The Power of Auspiciousness

 

THE POWER OF AUSPICIOUSNESS

After realization people also get lots of dynamic forces within themselves which they never expected to get. First of all, their innocence is awake. Whatever innocence they have lost through the stupidity of the society or the ideas given by the uh, uh.. enterprising film industries or other, we can say, magazines and all kinds of publications – all those things drop out. All the conditionings of the mind drop out and he becomes innocent, a innocent personality. An innocent personality is a very, very powerful personality. As Christ has said, “Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes.” Such a person has a glint in the eye of innocence and such person can grow up to such a level that even a little glance of such a person can save people from calamities. The purity of mind, purity of character, all these starts shining in such a personality. And such a personality is an auspicious figure.

Auspiciousness, we have forgotten about. If an auspicious person enters into the house – if somebody’s sick that person gets all right, if there’s quarrel in the house the quarrel subsides, if there’s any problem that problem is solved. An auspicious person travelling by a train, if there’s an accident, nobody dies. Auspicious person is the person who is constructive and is releasing constructive forces all around him of very soothing, peaceful and a very powerful character. Such an auspicious personality is to be found in so many realized souls. Now the other day, one lady was telling Me that there are many realized souls walking about on this earth – I haven’t seen any. They might grow their beard, they might wear some sort of a wig, they might wear some sort of a dress – that doesn’t mean they’re realized souls. Actually, a realized soul doesn’t need to publish or to uh..exhibit in any way artificial that he’s a realized soul. He could be a very ordinary person on the street or he could be a king. He could be a, a person just cleaning the hall here and he could be a Prime Minister.

For such a personality all these things do not matter, whether he lives in comfort, he doesn’t feel the feeling of comfort, I should say. Whether he lives in complete poverty, he doesn’t feel it. According to the pattern of his life, according to the status of his life, he lives.

Spread the Fragrance

 

Now what is the speciality of the fragrance in India and nowhere else? Nowhere

Some flowers may be having little fragrance but there is no fragrance in the flowers that are grown so very beautifully, full of love and care. But lots of wild flowers also in India have got fragrance. What is the reason? They say that the soil of India has fragrance. How can you have fragrance in the soil? But it is a fact. What I’m saying is not just a story but is a fact that in India any flower that you grow mostly, has mostly, has fragrance. While here that’s not the case. Neither it is in any other country, you go to Norway or you go to Germany, any other country you go you won’t find any fragrance in the flowers. It is very shocking why there is no fragrance in flowers.

When this world was created there was no fragrance but in some areas there was, specially areas which we call as India and otherwise. It is unbelievable that here or anywhere abroad there are no flowers with fragrance.

So now you are born here, you have brought the fragrance, you are the people who are realised souls and you have got the fragrance to spread, so your responsibility – double I think – that you must spread fragrance. Fragrance is something very innate, even this soil which we should say is without fragrance, the people have fragrance in their character, in their behaviour, in their understanding and there is peace which they are aspiring ."

Effortlessness

 

EFFORTLESSNESS

"Meditation is for your own ascent, is for your own capital gains that you have to have. But once you get into it, you also achieve your powers. Like, you become a governor then you get the powers of the governor. At this time you don’t have to think about anybody else. You are not put your attention to anybody else but just receive it, just receive it. Do not think of any other problem, but that, that you have to be effortless, absolutely effortless.

It would work best on the people who are just receiving it. You have problems – that’s why you are here, but you cannot solve them, they are to be solved by Divine Power. This must be understood fully, that we cannot solve our problems. It is beyond us to solve our problems. So leave it in the hands of the Divine Power and expose yourself effortlessly, absolutely effortlessly.

Sit in comfort, and properly with both the feet on the ground, with both the hands relaxed like this. Be comfortable, you should not be uncomfortable at all. Be free comfortable. Because you will sit for quite some time. AND YOU TRY TO PUT YOUR ATTENTION TO ME, WITHIN YOURSELF, IF YOU CAN, TO MY KUNDALINI IF YOU CAN. YOU CAN COME INTO MY KUNDALINI AND IT WILL BE DONE, JUST LIKE THESE THE HANDS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS, STRAIGHT.

So effortlessness is the keyword, absolutely effortlessly, whether you are meditating before Me, or before My photograph."

