How are these websites going to help in World peace?

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I append below a short excerpt from a talk given by Shri Mataji to

Sahaja Yogis in Wimbledon, London in March 1986 in which She

stressed the need for Sahaja Yogis to have a constructive engagement

or dialogue with society over various issues affecting our world.

Shri Mataji's suggestion was for the Sahaja Yogis to form societies

or NGOs in their communities to deal with various problems of the

day.

 

Shri Mataji said that Sahaja Yogis should not live in isolation from

the world around them. According to Shri Mataji: " You are in the

public. You have to circulate now, you have to articulate in the

public, you have to move in the public. You are not only for a

secluded, some group of Sahaja Yogis, you're not that. But you have

to articulate, you have to circulate. "

 

Shri Mataji spoke these words twenty years ago when there was no

Internet. But today in this globalized online world, the 'public' is

only a few key strokes away. And this is just what Jagbir has done

in creating the seven web sites to engage the 'public' in meaningful

and constructive dialogue, for the betterment of the world, for

articulating the Divine Message of Shri Mataji and ultimately to

bring emancipation to the world.

 

If there are any cynics or naysayers as to the approach Jagbir is

taking, Jagbir is merely carrying out exactly what Shri Mataji has

suggested Sahaja Yogis should be doing, twenty years ago. Perhaps

Jagbir is more in tune with the wishes of Shri Mataji than we have

given him credit for.

" ...So then you come to the point where you are in the public, you

are in the public. You have to circulate now, you have to articulate

in the public, you have to move in the public. You are not only for

a secluded, some group of Sahaja Yogis, you're not that. But you

have to articulate, you have to circulate. Now for that what should

we do? You have to understand that we have to form other groups,

other things by which we can circulate. Let's see now in England we

can form some societies. Let's form some society which are not,

which are not are what we call them as the Sahaja Yogas, because you

are different from them. So now let us form some societies. We form

certain societies, say let us form a society where we talk about the

decadence of this country, how the decadence has come in, why it is

there, why are we spoiling our young children, why are we behaving

like this. Let us see, let us start a society under this name. Let

us start a society which will fight all social problems, like let

us, as I said in India, let us start a society which is against

dowry system. That's how you'll circulate with them and later on

when they come up to a point they will see your character and then

you can talk to them about Sahaja Yoga. Like these women have, what

is that called, women lib and all that. That's nonsense, you know

that very well. But they have formed the society, so they're there,

they're circulating. We have to have sensible, wise people forming a

society, so from Sahaja Yoga group we have to move to societies,

where you need not talk about Sahaja Yoga, you need not tell them

there's emancipation, but let us circulate through them and let them

know about dharma, forming no religion as such. It's inner religion

as we have, just without any religion you can start it. So that's

how you meet the public. There are many such ways, which you can

think, by which you can meet the public. "
