Om Ganesha, Morning Pujas and Prayers from our Sacred Kashi Ashram.
Sept. 28, 1999
Namaste my chelas, When in your life, you have reached the place of broken illusions you begin to turn to the Guru Mother for guidance. Why is it that you wait till you are hurt before listening to the Guru? Do you not know that when you are hurt the Mother is hurt too.
When your mind is filled by waves of grief, the ego is made very happy. This is when the ego sends out signals of self pity. When you then begin to indulge in self pity, you look to take it out on those close to you. You almost can not stop yourself even though you are aware of hurting another.
At this time if you can find it in your heart of hearts to be compassionate to others, you will be able to defeat the ego. The unconscious mind is uncomfortable with the falseness of the ego, and so at this time you begin to feel weird and alone.
The heart of the Yogi if aware, can see ones happiness in the giving up the false ego. Be vigilant. Be full of heart. Do not give up. Call on the Mother Call on the Father. Call on all your strength.
Each morning as I begin my Pujas and Prayers on my porch over looking the Ganga about 3 am, I look toward the Murtie of Mother Mary and I am filled with her beauty love and compassion.
By being in the arms of the compassionate one you can over come worldly desires. Thoughts of self pity is not good for any one to have. It is even worse for those on a spiritual path.
Oh my chelas. Illusions obstruct your hearts journey toward God the Mother. It will eat your strength right out of your will. You will become dull.
Do not follow the path of the ego, follow the path of your gentile hearts.
Turn a deaf ear to the voice of wants and hear well the voice of need. That need is the love you have for the Guru to blossom like the great lotus of the heart.
This need gives birth to a positive heart filled with love.
Believe your Ma when She says that all of you have so much in you that can be used to make your life and the lives of others full and joyful.
A good thing to do when you find your self falling into the well of self pity is to share your thoughts of the Guru with others. When I asked our Baba many years ago or was it life times ago, what is God? He simply said GOD IS THE SHARING.
Share of yourself and feel this wondrous God of all.
Unite with your Gurubai. Unite with your Guru. Unite with your self the great self.
Unite with Shiva and Parvati and Kali. Unite with the Christ. Unite with His Mother.
This is not hard to do. All you have to do is want to and the Gods will do the rest.
When your mind can see for a moment the beauty of serving others, self pity disappears.
I ask my Baba to shower you all with his Heart Grace and take all your self pity. Live a full and wonderful life, my chelas. These are my Pujas and these are my Prayers. I love you all so very much. Love Ma Jai Baba Ki Jai
