Today we are celebrating the great event of the resurrection of Christ. On
the same
pattern is your resurrection; that you have risen to the new life
of Divine love. You
were all in the knowledge that there’s something higher has to happen to you; that you are
to be born again, but nobody knew how it works. The subtle side of your being was never told
to you. The saints only talked as to how you should behave. They only said how you should
try to keep a very pure life, sincere life, but they didn't tell you how it will
work
out. Of course people knew in India about it, very few of them,
very, very few of
them, but now it's a worldwide knowledge through you people.
Now while your Kundalini rises, She is your Mother, She is your individual Mother, and
She gives you the second birth. That's how you get connected to the Divine paradise.
All this, if it is told without realization has no meaning, but people are given great
ideas about it and also were promised that one day your resurrection will come. It is
the greatest happening for you, is the greatest event of your life, and one must consider
it’s very fortunate that you have been able to achieve it. All this because also because
you desired for it. In many of your lives you have been desiring for the heavenly paradise.
People have been going round in the hills and dales seeking; doing all kinds of things.
That's already done by you. You don't have to give up anything, no need to give up anything.
This wrong idea; I should say an untimely idea.
This is the time when you have to get your Sahaja resurrection, spontaneous resurrection.
You don't have to do anything about it, it's just so simple as that; has worked out so
well. I was really very much overjoyed to see that so many people, specially Muslims,
about whom I have been so much worried that how can you save these people? They are so
much lost in the mess of wrong thinking. One has to understand that this Koran was written
forty years after the death of Mohammed Sahib. So maybe that there might be some words which
are being, just being shifted maybe, and the meaning might be little bit ambiguous.
Also there was another book called Sunna came out about the same time and was managed by
a person who was not such a great soul I should say, because he was not a realized soul. I
can't understand how can you religiously understand a poetry and in the poetry whatever is written,
how can you interpret it correctly? This is the reason why I, I am a poet also; I could
have written a poetry about it but I said no. Poetry can twist, can be twisted and also
people can misuse it. That’s the problem with the poetry is. In India we had the same
problem. For example, Kabira wrote such beautiful poetry and the way they interpreted was so
nonsensical and so much different from the spirit of Kabira's songs. About everything
they can twist the words according to their own need, I found out if I wrote poetry about
Divinity.
This exactly what has happened. In all the religions I’ve seen, when it
comes to
poetry people can twist it. Also, like in Bible, it was so much
accepted that Paul
is the one who is going to organize the publication about
Christ, and he didn't want to write
also about resurrection; he didn't want
to write about the Immaculate Conception. All
these things were in his mind and so Thomas had to run away to India and John refused
to write anything.
Because all such people take charge. They become in charge. They think
they are responsible for it, while they are not at all capable. They don't have
the
right to do it. As a result of that, Christianity took a very wrong attitude towards the inner
growth of human being. It’s, you see the result of that - today when you see what's
happening with the Catholic Church, you are amazed. How can such an organization be a
religious organization, where all kinds of nonsensical things are going on?
I was also born in a Christian family and I was shocked the way they
interpreted
Christ's life and the way talked about it with great authority. Books and books were
written. They give big, big sermons. I thought there's no truth in it what they are talking;
even My father felt the same way. Because all these books came much after, the authors
of these books. Secondly, those who tried to write it were not authorized to do that.
They were not spiritual people. They all wanted to have power; they wanted
to have
power in religion. The power in religion is inside, and that should
be awakened. I
must say thanks to the Sufis of this country and other
countries that people still think
that there is something beyond all these
words and talks and books.
This is something, such a blessing that we have that in every country we
had someone
who talked about reality, about the truth; though they were
condemned, they were tortured,
and so many of them were killed. This is
happening even today; I find that people don't want
to listen to reality,
to the truth. But I was so happy yesterday, really overjoyed,
to see that even
the people who were Muslims, were Islamic, have now coming together,
understanding
that they have a higher life than these rituals of everyday.
All these ritualistic life
that they have led, the way they have worked so
hard, [NOT CLEAR] forty days starvation,
going for Hajj - doing all kinds of things - but there was no unity among themselves.
