Bhagavan: Namaste.

SD (Sharina Devi): Oh Bhagavan!

B: So happy to see you all.

SD: Oh We’re so happy to see you Bhagavan! This is our Maui family here. Namaste.

B: So happy to see them all.

SD: You can see everybody?

B: Yes, I can see everybody, very clear.

SD: And everybody can hear you.

B: Shall we go ahead with the first question?

SD: Yes please.

B: There will be one question per island. So we’ll take up the question now.

Vikram: The question is, Bhagavan:
“Some of us expected to be in full Oneness through Deeksha by now and it has not happened for us. We know you are saying it will all go quicker now, what really can we expect about awakening to full permanent Oneness/ Enlightenment and what can we do to accelerate the process.”

B. Actually there are people around the world... they’re, of course, few in number... who are already awakened and who live in the state of Oneness. They come from all parts of the world.

But the numbers could have been much, much larger had we implemented these changes which we are now implementing, much earlier. It should have happened quite some time ago but we could not do... bring about those changes. As a result we have lost valuable time. We now hope to make up for the lost time. So now as we collectively move to the new phase many more should become awakened before 2012. However, in 2012 you could expect large numbers of people to become awakened, if of course we follow all the steps that were...that we have recommended.

The other thing that you could do to hasten the process is to become powerful Blessing Givers. Now how do you do that? You have got to sensitize your body. You may have to do certain practices like, let us say, fasting, 2 day fasting, 3 day fasting, sometimes a maximum of 7 day fasting. Maybe some breathing techniques, because you have to sensitize your body more, in order that the Deeksha could flow more powerfully into you.

Similarly those whom you are going to do the Blessing, it’ll be good if they also sensitize their bodies because the Deeksha flows through what you call the sensory cells. If they are insensitive then the Deeksha becomes weak. So they could also be given some breathing exercises which we can do later, and maybe a little fasting and let us say they could fast for 2 days and then you could give them Blessing, in which case you could be very powerful.

So a lot of things could be done to make the Blessings themselves very powerful and most important is, you must grow. Now how do you grow? We have given you all the teachings. First, you understand them intellectually, then, you have to apply them in your life. If you do not apply them it’s no use. After understanding intellectually, let us say, we are often telling you look, look inside yourself, you will discover that you are a rubbish pit, a septic tank. Terrible things are inside you. Now you have to take this inward journey and get to grips, hold like a baby your jealousy, your anger, your fear, your lust, your hatred. You must handle them, you must handle them in a very live way, not as a concept, but actually go inside with the help of the Blessing, see and hold them, like you hold a newborn baby. Hold it so delicately, not condemning, not judging, but hold it and experience it. Now if you keep doing this you will discover that the teaching works.

For the teaching to work of course, you have to take the Blessing also. The Blessing, which you can straight away see, the Blessing by contacting the Divine in whatever form you want to.. along with the teaching... and you must do this as a practice almost, every day. They you’ll become very, very powerful Blessing Givers.

So, one is sensitizing the body.  Next is, after understanding the teaching intellectually, you have got to apply them. Your application must be there. Most people do not apply them, they only understand that intellectually. You have to sit quietly in a calm place, allow your thoughts to come and start applying it. The third thing is, you must improve your connection with the Divine.

It is the Divine which is coming down as the Blessing. The Blessing is nothing but the Divine, the Divine trying to get closer to man... and the Divine is your own higher self. So you must become a very good conduit to it. As more and more of these Divine energies flow to you, without doing anything further, you will see that your conscious levels are going up. More effects are coming and you actually feel oneness with the others. It’s a real thing, it’s not an imaginary concept. You actually feel that you are one with the other.

So these practices are required, and when I’ll be meeting you on the Skype like this I’ll be guiding you more and we’ll go for longer meditations very soon... In which case it will help you... and I expect many people to become awakened even before 2012, if you will facilitate for these things. That’s why it’s very important that I am in touch with you almost once in a month so that I could guide you and in 2012 when those energies really shift... we should make it quite easily. So that is the answer for that question.

I am told there is one question per island so now shall we move to the 3 minute meditation? This time it will be for 3 minutes, later it will be for longer durations. So could we now start the meditation?
 
SD. Yes please, Bhagavan. Thank you very much.
(3 minute SILENT meditation)

Vikram: Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

SD: Thank you Bhagavan, we love you.

B: Love you all, Namaste, Thank you, thank you.

ALL:  Namaste, Namaste
