The Truth which is beyond Dharma - Part 5

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 4 with the following:

 

" Like, supposing a stone becomes gold. Then it is gold. It won't be proud that

'I am gold'. Gold is gold! Why will it be proud of that? In the same way, this

consciousness of being a Sahaja Yogi drops out. Still it lingers, so one has to

be careful that once you are a Sahaja Yogi, you are a Sahaja Yogi--so what? 'I'm

a Sahaja Yogi'--so what? [it's] nothing so great. It's like saying that I have a

nose, you see--to be proud of to say [that] " I have a nose " you see. What is

there, a nose is already there--what is there to be proud of?

 

But this pride has to go. That's very important to realize that: 'I'm not there,

I am no more, I am One with the Whole, become the Ocean, this drop of mine. I

don't know if there are any boundaries left in me'.......This kind of

consciousness develops in you, when your consciousness is filled with Joy only.

Just with Joy and bubbling with Love. Bubbling with Love. You go on, you see,

expressing your Love whether you talk or you don't talk, whether you say about

it or you don't, whether you are smiling or not. This Joy is in your heart. "

The Truth which is beyond Dharma - Part 5

 

Now, the heart Chakra here--the Pita of the heart Chakra, gets filled with the

Light of Truth. But that Truth is not such an absurd thing that we [commonly]

know of as truth. For, if somebody asks Me 'What is truth?' - so, I say that 'It

was written a long time back, that you should speak the Truth, and speak

something that people will like', " Satyam vadet, priyam vadet " . Then people

said, 'How can you make these two things [together]? Truth may not be palatable

and could be something that you say which people like, [but] may be false. So,

how to make these two things meet?' So Krishna gave a very good answer. He said

it's like this: " Satyam vadet, hitam vadet, priyam vadet " --- " You say the truth,

truth you must say, but that truth should be good, or should be liked, or should

be appreciated, or should be nourishing for your Spirit, by which there is

benevolence which creates benevolence--and [so] then, a thing has to be

'priya'. " [1]

 

In the beginning people may not like [something said to correct them] and say

that " he [or she] said horrible things to me " , or whatever it is. But at the end

of it they will say that 'See, it is so good that this was said to me', that I,

[shri Mataji] have done something perfect. But in any case, there is no need to

say something very harsh or hard to anyone. That is not your job, to go on

correcting all the rest of the people. To begin with, many Sahaja Yogis I have

seen have been saying: 'You've got this Chakra caught up; you've got that Chakra

caught up'. All this is the play of Ego. You have no business to condemn anyone.

You have come from such a condemned condition yourself, so why are you

condemning others?

 

The only thing is, if you are capable, if you are equipped, if you are matured

enough in Sahaja Yoga, then you will just take it up as a great challenge of

Love. And you will do it. But you won't go on condemning that person, finding

faults with that person. It's a very good excuse [to condemn/find fault] if you

don't want to do it [i.e., take up the challenge of Love].

 

Supposing somebody is sick, and the doctor doesn't know how to cure them, so

what does he do? He says, 'You see, you are sick because this happened, because

you went in the cold, because this ... Harebaba'. " Yes, but now I'm sick. So

what about curing me? " 'No, because you did this', 'because you did that', 'you

should not have done this'. He will go on about all the past mistakes. In the

same way we go on that 'you did like this', that 'you were like this', 'you went

to the farlana guru', 'you did this kind of a mistake, that's why you are like

this'. No, don't tell him anything! Just work it out and it works. Of course,

you can ask if he had been to some Guru, but don't condemn, don't criticise.

There is no need to condemn anybody for what mistakes they have committed.

 

This [taking up of the challenge of Love] is all coming from the consciousness

that you are better equipped, that you have all the knowledge. You have--you are

very knowledgeable. I must say you are very knowledgeable--you are the Gnostics.

All that I accept. But as long as you are aware of it, you are not [that]. Once

you are not aware of it, then you are that what is called 'Sahaja Yogi'. So I

would expect all of you to have this new development in their Sahasrara. In your

Sahasrara. In everybody's Sahasrara.

 

We have to think of the whole world. We cannot just think of Sahaja Yogis and

also about the seekers. Seekers are there, alright. But what about the rest?

