i was thinking out loud whether any future believer of Her Divine

Message will require any cleansing rituals for salvation. The more i

pondered the more i am convinced that absolutely no external rituals

are need for salvation.

 

But the least needed and lowest denominator for salvation has become

the official sacred cow of Sahaja Yoga.

 

Yesterday i asked my wife Shindi, as she baked walnut-carrot muffins,

why SYs need cleansing rituals. She replied that these rites are

required to keep clearing themselves, just like taking repeated

baths daily in order to constantly clean oneself.

 

So when will they become cleansed enough? Never, because they are

forever getting dirtied by catches.

 

Then what is the purpose of all this ceaseless clearing? (i liked

her answer) - so that they can become real yogis.

 

As i shook my head in disbelief i have come to realize how much the

core teachings of Shri Mataji are being lost, discarded by

management SYs since they cannot declare these thunderous Truths.

They are now comfortable with the cleansing rules and clearing

routine that is officially endorsed as necessary for salvation .....

...... er, i mean to become a SY. (Shri Mataji never even once

endorsed this idea that has over time been increasingly worshipped

as the sacred salvation cow of Sahaja Yoga.)

 

That brings the question that will determine its very survival: Will

the faithful in future need the Sahaja Yoga organization, with all

its cleansing rituals so alien to their religious background, to

take part in the Last Judgment and Resurrection?

 

i will save you from the inconsistencies of speculation:

 

" Tolstoy argues, very persuasively, that the core teachings of Jesus

have been lost to the modern Christian. Man is too comfortable with

the way things are to really adopt Jesus approach to life.

 

Most of what passes for Christianity today is nothing of the sort. A

great deal of it is self-serving. Jesus said salvation is personal --

you don't need a " church " to be saved. As Tolstoy explains,

church's are largely the invention of men, who crave a hierarchy and

order.

 

This book " The Kingdom Of God Is Within You " is a revelation, and

can make Christians feel rebuked by Tolstoy's words. "

 

i also cannot resist quoting the Bhagavad-Gita:

 

Undiscerning men, theologians preoccupied with scriptural lore,

Who claim there is nothing else, utter words with ephemeral results.

Their words promise better births through cultic acts,

Dwell at length on various rites, and aim at pleasure and power.

These men are full of desire, zealous for heaven.

They cling to pleasures and power and are fooled by their own

discourses.

They have no knowledge consisting in commitment, fixed in

concentration.

The Scriptures speak to the world's weave of integrity, passion, and

sloth.

Transcend it, Arjuna, free from opposites, forever in integrity,

Detached from things, in command of yourself.

All the Scriptures mean as much — no more, no less — to the

discerning spiritual man, as a water tank in a universal flood.

 

Bhagavad Gita 2:42-46

 

 

My parting question: If all the Scriptures mean as much — no more,

no less — to the discerning spiritual man, as a water tank in a

universal flood, what will all the various daily rites listed in

the " Manual Of SY Cleansing Rituals and Clearing Techniques " mean?
