Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Home ---Talk Given by Dr. Jumsai“Education in Human Values”March 28th, 2005OM... OM... OM...Shanti Shanti ShantihiI offer my loving pranams at the Divine Lotus Feet of Bhagavan Baba.Sai Ram to all of you.(Audience) “Sai Ram! Sai Ram!”I think that this session can be questions and answers rather thangiving a talk. So, if you have any questions or if you like to askanything, I will try to answer.SOCIAL TRANSAFORMATION DRIVEN BY EDUCATION IN HUMAN VALUESQuestion: Maybe you could talk to us about Education in Human Values,how it influences our lives, the lives of youth, and education. Maybeyou could repeat the example about what you said in Barcelona aboutchildren trying and trying. There was some experiment. We would liketo hear that example once again.Answer: Education in Human Values is really the main mission ofBhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It is through this education that Swamihas said His Message will be known all over the world. It is throughthis education that peace will be established in the world. In fact,Swami has started another trust called the ‘Sri Sathya Sai Trust forWorld Peace’, and education will be the main work of the new trust.Thus, education is going to become more and more important in theworld. The reason is because children, when they go through thissystem of education, are transformed. And when children aretransformed, then the teachers very quickly are also transformed(although the teachers should first transform themselves before theyteach children!) (Laughter)But you know, as in the Sathya Sai School in Thailand, many teacherscome from many places. They are not devotees. But then, when theycome close to the children who are full of love, they becometransformed. And when children go back home, they transform theparents. So, in this way, the society is getting transformed. That’swhy it is very important that we work hard to set up Sathya Saischools as model schools in every country in the world.Right now we have 57 Sathya Schools in 35 countries. 40% of all theSathya Sai schools are in Latin America. So, there is a lot of workin Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America. We have done a lot ofresearch in trying to find out what is happening in all the SathyaSai schools in the world. And we have made several case studies ofchildren studying in Sathya Sai schools. Everywhere we find thatthere is lot of transformation in the children. And then, it goes onto the teachers, the parents and the society. So Swami is encouragingall of us to continue to do this work. I just talked to Swamiyesterday and He told me, "Work hard on education." (As if I am notworking hard!) I am already working very hard. (Laughter) So Hereally wants to push very hard to make sure that His education, whichis now changing quite a bit to what we call ‘Educare’, is goingaround the world.BRINGING SATHYA SAI EDUCARE TO SAUDI ARABIANow it is not only in the West or in the East, but where you have thestrongholds of Islam, that they are also interested in Sathya SaiEducation in Human Values. For example, in Saudi Arabia, which is theheadquarters where the religion of Islam is based.A few years back, I was asked to go and give training to teachers inSaudi Arabia. The organiser was actually a medical doctor who comesfrom Denmark. But he is in a hospital where he treats the princes ofSaudi Arabia. So he had a lot of influence.So he asked me to go there to give a seminar. But then, they sent mea thick book like that. And in that thick book, it tells you what youcannot say in Saudi Arabia. (Laughter)They say that for a foreigner, who is not a Muslim, you cannot talkabout Islam. If you do so, your head will be cut off. (Laughter) I amnot allowed to talk about values. Because they have their own values,and they don’t want any more values, they say.The medical doctor said he would arrange all the visas for me tocome. But finally, they said, “we don’t need anybody to come andtrain our teachers.” So, they rejected the visa application.At that time, I was Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs inThailand. So I told the medical doctor, “Don’t worry. I will get myown visa.” I went to the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Bangkok andyou know, diplomatically, you cannot refuse a visa for the Secretaryto the Minister of Foreign Affairs. So they gave me a visa, as wellas one to Dr. Tudo, who was my associate. We would go together to dotraining in those days.So, I contacted the doctor and told him that we were coming to givethis talk. They gave me a warning that when we go throughimmigration, they will question us as to why we want to come to thisplace, as