External Change - Our Responsibility
This external change, preceptors cannot help you. You have to make
up your mind that you will change; you have to make up your mind that you
will speak gently; that you develop love in your heart; that you will become
soft in nature; that you will be compassionate, friendly, loving. Without
these qualities - love, compassion, charity; there is no human being. Otherwise
we are subhuman beings. We are only bipedals - two legged animals. So if you
want to be known and recognised as human beings, you have to manifest human
qualities of love, charity, compassion.
And I cannot afford now to postpone human change, because people are not
cooperating with my Master's wish. This is not a warning; this is a request.
This is an appeal to women because, without women changing, men will not
change. Without women changing, society will not change. Without women changing,
India will not change. Without women changing, the world will not change.
So you see, if you want change, don't think government
is going to bring about change. No government in this world
can change human nature. They can only bring you more drainage,
more electricity, a metro and something like amusement parks
called science city - that much. Nothing more government
can give you. If you want social security, social harmony
social peace, you have to create it.
So without this external change, we are doing a big disservice to the Mission,
to my Master. Because you are exposing the Master, the Mission, the Method
to stupid criticism from people who don't know what spirituality means and
to look at the people, how they have changed - the liar is still telling
lie; the cheater is still cheating; the money maker is only making money,
nothing else. Like a chicken which goes on laying eggs, it does not know
why? And if you do not change, we will have less and less abhyasis
and more and more critics. Therefore less abhyasis,
therefore more critics and ultimately we will end up with only the Master
sitting in the easy chair and brooding over. "What is wrong? What have
I done wrong? Why is that nobody is here?"
So we have to change. We must be wealthy. There is nothing
wrong in wealth. We must be attractive; everything; it is
O.K. Nature made us like that. But without inner beauty
this will fail. I want to see the inner beauty. And inner
beauty must shine in your eyes. The eyes are the windows
of the soul; that I wish to see, that you must wish to see.
