i have no idea what SYs think about providing evidence of Shri

Mataji's divinity and message to humanity. This quote from a

disillusioned seeker may be helpful in gauging the deep hole we are

still digging ourselves into and, despite three decades of Self-

realization, do not seem to understand and learn from endless

failures:

 

" In the past year I have become increasingly aware of how widespread

abuse in religious/spiritual organisations really is and it's been

quite an eye opener. Joseph Campbell has said that humanity is

entering the age of the spirit. Many social norms and power

structures seem to be breaking down and the public appear

increasingly cynical about our established institutions. Perhaps we

are entering a time of greater authenticity and freedom, a time in

which the truth about matters is increasingly revealed. Although,

the old patterns are fighting hard for survival against the winds of

change.

 

I agree with cp3 that the relationship between guru and disciple is

susceptible to many temptations and distortions. When Jesus warned,

" Many will come claiming to be me, but don't follow them " , I think he

was articulating a deep truth that the real master lies only within. "

 

 

If SYs do not articulate the deep truth that the real master lies

only within there is no way of making progress. Sahaja Yoga will

retain its " What yoga is that? " status and Shri Mataji an obscure " I

have never heard of her " guru.

 

The problem is that i am having so much difficulty waking up this

snoring dinosaur to face the formidable challenges of the 21st

century. Why all this apathy and lack of co-operation to articulate

the deep truth that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is the incarnation of

Shri Lalita Devi, the Shakti within?

 

That reminds me of a joke i heard a few days ago that can be

improvished and cracked in many ways.

 

A group of dock workers were unloading a large shipment of crabs from

all over the world. One of them noticed that unlike the " Amma " , " Sai

Baba " , " Osho " and " Yogi Bhajan " brand of containers, only the " SY "

brand were not sealed. He was puzzled by this and asked others why

the SY crabs, despite their containers not being sealed, were not

escaping to freedom .............. or were not capable of doing so.

 

None knew the answer despite curious observation.

 

Then the foreman, seeing the workers idling, came around.

 

They gave him the reason for this unauthorized break and sought

answers from this experienced boss of the longshoremen.

 

He said it was due to a trait peculiar of SY crabs. Unlike the Amma,

Sai Baba, Osho and Yogi Bhajan crabs, who formed pyramids so that

others could climb and escape, SY crabs pulled each other down. Thus

there was never a need to seal their containers to prevent them

escaping.

 

i am sure Sanjay Talwar and others understand this joke well.
