Shri Mataji
What is our job is to enjoy, enjoy everything, and that enjoyment is the blessing of the Divine. Even you can enjoy the turmoil, the torture, everything you can enjoy if you see the point that nothing can happen to your spirit, which is the real light. Whatever you may suffer, whatever you may think is troubling you, actually this silent light of the spirit makes you absolutely perfectly joyous.
And you give joy to others. You don’t design it, you don’t plan it, how to give joy, but you just automatically give joy; and this giving joy is also effortless, sahaj, because you are in the sahaja state. In the sahaj state you just see things. It’s a drama you feel it, it’s a different styles, different types, and you just see and watch and get the joy out of it. It is not important to say, “I like this, I like that” – no. That “I” which likes is nothing but ego, and keeps you out of the enjoyment which is reality, which is real. Everything in this world that you find is troublesome, if you see from another angle, from a sahaja sthiti, you won’t feel the troubles. But that higher life should be there, that higher standard should be built within you.
Shri Mataji, 2000
Sahaja Yoga Meditation will have a stall at the 2009 Sydney Mind Body Spirit Festival to be held this week. If you’ve always wondered about meditation, but weren’t sure how to do it, we’ll be happy to help you.
While there is a general entrance fee to enter the Festival itself, Sahaja Yoga will, as always, be teaching our meditation for free. Sahaja Yoga Meditation is very easy to do and you are welcome to join us to experience the peace it offers.
The Festival is at the Sydney Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour, from Thursday 30 April until Sunday 3 May 2009, from 10.00am to 7.00pm daily.
You’ll find our meditation stall at: Hall 1, Stand G 04
So if you are planning to attend the Festival, make sure to come and visit us to have the experience of true meditation. We’re also preparing take-home information kits, too, to help you meditate at home. In addition, we will provide information on the many locations throughout Sydney and Australia (and worldwide!) where you can attend free weekly meditation classes.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, as there will be lots of other beginners, too, and we’ll show you simple techniques to enjoy Sahaja Yoga Meditation.

In this great opportunity of love that we are, we are here to enjoy each other fully from our heart, that there is this ocean within us. We have to just get submerged in that ocean. If we are lost in that ocean, then we’ll have no problems, no questions, everything will be our own and we can manage everything without any argument, without any questioning. That is what is being Sahaj.
The Sahaj way, if you have this love, you enjoy. You enjoy yourself and enjoy everybody else because it is Sahaj. Just it is there and it works.
The feeling of love has no way of expressing itself. It is just there. It cannot express itself because it is without expression. It is just to be felt within yourself. Then you want to do so many things. You want to help everyone. You want to help yourself. You want to do good to others.
So much has been done by great leaders of the world because they had that love.They had nothing else but this love, which they could not contain … so they tried to spread it and they are called now as our gurus, as our masters.
It’s that love within which approached people in that unique manner. That’s a thing that we cannot possess, you cannot claim. It is there and it works. It works automatically.
This is what we have to know – that we are that love. That love is within us. We have to have knowledge. We have to have a complete knowledge that we are that love. That will solve our problem. Because you can explain everything, all your behaviour, all your failures, everything you can explain when you know that you are endowed with that love.
This is what is the Guru, is the love within you, which wants to share love with others, which wants to give love to others. This what is peace and joy.
Shri Mataji, 2004
