| Evolution of Love Part 2 |
| The concept of a transmission of shakti from Guru to disciple, which seven devotees referred to as shaktipat, existed as a concept in the minds of devotees, and they believed they had received it from Ma. It was usually described with the analogy of the seed. Almost all people had at least some awakening in the heart. Swami Bhaskaranandaji explained in this way : Some came to Ma out of curiosity. But after seeing her once, that seed is planted in the casual body. I see it as a time bomb. There is no time limit of one or two births. The time will come when everyone will have this intense longing for the God relationship. So it will slowly transform. Ma is always changing and transforming the casual body, the karan sharira. But it takes time. When you go to the river to take water, the dirty water comes first and after a while the pure water will come. Ma said, "It is a cleaning process. These impurities will come up and be passed off and the inner purity which is there will be able to come forth. Swami N.....anandaji said, There is a connection that we are talking about. Ma is here. And she is inside you, inside everywhere. So there is a place where Ma used to uplift the soul of man and then give, in Bengali, anubhuti, the current of real love........ You go to Ma and outwardly Ma will laugh with you, give you some fruits, some flowers, ask you some ordinary worldly things. But she is trying to buy time for the real thing which is going on on a higher plane. She is injecting the real influence of her spiritual power, the real shaktipat. Jai Maa!!! However, sevaral people did indicate that Ma was an inspiration to them. ...... Do said, " You know, Ma never used to say, 'I'.This is such a great thing that Ma had shown us by her expression how to be egoless."S....... G...... Said of Ma : She always taught by example. She was one person who always practiced what she preached. Take for example, simplicity. She wore only white and a yellow towel. What was her bedding? Her bedding was one durrie, one straw mat, and a white sheet on top. She never liked to waste anything. Once in the Kanyapeeth they had washed some rice to be cooked. And in that little place where they washed it, Ma, in her very inscrutable and inimitable way, was going up to her room and noticed three grains of rice, three grains, Lisa, on the floor. She picked them up, washed them and put them inside her mouth. She didn't say anything else. Teaching by example. She used to say in Bengali " Bhikshanna" This meant that the rice that you get here is what people give out of charity and should not be wasted here. Jai Maa!!! One day a very high ranking official came to the Ashram. When he was sitting in the room, he said, " I always wish to have darshan of Sri Ma but I am put off by the thought that some people who are received and tolerated here are those who according to me should be whipped publicly for their misdemeanours !" Sri Ma understood his reference to the person concerned. Sri Ma said to him gently, " You know that sometimes it so happens that a person commits a folly but should he be condemned out of hand and should you use such language for him? Unless he is already repentant and wishful of reform why would he come here? All are children of the same Father. This body does not say 'come' or 'go away'. All are equally acceptable. Can you say that a good man will never commit a mistake or that a bad man will not become virtuous? For this body nobody is an other or an outsider." The gentleman reflected on Sri Ma's words and acknowledged that she was right. When he left he was calm and in good cheer. |
