Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 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. " Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Hamsa Puja, Germany, 07-10-1988 Here now, is Part 2. Enjoy, violet 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.
