The quality of discretion - Part 7

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 6 with the following:

 

" We go to Guru Puja for our own health. Every Guru Puja, if you remember, you

have come up very much higher. Every Guru Puja has helped you. Of course you say

that Maharashtra Tour is very good, I agree, it is, Maharashtra Tour helps you a

lot. But that's for thirty days, so intensive. But Guru Puja is only one day.

How many pujas you have in Maharashtra? At least eight to nine, sometimes even

ten. That's why, naturally it has to be much more effective. But Guru Puja

itself is extremely effective. Indians have been asking Me, " Mother, once, at

least once more, give us the Guru Puja. We'll give anything to have a Guru Puja.

Please come. " This time they wanted to have a Guru Puja. Imagine! You could not

have attended Guru Puja in India. But with Andorra I have a special purpose, I

have a special purpose. So please understand, I am not a purposeless

personality. Gradually you will learn how I fulfill the purpose – yours, Mine

and that of Sahaja Yoga, together. How I work it out beautifully, you will

understand and I hope one day you also develop all those beautiful ways and

methods of discretion by which you just do the right thing and never the wrong

thing! "

The quality of discretion - Part 7

 

Now for the treatment of Hamsa chakra, which is more on the physical side, is

outside, that's why it has to be much more on the physical side also. So as we

have used the ghee, and all that you know very well, to put the Hamsa chakra all

right. Also for Hamsa chakra it's important not to kiss people. I think kissing

must be given up, because in kissing you do allow the germs of another person,

in Sahaja Yoga it's all right. But once I say that, that doesn't mean you go all

crazy with the kissing. No, not proper. If, in India, you go and kiss somebody

he'll just be stunned, he'll not know what is happening.

 

The more you start expressing your love by all these gestures the less it is

inside. Now for example, there's a method of expressing " Thank you " . I mean, you

go on saying, " Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. " It's just a

lip-service. But many people in many countries don't say " thank you " at all, but

they are very grateful inside. The gratefulness inside, creates the depth that

is necessary. So to do it superficially, anything, too much, has to be avoided

in your discretion.

 

But avoiding extremes, avoiding too much outward expression, again, can create

another indiscretion like the English, they don't speak, they just don't speak.

You travel with them every day for twenty-five miles, sitting together; they

will not say who you are. They'll know each and everything about you, but

they'll just keep quiet. They are not supposed to speak, it's artificial.

 

So the second point we have to come to – we are not to be artificial. It's all

right, if somebody feels like, just out of just spontaneity wants to love me and

hug me, I don't mind, because it's not artificial, it just comes. Children are

most spontaneous, they not artificial, they are not at all artificial. In the

same way we have to be very natural about everything. It's all right, while

talking to each other, if the men hit the men a little bit, doesn't matter. They

have not insulted, it's a love, expression of love, is all right. But should be

spontaneous, should not be artificial. We should not take to artificiality in

Sahaja Yoga, at all, by any chance.

 

But wearing clothes is not artificiality. To be decent is not artificiality. To

be dignified is not artificiality. Artificiality is that, what you don't feel

inside, is to say out. That is artificiality and for a Sahaja Yogi, he feels he

has that bashfulness, he has that shyness, he has that protocol and he respects

his body. Out of respect of the body he doesn't want to do something that will

insult his body. And that's how if you understand how far to go and how far to

stop.

 

Then there is another way of indiscretion in Sahaja Yoga, which I have seen, is

that people start using me for many purposes like that. Like, supposing, now

somebody's writing a poem. So he'll come to Me, he'll, " Please correct my poem. "

I'll correct one poem, two poems, three poems, ten poems, then he will lose the

capacity to produce poems.

 

You should not use Me for your own purpose in that manner, but in any case you

are using Me. But with an understanding that " Mother is all the time with me and

is helping me, " there's no need to come forward and jump on My time and to take

My time and to bother me so that I should feel, " O God, when will I get rid of

this? " Or others have a thing, " Mother, You must come to my house, You must take

my child, You must meet my husband, he might be a drunkard. " So taking attention

to what you call " yours " is also indiscretion.

 

Instead of that you put your attention to Me instead of taking My attention to

you. It's a very delicate line, as if we are walking on a sword. It's a very,

very delicate line of discretion. But once you know as a state within yourself,

you are discrete; you cannot be indiscrete even if you want to be. And that is

what is the ascent part.

 

So once you come out of this chakra and pass through your Agnya, you enter into

Sahasrara where you have to be discrete. Whatever then comes out from there –

blessed, whatever expression comes out – blessed, from the Sahasrara is all

discrete and beautiful.

 

Some people have a habit of dominating Me also. Like, if I'm talking, they'll

talk in-between. If I am saying something - they will come forward. Then I play

tricks, I'm good at playing tricks. But I'm very discrete, so it's all right. My

discretion plays the tricks. Because if I am direct you won't like it, so better

to be discrete and play tricks.

 

In everything that we do discretion expresses itself and if you are a solid

Sahaja Yogi or a Sahaja Yogini your discretion is evident and everybody sees it

and knows it, that it is there. So for all of you it is important to develop

your discretion today and to ask me to reside in your Hamsa chakra so that you

are all the time stationed in the power of discretion. With discretion we have

evolved to the human state and to go further we have to develop our innate

discretion which I think is the essence of all the religions, of all the

adventures we have had, of all the lives which we have known, is the discretion

around which everything moves.

 

May God bless you all. May God bless you all.
