Shri Ganesha Swayambhu, Delphi, Greece |
(GANESHA 1984) But in My case it is a very different combination that I am your Mother and your Guru. So you can understand how Shri Ganesha worshipped his Mother. You all are created in the same image of Shri Ganesha who worshipped His Mother and then He became the Adi Guru, the first Guru.
No one should think that you have got Realization, you can be in the Sahaja Yoga if you do not take to innocence. Innocence gives you complete sincerity, and Ganesha is the judge, and He is the one who throws you out of the periphery like a tangent you get out of Sahaja Yoga. And when you get out of Sahaja Yoga, you start going down and down and down, and then you may develop horrible diseases of the Mooladhara chakra. Those who are hit by Him are the worst; if you have come near Him, be careful. Face yourself, see yourself, note yourself.
Another thing they told Me that some people think that they are great Sahaja Yogis who contribute nothing to Sahaja Yoga but headaches. If some sane Sahaja Yogi starts telling the other Sahaja Yogi about something sensible, this fellow puts up his right Vishuddhi, pressing it hard on him to show that, "You are talking because your right Vishuddhi is catching", very cunning. You are not to play games, because you are harming yourself, I'm telling you now. Those who think they can play with the loopholes must know that there's a loop round their neck. Like the fallen angels you will go to the greater heights, or depths, of mire. So try to be honest to yourself.
The/another oath we have to take today that,
We'll respect every Sahaja Yogi from our heart, because they are made in the form of Shri Ganesha. We'll not make fun of them, we'll not laugh at them',' as long as they are in Sahaja Yoga we have to respect. But they can be thrown away, they can get out of it. But unless and until this happens, do not put your ego on other people. Don't think that you understand everything. Don't think that you know everything. Respect each and every person, not for what he has read or what he has learnt, but because he is a great soul.
I feel the whole West suffers from one, one simple disease, that is, they do not know how to respect anyone. Whatever doesn't suit their mind, they will never accept nor will respect. With their ego they want to judge everyone and condemn everyone. So, get out of it, and tell yourself, "I don't know anything. I was a stupid fool with my ego." Humble down yourself in your heart, open your heart, and love each other. Respect and love is the two things you have to promise to Shri Ganesha. If you cannot do that, your ascent is going to be very difficult.
