“Exista unii oameni care M-au intalnit si-au spus ca L-au intalnit pe Dumnezeu. Am zis, “Intr-adevar? Cum, cum arata El?” “Vai, L-am intalnit pe strada.” Am zis, “Foarte bine.” Iar altcineva a zis “Eu sunt Cristos.” Altul a zis “Eu sunt Krishna .” Dar care este dovada? Vreau sa spun ca… sa presupunem ca Eu afirm ca acesta este aur. Insa aurul are o densitate. Puteti descoperi daca este aur sau argint sau altceva insa voi nu veti da inainte zicand ca “Eu CRED ca este aur.” Pai devine aur [daca doar afirmati asta], poate deveni aur? In acelasi fel este si credinta noastra deoarece gandim ca avem o convingere in asta dar este un mit – in masura in care va preocupa asta, in masura in care oricine altcineva se preocupa de asta. Pana cand si daca nu aveti dovada lui Dumnezeu, nimeni nu are de gand sa creada in Dumnezeu, macar atata lucru va pot spune. Acesta este un alt mit. Fie ca voi credeti ca sunteti conectati cu Dumnezeu, este in aceeasi masura un mit ca si atunci cand spuneti ca nu exista Dumnezeu. Deoarece daca nu L-ati intalnit, cum puteti spune asta, ca El nu exista? “Poate sa fie, poate sa nu fie” – este o atitudine mai buna. Doar sa-L invinuiti ca nu exista, asta este un alt mit. Noi intr-un fel sau altul ne-am descurcat sa convietuim cu un mit. Este foarte confortabil sa traiesti cu mitul. Este o viata confortabila; noi nu vrem sa renuntam la confort de nici un fel. Precum acum cand spuneam cuiva ca o cochilie mica adaposteste o stridie mica in interior. Acum, stridia nu vrea sa iasa afara din cochilie. Este foarte confortabil. Si un fir mic de praf vine in cochilie si se spune ca deranjeaza confortul stridiei. Asa ca stridia inconjoara firul de praf cu saliva ei, o aseaza acolo, isi arcuieste putintel corpul sau si spune ca “Acum eu ma simt confortabil, acum eu sunt foarte satisfacuta, este bine. Cochilia este lucrul care-mi trebuia.” Si astfel este cum noi continuam sa traim cu cochilia, evitand sa intelegem ca aceasta cochilie nu este lucrul pe care-l cautam. Asa ca cineva trebuie sa paraseasca acel sentiment de confort pe care-l are. Daca aveti o casa, foarte dragut! Am copii, foarte dragut! Am o sotie, am o masina – este in regula. Ma simt foarte confortabil, ma simt foarte satisfacut. Insa atunci anumite calamitati apar. Sunteti pusi in fatza lor. Problemele incep sa vina – si atunci ganditi ca “Eu niciodata nu m-am asteptat la asta, am avut o mai mare speranta de bine.” Exista un alt tip de oameni care gandesc ca – vedeti, iarasi apare acest “gandesc”! – ei trebuie sa-L caute pe Dumnezeu. Si astfel este cum ei sar in mare. Sar in foc, sar in apa, sar in tot soiul de lucruri fara intelegerea pericolului implicat. Asa ca pe de o parte avem o situatie a unei stridii care sta bine merci incolacita in confort iar o alta situatie a unei stridii care este arsa, care este inecata sau altceva. Deci ce ar trebui sa faca o fiinta umana? Ar trebui sa stea confortabil insa tot timpul ar trebui sa gandeasca faptul ca “Eu inca nu L-am intalnit pe Dumnezeu, trebuie sa-L intalnesc. Trebuie sa fiu atent si sa observ. Trebuie sa inteleg.” Stridia din cochilie cateodata este mai buna decat cea care iese afara si este complet fripta. Dar scoica din cochilie va muri pe limba ei/va ramane la acelasi nivel. Insa exista posibilitatea ca iesind afara din cochilie sa intalneasca ceva. Deoarece el este un cautator, Dumnezeu de asemenea se ingrijeste de el, Dumnezeu de asemenea vrea sa ajute. Daca el poate sa-si asculte inconstientul sau, ar putea sa functioneze. Sahaja Yoga nu este un lucru nou. Sahaja inseamna “spontan”. Orice se intampla in viata este spontan. De la amoeba si pana la aceasta stare actuala ati ajuns spontan, sahaja – nascut odata cu voi. Este in interiorul vostru! Gradual, precum o samanta care germineaza si devine floare si atunci parfumul incepe sa emita din floare, in acelasi fel totul este construit in voi. Nu trebuie sa mergeti nicaieri, ea rezida intre gandirea si dorinta voastra. Voi doriti ceva si nu ganditi despre asta – aceasta este cea mai buna cale prin care sa o faceti. Avem doua competente in noi iar una este dorinta. Prin aceasta parte stanga, canalul [de pe plansa] colorat in albastru aprins, noi dorim. Se manifesta in afara ca si sistem nervos simpatic si care este partea noastra emotionala care este responsabila de colectarea a tot ce este in trecutul nostru, toate