If you surrender to the will of God, everything is taken charge of...

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Once we have entered the Kingdom of God Within, all we have to do is surrender

to God, and everything is taken charge of. That does not mean, we also do not

use our 'God-given wisdom, knowledge, and intelligence', which are qualities of

the 'Divine Within'. However, when it seems that there is nothing we can do, and

everything looks like a 'mountain of difficulties and obstructions', through our

surrender to the Divine Within (the will of God), we will sail through, with no

problems whatsoever. Shri Mataji has guaranteed it. It is up to us to 'believe

it' and to 'live it'. So, here is a wonderful excerpt on this subject, that

should help us to understand also, what 'surrender' is.

 

i have written it in the English way, but the essence of what Shri Mataji has

given, has been retained.

 

Jai Shri Mataji!

Now [when] you enter the Kingdom of God, then the Shakti makes you sit on

different beautiful positions, and some are sitting in the Heart of God, some

are sitting in the Sahasrara of God in the Kingdom of God. Now, you should

assume your power and [with regard to] Navaratri, you should understand, that it

has now crossed the limit, and we are now on the tenth position, where you must

assume [your position.] I have told you many times, 'Now believe that you are

Sahaja Yogis and that you have entered into the Kingdom of God.'

 

You cannot judge God. You cannot say why does She do that, why does She do that,

why does He do that? You cannot say that; that's different. When you sit there,

it is not an assembly; it is not like a politician fighting. No, it is that you

have entered into the Kingdom of God, blessed by God, looked after, protected,

nourished and made knowledgeable. But still this arrogance has to go down, that

we can understand why it happens. That humility is very important for us.

Otherwise this power cannot take you beyond.

 

Now as it is, it [the power] has crossed the Sahasrara. Now this power has to go

higher and higher. For that, first you should be humble. 'Humble' doesn't mean

that it should be an artificial humility of a businessman or a politician. It is

a humility that is within your heart, that 'oh God, we don't understand you, you

are too great, but let us know our Selves'.... and then you'll be amazed that He

has made you like His own image.

 

That means that He has given you all the powers; He has made you. When He has

made you, it is not you that can make Him. He is the Source; you cannot make

Him. He has made you in His own image. Now, what you can do, is to make others

in His image. These powers are with you, but the first thing you have to have,

is the discipline within yourself which is missing. 'People cannot discipline

themselves'.... means that if they cannot control ['manage'] themselves, how can

they then control ['manage'] anyone else? 'No discipline' means that you cannot

control yourself.

 

Through the discipline, you should firstly see that you control [manage]

yourself, because now you are in the Kingdom of God. Have you seen the film

called 'Mr. Bean', where they show a stupid man, you see? So what happens then,

when you are now coming to the Court of the Goddess, when you have entered in

the Kingdom of God, you are made to sit on your throne in a dignified way, but

you start behaving like Mr. Bean?

 

You see, you don't know how to sit on your seat. You want to sit on the sides,

you want to sit on the wall, or do all kinds of things. There's no discipline!

You have to have the discipline. Where are you sitting? You are sitting in the

Kingdom of God, so you should have that dignity. You should have that affection.

You should have that compassion. You must have that love and the dedication. But

if it is not there, then this power is useless, because you are the vehicle of

that power.

 

Supposing that I have to take water [for drinking]; then I have to have a glass

which is empty inside. If it is already full of ego, what can you put inside? Or

if it is a stone [reference to a 'stony heart'] then you can't drink any water

out of that! You'll have to dig a space [in the stone] for the water! So, if

you're already filled with your own ideas, with your own conveniences, with your

own progress or 'whatever it is'.... in that case, you cannot rise very high.

You have to surrender fully, saying that, 'Mother whatever is your desire, that

it become my individual desire'. Then the Desire of God will work out. You want

the Kundalini to work out for you, which is the Desire of God, not your desire,

which is independent of your desire, but which is the One that will fulfil your

complete so-called 'desire', without your even knowing about it!

 

Miracles after miracles will happen. So many miracles, that now we do not even

know how to compile the book, even on 'miracles'. But these miracles are coming

to you, because you are realised souls. [However] your attention should be

alright. You must see and introspect your self. I am sitting in the Kingdom of

God, now what is my situation? Is it worth it? Am I worth it? Am I still

behaving in the [same-old] manner? Do I still not really believe? If you don't

believe, then how can you rise [spiritually]? 'To not believe' means that you

have seen something, you have known something which is tangible, you have got

the experience of it, but still, you are not surrendered.

 

If you surrender to the will of God, then everything is taken charge of. It [the

surrender to the Divine Within] will never let you down. No question! And

everything that looks like a 'mountain of difficulties and obstructions', you

will surpass [with your surrender to the Divine] as if you are like an

aeroplane, flying over it. You won't have any problem, whatsoever!
