Solution to a problem

The word problem, specially in the European community problem is a very common word. But in the English language we never heard this word, problem. You see the problem was used when we were studying geometry; geometrical problem.





But, we never knew there is a problem in life. Later on, when I came in contact with European community, they will say there is no problem, this is the problem. At least, in one day, 100 times they say problem word.




So, for a problem the solution is not to have that thing which gives you problem. You can give up anything. Anything that you want you can give up, if you know how to detach yourself from that. Many people come and tell me Mother, we have an ego, that is the problem. I said, then give up. I mean it’s simple. Why do you have it? As if you see they want to say that we have a trouble with this thing but still we are clinging on to it.




Like we are afraid of a crocodile but we want to put our foot into the mouth of the crocodile and we have a problem that our foot will be eaten up by the crocodile. Now give up. But they will search out the crocodile. Open the mouth and put the foot in it and then come to me and say Mother, we have a problem. My foot is in the mouth of the crocodile.



To get to problems you have to get to it. But without getting to it how will you get a problem.





Say for example people have very silly stupid problems. Now the first problem somebody may have oh, I have to get my clothes pressed. What’s the need? No problem, Wear them as they are. Who looks at you? You see there are all the people who have pressed clothes, does not matter, what’s there if it is not pressed. It’s a problem for them, is silly things like that. You see very silly things. But the greatest problem I think you have is your watch. In Switzerland, I shouldn’t say so.

Right Heart Chakra

The sweetness of Shri Rama, the way He used to make people feel comfortable, like I would say, an example of a oyster who gets a little stone into the body of the shell, takes out a kind of a shiny liquid and covers it with that shiny liquid and makes it into a pearl to be comfortable.




Now, He didn’t want His own comfort. Rama is a little bit different that He wanted to make everyone into a diamond, or a pearl, so that the other person would shine and would look nice, and that’s how He felt comforted.




His qualities, if you have to imbibe, first of all we have to understand the innate situation of Shri Rama. Shri Rama is placed on the right hand side of your heart, right hand side, right heart. He’s placed there.




Now in a human being there is no right heart. If you tell somebody there's right heart, they’ll say, “What, there are two hearts, or three hearts?” In our Sahaja Yoga we have three hearts: one is the left, another is the right, and one is the center.



Now the right heart is a very important thing. The right heart looks after the whole lungs, both the lungs, all the throat, the trachea, the nose, the inner part. The outer side is looked after, we can say, the features are given by Shri Krishna but the inner part of it is all done by Shri Rama.




They are the same, but one acts as an inner part, another as the outer part. It gives you the ears, from the inner part, Shri Rama does. He gives you the eyes, in the inner part of the eyes.




Now, it’s so important to have the inner side all right than the outer side. Is an example of Shri Rama, He never cared for the outer side or the outward looks of a person. Because He came before Shri Krishna, He tried to build up the inner side of a human being.




So we can say, though He is on the right heart, He acts through your Hamsa Chakra and partly through your Vishuddhi Chakra in the inner side of it. Because Shri Krishna, in the inner side of it is Shri Rama, is Shri Vishnu.

Message of Sita’s life

Another incident is that when Sita was lost. He never slept, he never slept on a bed, always on the mother earth. The pain he had of his wife is very well described by all the poets of India and when Sita left him ultimately, in a very mysterious way, she just disappeared in the mother earth because mother earth had given her the birth.





So she disappeared into mother earth. Then Shri Rama became absolutely lost and he jumped in the river Saryu and disappeared in the water element from where he had come.








Now this man had to give up his wife. In this contrast you can see the wave rising and falling of a personality. The society in which he lived, the state in which he ruled had an objection for a wife who had lived with Ravana and the public started talking about it.








So, as a good king he just decided that his wife should be left forever. And then he sent her on a beautiful Chariot, with his Prime Minister and his brother, Lakshmana who took her down and left her, told her this is what has happened and that Shri Rama had ask her to take her down to the ashram of Valmiki. As a result of that she got very upset and she said, She was Adishakti so she does not have to bother, She said, you just leave me here, very self respecting person.








