Be_a_Karma_Yogi_3 Mohini_Didi June 3, 2024
Om Shanti!
Is everyone ok? Yes, Baba is helping us to remain ok, right? It's our efforts, but also Baba’s efforts, reminding us what awareness can help us, not only to remain ok, but successful. Also, that we could attain the stage of a karma yogi. There is the fruit of elevated action, there is reward, and we become Baba’s helpers also. While doing actions, I think all of us are engaged in some kind of service day and night, right? Whether we are sustaining or maintaining. When I was entering, my attention went to sister Kamala and Babli bhen. They are taking care of kitchen coordination, getting stuff and creating the menu. So I was looking at them. They are always present in class, whatever happens, because their aim is not only to keep themselves engaged so much. They have to start from morning, noon time, evening time, night time take aways, everything, and they are happy, they are managing well, they said, with the help of everyone. There is an aim that even if we are very busy, to be yogi is important. We are karma yogis, so there is less and less not only tiredness, but there is happiness, then we serve with a lot of happiness and also experience Baba’s help, how easily everything can happen. I think for all of us, if we are not remembering enough, considering ourselves just to be an instrument, we can feel low energy. How long, how much, how will it happen? Certain very subtle questions arise. So I find that creating awareness, the power and capacity that comes through awareness is very important. So, whenever you find even for a few moments that you're finding something hard or difficult or too much, create this awareness.
The homework for tomorrow is really to increase awareness, you just feel very natural remembering that I am just an instrument. Who’s, whose task is this? Who will get it accomplished? So, all mighty Baba comes to mind. The Ocean of Love, Ocean of Peace, our Liberator, our Guide, Baba. As soon as we have remembrance of Baba, whether it is His qualities, His powers, His task, any relationship, anything that comes in our awareness, immediately there is more strength, and you are then very natural. So, that’s how I keep reminding myself. Especially when there is a situation, like today I have been reading so many different emails of a situation, and I immediately say, “What can I do?” So, Dadi Janki’s example came, when there is fire, what do you do? You spray water, what else can you do, right? So, what I have to do is just remember Baba and let the water, let the positive vibrations, the power of Baba, help the situation to resolve. So awareness is the power we call ‘smrithi’, and ‘samarthi' means power to do things. You are able to do things in the right way, because we don’t want to create complications. So our intellect will give the right solution. I could say that I was very peaceful because the mind and intellect are peaceful. So what you think will definitely be peaceful or loveful, because this works like water. So, how do I extinguish fire so that everyone is happy, everyone is peaceful, because if anyone is not happy, that also is a problem. It's not good because their vibrations will block my journey of the intellect. That's why these days, very lovingly, very peacefully, whatever way we can extinguish any kind of fire, I think becomes blessings, and one can remain very light, happy, and successful. Baba will definitely look at the soul saying, “You did very well.”
So for tomorrow, our awareness is Karavanhar and karanhar, one who makes us do, and we are the ones who do. There is the method of yoga and the increase of wealth, it could be the wealth of knowledge and physical wealth, they go together then you would be set to be a karma yogi. It's a little bit interesting to see how we think about it. It is when you use the right method, everything will grow and prosper, but if you're not doing it in the right way, breaking principles or whatever, different wrong ways, then there will be obstacles, there will be difficulties. Otherwise, when I look at this, I think it's so simple. It’s so easy, just follow everything accurately. Baba says that we should not let go of the method in increasing your wealth or anything material to get it, to achieve it. Transform physical, lokik actions, into a stage of karma yogi. Do not be those who simply perform actions, but the karma Yogis in Godly service always remember the mantra of being an instrument. The mantra is “I'm an instrument”. Remember the mantra of being an instrument along with the thought of the awareness of being Karanhaar, the one who does. Do not forget Karavanhaar, the one who is inspiring you. This is the karma Yogi stage. With this awareness, you will constantly continue to be constructive. This is very important, constructive and destructive. Each one of us has to be very careful. I am not doing anything in God's task or in Yagya, anything that could be destructive. It could be my nature, it could be my way of doing, my way of saying things, whatever. Success shouldn't bring any ego, but should make us more humble, so that we always do the right things in the right way, and keep receiving blessings. In this way, my stage of karma yogi is consistent.
Om Shanti