experientele noastre, toate conditionarile. Acesta este psihicul care reprezinta ingrijorarea/face obiectul psihologilor. Asa ca noi dorim.” Program Public, Caxton Hall, Londra ( Anglia ), 21 Aprilie 1980 English Original: “There are some people who met Me, they said they have met God. I said, “Really? How, how does He look like?” “Oh, I met Him on the street.” I said, “Very good.” And somebody says, “I am Christ.” Somebody says, “I am Krishna .” But what is the proof? I mean, supposing I say this is gold. Then gold has a density. You can find out whether it is gold or silver or something but you cannot just go on saying, “I THINK it is gold.” So it becomes gold, can it? In the same way our faith, because we think we have a belief in it, is mythical – as far as you are concerned, as far as anybody else is concerned. Unless and until you give the proof of God, nobody is going to believe in God any further, I can tell you this much. And this is the reason another mythical stuff is coming up is that there is no God. This is another myth. Either to believe that you are connected with God is equally mythical as to say there is no God. Because if you have not met Him how do you say, there is not? “There may be, may not be” – is a better situation. Just to denounce Him that there is no God, is another myth. We some or other managed to live with a myth. It’s very comfortable to live with myth. It’s a comfortable life; we do not want to give up our comforts. As just now, I was telling someone that a little shell contains a little oyster in it. Now, the oyster doesn’t want to get out of the shell. It’s quite comfortable. And a little bit of a sand comes in and is said troubling the comfort of the oyster. So, oyster takes out his saliva goes round it, makes it softer, puts it there, curls up a little bit of its body and says, “Now I am comfortable, now I am very satisfied, it’s all right. The shell is the thing for me.” And that’s how we go on living with the shell, avoiding understanding that this shell is not the thing we are seeking. So, one has to get out of that comfortable feeling one has. If you have a house, very nice! I’ve got children, very nice! I’ve got a wife, I’ve got a car – it’s all right. I am very comfortable, I am very satisfied. But then, certain calamities come in. You are faced with them. Problems come in – and then you think, “I never waited for this, it was more sun expected.” There are another set of people, who think – who ‘think’, again! – that they have to search God. And that’s how they jump into sea. They jump into fire, they jump into water, they jump into all kinds of things without understanding what danger it entails. So one side we have a comfortably coiled-up an oyster and another is a oyster which is burnt up, which is either drowned or something. So what should a human being do? He should be comfortable, but all the time he should think that, “I have not yet met God, I must meet. I have to watch and see. I have to understand.” Oyster in the shell is better sometimes than the oyster, which is completely fried out. But the oyster in the shell will die its own death. But there is a possibility about the oyster which has come out that he might meet something. Because he is a seeker, God also looks after him, God also wants to help. If he could listen to his own unconscious, he could work it out. Sahaja Yoga is not a new thing. Sahaja means ‘spontaneous’. Everything that happens in life is spontaneous. From amoeba to this state, you have come spontaneously, sahaja – born with you. It is within you! Gradually, as a seed sprouts into a flower and then the fragrance starts emitting out from the flower, in the same way it is all built in you. You don’t have to go anywhere, it is between your own thinking and your desiring it resides. You desire something and you don’t think about it – that is the best way you can do it. We have two capacities within us, one is to desire. With this left side, the deep blue coloured channel within us, we desire. It manifests outside as left sympathetic nervous system, which is our emotional side, which is responsible for collecting all our past, all our experiences, all our conditioning. This is the psyche about which the psychologists are worried. So we desire.” Public Program, Caxton Hall, London ( England ), 21 April 1980
