Avoid Nature’s Bill And Don’t Worry About Past or Future Rajpur, Morning
Session, November 26, 1970 Prophet
Mohammed once commissioned one doctor to attend to any sick people. The doctor
remained with them for six months long and nobody fell sick. He went to prophet
Mohammed and said, “Well, I've been here six months –there appears to be no
need of me, I had better go.” Mohammed said,
“Look here, I ordered them to eat one morsel less that their appetites. ‘leave
off your food when you’ve still got some hunger, and exercise.’ That is why
there is no need of any doctor.” This is the best prescription you have been
given. Eat a morsel less than you really have appetite for. Leave the tablets
still a little hungry. We eat to our full, you see. If the stomach is so full,
digestion is not all right and this way you go sick and run to see doctors.
There was one doctor in Paris. All doctors ran up to ask him for advice –what
one doctors –natures doctors –no doctor is required: ample sun, air and water.”
So use an abundance of water, abundance of sunlight, and abundance of air,
that’s all. Swami shiv
dayal Singh said: “those who want to do bhajan, they must have only one meal a
day.” the more the stomach is empty –the more you can be concentrated. Bibi hardevi used
to do this. I'm not advising you to do that thing, but I'm telling you what
some people have been doing. They eat less, only that much that can be digest.
If you leave the tablet with little appetite still, then naturally that food
will digest and there will be no derangement in your digestion. Nature does not
spare a little careless, as I told you. I think you are the better judge. These
are very ordinary things, helping factors. Hafiz says,
“You may fast for years –do you mean to say that will give you something?” no
need of fasting. Sometimes a day or two days fasting might clear your system
–that’s another thing. That’s a helping factor. But the best thing is: eat a
morsel less than you need –take leave of the table when you are still hungry a
little. If you eat to your capacity, sometimes, your digestion helps, sometimes
not. Machinery used too much will be
worn out –you see, it wears away. There's a grinding action in the stomach
–machinery like. Anything more? It's all love!
One Power is going into expression: causing all creation –sustain and
maintenance –going out. the other Power is receding pulling you back to your
home, that’s all. It seems to be the Power against Light –the Power of darkness . . . . . where does that come in? There's no
darkness. He's all Light. it is all Gods expression. If you close your eyes you
see darkness. When they're open you don’t see any darkness. What goes into
expression . . . . . . if your thoughts
go out into expression –that is going away from your own self. You have to
withdraw from outside, come into your own self, then you see he is already
waiting for you. These Power,
the going out and pulling back, are expressions for explanation. After all, it
is all the God Power –no other Power was created. Are there two Gods? You would
have to think there are two Gods –one evil and one good. But it is all the
whole creation of God. was Satan born before God? then? Don’t go into these
things –the house is on fire –get out and see who put it and why put it on fire
–that’s all. Go up! Many things will be satisfied –does if appeal to you
intellectually? Are you on the way? If so then go on with it. see for your own
self what is what. Outer guidance is necessary –you may ask for it. As I told last
night the more you come in contact with the sound principle, you will become
the adobe of all virtues. If a tree is to be cut . . . . then it is better to
shear off all the branches first. The ego, the stem. So self introspection
means to cut off the branches. The ego, the stem, will be cut only when you
come in contact with that sound principle or light principle –you'll see that,
he is the doer –I'm not the doer. If you come in
contact, everything will be all right. Spirituality is not so difficult as
people had thought it to be –it is very natural, a simple way –but we have made
it hard to understand, you see. What is it –withdraw from outside –close your
eyes –the seat of the soul is back of the eyes –that’s it: the whole world is
there. From there the
ABC starts. A plane leaves from where? –from the airport –and this is the
airport from where the plane files. And don’t be afraid that you are going to
die. For that little
things have to be observed. The first thing is accuracy. The second is worry.
Don’t worry. Worry kills a man –it puts the whole system out of order. Avoid
these two things; you will have it. the more you will come in contact with the
Light and sound principles, the more you will come in contact with the Light
and sound principles, the more fresh and buoyant you will become: and one –two
in one. Master, if I or if we followed your teachings exactly, how long would it make us to reach the inside? There are no
hard and fast rules for that. The more accurately you live it –you'll have
quicker results. Some men come with background –they start –if they go on like
that –regularly –then they will go on progressing . another man –who has
started here afresh –who has no background but is really on the way . . . . if
both of them go on regularly –that’s all right on the way . . . . . if both of
them go on regularly –that’s all right. But if the one who has got background
–goes by fits and starts, first runs like a hare sometimes, then sleeps
sometimes; the other man who has started afresh and who is regularly, will go
ahead of Him. You follow what I mean?
regularly pays. Even those who have got background and they don’t put in more
regular time then, naturally, the other man will go ahead. So there's no
hard and fast rule for that. You can finish it all in this one birth! The
proper guidance and help is there and you are to live up to that. |