Even among themselves there was no unity, and some places I was surprised that they
were killing each other. How can that be? Because these so called practices did not
make them collective. They were not collective. They were all separate identities, separate
sects, guided by absolutely ignorant people.
So we have to really celebrate the unity of these people, the collective
nature of
these people, who were lost to the truth. They had no idea as to
what truth is, but
still a seeker can never find consolation with whatever
exists. He’s seeking; he’s
seeking and seeking till he finds the truth. But also there are many seekers who lose their
way. In seeking they get lost. It's very difficult to convince them that you have lost your way.
But they should see from their own lives. They should see from their own attainment.
What have they achieved? Have they got any experience?
To be convinced of what you have got, you must try to verify it. You can verify on people;
you can verify on yourself. Whatever you are, you know on your fingertips as they say. Now
it’s said in the Koran, that at the time of your Kiyama – means resurrection time
– they’re two things Kiyamat and Kiyama – two things – also many people don’t
understand the difference.
One is when the resurrection time comes, and the another
is when your destruction comes in. For the resurrection of human being is the Kiyama,
in which it’s said that your hands will speak; that you should feel the vibrations
on your fingertips.
I would say those who are really Muslims, who are surrendered, and those who have been
selected to be higher people belonging to the God's realm must have hands that can speak;
otherwise they are not Muslims. I would not call them Muslims. They may be human beings,
but not Muslims. So it's compulsory that for every Muslim, he thinks he’s a Muslim, he
should have vibrations in his hands. He should feel the vibration. His hands must speak at
the time of resurrection, which is the Kiyama, Kiyama - not Kiyamat. These two words are
confused in the minds of the people. So those people who can verify about their achievements
themselves through their vibrations on their hands, and also about others through their
fingertips are the Muslims; according to Koran, but nobody has told them this. They don't
know.
To them it’s all right if you go to Mecca and come back from there; you become a Hajji,
finished. There’s another question one should ask which is very important - that why Mohammed
Sahib was so much against stone worshipping, clearly, why did He ask people to go round
that black square stone? What was the purpose of that? Why was that stone so important?
If you ask this question to any so called Muslim he’ll say that was the order, but
you can ask the question after all why? That's also just a stone. So why did, why did Mohammed
Sahib ask that you should go round that stone? So many statues were there made of stone and
people started worshipping all kinds of statues as they do in India also. But this stone was
a Swayambhu, and is mentioned in the Indian scriptures that there is Meccashwar Shiva.
We have Shivas everywhere in India; there are twelve Jyotirlingas. Now if I tell you,
you need not believe Me, but you can go and verify on your vibrations if it is a Shiva
or not; same with this black stone. So Mohammed Sahib found out that this is a Meccashwar
Shiva and so the people have to go round to achieve Shiva's blessings, but it became a
ritual. The whole thing became like a ritual and nobody could go further from that ritual.
Same thing with the Christianity. Why today is a day they are talking so big about repentance
and about feeling guilty about what they have done, but why did they do it? They are supposed
to be in charge of goodness, of virtues - so why did they do it? Why did they do wrong
things and now asking forgiveness from God? Because they were not realized souls. They’re
not Sahaja Yogis. If the Sahaja Yogis try to do something wrong then they know that
they are doing wrong on their fingertips, or we can ask them to get out of Sahaja Yoga,
but that seems to be the worst punishment for Sahaja Yogis. If I tell them to get out
of Sahaja Yoga, they don't like it. Why? Because they feel we are separated from reality. All
the blessings of the reality are lost to them; they think that way. The punishment is nothing,
because we just ask you get out of Sahaja Yoga. To look at it’s nothing, but Sahaja
Yoga is complete freedom. Sahaja Yoga is complete blessing. Sahaja Yoga is complete peace and
joy.
Surprisingly, if you read Koran you’ll be amazed that Mohammed Sahib wanted to bring
peace, but it's not so. I met one man from Kashmir. He said that, “Where is the peace?
They are all fighting, fighting; we want peace.”
But surprisingly, he said, “In India we find there’s peace. But this Kashmir is
a mad place where everybody is all the time challenged and everything attacked - under
the name of Islam itself.”