Message of Christ Resurrection

 

So we celebrate Easter to show how Christ resurrected Himself. The Spirit that is Christ has to resurrect out of the material manifestation of the Divine Itself. The matter is manifested because we ourselves have created it. Not that we are born out of matter, our body, but we are attached to it, we want it, we want to have it. Whatever you want, that sustains itself, by your desire, because now you are on the stage. If you want to sustain the matter, if you want to keep the matter as the first priority, it will remain. It cannot disappear. It has to go out of your mind that matter cannot hold you any further.

Christ rose out of the matter, came out of the tomb which symbolises the matter which has enclosed us within, which has to be opened out with our spiritual power. Throw away, throw away the stone that is covering this grave. Get out of that and stand outside it. This is the message of Christ’s resurrection.

The tomb that we have created, we have created ourselves, because we have allowed people to dominate us. We have allowed them to make these graves for us, we have allowed them to bury Christ within ourselves, because we were afraid. But Christ has to rise. So we create our own matter through our conditionings, through our fears, through our absolute wrong ideas about goodness and kindness and compassion. In the light of the Spirit you can see what we think as compassion is nothing but a kind of sympathy which leads you nowhere. But one should learn to see everything in the light of the Spirit. But do we use all the time the light of the Spirit? We do not.

For Christ, it was not difficult, because He was the Spirit. But He has shown you the way. He crucified Himself to show you the way. All the ideas about sophistication, about our standing in the society, how we relate ourselves to other dignitaries, or to our country, to our politics, to our economics and the world at large, all of them can tie us down to that tomb. You belong to another category, I’ve told you a hundred times. And a category which is the Spirit, which can rise above ‘all’ the tombs, can throw away everything. This way you are conditioned. All absurd ideas have been accepted, which you cannot explain why you were conditioned like this.

Why I talk more of conditioning, because of England. English are very much conditioned people. The others are Americans who are abandoned. I mean, you cannot talk to them about anything because they cannot be rooted into anything. But the English are too much conditioned people, and when they are too much conditioned they build their own tombs.

All these ideas are to be seen with a new dimension of awareness that you have. You are the Spirit. Why should you worry about anything else but your vibrations. Because you are saints. You should just worry about the comfort of your Spirit. Whatever is congenial to your- Spirit, just go on doing that, observing that, accumulating that and sucking within yourself. All conditionings will run away because these conditionings you accept because they look comfortable, but they are not. Christ is a great example and if He is the one whom you follow, if He is the one you have understood and recognised in the light of your Spirit, then you must know why did He go into the grave first of all. The Man who was so powerful. Who when He will come He’ll reduce all of them into ashes-such a great personality like Him of Ekadasha Rudra. Why did Christ allow Himself to be crucified and to be buried into that? Because He wanted to stoop down to the level of other people, to come down to that level so that people should see that through His life they are shown that you can be resurrected. Now the Resurrection has taken place. Sahaja Yogis are resurrected no doubt, but still one foot is in the grave! And the second one I do not know whether it will be out or in–it is just halfway through! One foot is of course outside, no doubt, but still is not yet touching the ground, ‘and the other cannot be lifted unless you push the ground, this matter, again, to push it up. If you live with your Spirit, you should have no fears, you should have no worry.

I know I am Mahamaya

 

You can say from all sides the fear is burning like flames. And we are now here in Kali Yuga. We have started Sahaj Yog.

So the way we have to work out for our protection has to be mutual. Mother, of course, is there to protect you all the time. Her powers are there to protect you. But surprisingly, in the modern times, there’s one condition, which has to be fulfilled. Because in those days good were good and evil were evil. There was no mixing up. So once they asked for Goddess, they accepted Her, She came in her real form and She worked it out. But in modern times you must know that all these evil things are also lingering in your head, little bit here and there. People are extremely superficial. They are very much prone to the mass attitude, fashions, things like that. Sort of, their personality is not that developed as that of those bhaktas who knew they were right, who knew they were righteous, who knew whatever they were doing was correct and were standing on their legs, firm.

I know I am Mahamaya. I am really very clever at it! But I am truthful, I do not have crocodile tears: I cannot have. I am truthful. But still I am Mahamaya. So to recognise me, what should we do? If we recognise, then you are protected.

