Dear Jagbir and All,

 

If you take the saying of:

 

" He who has not denounced evil will never attain Brahman " literally, you might

take to standing on a pedestal in the park, and denouncing the world and

everyone in it as 'evil' and there are fanatics who do just that.

 

But that is not the case.

 

The case is that a person first has to renounce the negativity or evil within

their own hearts, before they can attain to Brahman. To attain to Brahman is to

establish one's Union with the Divine, within themselves.

 

But the Upanishads teach that to even attain Brahman, one has to be honest. That

means they have to be honest within themselves first. Until people are honest

within themselves, they can't be honest with others. Shri Mataji talked about

Sahaja Yogis who are not honest within themselves:

 

" They want to be in the group of Sahaja Yogis because they don't want to be

lonely. They're glad to sing songs, music, everything in Sahaja Yoga because

they want somewhere to fit in, because they want an identity, they call

themselves Sahaja Yogis. But this identity is a false identity. You have to be

identified with your Spirit! "

The only way that Sahaja Yogis can be honest within themselves, is to identify

with their own Spirit. It is not a case of identifying with any religious

leaders. [1] If a person identifies with their Spirit and the religious leaders

in Sahaja Yoga (or elsewhere) reject that identification/identity, then they are

in spiritual ignorance, and you follow them to your own detriment, because they

have become religious " rulers " instead of true religious " leaders " . Bona fide

religious leaders identify with their own Spirit, and will always advise you to

do likewise! But religious " rulers " are a completely different kettle of fish.

They are capable of many horrible things, as happened in this case:

 

/message/9553

 

When a person is totally honest with themselves and with others - then they have

to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The truth that they tell,

cannot be separated into different compartments, which is also probably why i

have never heard Shri Mataji say that: " Sahaja Yoga is a unique form of

meditation " . How can Shri Mataji's saying that " Sahaja Yoga is your Spontaneous

Union with the Divine " be turned into saying that: " Sahaja Yoga is a unique form

of meditation " ? The 'Horse' (Kundalini Awakening) always comes before the 'Cart'

of Thought-less Awareness or Sahaja Meditation. Separating the wholistic truth,

diminishes the truth! In most people's eyes, there is nothing extraordinary

about a 'unique form of meditation'. But, having one's Union with the Divine

that is extraordinary!

 

In regards to the word " denounce " , it is a good, strong word. People have said

that we criticize the leaders in Sahaja Yoga. " Criticize " is too weak a word. We

" Denounce " them - and with good reason. Jesus also denounced them. Shri Mataji

has also denounced them. i recall that Shri Mataji said at Sydney Airport in the

mid-1990's that which had this meaning:

 

" Until you work out the problem of the scribes and Pharisees in the organisation

of Sahaja Yoga itself - Sahaja Yoga will not flourish in the world " .

 

i think Jagbir will agree that that is where we are at. In fact, that is where

all Sahaja Yogis are now at, whether they realise it or not. They are just

fortunate that Jagbir has spear-headed the 'scribe and Pharisee' problem in

Sahaja Yoga. And Sahaja Yoga can't flourish, till this problem is dealt with. It

has to be dealt what Jagbir has described as a 'death-blow'. The leaders in

Sahaja Yoga are now your religious rulers. What does Sahaja Yoga have to do with

" religious rulers " ? So, Sahaja Yogis, you must wake up and join us in this

struggle to get Her Message out! You can't do it from inside the organisation

anymore, because the scribes and Pharisees who have come to Sahaja Yoga, have

tied it up there!

 

Jagbir, you ask:

 

> What is the nature of the negativity that has silenced the entire

> Sahaja Yoga organization? What has possessed so many SYs to fear

> telling the truth? What has paralyzed their conciousness from even

> being conscientious? Why have so many become blind, deaf, dumb and

> diseased, almost devoid of all that Self-realization bestows?

 

i think Shri Mataji answered that question very well, when She said:

 

" Unless and until we are established in our Spirit, we cannot understand the

intricacies of all the ignorance that we have all around us. So the best way to

understand Sahaja Yoga is to establish yourself in the Spirit. "

Jagbir, so in short, the nature of the negativity is that they have not yet

become established in their Spirit - and therefore can't understand the

intricacies of all the ignorance that is surrounding them - especially with

regard to WCASY, Sir C.P. and the SY management. But then, Shri Mataji " did say "

to dedicate to Her and not to Sahaja Yoga:

 

" You have to dedicate yourself completely to me, not to Sahaja Yoga, but to Me.

Sahaja Yoga is only one of my aspects. Leaving everything you have to dedicate.

