What Shri Mataji said about Buddha - Part 6

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 5 with:

 

" 'Tapa' doesn't mean that you starve yourselves. But also, if you have too much

interest in food, it's better to take to a little fasting. I never said that you

should not enjoy music; you should. But then, you should enjoy music which is

for your emancipation, for your awakening, for your ascent. I don't say: " Don't

do " - because 'your Self' are now 'Buddha'. But sometimes, we are really bound

by so many conditionings, that I find it very difficult for people to understand

what is the Spirit! Spirit is boundless! It is a free expression of God's love! "

What Shri Mataji said about Buddha - Part 6

 

Even now, there are many conditionings which are still working in us. For

example, some people are very proud of their nationality - and feel that they

are 'too high' to mix with other people. Also, we must see how our children

behave, because they are also 'Buddhas', realized souls. But they have certain

conditionings with them, and they are behaving according to those conditionings.

 

Now, we start seeing what is wrong with us, and we drop it out. But if we see

it, but can't drop it out, then we need more power. Then you must learn how to

raise your Kundalini, how to be connected with the Divine power all the time, so

that you are in thought-less Awareness. And that you grow within your Self, in

depth. I find that the conditioning still very much lurking in Sahaja Yogis is

" My " and " Mine " . Before Sahaja Yoga they were not [that] interested [as society

is at present] in their husbands, wives, houses, or children. But now, they are

'stuck on' like glue. We also want racialism and the caste system to go away,

because they are Self destructive.

 

So, we start seeing in ourselves what is Self destructive. To stop it is only

possible if you try to introspect your Self and meditate and see: " Have I got

this quality? " Some people are very proud that they have certain temperaments.

No more; now, all your beautiful qualities have been awakened by your Kundalini,

showing that nothing was dead, nothing was finished - that they were all there

" intact " and when the Kundalini started rising, She awakened all those beautiful

qualities!

 

Sahaja Yoga is one of the most precious things for human beings. It is not only

talking about God. It is not only saying there's Divinity within you, but [it

is] the " effectiveness " of that. So you don't need any science. If you have any

problem, give a bandhan. Finished. So simple. Everything that you can do with

science, you can do with Sahaja Yoga. We are also computers. Only thing: you

have to develop your depth! Now, you are on the right lines!

 

So, please have Self esteem and understand that you are a Sahaja Yogi first and

foremost. And as Sahaja Yogis, you have to achieve that state, where you become

absolutely capable of doing whatever science can do. This is the real siddhi. It

means that you become an embodiment of all the powers.

 

To have an open heart, just see what is wrong with you. How can a Sahaja Yogi

not have an open heart?! Since that is the first place where the Spirit exists,

emits light, and shows that a person is full of love?! If someone can't open

their heart, this must be coming because you have ego, only, but no Self esteem.

Buddha is the killer and controller of ego - moving on the pingala nadi. He

tries to compensate the right side, as the laughing Buddha who is very fat. A

person who is right-sided is very thin, never laughs, and never smiles. Buddha

is shown laughing with many children sitting on His stomach and all over His

body. We can control our right side by laughing and making fun of ourselves and

anything we see. For example, He said not to see any drama. But, if you see [the

drama] with your enlightened consciousness, you can see the 'stupidity' of it

and enjoy it!

 

We should not become one of the spectators and think how lucky we are to see an

inauspicious thing. How you react to things, depends on your attention. Of

course, if it is something divine, then you have a rapt attention. But if it is

something stupid, you can see the essence of it in the light of reality - [that]

it is stupid! But if you are a Sahaja Yogi, you should be able to see that point

and enjoy [it]! An enlightened attention reacts in a very different manner from

a 'stupid attention', or a 'confused attention', or an attention full of

negativity.