She didn’t say no-no-no. I will come to him, or I will sue him, I will go in the courts, get all his money, how dare he throw me out, nothing of the kind. That is the grace of a woman. Graciously she said, alright, now you have listened to you brother, I am your sister-in-law, elder to you. Now you obey me and I tell you as your sister-in-law that you can now go. Leave me here alone and I don’t want you to go any further with me to deport me with somebody, and she was pregnant.





Here if it happens, of course, horrible things can happen. But in India if such a thing happens, the wife will kill herself or she would not be able to bear it. I think both things are just the same in escape. If there is no aggression then there is recession. But, she said, “No, I have to give birth to these two children. I can look after myself.” Alright graciously it is done. I am nothing please tell him not to worry about me and she told Shri Lakshmana that alright you look after him and that’s all I want and she told the Chief Minister the Mantri, that you must look after the kingdom.







See the dignity, see the balance, see the character, the personality of Shri Rama. He was called as Maryada Purushotama and look at his wife. She was equal to him in every way.






When she was kept by Ravana, Ravana was so frightened of her shakti that he would not touch her. He used to frighten her saying that I will do this to the women of India. I will do this to the women of world, I will do that kind of a horrible things, I will take another birth, I will misbehave. She said, do what you like. You can’t touch me. He could not touch her hand. He was so frightened.






And when Hanumana brought the ring of Shri Rama and presented to her and said that this is the ring of Shri Rama. She said yes, I know, how is he? He said, he is alright. All enquiry she had about herself. So he said, Mother, I can take you on my back. I can easily take you, you can come on my back and I will take you. She said, no, I won’t go with you. It’s Shri Rama who is a brave king. He should come himself, fight this Ravana, kill him because he is evil and then I will go with him, with all the glory.






She was not frightened of anything. For her the important thing was that Ravana should be killed. He is evil and should be killed by Rama. Such a great courage for a woman. Both sides if you see, you will be surprised that how a woman’s character is such a powerful thing. Its not a reactionary thing, my husband is like this, that’s why I am like that or my husband doesn’t do this for me, that’s why I am this. My husband has gone away, so I am finished. What am I to do without my husband? Nothing of the kind.







She stands on her feet. She said no, to Hanumana and she stands on her feet and she says when Shri Rama will come, and kill this evil and remove this evil from this earth, then only he can take me with him. I won’t go with you. I won’t escape him. I won’t run away. Nothing I am going to face it myself here.





For a woman it is too much to say to be imprisoned in a horrible person’s jail or in a place which is so dangerous for her. To say that I won’t go whatever you may try, whatever tricks you may try, whatever you may say. I won’t go. Just imagine. And Ravana was such a horrid fellow. He did all kinds of things to her. But she kept absolutely calm and quite waiting for her husband to come. Can we think of such women in modern times!! So satisfied with themselves. So much in balance. So much full of confidence and strength.





This is the message of Sita’s life.

Powerful has to be humble and nonviolent

Anybody who is powerful has to be humble and nonviolent.





Mahatma Gandhi used to say, that what is the nonviolence of the weak. A weak has to be nonviolence. What is so great! That’s a policy or a kind of a protection that he has. So a weak person has to be nonviolent because he cannot face, he cannot protest.




But nonviolence of the powerful is the sign of the real nonviolence. Those who are powerful, if they are nonviolent, that means they are quite confident of their powers. Those people who are confident of their powers, why should do they agrees others? They just stand. Alright, come along, what do you want? Even saying that people ran away.





So, those who are violent, angry, hot tempered, jump at everyone, torture everyone trouble everyone are the people who are very weak-charactered. Their character is weak. If their character was alright then they would not have done all these things.




That’s the sign of a person who is either possessed and under the influence of possession is doing that he is too weak and he is possessed by his anger because he doesn’t have that much power to bear anything.





The most powerful thing is the mother earth because she has the power to bear. The one who has the power to bear is the powerful. The one who does not have any power to bear. I can’t bear, I don’t like this. Such a person is useless thing for this earth and sometimes I feel why God created them. It’s a headache to have a person around. I can’t eat this, I don’t like this. Then why are you here? Nobody likes you either. No one likes such a person and that’s why that person is always I don’t like this, I don’t like that.





