Our weapon is innocence...

[Guest guest]

Please enjoy some wonderful insights by Shri Mataji to enlighten our

way, which are related by some yogis who were there at the occasion

of the Shri Ganesha Puja, Cabella, Italy in 1995.

 

Following these insights is also a most delightful parable which

gives us something to ponder on.

Our weapon is innocence…

 

Shri Mataji gave us a new ruling. We must project our innocence

deliberately. (this refers to the powers of innocence that we have)

 

There are lots of good people in the world who we should have

compassion for.

 

Shri Ganesha is the one who lets us feel vibrations.

 

Other groups, religions or even cults have weapons. Our weapon is

innocence.

 

Shri Ganesha has the " ganas " within us as antibodies. We Sahaja

Yogis are also ganas and must work – help out. We are the world's

ganas.

 

We have stored up so many vibrations within us.

 

We can help to bring about Shri Mataji's vision of a peaceful world.

 

The importance of bhandans: Until we use our powers, we don't know

we have them.

 

Coincidences: They are NOT coincidental. The coincidences are all

arranged by Shri Ganesha.

 

The Magnetism of innocence: Innocence has such magnetism. This can

be seen in relation to children. For instance, when a child is lost,

everyone worries. People enjoy watching children... how they talk,

act, move about. It is the innocence that we enjoy. Shri Mataji gave

an example of a book entitled " Children's View on Politicians. " It

sold out almost immediately.

 

Shri Ganesh has the power to control the elements. It rained, for

example, before the Puja. Everything in Cabella was muddy. The rain

came to purify. Then the brilliant sunshine cleared the moisture

away. This was no coincidence. Shri Ganesha was responsible… At one

point, when it was still raining, hail fell only around the Palazzo

Doria (Shri Mataji's house). Hence Shri Ganesha, who loves His

Mother beyond all else, made beautiful " ice walls " around the house.

 

Shri Ganesha is light – He has a big belly and is short, yet He can

dance lightly.

 

He is also JOLLY. He is not " stiff " like some people.

 

He is rhythm.

 

Shri Ganesha loves His Mother most of all. (Even we SY's would find

it the most unbearable thing to leave Shri Mataji. We can't do it!)

 

Shri Ganesha cures so many diseases and saves us from accidents. He

is awakened in Sahaja Yogis and protects us all the time.

 

Many societies have lost respect for Shri Ganesha and innocence is

lost. People chase the pleasures of the moment, which lead to

destruction.

 

Shri Ganesha is also our conscience, which " eats us up sometimes "

until we realize something.

 

Due to Him, we need not fear as He is awakened.

 

Someone commented to Shri Mataji, how radiant Her disciples were.

This is due to Shri Ganesha. (By the way, Shri Jesus is a

reincarnation of Shri Ganesha).

 

Shri Mataji also told us a Chinese story to illustrate how peace

results from innocence. It goes something like this: -

 

" A Chinese Lord wanted his fighting cock to win all the tournaments.

So he gave his prize rooster to a great saint and instructed this

wise man to teach the cock to win at all times. After some time, the

saint returned the cock to the Lord. In the arena, the other cocks

charged about and bit and clawed each other. Every time one of them

approached the Lord's fighting cock, it drew back and stood up,

aloof. Then all the other cocks were wounded and tired, eventually.

The winner was the Lord's cock as it was the only one left standing.

The nobleman gave this rooster to the wise man, saying that it had

now become a saint itself! "
