Dear Jagbir and All,

 

" Self-Realisation " is a Process, and not a " One-Time Event " ....

 

We are fortunate that Shri Mataji has opened the 'Kingdom of God' for the

Christians, the 'Niche of Lights' for Islam, the 'Dsam Duar' for the Sikhs, the

'Sahasrarapadma' for the Buddhists, and the 'Sahasrara' for the Hindus. These

are just 'different names given' in the various spiritual traditions, but the

area within human beings 'referred to' is the same for all. It is the Cosmic

Being ('the Virata') that is being referred to, for when we enter into 'that

area' we become 'universally' or 'cosmically' conscious.

 

Because of the Spiritual Job that Shri Mataji has done, in opening up this Area

within the Human Being, we can ascend to the Kingdom of God within our Selves,

and Her Work has enabled this to happen in an 'en masse' way, which never

happened before. She wants everyone to have their connection to the Kingdom of

God, at this Time.

 

When we raise people's Kundalinis, which Process is called " Self-Realisation "

(It is a " process " , you know!).... what happens is that we 'enable people' to

have their 'connection' to the Kingdom of God Within themselves. When the person

has their connection, the Light (a.k.a. en'light'enment) comes into them. Once

this happens, " IF " the person makes use of that Light they have been given, and

only then, will they eventually realise who they are. Realisations come from

within, and not from without.

 

We can tell people that " they are the Spirit " as Shri Mataji has done for the

last 30 years or so, however, 'telling someone that they are the Spirit'.....

and 'themselves knowing that they are the Spirit'.... are two different things.

That is why we can only give them the connection, 'called Self-Realisation' but

is only a connection at that stage. It only becomes a real 'Self' Realisation,

when that person, truly realises within themselves, who they really are.

 

What this means is that we are 'Catalysts' to people to 'have their

Self-Realisation, just as Shri Mataji has stated that 'She is a Catalyst'. As we

are 'catalysts', we enable them to have their connection. It is then, that the

Real Spiritual Work really begins of 'Self-Transformation'. If the work of

'spiritual transformation' through the 'connection' does not happen, then that

'connection' is essentially wasted.

 

Of course, the more people that have their connection, the more chances that

people will follow this through and do the spiritual work " within " of spiritual

transformation. However, we are expected to do more than just enable people 'to

have their connection'. We have to be a Fount of Knowledge, Wisdom, Guidance,

and Love that draw people 'ever higher' to their Spiritual Source Within.

 

So, when people 'rave about numbers', Shri Mataji has stated that She is more

interested in 'quality' than in 'quantity', though 'quantity' would be nice too,

but what is the point of 'quantity' if the 'quality' is not there. We are not

recruiting people to a religion such as the SYSSR, but we are enabling them to

have their connection to the Divine, and then hopefully through their connection

to Her Prophets (which She says we are) they have to see that we have 'gone

ahead' and shown them our own personal enlightenment, and how it has transformed

our lives. Then they can believe, that their lives can be transformed also!

 

love and best wishes to all this Easter,