it is not a tourist place and there’s nothing for us tovisit once we come. And so, we were told that like that they willquestion you for a long, long time on entry.So, I just sang the song, “Why fear when I am here?” (Laughter) Andwe walked straight through immigration! Nobody saw us. (Laughter) Wewere out within ten minutes. And the organisers weren’t there. Theythought we would be delayed for at least an hour. We were outsidewaiting one hour before they came!Well, finally, they came. They took us to our place where we aregoing to stay. And the next morning, we had a meeting with theleaders of education in Saudi Arabia. They were all so afraid of usbeing there. They said, “You got to be so careful what you say.Because here, you cannot say what you want to say. You have to be socareful.”Then the teachers who were invited to come were also protesting. Theysaid that they will report to the religious police everything we say.In Saudi Arabia, they have police especially for religion. They willprotect their religion. So, they need a lot of police people.Well, again I have to sing, “Why fear when I am here?” (Laughter) "Sosays Sathya Sai Baba, Sathya Sai Baba, Sathya Sai Baba, My Lord."The next day, we had our seminar. The Muslim teachers were all there,trying to catch any mistake that we made.I spoke for three hours. And the Muslim teachers were in tears. Theycame up to me and said, “Is this what we were against? No! This issomething that we really need for our country, for Saudi Arabia.”They were all so happy to hear what we presented to them, which wasthe essence of Sathya Sai Education.And then in the afternoon, Dr. Tudo spoke for another three hours.But this time, there was no problem. Everybody wanted to hear! Themiracle doctor, who is the Danish man, he was lying in the back ofthe lecture hall. He was lying down because he had terminal cancer.It was his last wish in the world that Sathya Sai Education should beheard in Saudi Arabia. And he was in tears as well, because he was sohappy about the whole proceeding. Then two or three days after that,he passed away.So, you see the power of Sathya Sai Baba, getting the education,which is His main mission, to go to every country in the world.TRANSFORMATION OF EMIRATES MINISTER OF EDUCATIONI would just like to tell you another story in another Muslimcountry; this time in United Arab Emirates. We were invited there tospeak at an Indian school. There they don’t mind if we to talk to anIndian school because it is for Indians only. But to make it reallyofficial, they called the Minister of Education to come and open thefunction. His name is Sheikh Nahayan. He came to open the conferenceon Sathya Sai Education in Human Values for teachers.Well, the Sheikh, I met him at the beginning, before we started thefunction. He said that he is a very busy man and he has to go toanother meeting. So he would like to hear me for about 15 minutes, nomore. Then I have to stop so that he can make an exit, so he can goout.So after the opening session, after everybody spoke officially, thenI was asked to speak for 15 minutes. So I went up on stage and SheikhNahayan was sitting in front of me, in front of the audience. I spokefor 15 minutes, and then I stopped and looked at the Sheikh. But theSheikh would not get up. He looked at me and he said, “Go on, go on,go on...” (Laughter)So I continued for another 15 minutes, and then I stopped and lookedat him again. (Laughter) And he would not get up but said, “Go on, goon, go on...” (Laughter) So I had to stop for every 15 minutes, buthe would say, “Go on, go on, go on...” This went on for over threehours! (Laughter)Then the Sheikh asked to go on the stage, asking for the microphone.There he announced publicly that this program was such a greatprogram that he wants all the teachers in United Arab Emirates to betrained.True to his word, three months later, I received an officialinvitation from the United Arab Emirates Education Department to gothere to train the teachers. I was put up in the best hotel in theworld. (Laughter) They claim it is the best hotel in the world. And Ihave never been to such a luxurious hotel in my life. (Laughter)And then, they arranged a big meeting in the government hall. It isreally very big, and there were so many invitees and there were 1500teachers there. 