An open letter to Shri Mataji

Image
Dear Shri Mataji, In a few days time, it will be Sahasrara Day, 5th of May.  On this auspicious day this year, it also coincides with the 13th Malaysian General Election. As Sahaja Yogis are blessed to have the power to feel the truth on our subtle system, on our fingers, on our physical bodies, given by You, O Divine Mother, we are grateful for our Self-Realisation. Unfortunately, there are many people out there who are not yet realised.  Some people are still arrogant and racist.  There are many things that are happening to our country, Malaysia.  While we hope that there will be a better Malaysia, no matter Pro-Government or Pro-Opposition, there are people out there who are still fighting for power, being racist, greedy over money, and now up to evil tricks just to be in control. Fear is spreading and also anger.  The fight is getting stronger each day and everyone is just waiting for 5th of May. We pray that there will be peace and stability.  We pray for truth

Motivating myself

I have been reading a motivational book and it has been very enlightening.  It's call 'The Slight Edge' and it talks about how to change your life.  Do you want to remain with the 95% of population who stays exactly where they are because of their way of thinking or do you want to be the outstanding 5% who stood out of the rest and shines in the crowd?  It's all about what's in our mind.  What we are thinking and how it is affecting us.  I haven't finish the book yet and this is what I've got so far. Little by little, I began to take notice of how my thoughts goes.  Do I think of positive things?  Or is it complaining and blaming the society for everything?  And I realised I was with the 95% crowd. But without realising, as time goes, I can't stand people complaining their life problems to me.  It came to a point, that I actually told that person off, 'Hey, your life is in your hands.  You have control over it.  If you are not happy, then ch

Surrendering to Paramchaitanya

Few days ago, I listened to Shri Mataji's puja talk, on Paramchaitanya in 1989.  I can't find the transcript of this talk in Amruta because I wanted to share some of Her words here. So, I am going to write something off my head, hopefully not wrong.  Shri Mataji said that Paramchaitanya is watching us and is everywhere.  Sometimes things happened, sometimes things don't happen.  It's for us to learn, whatever is the reason.  So, if we know this principle, then we will be happy with our life.  We have to believe in this power of Paramchaitanya. So, one morning, while driving to work, I looked up the sky and thought to myself, let's surrender to Paramchaitanya today.   I was a little early to work and stopped at the traffic lights right before turning into my office, as usual the jam was pretty long, uneventful.  I left my house earlier today because I wanted to leave work sharp at 5.30pm. Few days ago, my senior manager who took the same route as me, s

Dr Arun Apte's music

On the way to work this morning and found the roads were extraordinarily jam, so I hooked my earphones and started listening to the late Dr Arun Apte's live performance in 1998.  This is one of the advantages of having a smartphone with Data Plan, that you can surf the web anytime, any day, anywhere.   So, I opened Youtube and since I was having a bad headache, Raag Bhoop for the Agnya was the first choice.  It was soothing and there were times, when the music suddenly climax, it feels as if the music was trying to push out something.  Clearing.  Then when that ended, I selected Raag Darbari for the Sahasrara. From a dramatic Raag Bhoop to a slower and quieter Raag Darbari, there's calmness on the Sahasrara.  And watching Shri Mataji listening to this gave a sense of security and comfort.  I wasn't listening so much to how the music was being sung, but rather was enjoying how the raga was flowing. When I first heard the late Dr. Arun Apte and his wife, Surekha
