Abu Dhabi: Bhagavan, we are so happy to
have your first Skype blessing in Abu Dhabi. For six years we are connecting
weekly satsangs through another programme. We seek your grace in all our future
programs Bhagavan.
BHAGAVAN: I'll do that
Abu: Can we ask the questions, Bhagavan?
BHAGAVAN: yes, you could go ahead
Q1: Bhagavan, the first question is: since
concentration is essential during meditation and prayer, what advise can you
give us to improve our concentration while praying and have control over our
thoughts?
BHAGAVAN: in oneness, we do quite the
opposite. We do not try to control our thoughts, because we do not believe
there is a controller in the first place. The controller to us is an illusion that
is we do not exist, there is only the illusion. When the illusion goes away,
you become awakened or enlightened. So, there is no idea of a controller here, all
that we ask you is - please keep watching your thoughts. Strangely, as you
keeping watching your thoughts, they do not disturb you and then natural concentration
arises. Let us say you are focused on some object, because now you are watching your
thoughts, they slow down, and they don't disturb, and you watch it in a very
focused way and then naturally concentration develops.
For us, meditation is a happening,
concentration is a happening. You do not meditate, you do not concentrate. Nothing
wrong with it. That is one way of approaching consciousness of the mind, but
ours is different. We feel that, because we are heavily focused on awakening
and enlightenment, that kind of concentration becomes an obstacle for
awakening. It is good for certain purposes. But it does not help you in
becoming awakened. So we do this kind of awareness whereby you naturally get
concentration and you also become awakened. So you must learn now watch
yourself. Oneness is all about watching yourself, staying with whatever is
there. That is oneness.
Q2. Bhagavan, for those of us who have not
attended the Mala Deeksha (spelling) process, could you please tell us how to invoke the divine presence? After invoking the presence, how do we know the presence has
come in? Once the presence has come in, for how long does it stay?
BHAGAVAN: You have to cast the divine in a
human mould.Suppose you say god is "Oneness" he is "virguna" (spelling?) then there is no
way of relataing to him or invoking the presence. You have to cast him in a
human mold like, Rama, Krishna, or whatever God you want. It's up to you to
cast him in a human mold. just like you are humans; humans can only relate to humans. You cannot relate to the formless or to some light or to some void. Of course it is the form of God, but of course, God can also take a form... so to cast it in a form. What form can you cast him?
Suppose you have an excellent relation with
your father, put him in your fathers mold. Or if mother - mothers mold, or
friend - friends mold. Cast him as a known mold, not just a human mold. What
is your best relationship? In that mold you cast him.
Let's assume you are casting in the father's
mold. Then you must relate to him as you would relate to your father in this
life. That's the kind of relationship you must build. And you must talk a lot.
Now when the antarayamin or the divine or what you call the presence comes in, you have a nice feeling in the chest region, you
will feel very nice. That's the first thing. Secondly, you can talk and you will
get answers either as your own thought or as intuition or as a clear voice. You can
ask questions and you will get answers. You can pray and your prayers will be
answered. That is how you know for sure "Yes, I am in connection with that
divine".
How long will it last? It may last three minutes, half an hour, thirty days or it
may be permanently there also, it depends upon what kind of bond you are having
and what is your program, the program is something that we talk about often, which guides your life... so, it depends upon all that, which can of course be changed. The God realized people are those that have a 24 hour contact, they are
all the time there and ultimately, they even become the Presence. We call that
the Presence, and then you become the presence itself. That is complete oneness.
So that's the journey of course. You can see some of these people probably on
our website, we have a case of a man called Michael Milner, who has become the
Presence, you can see that. So, it's a question of casting the right mold and
then relating.
Once you have the presence. . ? . .then your life is taken care of. You can ask "I want this" and it is given or you can be
told why is it not given and then the divine can also
show you the program. Where you are stuck, maybe change the program or maybe
say "leave it like that". There is always a personal dialogue between you and
the divine. You walk and talk with the divine. It looks difficult but it's not difficult-- thousands have been able to get there. First of all, be clear of what you want, then take a
deeksha, then it's most likely to happen right there. So you can have it there,
right there in Abu Dhabi, right in your home it can happen. So start trying it, we will help you out with it.
