Broadcast with Sri Bhagavn to Biella, Italy December 13, 2009
On the occasion of initiating 70 Blessing Givers

Video:

*The video starts in the middle of Bhagavan's answer*: When blessing givers move into higher states of consciousness, you will be affecting human consciousness. So, you want to translate now?

Italian translator: We'll try.. I'll try...

Bhagavan: Or you want me to repeat it slowly?

Italian translator: Please, please... short sentences, please, otherwise I get lost.

Bhagavan: I forgot I'm speaking to an Italian audience. I will now slow down.

Italian translator: Thank you!

Q1: Bhagavan, can you tell the Receivers, that today will become Blessing Givers, what your vision is? What is their role and their mission in your vision?

A1: Bhagavan: So, you will be becoming powerful blessing givers from today. Your function until 2011 is to help people with their problems. Now how do you go about it? You must learn to listen to the other person. Listening is different from hearing. Hearing is you hear the words and the sounds. Listening means listening to what is happening to you. When somebody comes and says "Well, I have no money!" then what happens to you in your inside, you must listen to that.

Then after that, you start the blessing process by placing your hands on the blessing giver and you must have to connect to the Divine in whatever form you perceive that Divine and pray, ask, demand or fight, whatever is your relationship with the Divine, do any of these things and ask the Divine to help the other person. As you see the blessings work, you will grow in confidence and in faith. As you grow in confidence and faith, you must also develop the art of talking to the Divine whenever and wherever possible. If you were to come to the point where you walk and talk with the Divine, you'll see the blessings take another leap. You can virtually perform miracles. That is the answer for the first question.

About the vision. After 2012, that is in the beginning of 2012, you will start focusing on giving blessings to each other. The blessing givers must form groups and start giving blessings to each other in 2012. In 2012, Amma and Bhagavan will also be joining you and be giving you blessings and we'll also be meditating with you and you will be the first ones, the blessing givers, to move into higher states of consciousness.

After the blessing givers move into higher states of consciousness, very soon the general population would also start moving into higher levels of consciousness. You must be clearly focused on this vision and mission.

We now move on to the second question.

Italian translator: OK, thank you Bhagavan. The second question, actually, is more or less the same. I mean, you've already answered.

Bhagavan: Oh yes.

Italian translator: The third question is, Bhagavan, what sadhana do you suggest for the new blessing givers?

Bhagavan: Yes, as trainers you have to train them in this art of inner integrity. It's an eight step program, which you must teach them. If you do not have it with you, we will communicate it to you. You must start training them in that and they must start this inward journey. The more inward they go, the more powerful the blessings will become and they'll be able to walk and talk with the Divine as I said earlier. So, you have to guide them on the path of inner integrity. That should be the sadhana that they do.

I think the three questions are over. So what is next?

Italian translator: There's still one more question Bhagavan.

Bhagavan: Yes, yes.

Italian translator: Do you have other suggestions in teachings for them?

Bhagavan: Yes, as I was telling earlier in some other Skype. We would like you to progress in a direction, if that is OK with your conditioning, that you're going to ultimately realize, that the deeksha or the blessing comes from your own Higher Self, which is the Divine. And that the problem is you feel alienated from the Divine. And we should grow up to a point where we realize that we are that Higher Self. That we are the Divine. To put it in simple language: we are God ourselves. If your conditioning does not prevent you from such a perception, then you could start moving very, very fast.

In oneness, whatever is there is only God. There's nothing but God only. So I am God, you are God, blessing givers are God, everybody is God. I do not have the illusion of separation, while you have the illusion of separation. Oneness is all about tearing down this illusion. So when you do give a blessing, what is most important to realize is, the one who is in front of you is God who is having a problem. It's God who is suffering from this illusion that he is separate from God and he is having a problem. You're helping God. God is helping through God, that is yourself who has not yet realized that you're God, and to somebody who's also God, but who's suffering. If you can see things like this, then the blessing becomes very, very powerful. Initially, you can start as an intellectual concept, you can start the whole thing as an intellectual concept, slowly you'll begin to get insights, at some point you begin to realize that it is indeed so. The one who's giving is God, the one who's receiving is God, the act of giving also is God. Everything is only God. This will become a reality in your lives, if you have it as a vision, you'll soon realize you're moving very fast in that direction.

You should not think you are helping some poor, suffering man. You must think you are helping some poor, suffering GOD.

That is the answer for that question. What next?

Italian translator: Thank you very much Bhagavan. Bhagavan, can you tell us more about listening please? Feeling the other person?

Bhagavan: Yes, more about listening. Usually when people talk, you receive it from your conditioning, all that knowledge which you have got, all that prejudice which you have got. All that comes in and it disrupts your actual listening to the person. Now you must put aside all those things, and with a clean mind, with an awakened mind, with an open mind, you must start listening to the other person. This is one kind of listening. Now, I'm not talking about that. It also can be used, but then I am talking about another kind of listening.

That is, as you listen to another person, something will happen inside you. You must listen to that. If somebody is coming and telling you their problem, as you listen to their problem, it could be some sad thing which has happened in their lives, something will happen inside you, there will be a resonance. You must listen to that. If you listen to that, your heart will tell you "hold that other person's hand" or "touch their head" or "wipe their tear" It will come from inside and if you do that, that will be the most appropriate action. Just holding of the hand without speaking a word, just touching the tear, wiping it out, or just putting your hand on their head. It will instantly solve their problem. IF you have listened to what happened to you when they were talking.

Strong blessings to you trainers, both of you. May you produce powerful blessing givers. I give a strong blessing, that you keep producing powerful blessing givers

Italian translator: Thank you very much.

Bhagavan. So now shall we move on to the three minute meditation?

Italian translator: Thank you. Thank you very much indeed, Bhagavan. We love you. Thank you.

*Meditation*

Shanti, shanti, shanti..

Bhagavan: Love you all. Love you. See you soon.

Italian translator: Thank you!

Bhagavan: Namaste!
