Post 42: Revolution

"The New Revolution in your awareness has to take place otherwise all human achievements have no meaning. It would be like arranging all the electrical decorations for the marriage without the electrical current But when the light be on, you will see the Bridegroom and the Bride."
1900-0000 Quotes from the book The Advent (2002 edition) by Grégoire de Kalbermatten

[It's a very simple method, has to be simple because it is very vital. You are now joining a big revolution in the whole world, which has to bring forth the spirituality into the whole humanity transforming.]

"In the path of revolution such has been happening, that any person who goes into the expertise of anything he sinks, and finishes off.
In the same way it is happening to humans. There is so much competition and opposition going on, that man has made his brain so specialist that his brain is bursting.
Now a new type of man is needed that can know this Power beyond the mind. This Power which moves this mind also makes the heart beat. To know that Power you can talk all you want, or try all you want, you cannot reach there. This is without any doubt. It is not written anywhere about which I am talking. I am not saying anything very special."

"If someone is vindictive, or tries to be overbearing, just say, 'I don't care. Where do I have the time for talking to such beggars? Where do I have time for talking to such affluent people or such useless people?' Only when this happens, Sahaja Yoga can get established, because Sahaja Yoga is a Revolutionary Path in the center."

"Regarding money, the same thing: if you go to the temple, give the temple priest a rupee and a quarter. There they have kept potbellied people on hire to worship. 'Once these people come and take money, then religion is fulfilled.' People boast that they have contributed so many lākhs of rupees, this is done, then havan and pūjan [worship], etc.
This has no meaning. Because you have no right. Not only havan and pūjan, [but] you have no right even to mention them.
So why this havan, pūjan?
Once you do havan and pūjan then again there is corruption.
Therefore in our country many revolutions took place. They call them religious but I will say these are intellectual revolutions."

"[After 16 seconds:] For example, during war, people lost their values, because they lost faith in God. [After 12 seconds:] Chaste women, who believed in chastity, were brutally assaulted. [After 11 seconds:] Very religious people were persecuted, families were broken, many men were killed, and children, women, and old people, were scattered. A very horrible atmosphere of insecurity, overpowered all these nations. Then came the concentration camps, you see, also, which shattered human beings. Because human beings are very delicate instruments. They are the coveted creations, they are the highest, and they were dominated by things like bombs, which are matter. [After 14 seconds:] Thus the Spirit in man died out. People lost faith in righteousness, in love.
[After 15 seconds:] Then a new pattern of securities were built up.
[After 10 seconds:] The industrial revolution followed it, as a result. [After 12 seconds:] And the artificial sense of joy, of security, of love, was accepted by the society.
This is what man did with his freedom. Because wars are created by man, this is not God's doing."

Version 1:
"There is a huge revolution taking place in Sahaja: the dharma is getting completely getting established in people in its true form.
And due to that people are realizing that there is no point in entertaining such fake gurus who keep robbing them. There is no point in sticking to traditions that make you stupid and bring you down.
Traditions which make you ascend, which take you to higher, which establish you in the Realm of Spirituality, only those traditions are supposed to be regarded as genuine ones."

Version 2:
"There is a huge revolution taking place in Sahaja Yoga: as the true nature of religion has come to the fore, the dharma is getting completely established.
People are now realizing that the unnecessary intermediaries keep robbing them and they will no longer pay alms to them.
Traditions which make fool of you are of no use. Traditions which make you wise, which take you to a higher level, which really enlighten you spiritually, only those traditions should be considered genuine."

Version 1:
In the same way, Rāhurī's Mister [Madhukar] Dhumāḷ who was giving a lecture in front of you, he has brought about a revolution in villages and posts. Many Sahaja Yogis from Rāhurī have come with him and each one of them is a Sahaja Yogi like a polished diamond. If you would like to know how knowledgeable he is and if you would like to see an understanding about God Almighty, then you should have some discussion with him."
Similarly, Mister Dhumāḷ from Rāhurī who was giving the lecture before us, he has also created a revolution in the villages. There are quite a few Sahaja Yogis who have come along with him from Rāhurī, and each one of them is a beautiful Sahaja Yogi, chiseled like a diamond. To understand how knowledgeable they are and how deep their knowledge of the Divine Principle is, one must have discussion with them."

"The concept of Form and Formless should be explained so that these conflicts get resolved.
When our right channel was being created, the five elements had to be awakened. You know these five elements, all of this creation was made with them. So, these five elements had to be awakened with Yagñyas from the Vedas, and prayers and praises were recited. The five elements were awakened with Yagñyas. It was necessary to awaken these five elements, the fire, the water. It was only after they were awakened that human beings could have put them to use. Agriculture started after that as did the idea of science.
If our Piṅgalā nāḍī hadn't been awakened we wouldn't have researched into science nor known how to use these five elements, how to make electricity and how to use fire. We wouldn't have known fire let alone how to make it!
So that we become capable of making all this, that's why the right side had to be worshipped. That's why Yagñyas were performed. And because all these energies are formless, that's why the Formless was worshipped at that time.
Once these were awakened, people wondered what to do next.
Then meditation started and people came to the Central Path.
Once they started progressing on the Suṣhumṇā, they could see where the Deities were seated and that the bodies of the chakras were made of these five elements. When they studied the elements, they realized that they were governed by Deities. After that, they got to know these Deities one after the other, through meditation.
Then they claimed that they had Forms so the focus shifted from the Formless to Form. Those whose awareness evolved came to the Form.
Then you know what happened to the ones who started believing in the Forms. 'Worship this!', 'Worship that!' Ritualism came into being. Blind faith and religious fanaticism came into being and things were in a miserable state.
Then there was a great revolution, and not only that, Muhammad Sāheb took His birth. Christ came into this world. These people said that the Formless is to be worshipped and to do away with the Form."
There was a lot of secrecy in this matter at that time.
However, the Bible says that, 'All that is made by the Earth and the Sky should not be replicated and worshipped.' If Christians could understand this and apply this understanding to the practice of idol worship.
What has the Earth made? The Earth has made all the swayambhus.
Now tell the Christians that the Earth has made the swayambhus Herself and if you make their replicas, they are not worthy of worship because they're imperfect.
These things have a coefficient, too. Forms have a coefficient because of which there is a flow of the Chaitanya.
It is impossible to replicate those forms in exactly the same way. Also, the one who makes them should be a realized Soul who should not put his creation up for sale. Keeping this in mind, mostly all the idols that we worship are of zero value."

