Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I dont know why, but i think that people are intentionally not replying to my mail (ref: all the things about - have i crossed sahastrara or not, the feeling that something is blooming on my head) Even the last time I was really wondering what (just out of 'pure' intellectual curiosity) happens if someone puts heat on the right heart. (Courtesy: zenyogi)Of course jagbir, you had did drive a point through that i should not waste time with these things....what choice do i have anyways. Even at the temple, if i ask anyone anything, they say just leave it to mother. i.e A month or so ago, i felt this huge ball of heat behind my nose, and it was causing great discomfort. I was under the impression that its a blockage on the path of the kundalini, and nobody would give me a solution. A month or so before that, i used to get pains on the sides of my head, sometimes in front sometimes at the back...phew!! That almost almost got me panicky. Again i thought it must be the seats of the chakras that are reacting to something, maybe my own negative thought patterns. Someone told me that those were the baloons of the ego and superego that have since subsided.....maybe its true...but what if it had been a physical problem! I just dont understand what the big secret is about!!! I get mails all the time from ex-sahaja yogis who give me facts and figures on why i should quit. But i havent. In fact i write to them, trying to explain esoteric philosophy to them, and try to convince them not to waste a lifetime in frivilous things....to get back into sahaj. Call it a change in nature induced by Mataji, or call it anything. Maybe its an inherent trait that I am concerned for those who get lost on the path. Jagbir...gulp..im out this time...arent I ?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Alex why do you think that people are intentionally not replying to ur mail? You are free to wonder anything out of " pure intellectual curiosity " and even subject anyone on this forum or in your collective to your " pure intellectual curiosity " but do not expect an answer to each and every one of your " pure intellectual curiosity " .No one has all the answers. I also had some " pure intellectual curiosity " early on but then I somehow knew which were worth pursuing and which are just plain " imagination " of my own.Also after a while if you mix with the collective you will know who can give you proper explainations to your " pure intellectual curiosity " if you must have the answers.I always believed nobody owed me a solution/remedy to my problems/curiosity and still do so.There is no secret ........... sometimes no one has the answers, sometimes you get the answers as you progress in your ascent. If you cannot surrender it all to Mother and at the same time are fearful that what you are going thru maybe a physical problem you would be better off being re-assured by a medical doctor. I have friends who are ex-SYogi/nis but they never ever tell me to leave SYoga.Since you are still struggling it is best to stop discussiing SYoga with those telling you to leave for a certain period of time.They have left for their own reasons and I know people leave for the most absurd of reasons - due to another SYogi (equivalent to Lord Jesus's disciples forsaking Him due to Judas Iscariot), pressure to marry within SYoga(which I believe is non- existent since I never experienced it and have yet to come across anyone having experienced it), lies about Mother[no point discussing lies ] etc etc So meditate twice a day , read/listen Shree Mataji's talks and ask yourself whether the " pure intellectual curiosity " is top priority or becoming more grounded in SYoga knowledge is. As a last resort , you may want to go to SYIH at Belapur to really get yourself going in SYoga if everything else fails(the ex-SYogis will tell you that it is a ploy to make money for SYoga......... ha! ha!).

So you are offended by " pure intellectual curiosity " , which Balwinder himself admitted confused him as the infinite range of questions requiring answers can make even advanced gurus sick ............ of the questions and the person asking. Have you really met a guru who will answer the " pure intellectual curiosity " of their ignorant disciples? So your question was whether your kundalini crossed the Sahasrara? After so many months in Sahaja Yoga you are asking this dumb question. It is just like doubting yourself if you were given human birth ................ or bought off a supermarket shelf. Haven't you realized yet that from the very moment you were given self- realization your kundalini DID CROSS THE SAHASRARA?!!!! ............. even if just a single strand made it. You mean you are still in the dark? All these months your Mother Kundalini has been working really hard to heal you, and that is why you are still feeling the problems. i don't know but your past must have been one hell of a one-night- stand, and that is why you are still not stabilizing. (Now don't crucify me on this one-night-stand because i enjoyed similar days before Shri Mataji turned an animal like me into a human being.) However, if you still persist in satisfying your " pure intellectual curiosity " then you have another thing coming. Your Agnya will only increase reacting and answers will like a hydra divide itself into more questions. There is no end to this " pure intellectual curiosity " that you are seeking from SYs. We are all trying to cease this useless mental chatter in our minds and seek answers from the Divine Silence. So why are you trying to get suspect answers from mere humans when the Divine can answer all your can throw ........... provided you learn to pose your answers in a humble, dignified manner. But if you have any physical problems just go and see a doctor. Do your consider Dr. Balwinder's request you do so an insult?!!!!! i just cannot believe you feel offended by everything he has told you because i would have given you similar advise .............. and not take your Bata shoe and find a nice spot to beat the ground. He is a doctor Alex, for crying out loud. Your physical complaints may just turn out to be, Shri Mataji forbid, a cause for concern: " I dont even want to imagine the total cost and trauma associated with a CAT scan/MRI and specialist fees in trying to figure out if im dying of a brain tumor!! " Howver, the preliminary examination may be just turn out to be a small pimple growing on your head, and you will be really relieved that you do not have a brain tumor .......... or need to pay 92,000 rupees. So why flog him for trying to honestly help you? i have no problems about you enlightening those against Shri Mataji with esoteric essays and kundalini courses. Remember Jesus' parable about casting pearls before swine? And regarding the snail-pace spread of Sahaja Yoga. Everything will turn out just fine in the future. She has just begun to recede from Her external physical form and turning attention to Her internal, eternal spiritual reality as the Maha-Devi, Shri Lalita, Divine Mother - the Shakti of All. Everything is just proceeding perfectly! jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Alex You have a very humble way of adressing this forum and it is to your advantage. Remember, there is no one higher or lower in sahaja yoga. The Adi Shakti will be subtle and not scare you. When the kundalini enlightens a thousands petals, it has a thousands ways of doing it. Every time you will go into a state of thoughtless awareness, you will experience it's enlightening nature. Just enjoy!

