    Q:Babuji,

    let

    us

    know

    whether

    you

    attrtacted

    Lalaji

    or

    Lalaji

    attracted

    you.

    A:Ofcoursea littleaboutmy life. Iwasalways fondofPujaandworship.Iwassixyearsold,Mymotherusedtoworship.IsaidthatIwillalsodoit.Sostarteddoingpujawithwaterandbilva leavestoShiva.Mymotherusedtoapplysandalpaste.Thiscontinued for5or6timesandthenIstopped.Myheartrefusedtoworship.Attheageof9thesearchforGodbeganinme.Myoldaunt,shewasawidowandaged60or70yearsandusedtogotoalltheswamijis and she took me there. Of course he may be a good saint.Sometimeshemustbeaverygoodsaint.Twiceorthrice Ididthis.Then I

    saidto

    myself

    "Suppose

    Iam

    wrong

    in

    my

    statement.

    If

    aman

    is

    not

    perfect

    and If I call him perfect, I may bewrong". So I stopped going to them.Afterwards I asked a preist as to what I should do. As advised startedpractisingGayathriJapa.

    MyheartwastellingmethatthiswasnotPoojaandWorshipatall.Ithoughtthattheremustbesomemethod.Iwillnotgotoanyhbodyforthismatter.IfatallIgotoanybody,hewillbemyMaster.Istoppeddoingeverythingandprayed,GodtogivemeaMaster,aMasterwhoissecondtonone.Andafter

    12years

    Igot

    the

    Master.

    Till

    that

    time

    Idid

    Gayathri

    Japa

    and

    Pranayama

    andevenrecommendedthemtomyfriends.Iusedtoenjoythem.

    Attheageof14,IhadanintutitonthatIwilldefinitelygetatrueSageasmyMaster.OnceortwiceIhadthevisionofmyMaster,whenIfirstmetHim,Irecogniged him as the Master for whom I was searching. There wassomething inmewhichconveyed this feeling andso immediately I feltatHis feetMyMasteralsorecognizedmeandwasveryhappytoreceiveme .Hesaid"Ibegantothinkwhowillbemysuccessor.Yourformcamein.THat

    is

    an

    indication

    thatyou

    will

    be

    my

    successor.

    SO

    I

    started

    mywork

    of

    transmitting intoyou for the last3or4years.Now Icouldunderstand. Itwas not theJapa or Pranayama thatwas doing me good. Itwas Hiswork.Before meeting my Master, Iwas having transmission. Thatwas my case

    whenIwenttoHim.Hehadbeeninnercommuningwithme.

    I used to get transmission continusouly for 3 days in aweek. Therewas avery forcefultransmissionalso.Icouldnotbear itattimes.MyMasterwasalwaysthere. WhatevertransmissionIcouldabsorbhewouldgiveandthe

    resthewouldhold itbackandwouldgive ittomewhen Ihavedevelopedthatcapacity.

    Oncemy

    hand

    was

    shown

    to

    a

    palmist.He

    read

    the

    rekhas

    and

    said

    that

    there is evidence of spirituality andjsut I am capable of making use ofintutioonfrompastlivesandnobodycancompetewithme.

    Iwantedtolearnastrology. Ididnotbeginit. Andmyrelationsweretheretoteachme. Then Ithoughtsuppose Iseeahoroscope. Iwillseeandtell

    you. If Itakethehelpofthehoroscopeintutionwillnotbethere. AndifIuse the horoscope it would not be correct. And so I left. There wassomethingintheheartwhichwastryingtogoadmemetototheRealState.

    Iusedto meditateforonly2 to3minutes. oratthemost3minutes.Butallthe time Iwasdrowned in the thoughtof theMaster. When the Masteraskedmetositandmeditate foronehour Idid it.But itwasboringand I

    was never away from His thought. I used to write my diary about thespiritualpracticesandshoedittotheMaster. ApartfromHiscomments,he

    wouldaskme tocommentonmyowndiaries. Iwassoverysensitive thatwhateverI usedtocommentonmyowncondition,outofmyowndiary.MyMaster usedtoappreciateandsaythatitisthecorrectinterpretation..Iam

    tired

    of

    my

    sensitiveness.

    His

    observation

    was

    "Ram

    Chander

    writes

    such

    experienceswhichnoneof hisotherassociatesgivemeanopportunity toreadsuchthings". Forspeedyprogress restlessnesmustbethere.Cravingmustbethere.Thisisthechiefthing.

    atleast

    25

    days

    I

    will

    be

    getting

    the

    guidance.

    So I cannot movewithout Him. I cannot livewithout the Master. But Hecannotdisplaywithoutme. Boththingsarethere.Suchwordsareusedfor'Master'.