So I said, it's not Islam. Islam means surrender. And he said, “If you surrender they‘ll
kill you. We have no protection.” It's very surprising, very, very surprising, how now
the Muslims themselves are realizing that this cannot be Divine life. This cannot be
Divine life, because in Divine life people are just the same with each other.
You see we had Sufis all over the world. I have read them. I have read the
Sufis of
Turkey and also other places. Even in India we had Sufis, though
they don't call themselves
[SOUNDS LIKE so much OR Sufism]. Sufi means, I don't know what ever you may think it, but
according to Indian understanding Sufi means 'saaf' and 'saaf' means clean, means pure.
Those who are pure people are Sufis. In the purity they see nothing but Divine grace,
Divine love, Divine peace. They talked of peace only; they could not talk of war. Anybody
who talks of war cannot be a person who has got any right to do that. War is absolutely
like madness. Even animals won't fight like that. We are even worse than animals when
we think of war and killing each other. This should not be done and it has to be stopped
completely. Nobody has right to kill anybody unless and until he is attacked.
So what we hear about our resurrection is this - that we are above so many things. We
have lost all those destructive qualities. As in Sanskrit they call it we have six enemies
– kama, kroda, mada, mathsarya, loba moha. Kama means *** perversion. Kroda means
anger. Moha means attraction. Mada means the pride. Mathsarya means jealously. All these
six things, sixth one is the greed, all these six things that we had in our mind - out of
our ignorance, out of our upbringing, out of our reading, whatever it is, whatever we
had developed, we were having - just drops out. When the Kundalini rises and you become
one with the Divine, then you are on sound grounds. You realize that you have found the
truth and you no more can enjoy all these destructive habits. They just drop out.
So you go into a new realm of Divine construction within you. This is the real resurrection
of human beings. Now, you know that certain subtle things still remain despite the fact
that people try to destroy the books, to spoil the meaning of things. Despite that, subtle
things remain there. For example we offer eggs during Easter. What's the meaning of
offering eggs? Why should we offer an egg? First of all we offer egg because the egg
can go into a transformation. It can become a small chick; it can be born again. It’s
the egg has the capacity to be born again. So when you get this egg as a symbol of Easter
it means - you can become a different person, a reformed person and a great spiritual person.
You can become; it means that. Why do we give eggs? People don't know. I asked so many people.
I asked even some priests who think they are great authorities of Christianity. They didn't
know why they give eggs.
Secondly, if you read the story about the birth of Shri Ganesh
and then you proceed
on, you’ll be surprised is written down that it
was called as Brahmand - means
the egg of the Brahma that came into existence, and half of it became the Mahavishnu means
the Christ, and half of it remained as Shri Ganesh. And then it is said that then when
Mahavishnu came out, He started crying for His Father. Just think of it, He was asking
for His Father. Now if you see Christ, He always uses these two fingers. No other Incarnation
has used these two fingers. This means you know this is the Vishuddhi and this is the
Nabhi. That means He’s talking of His Father who was Nabhi King. Who's that? You know that
very well is the Vishnu, and His incarnation as Shri Krishna. So what He’s indicating
is this, that - they are My Father. How clearly He does that. Why not have some other mudras,
other style of holding the fingers? But He hold always these two fingers, meaning - My
Father the one who was Vishnu and who was Shri Krishna. And then in the lives of Shri
Krishna they say, “Mahavishnu will be Your Son.”
All these things are not put together as I am telling you; separately, but if you have
proper understanding you can understand the connection between the two - that Christ was
the son of Shri Vishnu and Shri Krishna and that was blessed that “You will be the support
of the whole universe.” The support, the adhar of the whole universe, He said it clearly.
It is said so that “You will be supporting the whole universe.”
Now the one half is Shri Ganesh who, is the support in a way; it supports the Kundalini,
it looks after the Kundalini, it looks after the chastity of the Mother - and the another
one which is expressed is Jesus Christ, who is the support of the whole universe. So naturally
it has to be the moral basis as He is a part and parcel of Shri Ganesha, it's the moral
basis of human beings. On the moral basis only you will be supported; not all other
nonsense that they have, but a moral basis, and which is missing in the lives of Christianity.
