We are collective, we are nice to each other, we don't
tell lies, we don't try to destroy anyone. That means we are much above
human failings and this is only because of the light. You can see where
you are faltering. It's just you see for yourself. For that, I think meditation
is the most important thing.
Every day you should do meditation. Those who do not
do meditation are capable of falling down because meditation is like putting
oil into the lamp. Those who do not meditate, think they can do without
it, are sadly mistaken. They have to meditate morning and evening. The
problem is everything comes so handily, so simple that they don't understand
that meditation is very important.
Not you, but there are many I know who get Realization,
who don't meditate and their style is different. Their nature is different.
Meditation is such a soothing thing ... a beautiful way of connection
with the Divine, that all your problems get solved in that meditative
moment.
If you are not meditating, you are not following meditation,
then maybe your light will go down. It won't give sufficient light. It's
important, very important to find out about yourself, about others in
the meditation.
How to do meditation, many people ask. Don't do anything,
just go into thoughtless awareness. Try to go to the thoughtless awareness.
If you can get into that condition of thoughtless awareness, you can do
your job because that's the point where you are with the truth, with the
reality, with the joy....
When you meditate try not to make some sort of a function
out of it - no. Meditation is something silent in yourself, silence in
your thoughts and going to that deep ocean which is within you, itself.
But supposing you don't do that, if you don't meditate. I can make out
immediately those who are meditating and those who are not. It's not difficult
for Me.
Those who do not meditate are always hesitating. They
are confused. They can't understand. And that's why meditation is the
most important thing....Just like a light burns with the electricity flowing
in it, in the same way meditation is a continuous availability of the
Divine Force. That will reduce all your agitations.
Not only that, but it takes out all the negative thoughts.
It takes out all the discouraging things. And when you are meditating
like that, thoughtless awareness, then you will be amazed how you are
helped from within and without. It's a terrible power that works, this
thoughtless awareness. So those who do not meditate cannot go very much
far with the advantage of Sahaj Yog....
If you are in thoughtless awareness, what happens to
you is that you get the confidence, complete confidence of divinity. You
know you have it....Meditation will give you security.... It will give
you are a real enlightenment and a complete connection with the Divine.
Without the connection of the Divine, what's the use of doing Sahaj Yog?...
I've talked so much about meditation before, but today
when I see all these candles burning, I think they are all meditating.
They are all in meditation and that's how they're growing. In the same
way, Sahaja Yogis who meditate, I know. And those who don't, I know. And
if they have problems, I know why the problems are there....
It's very important to become thoughtlessly aware because
then there are no thoughts coming from the left or the right, from the
past or the future. Just in the present you are there. It's something
you all have. It's not that I'm saying that to you, but all of you have
this, but steady yourself. You have to steady yourself at thoughtless
awareness. How long - that's not the point. The point is once you've touched
it, you'll go on touching it....
It is always described in all the great books, but not
so clearly as I am telling you.... Even for a second, if you get it, it's
a very good idea. Then you go on increasing that second.
I think it's a reflecting mind. When you look at something,
you can become thoughtlessly aware and then your mind deflects to the
depth of what you see. That's how you all will become really very creative
Sahaja Yogis....
Many people are here who will say, 'Mother, we don't
get that state.' Try. Try that. I don't believe you cannot get it. All
of you can get that thought that 'I can get it.' And you will get it.
In that, you don't have to discard anything, you don't have to see anything,
just go into meditation and you will be amazed how it will work out. Of
course, you are very much there, most of you, but still, I would say,
increase that thoughtless awareness, that area....
So today's message is that while you are meditating,
go into thoughtless awareness. No thought is important because it's your
own creation. But if you have to become one with the divine creation,
you have to get to that state of thoughtless awareness, minimum of minimum.
And that comes to you gradually if you grow and you'll be amazed how you'll
be able to grow into Sahaja Yoga in a very big way.
