   "OPEN YOUR HEART"
   Dorset, England 2.8.1981
   
   
   
   What a beautiful place we are all in. It's a real blessing of Sahaja Yoga for all of you to relax. Relax well, because in relaxation only you realise that "we are now realised souls, that we have entered into the kingdom of Heaven, that we can see the beauty that God has created all around us, that we have become sensitive to His grace and to His kindness and to His love." It's a seminar that you have arranged and I am very happy. I always wanted you to arrange seminars and that you all should meet together and live together and understand each other. The seminars, on the gross level they work out many things no doubt, but on subtler levels seminars of the Sahaja Yogis mean a lot. It means that strong nuclei are being consolidated in various places in a country and these strongholds, or the strong nuclei, which are created like this can form a mechanism by which beams of strong vibrations can flow or can be thrown all over the place. It is a very great task to build up these divine mechanisms in different parts of your country. For example Mother Earth has done Her job. Where ever it was possible for Her, She has created living deities to show that God exists, that you can now test their vibrations and see how She has worked very hard. She has created all this beautiful universe, She has created you also. She has created the Kundalini within you, She represents the beautiful nature. In Her company, in Her bounties when you are drenched and you all meet each other, you see for yourself how She blesses all of you just the same. There is no difference between you and any other person for Her. But those who are sensitive, are subtler people, enjoy Her much more than you people do. Now the problem that exists in every country has its own style I have seen, and in this country we have a style of problems which comes, gradually it is changing it's form. In the beginning I found that people were over-aggressive, sceptical and also could be rude sometimes. It's alright. It makes no difference to me. Now, gradually, they've started changing over. Now they're becoming aware of what they've got, what role they are playing, how important it is to be an Englishman (when I say Englishman I mean all the English people, not Wales or anything different) and how they have to become part and parcel of the Heart of the Universe. I wonder how many of you really realise how importantit is to be an Englishman. That everything that happens in this country circulates. For example, if this wedding* had taken place in any other royal family it would not have circulated so much. Everything circulates from this country. May be you may not think much of yourself. You may think that what is so great after all,
   England is like any other country! But why do people accept so many things from you ? Like even a monarchy. I mean, most of the countries have thrown away their monarchies and in this country it exists and it has a respectable position and the symbol of a monarchy is still lingering here in a very proud way. Then the marriage itself. The marriages of royal families are already tested, protested and detested and nobody is interested. And that such an auspicious thing should take place here, and that everybody should see it, so many countries should watch it and appreciate it and ENJOY it   of all the things, is something surprising. It transcends all rationality, all understanding of even logic. We can say, "What is the logic behind it ?"' but if you are enjoying you just want to enjoy, you don't want to think about why you are enjoying. So one has to understand that you are part and parcel of the heart of the universe. One thing is essential that you have to be very flexible people. You have to have the flexibility of the heart cells. Now heart has to pump. It has to be strong. And surprisingly the lion is your emblem, so you have to have a lion's heart. And lion's heart means he's not afraid. He's the king and he lives like a king, like a lion. And Leo as in astrology is a man who is extremely generous. Lion-hearted. Not afraid of anyone. There should be no fear. But English language if you read anyone or if you listen to anyone, every third sentence he'll come out with the words' "I'm afraid..." "I'm afraid to say...." "I'm afraid this is so". These words must be dropped out from the vocabulary of Sahaja Yogis. What is there to be afraid of ? Some people say that this is said because we do not want to hurt other people. There are so many other ways of saying things without hurting others. Now what is there to be afraid of ? A man who is weak cannot love. ONLY A STRONG PERSON CAN LOVE. If you talk of love, first of all see whether you are strong enough to love or not. Loving is not an easy thing, even carnal love, even loving your beloved in the ordinary sense is not an easy thing. You have to have a very strong moral concept. Otherwise every third minute people start changing their loves. That kind of a love has no meaning. You have to have very firm ideas. Not only ideas in your brain but built within you. VERY FEW PEOPLE CAN HAVE A LOVE AS ROMEO HAD, I can tell you this. It's easy to think that you are a Romeo. It's different. You can think you are the King of England, it's alright, but you don't become that way. So to be Romeo itself you have to have a tremendous character, a tremendous sense of sacrifice and love and understanding of what you want. You want to love thats all, nothing beyond or before. I MEAN A MAN, WHEN HE FALLS IN LOVE, HE FALLS IN LOVE FOR EVER AND EVER AND EVER. If he falls in love many times it can not be love. SO THAT EXPERIENCE ALSO IS A SORT OF A FORBIDDEN FRUIT FOR MOST OF YOU.
