Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Dear All, We concluded Part 7 with the following: " Agya bloats more and more. So many are like that. I know where somebody tries to show off, tries to be a Guru and tries to push down others: " I know Sahaja yoga " , " I am a great Sahaja Yogi " --- Then I make their 'ego-horns' come out. You can feel it, jutting out of your head! Push it down! This is the sticking point. Though the balloon goes thin, it sticks on. You are all Buddhas. Buddha is the one who is realised, the one who is enlightened, the one who knows. You are the enlightened ones. How can you have an ego? " Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Chelsham Road, London, England, 24 May, 1981 Here now, is Part 8. Enjoy, violet The correct foundations and ideals of a SY - Part 7 Ego and super-ego are the greatest enemies. I have seen people who suffer from super-ego. You push it down and it goes to the ego. So in the west, we have the greatest problem of the ego. Whatever appeals to the ego we run to that. That is how people are made mad by these 'gurus'. They say you can fly, so you have gone into it. Somebody says you will become very powerful, so you have gone into it. Somebody says you will become a great guru and you go into it. But, nobody says you become the Spirit and become One with the Whole! When I say you are realised, you are great, you are saints, there is more bloating of the ego-balloon. I say it to create that awareness within you. Your ideals have all been full of ego. See Churchill standing there with a stick in his hand? The complete body looks like the ego! We have to form new ideals! He was right for meeting another ego, called Hitler. So it was alright to break their heads together. But now we need new ideals! The past is over now. When there is [a] flood, you need boats to carry you across. But after reaching the shore, you don't carry the boats with you. You leave them behind. These boats are no good for us. They have done the job. Now we have to go ahead with our own feet! So, no bloating of the ego should be there. We should realise that we are in no way exceptional, for only you, are blowing up your ego! You have to be ideals. You have to be in the centre. You have to be a Sahaja Yogi. That is the most important thing. Don't judge yourself by what you think of yourself, but [by] what Mother thinks of you. How much joy are you giving to your Mother? If you make Her unhappy, then what is the use?
