See the Content within Us

 

So the content within us, we have to see. And when we start seeing the content, where do we find in the nature there is real content? We see the sea; sea is there you see, full of water. So much of water it sucks in from everywhere, and then it allows itself to be boiled by the sun and gives rain. But sea is the lowest level, stands at the lowest level and sucks in all the water from everywhere. In the same way a Sahaja yogi must know that to be really achieving more content, we have to be not at a higher level outside. It’s said in the Bible, “You have to be meek,” but I think it was not explained to people. Only the strong people can be meek, secured people can be meek, only the rich in essence can be meek, not the people who are insecured. Because they are insecured, how can they be meek? And not the people whom we think are rich, so-called, because if they are rich they are not generous, they are not satisfied, they are not philanthropic, so they are not rich. They are still greedy beggars.

So the content within us is to be seen. What is our content? You love Me, I love you – it’s very good. But when you love Me, you have to know that there are certain qualities which are very lovable in a Sahaja yogi. Actually people get lost even after Sahaja Yoga. They think they can get over everything, they’re perfectly all right, and they are thrown overboard. So when we say that we have to be meek, this is a content, the humility is a content. So try to that, try to be humble with someone. You’ll like yourself. You’ll enjoy that quality within this that, “You see, I’m humbler than another person.”

And what is another thing we find has content are the great mountains, because they have heights and they are the only ones who can capture the clouds. So such a rapport there is between the humility of the ocean and the heights of the mountain. That’s how a Sahaja yogi should be. He is too high because so much of content is there in that ocean, then it has become beautiful like clouds and touched his height, his Kailasha where resides the Shiva. So it’s so joy-giving. "
