The Experience of the Spirit
Nov 14th, 2014
Shri Mataji
In every religion truth has been described. As I can see it, everybody does not see it. That is why there is blindness. That is why there are these blind alleys where you end up arguing things. So there must be something that is missing within us. We have not been able to really relate truth to our central nervous system.
Now, what is that missing within us? We should find out. In all humility, we should know that there must be something within us. We have been arguing about so many things. We have been talking about so many things, reading so many books, going into all kinds of funny experiences right from alcohol to other drugs and gurus and this and that, but still we have not felt anything on our central nervous system.
Secondly, we have no control over that truth. So what is the reason? Is something missing in the human awareness? Is it that we are lacking something in our human awareness? All the books, all the scriptures which are true scriptures have said one thing: to know the truth, you are to be born again…
If you take Patanjali, who wrote a very ancient book, it is not that Patanjali asked you to stand on your heads. That is wrong. That is just a wee bit of it. But what Patanjali has written is that you have to achieve the truth on your central nervous system … meaning the experience of your spirit.