    Q: In the history of humanity, I suppose this is the first instance, Babuji,where a disciple cannot livewithout the Master and the Master cannot

    displaywithout

    the

    disciple

    ?Are

    there

    any

    parallel

    instances,

    Babuji

    ?

    REALISATION

    1.WeattempttorealiseGod.Whywedonotsucceed?

    Ans:Ifyouwantyoufollowit.Stilltheideaistherethatyouwillnotbeableto realiseandosmanyJanmas andetc., That is aweak idea, becauseyour

    thinkingis

    divided

    now.

    But

    realisation

    demands

    of

    an

    undivided

    devotion.

    2. "Sthitaprajna" is condition of balanced state, with a characteristic ofsubtledknowledge.

    3.IfamanreachesuptoParabrahmandalMandal,heissaidtobearealisedsoulinIslam.Butinmyopinion,hehasgotonlyafewgrainsofspirituality.MyideaofRealisationisveryHigh.NothingbutabsorbancyinGod.And if

    youcanfindsuchpersons,youwillfindinmysystemonly.

    4. Some state of a gap in thinking during meditation for a few seconds.Pleaseexplain?

    Ans:ThatisastateofSahajAvastha. Itisnatural.Iamtellingyouwhatevercomesduringmeditationwhetheryou like itornot,whether it isgoodorbad,thatisallgoodforyou.

    5. Ihavenotreadmuch.Whenever I want toreadanything, I turn tothepage of my heart. My heart is the book and what is written there ?"Ignorance".ThatisonlywordIwasthought.

    7.WaysofgoingtoGod?

    Ans:

    Swami

    Vivekananda

    writes

    about

    "Aparabhakti

    and

    Parabhakti".Aparabhaktiispreparation.Butitisnottheonlywayofpreparation. There

    are other ways also. More enlightened. That which is simple is theenlightenedpath.IthasatingeofDivinity.BeassimpleasHeis.SahajMargaNaturalPathofGodRealisation.

    8.Whatarethesymptoms ofRealisation?

    A.A far of thing. Whenwe go to the Central Region,we cross the sevenringsofsplendour. Whataretheconditions?Expansionbegins.AsKrishnasaid

    it

    is

    Virat.

    Even

    that

    also

    falls

    short

    of

    the

    Reality.

    That

    is

    my

    discovery.

    After the said seven rings, the expansion begins. The idea that we arethroughout the Universe. Afterwards opens the Divine Wisdom. AndafterwardstheFullVisionoftheAbsolute.,ofcourse asmuchaspossibleforhumanbeings.Limitationsarethere.NOwafterthatcomestheLayawastha.

    Whenyoureachthatstage,MayGod blessyou,theneverythingisoverandSwimming starts. Afterwsards there is no stage. Everything is pure andsimple.Swimminggoesonandonandonandon.

    9.

    My

    point

    of

    Realisation

    isvery

    far.

    One

    who

    reaches

    Para

    Brahmanda

    Mandal(InIslam),theysaythathehasRealised. Inmyopinionhardlyafewgrainshehastaken.Divineknowledgestartsfromthat,althoughittakesitsbirth sometimes evenbeforethat.AndwhenyouarelyinginBrahmam,youmusthavetheknowledgeofeverything.Ofcourse,maybeinpart.Brahmamisknowledge.Ifanybodyasksyou anyquestionaboutanyScience,youmustbeabletotell.Ifthesethingsarethere,thenyouhaverealised.And thatisthesymptom.

    10.

    Reallywe

    are

    like

    arubber

    ball.

    If

    you

    throw

    it

    on

    wall,

    it

    will

    return.

    IF

    somebody is thrown towards God, hewill come back. Why ? The lowervrittisarepowerful. Purity isnotthere.Lowervrittisare tobesuspended.Reaction is there.We should remove that reaction and it can be removedveryeasily ifthegrossness isnotthere. Wearenot fit forthat if purity isnot there. Purity is important. Purity means free from the effects ofgrossness.

    11.Virat inEnglishmeans Cosmos. That isBrahmand. Krishna showed itfromBrahmandaMandal. Itisnotaveryhighstage. Itisstillpossibletosee

    ifaman

    is

    sensitive.

    What

    is

    written

    in

    Gita

    is

    an

    exaggeration.

    Imyself

    have

    seenit(Virat). It isnot notactuallynotTRUTH.Krishnacouldhaveshowna highervision also. But itwould not serve his purpose. Show he showedonlythatvision. Thatwasthevisionneededatthattime.Thingscomeevenbefore it,thousandsofyearsbefore, ifonecanreadhecanknow. Work isbeingdonebyVibrationsandyoucanread,ifyouhavethewill.

