it be? So what is the surrendering? Surrendering of our
conditionings, of our ego, and the artificial barriers we have built
around us . . .
But one should know this is the greatest
of greatest opportunity for you, not for the Divine. If you are not
available the Divine can find its own way of fulfilling its Last
Culmination of Expression. Even to understand how immense the task is you
need a surrendering heart..
Shri Kantardha-vigraha Devi
Kantardha-vigraha [861st]: Having
a form half of which is a ‘female’ i.e., Ardha-narisvara: showing the dual
concept of Reality as the united aspect of Siva and Shakti.
“When the
Kundalini enters the Agnya Chakra, She enlightens it. Then Christ within
you is enlightened or awakened. He sucks both these balloons of ego and
the super-ego and the whole Agnya Chakra opens. There is simultaneous
opening of the Sahasrara
(Kingdom of God within). I saw the Sahasrara of the Virata open. It was
like tongues of flames. Just like when you dissect the human brain, its
cross-section looks like petals of flame. In the center of it, it looks
like a yellow hole. The opening of the Sahasrara is sudden. With a bang it
opens."
Sri
Durlabha Devi
Durlabha
(188th): Hard to attain
“I
know all beyond the Vaikuntha but I have not revealed it so far. It will
be slowly revealed by Me because people have not been prepared yet to
become capable of absorbing it."
Shri Sukhprada Devi
Sukhaprada [192nd]: Confers
happiness or bliss or Moksa which is Nirvana-Sukha, the Bliss of
Liberation.
Shri
Madhumati Devi
Madhumati
(717th): Madhu stands for bliss. She is Brahmananda Herself
or She is of the form of Mantras in Veda beginning with
Madhu. There are seven states of consciousness called
Jnana-Bhumikas, the highest of them being called Madhumati.
Only highest evolved souls called Paramahamsas reach this
stage which is beyond ‘Dhyana.’ She is that stage Herself.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: John
3:1-12
"There
has been nothing written about Sahasrara
(Kingdom
of God) before. In none of the scriptures Sahasrara
is described. Nobody knew anything about Sahasrara.
They just left it at the Agnya Chakra
— finished! They could only go until Agnya
and nothing has been written about Sahasrara
so far. And there is no mantra written
about Sahasrara."
Shri
Sahasrarambujarudha Devi
Sahasrarambujarudha
(106th): She ascends the Sahasrara-chakra. She dwells
there as saksi or chitkala in the liberated souls.
This is Moksa.
He told them another parable.
"The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three
measures of flour, till it was all leavened."
And when He was demanded of
the Pharisees, Luke
17:21
"This
is a very important thing that has happened to
you, that the Sahasrara has opened. Now
you can prove the existence of God, His Will,
everything, to the whole world. Nobody can
challenge Sahaja Yoga. Those scientists who might
challenge, can be told. Anybody, whether you're a
scientists, economist, politician, anything,
everything can be explained in the light of Sahaja
Yoga and can be proved: that there's only one
politics, that is of God, one economics that is of
God, and there is only one religion that is, of
God, that is Vishwa Nirmala Dharma.
It can be proved, there's nothing to be afraid of
or to worry about.
Shri
Mataji Nirmala Devi
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
And great crowds gathered about
him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the
beach.
And he told them many things in
parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seeds
fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
Other seeds fell on rocky
ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they
had no depth of soil,
But when the sun rose they were
scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.
Other seeds fell upon thorns,
and the thorns grew up and choked them.
Other seeds fell on good soil
and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
He who has ears, let him
hear."
Then the disciples came and
said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
And he answered them,
For to him who has will more be
given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has
will be taken away.
This is why I speak to them in
parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do
they understand.
With them indeed is fulfilled
the prophecy of Isaiah which says: `You shall indeed hear but never understand,
and you shall indeed see but never perceive.
For this people's heart has
grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have
closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.'
But blessed are your eyes, for
they see, and your ears, for they hear.
Truly, I say to you, many
prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and
to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
"Hear then the parable of
the sower.
When any one hears the word of
the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away
what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path.
As for what was sown on rocky
ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;
Yet he has no root in himself,
but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account
of the word, immediately he falls away.
As for what was sown among
thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the
delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
As for what was sown on good
soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit,
and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another
thirty."
Another parable he put before
them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed
good seed in his field;
But while men were sleeping,
his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
So when the plants came up and
bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.
And the servants of the
householder came and said to him, `Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field?
How then has it weeds?
He said to them, `An enemy has
done this.' The servants said to him, `Then do you want us to go and gather
them?
But he said, `No; lest in
gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.
Let both grow together until
the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first
and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn."
Another parable he put before
them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which
a man took and sowed in his field;
It is the smallest of all
seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so
that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches."
He told them another parable.
"The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three
measures of flour, till it was all leavened."
All this Jesus said to the
crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable.
This was to fulfil what was
spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what
has been hidden since the foundation of the world."
Then he left the crowds and
went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us
the parable of the weeds of the field."
He answered, "He who sows
the good seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world,
And the enemy who sowed them is
the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.
Just as the weeds are gathered
and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.
The Son of man will send his
angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all
evildoers,
And throw them into the furnace
of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
Then the righteous will shine
like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
"The kingdom of heaven is
like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his
joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
"Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,
Who, on finding one pearl of
great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
"Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every
kind;
When it was full, men drew it
ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad.
So it will be at the close of
the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,
And throw them into the furnace
of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
And throw them into the furnace
of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
"Have you understood all
this?" They said to him, "Yes."
And he said to them,
"Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is
like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is
old."
And when Jesus had finished
these parables, he went away from there,
And coming to his own country
he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said,
"Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Is not this the carpenter's
son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph
and Simon and Judas?
And are not all his sisters
with us? Where then did this man get all this?"
And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own
country and in his own house."
And he did not do many mighty
works there, because of their unbelief.
Matthew 13:
1-58
"By
saying there’s no God, God doesn’t disappear.
He is very much there. Sahaja Yoga is the only way you can prove the existence of God and all
that is said so far about all these Incarnations
because the Seventh Chakra is now open; you
get your Realization, and you become the spirit.
It is so imminent that the Seventh Chakra
had to be opened so that you pass from one life
level, to another level."
Shri Abala-gopa-vidita Devi
Abala-gopa-vidita
(994th): Known even to ignorant ones like children
and untutored like Gopa or cowherds.
But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

would have been impossible to talk to people. Then this happened! I thought that
how I will talk to people about it because no one would understand Me and it
would be a big mistake on My part to say something about Sahasrara because even
about Sahasrara no where in the scriptures something was described. It was
absolutely an ambiguous description I would say where people could not even have
thought there is a Realm beyond Sahasrara, and one has to enter that Realm where
is the Reality. That time what I saw around Me was darkness and unless and until
there are many Lights, people will never realize that how important it is to
have Light."

their mind through religious activity with righteous thinking. The aim of every
religion was to establish balance in every way to make way for the ascent of the
seeker. The "second birth", "walihood", "selfhood",
"Buddha's state", "Jaini state", "Gnostic",
or "Atmasakshatkar" are all names for
Self-realization
. . . So the greatest thing we have to achieve is
our second birth; our Self-Realization; the
Salvation"
Shri

when you are thirsty you go to a river or you go to an ocean and try to
