Pray to Almighty

 

Prayer to Almighty

Ask for --

" Complete satisfaction in my heart, Joy in my heart, Bliss in my heart ; so that the whole world becomes blissful. "

" Give me love, love, that I could love the whole world, and that the whole world become one in Love. "

" Give salvation to the entire humanity, which is suffering. "

" Take me to your feet. "

" Cleans me with Thy Love. "

Now see if there's God or not. You can feel it. Within Yourself He hears you. He is the Glory of all the Glory.

He loves you, He protects you, He Guides you. He has created you to be really His Love. But accept it.

Any time any thought is coming to you--- pray; and you will be moving in the way of that Ocean which is unconscious mind, which starts with thoughtless awareness.

If you cannot become thoughtless, you pray to Him: "Forgive me for what I have done, and forgive those who have done harm to me. "

SADNESS IS TO BE AVOIDED

 

SADNESS IS TO BE AVOIDED

Sadness is the most dangerous thing for Sahaja Yogis.

There is no need to be sad over anything. You are a pure soul. You are beyond mind, intellect, body, emotion. Only you are forgetting how high you have been made to sit. Being sad, you start working against your mother. You become a slave of past karma, your bad habit or evil force. Then you don't recognize yourself. You lose your sanity. That's why always remember one thing, never be sad about anything. If you have made any mistake, then immediately forgive yourself and do not make such mistake again. You have been seated in the kingdom of God.

Some people are sad because someone disturbs them or they are also sad because of their own faults. But can Chaitanya Lahari be attained by being sad or having an argument with someone? Will God get a lot of pleasure when you are sad? This can never happen. You have to enjoy purity and innocence like Shri Ganeshji.

When you suddenly become very sad in front of your mother's photo, then the mother also feels sad. This is a very serious problem. You have to be happy always.

Love is knowledge, and knowledge is love. Nothing further than this. If you have knowledge, it has to pass the test of love. If you know someone, it has no effect on you because you know him externally. But if you love someone then only you understand him well. Very well you know him the way he is. This is the knowledge which we call Paragyan. This is the knowledge we have to seek."

RECEIVING THE BEAUTY THAT IS PROMISED

 

RECEIVING THE BEAUTY THAT IS PROMISED

You have to know the meaning of your life because you were created for a purpose – from amoeba to this stage you were brought – and now the One who has created you, the One who has given you all the beauties and the bounties of this Universe, wants you to know Him and enjoy all the bounties, like the Father bestowing properties, all His enjoyments on this Earth, out of His love. It’s the manifestation of His love that has brought us to this state, and His love only is going to give you that status by which you are going to be enthroned into the Kingdom of God. Instead, I know people have been harmed much more.

It’s very, very simple proposition, which is difficult for human beings to understand, that this was desired as a father desires for his son. Even when he is not yet a father, he thinks of a son: how he is going to bring him up and how he is going to bestow all his love and all he is earnings on that child. In the same manner, the Great Father has planned the whole thing in such a beautiful manner and He is going to look after His own Creation. No one can destroy it. He’s Almighty. Only thing is that you may destroy yourself, because He has made you free. He has given you freedom. He has treated you as a friend. Because if you have to be enthroned, you have to be a free person and you must know how to enjoy the glory of freedom.

In that freedom if you have chosen something wrong then you cannot blame God for that. But even if it is just a mistake then He will work it out with a thousand fold of His grace and mercies to see you, that you are saved. He’s going to use all His powers to see that you receive that beauty that is promised. That is what is Sahaj Yoga.

THE FIGHT AGAINST NEGATIVITY

 

The fight against Negativity

The fight between good and bad is an eternal story. This story has played out in numerous forms across ages and places. Today this struggle ripples within the seeking hearts of men. On one side of the spectrum, we live an oblivious life unaware of our unawareness, unaware of the greater dimension of reality, our lives silently dictated by the unconscious forces, unfulfilled vacillating desires, and habits, acting upon our psyche. The other side of the spectrum is the unfettered Spirit shining unaffected, unperturbed above the clouds of chaos and turmoil, radiating peace, love, and bliss. In between is the ascent, the struggle to leave behind the old and reach out and embrace the neo. This is where the fight between good and bad plays out and you’re the eponymous hero of your tale. Negative forces do exist and are primarily interested in disturbing the ascent of those who try to rise to a higher state of consciousness, they are not concerned about those who are already unbeknownst under their control, subjugated but those who can break free are a threat to their agenda and existence. Therefore, it may happen that you would be in a state of peace and bliss and all of sudden a wave of negativity may come and try to disturb you, try to bring you down, try to tempt you, confuse you, try its level best to derail your progress. This is why we shouldn't be satisfied with one level of attainment but always try to go deeper and further in our ascent.

This is what many yogis experience as a period of test in Sahaja Yoga especially in the early years where in order to develop to grow deep roots we must overcome our inner demons by coming face to face with them. Whenever that happens remember you have great powers bestowed upon you, powers to rise above every thought, that you have the complete support of your Kundalini, of your Mother’s love that acts as a shield of protection and it guides you. Remember that you have the arrows of pure knowledge which you can employ to destroy negativity and come back to balance. You have all the help, but the fight is yours, and you have to prevail and persist. It doesn’t matter if you fall or slip as long as you pick yourself back and rise with trust in divine love then victory, and complete glory would be yours.

