Everybody claims they are the chosen ones - Part 5

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 4 with the following:

 

" But such a difference! With little distance you covered. And such a difference!

Can you imagine an Indian woman coming to Australia, finding this love, this

affection and this dedication? Unbelievable! They all think that I must be

mesmerising you. Nobody can believe that you could be that dedicated, take so

much trouble, so much care. I mean just imagine the flowers that you have

brought. Just imagine all this you have done. I mean just imagine the way they

brought another big car so that your Mother should be brought here without any

difficulties. All this love. All this affection, this prayer. I never asked for

anything. I could have walked down. If you had said, " We have to walk " , I would

have walked, I would never have said no.

 

I never expected all these things. But the way you want to express your love to

me, this dedication, is so much. And you sacrifice so much for that. Really you

are sacrificing quite a lot - your time, your effort, to come all the way to

this far off place for this Puja. All the gain that you have from Puja is only

possible when you are a realised soul. Otherwise it is useless. "

Here now, is Part 5.

Everybody claims they are the chosen ones - Part 5

 

To do any Puja, any worship, people go to church, sing few hymns and come back.

They are just the same. And afterwards go to the pub, because they think pub is

the only place where they can get some joy. One has to exert, one has to

sacrifice.

 

Though I may say that Sahaja Yoga is the easiest thing, you don't have to go to

Himalayas, to stand on your head and all that. But still you have to sacrifice

your time, your attention. Formerly you might be going to some rock music, you

might be going to some pubs also. You might be enjoying all these things. But

you have given up everything. Without my telling you just have given up, and you

are so pure now. Your attention is so pure you can't enjoy all these things.

 

Don't you think it's very remarkable that this has happened? This community I

don't have to tell you. I don't have to educate. I must say that all these

things you have given up. Suddenly I find that all of you have become so clean,

so beautiful, your chakras so clean. Is it that these are your Purwa Punyas that

is working out? But still I would say you must know your self-esteem, that you

are Sahaja Yogis. And how can you behave like this if you are a Sahaja Yogi?

 

You cannot. Now you are a Sahaja Yogi. So that dignity, that wisdom has to be

there. The compassion, the love, the unit of purpose should be there. All over

the world you have brothers and sisters. This brotherhood and sisterhood is

everywhere. You have Rakhi sisters. You have very pure relationships. Anything

impure is just thrown out in a Sahaj manner. Those who do not fit into it just

get out of it.

 

We have now very beautiful families, very beautiful children. Just think of it.

Moses saved some Jews, but what are they good for?--Nothing. What's the use of

saving such people? Then Christ came and talked about this, and this is what has

happened to Christianity. Mohammed came and talked of very nice things, I must

tell you. He never made it a rigid religion. Never! It was very flexible, and he

said, " You must get the knowledge " . So, according to them knowledge was to read

the book, and to interpret it, and to be an intellectual.

 

After that came Guru Nanak also. You know all that. What has happened to Sikhs?

Where they have gone? Sikh means the person who has learned, learned the divine

laws. If I say, " You have to follow the divine laws " . How? You are not

connected. You don't know what the divine laws are. " Just we want to follow

divine laws. " Now you are hanging somewhere on this earth. The divine laws are

working there. How are you going to work out the divine laws, if you are not

connected?

 

But you know immediately what are the divine laws. You are going against it. As

soon as you go against it you know you can feel it on your central nervous

system. You can feel it on your hands, that you are doing something against the

divine laws. Immediately you know. And if you are alert, you'd immediately try

to change. You'll think, " That's not correct. This is the truth about myself. "

You start judging yourself all the time, and you want to put yourself right

because you don't like it that way.

 

So many ideas you have about your personal life - that, you see, there should be

a wife who should spoil me, or a husband who should spoil me, my child should be

like this. And all finished now. What do you want? " I want a real Sahaja Yogini.

I want a real Sahaja Yogi to marry. " And after that the marriage becomes a

blessing. How? How these flowers have come out - that's how. It's all innately

built within you, all this beauty. You just start showing. But it has to sprout.

It has to come up. This penance, so-called, is no penance to you. They say, " We

are enjoying this place " . I mean it's a place for penance only, the way things

are here. There are not even closed bathrooms. People are finding rather

difficult to take a bath even. It's quite a penance to come to such a far

fetched place. Or to travel in Maharashtra is another big penance. But you enjoy

it. I mean you are missing, they said, " We are missing our buses " . I said,

" Really! " I thought you would be happy. " No, no, Mother we are missing. " I mean

it was an adventure for them. They liked the way they were jostled and there

were even hiccups. They were very happy about it, that all this was raised. This

was like an adventure.

 

Everything which we call as Tapasya or as the penance becomes an adventure for

you. And the way they describe is very interesting. Like these musicians, they

went to Russia and got lost. And when they came back, and they were describing

the whole thing with such description, as if God was just taking them from

places to places. How they were helped. Every moment, how they came to Italy,

sudden, and how they came to Milan, to the Ashram. The whole description is

tremendous.

 

Now think of what you have achieved. But you can't even think! You just achieve.

Without thinking you achieve things. It's the blessing of your Spirit, blessing

of Shiva. The Spirit is the witness, and you develop that witness state. To you,

all this looks like a funny stage where people are doing this and that -

politics, economics. You see as something absurd.

 

I went down to Russia. There were so many Russians. I told them that, " There's a

very bad shape. The politics is here now, and you are having very bad times with

your food " . " No, Mother, we've no problem with food or anything. But for what do

we care? We have got the spiritual food. Let these people fight, do whatever. We

are not bothered. " They were least bothered as there was a coup or anything -

least bothered about it. " Let them fight. Let them do what they like. We are in

a different situation. " I said, " Which situation you are? " " We are in the

Kingdom of God " , they told me. " We are in the Kingdom of God. Why should we

worry, these kingdoms and things. Let them fight. "

 

Such contented people! So very beautiful. You have so many brothers and sisters

there. Early in the morning I got up, and they had - I don't know when - planted

flowers on the road of my house there. Flowers all along. Rows after rows. I

didn't know when they came, when they did it, and disappeared. So sweet, I tell

you. Except for crying with joy I didn't know what to say. If this happens all

over, what a world we can have!

 

There are of course some people who are exceptional, who are troublesome, who

are not alright. It's alright. Forget about them. So now you are the people who

have understood what is God, what is Sadashiva. Now you have faith in him which

is not blind. You also know that his powers work, that his laws work. All other

laws are useless - only his laws work. You have seen, experienced in your

lifetime, how miracles are taking place, how things are working out.
