The Book of Adi Shakti
H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
We often wonder how Shri Adishakti created the world, how did She plan it, how did She organize it?
She was impelled by the power of love. Her love poured out, and began to plan and organize the whole creation. But She had conceived the image of human beings in Her son Shri Ganesha long before the Earth and its habitat was created. Similarly, She had envisaged Sahaja Yoga before Her incarnation, “I knew about it since I was born. I knew about myself…..”
Before the advent of Sahaja Yoga in 1970 She had recorded Her divine plan in Her diary. Its precious leaves were compiled in a book She titled, ’Creation the Eternal Play”. “Of course I have written all about it and when my book will be released you can see ….how a living process starts. I have mostly finished, but there’s some more Chakras to be dealt with.” (Shri Adishakti Puja, 21st June 1998)
Perhaps She did not want to reveal it earlier as it would have hampered Her work; the quest of the intellect would have eclipsed the quest of the spirit.
She pinned to embrace Her children but their sensitivity had become too weak to feel Her love. She did not want to compel them into Her embrace because She respected their free will. But She did not give up on them; She took them in Her sacred heart and nurtured them. Single-handed She bore the load of the future building of Sahaja Yogis. Only She, the Adishakti could accomplish such a task. Only She could encompass all the angularities and aspects of human beings - their particular ideologies or dominations. She could not only see their physical self, mental self and emotional self but the whole being. It made Her realize that only their compassion could strengthen their sensitivity.
Thus they had to go through the Kurukshetra of Kali Yuga to wield that compassion. When they saw people getting completely drowned and completely destroyed, their compassion rose to emancipate others. This was the evolutionary step She was waiting for. The unconscious permeated the conscious mind and gave meaning to Her creation. The dynamic force bubbled out of the instruments She had created and adorned Her creation!
Each word in Her book is a pearl of wisdom to be treasured in our sacred heart! It is a treasure the world cannot hold and has to be guarded from the jealous eyes of the intellect, its futile speculations and analysis. Moreover, it is a revelation and therefore not a subject of discussions but meditation. Each word is a Beej Mantra. When we ensconce with Shri Mataji in our heart, the seed is being nurtured; it will germinate and reveal Her message - it is Her promise.