So, the power of a person lies in bearing things. How much you can bear! How much you can undergo? Without feeling it like you are, say, in a jungle you are happy, if you are in a palace you are happy. If you are with this color or that color, if you are with this race or that race, if you are with this kind of life or that kind of life, you can bear it, and that bearing power gives you the caliber, the Caliber to have Sahaja Yoga. It’s not that this is shown, its not that this is being suffered, don’t have to say I suffer being like this. No, you don’t suffer. Its just by the way.

A story about sankocha

"See this softness of Shri Rama goes to the extremes where I call the sankocha, the formality, the formal – but it is the English language, 'formal' is not the word, Sankoch.


He was once when He was fighting Ravana,He was taking out with His arrows his ten heads one after another. And if He took out one, then took out the second, the first one would come back because he had a kind of a blessing that nobody could kill him by hitting him on his head.

So Lakshmana said, “You know for definite that this Ravana cannot be killed by hitting on his head, so why don’t You hit him in his heart? "

Shri Rama said, “The reason is this: that just now in his heart Mahalakshmi, the Sita . Sita is sitting in his heart. And how can I hit him on his heart because She’s there? She might be hurt.”

“So what’s the use of hitting on the head?” he said.

He Said, “Because, once I start hitting him on the head fast, his attention will go there. As soon as his attention will go into his head, then I can hit him on his heart”
See the sankoch ? See the sankoch, the way He talked.

Birthday of Shri Rama - Ram Navami

So as a child Rama was studying with a very great saint, Vishwamitra, and he had an ashram where Rama and His brothers studied, and they used to come for holidays to their father’s place. Then He had the capacity to kill a demon with only one arrow. One arrow of Shri Rama’s was sufficient. And He was a small little child, say about seven, eight years of age and people were surprised how He could do it.

Now these Yagnyas [ceremonies] were created to evoke the deities within the spinal column, actually. And for these Yagnyas they used to sit down and do all these Havanas the way we do it. But at that time the rakshasas [demons] would come and try to spoil the Yagnya. Because Yagnyas are to be done with a pure heart, and with cleanliness and with purity. It should not be insulted. There is a protocol about it. While they thought that, “If we insult the deities there, then the deities will disappear and their Yagnyas will be spoiled.”

At the time of Rama also there were some rakshasas who took a special pleasure in spoiling these Yagnyas, and Rama as a child would go and protect the rishis [saints] from the demons. And the demons would take on some sort of a funny form, and come like miserable creatures and put some bones of animals and things like that in the Yagnya, and that would spoil the effects of the Yagnya. And Rama would protect that, as a child. Imagine, as a child He used to do that. They would be doing the Yagnya and He would be sitting outside with all His small brothers around Him, and they would kill the demons who would try to destroy the Yagnya.

This is the early life of Rama in which you see how as a child also He showed an amount of expertise in arrow and bow. So any time you see a statue, how to make out if it’s a Rama statue is to see if there’s an arrow and a bow – then it’s Rama’s statue.

Now His coming on this earth gave us the development of the right side, and so the Yagnyas were also on the right side. Because first of all when human beings came on this earth, they were frightened of all the animals who would invade them and all kinds of horrible rakshasas and all those people, and negative forces would trouble them. In that state they needed to create a king, a ruler who was an ideal king and who would rule according to the laws of dharma [right conduct]. So He was the one in charge of that.

He was here in Treta Yuga, and Krishna came at the time of Dwapar Yuga. When I came it was Kali Yuga, but now today the time is of Krita Yuga. The Yuga where work will be done – Krita Yuga. This is the time where work will be done. So far things have moved from one to another.

Now in the Treta Yuga when Shri Rama came, the idea of kingship and rulership started, so the greatest emphasis was on the goodwill of the people. The people had to have goodwill, for the people and for the king, and for the betterment of humanity. The will: that is the right side. So how to create the goodwill? First the leader has to sacrifice, and show how far he can go on sacrificing to keep the moral and the goodwill of the people. So the right side was created by the advent of Shri Rama, because He showed a path of creating among people the awareness that they should be ruled, that they should not be anarchists. There should be one head who should be able to organise, coordinate and work out a collective thing.
