1996 0303 Develop Thoughtless awareness

Original file: ______________________ Now the first step is to become thoughtlessly aware, where you cross your mind, you go above your mind. Mind cannot affect you, this is the first stage, as we call, is thoughtless awareness. Second one is where you start seeing the working of this Paramchaitanya, of this All-pervading Power and you start becoming aware that there is lot of truth in what Mataji says [Shri Mataji smiles]. That there is this Power that works out many things. It works miraculously so many things for you. It gives you blessings, It guides you, It helps you in so many ways It helps you. It gives you good health, good wealth, and also a very good society of very beautiful people in the collective. All that you can see clearly is happening here. Now this happening of achieving thoughtless awareness is very simple and easy, but to maintain at that point is difficult, we still react and we think. Anything you see, you react. To get to that point in thoughtless awareness is first to change your attention. [...] Story of the elephants’s tails So what happens that, when you are putting your attention so much to outside all the time, then you must first of all also divert your attention. For example, you see these beautifully made things here. Your attention is something else – just try to enjoy the beauty of that. See, there are beautiful carpets here, just look at them without thinking, because they don’t belong to you, so no headache, they belong to somebody else, is very good! Otherwise, if it belongs to you, you start thinking ; “Oh, My God, I have spread them here, what will happen, they have to be insured!” Or some sort of a thing like that. That’s common human reaction. But if it doesn’t belong to you, you can watch it nicely. Now you watch it and don’t think. You’ll be amazed, when you see the beauty that is put inside this, you’ll see the artist who has put his joy, his exuberance into it, and you’ll be amazed, after Realization, that, this exuberance will fill into you and a cool kind of a relaxation will come into you, and this Kundalini will rise, and you’ll become steady in your thoughtless awareness. So whenever you look at anything, look at any beautiful thing, even say, today’s election, just watch the man who is elected. Watching him itself, gives him blessings, gives him better ideas. You get also ideas, which are coming from reality, which are there : how to make this man a successful person, or this country a successful democracy. All these things happen when your attention is diverted from criticising, from reacting. Just you watch, become the witness, try to witness everything. It’s not so very yet practised. So far, I’ve seen, that whenever even we get our- achieve our Realization, we don’t realize that we have to witness everything. When you start witnessing through your Spirit, then you don’t see the bad points of another, but you see the good points. You just pick up the person with very good points. So once you see that the witness state enlarges, and you start enjoying another person, you start enjoying every thing that is there, even a small blade of grass you can enjoy, if you have that capacity. In Japan, Zen system started on these lines. And he made, Viditama was the person who started it, he made a garden out of moss, different moss, and very small. Then there were little, little flowers also. And hardly about five feet of the garden, which looks like a shape of a question mark you can say. You have to go on a lift, and you reach that platform on top of a hill, or a mountain, where you see this. All little, little mosses are there, and you see, differently arranged, a beautiful garden. When you start seeing it, your thought stops, because such a marvellous thing, when you put attention to it, to its creation, your thoughts stop. So you must practise as to find out what stops your thoughts, what makes you the witness. Once you develop this habit, you will station yourself nicely in the thoughtless awareness. Then you start watching how Sahaja Yoga has helped you, how it has been blissful, what you have achieved through Sahaja Yoga. You will be amazed, if you just start watching it, everywhere you’ll be amazed how this Paramchaitanya acts. Nowadays, this Paramchaitanya has become active because of Krita Yuga. You can see from the way it is playing around, with vibrations around Me. You’ve seen so many photographs of mine where these vibrations are there. Also you’ve seen the photographs of many Sahaja Yogis seating before Me, on their heads My name is written down in Arabic language. You’ve seen so many ways by which you can find out that there is the play of the Divine. Now the mind will still try to say something: don’t listen, just watch. The effect of Sahaja Yoga you should watch on yourself, on your all body. Don’t think about it but watch it, and you’ll be amazed how you have changed.
