Very often those who meditate
expect great things to be done and to happen.
Very often those who reply
say either "you have nothing to do" or "expect great things to happen".
Incoherence in reply is explained by the lack of context given.
Everything is correct and incorrect depending on the context or rather phase of progression and even on the viewpoint.
First things first,
we cannot mix up Spirit with its manifestation.
Secondly, do nothing means to revert back to our true natural process of Life.
Such as a foetus who does nothing to grow in her mother womb
or a seed which does nothing under the soil, to grow.
As said in my preferred cartoon aka Rick & Morty in the episode with the crows
"We are trained to be untrained".
So revert back to the "No doing" - in the sense that only the Power of God within does it
and it does it when we create the space for it to be.
Space is created when we let go of our thoughts.
Now, for us to let go of the thoughts
we need to let them arise.
Doing only sitting and wanting the silence, ie thoughtless awareness
without allowing the natural process to take place, ie letting the thoughts to arise
is internal resistance and counter productive.
Thirdly, up to a point only we do nothing.
But after we must actively involve ourselves as a co-creator.
and How?
By seeing the thoughts and giving them to the Mother/power inside of us
with the inner intent to "please untie the knot".
No more self solving issues or time waste.
Then, we get the manifestation without its duality.
Meaning the problem or experience we naturally encountered in our life,
we witness it
so that the energy within also meets it
and then we do not create obstructions by trying to control the solving phase of this problem.
Here we act as a dormant seed and let her do the cleansing, apportioning, the job in brief.
This process every single person goes through it
realised or non realised
seeker of truth or not
as long as it is part of creation
it goes through it.
Now the big difference is when you are realised
you are aware of what is going on and you are above it
ie out of time & space.
So in relative terms,
you are in an accelerated growth
in terms of lessons learned by the soul
and its shaping for future experiences.
Others, non realised
will be also but much slower in terms of lesson learned
depending on the values they follow, karma they earn and most importantly
after how long they let go, forgive and forget.
Certainly there is more to it,
but in a nutshell,
being realised give you an enormous advantage of being aware and in control
vs unrealised who see the review of their life only at death and are not in control.
Now, as a meditator
you can even more accelerate that purification process
i.e. cleaning the mud, i.e. the unorganised and chaotic bundle of values and experiences you are still identifying yourself with.
But remember,
doing only sitting meditation is not enough.
As very often I feel coolness rapidly when sitting
but it is only in the walking that more mud is being stirred,
as you are in movement!
So the walking meditation is the best accelerator
to face your thoughts arising.
Now the key is to take them as a blessing nor as a pestering phase.
As only thoughts arising are the clue to what is in the way
to your success.
They point at what bothers you.
Only when you see what you are afraid of
can you overcome it,
as it will not exist anymore.
Fears are usually undealt unknown items.
Also let us not forget we are then lucky at this very moment
to intent the following:
I give it to the Shakti within me
to unknot the knot.
This will solve the current issue at hand
while making space for new experiences.
It is also true that all meditators are not the same
all have not the same maturity.
Very much also those who tried to help me
very often when it was my turn to give them back
that was unfortunately for them, the point when they decided to give up on the relationship.
Because very often
they put their doing as a reward, a favour they were doing.
So when the divine timing come to get the natural reward or payback
they had already deserted.
Very often the patience is lacking.
I recall a nice realised guy how helped me to settle in UK
and unfortunately his kid was into drugs
which I had no clue of.
It used to smell weird but how could I have known it was drug?
So the kid meditates not, it is into drug
and used me as a third party for collateral damage.
I.e if food was missing or fridge was empty, I had a good back for that.
Now what I learned,
as drug is still a pain in the uk..
that the kid was smoking marijuana
which makes him hungry at all time.
Hence he was emptying the fridge
and blaming it on me.
Of course I was even unaware of this blame.
Because the nice father never checked this with me,
yet he felt being stolen by me.
And of course went even to cry about this to other third parties,
who also took the word for granted.
I must admit for many years,
I had shoved this under the carpet,
thinking I had let go of the issue.
To forgive
is to know that you have nothing to do with their personalities.
That they are themselves contained by it, like in a jail.
But you only have to do with with their Spirit
which is the same as mine.
So when the time came for me
to help this nice guy back
in one way or the other
you can imagine his reluctancy to get back in touch.
Monetary and vibratory payback is unfortunately his missed blessings.
While I remember
when I used to be in Paris
I had given shelter to a yogi
so I remember I gave her a room, food and even a job.
Now, I realised I had never asked her to contribute be it for food or for rent or anything else.
Instead, she stopped meditation and ended up as soon as she got the job, to make sure to create there a hell, so much that I had to leave that job place as a bad apple just contaminate the rest of the batch.
Now, that I think of this,
I was raised as such.
You just help and the guest is a God sent person.
It never occurred to me to make her pay, nor I felt constricted by her presence.
I was just enjoying the process.
Moral of the story,
focus on Spirit, as everyone is you.
Let them be with their own personality.
The progress of purification is equal to the swiftness of the "Letting go".
Blame has no place, especially if you want to grow.
Finally, most of the yogi I met are stuck at the same level.
Vibrations and even powers, growing from yogi to mahayogi, is nearly unheard of.
Why is that so?
Because while worshipping the Mother within
all the focus goes to the Mother without..
The picture of Shri Mataji should be used as a sustaining means to keep in touch with vibrations
at the same level as Mother Nature, Trees, clouds etc.
The Goddess is within
the Feminine Power is within
the Spirit yet is the aim, to be the witness
to be born again.
Which brings me to this last point:
when we were born
we had no clue of the personality of the people
we just smiled and beamed joy
Imagine yourself when born, as a baby did you hate such and such
by seeing their face? No.
So that is the Truth, the Nature on which we are born and should revert to.
Now, very often I remember
when I hold grudge,
I exclaim to myself, when I remember,
what a waste of time! When I was born that person or situation already existed
and yet I was not bothered by it.
So let it go, as it is same now, and that is the Truth.