Complete dedication – otherwise you cannot ascend any further. Without

questioning, without arguing, complete dedication is the only way you can

achieve it. "

regards to all,

 

violet

 

 

[1] i judiciously use the terms " religious leader " and " religious ruler " to

distinguish the difference between someone who identifies with their Spirit and

encourages you to do likewise - and someone who does the opposite, i.e., expects

you to follow them, instead of your Spirit within.

 

 

The second is Dhamman Sharanam Gacchami. What is " Dhammam " ? It's Dharma. What is

our Dharma? It's Vishwa Nirmala Dharma. That means now we have become universal

beings. We are no more Indians, no more Africans, no more English, no more

French. We have now all become Sahaja Yogis who are the citizens of the Kingdom

of God. We have no other identification. This is our Dharma. We are now leading

a universal life. But Sahaja Yogis are not like that. Still so many of them

still identify themselves with localised stuff. Now, when you think of

universality, we have to understand that it's not only the religion or a country

that separates us, but also a kind of a quality. For example, if there are

people who are Rajo-gunis who are very active right-sided people, they'll

combine together. They may fight later but they combine. Then the people who are

left-sides will combine together, but both of these should cling onto those who

are trying to ascend, who are in the center. And there is where we fail very

much. Our associations and our understandings of each other is

deluded by our ignorance and we cannot understand who is for our ascent and who

is for our benevolence. This happens with us in so many ways.

Now this is the last judgement and those who miss will miss in any case. Christ

has said, " You will be calling Me Christ, Christ, but I will not recognize you. "

So understand you have to become the Spirit as Christ has said, " You are to be

born again. " You may have faith in Me or not - doesn't matter; you must have

faith in yourself to begin with. But when you grow spiritually you will know

[that] better. I'll not tell you what I am. I will never tell you what I am.

Christ was the Son of God. You may deny it, but He was. But when He said that

they crucified Him; stupid people! I don't want to get crucified, so I will not

tell you what I am. But I must be something no doubt. It makes no difference to

me. Whatever I am, I am. But I'm not going to tell you. You have to rise in your

Spirit and realize and understand it. Why? Because you have to do good to

others. [but] with your ignorance, you will stop the progress of others. What a

responsibility! What a beautiful responsibility you have!

However to overcome the darkness of ignorance we have to enlighten ourselves.

There is a sparkle of light in the eyes of Sahaja Yogis after their

self-realization. The true celebration of Diwali [Festival of Lights] is when

Sahaja Yogis become the lights of Knowledge, Truth, Peace, and Joy, and the

dance of Joy is seen in their sparkling eyes.

But why are there so many thieves, as shown in His life? Only as a contrast were

they allowed to get out. Why was this compromise not possible with Christ? Do we

also have the same with us today - that we compromise ourselves with thieves,

who are negative people and we do not mind Christ being crucified?

First of all you have to learn how to drive; then you are tested. There will be

five stones put together. The distance will be that hardly a car can pass

through, and the fellow will say: 'you bring it zigzag' - and you cannot do it.

Why [does he ask you to do that]? That's how he makes you a Master. The mastery

of your attention will come, when you start seeing that it is all a myth that

upsets you! Just throw it away and understand that you are the eternal attention

- that you are the eternal life - that the only thing that keeps you away from

it, is " ignorance " . And the ignorance is too simple to understand, that you have

accepted a myth as the truth. Just drop it! It's a myth! You will be amazed how

your attention will then rise and you will see how all these nonsensical things,

which used to frighten you, which used to elate you, will drop out and you will

just smile at it! And " then only " are you going to enjoy yourself fully -

because your attention will be completely drenched into the bliss of " Self " .

So what we have to do is establish ourselves in Buddha. That is to establish

ourselves within, in our Spirit. Unless and until we are established in our

Spirit, we cannot understand the intricacies of all the ignorance that we have

all around us. So the best way to understand Sahaja Yoga is to establish

yourself in the Spirit. But those who are not intelligent, those who are stupid,

those who are selfish and greedy, do not see this point. And they do not like it

if a leader tells them that you must establish in Sahaja Yoga, that you should

have your Spirit manifested. They don't want to listen to that. They want to be

in the group of Sahaja Yogis because they don't want to be lonely. They're glad

to sing songs, music, everything in Sahaja Yoga because they want somewhere to

fit in, because they want an identity, they call themselves Sahaja Yogis. But

this identity is a false identity. You have to be identified with your Spirit.

That is the part that is " Buddham Sharanam Gacchami " . [Meaning for us: " I

surrender myself to the Spirit " .]
