Yes, that is true Sampa. All over the world the problem is the same.

The official SY websites and policy is to announce the subtle system

and self-realization, not Imam Mahdi and Qiyamah.

 

Peter C. Emberley's, Searching for Purpose, hammers in yet another

nail in our collective coffin of failure, an abject failure to

communicate Shri Mataji's advent to enlighten humans about the

purpose, meaning of life and the promised Blossom Time. It is a

timely reminder to our leaders of how much they have lost touch with

religious and spiritual reality; that their subtle system public

programs actually hinder and handicap the spread of Sahaja Yoga. They

have failed to realize that people are searching for purpose, the

meaning of life and human existence.

 

Hundreds of thousands who were seeking answers to life will not come

back to Sahaja Yoga because, given the impression it is all about

chakras and subtle system, they have left without knowing who Shri

Mataji is and what is Her message. We have no idea how many others

they have in turn discouraged about joining Sahaja Yoga.

 

The next time any of these people looking for spiritual enlightenment

come across Sahaja Yoga they will just ignore it. After all, it is

only about some subtle system taught by some guru. This is truly a

great loss that can never be justified, no matter how eloquent the

reasoning.

 

Yesterday i met a SYogini and we began talking about Shri Mataji. She

told me that she stayed on because from the very beginning she kept

asking: " Is She is One? " The SYs were reluctant to tell her the truth

but she persisted. Then, when told that Shri Mataji is indeed the

promised Messiah, this SYogini plunged fully into Sahaja Yoga. If the

truth was not revealed chances are she would have left.

 

But this story has an ironic twist that reflects how the official

policy of spreading Sahaja Yoga actually works against it.

 

This SYogini learnt much about Sahaja Yoga. Then came her intense

desire to spread Sahaja Yoga, which myself witnessed was done with

passionate dedication and strict adherence to rules. Remember the

story of the Polish lady who, after experiencing Shri Mataji helping

her, began asking who Shri Mataji was? She kept asking the Montreal

collective to tell her the truth about Shri Mataji. But this SYogini

never budged from official policy and refused to reveal for fear that

this new seeker would flee Sahaja Yoga.

 

We never saw the Polish lady again, and all others as well. (The

Montreal collective have not been able to gain even a single seeker

for the last eight years, which reflects the generally stagnant state

of Sahaja Yoga in North America.)

 

What i am trying to say is that SYs are so conditioned by the

official subtle system policy that they become immune to common

sense, even failing to realize what made them believe in Shri Mataji

in the first place. Many of us have become devotees of Shri Mataji

because She is the Adi Shakti, the promised Messiah to usher

the Gold Age of the Last Judgment and Resurrection. This is the

paramount, and perhaps for people like me, the only reason to learn

about Sahaja Yoga. (i give two hoots to the subtle system because i

want to know about God Almighty, Adi Shakti, Last Judgment, Qiyamah,

spirit, eternal life, Bible, Koran, Vedas etc. There are 1001 gurus

who can teach me about chakras and subtle system. Only the Adi Shakti

can teach me about enlightenment leading to moksa!)

 

Yet when it comes to new people SYs expect them to stay. And when

they leave we find all kinds of excuses and scapegoats. This is just

pathetic. Can't we recall why we joined years ago? When will all this

decades-old subtle system leading to waste of time, energy, money and

seekers end? When will our leaders realize that there is no danger in

communicating Shri Mataji's advent, that seekers must be enlighten

about the purpose, meaning of life and the chance of salvation

through the promised Last Judgment and Qiyamah. For how long will

they resist telling humankind the truth of Shri Mataji's sole purpose

on Earth? (The 30 world leaders handed the task of spreading Sahaja

Yoga are gathering for the first time this Guru Puja before Shri

Mataji. We will wait to see the outcome.)

 

Just a small thought before i end. All of you must have heard this

proverb: You can lead a camel to the water but you cannot make it

drink. i have actually solved the problem: Just wait patiently for

the camel to become thirsty. So just wait patiently until

this chakra charade advertising " Reduce stress through Sahaja Yoga "

becomes untenable. The camel WILL eventually drink the water ......

....... or die of thirst.

dear jagbir,

I agree with you fully that,as confessed follower of

mataji,how could we failed to see the bigger and true purpose of our

founder.Trough sy,we should have clarity of mimd and courage beyond

selfishness to propagate matagi's declaration .HOW can we merge with

the cosmic if even planet earth is roo big a problem to sy
