Compassion

Today I learn a new word. It's called "Compassion". I have posted in this blog on love, joy, surrender and forgiveness. But not compassion. I didn't think I have use it before, didn't think it's as important as love, joy, surrender or forgiveness. But today, I found that it is as equally important and it is something that I need very much now. So, sharing with everyone an excerpt of Shri Mataji's speech spoken on my 5th birthday.

Give Natural Compassion to Others

"Our compassion has to flow to others. It's a simple business. In this respect one has to understand that the source cannot flow unless and until it expands the flow of it, like the River Thames. We went to see the place from where it starts. It is a small, little stream from seven streams – little, little, very little, little – we can say trickling down – it has become the River Thames. Supposing it does not widen, that will stop at the beginning only. It cannot come out, it cannot flow. It is not because it is angry or upset, or anything like that, but because of the nature of its flow only, it cannot flow, what to do?

So that is what it is, that one has to give compassion to others. It should not be formal compassion, or the affected one, but it should be a natural one, very natural, spontaneous feeling from within. It is not an expression of your ego, superego or over sentimentality, but is a kind of an understanding that he is a Sahaja Yogi, you are a Sahaja Yogi, you are brothers. Not the way brothers have been, but a different type of brothers who are spiritual brothers. You are spiritual people."

Have you look at Shri Mataji's bindi before?

The red dot on Her forehead? We looked at Her beautiful face a lot but how often do we look at Her bindi? Past few days have been a struggle for me to get by. I can't seem to think properly and having a tough time trying to rationalise and be balance. It's not because of the recent happenings. It has been accumulating from many, many nights before that. Attention was all over the place. I lost control of myself. I don't know what I want to do. I don't know how to move on. I felt a little lost. I think and think and think. I tired myself out and finally declared that it's fatigue. Last night, decided to pull myself together. Sat in front of Shri Mataji's photo and just looked at Her big, round red bindi. At first it was difficult. Eyes wandering. Then after some time, it was much better. I managed to focus. That's when a realisation came to me and I got all the answers fo...

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

I started the matka pot treatment last night. Been feeling a lot of left agnya catch lately, so thought that it is high time to do a matka pot treatment. Here is what we need: 7 limes (I heard in Belgium, they used 7 lemons, so the pot that they used is so big and they have a hard time trying to dispose the pot after the 7 nights). Cut the top of the limes to expose a bit of the flesh. 7 chillies. Remove the top of the chillies (I don't know what you call, stem or stalk). I used small chillies so that they can fit into the matka pot. 1 matka pot (here in Malaysia we used claypot that they cooked claypot rice, glazed inside so that it will not leak) Vibrated water So, you put everything into the pot and vibrate in front of Shri Mataji's photo. Pray that the matka pot will absorb all the catches and negativities. Then place it on the left side of the bed. I put it under the bed but you can also put it on a side table on ...
