In Shri
Krishna's own words one can say, that once you are a realized soul and you have
reached that highest position in your awareness, to you everything is futile. But
just now, what you have to do is to save the
dharma.
Not the
dharma that people talk about, but the dharma means evolutionary process of
human beings which is going on, and if all the good people, those who stand for
righteousness are finished, then how will this evolutionary power will be
saved?
So you have to save them, and for that if you have to kill, you don't
kill anybody they are already dead,
because they are not evolved souls and they
don't care for their realization.
So you
have to fight them.
You have
to fight the negative forces. You have to fight the wrongdoers....
So we
have three paths as you know in Sahaja Yoga.
1) The one is of bhakti. Bhakti
is where you sing the praise of God, have devotion, you do all kinds of
rituals, everything. And you think that you are very close to God. … How can
you have any dedication to God with whom you are not at all connected?
2) The
second one was the karma, that you do your work. You go
on doing your work with a detached mind. I mean it's not possible, but that's
what they say. And we are doing our karmas, good karmas: we do all kinds of
good things, go to various places for our cleansing, meet many great people of
spirituality, go to all various places and pray, visit all auspicious places
which are being described, all kinds of rituals … So He said, "It's not
possible that whatever karmas you are doing could be the karmas which will get
you the blessings of the Divine. Karmanye wadhikaraste, phaleshu ma
kadachin." He had said it. …
3) And
third one is the discretion, which He calls as the Gyanamarga, is the
central path by which you evolve. You evolve into a new state, a new state of
your being, by which you become absolutely above every nonsense.
Also you
are endowed with power to fight whatever is bad, whatever is corrupting,
whatever is killing this one. At that stage you are equipped with a Divine
power that you can finish off anything that is negative around you.
This is
to be understood that that's a state. That's not just talking, that's not just
believing that I'm that, but it's a state. If you come up to that state where
you are beyond all these things and you have all the knowledge, pure knowledge,
the subtle knowledge of being, this is the Gyanamarg….

| When we are one |
ananya
bhakti
For that, according to Shri Krishna you have to [do various things]. One is you go on
praying to Him. He says, "You go praying to Me, and if you give Me flowers
I'll take, if you give Me water I'll take. Whatever you'll give Me I'll
take." He says clearly, "But, what will you gain out of that is very
important… So what should be the state, what should be the condition?
He said,
"If you praise Me, if you have bhakti for Me, you are giving Me
presents, you are doing all sorts of things, you are very dedicated but, you
should do ananya bhakti." Word is ananya.
Ananya
means when there is not the other.
"When
we are one; when we are connected, then the bhakti you do that time, whatever
music you have of devotion, whatever flowers you give, whatever expression you
have, it should be ananya." That's the word He said , that do ananya
bhakti! "Pushpam Phalam Toryam: whatever you give Me I'll take."
He'll take everything.He the
one who is the only bhokta, means He's the only enjoyer.
"But, what will
you get?" He says. When you do ananya bhakti, means when you are one with
Me. That means you are connected with Him. That's how He has explained bhakti,
what is bhakti is, very clearly.
But
people don't understand. They... they think that bhakti means you go on singing
on the street hare Rama, hare Krishna, this and that, it's bhakti, is not. …
And when
you are one with God, then what does He give you? He won't give you cheap
things, which will vanish in no time, but of some eternal nature.
So He gives
you peace, peace of the heart.
He gives
you balance.
Also He
gives you a tranquil temperament.
Joy of
life.
All
these things are there within us, if we have the bhakti which is, after being
united, after the yoga with the Yogeshwara. This is what one has to understand.
Karma and
discretion
Now this
country of yours America,
is very karmakandi. [...] goes on doing work work work work work; they're
work-oholics. They work so hard, and what do you get?
You get children who are
drug addicts. You get wives who are running here and there. You get broken
families, and no peace. You support wars. Only thing is that so far this
country is being protected in a way, but also you have destroyed so many
aboriginals, so many fundamental things that you should have preserved. …
Apart
from anything else He gives us the gift of discrimination. That is His style, I
should say, to teach you how to discriminate, and then you'll become experts on
discrimination on vibrations. On vibrations you can get everything so clearly,
so beautifully. Others may not agree with you, that's a different point, but
you know what is right and what is wrong, and that is what Shri Krishna's gift
is…
Discretion and
collectivity
So the
Sahaja Yogis first have the power of satisfaction, tremendous
satisfaction. Imagine in this place you are all enjoying so much, you are
living here, so happy. Shows what? You are so satisfied. Otherwise nobody would
like, they'll say no we want to have some nice place, what is this?
"We don't
want to live here with everyone."
But to
live with others, this collectivity also is the blessing of Shri Krishna. He teaches you to be collective, the fun of
collectivity, the enjoyment of collectivity. …
His collectivity is to be understood
because I always say that Shri Krishna is the Deity of America. America is also
very collective. …
Discrimination
is missing. Unless and until you have that, you cannot use your power of
collectivity properly.
Though
they (USA)
are collective, but what collective work have they done?
Even now
they want to say we are separate, we are different. Whatever problems we are
facing is our own. So this collectivity has been so much minimized in a country
of Shri Krishna itself. Though they have that within themselves, a feeling that
they should talk about every country, they should give lead to every country,
they should consult every country, but always take a wrong decision about those
countries. This comes because they are not discriminating. They should be
discriminate….
Do not bear
!
Some people think that if you bear up
everything is good:-is not!
If
somebody is trying to oppress you, don't try to bear it!
Throw it
away!
Because
if you bear, also you can move to the left, and you can get horrible things
like cancer. You can get cancer.
Those
who are aggressive, they can get also diseases and those who are very much, I
should say bearing-type, also get into trouble.
So you
should be in a balanced state: should not accept anything.
Supposing
anybody calls you name just keep quite, look at that person, that's all! Know
that he's a stupid fool, but don't accept it!
If you
accept it and go on crying about it, and weeping about it then you can get
cancer.
But
supposing, somebody says something, you should know he's a stupid fool, just
keep out of it,then nothing can happen. So both ways one has to be careful,
because Krishna is playing around and He sees
how far you can go.
Now
throat, throat is very important, we should look after. Those people who shout,
scream, ultimately can loose their power of speech, can become frantic with
their problems of the throat. … So when you talk to someone, talk clearly in a
sweet manner, but don't shout at a person, never; neither you try to show
peevishness in your speech. If you are peevish then cancer can set in.
So both
ways you have to be careful as you are Sahaja Yogis.
You have
to have this knowledge that you will not do, bear anything nonsensical if
somebody speaks, means you should not accept it.
One may
say something to you, it's all right.
And
sometimes you should tell him off, that you were saying
like this it's not so. The best is not to bear it up and to suffer. You are not
Christ, you don't have His powers.
Because
if you do that, you'll develop cancer. So try to be in a way just in the
center, watching everything: if there's aggression or if there's recession, one
of the two things.
You must
not give in to any of these attitudes, but develop an attitude of standing
very firmly on your own grounds.
A m e r i c
a
Now America
is the Vishuddhi of the whole world.
So it is
very important that the people who are in charge here should know all the
powers of Vishuddhi, plus how to preserve it, and how to expand it to the whole
world.
With
these two hands, also are from Vishuddhi chakra, and with that you have to
spread Sahaja Yoga.
