Choice after Self Realisation
I was listening to a very old speech CD of Shri Mataji. The title was Sat, Chit, Anand, the speech delivered in India, way back in 1977.
Prior to listening to this CD, I was always wondering, how after realisation, the human qualities does not change and very much linger around the age old habits and thoughts? Why the kundalini awakening does not necessitate change in the human qualities for better? In some cases, after realisation, why certain people were exposed? Does it not bring bad repute to the self realisation process?
Shri Mataji, explains this beautifully in her talk. After self realisation, you have two options, either you become a self realised person, or you become a rakshasa(person with negative thoughts and deeds). So, the choice is ours as to what we want to become.
To become a self realised person, one need not do much than keeping his attention on his spirit and be in thoughtless state, which is without reaction. Also this is called witness state. It's a vicious circle, be in thoughtless state to achieve witness by not reacting. If any one of this cycle is broken, then your mind falls at the hands of your thoughts.
Your thoughts start controlling your mind and action which will lead to do wrong things, wrong advise to others and if person who is listening is not strong enough in his meditation, will automatically listen to this person and as Mother says, it's a fratenity of Bhoots. (negative minds together).
She has quoted Ravana as classic example of a realised person turning into Rakshasa. Despite his realisation, despite his boons from Lord Shiva, still he was conquered by his thoughts. He was unable to control his thoughts through interrospection. He captured Sita, wife of Lord Rama and had to pay a heavy price. Not only he lost his life, kingdom and family but also the hard earned good name as a realised person. In short he lost connection with the divine.
It is upto us as to what we want to become. Interrospection plays a vital role in achieving that. Every night, before going to bed, if we take a stroll mentally as to what we achieved today(sahaj activities) what we spoke? Did we hurt anyone by our talks? Did we listened to the advises of wrong person? Did we react without being in witness?
Spirit does not lie. If you ask your spirit the above questions(being in thoughtless state), you will get a clear answer. The better option would be not to get into those situation again, be in witness state.
As mother kundalini tests us all the time, we need to be careful in our words and deeds.
On this day of Shri Mataji's birthday, let's take a vow to be a better sahaj yogies.
The above statements are purely based on my interrospection. Comments and suggestions are most welcome.