   
   So to love God is even more difficult without seeing Him, without knowing Him, with-out knowing His bounties. Without getting realisation it is very difficult. But today that is not the case. But still you have to have no fear in your mind. Trust. You trust yourself and trust others. First of all try to trust yourself. If you have made mistakes you have to say, "Yes, I have made mistakes. So what." Trust yourself that you can correct yourself also. Trusting doesn't mean a blind ego-trip. It does not mean that. It means that, "Yes. I can correct myself. I can improve. I can do better." Some people think that if you trust yourself then you should never confess anything that you have done wrong. That you should never say that it was wrong and I can correct it. These are wrong ideas. You have to trust yourself, saying "Yes, I have made mistakes. I have been doing wrong. I've been faltering, but I can correct. I have that strength within me. I can rise above all these things. I have that thing within me that I can use to my advantage." Trust yourself. Trust that you are realised souls. Trust that God loves you. He has chosen you to be His instrument. Love yourself. You are unique. No doubt. As it is, human beings, every individual is a unique personality. But after realisation you are definitely unique. One has to use discretion about understanding. It never means ego trip. If you cannot correct yourself, you are not master of yourself. Yes, you are not perfect. 
   You are unique, but you are not perfect. You have to perfect yourself. These words can be very confusing. When I say you are unique, immediately you think you are perfect. These are two words. Unique and perfect. Somebody can be unique, but he can have imperfections. So you have to perfect yourself and trust in yourself that you can perfect yourself through your Kundalini awakening, clearing your chakras, by understanding yourself you can perfect yourself. You have to perfect. I have so many ways. I tell you directly, sometimes indirectly, through friends, somehow I point out that this is the problem with you. You should think that I'm within you. I'm that part within you which is discretion. When you do not understand your own discretion I try to give you the direction by this way or that way. But people feel hurt, people feel bad, or some of them accept it. If you are seekers and if you are ascending you are definitely unique, you are specially blessed and you have to pay special attention to yourself. You can't afford to play with yourself. So you have to discriminate between ego or ego-trips as they call it and ascent. Ego-trips bring you back with the worst hurting. It would be something like throwing you in the air and again you come back with a bump, and break one of your legs or something like that. That's what an egotrip is. But ascent is when you really rise above. Not only that you rise, but, with you, you make others rise. In your ascent you develop tremendous powers. The higher you ascend the better it is. But it's not by thinking that you are perfect, that you can ascend. 
   There's a story of a teacher and his student. The teacher was very kind to his student and he would come and show him his creations. He was very kind to him. And every time he would say that, "I have done this well, and this is the thing that I have not been able to do, so will you please tell me how to correct it." And the teacher would say, "Yes. Good. You'd better correct this part. Then do this." And one day the student came and said, "Now this is perfect.", and the teacher said, "You are no more a student now. No more. You are not to come to me anymore." There was another student who was coming everyday and correcting himself and he told his teacher, "Today I think I can teach others but not yet perfect." and he said, "Alright, you go and teach." The third one was a student who came and he was always trying to see what was the mistake and how he had to correct it and he worked very hard, very assiduously and he came to his  teacher one day and he said, "Sir, I will not trouble you any more now." He said, "True. Now you take my seat". So this is what one has to understand. If you ascend, you will become humbler. It is just the other way round that people understand. When they ascend they think they have achieved some special powers. I don't know, suddenly self-certification starts, you see, "I'm very good in spirituality. I'm very high up". And all that. This self-certificate starts and then it can reach such a point where suddenly you find that you are on the earth again. This kind of thing is not the way it works out. Actually there are certain qualities that show on people who ascend. The first thing is their collectivity. How collective you are. How many people you can get along with. At how many things you can laugh. That is one of the biggest qualities. The second quality is that how much you accept another's domination who cuts down your collectivity. You must have your personality separate from everyone. If you allow others to cut your personality; say for example there's a boss and you are an employee and both are realized souls and one of them is ascending then he becomes humbler, he becomes better. They have a congenial relationship. But to a point. He will never compromise with his boss when it comes to his ascent, to his collectivity, to his giving, to his doing things for others. On that point he'll never have any domination. How much you feel responsible about yourself is the second point. How much you are responsible to be there, to be a cell in the heart. Any cell that fails, fails the heart. Every cell in the heart has to be extremely sensitive, and extremely obedient to the Self, to the Spirit. It has to activate, work harder when there is need or emergency, and it enjoys the most. And no impurity should be allowed. The third point now. As I told you, first collectivity, secondly your responsibility and third point is purity. Purity of your own heart, first of all. Of your own heart; without insincerity, cunningness. As I'm saying this you will realize that all Englishmen believe in the contrary. Nowadays, not olden times but nowadays. Clean heart, Transparent. Open heart. Trust others. Talk to everyone with an open heart. Trust others. Why do you doubt ? If you do not doubt yourself you will not doubt others. What are they going to take away from you ? What have you got ? Nobody can take away your nose, eyes, nothing. It's all quite intact. It's all nicely glued down so nothing is going to disappear. How are they going to hurt a person who is a realised soul ? If your heart is clean you can see the other person clearly through and through. Innocence is such a powerful thing. Such a powerful thing that even a glance is sufficient to kill a satan. Purity of heart.
