Idol worship: "The ultimate act against the Spirit is to worship that which has no Spirit.”
"This union of Atma and Shakti as the protector of one's existence is important to understand ... At a practical level what this means is that if one goes against the Spirit, identifying with anything apart from it, the heart 'catches'...
When we come to Sahaja Yoga the Tantra is damaged and impure and the heart 'catches.' There is nothing to be upset in that. One should settle down silently and work to undo the 'catches,' gradually and slowly. The whole Library of Divine Knowledge is at one's hand and if the heart's desire to evolve the being and achieve the Absolute is pure, the solution to every problem will occur automatically, effortlessly and spontaneously — Sahaj.
The ultimate act against the Spirit is to worship that which has no Spirit — gross matter or raksasas. Shri Muhammad inveighed against both.... The Atma and its expression is the sole Reality in the Universe. Identification with anything else causes the heart to 'catch.'"
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"At the Nirvikalpa state, the Collective Consciousness becomes
subtler and subtler. At that stage you can understand the very deep
significance of things when the Reality starts becoming clearer....
You give him a statue of a deity and ask him all about this statue —
whether it is all right or not. He might say that it is not alright.
You can feel the subtle vibrations, whether it is in Dharma or
otherwise.
Now can we say say that Ashtavinayaka's are living gods? How do you
know Jyotirlingas are living? How will you know unless you know the
integrations of all the great souls together? And how are you going
to judge them? That is why you must get Realization.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
