Evangelism or concern for others?

[Guest guest]

Dear SAS members, Aunty Lyndal, Jagbir and others,

 

 

I've waited long to say something:

 

I have noticed that those among us, who are dairy and sincere in

their desire to spread SY, take heed and seriously consider Jagbir'

challenge to start announcing the Last Judgement. And yet because of

that find themselves a bit confused over this idea.

 

The experienced ones say that it is not in our nature as humble

seekers to force ourselves through the minds of the public, when it

is solely the personal experience and the realisation of the heart,

which moreover can only be passed on by those of the conviction of

the heart, that leaves an everlasting impression on the audience,

seeker or not.

 

adishakti.org is a wonderful website, whose main use for the future

would seem to be educating the newly realised masses. But so far some

might argue that it is likely that more people have received their SR

upon having visited the official website, rather than Jagbir's or

Gregoire's, for that matter (and though this is a bit exaggerated, I

hope you get my point).

 

 

My opinion on this matter is that this is only another case of Shabda

Jalam, confusion of words, between Sys.

 

The reason is basically twofold:

 

1. Jagbir speaks out of the religious mentality of his own background

(a Sikh grown up in a modern Muslim society) and;

2. In his own capacity as a scholar.

 

For it is absolutely true that:

 

1. Muslims do just sit and await for somebody to start announcing the

Qiyamat and the arrival of the Mahdi.

 

However, because of the unfavourable political situation this cannot

happen more openly yet. The Muslim world is, after all, one cultural

unit, so if one thing appears at one of its corners, it has to spread

at once to the other. It is most probable that the Muslim world will

be the last place to hear the News, but because of its spiritual

awareness will accept it instantly on a mass level, whereas the

Western world would still be struggling to comprehend the whole point

of spiritual ascent (which is the price for having been the first to

hear and receive few but strong yogis).

 

So in order for a suspicious seeker of Muslim background to stay in

SY and become just as pious in his daily meditation and devotion to

Shri Mataji as in his previous ritualistic lifestyle, he has to be

simply informed of the true essence of SY as being the `Ihsan', i.e.

fulfilment of Islam, and HHSM being the Mahdi, directly upon his SR.

 

 

2. If the junkies were the first to come, scholars (including those

of religion) will be the very last ones. Unless the mind of the

scholar is satisfied and the new knowledge made fit within the

context of his earlier gathered info and constructed systems, he

cannot move on further to open up his heart. This was actually what

happened to me (short but long story) and, I reckon, even to Jagbir.

 

A forceful way of proofs and argumentation may be at times very

effective with people like that, and sometimes the only way.

Ultimately it is the combination of both the impressive clear

reasoning of the mind of a Syi as well as his/her unusual self-

confidence and joy that make the mental ones elaborate twice before

going back to the dull but comfortable everyday life (however, this

time with a memory that might at times resurface).

 

 

So I do not see any particular fault with Jagbir's approach, except

that he might be forgetting one thing, the very same thing that we

forget as well when listening to him: what he is doing is because of

what his intuition, impulse or inspiration tells him to do, and that

different people have different such impulses.

 

I can tell you that being here in Sweden I can see clearly the way SY

would soon spread everywhere here and the rest of Europe (well, not

necessarily SY, but, say, en-masse SR, which one day might be easier

to do here than in Russia or India). This place, just like Jagbir's

Canada, is a country of the Right Vishuddhi -- no amount of talk will

ever get you anywhere. And yet from here you might make yourself

heard to the rest of the world.

 

It is amazing to see how a few tunes of music can make these people

relax at once (though it's highly tense otherwise) and smile widely

like small children only after minutes.

 

Those in the greatest danger zone here are the young and the

teenagers, because they don't know the Truth. But if anybody is

seeking anything here, it is they. What is it that makes them go to

all these rock and hip-hop concerts and jump like crazy? It is the

sensation of their own Kundalini trying to rise!

 

Imagine, here everybody you meet would ask you " what do you listen

to? " . But in India they would say " whom do you worship? " . A few years

ago there were some Hare-Krsna punk rock bands that made the notion

of spirituality into something cool among the 14-year-olds. In the

same way, one day it will be cooler to be a Yuva Shakti warrior and

go around with Shri Mataji T-shirts, thinking that everything else is

woossy, than to be a skater, skinhead or train karate, before this

would grow into a real SY.

 

So what would be the magic trick?

 

An average good Kavali group that enjoys tirelessly travelling around

between summer festivals for weeks and months, always joined by local

Sys where they come, and teaching a totally new form and concept of

collective enjoyment in music, i.e. that the people in the audience

and on the stage are not two different entities, but all are supposed

to sing together (and if otherwise you should not express stronger

emotions, here the point is a total spontaneity and openness of

heart, the more unrestrained the better), allowing a new discovery:

that the ONLY true purpose of music is clearing out the Subtle

System, which is far better than alcohol.

 

Then it would take only some time before all these bhajans, ragas,

kavalis and the whole new trend would become widely popular with

young people and, ultimately, the rest of the society, as this sort

of music doesn't require the understanding of a certain generation

etc.

 

 

But simply talking about strange religious stuff, such as

Resurrection and Doomsday, causes a bit of a problem. Spirituality

may be hip, but the Bible and the Koran are tales of entertainment of

the past. How can you talk of the Last Judgement with somebody who

hasn't even had SR? How can anybody feel he has had SR after having

attended a couple of once-a-week programs? How can you talk of these

things in a society that doesn't have the basic traditional

understanding of the civilisation having a concrete purpose and the

evolution moving not randomly but towards a goal?

 

Basically such issues can only be discussed with sincere seekers of

Truth. And in that regard I agree that it is dishonest not to provide

them with the full information. But as far as I can remember, I

myself felt this way only in the first months after coming into

contact with a local collective.

 

 

The misunderstanding I am talking about here, is that the time might

very well be ripe to start addressing the people who are supposed to

be the experts on these issues, clerics and scholars, the self-

proclaimed keepers of this knowledge. But it does it mean going to a

local church, requesting to hold a lecture?

 

 

Thank you, everybody. I am looking forward for a feedback and would

like to hear different viewpoints on this issue.

 

 

Jai Shri Mataji!
