The mind that is very much conditioned, or the mind which is the abode of self indulgence or of egoistic actions and thoughts, is also a very slow conveyance for Sahaja Yoga. Even if you read too much about the deconditioning of the mind, you may get only conditioned; if you try to decondition by efforts, you can become conditioned worse than what you were. Deconditioning is only possible through Divine Love. The main condition of the Sahaja Yoga is that your will and freedom are all the time respected. Therefore, you must be an honest, ardent seeker of the truth.

In Sahaja Yoga the person is fully aware and alert and receives inner silence and experience without doing any unnatural or extra normal positions or movements. He sits in a completely easy pose throughout (Sahajasana). The breathing is normal or less than normal. One feels absolutely relaxed and thoughtlessly aware.

Religions are also the expressions and manifestation of the very evolved prophets and the incarnations. They also told us about the inner being, second birth and about self-realisation. In the beginning in India they tried to take the attention inside by introducing symbols that they saw of this unconscious universal being within. This gave rise to pantheism and the aspirant’s attention got stuck to the symbols (sakar) and to rituals which killed the main objective.

So the other type of experiments of talking only about the abstract (nirakar) gave rise to many other religions which ended up as dogmas or ‘isms’. The reason is obvious that talking about the flower or the honey cannot take you to the honey, but can only create dogmatic ‘isms’ in the mind. You have to be a bee to reach there i.e. you have to be reborn. This has to happen within, to take your attention inside.

It is too great an achievement, and unbelievable, but I feel the search of ages has brought great results.

The mind, with a child-like innocence achieves very quick results. Whatever may be the load of the mind, if the longing is honest and earnest, sooner or later, the aspirant can get self-realisation. After reaching this state the vibrations start emitting from the hands, the feet and the head. They are also described by Adi Sankaracharya in his work Saundarya Lahari.
