THE
FOLLOWING AM EXCERPTS FROM TALKS GIVEN BY
THE MASTER IN INDIA. (14th
September, 1967) - Delhi, India "Be looking at yourself, not others. Ask yourself where you are. Just having a
perfect Master is not enough. You must have love and devotion and faith. You must put in time and keep
diary. Don't be criticizing others. Don't be showing off and talking. Do your
job. Don't think about others. Don't think about the past. Just begin today. If
everyone here began today, in two or three months he would be changed. Don't
get involved with others. Keep your mind on the Master. Don't let your mind be
all over. When you see or hear the Master, you get charging. Don't disperse
this by talking, etc. Do your meditation." (15th
September, Delhi, India; Morning in the Shed). "Thieves do their work at night; we should also use the night. Be
very accurate in your meditations. People come to me and say they are not
making progress, but they are not
really giving everything. Fix the gaze in the middle. Have no worldly thoughts.
You must give your attachments and ego. You have only an inch to go to the seat of the soul at
the back of the eyes and still you have so much trouble. Those who have seen
the Master only once in all loving
devotion, they are greatly blessed. Love the Master and nothing else. If
your attachments are with the Master you will not come back. Take notes and act
on what the Master says. If you put yourself completely in the hands of God,
surely He will take care of you. One man went to the jungle for 12 years and
hung himself upside down in a well by iron chains. A farmer came by and asked
'What are you doing?' 'Waiting
for God.' The farmer said, 'Oh, this is what one must do to find God,' and he quickly ran to make a rope out of grass.
Although the rope was so weak he hung himself in a nearby well. In ten minutes
the farmer asked of the other,
'Has your God come yet?' 'No.' 'Oh', said the farmer, 'Mine has.' 'What' said the other, 'how can this be after only
ten minutes?' 'I have been here twelve years.'
The farmer had no iron chains but put his faith completely in God, once
he knew the way to God, not caring for his life. Kabir
says, "whoever has found God has done so by crying the whole night. When
you sit for meditation, you should just have tears in your eyes of devotion and longing. Always have such a remembrance
of God." Answer
to a question regarding the accuracy of prophets such as Edgar Cayce: "Please do not bother about prophecies as these are more
apprehensions caused by certain brains out of their sophistication. The destiny
of child humanity is being controlled by the gracious Master Power. The dear
ones accepted and put on the way back to God by virtue of their Holy initiation
into the mysteries of the Beyond, need not have any fears in this behalf. All
feasible gracious protection will
be extended to them in case of any eventualities whatsoever. You may convey
this piece of right understanding to those who seek your counsel in this
behalf." |