Everything is allowed, very surprising. You can do whatever you like as long as you don't
take a divorce in the Catholic Church. And also in the other Church which you can call
non-Catholic Churches, there are many, even if you are married, you can do whatever you
like. Even the Vatican I was told has all these problems. How can that be if you are
the people who think you are baptized? I mean there's a big celebration of baptism by these
priests.
Then where is the Sahasrara and where is the Kundalini and how do you have your second
birth? There's no second birth, just some priest puts his hand on your head. Actually
it makes a problem for realized souls, to put hand of the priest who are not realized
souls, and that creates a problem for children. I have seen many children they start crying
loudly when they are being blessed by these priests, because they are realized souls and
the priests are not. It's very interesting. But they say, “After all you see it's the
priests that are bad, but not Christ.” But how are they related to each other? Christ
stood for morality. And about Him also in these modern times they are saying all kinds
of filthy things. They cannot understand a character which is moral; to this extent we
have gone. Morality is out of question. You do whatever you like; as long as you go to
church and confess, you’re all right.
These are the absurdities of modern religions. Every religion has problems and the worst
I feel, when you have the support of the world as your leader - how can you allow people
to have such a immoral life? Immorality how can you tolerate when you follow the example
of Christ? Out of question! He is the embodiment of morality. He is Shri Ganesh and how can
you allow people to come to churches, to the temples, and allow them to have immoral life?
What is the atonement for such people? The basis of Christ's life, the whole being of
Christ is morality; to establish purity. Now, it was Shri Ganesha who was created first
by the Adishakti, because She wanted purity around. She wanted human beings to enjoy their
purity and their personality which was emitting light to others. If there is impurity say
for example on a glass and if you use that glass on top of the light, how can the light
pass out? The impure life cannot, cannot give light to others, and cannot show your inner
light also. Both things are absolutely true about impurities. But people say that we have
to accept because if you have to have more people for your religion you should accept
many things, and one of them is impurity. And just think of it.
Now at the Agnya where Christ resides, if your eyes are impure, full of *** and greed,
then you are against Christ; you are an antichrist. If your eyes are clean and pure, then only
you can enjoy love of God, otherwise you cannot. And also the love of another Sahaja Yogi or
Yogini you can only enjoy in completeness if your eyes are clean. Just imagine. But
if you have roving eyes and all sorts of things, I don't know how can you call yourself Christians?
You cannot. Whatever certificate you may carry, but you are not, because those who are following
Christ have to have absolutely a moral life. That's a compulsion of the inner being on
you - that you enjoy your morality and you enjoy above all your clean eyes. This is what
I have come to know about the Western life that the eyes are not clean. They’ll go
to the church and their eyes will be moving here and there. How can that be? How can you
do that? If you think Christ is the one who was resurrected and you are to be resurrected,
first of all see that you have pure love in your eyes. Now pure love is not relative,
cannot be contaminated, cannot have *** and greed in them. These two things have to drop
out from your mind completely. These are the days of people having greed, lots of greed
they have.
I just don't know what sort of things they have because I haven't studied so much the
immorality of human being. Whatever I see are beautiful people like you. But when I
try to understand the so-called Western culture I am surprised that even if they want to make
a life for someone - like “The Life of Shakespeare” I saw, who was according to Me was Avadhoota;
means a person who has gone beyond all human destructive habits, Avadhoot is a very high
quality yogi - and they show him as a stupid man running after a woman. They cannot conceive
of human beings who could be morally perfect, who will have moral sense. They cannot conceive,
because those who do this kind of thing are not realized soul. They are not Sahaja Yogis.
So the conception about morality doesn't come into their head. They think as we are like
that, the others are. Actually mostly they do it to justify themselves. So ugly and so
horrifying is the depiction of the character of such great people who talk such great things,
shows that human beings are really degraded in their value system. They cannot conceive
of somebody who is an ideal personality. They think by saying so they are talking of something
beyond reality. They don't know reality.