Q3. Bhagavan, Even if we do we
sometimes pray with a lot of devotion, clarity and sense of surrender, it takes
a long time to get the prayer answered. And sometimes, it does not get answered
at all. Bhagavan, how long should we leave to the divine to get our prayers
answered? If the prayer does not get answered, is it due to our past karma? How
do we know all this, Bhagavan?
BHAGAVAN: Basically, when you come to our
courses, we remove the blocks which are either creating the problem or not
allowing you to fulfill your desire. Sometimes, that could not be sufficient,
in which case you need alot of good karma to get a nice job, a nice bungalow, a nice
car, and you may not have the required good karma. In which case we, Amma and Bhagavan,
we give you our good karma, we have a huge stock of that, and then we give a little
to you and then your problem gets solved. Now, despite a course, despite Amma
and Bhagavan blessings still the problem can remain, which means there is a problem
with the program. The program comes from past lives, conception in the womb,
delivery... so many things that can happen. What kind of delivery, caesarean, forceps
or whatever it was, so all of these are complicating issues. Now I have spoken
a lot about these things, you can watch it on you tube, I won't repeat it now, but what I will repeat, it is very simple to
get to the problem.
Just relax in your own house, your own bedroom, on your own
bed, usually before you go to bed. Then you go into the hypnogoggic state, which
is in between the waking and the sleeping state. When you get there, relax the
body a little bit extra, ..?.. the beginning techniques of relaxing the body, do
that, and then, invoke Amma and Bhagavan take a direct deeksha from the Sri Murthi.
Tell Amma and Bhagavan
"please, show us where are we stuck?" And like a tape we will play it for you,
we will show you where you are stuck, what happened to you, at what time, how,
when and why this is happening now. If you see it clearly, the problem gets
solved. Sometimes, even if you see, it may not get solved, then you ask "Please
Amma and Bhagavan, set this right" . We will give you a totally new experience. And
when you change the experience, you're life will change here. For example,
like I said, you are trying to start a business. How much your time, still
nothing is happening. Everything is perfect, in which case, maybe when you were
being delivered you had gone back for half an hour or a hour and then you got
delivered.
For such people, things will get enormously delayed here, the bank loans
will be delayed, your orders will get delayed, something will get stuck
somewhere, and something will come around and stop you. In this case, you have
to go inside, take Amma and Bhagavan's help, re-experience your delivery. Now, if
you do that, it will be most likely solved because you have asked Amma and Bhagavan
to give you a fresh experience. In that case, exact delivery will be replayed,
this time not going back but straight going out fast. That happens, then, next day, in 24 hours, the ..?..will be
sanctioned. And so we say, the inner world affects the external world. So these
things you can do by yourselves, all that is required is a good bond with
AmmaBhagavan.
No bond, nothing will happen. If you want some help, we will help
you, a friend will help you, isn't it? Someone in the world will help you? No.
if you want some help, you go to your friend. Same thing with AmmaBhagavan. If we
are your friends, we will help you. They can be your mother, father anything.
But a friendly father, friendly mother. If you cast us into a tough mother, a tough
father, no way. We will just be tough like your parents, nothing will happen to
you. So that friendship must be important. You want to cast us as father and
mother - friendly father, friendly mother. Then help will come to you.
Unfriendly father, unfriendly mother - nothing will come to you. So it's all in
your hands. That's why we say, you create your own god. Not that you are
creating God, but the way God will respond to you - you are creating that. So it's
all in your hands, you should do it. It is not at all difficult. Thousands of
people across the world have done it, so put a little effort and you will get
there. And then your life will dramatically change. We will completely change
your program, change your life. So we can come right into your house in Dubai.
We don't need visas and passports, we can be anywhere and we can do it for you.
So I think the three questions are over?
Abu: yes, Bhagavan.
Now do you people want to become awakened?
Abu-Dhabi: Yes, Bhagavan!
BHAGAVAN: Or you don't want to become
awakened?