70% of all the teachers who came were Muslims. Butthere were about 30% who were Americans or had come from Europeancountries and so on, to help in the teaching in United Arab Emirates.So, I gave a talk and they were very happy. Since then, I had to goback again to talk to the teachers. During the last session I had inUnited Arab Emirates, not very long ago -- only about three monthsago, Sheikh Nahayan also came to listen. And again Sheikh Nahayan,who is the Minister of Education sat there and listened to all mypresentation.STORY OF THE KING WHO WAS AFRAID OF HIS WIVESYou know, in my presentation I told the story about the king who hadfive wives. You know the story, right? You don’t know the story?!!There was a king who had five wives. And each wife would make a lotof demands: “I want this, I want that.” So they were always askingthe king. And the king was afraid of his wives. He had to go and getthings for the wives, as all the five wives were all very demanding.So the king was not happy. Thus he went to consult his cabinetministers. “What can I do, so that I won’t be afraid of my wives?”But the ministers, as they were all men said, “Sorry, Sire. We cannotadvise you because we are also afraid of our wives!” (Laughter)So they thought, “Let us try to find some man who is not afraid ofhis wife in this kingdom. Then we will consult him as to why he isnot afraid, and he can tell us and advise us.”So, the king invited all the male population to come for a bigmeeting. On that day, they planned to put up a tent for those who areafraid of their wives: Everybody who is afraid of their wife must goto that tent. Then there was to be another tent for those who werenot afraid of their wives. In this way, the men were to be separated.The idea was that they would go to the tent of those who are notafraid of their wives and get advice from the men there.So the big day came. All the male population came for the meeting,but they all went into the tent for those who are afraid of theirwives. Nobody came into the other tent.The king was getting very upset. “Are there no men in this countrywho are not afraid of their wives?” At the last minute, one man didcome to the tent for those who are not afraid. Seeing this, the kingrushed to see that man. The king said, “Tell me your secret. How areyou not afraid of your wife?”But the man said, “Sorry, Sire. I am also afraid of my wife.”The king was very angry and said, “Why did you come into this tent?You have got to go to the other tent!”The man said, “I will not go. You can punish me or you can dowhatever you like; but I won’t go.”So the king asked, “Why? Why won’t you go?”And the man replied, “Because my wife told me to come to this tent!”(Laughter)Swami told this story to all of us in the past. It is to illustratethat we are like the king. The five senses are the five wives. Whenour eyes see something beautiful, the eyes create a desire: “I wantthis, I want that.” And we are afraid of our five senses. We don’tcontrol our five senses. We allow them to control us. So, Swami isurging us to become the king once again, and not the slave of thefive senses. Thus, the first step in our lives is to learn to controlthe five senses.When I told this story to the assembly in United Arab Emirates, theSheikh was laughing and laughing, and he was telling everybody, “InUnited Arab Emirates, we are only allowed four wives!” (Laughter) Hewas joking; he was actually very happy about it.So you see, that is another success story in another Muslim country.And now, I am doing a lot of training in Muslim countries.SATHYA SAI EDUCATION IN INDONESIA AND KAZAKHSTANIn Indonesia, it is very easy as they are very open. Now I’ve got togo and do a series of training for Muslim teachers in Indonesia.Another place where Sathya Sai Education is really spreading isKazakhstan. The original people who lived in Kazakhstan are calledKazakhs. The Kazakhs are Muslims. And again, we were invited by theFirst Lady of Kazakhstan, who is a Kazakh. We started training in allthe regions of the country. I’ve been there six times already.Then last February, the First Lady came here to meet Swami. And theFirst Lady asked me to come, so that we could meet Swami together. SoI came and we had several interviews.Swami looked at me every time He called the Kazakh people. He said,“You are not Kazakh!” (Laughter)Then He told me, “This is only for Kazakhstan.”So I looked sad. (Laughter) Swami looked at me and said, “Alright,alright. You can go in.” (Laughter)So you see, God is not just Father and Mother. Sometimes, you have totreat Him as a Friend. Sometimes, you treat Him as an Elder Brother.But He is also our Father and Mother. As such, He always has a lot ofcompassion and a lot of love for all of us.Another country where we are now really going into is China. China isthe last stronghold of communism. But when I go in there, I see thatthey are becoming very quickly a capitalist country. The wholecountry is changing and they are moving rapidly intoindustrialisation. And because they moved very quickly intomaterialism, they have a lot of problems with their youth. So