So, on this day, we have to think how He was resurrected for us

[Guest guest]

Shri Mataji: " So, on this day, we have to think how He was resurrected for

us " ....

 

Here, how people are playing around with Christ's life. They call themselves

Christians and they show no respect to His life at all. He is " the becoming " he

talked about. He didn't talk about all those nonsensical things. Secondly, we

show no respect. There is no awe in our hearts that he is the one who has

created universes after universes. And what are we compared to him? What ego

human beings have, like bubbles. Of course, he was made of the Brahman itself,

the Divine Love itself, so he could not be killed. Moreover, he had to be born

after Krishna, because Krishna has said that this Divine power of God does not

die; it is not killed. Just to prove that, he took this form, this gross form of

(Jesus) Christ. He came on this Earth, but human beings have no eyes to see

anything. They know what a diamond is, they know what a precious cloth is, but

they don't know what a precious thing it was that he came onto this earth.

 

Now think of it; the situation was horrible, no question of talking to anyone

about God or about realization. But even to talk about dharma itself,

righteousness, was very difficult. I mean what ignorance must have covered those

people that they crucified Him! Then even the disciples never recognized Christ.

When He was crucified they said: " Now He's dead " . Then when He rose, nobody

would believe it.

 

They have all kinds of theories, even about the shroud. Of course, there was a

cloth which was tied onto his face which was pulled up; that's why his face

looks slightly disfigured. But that cloth was just left there. I mean, what is

so important about the shroud? I can't understand it. It's the blood of Christ.

The ignorance with which people looked at him, one should be ashamed of oneself.

You can't imagine if you see from that angle, how people are managing themselves

with their ego and living in complete darkness and self-certifying that they are

the people who can judge even God, and they hardly allowed Him to live for three

or four years! He did not do any harm, whatsoever, to anyone.

 

You cannot blame any community for that [i.e., the crucifixion]. If He was born

in India, they might have done the same. What did they do to Mohammed Sahib? The

same thing. But why are there so many thieves as shown in His [Christ's] life?

Only as a contrast, were they allowed to get out. Why was this compromise

possible [with thieves] and why was it not with Christ? Do we also do the same

thing today, that we compromise ourselves with thieves who are negative people

and we do not mind Christ being crucified?

 

Now, as you know, He created all the Brahmandas. 'Brahmanda' means a Universe.

Now the Universe of the Sun, out of that Universe has come the Earth. Out of

that [the Earth] you have come out, and in your Agnya Chakra [Narrow Gate] He

created a 'small Virata' as they call it. He exists within your Agnya Chakra.

This sacrifice is very, very significant and though it is [in the] gross, in the

subtle, it has to happen, to take the awareness through this center of Agnya

[Narrow Gate]; was done by Christ, by His crucifixion. He came as a gross [i.e.,

physical] person, just like a gross human being. His body died, but did not die,

because that body was also made of that imperishable Divine vibrations, as you

call the 'radiations' or this 'Brahma'. They [Divine

vibrations/radiations/Brahma] did not die and that's why the body did not

[ultimately] die and He resurrected with His body. He had to die to show that

the body--though dies--can be saved. That's why He had to be crucified.

Otherwise, He could not have shown you, but His actualizing that He died and

then resurrected was to show that this [Divine vibrations/radiations/Brahma]

does not die.

 

Krishna has said, " It " [Divine vibrations/radiations/Brahma] is not killed by

any weapon, neither is it burnt by any fires, nor is it blown by any wind;

nothing can suck it. " That Spirit is " He " . When they saw His Being resurrected,

they started saying, " Oh, He is the One! " Then his disciples believed Him! What

ignorance, what darkness! It's like telling an ant about human civilization.

 

As this gross [physical] happening took place, in the subtler, also, the same

happening had to take place. Like when you say 'Moses crossed the river', this

was the happening of the Void being crossed by the Primordial Master--so in the

'subtle' whatever is done, is expressed in the gross, in this manner. But you

cannot crucify Him again. Now, He has become Ekadesha Rudra, as described:

 

[There are] the eleven Rudras, as you know very well. These are all the powers

of Shiva given to Him. Up till now, till He was born, Krishna had given Him his

powers - and that He became Mahavirata [means] He was placed even above Krishna.

But, now when He will come, He will be bestowed with the destructive powers of

Shiva, eleven of them.

