Culminating Human Crisis and Media

watch?v=BkYYbFE42Qo&feature=related

Starting with July, 2010, up to the end of 2012, humanity is going to pass through a great crisis in all spheres of human existence and activity. It is important for people as a whole to be in the right frame of mind to successfully pass through these very difficult years. The media is surrounding us like second skin. Continually reshaping our collective viewpoints, personal boundaries and moral structures. The media should emerge as a force of positive change. It must be positive and truthful, as well as promote compassion and patiance. It also must stand by higher values. It should instill great hope for a wonderful future. If the media would transmit a different message, from what it is currently doing, it would have played a great role in saving and in transforming the people of the nex few years. If, on the other hand, it continues to function the way it is currently functioning, the media must take responsibility for making the lifes of millions of people helpless and miserable. And in fact, be the cause of their destruction. In which case it is for the people to protect themselves from the media.

Bhagavan, Does lust exist for an enlightened person?

See, enlightened people can also have children like unenlightened people. If an enlightened person has got lust, we can talk about biological lust. The normal people's lust can be called psychological lust. It is more animal-like for the enlightened person. It's just part of the body, that's all. Now, the unenlightened person can sit alone and be thinking about lust. The enlightened man can not do that. Because the mind can not come up with supporting pictures. So there is no mental lust or psychological lust. But, let us say, there is a woman, understand. There can be physical lust. And of course he is not going to violate any law. He might have a relationship there if she happens to be his wife, and do produce children. But this biological lust is very-very little. And it can be a very good solution to population problems also. So, it is there, but then let us say there is a person, an enlightened person, and then there is a woman going there, and there is physical lust. After she moves away from the range of vision, it's gone. He can not think about it. So lust came, lust went. That's all. It will not cause a problem. But the unenlightened one will be thinking about it. He'll go after her, chasing her. Otherwise he was a whatever it is. That does not happen for the enlightened person.

The Importance of the Heart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgpB9AtYrxg

To me the only reality is the heart. What the heart says, that alone is truth. The heart might say, help him, then it's perfect action. The heart might say, do not help him, and if don't help him, that is perfect action. Why the heart said in this case do it, or why the heart says don't do it, you have no idea to understand. That is guidance coming from cosmic consciousness. From God himself. So one can't understand why God says this and God says that, so listening to your heart means listening to God.

To me the part must obey the whole, and you are the part. Until of course you have become God. You realized God, and that you become one with God. So the whole manifests itself to the heart and you have to obey the whole. That is God, or your heart. The heart says do this, do this. If it says don't do...whatever it says, you should not do. That is obeying the heart.

Human beings today do not obey the whole. They do not follow their heart. They only follow their mind. That is why the world is in a mess. If people become enlightened, that is their heart will be flowered. When you simply follow your heart, which is following the divine will. If everybody follows the divine will, there will be no problem on earth.

The Phases of Life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x64ngHSS5uA

You are here basically to enjoy yourselves. Why should the Universe exist at all? Have you not seen Natfalis dance? He is merely dancing isn't it? It is a dance of creation. He is simply celebrating life.

So each one has to find out how to celebrate this life. What comes your way, accept it and enjoy it. You have to create what you wa...nt.

Life could be divided into 4 phases.

First you are expected to acquire knowledge and maintain your body healthy and strong. In this phase of life, you must focus on education, acquiring skills and preparing of the future.

Second phase, you must acquire wealth, get married, have children, perform your responsibilities towards your family, enjoy the world and fulfill your desires.

Third phase, if you are really fulfilled in your life, cravings would have ceased. You could be with your family, but should feel detached from your family. You must serve the world. You must be concerned about people, but nothing personal should be there.

Last phase, you should not be attached to the world. This is the phase you seek liberation. You cannot just continue in the first phase of life because it will soon become meaningless. Therefore you must move on to the second phase and embrace its pleasures and pains. This too will soon lose meaning and therefore you move on to the third phase of serving the people. This too will ultimately stop giving satisfaction. It is then that you move on to liberation. Hopefully if you are awakened, the same mountains, the same stars you saw earlier will look very different. You could enjoy the world and simply pass away from this world. This is the game of life.

But on the other hand, you are taking it very seriously. There must be liberation from work. It does not mean not doing work. You don't see it as work anymore. You see it as play.

You must see everything as a game, you must know everything is a passing phase, everything will come to an end soon because there is nothing permanent.

Order will move into disorder, disorder will move into order. Weak man may become strong, strong man could become weak. Intelligent people may become unintelligent, unintelligent may become intelligent. Love could become hate, hate will become love.

This is the law of the Universe. You cannot stop these things. You have to accept them. If you accept them, you will start enjoying life.

You will be playing with it. That is living.

Everything ultimately is like the onion, if you go on peeling the onion, you'll find there is nothing in the end. Similarly, if you go on peeling life's experiences, consciousness, God, or anything, in the end, you would feel there is nothing but silence. Life is a mystery to be lived, not ready to be solved or understood. That is all there is to it. All things emerge in that silence, and return to that silence. You too will eventually emerge into that silence, from which you emerged in the first instance.

What makes you and Amma happy?

The process when somebody's heart flowers gives me great joy. Or when they develop a fundamental insight it gives me great joy. But what gives me tremendous joy is when relationship between parents and children are set right. Because when that happens to me it's an assurance, a guarantee, that that family is going to become enlightened. That is the key. It's a very challenging thing. If that is set right everything would fall into place, their financial problems will get resolved, their health problems'll get resolved. So it's a solution to their problems, plus, whenever every family, any single family makes it, the effect will be on a 100,000 people. So much benefit occurs to mankind. We could prevent drought, we could prevent floods, we could prevent war, you could do so much if family's as a whole could make it. That is why whenever relationship is set right...because one strange thing is, when a relationship is set right, the heart sends different signals to the brain. The brain is like a transmitting station, it transmit certain messages, certain thoughts, certain feelings into the thoughts sphere from which we absorb it back. So a 100,000 people will be affected if a family is set right, which means we are affecting global consciousness. To me the whole globus is like a family, so when something happens everybody's going to be benefited, it gives tremendous joy. That's why I'm so focused on the family.

Relationship with Parents

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DXlOZOHUCM&feature=related

The setting right of relationships with your parents is a way of most importance. That gets priority. So technically what happens is, all relationships reflect your relationship with your parents. So we reflect exactly what does happen between you and your parents. The relationships you have with your family and friends, and at the places of work, all that again depends on this relationship with your parents. So once this is set right everything falls into place. And life is relationship. So what happens is life also reflects these relationships. That is why if you have a terrible relationship with your father, you're most likely to have financial problems, because life would reflect that. If it's a very bad relationship with your mother, then you'll have needless obstacles. That is how life would reflect it. Because life is relationship. How this actually happens is, when these relationships are set right, something happens to the heart, the heart in turn is connected to the brain, from the brain some signals are sent out. Let's say somebody has to give you money, and he's not giving that money to you...now once you've set right relationship, your heart sends a signal to the brain. The brain is an instrument, it transmits energies. He will pick up these energies, he would have a change of heart, and he would give back the money to you. So the technical aspects are not so important. But empirically you can verify it. You do this, you'll get that. Try it and see. Anybody who is having a terrible financial problem, set right your relationship with your father, and you'll see, there is an immediate improvement. And you're having needless obstacles, set right your relationship with your mother, and you'll see immediate improvement. This can be experimentally verified. All that we are talking can actually be verified at the ground level.
