The poet, Gyaneshwara, wrote a series of poems in praise of the Divine. In\u00a0his book, Gyaneshwari<\/em>, the poet has given precise instructions for the awakening of the Kundalini and the achievement of Self-realisation.<\/p>\n

In the Epilogue to the Gyanashwari<\/em>, known as the Pasadyan<\/em>, Gyaneshwara expresses a desire for\u00a0mass realisation for the whole world. He predicts the arrival on Earth of people who will give their blessings to the whole world. These are his words:<\/p>\n

May the wicked give up their wickedness<\/em><\/p>\n

And develop a liking for good deeds.<\/em><\/p>\n

May all beings feel friendly with one another.<\/em><\/p>\n

May the darkness of evil vanish.<\/em><\/p>\n

May the whole universe see the light, the sun of One Universal Religion.<\/em><\/p>\n

May the desire of all human beings be fulfilled.<\/em><\/p>\n

May the world be visited ceaselessly by the company of the faithful saints<\/em><\/p>\n

Who would shower blessings on the earth.<\/em><\/p>\n

Such men are the moving forests of Kalpaturu trees.<\/em><\/p>\n

They are mines of wish-granting jewels.<\/em><\/p>\n

They are vocal oceans of nectar.<\/em><\/p>\n

They are moons without spots, suns without heat.<\/em><\/p>\n

Let such saints be friends to all.<\/em><\/p>\n

How similar are these wishes to those expressed by more recent writers, as in songs popular in the early 1970s. In his song, Don’t you feel a change a coming?<\/em> Cat Stevens expressed it in this way in 1971:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Don’t you feel a day is coming, and it won’t be too soon<\/em><\/p>\n

When the people of the world can all live in one room.<\/em><\/p>\n

When we shake off the ancient, shake off the ancient chains of our tomb<\/em><\/p>\n

We will all be born again of the eternal womb.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0In the same year, \u00a0John Lennon wrote the following lines in his famous song, Imagine<\/em>:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can<\/em><\/p>\n

No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man<\/em><\/p>\n

Imagine all the people sharing all the world…<\/em><\/p>\n

You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one<\/em><\/p>\n

I hope some day you’ll join us and the world will live as one.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is\u00a0not really a\u00a0coincidence that Cat Stevens and John Lennon were writing songs like this at this time. It was in 1970 that\u00a0Shri Mataji developed a unique method of giving en masse<\/em> self-realisation. Sahaja Yoga, which was founded by Shri Mataji, provides the path to awakening the Kundalini, attaining Self-realisation and living in peace with people from all over the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