"Now, after the Industrial Re... Revolution and Industrial Revolution as they call it in the West, people have gone so far in creating aggressive economy that they are astounded the way, now, things are working out in those countries. The aggression that started with the industry, with the machinery, is now directed towards the human beings themselves.
......
Sahaja Yoga will bring a revolution and all these falsehood and old institutions will be destroyed and raise them on the basis of truth.
If not this, then the second thing I told you that humans will have to understand that, 'Nothing but the truth will prevail and last.'
Whatever hollow and false things we are holding on to and we stand for them and are taking them lightly, we should realize that this is like a crocodile.
......
Sahaja Yoga is a very big revolution.
You have never believed in this, you just want to memorize things what Kabīr said, people just memorize the sayings of Kabīr from morning till evening. But now the time has come that whatever Kabīr said is right before you.
......
If a human being has to achieve God and if this is the destination, and from this only the revolution will come and this is only meaningful, [then the] rest all is of no use. And all that is useless has no meaning, no meaning in the life of a human being."

"In olden days people were like this, to give their love, to play, to feed, and to give happiness. All this gave them a lot of happiness.
The same thing comes so overwhelmingly within, I do not know how to tell people that, 'Enough is enough, now do not do anything to come closer.'
When people went to villages, just do not know what all they did for them. Whatever we could do for them, we did all that.
Foreigners say that, "We never knew that there is so much of love in Indians." And I said, "Are you not like that? Even you have developed a lot of love."
They have also developed love and you all also have. A revolution of love has appeared.
We people, at the most love our own children, wife, or a few family members. And we do not even know the quantum of our love. Even in that we have our own choice.
For instance, when our son comes back from battlefield, then we think from heart as to how to meet him. Similarly, in enquiring about health, how to meet. Same quantum of love even in ordinary meeting, 'Oh, come, let us meet them,' 'They stay here, let us see them.' If they have any problem, 'Let us find out and help them,' 'Any thing else we can do?'
Such type of things start working from within as our happy vision gets a change totally.
To give, brings happiness. To support somebody, gives happiness.
Even if there are small requirements, a person volunteers to do it. He says, 'Could this be done? That done? Can it be done this way?'
The happiness we experience by this, cannot be compared to the present artificial calculation done for everything.
This love, which surges from Nābhī, which enters our attention, is spread all over. This is so large spread, happy and peaceful, that your health gets well just by meeting people.
I have also seen such people who always get bored with people. If somebody visits them, they say over the phone, 'Brother, I am not at home, please go.' They keep running. Then they will be running from morning to [till] evening."

"I had said last year that one day Gaṅgājī will eat them up.
And that's what happened. I saw on BBC that all were running with their stoles.
Sahaja Yoga doesn't only mean that you will have a union within. It is a revolution.
......
And only Viṣhṇu incarnates, Viṣhṇu Tattwa incarnates. He is the only one who can get out of the illusion of Bhavasāgar through many Incarnations. He is the one who comes many times on Earth and guides you. He is your leader.
It is because of this Tattwa you are evolved. This is the evolutionary element of this revolution. You became human from the amoeba because of Him, because He is the Bearer of Religion.
They change the dharma of all things and eventually change the dharma of humans. This is your human religion."

"Modern democracies began to emerge in the eighteenth century, but at around the same time, with the advancement of science, the industrial revolution began to manifest itself. What we call industrial and commercial values were also generated by the advent of the industrial or technological society. As it is, science is absolutely amoral. It does not conform to the rules and regulations laid down for the human value system. Science is the knowledge of matter and matter has its own internal regulations. Unlike human beings, matter does not have free will with which to establish any ethical value system for itself. In pure science, which is amoral, this quality has been carried over, almost without anyone noticing, into the practical and applied field through technology. Thus, industry and (in close association with it) commerce have become absolutely amoral.
......
There is a tendency, built up in the West since the time of Enlightenment and the democratic revolutions of the 18th century, that we should be free to absorb all the unrighteous, unholy, inauspicious and destructive ideas that we can find in every film, every book, and every newspaper, whatever the source. Somehow people want to take up the challenge to become the evil force themselves. People have now to decide if they want to stop this democratic derailment by understanding what must be done. The progress that the West is proud of is towards complete destruction, as human beings have the freedom to achieve heaven or go to hell and also they have the tremendous power of rationality to justify their doom."
