Shri Mataji on where religion has gone wrong - Part 6

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 5 with:

 

" So there is no use in supporting someone who is negative. Many negative persons

who have been asked to get out of Sahaja Yoga sometimes create this problem of:

" Oh Mother, you know I'm so good but they tortured me, they troubled me so

much! " Now, I can clearly see a bhoot in the person. I can see the negativity.

But, if you do not see it, you will immediately start to take sides: " Oh God,

look at this! The poor thing is being tortured! " When you lose your vibrations,

you will not be able to find this out. So don't come under the spell of these

" murmuring souls " - which is what Christ called them. He said that murmuring

souls are the greatest danger. 'That', I've seen in Sahaja Yoga. Those who

murmur, talk behind people's backs and go on complaining, are the greatest

danger to Sahaja Yoga and ultimately - to themselves. Because they'll be found

out. So this is another situation into which we are not collective - and when we

are collective, we are collective for something which is not an 'ascending

force'. It is something surprising, how you see people in this world inviting

their destruction .... and we too, in a way, when we don't understand what

collectivity is and destroy our body of Sahaja Yoga. "

Shri Mataji on where religion has gone wrong - Part 6

 

Today, I'm telling you all this, because all these things must be stopped now on

the day of Buddha's birth. Buddha is the one who is in charge of your ego. If

you go beyond Buddha and start showing off too much, then he pushes your ego

into a 'left Vishuddhi'. So you develop your 'left Vishuddhi' and when you

develop your 'left Vishuddhi' what happens? You start feeling guilty - meaning

that you do not want to face the situation. This is the ego which has gone into

the left and creates this problem of 'left Vishuddhi'. It's not by any chance

your style of bearing things, or that you are being suppressed. But no, you have

been oppressing others, you have been egoistical and it has been so much, that

it has gone into the left Vishuddhi. So you are trying to justify.

 

Now, I would suggest that if you really want to understand Sahaja Yoga, first

try to understand yourself. Then you see: " Where is my mind going now? " Some

ladies who are used to gossiping, come to Sahaja Yoga. They are all right but

sometimes this thing comes: " Lets go and gossip about this lady " , and they just

get up and go to another one. Maybe they must have been gossiping in their last

life. So they go and talk to a person, telling something against a person. Then

they find out that another person has gossiped, or they get another gossiper.

 

Now what I find, is that there are three great Sahaja Yoginis sitting there and

gossiping. I say: " What are you talking about? " .... " Oh no Mother, we were

discussing Sahaja Yoga! " .... I said: " Really? Discussing Sahaja Yogis is never

discussing Sahaja Yoga! If you are discussing people, you are not discussing

Sahaja Yoga! " Discussing Sahaja Yoga has nothing to do with human beings or

realised souls. Thank God, you don't discuss Me, because I must be making a lot

of mistakes in relation to your culture, in relation to your styles, in relation

to the human style. For example, you have to say " Thank you " ten times. I might

only be saying it three or four times. Or you have to say " Sorry " . I say, " I beg

your pardon? " But you see, people will say, " Sorry, sorry, sorry " - and I start

thinking: " Am I in the wrong, or are they in the wrong?! "

 

So when we start discussing others what we really do is to confront or face

someone with your own limitations. And you start thinking: " He should have done

like this, he should have.... " --- " What about you?! " So the best is, that you

discuss yourself with yourself, and you discuss Sahaja Yoga with others. This is

the best way to get rid of one of the greatest enemies of collectivity, which is

gossip. You know, I think it is human nature to gossip.

 

Another horrible thing that we have, which Buddha has tried to control, are very

subtle types of aggressiveness. That's one of the games I play - the one of

making somebody a leader. It is a game. Please remember! Even if I tell you that

I'm Mahamaya, you forget that. Even if I tell you that I'm playing a game, you

still forget that. [And they] so seriously become the leaders, you see! It

[means] nothing to feel that you are the leaders. There's nothing like

leaders.... there's nothing like that in Sahaja Yoga. But then I play something.

Now I had a mind to praise people today for yesterday's program. The way it was

arranged, the way it was beautifully done - so many people came; it was

remarkable. But then I was thinking: " Should I say something, or not? " If I say

something, God knows what I will see next time. So encouragement like this:

" Will it help, or not? " So I've still been discreet about it. Of course, I must

say: " Yesterday's program was very remarkable and we really must give a hand to

Dave and to the leader, our Karan.

 

Despite all the stupid opposition and nonsense, they [sahaja Yogis] have shown

how they have brought in so many people to Sahaja Yoga and how with complete

concentration they have been able to establish so many in Sahaja Yoga. So it is

for you to learn from it, that despite all the problems and everything, without

feeling bad about it, just see that you move like a big elephant towards giving

realisation to others - creating more and more Sahaja Yogis in America. Those

who have this aim in life, that we have to give realisation to people, that we

have to achieve establishment of Sahaja Yoga [union with the Divine], will never

have any problems of any kind. So never bring yourself down to the level where

you think that: " see, the food was not good.... that was not good.... this one

was not good.... this fellow was torturing.... that fellow was doing this. "

Nothing. This is not going to help you or anyone else. Nor is it going to give

you any marks, as they say. After all, if you have to enter into the Kingdom of

God, one has to know that you have to have certain marks! Otherwise, God will

say that you failed and you'll be surprised why the entrance is not allowed! You

are thinking that you are so intelligent, so great, you see - how much gossip

you have created, how many problems you have created, how many leaders you have

pulled down, how much you have befooled Mother, and all that. [break Quote]

 

[Note: In Her Guru Talk 2008 at Cabella recently, Shri Mataji made it clear that

She wants all Sahaja Yogis who can, to become leaders and Gurus. There have

always been leaders/Gurus in Sahaja Yoga, who are not necessarily on the

'organisational stage' as such, of Sahaja Yoga. Personally, i have found that

the best 'leaders' don't even want to be leaders, but the best leaders, are

those who lead by example, through their lives. They are often the quiet spoken

ones. Real leaders/Gurus are those who do not use what Shri Mataji calls " very

subtle types of aggressiveness " , which is something that Buddha and Herself

were/are trying to control:

 

" Another horrible thing that we have, which Buddha has tried to control, are

very subtle types of aggressiveness. That's one of the games I play - the one of

making somebody a leader. It is a game. Please remember! Even if I tell you that

I'm Mahamaya, you forget that. Even if I tell you that I'm playing a game, you

still forget that. [And they] so seriously become the leaders, you see! It

[means] nothing to feel that you are the leaders. There's nothing like

leaders.... there's nothing like that in Sahaja Yoga. But then I play

something. "

Only recently, certain WCASY members used a " subtle type of aggressiveness " with

Shri Mataji, behind a drawn curtain. They were " so serious " that they were the

leadership. But, they have the wrong idea. Real leadership is not control over

everything, including Sahaja Yogis. Real leadership is surrender to the Divine,

not arguing with the Divine Mother!]

And there, suddenly you find: " I've failed. What has happened?! " So don't

deceive your Self! "
