Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Dear readers, Yes, it is difficult to know the relationship between garlic arriving from the bottom of the Indian Ocean, Ganesha taking a short nap on Mars to have His portrait drawn, and humans taking part in the Resurrection on Earth. So let's get serious with a little enlightenment before humoring ourselves, only to end with a somber note. 1. I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; 2. And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit. In order to comprehend the opening lines of surah Al-Qiyamah, the critical words " witness " and " self-reproaching Spirit " must be first understood. " witness 1 an attesting of a fact, statement, etc,; evidence; testimony 2 a person who saw, or can give a firsthand account of something 3 a person who testifies in court 4 a person called upon to observe a transaction, signature, etc, in order to testify concerning it if it is later held in question 5 something providing or serving as evidence — vt. 1 to testify to 2 to serve as evidence of 3 to act as witness of, often, in proof thereof, signing a statement that one has done so 4 to be present at, see personally. " reproach vt. 1 to accuse of and blame for a fault so as to make feel ashamed; rebuke; reprove 2 to bring shame and disgrace upon; be a cause of discredit to — n. 1 shame, disgrace, discredit, or blame, or source, cause, or occasion of this 2 a blaming or reproving; rebuke 3 an expression of blame or reproof 4 an object of blame, censure, scorn, etc. " Webster New World Dictionary (Webster New World Dictionary, Third College Ed., Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1988.) Spirit: The word translated here as spirit, rûh, comes from the same root as râhah. It is also related to rîh, which means 'wind', mirwahah, meaning 'fan', and istirwâh which means 'respiration'. The term " Spirit " translates the Hebrew word ruah, which, in its primary sense, means 'breath', 'air', 'wind'. Jesus indeed uses the sensory image of the wind to suggest to Nicodemus the transcendent newness of him who is personally God's breath, the divine Spirit. " (Jn 3:5-8.) " The words " vibrations " and " cool breeze " are used to imply the same meaning. For those wishing to comprehend the awesome reality and deep mysticism of the Last Judgment and Al-Qiyamah it is vital that these meanings are imbibed and remembered at all times. This is but a tiny fraction of Shri Mataji's teachings. Shri Mataji has given us so much knowledge and enlightenment that powerful religious organizations are powerless to dispute Her message. But what is the point of all that when we are still learning that garlic was originally churned from the oceans, and that someone drew a caricature of Shri Ganesha on Mars for the benefit of SYs? ....... ............. i mean with a really big brush but insultingly scant attention to accuracy and detail. And let us not forget that Ganesha first manifested Himself as a grotesque radish in a SY's backyard, perhaps to put faith in the hearts of the naive and embarrassingly innocent. i am sure some of us have begun to pay more attention to ordinary vegetables at the local market. Who knows who will be the next lucky SY. By the way, does anyone know if the original Ganesh radish was made into salad or a spicy vegetable dish. i really hope not because the Gods are going to be really angry at those SYs who ate their favorite deity. So is this the way we SYs are going to enlighten humanity about the Last Judgment and Al-Qiyamah? Do these events and sightings generate hyperventilating excitement and intellectual discussions over countless chai sessions and shoe-beating marathons. (Have we forgotten that anti-Adi Shakti elements have used such public announcements to tarnish and question the very self-realization of SYs.) Sahaja Yoga remains almost unheard to 99.99% of humanity (subject to verification of my atrocious maths). Is anyone surprised that we are hardly making any headway, despite having the full force of Shri Mataji's advent behind us? Read my lips: F...O...R T...H...E L...A...S...T T...H...R...E...E D...E...C...A...D...E...S! Let me give you a single fact that may ruin today's sunny Sunday and make Monday even more miserable for those who loathe their jobs: The Montreal collective have been unable to attract even a single seeker for the last few years. Does this by any chance reflect the state of the North American collective and is cause for genuine concern? jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagbir, I have this question -- and I've been wondering for some time now: Have you tried this for yourself, namely to present SY " for what it is " other than on the web and see whether it makes any difference in atracting seekers? And isn't giving SR as far and as wide as possible by now (year 2004) more important for the sake of an improved world consciousness than 'spreading' SY? And what IS the actual hurry if there is no " immanent Doomsday " anyway? Namaste f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
