I remember something that happened to me a few years ago and it made me realize the importance of this communion with God. It gives you so much confidence. It was midnight and I was on my way home. The empty street was only half-lit. Suddenly, someone shouted at me from behind,

"Stop, or I'll hit you with the axe !"

I didn't stop… I kept walking without panic and I focussed my attention on God, waiting to see what would happen next. I sensed that the aggressor had started to run towards me. When I felt he was very close behind me, I turned sharply round towards him and I strongly invoked God's help. The result was amazing. The aggressor stopped suddenly at about 30 cm in front of me, as if there was a wall between us. And he quickly changed his direction and ran away!!! He seemed very shocked, and he was running as if I was his aggressor and not his victim…

What I felt during this event and afterwards was that, in fact, we are never alone and only our ignorance makes us believe that we are. There is a 'Divine Army' willing to help us. All we need is to keep this in mind and to have faith.

None of these things would have been possible without the help of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who is the source of this knowledge. She is a genuine Master, who made Sahaja Yoga possible for the benevolence of all the people who are seeking a direct awareness of God.