now,there is a demand for human values there as well.I have already gone into the Guandong Province to train teachersthere. And now, I have got an indication from the Nanjing localauthorities to go and train teachers there as well. And you know howit happened? (Murmurs “no, no” in audience)TRANSFORMATION OF UNESCO OFFICIALYou remember in the year 2000, we had an international conferencehere. When we started arranging the conference, we were working withUNESCO and another university in Australia, Flinders University. TheUNESCO man at that time was not a devotee, but I brought him here tomeet Swami. And Swami called him in for an interview. I tried tofollow as usual. (Laughter)But this time, Swami said, “No, you can’t go in.” No matter how sad Ilooked, (Laughter) He would not allow me to go in. That man came outof the interview room. He had a green ring on, and his face waschanged; he was completely transformed by Swami. He came out and heembraced me, “You are now my brother.” (Laughter)Then he asked me if I had been telling Swami about him, because Swamiknew everything about him! I said that I didn’t know anything abouthis personal life. But Swami was talking about his personal life. Sohe told me what it was about, and he gave me permission to tell allthese stories to everyone.Swami told him, “You are very worried. You are unhappy because yourwife is dying. She has terminal cancer.” But Swami said, “Don’t worryabout it. I will cure her.” And He materialised some vibhuthi andgave it to him to give to his wife. So he was very happy, but hethought that I had told Swami all about his wife. But I didn’t knowanything about this. I had never met his wife, and I didn’t knowanything about all that.So he asked me then, “How does Swami know?”I just smiled. Anyway, he went back, and he gave the vibhuthi to hiswife. A few months later, he invited me to have dinner with thembecause they are based in Bangkok at the regional headquarters ofUNESCO. His wife was perfectly normal, completely cured.TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE EDUCATIONIST IN CONFERENCEUnfortunately, he was moved to another position. He was stationed inBerlin, Germany. So a new person came to take over the work while wewere preparing for the big international conference. There was onlyone month to go before the conference. Then the new man came andsaid, “I don’t know anything about this. I don’t want to haveanything to do with it.”At that time, there were lot of attacks on our organisation. Manypeople wrote to the UNESCO headquarters that they had better cancelall this, that UNESCO should not be involved with the Sathya SaiOrganisation. But UNESCO had already invited everybody from aroundthe world, very important people, and people in the top positions ineducation in every country. They were all going to be coming.Then finally, UNESCO told me, “Sorry, we are pulling out.”But I continued, and we had our conference without UNESCO. The peoplecame from all over the world because they had already been invited;they had got their visas, their air tickets and so on. So, they hadall decided to come. Amongst these people, there were top-levelpeople from China in education. And Swami put them right in front inthe veranda for every darshan.There was this one Chinese educator, educationist. He was sittingthere and he was watching Swami very carefully. After two or threedays, he was so impressed when he saw Swami, and he was completelychanged. He was sitting there on the veranda, doing this: he wasshaking there, and I could see that he was crying. Then after theconference, he contacted me and invited me to go and train teachersthere.CALL FOR WORLD PEACE BY SWAMI’S 90th BIRTHDAYYou know, I have been trying hard to get into China, but I have beenunsuccessful. I have been there. I have tried to talk to people; theyare not interested in outside education. But because of that UNESCOconference, when UNESCO pulled out, we got a lot of very goodcontacts all over the world. Also with Hong Kong, part of mainlandChina, we have a big centre there and we are now helping from HongKong as well. China is now completely open and we are going to gothere more and more and train their teachers.So, now you see how the Sathya Sai Education in Human Values is goingto all corners of the world. And close devotees of Swami arewhispering into my ear that big changes are coming very, very soon.Swami also said very clearly that peace will come sooner than whatyou expect.So, I don’t know if some of you were in the public lecture the otherday. I told everybody that by the 90th birthday, we are going tocelebrate peace in the world. I have been telling everybody that welove Swami so much, why wait for Prema Sai to have