BUILDING UP THE RIGHT SIDE THROUGH A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY

 

BUILDING UP THE RIGHT SIDE THROUGH A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY

One should know that you have to be responsible: that’s a very, very important thing of life.

I personally think, unless and until you feel that responsibility, that heart, into Sahaja Yoga, you will enjoy just my talk as you would just enjoy anything else. Real enjoyment comes when your Spirit really blows out the vibrations. You are taking my vibrations, all right, you are feeling them, but what about yours? Are you blowing your vibrations out or they are just taking your brain. Simple questions is, are you blowing any vibrations outside? We have some Sahaja Yogis when they just enter into a house immediately everyone feels it. Everyone can feel it that somebody has come. Immediately the whole thing cools down in no time. Somebody has come. There are some here also, not that there are none, but they are few people.

You have to blow out vibrations otherwise you are just a liability to yourself. Why don’t you blow out vibrations? Because you don’t feel responsible. In your day to day life, morning till evening, you have to see that you develop this instrument of responsibility within you, otherwise the vibrations won’t flow because, the main reason is that, our nervous system comes to us through our Right Side.

Our nervous system is built up by our Right Side. All the elements within us have built [it] up. If the elements are weakened, if the chakras which are made by these elements — as you know all these charkas are made by elements — if the pot is weak, nothing is going to work out. You should be able to hold that water of love or you can say the water of bliss and should be able to pour it out to others. Unless and until you are able to do that, Sahaja Yoga won’t spread.

The Ego commits Mistakes, not YOU

 

THE EGO COMMITS MISTAKES, NOT YOU

So, do not worry as to what guilt you have got. I never tell you what guilt you have got, if you remember it correctly. Never I tell you that you should say that you have got this guilt. Many people tell me that, “I have got a guilt that there is war in Vietnam,” or some sort of a nonsense, or “My forefathers went to Argentina and killed many Indians.” All this is nonsense, you see? The guilt is a subconscious action, is what you call the conditioning in the left. When there is some sort of an immoral behaviour that is done. Even you may not be knowing what is morality, if you do not know dharmas, might be something you are doing which you should not have done. So, forget about it, detach yourself. The one who has committed mistake is your ego, not you.

You are pure because you are Spirit.

So don’t condemn yourself for that. You are not to bother. For example, if there is defect in the instrument, there is no defect in the electricity. Electricity is pure. It is not carried out because there is defect in the instrument. So, we have to correct the instrument. Now, if you think you are the electricity you can correct it, but if you think you are the instrument, you can never correct it because again you go to your subconscious, try to find out, “Oh, what things I must have done?” It could be from your previous lives, also. It could be you might have caught it by saying something very filthy which you do not remember.

So do not tax your mind. We are not psychoanalysts, at all, to find out psychologically what is wrong with us by asking questions and this, then troubling yourself too much with ego. Psychologists only think of the left [side] but they don’t know when you try to do that you develop your ego. When you start thinking about it, from where this has come, immediately you develop the ego of a person and the person goes on to the ego trip and which is even more dangerous than subconscious problem. Because people who have ego trouble the whole community, while those who are superego only trouble themselves. People with ego are much more dangerous and troublesome than the people with superego.

Accepting Artificiality

 

ACCEPTING ARTIFICIALITY

Why do things which will destroy? You can’t create yourself; you can’t even create a nose for yourself, leave alone the whole body. Then, why should we be anti-ourselves first of all? Then why should we be anti the society that we have created? Then against the whole nation that we have created? And nations, and nations, and nations? What are they doing, these all these politicians today? Fighting for what? I just look at them, I can’t understand what’s the matter with these people – fighting to create more destructive forces, more horrible things to destroy innocent human beings? Those who are innocent are simply worried, they don’t know what to do, they don’t understand why they are to be dead tomorrow because some people have gone off their heads. And, those who have gone off their heads are sitting at the helm of affairs, and we select them and elect them, all such people who are sitting at the helm of affairs.

That’s how the negativity grows within us, we become negative. Both things are negative attitudes because they negate God. Negation of God is the first crime we have created. We are not afraid of that God or for Him. He’s Compassion, He’s Mercy, He’s everything. But in His Mercy only He’s going to destroy the world. He won’t allow you to commit more sins against Him. He destroys even, otherwise, from within. What is cancer? What are all these diseases that are coming in our body? They are nothing but our own destruction forces that we ourselves have built within ourselves [which] are breaking. There is no fear from outside invasion, or from any star, or from any extra terrestrial attack, no there is not. It is within us. The attack is built within us, of which we should be aware. In the name of freedom we have collected within ourselves all the germs of our destruction. It is such a built-in process within us that we are not even aware that they are growing, that they are there. We are quite satisfied with ourselves, with our artificial life, with our so-called etiquettes and superficial mannerisms.

Innately within us there resides the Spirit which wants to enlighten you, which is anxious to enlighten you, to give you the peace, the bliss, the joy of your being. This beautiful lamp of yours which is being created, is with a great purpose. It has to be enlightened. Respect yourself! There is no ‘respect’ word left in the dictionary today. Respect yourself! We have to respect this lamp which has the light of the Spirit, that it should be enlightened, and let us be that lamp that shows the path of glorification of your being, and in that light we can see God’s Glory, too.
