Seekers not staying in Sahaja

[Guest guest]

Namaste All !

 

I have been following this excellent forum with great interest and

whilst not actively attending SY meetings, here is a response to a

recent message posted by Jagbir, where you present a view on why

people may withdraw from being active/present in the Sahaja

collective.

 

A few years ago when I stopped attending SY meetings, I considered

myself in the category of people " turned off " by what I perceived as

shortcomings of other established Sahaja Yogis , but now I feel there

are other views on why seekers don't stay in Sahaja.

 

In retrospection, and in light of all knowledge encountered on the

topic so far, I would like to suggest that it may be a good thing for

all when people don't stay.

 

That is, if a seeker leaves a SY collective because they apparently

have a problem with the behaviour of an established yogi, then

perhaps issues over etiquette or protocol need to be addressed, or

perhaps life is just happening as it needs to, for the good of all?

 

Mother works through those who love her, such as all Sahaji's. I dont

think there are good Sahaji's or bad Sahaji's, you either know Her or

you do not, and there are things you cannot know or learn when

cloistered in the safe, secure collective.

 

There are many paths and many mysteries. If a seeker has strong

faith with the Divine and that seeker feels strongly that it is

appropriate to take another path other than Sahaja Yoga, then it is

ok for that person to do what they feel is right for them (and

possible what is good for the collective at the same time), and it

may not be simply just a problem in another yogi or in the

collective, but a really big maya.

 

Perhaps some seekers, such as this woman here, need to seek

further/deeper, outside the apparent collective, to resolve catches

and other issues unknown to anyone except the Divine, even after they

have sought and found Mother and recognise Her as AdiShakti.

 

Jai Shri Nirmala Devi !

 

It's quite good that I left the collective when I did, several years

ago, because it has brought me to this point where my changes in

geographic location/s and social scenarios has been accompanied by

gaining a little more spiritual clarity.

 

Whatever happens to us, wherever we find ourselves going, whether or

not we have other Yogis or seekers physically around us, if we are

strong and clear in our relationship with the Divine, and always

check ourselves before others,and so allow the Divine to work through

us as we should, then everything will work out ok.

 

Even though I dropped out on the physical plane from Sahaja

activities, faith and love have been strong in me, because I have

known that this body was exactly where Mother intended it to be. How

can it be otherwise? (not a rhetorical question)

 

Well, as mentioned above, perhaps the issues of etiquette and

protocol may need to be addressed within a collective, but if this

doesnt happen automatically when new seekers start apparently

dropping out because of others, that doesn't necessarily make the

lack of a collective reaction/response to people going or falling

away a bad thing, does it? I feel we have to trust AdiShakti above

all, especially above our conditionings (if we aware of them!).

 

Hopefully, this is not too in your face, being from a drop-out

:-)) , but I've been waiting for days to be able to post a message

with, perhaps, something useful to others.

 

Or am I justifying being a little lazy for the last few years, until

things had gotten a bit more dangerous?

 

Whatever, I'm keen to discuss this some more if anyone else is?

 

with love,

 

Kerry.