Yesterday’s Sufi thing, I was very impressed when they said about the four stages that
you have. And out of that the Haakikat - means the reality, you have to get into the reality.
Reality is what? It’s not a perception. It's not seeing something, but it’s being
something. If you start seeing, you might see something white, red, yellow but you are
not that. When you are, you are the reality, then you emit reality, you see reality, you
enjoy reality, you live in reality. This is real life and you don't indulge into something
which is unreal, imaginary or below dignity. No you don't do it. You are the reality, is
the Haakikat, as they say. You are the reality and you are emitting reality in your behavior,
in your talks, in your lives, in everything.
All this brings forth the greatest force of spirituality. Whatever is falsehood, whatever
is wrong, whatever is destructive, will run away from a man who stands in reality; is
automatic. It is absolutely part and parcel of the
same personality who is supposed
to be a realized soul. So the resurrection has taken place no doubt - all right. Your
hands are speaking - all right. I don't want to give you any command or any kind of a fixed
road that you have to follow. Now you are free, because you have the light. When you
have the light why should I tell you which way to go? You know yourself that you have
the light, so you follow yourself in a way that is an enlightened path, with your own
light. Don’t somebody has to tell you that don't do this, don't do, nothing of the kind.
You want just do it, if something wrong you will not do; if you are doing it then know
that you have to still rise above all this thing.
You are the Nabhis that are described in the Koran. You are the ones who are going to resurrect
the whole world. You are the ones who are going to help the downtrodden people into
the filth of immorality. Your life should show. Look at these few of these people who
were Sufis, who were very clean people, how have they been able to channelize the other
people into a better life? That is what you are. You have to channelize their lives; that's
your job. Don't think about what is happening, how the people are stupid, immoral, forget
it. What you have to know what you are. You have to be aware of yourself and of your responsibility
as being the purest of pure. As my name is indicates, you are My children, and that indicates
the children of Nirmal, means purity. Purity is the basis of your existence. You should
try to see where, what you were, in which part. There’s no mistake in appreciating
the art, appreciating all that is beautiful, appreciating all that is created out of beautiful
minds, but there should be no *** and greed in that appreciation. Pure appreciation, purity
is the message, and once you have the purity within yourself you will love yourself. As
I love you, you will love you also. And then you will understand this word love which comes
out of the purity. The blossoming of your purity, the fragrance of your purity, you
enjoy all the time and the love that you have flows, flows towards all those who are to
be loved, who have to be looked after.
Don’t worry about the people who are destructive. That's the only word I can use, because there
are so many things one can say about. Let them be destructive because they are destroying
themselves. Why should we worry about them? They think they are destroying others but
they are not, they are destroying themselves. So forget about it, just forget. You think
yourself to be responsible for the construction of the whole world, it's not only a few people.
You are very intelligent, knowledgeable and understanding. You are not like the Disciples
of Christ who were not educated, who didn't understand so much and who did get realization
but were not of your level. Whatever they could do reached to a point where this kind
of a mess of a Christianity has come, but you can't create that kind. You will create
a new vibrant religion which is global.
I was very happy to see that now we have people from all over the world. It’s a global movement
all over. It has nothing to do with the limited ideas
of so called religions. They have
ruined every religion. Islam is ruined,
Christianity ruined, and Hinduism ruined, and Buddhism
the worst. In
Buddhism you give up everything - all your belongings, all your property,
give to the guru, imagine! And the guru is so greedy horrible fellow. How can he give
resurrection? Himself is a greedy fellow, misleading others just taking away everything.
Then same thing about Christianity that you all become Nuns, you become Fathers, you become
Brothers and I don’t know, all nonsense. But there's no change within.
Somebody came to Me and I said, “Why did you become a priest?” He said, “Because
I was jobless. I had no job.” Baba? “So I took up the job of a priest.” Can you
imagine? He could not fit into any job, so the minimum of minimum he took is this job.
Then what did you do? “They told me what I have to preach and first I had to practice
and remember it by heart, and then I don't know, I started talking this, talking that.”
I said he must be a big possessed man. He had no mind of his own; he didn't know what
he was talking. He would take out one sentence from Bible and go on talking, boring everybody.