And the cleansing is the simplest thing in Sahaj Yoga is to be collective. If you are not collective, then know that something [is] wrong with you. If you are collective, then as if you are taking your bath in the River Ganges. You don’t have to go to Himalayas, you don’t have to do individual sadhana much, you don’t have to – just be collective!

If you are collective, if you are enjoying the collective, then you should know that you are clean; no blemishes there. You are absolutely all right!

Now the second part of this Mahamaya business: I had to be very close to you. I had to be extremely close, talk to you, to have a rapport, to tell you everything about yoga, to make you absolutely aware of yourself. This had to be done and, with all these complications within your mind, within your heart, within your body, I had to work it out.

To come close, in the real form would have been very dangerous, so one had to be a Mahamaya. But despite that, if you could recognise me, to understand me, that I am [a] Divine personality, it’s an incarnation, that’s all the Deities want. Then they’ll look after you in every way. They’ll give you all the powers. They’ll give you all the satisfaction, all the protection that you want.

This is the condition, which for a rational mind is very difficult to understand, that, “How can Adi Shakti be in one body? How can the infinite become finite?” But human beings cannot do that. Only human beings [cannot]. God can do it. He’s God, after all! And if so, you have so many miracles, you have so many photographs, so many things to see, but this is what one has to recognise.

Spread the Fragrance of Life

 

" When this world was created there was no fragrance but in some areas there was, specially areas which we call as India and otherwise. It is unbelievable that here or anywhere abroad there are no flowers with fragrance.

So now you are born here, you have brought the fragrance, you are the people who are realised souls and you have got the fragrance to spread, so your responsibility – double I think – that you must spread fragrance. Fragrance is something very innate, even this soil which we should say is without fragrance, the people have fragrance in their character, in their behaviour, in their understanding and there is peace which they are aspiring

I don’t say they are peaceful but they are aspiring to have peace. This aspiration only suggests they are fragrant people, that they are very fragrant.

What is a fragrance in a human being is, his nature, his temperament, how he is and how he behaves towards others.

All the countries all over, still not aware that you have to become fragrant. If they were to be aware then all wars will end, everything will finish off and they will know we are all one.

We do not belong to different countries or anything which we have made. God has not made France. We have made that this is your country, this is their country and country-wise we fight. This country belongs to no one. This belongs to God. But people stupidly fight on the countries, that this is our country, this is our country. "

Why take something Wrong

 

“Ego always takes to something wrong.”

Still we are living in a relative world if you understand. We do not what is right and wrong is. Shri Krishna has said that there are three types of people in this world which create problems. The first type is the type which always takes to something wrong, destructive, and run after it and destroys oneself, emotional things. He gets emotional attachments to wrong things, he doesn’t value his life much relatively, and he destroys himself. Then the second type of people who are which he calls as the rajasikas who are futuristic, the first are the ones who live in the past, are the rajasikas, are the people who are futuristic, as we are in the West, very much futuristic. We are planning all the time what we are going to do next moment, but this moment, when we are here, we are not there. They are not capable of knowing what is right and wrong. Sometimes they may do right but mostly they go towards wrong because they do not know what is right and what is wrong.

The reason why we go towards wrong much more is this: that we have come from carbon, say earlier, from matter. Matter always fights the spirit. Say for example, we get used to anything that is material, a chair, we cannot sit on the ground. If you are used to a bed we cannot sleep on the ground. So the matter is always trying to give us habits. It is trying to overpower us, and that’s how we start getting into a comfortable understanding that we have to be dominated by matter. So such people who are on the rajasic side, we call them the rightsided people, are guided by the ego that developed because they convert matter into some form and they think they achieved a lot. As I said, a tree dies and they create a chair and that chair sits on your head and you think you have achieved a lot. So this is what happens that the ego, as you see on the right hand side, starts developing and when it develops it guides you. It can misguide you many a times, because when there is ego pampering we feel happy and when there is no ego pampering we feel unhappy. …

So the concept of the goodness is not there. Benevolence is not there, but the concept of something standing out, something out of the blue, they want to show off that they are something greater. ..

The third type of people are the seekers, the sattva gunis. They try to avoid extremes, they try to keep in the center, they are the ones who are best seekers. ..
