But first and foremost is: ‘You have to become your spirit.” Without knowing the Spirit you cannot know God. But the Spirit itself is a sensitive thing. It is there no doubt, it stays there no doubt, but that it should ,shine in your attention. You have to know that your attention has to be congenial to the Spirit. If the attention is not congenial, then the Spirit doesn’t shine. Spirit will shine on an attention which is steady. Steady it by balancing, you bring a steady state. Balance your thoughts, balance your eyes, balance your desires. Try to balance it. Ego and super-ego; you balance it. Attention is balanced very much like that. Now how do you do with your will? First of all you desire and then you act. Where am I going? What am I doing? I am a seeker. Is this the thing I have to do as a seeker? immediately balance will come. So this balancing has to come; foremost thing is to balance yourself. Any extreme behaviour must be balanced. Any extreme attitude towards life must be brought down. Now, here we find that the will acts to oppose and in an opposite direction. For example people become obstinate. They do not want to accept that we have to balance and they say, “Oh! I am alright,” and they’ll give all explanations to show they are alright. For whom are you giving the explanations? You are fighting with yourself. Why? Because you are not yet integrated fully within yourself. So the second point is the integration. Integration of your attention, Integration comes in when you do some thing, you wish the same thing, you enjoy the same thing. If you want something else, then you find integration is also wobbly in your attention. But if you want your Spirit, you just want your Spirit to be happy. Spirit is always happy. How are you going to make the Spirit happy? Only thing when you say, you want the Spirit to be happy, what you are saying is this, that you want your attention to be happy. If you keep your attention happy and cheerful, completely integrated with your being, not with your ego. This is where the discretion has to be used. So from balancing and integration we go to third point, is discretion because you are very senior members of Sahaja Yoga, very senior students. And now you know how to be discreet. What to take, what not to take. It’s very easy to criticize others, it’s very easy to say others are wrong, but it should be the easiest to see what is wrong with you because you cannot correct others, you can only correct yourself. It’s as simple as that! Like a daughter is married to another man, now supposing there is any problem between the two, it’s better to tell your daughter than to tell the other man because she is your own. In the same way it is better to correct yourself than to correct others. It’s the easiest thing to correct yourself if you could look at your ego which is stopping it. And who is the gainer? Who is the person who receives the benediction, and the bliss of Sahaja Yoga?
