But you must also understand that you can do a lot by your horizontal movement. By horizontal movement, what happens that you start meditating on a particular subject, which is a very bothersome subject and which is for the destructive of humanity. Anything – you just put your attention to it and meditate. If you are that deep, that means if your calibre has improved to that extent, you will immediately put an effect on that. Immediately, you will see there will be a change, there will be something happening in that direction. This is your power, which you have to actually develop.
So, we have to meditate and by meditation we develop that strength within us. So, automatically, we start solving the problem. Like our antennae grow up to that point. The way we are strong inside, they grow outside, to help so many things which are to be helped. Now you see that people are realising that the world is in a great mess and there are lots of problems that have come through materialism, through wrong thinking, through emotional thinking, through stupidity we can say. We have no time for all this. What we have to do is to develop ourselves deeper and deeper and deeper, so that on horizontal plane, also, we are effective.
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 relationships 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.
Now for today, I had actually sucked in most of the problems which I had felt were there in Canberra and later on in that conference and later on here. All these problems came into my understanding, I would say, and I was trying to work on them. My working style is different because I have very sharp and very effective instruments. But I have to pay attention to it and I a little bit suffer also. Doesn’t matter.
Now for you all, it is important that you also develop those deeper feelings within you, deeper sense in you. But mostly people are very superficial type. They just think about their body, their impressions, how they carry themselves. At the most they’ll think we have to be very legal-minded, or we have to be at the most not drinking, not smoking and all these things are achieved and we have achieved everything. But I think that is not so...
And second point is that we think that if we love each other, if we love Mother, that is the end of everything. It’s not true also because you see, your love for me is there, no doubt, and it should be intense, it should be deeper but the deeper you go into that love, then you will be surprised how you receive a special quality of correcting the things that are wrong around you. Gradually that quality improves.
For example, a Sahaja Yogi goes to anybody’s house, that house must become auspicious. But such a Sahaja Yogi must have a good heart. If the heart is not good, in the heart there is still anger, passion, lust, greed, then such a heart won’t affect. But a person who has purified himself, if he goes into any family, any household, any society, the whole change will take place.
