EASTER lessons, 2: the PROPER PUJA TIMING

... First is detachment, detachment. Detachment, start with the thought, let us see the thought. It's called as vichara shaithilya, relaxation of the thought. Now a thought is coming into your mind, some thought: "Today is Mother's Puja, let's go, we have to hurry up!", you see. "-Must get this, you didn't get the flowers, now you go to the Third World and get the flowers, you must get this and you must get that!"
Second [thought] is: "No: detach yourself! Witness! Leave it to the Spirit! Watch, you will get it!" Many of you have noticed this. But still this mind, which is quite silly, tries to impress upon you that you have to use the old junky instrument of this mind, and it asserts that "Better use," and when you start using that, ego comes in, you get attached to it, and what you lose is your progress and thus the joy is minimized.

How do you detach yourself?
For a person who is absolutely detached, it's very difficult to explain how to detach, isn't it? I'll try! Now, I cannot get attached, that's the problem is, and I find it difficult to explain to you in words which are human words, but still, I'll try to say now.
Say, I tried something as human beings do, in the beginning, just to see how it works out, because I had to experiment.

For example, when I had to, say, attend any puja or anything, I used to ask them, "What is the auspicious time?"
So they would tell Me, "This is the auspicious time."
And then another would telephone to say, "This is the auspicious time."

I said, "Then why consult? It's better not to have five auspicious times, isn't it?"
Then, the auspicious time is not: beyond, has to be beyond time. But it is bound in the time the way human beings have made it. So it is bound in the time, like in India, it is so much, so much, so much; but now, here, it's different.
Then you calculate, you have a watch. You see, to overcome all these hurdles human beings also make certain devices. So you consult, "Now what is the auspicious time here?" Leave at that time. Then it's a big headache, because there are five books to be consulted, watch could be wrong, this could be wrong, that could be so.

But if you are the Spirit, then the Spirit works out auspiciousness. It is the Spirit that works out the auspiciousness, and imagine when you think like that, how much tension goes out. First of all you have to be a slave of the watch. Another, you have to be the slave of the books, then you have to be the slave of the market, of the room of the place which you have to hire. But supposing if you allow the Spirit to work it out, then everything will work out, and you will reach at the point where it is the most auspicious.
So how do you accept it?

Just by accepting. So just now, if you give up your satta, your own domain, you get into the domain of your Spirit. You give up your domain, that is, your ego's domain, or maybe your super-ego's domain, you give up that, and try to see things, how it works out. Now what is the testing point of it? How do you test it?
It works out, that's the point of testing. It works out.

Allow it to work out, don't put your attention - "attention" has the second part of it, - the "tension" - and don't try to say "Why not today, it should have happened today, we expected it to happen. Why not at this moment?" That's your ego.
"Thy will be done."

A column of uttermost actuality

«Hallucination ....out of compassion ! - the game of power...»

It's said that at Sahasrara the Goddess incarnates as Mahamaya; because the job She has to do is of a very different nature. At the heart chakra, Anhata, She has to just defend, just defend the seekers from the clutches of the evil forces which are also not so subtle. They are very gross-like forms, human forms. And it's easy to fight and have a war with them, kill them.

But at the point of Sahasrara, the work is very complicated. First of all, the Sahasrara of the human beings is itself a very complicated thing. First of all, it's not that the time is very precarious, but also every country has its own complication to add to Sahasrara. Apart from that, you know, in Sahasrara we have got the seats of all the centers, not only the seven centers we are dealing with. And so many Nadis... are worked out through Sahasrara.
(...) But today, it being incarnated in it's full force, is acting through you. Is acting towards you.
It is helping you in a very big way, which I don't know if the complicated brains are aware of. So many dimensions it is working, because first of all, we have this horrible thing called ego. ... Many people, in Sahaj Yoga also, think like that, start thinking that they are something great.

... With some people it may act in a way that you want to enjoy the game of power, those who have missed it or those who know how to use it.
There could be another type who are the ones who think they have always suffered and they are suffering now also.
There can be another type of a group of people, who - when they come to Sahaj Yoga - they have complications of emotions. I know of some people, I've heard, that they felt attraction for a man or a woman and they started behaving in that fashion - after coming to Sahaj Yoga.
Sometimes the attraction to money, attraction to greed and lust becomes subtler.
...
So the Mahamaya being the subtler force, - is the subtlest of all!, which you cannot understand and can explain through your brains, at all - acts and just stupefies, it stupefies them. Unless and until that is done they cannot stop it, they cannot cut themselves away. They - in a subtler way - they remain the same, but not aware of it. People who are miserly become miserly, in a very subtle way, in a very sophisticated way, but they are miserly. Those who are dominating become dominating in a subtler way.
... And that's why the Mahamaya acts. First of all it stupefies you, completely. So you realize that whatever you think or react to something, to certain situations, it's a Maya, is just a hallucination created.

....
"Maha" means the great, because it has all the powers of all the Deities, it controls all the Deities; it surmounts over all the Deities.
And "Maya" also means love and compassion. All this effort for what? People don't understand. In the west people don't understand why am I doing it? There must be some reason:-It's compassion!
But the play of the compassion comes through the Mahamaya power. ...
