Put Attention to Our Spirit

We had a very good meditation tonight at the Whitby Library. Olga spoke very nicely about the Spirit and the importance of directing our attention to our Spirit. She quoted from a talk by Shri Mataji from 1980 (Divine Cool Breeze Magazine Volume 20/3):
"What is Sahaja Yoga? It is the right of every seeker to have this connection with the Divine. This you are doing in your own right... you are promised in the modern times, all those who will ask for Realization will be granted. What a promise to make - just imagine! And you use Me for that purpose - or Sahaja Yogis... The time has come and I have to give you Realization...If you think you have the right then you must assume also the power of the spirit within you. You have to keep your attention to your spirit... People don't understand how we've done it. We have because the spirit is the dynamism within us... The basis of all our existence is nothing but our spirit..."
Once we have our Self-Realization it is necessary to 'train' our attention towards the Spirit in us, the goodness in life, the innocence of this world, peace, love and joy in ourselves and to bringing these things to the lives of others. Before Self-Realization the attention is outside ourselves, Kundalini brings it inward, it is our job to establish our attention upon our spiritual growth.
