Where one is absolutely detached, and absolutely attached....

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Shri Mataji talks about a state of mind that only Sahaja Yogis can achieve. This

is a state of mind where one is 'absolutely detached' and at the same time

'absolutely attached'.

 

Buddha, i think tried to teach this, however when i read what is being written

today, which was written by authors unknown, and definitely not by the Original

Buddha Himself, i have to say that although some of these writings are helpful

to a certain extent, however, to another extent, they make me feel that it is

next-to-impossible to achieve for mere human beings. It is little wonder that

very few people ever got their enlightenment in Buddha's time and those that

did, would probably have done so through the Darshan (Presence) and Grace of the

Buddha Himself.

 

As Sahaja Yogis, we should be very thankful that we do not have to follow these

step-by-painful-steps. As already said, it is very little wonder that people

rarely got their enlightenment by almost-impossible penances also coupled with

the confusing teaching about self/non-self, which, whether it is or not... comes

across as an uncomfortable concept.... a concept of the anihilation of the

Spirit Being Itself.

 

i do not mean to offend any Buddhist sensibilities and i deeply respect any true

Seekers who follow Buddhism, but i fear that if i were to follow Buddhist

teachings as espoused in much of today's literature, i would become a dry, rigid

and detached person, lacking the joy of the Spirit in my life. (i am prepared to

be wrong on all this so if any Buddhist can clarify the genuine original

teachings of Buddha, that would be great. i do appreciate that he gave dharmic

ways to live that would bring the person to a higher spiritual state and i know

he was an Incarnation).

 

However, i also believe that unless followers of Buddhist teachings also have

their self-realization first, that it will be impossible for them to achieve a

state of mind where one is 'absolutely detached' and 'absolutely attached' at

the same time, as described by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, let alone even

understand this state without first having the connection to the Divine within.

i speak from personal experience on this, having come from a Christian

background.

 

i definitely have to agree with Shri Mataji, that this state of mind can really

only be achieved by a Sahaja Yogi. So why can a Sahaja Yogi achieve this? They

can achieve this because they have their connection to the Divine first, through

self-realization or kundalini awakening, (whichever way you prefer to call it)

and then they can evolve to a higher level... they ascend beyond the level of a

human being to become their Higher Self. They then become who they truly are,

which is their Spirit. The connection gives 'light' to see or

'en-light-en-ment'. Then the person can much more easily see their faults and

correct them, rather than floundering in the dark. Then a person can also become

'absolutely detached' and 'absolutely attached' at the same time. If a Buddhist

person has this connection called " Sahaja Yoga " , which means " Union with the

Divine " , then they can become a true Buddist, like the Original Incarnated

Buddha.

 

In the URL below is information regarding Shri Mataji's teachings on the subject

surrounding the state of 'absolute detachment' and 'absolute attachment'. Please

enjoy.