peace. Let us workduring this Avatar. And things are really moving at a very fast speednow. You don’t have to change everybody in the world to have peace.You just have to have a little bit more than 50% of love over hatredand negative thoughts -- just a little bit over 50%! Then, there willbe peace in the world!!If you see all the Sathya Sai schools around the world, you will findthat there is so much love there. Some of you may have seen thevideos by Gene Massey. Have you seen them? He goes around the worldtaking videos around the world. And he has said very clearly that hehas seen the beginning of the new age of peace. That’s why Swami isspending so much time with the students and with the professors.Well, that is the story of the changes that are taking place veryrapidly through Education in Human Values.LOVE WILL REDUCE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMINGIn Thailand, in the Sathya Sai School, we are doing the same thing.We are promoting love. The only rule in the Sathya Sai School is therule of love. The children grow a lot of plants. And every time wegrow a plant, we send love to the plant first.Now we are growing rice in a big way in our school. Because I toldeverybody we must be self-sufficient. We must be able to feedeverybody with rice without having to buy from outside. So, manytimes throughout the year, we will go into the paddy fields. Thechildren and the teachers will go into the paddy fields, which arefilled with water and mud. The children love it. And we always startwith a prayer. Then we will recite the Gayatri Mantra. And then, westart to plant the rice.Children love to play in the muddy field. But at the same time, wesend love to all the plants. Well, at one time, (we don’t do it sooften now), the children planted a field and there was a field nextdoor, where the staff and people from outside planted rice. We grewthem at the same time; we planted at the same time. We observed thatwhere the children planted, the rice grew at a much faster rate. Whenthe time of harvesting came, the rice plants were much taller andthere was much more rice harvested from the children’s field.So, love really works. If we give a lot of love, plants will grow. Sothat’s one thing that we really need to do in the world today: tofill the atmosphere of the world with love. Then all the plants,forests and so on will grow at a much faster rate. And this willreduce the effect of the global warming in the world. It will takeaway the carbon dioxide, absorb the carbon dioxide, so that thetemperature will reduce in the world.Right now, because of the warming effect, the ice in the North Poleand South Pole are melting. The other month I was in Nanjing, inChina, to talk about this training of teachers. The scientists therewere measuring the level of the sea water. They now see two to threemillimetres increase in the level of sea water every year.Well, this is going to be a big problem for our world. As the sealevel increases, the weight of the ocean over the earth will alsoincrease. The biggest ocean in the world is the Pacific Ocean. So theearth will become unbalanced because there is more water on one side.On the other side, we have lot of land masses like Asia, Europe andAfrica.What happens is that the world, which is rotating in space, willstart to wobble a little bit. And that will speed up the earth. Theearth crust is divided into plates and is floating around. So we willstart to have a big movement, more and more.By giving out a lot of love, all through the day, then we can lessenthat effect. There’s no need to have a lot of disasters in the world.That’s why the Avatar is here. That’s why we have Sathya Sai schoolsaround the world. That’s why the Sathya Sai Organisation iseverywhere, in every country. That’s why we have a lot of bhajans.Because when we sing bhajans, we are filled with love. So, the wholeorganisation must work hard to produce a lot of love in the world.I took an hour to answer one question! (Laughter) Any other questionsor you want to stop? It’s 11:30.PLANT THE SEED AND IT WILL GROWQuestion: Is it necessary to teach Education in Human Values tochildren below eight years, for example, for only two months, ifafterwards they are not going to continue it any more? Is itworthwhile? Is it necessary?Dr. Jumsai: Why aren’t they continuing?Questioner: Because the teacher will be changed.Dr. Jumsai: In the school?Questioner: She is not talking about a regular school. She wants toknow if it is worthwhile to start the human values.Dr. Jumsai: It is always worthwhile to plant a seed for futuregenerations. But then we should train all the teachers of thecountry. We should never stop with only a few teachers and say,“Aaah, we’ve done