And I was surprised that within fifteen minutes people wanted to get out of the church. As
soon as the sermon was over they would run out and breathe, “Thank God.” Is that
what religion gives you? Is that what should happen to you? No, it's not that. What happens
to you that you enjoy yourself, you enjoy the collectivity, you enjoy the goodness,
the morality. The whole thing is like the nectar of life. So that changes the whole
picture.
The ritualism is so much; in the Hindu religion there is too much of ritualism. You sit on
the right or you sit on the left; you do this at this time I mean, lots of it. That when
your sister dies how many days you should starve yourself; if your husband dies then
how many days? Dies is died, finished; the body’s finished now. So you fast for so
many days - is very wrong, because you’re fasting the bhoot might come in to you. But
still, what I would say all these ritualisms and all that, are created by human beings
who were claiming to be something great. They are not; by no means they are the people in
charge of morality, in charge of higher life. They lead such a mundane useless life.
I went to a temple of Shri Ganesha, which is supposed to be Swayambhu, one of the eight
temples; it is one of them. And I was surprised. The man who was worshipping was supposed to
be the priest, he was suffering from paralysis, and his brother died of paralysis, now his
son was also paralyzed. He said, “What is this Ganesha doing to us Mother?” I said,
“What are you doing to Ganesha? How much money you earn out of it?” He said, “Quite
a lot.” “And then what do you do with this money? Do you do anything for the society?
Do you try to improve their lives? Have you any attention on the society or you are just
ooking after yourself?” As a result, he’s got paralysis, his brother got paralysis,
son got paralysis. And he was blaming Ganesha for that. He said, “Is it a real Ganesha?”
“Yes it is, but you are not. You don't deserve.” I told him off on his face. He said, “All
right you may say whatever you like but You cure me.” I said, “First promise that
whatever money you get out of this temple you will spend it for the betterment of people.”
But how can they? They are not realized souls. Such a lot of priests I see walking about
with all this funny dresses. What? These are like dead bodies, walking around with all
kinds bad vibrations. I can't understand. And the other people are very simple, they
say, "Oh my goodness, see now he’s a priest." So they must respect. But, they don't see
it; they do not ascertain what is the spiritual value of that person who calls himself as
the priest. That is your job. You don't have to fight with them. You don't have to denounce
them. You don't have to describe them. No need, but understand that you are different.
You have the right. You are the authority and so with that authority and confidence
you have to go about and save people. You are realized souls. You got your resurrection.
You are yogis; I agree, but what is your job? Why, why this has happened? Why this light
has come in to you is to take the blind in your hands and take them towards the light.
This is what is your resurrection for. It's not only for your seeking but also is the
grace of the Divine, for you to make the whole world Divine, as far as possible. How many
people have you given realization? How many people you have talked to them? I tell you
I was surprised; once I was traveling by plane and there was some lady traveling with Me
and she started talking to Me about her cult, about her nonsense. So look at it, shamelessly
she was talking. Listening to her I said, Sahaja Yogis won't, they won't talk about
Sahaja Yoga. Every person who is a Sahaja Yogi has to talk about Sahaja Yoga, may not
be with the wrong type but with the right type of people. That's a thing you have to
do. That's why you are enlightened. You are not enlightened to be put somewhere in the
forest or to be lost to the whole world. You are enlightened; you are resurrected to enlighten
other people. That's what you are there for and you can do it. Many have done it. So many
of you have done it, and I would say that all of you, whether you are a man or a woman,
you have to do it.
And that's the request of your Mother - that make use of your realization. And the attention
should be only on realization. How many people you are going to give realization to? How
many people you are going to save? Is a very simple job for you. You have to just raise
the Kundalini. You can. You should see how just with your hand you can raise the Kundalini
of others and give them their resurrection. You don't have to do anything. The life is
not that difficult for you. Your job is the easiest thing; it’s just to raise your hand.
In hand, in your hand you have the power, just to raise your hand and give them realization,
instead of feeling diffident. That's why I would say you are all resurrected, you are
all realized souls, and you have to create the Divine paradise on this earth.May God
bless you.
