Ignorant_of_the_Knowledge_of_Desires_6 Mohini_Didi September 6, 2024
Om Shanti!
How is everyone, ok? Doing well? Yes, very good. One of the Dadis is sharing her experience. We have been listening to her for 2-3 days, she is the sister of Chandramani Dadi. Most of you know Chandramani Dadi, right? She knows English, very jovial, but when we listen to them, how much renunciation was there? These are the sisters, the Yagya souls. It’s not only upper middle class, but they were from rich families. Baba himself did a lot of renunciation, but when they came to Baba in Madhuban in the beginning, it was quite simple and there weren’t even some of the basic facilities at that time. They had limited money, and then the time came when Baba wanted them to go for service. So she was sharing the day before yesterday that Baba gave five rupees when she was leaving, and that five rupees she had to give it to the portal so she had no money. She was sent to Bangalore like Janki Dadi was sent to Bombay, and Dadi Gulzar went to Lucknow. Wherever there was an invitation for service, they were sent. Then she said that she was sleeping on the floor with nothing to spread underneath and nothing to cover. Someone had a dream and brought it, but there was no mattress, so then someone also got a thought and brought the mattress. Even I was surprised. I was traveling to Europe and they had a good office, and a good classroom, everything, but not good a bedroom. When I went, they put a good bed in the office for me. So, I said, “Why don’t you create at least one or two good bedrooms?” I was just kind of talking to them, but gradually the tradition changed and specially in some countries, they’re very small spaces their houses are small. In USA, we have big rooms and big spaces, but it is not that way in every country. When I have traveled to Europe or anywhere, I found they really had renunciation. All that we are having today is because of that renunciation. The renunciation of so many souls. I remember the first time when I went to Madhuban, there used to be hot water from the wood fire, so each one would get half a bucket of hot water. Then you take that in a very heavy bucket, not a plastic bucket, a metal one, and we carry that. Then we had to fill it and put cold water for the temperature, as everyone is different. There was so much intoxication. You go from modern families with attached bathrooms, and here you have to walk quite a while with your bucket of water in a training center from one end to another end. The bathrooms were on the other side. You also had to stand in a line. So which turn will you get? Third or fourth for taking a shower because there were not too many. So it was quite a challenging life, but as I said, there was so much intoxication. Of course, the Yagya is the Yagya, and the vibrations of the Yagya were very powerful, and with the love of Baba.
So the basic attraction was Baba’s love and a new kind of family. So surprisingly there were no desires now when we go to Madhuban before reaching Shashi bhen gets a list. I want a single room, I want a room in this building. She says that if I have, I will give, and if I don’t, then you will have to share. So how do we make the soul content? Everything really begins from contentment. Contentment is not a conclusion, because that is the foundation of a stable stage. Baba says that any desire finishes your good action. I helped in putting the chairs, so I must get a chair in front because I am the one who did it. So you did a good action of helping to put chairs, but then you have the desire to have that seat. So this is becoming ignorant of the knowledge of desire. Do not be a gyani who thinks that I have done this and so I should receive this. I should get some justice and what people say is not fair. That’s not fair. According to the Drama, everything is fair. So these are different sanskars and tests. Never become one who asks for justice. Generally in today’s world, they say that when there is justice there can be peace. Baba is saying that the more we understand Drama and karmic accounts, and for every situation are the consequences of whatever action has been done. So Baba says that anyone who asks for anything in any way will not experience being a contented soul. When scenes of Drama emerge in your mind, whatever is past is passed right? At present, my stage should be that I am a contented soul. Yesterday was about powerful seed form stage, to become a seed. You have to have contentment to see the seed that is our thought and action. Both seeds are elevated, altruistic, and very pure. So when it has all these vibrations, all these beautiful qualities, definitely the outcome also is like that. Many times in India when they hear about the centers, beautiful places, they immediately say that it’s because your energy is pure. That’s why you got this place because in India, they believe in matching energy and what you received. So experiment, be stable, inculcate this stage of being a contented soul, and see what are your experiences.
Om Shanti