There are so many problems there. And so many things are to be done. For

example, now we have a problem in India of poverty. So, I am trying to do

something for them. You have problems in your countries. You should find out

what problems there are. You can start some sort of a movement for them, try to

help them as far as possible. It's not 'missionary like' that you convert

somebody for some sort of a reward, or for some name that you have to do it. You

just do it for your pleasure. Because it's your pleasure to do it!

That's how you will go to the society, and you won't be afraid that you will be

'caught up'.

 

I know of one couple, when I asked them: " Why don't you start working it out " ,

so they said: " Mother, we are afraid our ego will come back. " They are afraid of

themselves only, [that] their ego will come back. So, all these problems should

be dropped out and you should reach that state where you don't have all these

fears--all these non-sensical ideas about yourself. You are powerful. You have

powers! Not only that, but you have been especially bestowed with those powers.

But if you don't want to use it, then what are you? If a lamp is not

enlightened, then what is this lamp for? Just for decoration. So, this [Light]

has to be used. And this has to be used without feeling that awareness within

you that you are something great--better than others--something selected, or

also they say that 'we are chosen.'

 

So, this [enlightenment] can spread very fast with such grace and understanding.

All kinds of stupid people are there. It's alright. You know they are stupid

people. Just laugh at them, make fun of them [i.e., 'make fun with them'] and

that's how you can solve the problem. But even that, you should do it in such a

way that you don't hurt them--that whatever you do, you should see the

results--what works out. The result should be such that you should see how it

works out with some people. That's the intelligence, I think. That's the

superior intelligence, by which you know how to say things, what things to say

and how to work it out. Love, this Divine love, gives you a complete control

over yourself. And you know everything--how to behave, how to talk to people,

how to manage them.

 

I don't know what is the worst thing among human beings. According to Krishna,

it was temper; hot temper was the worst thing. But according to Me, it is

jealousy. Jealousy of any kind is absolutely, I should say, like a scum. In

Sahaja Yoga also, people feel jealous and they may not say so because I don't

like it, but they may create problems. They may try to create problems among

each other. So one thing, you should have a watch on your mind [to see] if there

is any kind of jealousy.

 

I'm rather worried sometimes. Supposing I want to give some present to some

people - then I'm worried that I shouldn't do something that will create

jealousy. We should not [have jealousy]: 'Mother might have forgotten', or 'It's

alright; She's running short of it', 'It's alright'. But people have that kind

of a very sharp sense of jealousy even in Sahaja Yoga. Now, supposing I meet

somebody and I don't meet somebody else - finished! That person develops a

jealousy for the person whom I meet. Sometimes, people pester Me too much:

" Mother, I must meet you, I must meet you. " I don't know why. Why do you want to

meet Me? I am all over - " everywhere " - as you say. Then what is the need that

you should meet Me and talk to Me; what is the need? It's not for you alone I am

[here]. I am [here] for everyone. But some people think that they have a special

right on Me, and they think that I must meet them individually. Otherwise they

feel very bad.

 

All these things have to go away in a big way when you Become, as I said, the

Ocean. Then you are not bothered what shore you go [to], where you travel--you

are not bothered. You are only with the Ocean, moving up and down. That is how

it's a Living Ocean of Love and that's what we have to develop to. Without

dominating others, without showing off it should be. The whole thing should be

contented within ourselves. In Hindi it is said better: " Apne me samaia hue " --

" You should be 'all' within yourself " . And that's the most enjoyable thing

because, you see, [it's about] what we want. Supposing I want something for

myself, you see, so I will strive and get it. But this is something that if you

have it within yourself, you're fully filled within yourself!

 

So what is most important, what is so much needed? Nothing. You are completely

filled with your Self, contented within yourself, and then you want to share.

This is the ideal way of dealing with Sahasrara, I think, and I am sure the day

will come when this whole World's Sahasrara has to be opened out. This is what

we have to do - and we are not going to disappear into some exclusive places.

That is just for meditation, you can go there, but not for escaping from the

world. That is not the idea. The idea is for meditation, for your growth, that

it would be a nice place to go.

 

It's very important to understand how valuable you are. How remarkably important

you are. Born at this time, you got your realisation, for what? To emancipate

this world, to transform human beings, to take the whole of this world into the

realm of God. That is what you are here for.

 

May God bless you.
