HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi on the auspicious
occasion of Shri William Blake's Birthday
"It is such a pleasure today and great
fortune that here where William Blake lived and he sang those songs of
greatness, of the greatness of this country, the future that it has to be. The dreams he saw have now come to shape,
that we are here to celebrate his anniversary.
Things go beyond words and you can not express yourself. Many people do not understand him, because he
wrote it according to them in abstract language, or in language that he
understood. But I am happy that Sahaja Yogis understand him so well, and the
prophesies that he made about England. People use to ridicule him. Ridicule
it. Even today they can't believe that
Jerusalem can be built in England." (HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi -
Hampstead, London England - Nov 28th 1981)
"I knew who he was, what he is doing, why
he was here. We do not know about him much, because from the books you can't
understand who he could have been. He was an incarnation of Bhairavanath, that
is whom you call Saint Michael, or Saint George who is as you know the Saint
Angel of England. That is why he had to incarnate and for him this was his role
to talk about Divine in an open fearless manner. He had to use symbolic language. He had to
use. It is not difficult to understand him at all if you're a realized soul.
You'll read through it sometimes laughing, sometimes weeping, enjoying the
whole drama what he is trying to express. When I read him I am amazed at his
sense of humor, how he openly comes out with such remarks. I feel he is like
Markandaya in India, or Kabirdas in India who slashed the whole society, with
their sword all the time to see that they are brought to the proper shape.
Without fear, but so gentle." (HH
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Hammersmith, West London - Nov 28th 1985)
JERUSALEM
AND did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.
The poem was inspired by the legend that young
Jesus, accompanied by His uncle Joseph of Arimathea, who was a maritime trader,
traveled to the area that is now England and visited Glastonbury.An English
sahaja yogini refererred that Shri Mataji told the meaning: ‘Those feet” are
referred to the Holy Feet of Jesus Christ, and also the expression ‘Holy Lamb
of God’ is referred to Jesus, because Shri Mataji had said that Jesus went to
England and walked through the whole country.
