Everybody claims they are the chosen ones - Part 1

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

In 1992 Shri Mataji stated that, " Everybody claims that they are the chosen

ones, but they are just the same. "

The thing is, if people are the chosen ones, they will live their life in the

choice manner of the Spirit/Higher Self. That is the bottom line. There is no

point in saying that ones are the chosen ones, if they do not show it by leading

the choice life. It is not by their declaration that they're the chosen ones,

but by their produce of spiritual fruit which others can taste and enjoy, that

leads them to Self realization, to God realization:

 

" Rakhi Purnima is a day of great significance. On that day you should ask for

perfection, make big decisions and keep attention on high ideals. Sahaja Yogis

should not destroy their attention on trifle issues. Lot of work has yet to be

done. Those Sahaja Yogis who have progressed should get busy. New centres should

be opened. People should be cured of their diseases and their attention should

be drawn towards God realization. "

Everyone claims they are the chosen ones - Part 1

 

It's very nice to see all of you here--so many of you from Australia--to worship

Shiva, Sadashiva. I think this is a very important occasion. It is important

because Sadashiva, the God Almighty, who is One, is expressed on your heart as

Spirit, the Shiva. We have to understand that so many people came on this earth,

at different times, in different countries, and they talked to different people

about righteousness--that is Dharma--about how to elevate yourself. And all of

them have said that you have to be reborn. That is, you have to become the

Spirit. They have all said the same thing, because they knew without the

attention being filled with the light of the spirit, you will not be able to

understand spirituality. You have the Spirit within you, which is all the time

in a witness state.

 

Why all the religions have failed? Because they did not get their

Self-realisation. They did not become the Spirit. So there's a tremendous

difference between you and all others who profess some religion. It looks as if

they are hypocrites. They intellectualise it, as you know. They explain it very

well, but you can see very clearly that they haven't absorbed spirituality. That

absorption was impossible without Self-Realisation. This everybody felt. Buddha

went to this limit and Mahavira both, to say that " Forget about God. Forget

about god Almighty. You just get your Self, your Self-realisation. " So they are

called as atheists - Nirishwarvadi - they don't believe in Ishwara. But they

felt that the way people are, just talking about God Almighty and what the books

have said...... these books also speak of righteousness, except in some books

there has been some sort of interference. But most of them speak of spirituality

and what you have to achieve, what is the purpose of religion. All that is

spoken very well, written very well. They'll tell you " You have to be this, you

have to be that. This is not good, that is not good " .

 

So even the first state, where the Dharma has to be established, was not

established, where people are not supposed to cheat each other. There has to be

justice, there has to be collectivity, there has to be love and understanding.

No jealousies, no hypocrisy, where it's a different race, a different community.

We can call it a different civilisation, is to be created.

 

Everybody claims that they are the chosen ones, but they are just the same.

There's a tremendous achievement of Sahaja Yogis that they have achieved this

state of Spirit. So now you can absorb Dharma without any difficulties, without

any difficulties. You would not like to cheat your neighbour. You would not like

to kill any one. You would not like to be violent with anyone. You will stick

onto the truth. The truth - very few people can stick onto the truth. Then, you

are not people who are going to rob others. You have no intention at all -

doesn't come into your mind - that you are tempted to take away things from

others.

 

First of all, which is the most important thing, [is] that you have a rapport

with God Almighty; that you are, in a way, in awe about God. There is awe, not,

I would say, fear. Because fear is all dispelled. There is no more fear for you.

But you have awe for God that he is God Almighty. You won't cheat people. You

won't cheat Sahaja Yoga for money. You won't fight for power or for something

that is material. All your attention will be towards the expansion of your

awareness in the light of the Spirit. This is the vision of your Mother. Because

Shiva is just a witness. Sadashiva is just witnessing all this play. He doesn't

have any visions about it. But now he must have lots of hopes after seeing the

kind of people that are created out of Sahaja Yoga.