    12. Sometimes it happens. If a man gets a grain of spirituality, he thinkshimself tobetheMasterof Spirituality. Iamtellingyoueverywherethere

    is

    a

    beginning

    and

    no

    end.

    Ofcourse,

    in

    Layawastha

    this

    is

    not

    there.Beginningandendingbotharefinished.

    13. I compare Sahaj Margwith other systems. When excitement is there,that iswhatmattercangive, it isalwaysgeneralthatyoumaycomedown.ButwhenthereistruespiritualityandwhenyouarefreefromMatter(Maya)these thingswillnothappen. Divinity will work alwaysthe way it shouldwork andMatter works as it should. I ever transmit so that you maydevelop excitement.Iwillneverdoit. When excitement isthere youare

    away

    from God.

    Excitement

    has

    the

    root

    in

    the

    matter

    and

    Divinity

    is

    pure

    andsimple.

    14.Howtoknowwhetherthereistransformationornot?

    Ans: I am tellingyou the method. Bit by bit you are moving towardsTransformation. And bit by bit you are having it. If you remove it(excitement)intoto,thetreis thetransformation.Bringingeverythingtotherightuseisthetransformation.

    If

    anybody

    scrutinises

    his

    state,

    he

    may

    develop

    sensitivity.YOu

    may

    sit

    beforethepreceptorandofcourseatthattimeyoumaynotbehavinggoodmeditation. Afterwardsyou study.Whenyouwork in a system there issomketimes disturbance also and that is true training.After disturbance, Iagaingiveotherdose,otherwisepeoplemayrunaway. If IamnotdoingitIamnotdoingmyservice. Everybodywantssamadhi. Youshouldbeaspirefor God. People aspire for Samadhi, because it is pleasing to the senses.Senseenjoymentisthere.

    15.Apersonwanted toknowtheresultofhisexperiencing theDarshanofSivaindream!

    Ans:Ihavewritten in 'EfficacyofRajaYoga', thatLight is farheavierthanReality. And what is the Light ? If it starts once, that is yourcommencement,afterwardsover.YouMeditateonGod.Now,our littleselfis in conjunction with that (God). When two things meet, thought iscreated.Thebigfireandthe littlefire.THis isneither LightnorDarkness.TheSunnevershinesthere.Afaintreflectionofcolourness.ThatisReality.

    TRANSFORMATION

    1.Dr.Varadacharigavemeabook"HistoryofPhilosophy"writtenbyhim. Ireaditandtoldhim'Of allyourbooksthisisthebestbook'.

    Why?Thought

    clarification

    is

    there.

    In

    other

    books

    it

    is

    not

    there.

    Thatwasthe'Transformation.'

    2.IquarreledwithDr.Varadachariabout,Aurobindo'stheoryofSupramentalandIsaid,"Pleasewaitforsometimeandseefor

    yourselfwhetherIamrightornot".

    Aurobindosaysthat Supramentalcomesandchangesthemindofmen.Rayswill be spiritual. I say it is absolutelywrong. Supramental cannot change.

  • 5/20/2018 Divine Sparks

    10/26

    ThemindofGod isonlyagreatermindthanthatofaman.It isafterallamind,not aReality.Soitcannotchange.UltimateRealityalonecanchange,

    not

    that.

    He

    did

    notagree

    with

    that.

    After

    sometime

    by

    the

    grace

    of

    my

    Master, I could show the difference between the Supramental and theUltimateConsciousness. Whenyouare in thatcondition it isveryeasytodistinguish. And then Dr.Varadachari said "You are correct. Only theUltimate Reality (Ultimate Consciousness) alone can change the mind ofmanandnottheSupramental."

    DEVOTIONANDDEPENDENCY(SURRENDER)

    1.Generalllyallpeopleattemptsurrender. Theygo toTemplesand fall flatandsay"Oh Lord!Icanneitherworshipnordoanything.NowIamsorich.I surrendered toThee"andcomeback tohome.Now they think that theyhave surrendered. But there is still 'I'.You proceedwith I and come back

    with I. You must not attempt surrender and whenever you want tosurrender,'I'isthere. Therightwayis:DevelopdevotionanddevotionistheChief thing.And feelyourself dependent on God. That is the best thingDependence.Whenyouaredependentonsomebodyyou'I'becomesHIS'I'.

    Thisis

    the

    way

    and

    it

    will

    lead

    to

    surrender.

    WHen

    you

    say

    'I'

    surrender

    the

    'I' is there. In my opinion, it should come automatically and the result issurrender.

    2.Dependency youshould feelandproducedwiththatandwhenyoufindyourself surrendered to every Being then you have surrenderedunconsciously. I am speaking from my own experience.Whenyou feelsurrenderedtoeveryBeingunconsciouslythatisrealSurrender.
