England

What is the role of England in the whole Cosmos? We are specially born in this place for a particular type of special work we have to do, as an instrument of the Divine… not doing yourself something, but as an instrument. Like a painter has a brush and is nicely painting – it’s the painter that’s painting. But if the brush starts thinking “I” am the one who is painting, it’s stupidity; When the drop becomes the Ocean, then it doesn’t think it is a drop… it thinks it is a part of the Ocean. In the same way, once you grow up, you become very collective (1998-0706)

England is the heart of the whole Universe (1984-0731; 1980-0721)… of the world… whatever happens in England gets known all over the world (1980-0721)… from here everything circulates (1980-0809); Is Sadashiva’s Country (1985-0806), which has to become Jerusalem (1980-1027); Only Blake has told of Jerusalem… he could see that vision… he was that sensitive… the way he has described, talked of the glory of this country. All this inertia, this lethargy that is settling into this country is because of our foolishness, and stupidity. You are the most dynamic people… in your spiritual work you can be very very dynamic. You are the ones who are going to throw away all the shackles of nonsense… and you are the ones who are going to recreate a beautiful arena for the whole world… that’s why I’m here. I’ve been here for 6 years… and again I am here for 6 years… perhaps… I hope so. I hope something substantial will be done in all the parts, where the English who are my children… who are the Saints of the past, who are born in this country… and will receive this… and settle into it, and not waste your energy in the ego as your forefathers did… they just wasted their life (1980-0809)

I was happy to learn that the great poet of this country, Blake… had prophesised about me… and it’s so beautifully done… that he said that England is going to be the Jerusalem… means that this is going to be the pilgrimage… the venue has shifted. He has said that the furnace will be burning in Surrey Heath, where I came first… and then he mentioned Lambeth Vale, where we have got our

Ashram… where the foundations will be laid – we have laid the foundations… and that Jerusalem is going to be in England… not in India… and you are the people responsible for this Jerusalem (1980-1019)… that which England, the Heart of the Universe, must become… where people will come to worship (1982-0710)

Only Blake has told of Jerusalem… he could see that vision… he was that sensitive… the way he has described, talked of the glory of this country (England – Ed). All this inertia, this lethargy that is settling into this country is because of our foolishness, and stupidity. You are the most dynamic people… in your spiritual work you can be very very dynamic. You are the ones who are going to throw away all the shackles of nonsense… and you are the ones who are going to recreate a beautiful arena for the whole world… that’s why I’m here. I’ve been here for 6 years… and again I am here for 6 years… perhaps… I hope so. I hope something substantial will be done in all the parts, where the English who are my children… who are the Saints of the past, who are born in this country… and will receive this… and settle into it, and not waste your energy in the ego as your forefathers did – they just wasted their life (1980-0809)

The English are very conditioned people (1985-0408), and are very frightened people (1981-0330); England has to make great effort, has to be more open, and giving… because we are in the Heart… and there has to be circulation. Not to be insular (1986-0305); When I say English I mean all the English people, not Wales or anything different (1981-0802); The English, or British, have to realise that these quarrels of Ireland and Scotland… all will finish off, because it is working on wrong grounds… it is not proper. We are all one, not only in this country, but in all the countries… we are all one (1998-0706)

In England, all the seekers are lost by drugs, hippyism… all such nonsense (1998-0510); Comfort is one thing for the English to avoid completely… especially, bathroom addiction is too much in English people I have seen… they are very bathroom conscious. One should just form such habits, that within 10 minutes you should be out from the bathroom (1980-0927)

Groupism is a very bad characteristic, especially of the English… they always form a group wherever they go… and it’s so troublesome sometimes. This kind of false superiority is not going to help us… we must face ourselves. It’s false… so we should never form a group… just mix up with other people… talk to everyone (1989-1203); English… have to learn to love (0.0011); Englishmen are very good husbands no doubt… but… they are like cabbages sometimes… that part I don’t like. One should understand that as a husband you have to get things corrected (1995-0625)

In England, I’ve worked the most. In India, I’ve not worked so hard. And all the efforts I’ve put in, in England… is because England is very important… is the heart… and the heart should not fail. We have to sustain it… we have to humble down. We always say… to humble down in your heart (1984-0214)

Please try to learn the English language, because I cannot learn 14 languages (1987-1219); English language is not a very soft language… it’ a very humorous language, but the humour sometimes cuts you out… that’s the defect of the language (1992-0209); The English language has one very good quality… that they can laugh at themselves… the language has found out ways and methods of how to laugh at yourself… that’s something beautiful about English language (1980-0927)
