Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Dear All, i received an email below from Danny requesting answers to questions from a non-SY friend of his who is a forum member: " Jai Shri Mataji! Jagbir, I have some emails from Xxxxxx (who is not a sahaja yogi, nor he ever practiced any form of meditation). Anyway, he asked me a bunch of questions, and I have his permission to post my response to the forum. His email won't be available. (he's been traumatized in the past, and not trusting anybody....). In any case, his questions are the questions any seeker would ask, and are important from this point. If you could help me with this one, I'd feel much better.) You are free to post your response in the forum, if needed. Otherwise, I'll instruct Xxxxxx to email you directly. Sincerely, danny " Yes, Danny, i will reply to his questions but on the forum. Xxxxxx may respond by emailing back to you, and you may forward his mail back to me. However, i will have to post all answers to the forum for the benefit of all members. (Sometimes it may take a few days.) There is no question that his questions are the questions any seeker would ask, and are important. Seekers must know what Sahaja Yoga is really all about and make up their minds. i am just telling it as openly as can be. Maybe we SYs will learn that seekers really appreciate transparency and honesty, especially about the Divine. If Sahaja Yoga is to spread and defeat the negative forces it is high time to call a spade a spade. What else does Shri Mataji means by " The Truth which is absolute has to express itself in these modern times. And even if it is not accepted it will never die. On the contrary, if it is not accepted, it will expose all falsehood and destroy it! " i ask all SYs what will expose all falsehood and destroy it - the subtle system of a genuine guru or the Great Event ordained for humanity and delivered by the Adi Shakti? And if anyone is told to leave Sahaja Yoga for upholding the truth, let me be the first. jagbir ...................................................... Dear Danny, From what I have been reading, there are some things to tell you and ask about. At the moment my overall understanding is that Divine energy is within each person, and is independant of any specific religion, at the same time embracing them all. Some things that I have read have stood out; 'People have a tendency not to accept truth because of their fear' This is very true. Truth can be overwhelming. 'Once you know in your heart that no external guru can teach you about the Great Event ordained for humanity, you will learn to stay and become your own guru.' Please could you explain this. This statement is directly in contrast with what the ex members have been saying. What the ex members have been saying is quite frightening and I'd like to know what you think about it all. What do you think of their experiences and claims? 'Religion is realisation; not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories, however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing or acknowledging, it is the whole soul becoming changed into what it believes' message 2708 How can religion be realised without talk, theories and acknowledgment? Please explain how this happens. Also, how can someone overcome fear and lack of trust? Your post on 'Oneness' was very helpful and I understand the concept and truth of it. What do you think of 'different channels of approach' and ' we are all drawn to what we need at a given time for our own personal growth and development'? Also, what did you mean by 'the Sleeping Prophet'? In particular, I liked 'For each soul is a corpuscle in the body of God' Your post 'Is there such a thing as a soul?' was very open, personal and thought provoking. [you describe your discovery of the Truth]' if the truth makes you feel the divinity in all of us, as love, then you are right.' This is right, surely the truth cannot lead to division, hate and hopelessness. You obviously know a lot about meditation and have a lot of knowledge and experience of these matters. I am very sorry that you once felt such hopelessness and sadness that you considered suicide, and I am very glad that you have found truth and direction in your life. In this post you also mention that Sahaja Yoga has the tools to understand the truth. Please could you explain this some more. Thanks, xxxxxx ---------------- Dear Danny, In the meantime, I hope you don't mind but there are some more things to ask you about. The recent posting about reincarnation was interesting, and it is the first time that I have ever thought about this concept. The reason for this is as mentioned in the same post; 'The official custodians of dogma ignore or deny the concepts of reincarnation.' Why has this been so? Why have major world religions hidden and discouraged followers from learning about reincarnation? The quotes from the Christian faith do reveal that Jesus himself did not deny reincarnation; instead He gives specific examples of its existance? Why is it that such an important concept hasn't been investigated and expanded by religious scholars and teachers, and instead has been frowned upon and considered of no relevance? How do these scholars then explain the significance of what Jesus meant in this instance, if they do not accept the concept of reincarnation? Jagbir's post 2807 has raised some questions; 'If the truth of Shri Mataji's message forms the very foundation of our faith, then declaring it to humanity should have no place for cowardice, no place for defeat' Why has this been allowed to happen? Why not declare this message fully and openly so that you have a stable and unshakeable foundation? Surely if something is not openly declared, this will cast doubt on everything that follows? 'the narrow minded official emphasis on the subtle system' What does Jagbir mean by this statement? What are the subtle systems and nonsubtle systems, and how should they be they balanced? 'What makes them disinterested enough to continue under such a genuine guru- the atmosphere at collectives? excessive talk about catches and cures? too much rituals? lack of non-subtle system knowledge? pervasive fear of negativity? strange talks of left-sided acts and bhoots? dry and rigid devotees? What have all these to do with Sahaja Yoga? Could you expand on each of these concepts in some detail, and explain how they relate to and are incorporated into SY? 'Maybe if we just start finding faults with the quality, method and sincerity of SYs promoting SY, we may start making progress after decades.' All of Jagbir's posts reveal that he is a man who has inner conviction, direction and faith and yet he is completely honest and critical in his approach to problem areas. He is not a blind devotee; rather he is able to accept short-comings and search for improvements and solutions. Do SYs have an official training programme? Why has there been a reluctance to find and admit to faults in promotion? Jagbir also mentions that there are hundreds of gurus. Why is Sahaja Yoga special and what does it bestow on its followers that the others cannot? Thanks, Xxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not enough.He is the worst when you talk about the seekers of the truth.Because he isn't looking for the truth right now... he is attacking the truth(or maybe what he believes was the truth). Maybe he should show me a better way besides sahaja yoga,and I'll join him.But he has NO way.All he does is being sincere(in his ignorance)but I respect his state of mind. ..and I'm not really angry about it. All I asked from everybody was ,,to be sincere ,,But you see...I am an old sahaja yogi.I will not punish Simon for speaking his mind .... Anyway,I think Simon is a good thing when comes to sahaja-yoga. Because he challenges us..He wants to know how strong we are... There will be a day when I get angry ...and that day,GOD save him. And this is not a warning ...it's a promise.It will be My powers against His. But,as long as he is sincere ,I can't do that.Sorry.If he thinks he can push it for ever ,he is wrong.I never wanted to use my powers,even though SM in person told me that.And she was serious about that... and she talked only to me......she said..use your powers,Daniel.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Danny, i would really prefer you not threaten anyone on this forum. Moreover you give everyone the impression that Shri Mataji is personally giving you power, encouragement and permission to punish others. This cannot be tolerated. Do not use Shri Mataji's name in vain for any personal problems. i have just finished explaining that we SYs should not misinterpret Shri Mataji's talks according to our whims and fancies. Please understand the seriousness of what you are doing. jagbir shriadishakti , " calugar22 " <calugar22> wrote: > > Listen,this is the second time I post this.,Jagbir,..and also the > last time I have ever posted here in my life.May GOD be with the > moderator,who deleted my previous post.(below) > > -His name is Jimmy.He is a seeker.He has questions....D ..stands > for Danny(myself) ans J is for Jimmy. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
