Jana: Namasthe, Bhagavan
Yes... Namasthe
Jana: We all love you. Very, very happy to see you.
1.Dear Bhagavan, there are people around us that suffer a lot and even when we pray for them, we do our best to help them, they know and practice oneness teachings, they receive Oneness blessing and even they are blessing givers, still the problem doesn't ease up. Is there any way how to stop their suffering?
Now, if a blessing is not able to help solve the problem, then you must find out where the problem is. The problem could arise from what we call past lives or while you are still in the womb or during delivery. The problem must be lying somewhere here. That has to be tracked down and the deeksha giver must be solving that particular problem. If there were a financial problem and the deeksha is not helping, then most probably while still in the womb the father or the mother or both must have had financial worries. In which case a simple deeksha will not help solve the financial problem. In that case you must give a deeksha to change the thoughts which you had while you are in the mother's womb. And then you find the problem naturally dissolves.
Similarly if there were needless obstacles while being delivered then also you likely to have financial problems in which case you must direct the deeksha at solving the journey through the womb. So you must have a list with you of all possible problems, which could be causing this financial problem. And one by one you must give a deeksha for solving that problem. Once all the problems are covered, you would naturally find that financial problem dissolving.
The same thing applies to all problems. Either they arise from what we call past lives, or from the moment of conception, period in the womb, and then the passage out of the womb and the final delivery. So most incidents in life can be traced back to what happened then and we can always reset it through the help of a deeksha. And you will find very good results occurring in real life. If the deeksha is straightway not working so that is the way to do about it.
2.Dear Bhagavan, many of us are still lacking many material things in life and this is stopping us from being passionate enough to get awakened. Then we are concerned only about our health, our wealth or relationships and God, divine or awakening are the last things that we are interested in. Is there any way how to overcome it, or get these desires fulfilled and finally find god and the right passion? And also how to help others who have the same problem?
If there are financial problems, health problems, relationship problems, or any other problem, then your first attention should be to that. And only then you should move on to awakening or God realization. Not before that. Similarly when you come across people having these problems, focus attention on these problems first. And only then you must move on to awakening or God realization.
3.Dearest Bhagavan, can you please tell us how would we know that we are awakened or God realized?
We give you teachings every week and these teachings would help you to understand whether you are awakened or not. So they are also meant to help you understand that you are not awakened in case you are not.
4.Beloved Bhagavan, last few days, or weeks I can feel more and more pain inside of me. It has millions of reasons and it also has no serious reason. Even greetings or meetings with a person can be painful. I don't know where this pain comes from, but it is very strong. It has no final effect or any longing for reaction, it is JUST pain that exists. I no longer know if it is my pain, or I feel pain of other people, that also happened to me few times and I don't know how to deal with this. Do I have to undergo this? I don't know how to react to it, I don't know how to work with it. And is it possible at all? I keep practicing pranas and sadhanas every day but it seems to stop working. All is as bottom of all, consisting of pain. Behind and under of all the things in this world is pain. It doesn't matter if we call it good or bad all consists of deep and endless pain. I felt it first in London conference last blessing and my questions and longing disappeared. Can you please tell us about this Bhagavan? Thank you dearest Bhagavan.
What you are describing is a part of the natural process of awakening. It is not under your control, nor you could do anything about it. But very soon it should be over. And when it does end, you likely to see that you are awakened. Just leave it alone. Let it run its own course.
5.Beloved Bhagavan, you said, that people, who will reach God realization, will walk and talk with their God. I was surprised to realize that a Goddess is with me that I was never turning to. Is it possible that more than one God appears in our lives or that they take turns? I am very grateful for all the grace you give me Bhagavan. I love you.
You could relate to one or more Gods alternately or even at the same time. It is perfectly possible.
6.Dearest Bhagavan, please tell me, why is it, that always when I care the most and when I try very hard, I always spoil everything? Why I always do more damage than help. Everyday I pray for my heart to open but it remains the same so far. Thank you for all your love Bhagavan.
