Inner Improvement – becoming an instrument

Sahaja Yoga first of all is for personal improvement, is for the inner improvement as far as the personal side is concerned; means your intelligence must improve, your temperament must improve, your heart must clear out, your feelings must be all right; then you should, your health should be all right, then your relationship with others should be all right, your ego should go away, your superego should go away. All these things are there. But this only helps a personality, just a personality that is very limited, that is yourself. But now, this personality can become an instrument, if you can develop that depth within yourself. But normally what happens, people are very much still worried about themselves, say about their wives, about their children, about their husbands or their household or this and that. These are not important things, because we have to be those instruments which are what you call them, like pilotless bombs, we have to develop that depth within us. That depth is possible, and you can really cure many problems of your country if you could just meditate on them.