 

One of them is sufficient to finish all the Universes and that's what is

described as 'the Coming of The Christ'. You cannot crucify Him anymore and the

time has come for all of us to be prepared to receive Him. We are not yet ready

to receive Him; unless and until you are realized, you cannot receive Him.

Because, if you remain 'unrealized' till He comes, you'll be finished, you'll be

gone, you'll be destroyed. He has just come to destroy all the nonsensical

things. So this short time should be used for your emancipation and for your

development.

 

But when we think of Christ; how human beings 'you see' put up pretenses. All

kinds of pretensions you see - like, they act and act 'how Christ was

crucified'. They wear all the beautiful jewels and everything and they will

enact. It's a mockery going on! If you really come to resurrection, then you

must awaken Christ within you, yourself, in the agnya chakra [Narrow Gate]. If

you cannot do it, then all this enactment.....even in Spain, they say they are

enacting 'as crucified'....I mean, this is mockery going on in this world! We

are living with pretensions and falsehoods of all these things, that are going

to take us nowhere. We have to 'face ourselves'. We have to 'awaken Christ

within ourselves'. We have to bow to Him in full understanding of how great He

is.

 

On the contrary, we always bend towards people who are pretentious, who make a

circus out of Him - it's a mockery going on everywhere. This carrying the cross,

or any [such] drama, I mean, it was such a miserable thing and [then] to enact

it! I don't know why people want to do that! I just can't understand, i can't

bear it! But I mean, if you have feelings, you can see within yourself that it

cannot be a ceremony, a ritual, to be sacrificed and to be resurrected. " It's

the actuality, it's the becoming " . It's not any drama and [yet] people want to

see a drama like that and be satisfied. For us, Sahaja Yogis ['born of the

Spirit persons'] it is important to understand the significance of Christ's life

- that His body was the only body made of these radiations. All other bodies

were human bodies. All the incarnations, even that of Krishna's when He came on

this earth, were having human qualities - that 'Mother Earth' existed in the

body.

 

For us, Sahaja Yogis ['born of the Spirit persons'] it is important to

understand the significance of Christ's life - that His body was the only body

made of these radiations. All other bodies were human bodies. All the

incarnations, even that of Krishna's when He came on this earth, were having

human qualities - that 'Mother Earth' existed in the body.

 

Now, the Mother Earth exists as a magnetic force; She's nothing but a magnetic

force. [The magnetic force] is the only part of the energy of Christ; then it

cannot be destroyed. But as human beings we are very gross, and the magnetic

force of the Mother Earth, we also do not know, we do not feel it within

ourselves. The day we start feeling that magnetic force within us, we'll give up

all these nonsensical movements of extremes. We'll settle down into our gravity,

but we are not even sensitive to that magnetic force, as the birds are! After

realization, you do become subtle enough to feel that magnetic force, and you

can ask the Mother Earth to take away your problems, to take away your sins.

She'll suck it; once you become that subtle, She'll work it out, no doubt! But

you have to become 'that subtle'. Unless and until you become that evolved, you

cannot touch Her subtler side, which is the magnetic force. Whilst Christ's body

was made of the magnetic force, itself.

 

Now, when he was resurrected they celebrate the Sunday. Because as you have seen

that He has millions and millions of suns and He is made of sun. He's the

essence of sun. The sun has got the force of oxygen within it and this oxygen is

responsible for creating Brahmandas after Brahmandas [universes after

Universes]. You see, when the sun's rays fall on the tree--we take everything

for granted--the tree blossoms, yields fruits, the fruits have seeds and then

again they sprout into trees. Without the sun, nothing would exist on this

Earth, and that is why we worship Him on a Sunday. Because He was sun, actually

we can say He resides in Sun.

 

Now, when we go to the left, we actually go very much away from Him to the

negative side. We become very negative. Like, when we go to the left

side--(which you know)--we grow much away from Him, and our Agnya [Narrow Gate]

gets 'caught-up', as you say--the back side of it. [When] you [go] 90 [degrees]

out to your right extremes, then you disown Him; you cross your limits. You

cannot go beyond Him, and that is how, when you get to the right, you cross all

sense of decency, decorum and humility. So in both ways, you go in the opposite

directions, much away from Him.

 

'Ego' is the result of the right hand movement, because the Christ, in essence,

does not create the necessary action on people who move to the right and also on

the left. So, on one side He fights the left side, the superego and on the other

side He fights the ego of human beings.