That has something to do with what happened a short while before you were delivered. Once we redo the experience and make you arrive with a new conclusion that problem would disappear.
7.Dear Bhagavan, I don´t have any relationship with divine. I can´t feel divine, can´t imagine divine it is just word for me with no feeling. I think that first I have to have relationship with myself and then seek divine. What should I do? Because your teachings about awakening are based on deep relationship with divine? How can I love divine if I don´t believe in God?
Oneness is all about starting where you are and not where you want to go. See the fact that you are not conscious of the Divine, see the fact that you have no relationship with the Divine and just stay there. All ... is automatic. If you move away from that fact and try to build up a bond or discover the Divine nothing is going to happen. Become conscious of your situation, become aware of your situation and accept your situation and then take a deeksha and the process would begin.
8.Dear Bhagavan, could you please explain, that awakening doesn't make people irresponsible (as it could be understood from this weeks teaching: The Awakened One achieves nothing; for there is nothing to be achieved. The Awakened One understands nothing; for there is nothing to be understood. The Awakened One knows nothing; for there is nothing to be known.), but it leads people to taking full responsibility for their life. How can it be understood in relation to big company director. I understand that until this state is experienced, it cannot be understood, but how to explain that Awakened One is not unconcerned and he can stay at big company management? Thank you Bhagavan, I love you.
The Awakened One is most responsible and most concerned very naturally. Responsibility and concern are not concepts for him. They are more like his natural state. Like breathing is natural to human being, responsibility and concern come naturally to Awakened people. And no effort is involved on their part.
9.Dearest Bhagavan, oneness teachings speak about true listening. I have noticed many times when we talk, we don't like to hear about problems of others and very often such talk turns in competition in who suffers the most. We are so much hurt inside that all we hope is that someone would listen to us and until they do we cannot take in anything that concerns others as someone said: everybody is selling and nobody is buying. Can you please help us to listen to each other truly, can you tell us how to do this? Love you my dear Bhagavan.
One of the easiest ways to listen to others is to mimic the other's body posture and to synchronize your breathing with theirs. Suddenly you realize you're exactly listening to what is going on inside them. And at the next level you would realize what is going on inside you. Thereafter listening becomes a beautiful experience. And you know exactly what to do. It could be touching somebody on the head or holding somebody's hand or just weeping with them, anything could be your response. But your response would be perfect. It would be a natural response and not a response coming from the thought.
10.Beloved Bhagavan, lately when we watch the news we can see news that make people scared about their future, system requesting higher taxes, prices of basic supplies are going up, people are losing jobs.... that is the current state of our society. No wonder people are not interested in God and spirit. Can you please tell us how to survive all this pressure and keep the passion for awakening and how to motivate people to consider this way that could free them? Thank you dearest Bhagavan.
More and more people across the world are discovering that holding on to the hand of the Divine is one of the easiest ways to handle these problems. In fact this holding on to the Divine is what is going to help us handle the emerging crisis. This hanging on to the Divine is what ultimately lead to the Golden Age.
11.Dear Bhagavan, it is said that we should be forgiving. For some hurts it was easy but some people I cannot forgive no matter how hard I try. I work very hard to forgive, and for some time I even convince myself to believe that I have no problem and one day I see the person and even meaningless thing makes all the hurt, pain and feelings back. Can you tell us how to deal with this? Thank you Bhagavan.
If you are not able to forgive so the best thing you could do is to hold the pain like you would hold a new born baby, so delicately hold it without judging it, condemning it or justifying it. Hold the pain and experience the pain. And then see what happens. Don't have any concepts, just do it. And deeksha would help you enormously.
12.Beloved Bhagavan, we have long lost the sense of sacredness of life. Many times is really hard to feel that life is sacred it feels more like duty and suffering. Can you please help us to feel the sacredness again?
You cannot cultivate sacredness. You should not move away from the fact that you lack sacredness. As you stay in that fact and as the process of awakening begins you would naturally discover sacredness. And here too a deeksha would help.
So I think we come to the end of program, so shall we now meditate for the next 5 minutes.
