1993-07-18 Public Program, Antwerp, Belgium I am sorry there was an accident on the way and it took us so much time that they were delayed and we were also delayed. I hope you will excuse us. [Shri Mataji explains the bhajan written by Saint Namadeva ‘Nirgunanchi Bheti Aalo Sugunasange’] “This song, this song is an introduction very much because it’s a song which was created in the sixteenth century by a very famous musician – I should say a very famous poet – called Namadeva. And he was himself a tailor and a Realized soul, a saint. He went to see another Realized soul who was a saint, who was a potter [Gora Kumbhar]. So, when he went and saw [that] this potter was just trying to knead the clay for making the pot. And he was just doing it with his feet. So this great poet stood before him absolutely flabbergasted. And there he says this sentence that “I came to see the formless.” Nirgun [means] formless. “But here I meet the formless in the form of form.” That is sagun [form]. That is nirguna [formless] becoming sagun. Only, only a saint can say this to another person who is a saint. This appreciation of the Divinity of another person is only possible for a saint. There is no jealousy, there no backbiting, nothing. It’s just appreciation of a saint. And he said it in that way. This was in the sixteenth century [that] he made this poem. He was a great Read More …

1987-10-08 Public Program Day 2 and Q+A, Antwerp, Belgium PART I (Talk) I am sorry the hall is so far away, you found it so difficult to come here. I bow to all the people who are seeking the truth. Yesterday I explained to you that truth is what it is, will be the same. And a simple truth is that you are the spirit. You are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not these conditionings, you are not this ego, but you are the spirit. And the spirit is reflected within you as in the mirror there is a reflection of a personality, here is the reflection of God Almighty. Now those people who have talked about God or have said about God have been absolutely correct and honest. Of course nowadays in modern times, we find many false people who are claiming about God. But it is very easy to make them out. None of the incarnations like Christ or Rama or Krishna asked for money from their disciples. They did not have hankering, they did not have the temptation to build big huge palaces out of the money of their disciples., or to buy Rolls Royces. One must understand that it is so invaluable, that you cannot pay for it. I say it again and again here because I have been told by very responsible people that Anglo section brain cannot understand anything without money. Unless and until you make them pay money, Read More …

How do we get to the roots? thumbnail

How do we get to the roots? Antwerp (Belgium)

Public Program, Brussels 1986-0919 In the world today, we find an uncertain fear of a great shock. (I think little louder, they are not hearing) It could be from the atomic explosion, could be from some financial catastrophe, but the destruction is now going to come through our inner being. We have paid attention to the outward world, but we have paid no attention whatsoever to our inner being. In the west, the search has been outside, how to master all the elements. And the whole thing has grown as a big tree out of proportion to its roots. And we do not know what our roots are. Such a tree which is so much outgrown has not grown its roots and has not been able to supply the vital energy, is about to collapse. But this tree is within every individual. Which grows downward from the head. And the roots are in the head. When we go on using our human awareness, we start building up mental conceptions. There are mental conceptions about God, there are mental conceptions about eternal life, there are mental conceptions about the spirit. Mental conceptions are not the reality. Reality is what it is. We have to very humbly accept that we have to know the reality. But to know the reality we have to get to the roots. And how do we get to the roots? That means we have to be subtler human beings. That means this human awareness can only go Read More …
