Talk by BY RAM.CHUGANI in Kobe Center some years back.

 

(Story of Angeles)

 

Let me start with one story, which Dr Hislop told us some years back

while I attended his lecture in Los Angeles .

 

He is no more with us to day but he was closes devotee of Swami and

once we invited him in Tokyo convention, as well as in Kobe. I am

sure many of you have seen him and admire him.

 

Story of Dr Hislop which Iam sharing with you.

 

In recent New Zealand conference, which started in very hilly

mountain city of Wellington, there were many many children and

seeing so many children Dr Hislop told them story of angels and when

the program was over, many children and adults came to him told him,

that they saw angels on the stage and there was Swami too.

 

Before Swami started his world mission, When Swami was very young

man. He would stay with his hostess in Madras. There was man Bob

Rayer who presented an old second station wagon to Swami and in this

Swami will make trip to Bangalore and Madras.

 

But in those days Swami will drive his own car , He will drive by

himself to Madras . The devotees will hear that Swami is going to

Madras . What they do ? They will line up or find the post of

observation along the route-way, because Swami will come in his car

in a very good speed. He Will be sitting behind the wheel like

this , and the car was buzzing along, and even more than the people

told, the car was that far, above the ground and many people have

told Hislop about this and believes that these experiences are

actual.

 

Anyway one time Swami went like this to Madras and went up to the

door of Hostess . The Hostess came to the door and saw Swami, and

said Swami Swami I am very happy to see you, but Swami you did not

tell me that you are coming and I have not got the things ready.

 

In India ,when the Lord visit the house , the house Lady feels that

she must have flowers, fruits and proper offerings to the

distinguish visitors. But she did not have any of these things so

she felt quite badly.

 

But Swami said do not worry , then Swami turned to the car and back

like that, and out of the car stepped two angels with wings and they

were carrying a great big silver trays, completely loaded with all

the things which the hostess needed to properly welcome Swami.

 

The angels handed the tray to the hostesses and then Swami made a

motion like that and the Angeles went back to the car and

disappeared. Now this story came to light some years later, when

somebody has given Swami a bus and Swami started to take the

students, wherever Swami went and one day Swami took the student in

a bus and they went to the house of same hostesses first, because

the students would stay in some other place, so let Swami get first.

 

When the Hostesses saw the student , she went back to the room And

brought out the big silver try , the very same silver try the angles

had given to her and she told the students and that is how the rest

of us came to know the story of Angeles. I am sure all of you will

enjoy the story , if you share with your loved ones.

 

Now all of us are here in this room , and around us in this

Neighborhood are hundred & thousand of very good people, very good

ladies, very good men and they are not here and so why we are here.

What is it that brings those of us here. People in general under

value them selves and let us point out to you , that how really

great you are.

 

You know Swami says that, if you choose a regular worldly person and

he is ready to sit down and listen to you and you explain to him

very carefully , the practices of spiritual life , but that person

may not understand ,even one word to what you are saying. So, Swami

said that those who come to HIM { only those whom he has called } No

body comes to see Swami, unless Swami has called that person to Him.

 

Dr Hislop asked Swami why are those people called and Swami said

that in the distant past they have engaged in very good deeds &

spiritual practices and there by they have established a saving

account and when I call them to me, then they draw on that saving

account of their merits and come here to see me.

 

So there are some persons ,sitting in this room, who despite their

present situation in life, who have a very significant life in the

past, and every one of you in the past ages has been a yogi, again

and again, or spiritual aspirant or devotee of great people. So you

are not ordinary people and it is a mistake for you to say that I am

just ordinary person, and I really can not understand and I really

do not know, how to put into practices what Swami is saying.

 

It is false statement framed up by the mind. Now let us see what all

of us want ? I, believe for talking so many people over the years,

all of us wants to experience in his own life, that which Swami is

constantly experiencing .

 

Baba says I am always in bliss, you cannot know how happy I am ? I

don't know what worry and troubles means , they have no meaning to

me at all. So we think of that state as self realization or

liberation. We know that there is state of being which is full of

joyful and happy and we are all aiming to achieving that state of

happiness.

 

So the question arise , how do we that ? How in our daily life, we

can do the things , that are necessary to open our mind, open our

hearts to reach the goal of our life. Which is the self realization

or liberation or returning to the source.

 

Now because of many books, that are printed, many things that are

said, there are so many ideas flowing around and so much

Conversation, some times it is hard to know what we should be doing.

 

We sincerely want liberation, that is what we want?? Then should we

not be thinking of that carrier or the person whom, we love, and

there is intensity there. So Hislop asked Swami, why is Swami that

all your devotees read your books and meet together and what is the

principle things, which prevents your devotees from achieving the

goal of life, which is liberation

 

Swami says the principle reason is lack of intensity. We are not

giving our hearts and minds, every moment of the day to that goal ,

to achieving that purpose and that is the principle reason. Some

times back Swami mentioned that his American devotees, are very good

people , they do good seva and they sing beautiful bhajans but they

do not know anything about spiritual life, so is the spiritual life

is that difficult ??

 

So fast way Swami says is to always keep GOD in the mind. How could

that be true . It is true for this reasons that the only reality is

GOD. Everything else is false produce Swami gave example: For

example the current is making the fan to rotate. The current is God,

so you are only the instruments. Even the fact that we think that

our eyes sees things, that is not correct, my eyes are hear, but the

mind is in Bangalore thinking of this or that. My eyes are seeing,

but my mind is somewhere else.

 

Mind is important. Body is like a torch, eye is like the bulb, mind

is the battery cell, intelligence is the switch, only when the four

work together do you get the light. Body is only like a torch. So

Swami explain the more intensity, the greater result.

 

Even that God gives for our own good, when you don't have the

hunger, why should He give you food? So Swami said when when you

have the hunger and receive the food it is useful, but if you don't

have hunger and He gives the food, you will have indigestion.

 

Even a spiritual experience, sometimes God withhold it, because God

does everything for man's good. He never does anything to harm or

give him sorrow But faith you must have. First you must grapple with

fact that duty is God and start doing your duty. (Dr Hislops talk in

Los-angeles in 1992)

 

Swami declare that I am in every one, in every being. So do not hate

any one, or cavil at any one. Spread Prema always, everywhere. That

is the best way of revering Me. Do not seek to measure Me. Or

evaluate Me. I am beyond understanding. Pray or worship for your own

satisfaction and contentment.…. BABA…..
