Everybody claims they are the chosen ones - Part 4

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 3 with the following:

 

" Also, the collectivity you have now is tremendous. It is not only in Australia

you have the collectivity. But the other day I telephoned to someone in India

and told them, " I am buying an ashram in Brisbane " . They said, " Mother, it's a

very great thing. We are very happy. " Now for an Indian what is there to be

happy if we buy an ashram in Brisbane " . So overjoyed about it. To them Brisbane

is the same as Bombay or Delhi. The heart has become so large because Shiva is

shining there, the Spirit is shining. It has become such a large heart that it

encompasses the whole universe, I think, the way people look at it. That's why

you all have become universal people. You don't only read about Vishwa Nirmala

Dharma. You don't only know about it through your mind. You don't only try to

follow it, but you have imbibed it within yourself. Which is so Sahaj, which you

are not aware of it - how in a Sahaj way it has come to you. "

Everybody claims they are the chosen ones - Part 4

 

Now you know Australia was full of racialism once upon a time. Nobody was

allowed to come in there. Might be fifty years back or so. But today in

Australia what a change it is! Though they talked of Christianity and all those

things, but they didn't think what Christ has said. They were just the opposite

of Christianity. Islam is the same. Islam talks of very great things. But it has

to be confessed that the Moslems have nothing to do with Islam. Is absolutely

from outside. If you see Christianity, you have a very, very funny idea about

it. If you ask any Hindu gentleman about Christianity, they will say they are

the worst possible people. Very cunning, very aggressive and it takes them no

time to kill each other. Imagine! Disciples of Christ. But if you ask a

Christian about a Moslem he will tell you, " Oh! These Moslems are the most

quarrelsome, dirtiest people ever born. " Fundamentalist. They are all

fundamentalist. Whether it's a Hindu, Christian, Moslem, anyone, they are

fundamentalist because they are reading one book. And that too, just reading.

The book also doesn't go inside. If the book goes inside, they will realise that

all these books are telling the same thing under different names, that's all.

 

But that universal thing you have got, thanks to your Spirit, that was there,

quite intact, and which has started shining within you. So we have now a new

community, a new civilisation of people who are extremely honest with

themselves, honest to each other. They are extremely righteous and good people.

They are absolutely non-violent, absolutely law abiding, very loving,

affectionate. At the same time extremely constructive, and at the same time very

intelligent. They understand Sahaja Yoga.

 

It's such a subtle subject. Sahaja Yoga is such a subtle subject, because you

know everybody has failed to make people understand anything about truth.

Impossible situation. But this was the trick: your Spirit. Once your Spirit is

enlightened it goes into your head without any difficulties. Absolutely Sahaj.

You don't know how difficult is this subject of Sahaja Yoga.

 

It is such a fulfilment of the desire of the Divine that your divinity is now

expressing itself. When you are collective you are more enjoying each other. You

enjoy collective life. Individualism is against the spirit of the whole. But we

have our own varieties. The way you live in other countries, in other

atmospheres, with other traditions - that's how you are living. But among

ourselves we have the same faith. The faith which is enlightened, which is not

blind faith. Enlightened faith. Firstly that you are realised souls. Secondly

that there is an all-pervading power. We have the same type of worship - whether

it is Christ, whether it is Mohammed Sahib or whether it is Shiva. We all

worship with the same way. We do not have a, sort of a, difference of opinion on

that. Like one church becoming ten churches. And one Hinduism becoming ten

Hinduisms. It's not like that.

 

We are all Sahaja Yogis, and we have all got the same principle binding us in a

Sahaj manner. We don't have to say, " Oh! We have to be principled. We have to be

on this principle. We are Sahaja Yogis. " You have to be there absolutely,

because you have to be there. You just can't help it, because in your nature now

the Spirit is shining. Also, you are becoming archetypes, I should say, in the

real sense of the word, for the people who are not in Sahaj.

 

Such people are not available anywhere. When people will see you they will think

that, " What a model it is! What a model of life! They don't drink, they don't

smoke. They don't boast of it. They don't hate anyone. They love any one. They

are so dynamic. They are so creative. They are so constructive. They are so

self-contented. They are not at all competitive. They cause no problem to

Nature. They cause no problem to anything. They have become such beautiful

people. Who are these people? " Such beautiful people are the models.

 

So now, individually, you have to understand this part, that we have to be

models in this country of Australia. Model of good behaviour, good language,

decent life, decorous life. Not fighting with husband, fighting with wife. You

see you open any television, just get a headache. I mean there's no other thing

but a husband fighting wife and wife fighting husband. There should be wisdom

about it. Fighting among yourselves. You see so many people have gathered in a

pub. What will happen? That pub will burst out. We can never sit silent.

 

The Mayor of Cabella told me, it surprises me that, " In the church we are

sitting for half an hour and then we start nudging each other.... how long is it

going to take now? Better get out. We get tired. And what are these people doing

for hours together with you? How are they so spellbound? They don't feel tired.

I think they are special people. " I said, " They are. They are. " " And what do

they do? " " They don't do anything. They are just in joy. " He couldn't understand

that once we had a Puja, Guru Puja, for about six hours altogether. And they

were surprised that, " How these people are sitting? " And all the people they

were. All the villagers. Mostly they are elderly. They thought that, " These

angels have come from somewhere. They are angelic people. They don't trouble

you. They don't torture you. They look after you. They try to be kind to you.

Not only that but they try to bring joy to you. " They were so surprised in that

village.

 

First they used to call me " Princess " . Then they started calling me " Goddess " .

Then they said, " You are Madonna " . Whatever they could think of the best, they

started saying all those things. They want now to come to Sahaja Yoga. But I

said, " Let us see now, after some time we'll work it out for them also " .

 

They are so nice now by seeing how the Sahaja Yogis are. Because I seldom go

out. But seeing the way Sahaja Yogis are, that the land behind the house was not

even given to Prince Dorio, who was willing to pay a lot of money, because he

wanted to have a road that way. But to me they rushed forward and at a very

nominal price they gave me that land, they said, " It is for you only. Please

have it. " The whole village is getting into transformation. But the dedication

you have is very remarkable, surprises me, really surprises me. I never taught

too much. But the way you are dedicated in everything, everyone who is not a

Sahaja Yogi will be charmed the way you are dedicated - to Sahaja Yoga, to me.

Sometimes I think, " What have I done? I've done nothing " . You had your

Kundalini. You had your Spirit. That's all.

 

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.