our job.” In Thailand, we have trained over 60,000teachers already. And now, we don’t have to train any more teachers.The reason is because they are so interested in the program that theycome and study for themselves. We don’t have to go to them anymore.We have over 200 teachers and educators who come to visit our schoolevery week now. The Ministry of Education recommend to everybody tocome and visit our school. And they are all coming; so we don’t needto go out anymore. This is what we want in every country, so that themovement will spread very quickly.Like Victor Kanu and his Zambia school; now people are coming to seehis school because the school is known as the ‘miracle’ school. Youheard the students of Swami talking in the last few days about howthey have been affected by what is taught in his school. And most ofthem came only for a two-year course. They were not devotees beforethat. So after two years, there’s no more education; they go out intothe world. But the seed has been planted, and they grow and growwherever they are.SWAMI IN FIJI ISLANDS SATHYA SAI SCHOOLSo you ask, “Is it worthwhile to give them Sathya Sai Education orHuman Values education?” I say, “Yes!” Always plant the seed. It willgrow on its own. There was a meeting last week with eminenteducationists. They came for a big meeting here. They were arguing,because most of them are not devotees. They were arguing, “Is itpossible to do the same thing as what Swami has done here in othercountries?”And because they don’t know Swami, they said that it can only takeplace here in Puttaparthi as Swami is physically present here. So Idecided to tell them that it’s not only happening in Puttaparthi. Itis happening in many places. As an example, I gave the example of theFiji Sathya Sai School in Fiji Islands. It is the only place on theFiji Islands where there is no conflict between the Christians andthe Hindus. The children, 50% of each, mix together. They arebrothers and sisters. They are filled with love. I went to visit thatschool in the Fiji Islands. And I saw the best, cleanest toilets inthe whole world. They were burning incense sticks, and they litcandles there, and they worship in the toilet!!So I asked them, “Why? Why worship in the toilet?”They said that one day they saw Swami walking in the school,inspecting the school. Then, Swami walked into the toilet. They allrushed and followed him into the toilet. But Swami had already gone!And because of that, the children decided to come every morning,clean everything, light candles, light incense sticks and pray in thetoilet.So, I gave this as an example to the educators to say that Swami iseverywhere and therefore, we can replicate and copy what is going onhere anywhere. Then they stopped arguing. No more argument afterthat.So, I hope I have answered your question.TALKING TO EDUCATORS IN MEXICOQuestion: For people outside India, how many training institutes arehere?Dr. Jumsai: Well, we have set up institutes of Sathya Sai Education.Now, we have about 30 around the world. And the institutes are set upto train teachers. In Thailand, we also accept people from all overthe world to be trained at our institute. In Thailand, so far we haveabout 60,000 people trained. We have to do it twice a week allthrough the year. But in other countries, they do it maybe once amonth or even less. But now, we have got to do more and more.I travel around a lot, but I cannot do all the training around theworld. It is up to the people in each locality. I have just beenrecently to a Spanish-speaking country -- Mexico. And I gave a bigtalk to about 900 educators there. You know, I was so ill when Iarrived in Mexico. And I had to have some, you know, they sent mesome spiritual healers to heal me. The next day, I was supposed tospeak. But still, the next day I was not feeling very well. So, Icould not really talk. It was very difficult to talk as my mind wasnot clear at all.So I said to Swami in my mind, “You take over this body. You have todo the work. I can’t do it. You have to do it.”And I went onto the stage. I started to speak. There was onetranslator who was translating into Spanish. And then, I didn’t knowwhat I was talking at all. I talked for two hours. And you know thepeople there were so moved by what had been said.One young girl came up and said she had been trying to commit suicidethree or four times, but each time, she did not die. But when shelistened to the talk, somehow her heart was shaking and she wasmoved. And she went to her parents and said, I have decided that I amnot going to kill myself anymore. I am going to live; I am going toserve other people. She was completely changed.And even the organisers of the conference and all the