Translation from Hindi:

In the centre what you are looking, there is a channel, this channel is called ‘Sushumna Nadi’. This channel is created inside us, it manifests parasympathetic nervous system in us. Human beings have reached till that only.

Now whatever we have achieved in our evolution from amoeba stage to stage of human beings it is recorded in our central nervous system. Our central nervous system can be understood as a reflector of all this. It is in our conscious mind. Left-hand channel called Ida Nadi nurtures our subconscious mind. Or it operates it, like if you are listening something from me, you are listening from your conscious mind. But it goes in your subconscious. This work is done by your left-side channel. It hears anything and then immediately transfers it in the subconscious.
...
And that is why what people call conditioning can be of two types. It can be good sanskars as well as bad sanskars. People like Freud have seen only bad sanskars. Their eyes are like the way of taking knowledge of such people is like it is a dark place and whatever is found in anybody’s hand, they take and sit, “It is the truth.” It is called ‘objecting’.

Second way is that light has been switched on. You see everything. It is the way of Sahaja Yoga.

Gaining knowledge by listening to someone or by science is a blind way. 
...
What is science? It is a very small part of this knowledge. I will also tell you that with science you know such a small portion. Very little. Through Pingala Nadi you get five elements, through science you just know five elements, like earth has gravity. But why it is there, how it is there?
...
We have a Spirit inside us, It knows all about us, It is kshetr Heart. But it is not in our central nervous system, means it is not in our conscious mind. That means that we have not known It but It knows about us. That’s why this gap has been made because Kundalini has to rise from inside it. This has to happen.
...

Now these subtle centres, if you are able to awaken these centres, then your health will improve automatically. There is one disease, what it is called, it is called multiple sclerosis, doctors say it cannot be treated but I say it can be treated with Sahaj Yoga. It can be cured 100 percent. In this I see three centres which get catches: Mooladhara Chakra, Nabhi Chakra and Agnya Chakra. If we cure these three centres then it can get cured.

When you try to search something from outside, suppose there is a tree, some problem has come in it, even if you do some treatment from outside also it may get cured to some extent, but if you know how to cure it from its roots then the tree will get cured.

In the same way, disease of cancer. You get cancer due to over usage of sympathetic nervous system. Either you do it emotionally or due to some other reasons, sometimes there is some irritation or some infection, in any ways these sympathetic emergencies are there on you. If there is emergency, is continuously on you. Then what happened in emergency here, same condition happens to human beings, in that time parasympathetic is constantly trying to cure your cancer. You get cancer daily. That means you use sympathetic nervous system daily and parasympathetic goes on feeding it to balance it. It is in the centre Sushumna Nadi.

Like there is a left side or right side, there is right side sympathetic or left side sympathetic, both are working all the time. When they break, the Deities inside it also sleeps. Then starts the malignancy, one cell starts expanding, from that another cell also start expanding. It is not related to the entire body; single unit starts expanding arbitrarily. It forms cancer. If we awaken the Deities inside it then the cancer can be cured.

Now there are Deities or not? People will say, how can we trust in Deities? After Sahaja Yoga, you yourself will see that after taking their names things get cured and you will realise, they are there. This will happen after Sahaja Yoga.
...
So, the first thing is that this happening should happen, second thing is to establish in it, third thing is to get the entire knowledge, which chakra is where, how to move that chakra, how to cure that chakra.

There are only three steps of Sahaja Yoga. If this happens then you become a Sahaja Yogi and you start doing miracles sitting here only for you and for others also. You start enjoying because the power will be flowing from you all the time.
...
First thing is that Sahaja Yoga is not a lecture or a brain wash. It is nothing like these things. It is actualisation which actually happens to you. It has to be actualisation because if your attention is outside and if I say you take your attention inside then you cannot take it. If I say take your attention towards your Spirit then you will ask where the Spirit is and where I have to take the attention. It is possible only by one means when something happens inside you and due to that actualisation attention will go inside.

[Shri Mataji speaks in English]

First of all, as I said that Kundalini is the residual consciousness within us is recording all that we have done before in many lives and today whatever we are doing. It is the subconscious which is like a tape recorder, the complete micro subconscious you can call it, which is placed in the triangular bone.

Now, why is happening is necessary because the attention that is outside of human beings have to be pulled inside.
...
Without knowing your Atma or Spirit you cannot know anything about God and whatever you try to do could be absolutely wrong because you haven’t got the eyes to see. That’s why all these people who play into the religions have landed in difficulties.

Once you are connected with God, you enter into the Kingdom of God, then you are looked after and then you have a right to use your powers as a citizen of that kingdom. But before that if you try to do any such efforts it is all futile. Could be like a telephone being used which is not connected to the mains. It is like a toy. It’s a dummy. Till you are Realised you are a dummy.
...
But when I say it has to be effortless, people say, “What about purusharth [effort]? Is all egoistical. Purusharth [effort] is in maintaining yourself alright.”
...
You must have your dharmas intact. This is the effort [purusharth] is to keep yourself away from all kinds of non sensical temptations which come to you and use your freedom to maintain your freedom from this kind of non sensical enslavement. This is all enslavement. This is not freedom. To enjoy your lust and greed is not freedom. The freedom lies in achieving the power to be above all these things, above all temptations. Every moment we are enslaving ourselves.
...
What is the vidhya [true knowledge]? What is the vidhya of a motor car? To know what switch works what instrument, to know how to control the car, to know how to drive it, that is the vidhya of car. In the same way the vidhya is to know what is the key for different chakras, how to keep your own chakras alright, how to keep the chakras of others alright. How by these things you get the movement into your own being.