Abu: No, Bhagavan, we want to, we want to
BHAGAVAN: You want to awakened, you want to get out of the mind, very good, then I'll be coaching you regularly on the Skype
because you wont be able to come to India, but for the process you will have to
come to India. These classes are to prepare you and when you come to India, I
will do the process and you will become awakened so I want you in particular to
follow on the website something called "The Journey" where you will find three
columns there.
You should come and meet those people on the Skype, I mean on
the website. These are awakened people that will inspire you and give you
confidence, this will also prepare you. You should not think that awakening has
not happened, it has happened to a lot of people all over the world, they have been very shy and withdrawn. They live simple and quiet lives. So we are now
mopping them up and putting them under the website. In India, we have every
week somebody awakened. So awakening is happening it's not a dream. We don't talk
of dreams, we talk of real things. So here is a great opportunity in life for
you because, 2012 is here, otherwise it cannot happen. You should have no disease,
no desires, you should have problems to become awakened, but then today, because of
2012, every person, with problems, with unfulfilled desires, could still become
awakened this is an opportunity of a lifetime. There's a ..?.. from North America who said "we are the people
we have been waiting for" we are those privileged people who can become
awakened so don't let go of this opportunity so I would like you to listen to
what I have spoken there, and that will be homework for you for this month of
February, so when we meet in March I will know how much work you have done or
not and if you are serious I will pick you for the process in India. If you are
not serious, that's fine.
Abu: We are very serious, Bhagavan
BHAGAVAN: if you are not serious, living
your own mediocre life within your mind, you can continue to live your unawakened
mediocre life. That's all. If you want that, that's fine. But if you want to
live, then better work.
Abu: Bhagavan, some of us are very keen to
go for this trainer's course, the training courses here in Abu Dhabi
BHAGAVAN: very good
Abu: Would this be possible in the near
future?
BHAGAVAN: yes, it should be possible, yes.
First we will be initiating those that are conducting satsangs into initiators,
we give them the power to initiate others into deeksha givers. It's done
only for those that are conducting satsangs, not for the others. They will come
and make you into deeksha givers. Deeksha giving is more powerful than
receiving deeksha for the awakening process. That will be done, next stage we train them to be giving
oneness experience level 1 course, then level 2 and level 3 and in 2014, when
they become awakened, they will be declared teachers. For example now, what's
your name?
Abu: My name is Omni Krishni, Bhagavan.
BHAGAVAN: Do you conduct satsang?
Abu: Yes, I am from Aleein (spelling?), I conduct
satsangs there but I come to help the devotees here
BHAGAVAN: you are from which place?
Abu: Allien
BHAGAVAN: So you are the one that is
conducting the satsang?
Abu: yes, Bhagavan
BHAGAVAN; ok, then for example you will be
able to become an initiator and then a trainer 1, 2, 3 a Oneness Trainer, then by 2014 and you will be awakened and called Omni Krishna the
teacher. That's all. You will be able to stand on your own.
Abu: thank you Bhagavan.
BHAGAVAN: Only for those who are
conducting satsangs. The others, of course you won't be trained like that. You can become awakened. ..?..That is for everybody. But teachers - only those who have been
conducting satsang because they are contributing to society. That's how it would be. But for you, there can be an awakening
but you must be serious.You must realize you are leading a mediocre life from morning till
night with a mechanical, meaningless life that is going on, but you must do it of course. It's perfectly okay. I will
help you with this also. But this is not living, its merely existing. You have to come out of the framework called the mind. That's where you truly live and know what life is. So
if you want that, contemplate on what I have just spoken and then prepare
yourself for March and then when you are ready, you can come to India for the
process, we will verify you and then you will become awakened. So now we can
meditate now.
Abu: Bhagavan, over 40 devotees who have
completed the MalaDeeksha Mala ritual last Friday. We need your blessings so we can grow
materially and spiritually, BHAGAVAN.
BHAGAVAN: yes, my blessings to you all. My
first focus is the world. All material things is what I will be focusing on:
your money, your jobs, your profession, your family, that may be the first
focus. The second focus is - awakening. First this then that.