   Actually, when the heart becomes impure the impurity flows down to other places. It is not the other way round. It is from the heart. Many people believe it's the body that becomes impure. I think it is the heart which becomes impure and then it starts trickling down and then it is residual there. It settles down there. So have a clean open heart like a child's heart. Open heart. What is there to be afraid of anyone ? What is there not to trust anyone ? What is there to be angry with anyone ? Talk to everyone, shake hands with everyone, be nice to everyone. On the way you find somebody with difficulty. Give him a hand. If someone cannot sit properly or has a problem you try to remove the problem. If someone cannot stand, give the place. Try to give from your clean heart. If your heart is not clean it can never give. Now, how do you clean the heart is the subject. There's no broom available for that in the super-market ! There are no Fairy Liquids or anything to wash it down ! But there is a way. Allow your heart to be drenched in your Mother's love. Justallow. See how much She loves you. I trust you. People laugh at me sometimes. Some of these saints who are supposed to be very great people. They can't understand how I trust you. They say that, ''Oh, these are all lost races. These are horrible people. How do you trust them ? They are not sanyasis, they are not sadhus, they are nothing. They are ordinary people.'' For themyour value is nothing. If you go to them they will make you stand on your head for three months. For three years they may hang you in a well. I don't know what they will do to test you. But I trusted you the day I saw you. The day you came to me I trusted you, and I worked on you from the very first day, knowing what you are, but I trusted your Spirit, that it would shine. In the same way, trust. We laugh at others. I have seen Sahaja Yogis laugh at others, make fun of them when they come to me. Trust them. When you trust them you will respect them also. So you have to believe in yourself and enjoy the way gently you are sweeping into the current of your Mothers' love. Just enjoy that. Like a flower that falls into the current and flows and enjoys all the beauties of that current. In the same way you should enjoy. When that enjoyment comes into you, you will start trusting. And trust your Mother.
   I try many things to correct you; but trust in one thing, that whatever I try for you or do anything, anything I may do for you it is just to cleanse you. That's my job. Maybe sometimes you might feel I am publicly saying things for you. Maybe your images are being ruined by that, or whatever you may think. That's not the way. It's for your ''hita'' ( ), it's for the well-being of your Spirit and that is the most difficult job. With all this trust in your heart, first trust yourself, trust others, other Sahaja Yogis. ''Love thy neighbour as thyself.'' Who is thy neighbour ? It's a Sahaja Yogi. Stand by him. And trust Your Mother. As I have trusted you, you have to trust me and it will work out. Open your heart to this trust. You should not worry whether it would be absolutely respectable or not, because heart knows. Whatever your heart will do in it's genuine form will be respectable because there resides your Spirit which manifests. That will look after it. By outward forms whatever you try it's not going to work out. It is that trust in your loving heart that is going to do it. It doesn't matter. You see today she brought some flowers. There were some supposed to be weeds according to her. She went to the station and there she was taking some fIowers out and the station master and his wife were very sweet. They said, ''Go ahead. They are only weeds. You can have them.'' And they are so fragrant ! One of the most fragrant flowers I have ever seen. They are just weeds. They do not conform to any formal flowers or anything but just a few flowers attached to other flowers were most fragrant. Love gives all the sophistication and the fragrance and the breeding which is required. Not talking of love, but really loving is the way. It's most enjoyable.