 

That's why you have seen, if you are possessed you have to take the name of

Christ. Only His name can take you away from your possessions. The Lord's Prayer

has got all the essence to take away the possessions. But not Lord's Prayer said

by any Dick, Tom or Harry. He is to be connected with Lord Jesus Christ - then

only if you say it, it has an effect and such a mantra is an awakened mantra.

 

When you move on to the right hand side, you have to be humble in your heart,

because He resides in your heart as spirit, because He is The Spirit, and this

spirit gets insulted when you go too much on the right hand side - and that's

why ego-oriented people get heart trouble. [When someone moves] on the left hand

side, in the superego area, Christ is a terror [to them]. They are frightened of

His name. They run away from Him because they know the Ekadesha Rudra ['Power']

that He is.

 

So, on the one side He's mild in the sense that He recedes away from people who

are egotistical, ego-orientated. He doesn't like buffoons and idiots. The donkey

that He was riding, is a suggestion of these 'donkeys' who are ego oriented. He

tried to control the donkey.

 

But the left hand side are the people, these horrible negative people - they get

frightened of Him, absolutely frightened. You take Christ's name and they just

run away, depart. No, nothing doing, they're not going to face Him - " Oh God! "

Now, this mark is the sign of His blood actually. Even if you show this color,

they will run away.

 

But, one has to understand the significance of Christ, with patience and with

humility, because He is the One who has created Universes after Universes. Here,

you cannot just sit at a table and say, 'Let's have it out, lets discuss this'.

There's no dogma going on! He's a 'Living God' and 'Living' cannot be discussed

by human beings.

 

You have to become superhuman beings to discuss Him, to understand Him! And, the

more you rise, the more you are filled with awe: " Oh, God! " And you realize that

He is the support of the Universe - " He is our Support " . Then you feel very

powerful - that nobody can possess you, if He is your support. But you cannot

just sort of 'possess Christ as your own'. You cannot say " Christ is mine " , you

cannot! Nobody can possess Him. You have to surrender to Him, so that you become

His possessions, so that He looks after you.

 

His greatness cannot be described in words. As a Child, and as a Son, He is the

Giver of Joy. One cannot describe how He looked after His Mother. It's

impossible. No words can describe the understanding of Christ for His Mother -

His love, His gentleness, His care, His devotion and dedication, cannot be

described. And you know that He came as an 'evolved Sri Ganesh' and at the back

[Agnya/Narrow Gate] He's 'Sri Ganesh' and at the front [Agnya/Narrow Gate] He's

'Kartikeya' - very powerful, eleven Rudras, and this has given Him the highest

position. So, on this day, we have to think how He was resurrected for us.

 

More than Him, His Mother had to suffer His crucifixion. It was too much because

She knew all these things were going to happen, and She was in the human form as

a Mother - and Her only loving Son, being crucified in Her presence.

 

We should not glorify the Cross for the one reason of 'Christ being crucified on

that' - but the cross is the sign of the Agnya Chakra [Narrow Gate]; also

because in the same way the swastika, which is equally distributed, is expressed

as an evolved symbol that is a 'cross'. So, when we glorify the cross, we are

glorifying our Agnya Chakra [Narrow Gate], by which we accept the life of

dedication and of sacrifice. And if we look forward after the cross, we know

that it is the Resurrection and the Resurrection that you are going to actualize

in this lifetime.

 

But now, give up all nonsensical ideas about your seeking, and useless

ramblings. 'Seeking' means not knowing about anything, but [desiring to] become

something. For that, Christ crucified Himself. He resurrected Himself, so that

you all could be resurrected! So, you have to, today, thank Him for giving you

'the lead' of resurrection - and in this lifetime only, you are going to be

resurrected and you are going to see with your own eyes, your resurrection, as

the disciples saw the resurrection of Christ. This has all been promised, and

this must happen to all of you.

 

So we should rejoice and be happy that the time has come for the resurrection

and such a great event we are facing. We are such a people - [we have to] give

up our small visions and our petty hankerings, our small little lives in which

we live like frogs. Expand yourself and think that today you are facing the

drama of mass resurrection, not only that, but you are maneuvering it.

 

So rejoice and be happy that what Christ did 2,000 years back, today we are

going to do it! That's why Easter is a special day for all of us. It really is a

very special day because in our lives the death has died and we are resurrected!

 

May God Bless You.
