Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 1 with the following:

 

" So first we miss the biggest support, the biggest help, the biggest nourishment

of holiness and auspiciousness, at Mooladhara, if we have no discretion. We

always take to a thing, which is detrimental to our growth, and also which may

destroy us, not only us but the whole country. We like people who are

destructive, when there is no discretion. Discretion means that you must choose

the things which are good for you, which are benevolent to you, which are good

for the collective, which are good for your ascent. On the contrary, the people

who have no discretion fall into the traps of wrong type of people like, say,

Freud. I mean to an Indian, Freud, nobody can believe that you can go into such

an nonsensical idea But people accepted Freud more than they could accept

Christ. Because the discretion was completely missed. If they had that

traditional discretion in them, they would have been saved. This traditional

discretion is the thing that comes through Ida Nadi. Now that's what the people

call 'conditioning' and they say that conditioning is very bad, and people

should not take to conditioning and one should be free from conditioning, which

is absolutely a wrong idea. In that also there has to be discretion. What

conditioning is good and what is not good has to be taken. Now, because there is

no discretion about conditioning also, outright discarding all traditions, all

that is coming to us through our experiences of our forefathers, everything is

discarded. The history is discarded and we say, " Oh, no, we are beyond it, we

feel free. " Like I was surprised, yesterday, in the plane, somebody told Me, " I

feel very free when I have no clothes upon myself. " I mean if the clothes can

imprison you then what happens to the real prisons, what will they be for you?

But that sort of a funny idea comes into the head of people and they think that,

" We can justify all this stupidity that we follow because we lack discretion. "

Intelligence cannot give you discretion, it cannot give you discretion as far as

the conditioning is concerned. For a Sahaja Yogi it is important to understand

how you develop your discretion. "

The quality of discretion - Part 2

 

Yesterday only, I gave a very beautiful talk to the ladies of Paris, or I should

say ladies of France, regarding the discretion of women. The discretion of the

Ida Nadi is intuition. If you develop that discretion within you, through your

meditative powers, you develop intuition. And intuition is nothing but the help

of the Ganas, which are surrounding you. If you learn to take help from the

Ganas you can become very intuitive and without much intelligence of yours you

can say the right thing. The whole of Sahaja Yoga, I would say fifty percent at

least out of that, is based on intuition.

 

For that you have to develop a proper sense of Shri Ganesh. Shri Ganesh in His

right sense you have to understand. From there it starts because He's Ganapati,

He's the one who is the master, is the chief of all the Ganas. So the Ganas give

you the intuition. For example, say, I have to go somewhere and then what I say

is that 'No, I won't be able to go there tomorrow.' And I won't go somehow. And

people think, " Mother, how do You know? " I know, because the Ganas are there and

what they say is the truth, they know all about it. Or anything I say about

someone comes true.

 

So they start asking Me, " How is it Mother You have come to know about it? " I

live on intuition. Like I have to catch a plane I know by intuition what's going

to happen. This part has to develop by worshiping Shri Ganesh. So imagine Shri

Ganesha also rules a part of the Hamsa chakra. So when we say 'Hum' and 'Sa' -

these two are actually the bija mantras of the Agnya. But when the Agnya touches

the Hamsa it starts here, that's why at the base, at the root of it is the

Hamsa. And here, the 'hum''hum''hum' means 'I am'.

 

If you are discrete you will not take to fashions, you'll not take to stupid

ideas. You have your own personality You are a Sahaja Yogi. You don't listen to

people who are non-Sahaja Yogis. That is the 'hum''hum' part - 'I am' - not the

ego part. But the 'hum''hum' - to understand that " I'm a Yogi and I know so many

things which normally people don't know and so I have nothing to do with them.

I've not to take any lessons from them. They are not to teach me anything.

There's nothing that they know, I know much more. " To be aware of your Self is

'hum''hum'.

 

So that comes from the right side I would say. The discretion of right side is

'hum', and the discretion of left side is 'Sa'. 'Sa' means You. Means 'You are

The One'. In your case you know who is the 'You'. But for every human being,

'You' is the Divine. 'You are The One'. This comes from the left side, is 'Sa'.

So the word 'Hamsa' is made of two types of discretion where to see 'I am' and

where to see 'You are'. On these two balances, as they have shown here

beautifully the Moon and the Sun. In the center is the cross, which gives you

the balance, which gives you the dharma. How all these things are connected, one

after another, in layers after layers; you can see how dharma is connected with

discretion.
