Love All Whom He Loves
I want to repeat certain things I have been saying in the recent past.
The most important is to develop a feeling of brotherhood in the mission.
I have ventured to say, we have had in the past the slogan, "Love
Him who loves all." All the abhyasis all over the world, may with
some truth in it, love Babuji Maharaj. But I don't find that they are
able to get on with each other as abhyasis. It is a worldwide phenomenon.
In fact, we are very much like the average family, where the children
care for their parents, but they don't love each other. Now, that is
not what Sahaj Marg is about. For spirituality, love is the one and
only confidant. Without love, there is no sadhana. Sadhana without love
is a waste.
So you see, I have taken the liberty of creating a second slogan which,
let us hope will bring about what we have not been able to achieve all
these years. "Love all whom He loves." If my father loves
my brother, and my mother loves my brother, I too must love my brother.
In fact, there is an ancient tradition in the yoga literature of India
that you are duty bound to love him whom your Master loves. Your love
for the Master which is broadcast flamboyantly with arrogance and pride,
sometimes as if you are the exclusive and sole love of the Master, is
nothing if you cannot love whom your Master loves. So please put this
slogan on your shaving mirrors, women on your powder puffs, "Love
all whom He loves." Without this, the sadhana is not complete.
I would not consider any of you a good abhyasi unless you are able to
love each other, knowing that, that is what your Master wished, and
wishes and will continue to wish. In a family there cannot be peace
until those whom the parents love are also loved by the children, mutually
love each other and the parents. I cannot tell my father or my mother,
I love you but I cannot love the other son whom you have produced. That
will only pain them. And if that pain goes to the extreme, they may
get a heart attack and pass away peacefully. And I will not be left
with anybody, not even brothers because I have hated them all my life.
I hated my sisters all my life. I am considerably concerned about this
in our mission.
