Mahayoga, last.

[Guest guest]

Dear Yogies, dear Vinoth,

 

 

I've been put this question: " What is Love? " .

 

Ghazali once said: " You cannot prove the existence of God, but you

can prove that God is there to be discovered " . There is no definition

of Love (or even love), but you can define the process through which

It manifests:

 

Love is, when you wish something in the depth of your Self and She

hears it. She knows best what it is and what to do about it. And,

when you trust Her and thus concentrate on letting Her do the work...

and watch Her, the abstraction, which caused the wish in the first

place, is eventually dissolved. That is, in the Ocean of Love, which

is the only thing that really exists and has no end. It is achieved

through Yoga with Shiva and Submission to Shakti.

 

- " Is the world really full of my brothers and sisters? "

 

It should be baffling to think that our method is actually the only

one able to cure the incurable diseases. That we are the only ones

able to destroy any negativity simply through shoe-beating etc. What

are we doing?

 

There are many nice people in this world who possess Madhuria or

Sankoch. But none besides the Sehejees can speak so openly at any

time, expressing the most intimate emotions, from the whole of their

hearts.

 

Why? Is it because they wouldn't want to? Or is it because they have

none to speak to this way? How is the world going to discover the

brotherhood of Sahaj unless through the Sahaj? It's a question of

time and patience, isn't it?

 

(With love for brother " Hamza " )

 

 

 

To brother Trikon:

 

 

I see my mistake now. Ishmael is right. Look here:

 

In Sufism (Islamic mysticism) they say that the Jihad has to be both

outwards as well as inwards. Accordingly, there are always two faces

of the three stages:

 

1. `Iemaan' ( " faith " ) which manifests as `Sharee-ah' ( " law " , i.e. the

Ten Commandments).

2. `Islaam' ( " surrender " ) --||-- `Tareeqah' ( " path " , i.e. daily

Sadhana).

3. `Ihsaan' ( " fulfillment " ) --||-- `Haqeeqah' ( " truth " , i.e. Moksha).

 

Between 2 and 3 there is the `irfaan' ( " jnana " ), i.e. the Sahaja Yoga

of Kabira, Nanaka, Ramana Maharshi.

 

At the time of Christ seekers were already familiar with Sri Buddha's

tenet about the `bodha' ( " enlightened consciousness " , i.e. direct

experience) fulfilling the `sangha' ( " collective consciousness " , i.e.

mutual respect and forgiveness), based on the `dhamma' ( " universal

Truth " , i.e. uncompromized inner sense of justice). Some would say,

it was our Lord Jesus Christ's meaning to further elaborate on that

for the sake of our even further evolution, when He proclaimed " I am

the Way, the Truth and the Light " .

 

It's a known fact in Sahaj that the most pious among Muslims, just

like with Hindus, would feel the Cool Breeze at once only by

stretching their hand-palms towards Mother's photo.

 

And Shri Mataji does explain that the outer religion becomes an

inner – " automatically you start doing what is right. I don't need to

tell you " . But even at that point there is room to go beyond, " beyond

all dharma " .

 

And that " beyond " (i.e. #4) is what you were inquiring about. But of

that there are no traces left in this world other than mythological

tales of Men becoming constellations of stars, and of some " Cosmic

All-pervading Consciousnesses " reluctantly becoming Men (we call it

incarnating).

 

You see, the latter is like if you meditate and somebody is talking

to you. You can hear the person much clearly and could think of

thousands of ways of answering, but you choose not to. Because you're

in the process of observing your own kundalini opening your chakras

or working out a catch somewhere, which requires your attention. If

you have a tooth pulled out, you close your eyes, gather your

strength and focus – one moment and only then you exhale in relief.

But the person who was talking to you didn't have the chance to

understand whether you heard him or not, whether you were mobbing him

by not answering or not.

 

In the same way, Master Lao-tzu has explained " Everything – including

mountains and the Earth [but not humans] – rests in meditation " .

And " though everything strives for harmony, there seems to be a quite

seeming indifference about Mother Nature towards ordinary human

suffering " .

 

But when we become one with that type of consciousness (which is

termed " Mahayoga " ), we become aware of the universe in its entirety,

because we feel " both as large as the cosmos and as small as an atom "

(and that is also why " a wiseman can observe the whole world simply

from the chair of his room " ).

 

Hazrat Mevlana Rumi has said " God doesn't answer prayers in the same

moment, because then you would take it for granted " . The kundalini

will rise above your Sahasrara, but only in a manner of a spontaneous

reaction. She doesn't obey commands of the head – only the longing of

the heart.

 

A star pulsates and is conscious, but it doesn't intend to become

like a human and start talking just so that we could see that it is

conscious. But Mother has done it. " It's the hardest thing, but I

have done it " (and willingly, we might add). So that we may do it the

other way.

 

But the truth is that it is not like there's an A and we have to get

to the Z. Rather it is that there are no letters at all. But we have

to use them as long as we have to use speech and thinking. So despite

the second being prior to the first, linguistically we would have to

say that the `maya' exists only so that there could be a Maha-maya.

Which again is still a role, a " face " , of that which " neither is nor

isn't " .

 

 

And Mother has said: " There is no time left. It has gone beyond

Sahaja Yoga. It is now about Mahayoga! " .