participantssaid that something was moving in their heart. Many people were somoved that they all want to do education in human values. And Ididn’t even know what I was saying!!PEACE WILL COME SOONER THAN WE EXPECTSo, you see that’s the power of Sai everywhere throughout the world.Changing people, we are going to bring about this new age of peace.There will be peace. Swami has promised that it will come sooner thanwhat we expect.Previously, He said there will be peace in the time of Prema Sai. Weknow Swami is here for another 16 years. Then, one year after that,Prema Sai will be born. So, the time of Prema Sai will start 17 yearsfrom now. So, we can expect that in 17 years, there will be peace.But Swami said that peace will come sooner than what you expect. AndHe kept on stressing that it will be very, very, very soon.So, that’s why Sri Indulal Shah announced that we will celebrate the90th birthday as the spiritual regeneration of mankind. And that’swhen we expect that there will be complete peace in the world.DEVELOP A LOVING ATTITUDE -- SEND LOVE INTO THE WORLDQuestion: Sir, yesterday it was said that if more people develop amore loving attitude in the world, Swami would heal Himself. Is ittrue?Dr. Jumsai: I bet! (Laughter) Swami is taking on the karma of theworld. And if there are more positive thoughts, more love in theworld, He does not have to take on any karma. So if all the centresin the world, if the whole organisation filled with love, alwaysradiating love, Swami won’t need to take on any karma. The time isapproaching when He will walk well again, be well again, soon.I will tell you a secret. (Laughter) Yesterday, without any prompting-- I did not ask Swami to go anywhere -- He said to me, “I am goingto Thailand.” But, don’t worry, it doesn’t mean that He will go toThailand only; He will go to many countries. So in order to do that,He has to heal Himself first.I’ll tell you another secret. (Laughter) Yesterday, I asked Swami,“Please, Swami, walk again.”Swami said, “I am walking all the time! As soon as I get back to myroom, I am walking there!” (Laughter) “But outside, the doctors won’tallow me to walk.” (Laughter) “And my students won’t allow me towalk. They are afraid that I will fall again! But I am walking in myapartment.”So He is already healing Himself…almost ready. I am sure by Thursday,He will be walking again. But we must send out a lot of love into theworld. So, pray, and pray and pray and send out love for the wholeworld. He will definitely walk. Remember, it’s a secret! (Laughter)USE LOVE AS THE BASIS FOR ALL ACTIONSQuestion: You spoke in one of the meetings that while training theteachers, instead of reacting from our subconscious, we must reactfrom our human values when relating to other people. Would you pleaseexplain about this?Dr. Jumsai: The subconscious contains all of our past information,anything we have received, anything we have done, anything we havethought; all past experiences are stored in the subconscious. We allreact because of the information, the data that has been stored inour subconscious.So, a child could be aggressive because he uses the subconsciousreaction. It is an automatic reaction, and we cannot control itnormally because it will come out from the subconscious. So, thefirst thing we have to teach our children and all of us is to startto use discrimination.When we receive something, we start to have thoughts automatically.What should we do? The reaction will start. So train yourself andtrain the children to immediately ask two questions:1. Is it good for me?2. Is it good for everybody?If it passes these two questions, these two tests, then by all means,react to it. We call this, or Swami tells us that this is what Hecalls ‘fundamental discrimination’. And it should be taught when theyare really young, so that they will always use fundamentaldiscrimination.At the same time, before reacting to anything, apply the humanvalues. Use love. Love should be the main thing that we use for anyreaction. So, love has to be the basis for all our actions and thatwill appear as human value till we get rid of the negativity that isin our subconscious.So, the next thing you need to do is to raise the consciousnesstowards God. Then we start to contact the higher consciousness, whichis there in all of us. That is where we have our conscience thattells us, ‘this is good’ or ‘this is bad’. Then we don’t need to relyon our subconscious anymore because now we will get guidance fromGod. And our life will be transformed completely as a result.So we have to practice and practice meditation. Practice going intothe silence, because that is where God is. It should be done everyday.I am afraid it is past 12:00. I am leaving today.
