“In Sahaja Yoga, we have very clever, intelligent people. But this mind… You have to be very careful because this mind can cheat you. So ask your mind, “Why are you in Sahaja Yoga? What is the purpose of your Sahaja Yoga?” Gradually this mind will shut up. And then, you have to ask yourself that, “What is my own desire now? What do I want? What do I want to achieve? Why I am in Sahaja Yoga?” If you ask this question, you will see you’ll just dissolve, you’ ll become thoughtless because there is no desire left now.
There is no ambition left, no competition. All these qualities are of the brain, or we can say, of the intellect, which makes you competitive, which makes you also jealous. So jealousy is also a product of this competitiveness because when two persons are competing or many are competing and one is selected, others become jealous. I mean instead of feeling happy, “All right. So, one of us has become something, so we should be very happy that he has become.” On the contrary, the other people feel jealous, “Why has he become? Who is he? What does he think of himself?” Then they go further. Not you people, but on the whole, people go further with it and what do they do is to harm another person.
In Sahaja Yoga, people are also sometimes very worried and frightened. There is no need to be worried or frightened because now you have become a Sahaja Yogi and a Guru. Nobody can touch you. "
