Words from the Master

Alright, let us alter the seating arrangement a little. When you sit, don’t sit with your relatives or friends or people known to you. Sit at random, next to anyone whom you don’t know much, whom you are not very familiar with. When you sit with familiar people, you will be compelled to exchange glances, exchange words while I am talking. If you sit with strangers, you can absorb me better, alone.

And understand one thing: I always tell this during my talks: When the session is happening, there will be a beautiful flow, an Energy that is created and vibrating in the room; a deep communion between you and me. Don’t interrupt it by coming in late. The flow will be broken.

It is just like encountering a speed breaker when you are going smoothly on the highway. The speed breaker is only a small interruption, but to cross it, you have to slow down, go over it and pick up speed again. The smooth flow will be broken.

And please switch off your mobiles phones. They are another very common speed breaker today! In fact they can cause the journey to be totally bumpy – one speed breaker after another! I am sure each of you has a cell phone here!

When you are here, don’t be serious and heavy. Be sincere in listening and listen with an openness and lightness. Don’t come here expecting that in the very first session, you will experience God! In a light and easy mood, without expectations, you will be able to receive much more from me.

If you come with a prejudiced mind, full of expectations, you will be thinking only of your expectations. You are not here to focus on your expectations. You are here to focus simply on what I say.

The next thing: Leave all your social ego outside and try to be an ordinary person while you are here. The ashram and the presence of the Master is the best laboratory for you to experiment with yourself, to let go of your ego, to shed your illusions, and understand that you are just a part of Existence, and experience your Being.

So even if you are somebody in society, try to be ordinary here and mix with everyone with your heart. Not only my words, but every moment of interaction, every moment of just being here, can cause a transformation in you. You just need to be aware, that’s all.
