Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Dear All, We have to go deep, as Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has said. Sahaja Yoga is about the Reality of the Spirit. There cannot be artificiality and befooling others, because we have now been born at this Blossom Time, so we can finally enjoy all the different blossoms! At the Blossom Time, everything evolves and opens out! Everything is revealed! We start seeing all the beautiful flowers, whose faces have opened out! Each flower has its own beauty. Some have a heavenly scent, like the rose. Some have very sweet faces and perfume like the pansies. Some are tall and loyal, like the poppies. Some warm the cockles of the heart, like the sunflower. But, each one reminds and teaches us, of its source of love! No flower is sad because it may not have the sweet face of another, because each has its own individual beauty and glory, to enhance the whole garden. Each brings its unique joy and delight to the beholder. Each flower brings its own gifts, its own help. The weeds that inevitably come, however do make these flowers sad, as they are then forced to make adjustments for these weeds, in the hope that they will not lose the sun's light, nor the nourishment needed from the Mother Earth! The weeds however, have no pity, and just take over every flower's position in the garden, and then either starve it out by usurping its nutrition, or they choke its growth, by entangling itself among the flower, so the flower ends up having no freedom or room to grow, anymore! And that is how gardens lose their beauty, a beauty that was meant, to give joy to all! But, just watch the Gardener come along, who soon pulls out the weeds that are so aggressive and which just want to take over the whole garden! These weeds are not to be tolerated, because they just spoil the beauty of the garden! So the Gardener very carefully, pulls out the weeds, so the flowers will not be hurt or damaged beyond repair. The Gardener loves the beauty of all the flowers in the garden, whose seeds of promise, were sown by him! Once the Gardener has done the job, the flowers again have their freedom, their room to move and grow! Once again, they are able to waft their heavenly scent! Once again, they can show their pretty little faces. They can again grow tall and faithful. They can again warm the hearts of those, who are attracted to them! And so it is with Sahaja Yogi minds and hearts too. When these have been freed from the weeds that take away their nourishment, and strangle and entangle them, they will again have their individual positions in the Gardener's garden, that they were meant to have! They will again show their individual beauty of mind and heart, and not an imposed mind and heart. When these are freed from the weeds that have taken root with them, and enforced their will upon them, they will again be free to grow, in their own individual God-given glory, because this is after all, the time for all the flowers to blossom! And if they do not blossom now, when it is the Blossom Time, they have lost their chance, of the great promise, this time around! At this Blossom Time, there is the integration of the collective essence of the 1000-petalled-Lotus. People who see it, and breathe in its heavenly scent, will also want to reside there. It is a place of joy, beauty, truth, and eternal life! The lotus is a symbol of unity, purity, joy, beauty, and complete satisfaction! No artificial religious barriers separate people in this Land of Sahasrara! All of earth's children that surrender to the Holy Spirit, will be in union with the 'Wholly Spirit'! The unity that is 'the Wholly Spirit' is in a dimension beyond time and space, and is called " collective consciousness " . This is how Shri Mataji describes it: " I think people don’t even understand the meaning of collectivity, 'where there's not the other', ananya (Sanskrit –> no other), " where there’s not the other. " There’s no other personality! These personalities are separated from you, because of left and right or could be both. But you are yourself fully [intact and integrated] when you're absolutely detached, and your kundalini is dancing. [Then] you are alone and never alone!!! " (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Shri Adi Kundalini Puja - Germany, 11 August 1991) Those of earth's children, who surrender to the Holy Spirit, are called 'bond-servants'. That just means that they have become bonded, and therefore joined with the Spirit, by loving 'ties that bind' and also give spiritual liberty at the same time. These ties give spiritual liberation!: " And there shall no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His bond-servants shall serve Him; and they shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. (Revelations 22:3-4) Only those who surrender to the Holy Spirit, can become the collective members of the One Spiritual Body. This is the Harvest Time, when all that is harvested, goes into the one granary! There are no distinctions of different branches of the tree now. At this Blossoming Time all members of one body, will eventually blossom and reveal their glorious essences! And this body is not made of only limited members, but of innumerable members, yet they are all members of One Body!: For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot should say, " because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body " , it is not for this reason any the less part of the body! And if the ear should say, " Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body " , it is not for this reason any the less, a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But now, God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired! And if they were all one member, where would the body be? (Excerpts 1 Corinthians 12:14-19) " For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully, just as I also have been fully known! (I Corinthians 13:9-12) " When we are dealing with Reality, you have to know that we cannot just go on doing things which are artificial and which are befooling others, but we really have to become that [Reality of the Spirit]. Once you become that, when you are really like that, only then have you done the job for which you have been born at this juncture of the Blossom Times!
