Within the Atom: Light and Sound Evening
darshan, Rajpur, September 23, 1970 Do scientists
find it difficult to become initiates? No, no. When I
first went to America a scientist came up –he gave long talks, followed by long
discussions –it took Him over five hours. Then I questioned him –I had heard
all that he said –I asked him, “You have been able to create energy, but have
you been able to create an ounce of consciousness?” “He said, “no.”
he was right. Then I told
him, “Well look here, two halves of a loaf can make one whole loaf; can a
hundred fools together make one wise man?” He said, “no.” In the field o
energy you have made so many inventions but nothing in the way of
consciousness.” Then I further questioned him, “Have you analyzed matter? What
did you find?” There were
elements, he replied. Then I asked
him, “Have you analyzed the element?” “Yes.” “What did you
find?” He said, “We
found atoms.” Then I further
questioned him, “Have you been able to analyze an atom?” “Yes.” “What did you
find?” He said, “One
circle was revolving, something going in a very fast way, round and round.” “What did you
find there?” “Some sound.” You see? Now
they have found light too. Then he came round, you see. The people who were
attend this discussions said he would never turn up the next day for
initiation. He was the first man to turn up, and he got the highest experience.
Then he invited mo to his scientific association. I had to give talk. These
things commonly appeal to them, you see. In the field of energy there's
wonderful progress. Atom bombs, but all for the destruction of man. Railway
engines run at a very fast speed but they have no consciousness; they are
directed by some conscious man. There’s no consciousness in trains. Airplanes
have no consciousness; they are guided by some conscious man. They can dash
against anything; they go where directed. Have you read
the mystery of death? Yes. How did you
like it? Very much,
except I did not think I could pass it on to certain people –it would scare
them too much. I think there
is no imposition –common sense talk, some spoken by others; quite practical. How could we
make ourselves more humble? More humble? I
think there's a very easy answer. You tell us, please. By going out
and sorting grain and carrying rock on your head? [The Master
laughs] this is one of the things. Of course, that will give you some humility,
not everything. Real humility comes up of itself when you see a grader work
working. By becoming a conscious co worker of the divine plan, you become
conscious of a very grand Power working, and that you are a mere puppet in his
hands. The means to that ends is coming
in contact with the Light and sound principle. Humility is the ornament of a
real Saint. That requires no acting or posing. People act and pose. They are
humble, they are this are this and that, but at heart of hearts they feel, “Oh,
I know so much.” You see? Real humility will only arise when we see some higher
Power working, and we know we are a mere puppet in his hands. I issued one
circular on humility will only arise when we see some higher Power working, and
we know we are humble but at heart of hearts they feel, “There is nobody like
me.” by sitting gat the feet of a Master, you come in contact, the more you will
be filled with that Light. [Master is
counting the days left for a disciple stay in India.] Seven days. May the days
and nights be prolonged? There was one Mohammedan king in India who was
enjoying the company of his Master. He said, “people, just put iron chains on
the feet of night so that the night would not pass. There should be no
disturbance of this enjoyment. Let the enjoyment be prolonged.” Yes, how did
you find today? It was hard
meditating. You come along
with me tomorrow. I won't leave you. [All chuckle.] It means you don’t sit
accurately, that’s all. I don’t. You should! If
you don’ through, you should. Why do you waste your money by coming here? How
much time did put in so far? About a half
hour or so. And what were
you doing the rest of the time? I was reading
some of Master's books. And what do the
Master's books say? They all say to
meditate. Pall chuckle.] Then why don’t
you meditate? My mind. Is mind your
servant or are you servant the servant of mind? Would you like somebody who
lives in your house to drag you here, there, everywhere by the nose, the neck,
and the ears? If not . . . . . you are the Master of this body. It is on
account of your this body is working. Would you like for body. It is on account
of you this body are working. Would you like for mind to come drag you here,
there? It is not honorable, mind you. [There is a long period of silence.] The very
silence sprouts forth into Light and music of the spheres. Silence is golden.
So, all is nirvana now, is it not? All is nirvana now. Well, I think
this is the closest we are to nirvana for a while. Yes, be
thankful. If you go into the silence for a while, then I think that will result
in progress. To go into the silence of the heart, maybe for a while, well that
means progress. |
