The Truth which is beyond Dharma - Part 2

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 1 with:

 

" For example, a person who is standing on truth, he doesn't care for any absurd

ideas about religion, even about Sahaja religion. He doesn't care that after all

'this is Sahaja, this is not Sahaja'. He goes beyond, in the sense that he sees

a global truth within himself. He sees the truth which is all pervading--not

only sees, but he knows and feels he is in the truth. So when Dharma flowers

into truth, it's a very beautiful happening. And that should happen to all of

you.

 

So many things can linger on, if you are only on the Dharma level. I've seen

people going into ego, making money. Sometimes they don't even ask me and go on

doing things, which they should not do. They do wrong things which are not good

for Sahaja Yoga. There is no humility about it and they don't understand whether

this Dharma is standing on truth or untruth. "

In Part 2, Shri Mataji describes the difference between Truth as itself and

Truth that is Love. She says that Truth as itself can be very bitter and painful

whereas Truth adorned with Love is like a flower without the thorns that becomes

a very sweet thing. Shri Mataji gives the example of Christ, where he would not

stone the prostitute like the others were doing, because he was beyond Dharma,

and in the Truth that is Love.

 

Enjoy,

The Truth which is beyond Dharma - Part 2

 

So we have to go to the foundation of Dharma which is truth. As described before

it's a tree of life which has got its roots up in the brain and the branches in

the body. So you have to go to the roots of everything, and that is the place

where you reach when you are absolutely established in Sahasrara---in the

Sahasrara are the roots of all these ideas we have, or we can say all these

swarupas we have taken. We have now become dharmic.

 

What is the root of Dharma. Why should we be dharmic? What is the need to be

dharmic? There are many people in this world who are extremely adharmic, living

very well. According to, I mean, outward expression we feel that they are very

happy people, they are all right, they are enjoying themselves, while we are

deprived perhaps of all the so-called enjoyments of these people. So at the

state of only Dharma things become very important to us which may not be

standing on truth. There are so many things like that, I can point it out to

you, that how Sahaja Yogis falter. Even after achieving Dharma state they

falter. I've seen people giving up their drugs, alcoholism, giving up other

kinds of addictions. Even their language improves and their, we can say,

behaviour is changed. They become humbler people, no doubt. But still they are

conscious that they are standing on Dharma. This consciousness has to disappear.

 

At the state of Sahasrara this consciousness disappears because truth is love

and love is truth. That is the point where the Kundalini meets the heart Chakra.

As you know the Pita of heart is here. So when the Kundalini pierces through the

heart Chakra, what starts flowing in the brain, in the Sahasrara is the truth,

but truth that is love. There's a difference between truth as itself and truth

that is love. So out of love for that prostitute [it is] that Christ stood back.

He stood on the roots of truth, no doubt, but what was flowing through his heart

was the love, the pure love.

 

So now, when we have pure love for someone, we see the whole thing in a

different manner. We see a person in a different manner. And it becomes very

sweet. Otherwise truth can be very bitter, can be very painful, but truth which

is adorned with love is just like a flower without the thorns. It's very

interesting how a person who is pouring with love and is standing on truth.

That's the personality you have to become. Now in the expression of love we can

take an example to understand. Supposing I meet somebody and he is telling all

kinds of horrible things about another person. So I feel tremendous love for him

as well as for the person who he is telling all this things. So now I take to

lie, a complete lie which is the truth also in a way. I tell that person: see

what are you talking. The person about who you are saying all this has been just

praising you all the time, and here you are talking like this. Now this is not

the truth, actually, but you take the help of the lie, the other side of the

truth, to bring out a friendship between the two persons. So this is what is the

work of love. That it tries to bring people closer to each other. To say things

by which they become one, united. So all the divisive methods that we have used

so far just disappear and we try to understand what is the method by which we

can join people's heart. As it is you are in collective consciousness. But this

collective consciousness if it is not superficial you can achieve great results

like as you have done it. Maybe you can build beautiful ashrams, you can do all

this. But when it is filled with love, collective consciousness, then the joy is

complete of collective consciousness.
