Interviewer: Now You tell me the ancient Sahaja Yoga technique …

Shri Mataji: Ancient Sahaja Yoga I told you is in Patanjali Yoga they have written down. They have ashtangas, out of which these acrobats are only wee part of one of them. So all that you do, and this and that and then the guru finds it out. He might even beat you. He might even hang you on the well, do all kinds of things just to put down the ego.

Sahaja Yoga is the other way round, first you get your Realization and then know what’s wrong with you, yourself. Like people will come and say, “Mother, please help me, my Agnya is caught.” This chakra. Means he has ego. Nobody would say that to anyone that “I have got ego,” will they say?

Interviewer: Right, right, right. So they can actually figure out themselves what the …

Shri Mataji: You become introspective. You see inside yourself that this is wrong. Take it out.

Interviewer: How long does one have to practice every day – keep the minimum time. How many hours one should practice to be introspective and get that Realization continuously coming to them.

Shri Mataji: I told you, one month.

Interviewer: No, after that.

Shri Mataji: After that, in the morning if you do about five minutes meditation.

Interviewer: That’s it?

Shri Mataji: That’s all, and evening about ten minutes.

Interviewer: A lot of people say do two hours, you know, ten percent of your time.

Shri Mataji: These are modern times, I know that. (laughs)
