Dear All,
So the best way to cure catches is to leave it to the Divine. That
is the best method that works again and again. And if you do get
catches after that all you have to do is put your attention on them
in the thoughtless state. It is very important to be in the
thoughtless state_before putting your attention on the affected
chakra(s). Go into thoughtless and then put attention, not the other
way round.
Those who really want to get their subtle system balanced and heal
the catches must learn to surrender all problems to the Divine. If
they ever get any catches after that they will have to learn how to
get into the thoughtless state and then put that enlightened
attention on the specific affected chakra(s). i have used this
method for years and the success rate is 100% - all the time.
And Shri Mataji also recommends just that:
"It is worth trying and after that you will realize that what you
were doing earlier was wrong. So once you are in thoughtlessness you
will get all inspirations, all powers and everything."
So please learn how to follow these instructions of Shri Mataji
instead of relying on the ignorance of other sickly SYs. The Mother
Kundalni and thoughtless state will work at all times, day after
day, month after months, year after year. There is just nothing like
learning to use these powers. This is a process that takes time,
patience and faith.
But if you are still not able to heal then She recommends treatments
as a last resort. It is a foregone conclusion that these SYs have
_not_ achieved that thoughtless state or learnt how to surrender
their problems to the divine. They just want a quick cure and do not
have the discipline required for attaining the thoughtless state.
And after all these cures and special diets you still get caught
there is nothing left to do, but to just continue these endless
catch-cure-catch-diet-catch-mantras-catch-lemons-catch-matka-
catch-candling ritual. And SYs just love all these cleansing rituals
which, IMO, are the least effective and almost useless as placebos.
If SYs have still not learnt how to heal petty catches how are they
ever going to cure diseases?
As usual you will not get any answers from those who are actively
perpetuating these rituals. For them Sahaja Yoga is all about the
subtle system. Since they have so much expertise in this field and
engage in daily treatments and diets why are they catching? Why are
they still not experts in leaving all to the Divine and attaining
that very important state of nirvichara/nirvikalpa? Why are they
bringing others down to their level? It just does not make any
sense.
The reason they can't is because they are so entangled.
SYs continue reading Shri Mataji's advise literally and do not use
their introspection as to what She really means. We are first and
foremost supposed to learn how to become thoughtless and leave
everything to the Mother Kundalini. When She says you have to
footsoak daily it is for those who just can't or find it difficult
to become thoughtless (nirvichara/nirvikalpa). These are the people
who should footsoak till they learn how to become skilled at
harnessing those powers. Once they have attained that state they
must abandon all external rituals. There is absolutely no need or
basis to continue these rituals when the Divine and thoughtless
state is far capable of looking after you. So why should those who
have attained this high state of consciousness be subjected to
footsoaks or any other cleansing rituals of those SYs still so far
away from attaining nirvichara/nirvikalpa?
i remember waiting for years to hear Shri Mataji saying the same
thing about the absurdity of ritualistic cleansing after i had given
up all external rituals. It made no sense to me to continue a
religion of lemons and chillies, as Danny has put it so eloquently.
i wanted to be vindicated of my belief that went against the "you-
will-always-catch-and-will-always-need-daily-footsoaking-and-
cleansing" declaration of that senior SY.
Then one day i heard Her saying so on the tape, lamenting at SYs who
continue footsoaking and doing treatment for years. Her words were
something to this effect: "What is the point of doing Sahaja Yoga if
you still need to do all these rituals?" i am not quoting Her verbatim but that is what She was trying to say. The day i get hold of this tape, whose year of origin remains unknown, i will post it here. Maybe then SYs will stop turning Sahaja Yoga into a religion of lemons and chillies.
jai Shri Mataji
