The Master's Message of Love December 21,
1970 (Recorded in Dehra Dun, on the occasion of an American disciple’s departure for home.) convey my love
to each one of them. My only message is :that we are all laborers in the same
field. The harvest is rich, laborers are wanted. There is no otherness, but the
negative Power intervenes and tries to spoil the whole show. If we all work
as laborers in the filled with equal rights, you see. To be guided by some
labor who is a little bit ahead of you, if I may say so. Me only message is to
love Him. If one man can do so, let others do so; both should put shoulders to
the wheel. “my shoulder is better than the other shoulders is wrong. Moreover, if
any good goes out of us, we should not be aware of it, because it is his grace
that is working. We are mere pipes. Some forty
years ago, our Master went to Lahore where I was conducting satsang (there was
a big gathering there, sometimes five to ten thousands people.) once he gave
initiation to so many. Then he told me, “Look here, I have planted the
saplings; you give water –water them.” I told Him, “Master, whatever water you
will send, that will be given.” You see, we are
mere pipes. So pipes remain cold as long as the water is running through them
–if no water, then? So this is the true position. If any good goes out of us,
that is his grace. We should never dream if any good goes of us that is his
grace. We should never dream that we are doing of us, that are his grace. We
should never dream that we are doing. If we are doing, then the whole thing is
retorted. And if water in a small pound is drain out, then what will remain?
–all mud. This is one lesson we have to learn, you see. If that is learned,
then there is peace. I am digging;
you also dig; we all go on digging; then the work will be finished in no time.
so there should be no otherness, I tell you. And this is the last shortcoming
that even the so called Saints have got. Sometimes group leaders think they are
bosses. They should realize they are the means. That is why I told you: all are
spiritually connected with me. they are there to conduct, to arrange, to help
you; to bring together for other facilities; sometimes they can help by words
of solace. And that’s all. So love God,
that’s all. Have respect for others. And those who are co worker: put shoulders
to the wheel –both together. If you drag a wagon and you have ten men to drag
it, dragging it becomes easier, does it not? So this is the only message that I
have to give you. But I have pity
because all are not Saint. They have to be persuated. My way is persuasion; to
bring them to know what is what, to stand on their own legs. I see all of
you can become ambassadors. Very humble –simply live up to it. live up to them,
that’s all. God made men
with all equal privileges; no higher or low. Simply live up to it. live up to
them, that’s all. So convey my
love each one of them. These very words –you can repeat them. I have got
appreciation for all. Those who are group leaders and representatives and others
also who are there. They are all on the way; so help each other. You have to
help the Master's work, not his personal work. The best way to
serve is to do meditation; progress in the inner way. Then everything will come
up. My wishes are
with each one of them . . . . they are
the shareholders of the father’s belongings. So you are all dear to me. Father
has love for all, and he has keys to the room; so it is quite worth living up
to the Master. So it is not a
matter of show to others. It is to be sincere to ones own self. God is within
you, Master is within you –if you are true to Him,. Then? So that is why I
always say, “be true to your own self.” The God in you is more near than the
God in the Master, I tell you. He is one. So many vibration is going on there.
We simply have to invert –withdraw from outside. [Master gives everyone his loving glance.] there is the
love of the parents, you see –the love of the Master is hundreds and thousands
of parents together. So love cannot be expressed in words. Rest assured
you is dear to me –that’s all I can say, you see. Now your part is just: live
up to what I say. [tears well up on the eyes of the Master
and of many of the dear ones present. The Master gives the departing disciple a
present for his wife, and address the text few words to him:] now I wish you to be one in two and two
in one, from this day onward. So convey my love to her. I wish you both to be
one in two and two in one. In very few words:
God has united you and it is your first duty to help each other to know
God; both should put their shoulders to the wheel to reach God. That’s
companionship –true companionship. And God has send her a report , her self
introspection diary? –yes –convey my love to her and accept the same for
yourself. Sometimes tears
roll down from the eyes; that are the loving tears for all. You don’t know how
much love I have for you. Perhaps if you knew, you would be dancing all around. So, convey my
love to each one of them. They are near to me –not away. I wish all of you to
be progressing on the way. We should be
all honest truthful, chaste, so that if any man comes: “Oh He's going to such
and such a Saint, he can't tell lie.” We should prove worthy of our connection
with the satsang. This is outer; the inner you have got, fortunately. So what I have
mentioned, don’t forget, that’s all. If any good is going out of us, it is the
grace of the Master. All our
difference should be sunk down, you see, in the waves of love –surging. Any
question? You understand what I have said already? you follow? I am not a
speaker or lecture, that’s the pity. Otherwise I would be bombarding you with
words . . . . . heart to heart talks. . . . . . God bless you. |