This is one of the main reasons this forum has been set up i.e., allow newcomers to ascend faster than going through all that hurdles and obstacles many encounter. But a more pressing reason is to prevent them from getting conditioned and fearful of negativity and all that pettiness. Don't call me a guru because by doing so you just confirm yourself to be a lesser being. Answering questions does not make one a guru. i am just giving you advise and options that you must cross-examine with your own discretion. What i know is just what my Guru within has taught me. The same Guru also can teach you if you care to meditate and reach a deeper state of consciousness than others. > > 'pure intellectual curiosity' -Bata shoe works, its a > method suggested by mataji to combat ego. If you > symbolize it to beating yourself with shoes, you will > perhaps be kind to neophyte sajhaj yogis > SYs use shoe-beating for destroying the ego far less than getting rid of catches and negativity. i am just telling you to spare your shoes and instead harness the vast powers of the Mother Kundalini within. Why follow temple priests to journey a hundred miles when mystics can teach you how to reach that destination without even taking a step? > 'pure intellectual curiosity' -As for the parable on > casting pearls before swine...well what can i > say...they are seekers too.

How can you clear the doubts of those who claim to be incarnations of Shri Vishnu etc, and get thrown out of Sahaja Yoga? Why waste so much energy on swine when you can enlighten genuine seekers? It is better a SY happily meditating in a temple, even leaving Sahaja Yoga, than a disgruntled one disturbing the whole collectivity. > 'pure intellectual curiosity' can we please have peace > now. I got all my answers. Thank you and may the > divine blessings ensure a fun weekend. > Alex, we are all here to learn and progress, and that uncludes myself. i sure have learnt from this forum and that is going to help me check my bearings and move in the right direction. Sure some feathers are going to be ruffled. i for one will not sweeten my words and try to woo you to stay in Sahaja Yoga. If you want honest answers the truth may just hurt. So better the truth that hurts today so that tomorrow you will enjoy the freedom of being your own guru. i really, REALLY want you and all SYs to be inner mystics rather than external priests. So don't be offended in any way. jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case your sarcasm came shining through. Your constant and incessant use of my 'pure intellectual curiosity' is indeed commendable. After going through so many of mothers lectures, I am sure you must be one of the advanced sahaj yogis who have developed sarcasm as one of the divine qulaities reflected in the devas. Balwinder: I do not consider myself advanced sahaja yogi. As for sarcasm ........ I am sorry that you feel that way since no sarcasm was meant. True to my expectation, I did not get one single answer. Oh well, if such is our expectation then such will be the result I can only wonder what the other sahaj yogis are going to say in response (my expectation is heading south from sarcastic to ascerbic). Anyways, thank you for the reply. I gather that your answer was a)You dont know Balwinder: Jagbir has already answered most if not all your questions. b) I should go to Belapur (To find out if my kundalini has crossed the sahastrar!!!!!!!) Balwinder: I wonder how you reached to that conclusion.All I wrote was " As a last resort , you may want to go to SYIH at Belapur to really get yourself going in SYoga if everything else fails " .As for crossing the Sahasrara , it happened the day you got your Self realization (as Jagbir mentioned and any SYogi/ni will tell you) – I am very surprised that you actually want to know that since everyone is told that on the very day they get their SR. c)Dont expect replies on a forum Balwinder: I wonder how you reached to that conclusion.You can expect replies but IMHO you should refrain from saying " that people are intentionally not replying to my mail " when only a few people reply or you get few replies.IMHO I seriously doubt any SYogi/ni is intentionally not relpying your mail. d)If I feel something perfectly natural, I should rush to a doctor to console myself Balwinder: I wonder how you reached to that conclusion. You said that " A month or so before that, i used to get pains on the sides of my head, sometimes in front sometimes at the back...phew!! That almost almost got me panicky. Again i thought it must be the seats of the chakras that are reacting to something, maybe my own negative thought patterns. Someone told me that those were the balloons of the ego and superego that have since subsided.....maybe its true...but what if it had been a physical problem! " You are talking about your head/brain and sound seriously concerned and are not talking about something perfectly normal, you are doubting (maybe its true but what if) - You seek medical advise when in doubt about it being a physical problem.I would rather advise SYogi/nis who doubt about something being a physical problem to seek medical opinion than them later blaming SYoga(for delay or not seeking treatment) if it really turns out to be a medical problem.Here you were doubting whether you had a physical problem in your head.I know it has passed but in future too the advise is the same - when in doubt whether you have a physical problem and no one can clear your doubt , seek medical opinion. After reading the following remainder of your mail , I cannot understand why you are accusing me of " you must be one of the advanced sahaj yogis who have developed sarcasm as one of the divine qulaities reflected in the devas " .Please do not (1)confuse years in SYoga as measure of advancement in ascent (2)confuse genuine advise as sarcasm even if it is not something that you expected to hear.This reaction could just be the very reason people refrain from replying to your mails - IMHO.
