No Sightseeing After Utsav
If you want to go sightseeing, go before. After that, stay here throughout
the three days of the Utsav(Celebrations) and go home straight. For
those who are orthodox and have been following the ancient principles, even
for temple worship this thing has been said again and again, "You may go anywhere
before you go to the temple but once you have gone to the temple and had the
darshan of the Lord, go home straight."
Babuji Maharaj used to say, "Look here, what foolishness they are committing. They come here, I clean them, purify them, fill them and when they go home they should go home straight. Instead of that they are going sight-seeing, they are going to Patna, they are going to Kathmandu and Banaras and they are spoiling their condition even before they reach home. Please tell them that at least if they want to do all these foolish things, they should do it before they come here, so that I can clean them and they go home clean."
Always it has been my experience that, in the final sitting of an Utsav, a celebration, the transmission is full of love. It is something always very unique; the final sitting is very unique. I have seen this through my almost twenty-seven years with Sahaj Marg. It is as if the Master is giving us a promise: "You are going now, the celebration is over, but my love for you continues." Celebrations end, but love does not end.
