What do you think we can ask from God? If He said what He wants from you, would you be able to give it?
Actually,
let’s ask Him one thing – to purify our
thoughts, help us to go beyond the
thoughts and help us to go beyond
the mind. That’s it. When you have gone beyond it, it will be very
easy. To go beyond it is the most difficult part where everybody
gets stuck, because the mind is very active. We see it every day
in whatever we do, our thoughts are always in front of us. At the
beginning, when you were always with the Divine, how was your
thought? It was always focused on God. There was not a second
when it was diverted to limited things, like a Mercedes, but
nowadays, how many people’s thoughts and minds are on God – only a
few. If you consider the amount of people living on Earth, how many
people do you suppose are thinking of God – very few, a handful.
The rest are thinking how they will get a Mercedes, how they will
get this and how they will get that. They will even pray “God, get
me this.” As the Mataji said, God also says “Yes? What can I do for
you?” We must be prepared to make only the appropriate request. It
is through prayer, through japam, through meditation, that we
learn to control our thoughts, but the best of all is through silence.
Pray, chant your mantra and silence
yourself. Feel the mantra
inside of you. When you chant the name of God, don’t just say,
Narayana or Durga or Babaji. It’s not just the name. They are not simple
names, you know? These names create a vibration and even when
you are not aware, it’s still vibrating. The main thing is you have to
be aware of that vibration inside of you. You have to feel that
each part of your body is vibrating these Divine Names. You can
really feel it and really know it only when you are in silence. Silence
doesn’t mean that you have to stop your work and say “I sit in silence
and that’s it – finished!” No, silence means that whatever you are
doing, you stay calm and you control the tongue. The body is made of 206
bones and they say that wherever there are bones, we can control
them, but the tongue is not made of bones, so we have to learn to
control it. If this tongue can chant the Divine Names all the time,
you will be able to control it. When you have controlled the tongue,
you will be able to control your mind.
If you
silence your mind
completely, you will
receive everything.
You will not
even need to
ask.
