Indiscretion

When you fail in discretion, you find… some problems there are (1988-0710); Sometimes people think… ‘oh… we did a lot at that time… now, we can’t do it’… then you have failed; Like I heard that people are saying… ‘now we have come here, so we’ll not go to Guru Puja… it’s wrong… very wrong… you have to come to Guru Puja… no question… Guru Puja is the one Puja you cannot miss… even if you miss Sahastrara Puja… it’s alright… but Guru Puja is very important… at any cost you have to come for Guru Puja. Guru Puja is extremely effective (1988-0710)

There is another way of indiscretion in Sahaja Yoga… is that people start using me. Like supposing somebody is writing a poem… so he’ll come to me and he’ll say ‘please correct my poem’. I’ll correct one poem… two poems… three poems… ten poems… then… he will lose the capacity to produce poems – you should not use me for your own purpose in that manner… but in any case you are using me… but with the understanding that Mother is all the time with me, and is helping me. There’s no need to come forward, and jump on my time… and to take my time… and to bother me… so that I should feel… ‘oh God… when will I get rid of him’. Or others will say…’Mother, you should come to my house… you must take my child… you must meet my husband’… so taking attention to what you call yours, is also indiscretion. Instead of that… ‘you’ put your attention to ‘me’, instead of taking my attention to you… it’s a very delicate line… of discretion… but once you know… you are discreet… you cannot be indiscreet… even if you want to be… and that is what is the ascent path. Some people have a habit of dominating me… like I’m talking, they’ll talk in-between… if I am saying something, they will come forward… then I’ll play tricks… I am good at playing tricks… but I’m very discreet. It’s alright… my discretion plays the tricks… because if I’m direct, you won’t like it… so better be discreet and play tricks (1988-0710)

There’s a method of expressing ‘thank you’, and you go on saying ‘thank you, thank you’… just a lip service… but many people in many countries don’t say ‘thank you’ at all… but they’re very grateful… inside… the ‘grateful’ is inside… it creates a depth that is necessary. So to do it superficially… anything… too much has to be avoided in your discretion. But avoiding extremes… avoiding too much outward expression again can create another indiscretion… like the English… they just don’t speak… it’s artificial (1988-0710)

For Hamsa chakra it’s important not to kiss people… I think kissing must be given up, because in kissing, you do allow the germs of another person… in Sahaja Yoga it’s alright… but that doesn’t mean you go crazy with the kissing. The more you start expressing your love by all these gestures, the less it is, inside (1988-0710)
