Talk to Sahaja Yogis

“Assume your position as the Sahaj yogi. So this attention must be brought round.” Shri Mataji

Jai Shri Mataji!

Dear Sahaja Yogi Brothers and Sisters,

This week’s collective focus is on Attention. Where is our attention?

As a Sahaja Yogi, the most important thing is our attention

“But for a Sahaja Yogi the most important thing is: you must save your attention. It’s called as Chitta Nirodha. Nirodh. It’s saving of your attention. “Where is it going? It’s such a precious thing for me. Where is it running?”

HH Shri Mataji’s words are our mantras meant for each and every one of us to imbibe and apply to ourselves only.

HH Shri Mataji explains the 4 states of Attention and how to have the attention of a Sahaja Yogi which pleases Her. The states of attention to overcome are:

Cunning attention
Emotional attention
Ignorant attention
Concentrated attention

“Assume your position as the Sahaj yogi.”

“You must know that you are Realised-souls, you are not ordinary mundane type of people. You are special people and you are not to waste your attention”

“Assume your position as the Sahaj yogi. So this attention must be brought round. You judge yourself – where is your attention – and what is the point of understanding, what is the measure of understanding. It’s very simple: I have to be pleased because I am the attention. If I am pleased then you have done the job. But I cannot be pleased by mundane things, by any arguments with that, but only by your ascent. So you judge yourself on that.”
