How you can go with the flow and succeed.

​
​Dear All,

In last week's email about how your meditation helps you to overcome stress, mention was made of a concept from Chinese philosophy called 'Wu wei' (无为).

This has been variously translated as: 'going with the flow' , 'success without action', 'non-doing'. Since this concept is central to understanding how your practice of sahaja yoga meditation begins to seep into your day-to-day life and can begin to reward you in some very interesting ways, it's useful to know more.

The idea of wu wei is specifically found in Taoist philosophy, founded by Lao Tzu  who is quoted as saying:

"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished"

Shri Mataji uses the term: ' Ritambara pragnya' which could be translated as the 'enlightened knowledge/intelligence of Mother Nature'.

When you got your kundalini awakening, felt as a cool breeze above the head, this was your connection to Ritambara Pragnya. The cultivation of this connection is through your daily 10-minute meditation.

Although the most visible expression of Ritambara Pragnya is the changing seasons: Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer, it is much more than that. As Lao Tzu remarked,  this 'Tao' is in fact the Mother of existence itself. With the kundalini awakening it's as if you become a child of that.

Here is how this sometimes manifests:

You're looking for something; suddenly you find it. You're thinking of somebody; suddenly they give you a call. You're running late to the airport; news comes through that there is a flight delay. You're stuck somewhere; something happens and you're unstuck.
 

These and many other examples of the working of Ritambara Pragnya is the common experience of many sahaja yogis and if it hasn't started happening to you yet, it soon will. Just be more regular in your meditation and use the photo.

On the subject of the photo, the chinese sahaja yogis, who have a culture as ancient as the indians, tell us that Shri Mataji is the embodiment of Guan Yin .

See you at group meditation on Tuesday.

Regards
