The quality of discretion - Part 3

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 2 with the following:

 

" 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. "

The quality of discretion - Part 3

 

Now there are people who are suddenly enticed by some sort of a ritual. For

example I've seen some Sahaja Yogis, they come to the Puja and they are giving

bandhan to themselves like mad. On the way they'll go they'll give bandhan.

Anywhere they go they'll give bandhan, like mad. That's just conditioning,

that's not discretion that's not Sahaja Yoga. It is to be seen--'is it to be

given bandhan or not?'

 

In the presence of Mother there is bandhan, what is there to give bandhan to

yourself? For people, when I'm talking, are giving bandhan, raising their

Kundalini. They're all mad people, I think. Yesterday I heard there's one kind

of a music record is played everywhere in the ashrams, because they can all jump

like on a camel. It's a music for the camels, you see. Now this record everybody

appreciates. Why? Because they can jump like a camel. Once you start jumping

like a camel human beings can't give up; they form habits. So they like that

particular music, they'll go on jumping like a camel because now they have

become camels, they have to behave like camels.

 

Now if there's something, some music, which is like a horse, like the trot

maybe, maybe gallop, anything. Now once they listen to it suddenly they start

following that rhythm, now they become the horse, which is galloping. Now if the

horse is galloping they become horses and they only like that galloping music.

So on and so forth. Could be a donkey, could be anything. We are not animals, we

are human beings and we are 'hum'--'We are'. We are Sahaja Yogis, we are not

dominated by any particular type of rhythm or particular type of music. Every

variety we can appreciate and understand as long as it is dharmic, as long as it

is balancing, as long as it is auspicious and holy. So you can see on the Hamsa

how many things are judged. I think the whole of Sahaja Yoga stands on the

balance of Hamsa.

 

There are people who are very astute--means very honest. But this honesty can go

into a ridiculous limit. Or else there are people who are very hard working.

This can also go to the ridiculous limit. So these qualities, which are supposed

to be good, cannot be righteous. The righteousness is discretion glorified. If

you have discretion then you glorify that discretion into righteousness. Like,

we can take Christ. Christ was such a discretion. When Mary Magdalene was

stoned, He had nothing to do with prostitutes, I mean, it's nothing to do at

all, no relationship. But He could see in discretion that these people had no

business to stone her. He stood up there, in His own courage, and he said that,

" Those who have not committed any sin can throw the stone at me. " This is the

power of his discretion that people just felt that discretion within themselves

and they felt that, in discretion, this man is a holy man and we cannot throw

stones at Him.

 

If you are discrete, as Sahaja Yogis, you will make others discrete also. Others

will have to be discrete and to understand. And this 'niraksheera vivek' is the

differentiation between the water and the milk, the bad and the good, can come

to you if you develop that discretion part.
