So to have a separatist idea itself is against Sahaj.../...That is only because people don't meditate.
Now I've seen in My own country when people wanted to have separate nations.
Those people who wanted to have separate nations actually did it, not to achieve anything great but just because they can become - those people who wanted, for few of them[that] they'll become something great in their own country. So they never wanted to be in a country where they may not rise to that height.
So then they separated those countries, and by separating I have seen all these countries are suffering, suffering very much.
There's no growth, there are financial problem, all kinds of problems are there. And also the main country is suffering because they have now developed enmity, and all this is working out against the main country.
So to have a separatist idea itself is against Sahaj.
Say, for example, a flower growing on the tree looks very nice. It develops there, matures there and it produces seeds also. But supposing you cut the flower and take it away, then what happens? The tree loses the flower, no doubt, but mostly it is the loss of the flower.
Now this they did, all of them, and when they did it you see what is the result, that people who tried to have their own country, their own domain, they were killed, murdered, abused, and some of them are in jail. So the attitude even outside Sahaja Yoga has shown that it doesn't help. So we must learn to be one. If after Sahaja Yoga, after your Realization, if you do not understand this message that we all have to be one, one single unit, one single body; if we cannot be, if you are identified with other things, then it's no way you have grown, you have not matured.
A very important point on Sahasrara Day one has to understand, that all the seven chakras have their peethas in the Sahasrara - all the seven chakras. They are nicely settled down in the midriff of your brain and they act through that area wherever they are, on the chakras and work it out. Now all these seven chakras become one, I should say, or go into unison.
Complete integration takes place in these centers, because these are governed by these seven main chakras we can call them - you can call them by any name - and they govern all the other chakras; and because they are in unison, completely integrated, that's why all your chakras are integrated. It's the peethas which are enlightened, I should say, by Kundalini, also blessed by the divine Power, immediately become integrated, they say that like pearls in one string. It's even more than that, it's more than that.
All these peethas within you get integrated in such a manner as if there's no difference in their manifestation.
Supposing you have a chakra which is not all right - something wrong physically, mentally, emotionally, whatever it is - the other chakras try to help this sick chakra, and try to evolve a personality of a Sahaja yogi in a way that he's integrated.
…/.... So all these minor things like your race, your country, your religion and all these, which are artificial barriers between human beings, just drops out and you become a realized soul and you know what is humanity, you understand the humanity.
This has to happen in all the Sahaja yogis, when they are together. They should understand that we are not, no more ordinary human beings, we are special people chosen for a very special work which is the most important thing today.…/…I've seen immediately after people get their Realization they start telling Me, "Mother, I was a Christian, but see, this is Christianity." Somebody will say, "Mother, I was very patriotic, but I see now what is patriotism is." …/…
And that's what I find that in Sahaj people still, though they are out of this illusion, this ocean of illusion, still sometimes their one leg is still there in the ocean, and still they're pulling it out and pushing it back. That should not be. That is only because people don't meditate.
Now to say you must meditate, people think it's a kind of a ritual or maybe a kind of a style of Sahaja Yoga - no!
Meditation is for you to go deep down into yourself, to achieve all that your Sahasrara wants to give you. To achieve that height of detachment, of understanding, is only through meditation.
So what happens in meditation is that your awareness crosses over Agnya, goes above and is now stationed in the Sahasrara, in thoughtless awareness.
Then the reality of Sahasrara, the beauty of Sahasrara starts pouring in your own character, in your own temperament.
Unless and until you meditate - not meditate just to get well or just to feel that "I must meditate" - but meditation is very important for all of you, that you develop your Sahasrara in such a manner that you imbibe the beauty of your Sahasrara.
If you don't use your Sahasrara in this way, after some time you'll find Sahasrara will close down, you'll have no vibrations and you'll have no understanding of yourself…

Bhaiya, I feel as though this very well intentioned effort may have some unintended side effects. Perhaps the tone that's being used is a touch apocalyptic? I know personally I felt some slight fear in reaction to these opening words. Also, I wonder if, by reflecting on the negativity of groupism and division in the Sangha, we aren't just adding negative attention to the collective as a whole and perhaps furthering the destruction? I do agree that attention ought to be payed to these issues of division but maybe just the positioning of the exposure could be somewhat less dramatic and somewhat more relaxed and detached.
ReplyDeleteDYLAN would be right, if only our "governance" was recognizing the situation. Unfortunately, DENIAL is the main attitude. One distinguished member of the CC wrote to me: (copypaste):
Delete«You have complained the sangha was not informed. Some of this was ugly and do not blame us for not sharing the ugliness of it with everybody. We felt we better served the sangha and our sense of protocol by bearing it silently.».
Hence my "apocalyptic" tone.
