"Now today I want to tell you something very important about this all-pervading power we heard about, these are nothing but vibrations. Paramchaitanya is nothing but vibrations, where all identities are lost – where the mother is lost, father is lost, we can say – nothing remains when it is just this vibrations, this subtle vatsalya exists. That’s all. And this is the only thing out of which everything comes and remains in itself. Like we can say that the suns rays come out and then they try to create chlorophyll. So it’s not that we cannot compare sun with that. Or we can say, from the ocean the clouds come out and they try to nourish the Mother Earth. That’s also – cannot be compared. Everything is inside. This Paramachaitanya has got everything inside. So we can say that everything is nothing but knowledge, is nothing but truth, is nothing but light.
But when the folds of these come out, then we get into the folds of that Chaitanya and then we become ignorant, but there is nothing like ignorance. It doesn’t exist, it doesn’t exist. Like there is darkness because there is no light. Once light comes, it doesn’t exist, doesn’t exist. So ignorance doesn’t exist. But what happens that the folds of this ocean, into that people go and it is lost. Thus we understand one thing very clearly: that we are in Paramachaitanya. We are made by Paramachaitanya, all the time we are surrounded by it. Only thing is, we are sometimes lost in the folds. And why? Why we are lost in the folds is because of our own – our own unawareness. This awareness has to come: that we are part and parcel of that Paramachaitanya. The whole thing is called as chitvilasa, is the vilas, is the playful enjoyment of God’s Attention.
Now you will say, “How can that be?” For example, we see the sun – and just to give a simile closer to it, we see the sun and then we see the water. We see the water in the lake, right? There is water – because of the sun, we can see the water. Then supposing we see the mirage. We see the mirage and then we think this is water, we run after the water. But the whole thing is a play of the sun, whether it’s a mirage, whether it’s a water, whether it’s the sun.
In the same way, this Paramachaitanya acts and what we get lost is in our awareness that we are Paramachaitanya. That’s why the play starts, the play starts like yesterday’s – day before yesterday’s Puja, what did we do? We were sitting there and it started raining. So to prove, to prove that I can control rain. So it rained. Some people were covering up something, this thing. I gave a bandhan. After some time, the rain moved out from the Puja to the back side. It was not raining where you were sitting. And after that, it became the sun and it was so clouded. Sun came, it became sunny, so that’s how you have to become aware of the powers of Chaitanya.
Now when you give bandhan, what you do is to put the Chaitanya into action, “Now act here, now act there, act here.” Though you are, supposing, in the ocean, but the ocean acts on you all the time. You cannot act on the ocean, you cannot ask water to do this and do that. But as realised souls, you are empowered, now you can ask water, “Alright, you dissolve this, you do this, you do that.” But for that, it is important to be the masters. And to become the masters, you see, like a matter becomes a human being, and from human being you have to become the masters of the matter and you handle the matter So we come back to the same. Like agriculture, we can handle, just vibrate it. We can handle water, we can handle the sun, we can handle moon -because there’s a rapport. Now we are aware a rapport has been established, so all this play is extremely beautiful to Me. I see it.
But now you all have to know that you all have become realised souls and you have those powers. So all other nonsensical things that you learn, all nonsensical things you indulge into you better give up. There’s no sense in it. Whatever is sensible you should do because there’s Shri Ganesha within you who is absolutely sensible. He is nothing but sense. He is the giver of sense, so He’s the killer of the demons, as they say. He is the one who removes all the ordeals. By how? By improving our awareness. Though ordeals do not remain, because you give a bandhan, it works out.
Now I asked somebody – Phil – I asked him to write down about the miracles, and he says now it has become like a voluminous book. It will be, because before Realisation whatever looked like miracle is no more a miracle. Miracle has lost its meaning, because now you are a power and you can do it. It works in everything: in your talent, in your understanding, in your education, in everywhere. Like there are some boys who said, “Mother, You see, we couldn’t solve our problem so we gave a bandhan. Immediately the whole thing came onto us and we wrote it down” and they stood first.” It has happened with many.
So in every action, in every thing, whatever you do, you should know it is the Paramachaitanya that acts. Only thing you have to be aware of yourself, and aware of it, it acts and you just jump into that awareness and it works, and that you have seen. But still so many people do not know. So many people still, though they know through their brains, do not know in their hearts. And so many people, even if they know in their hearts, they do not act in their attention.
So only these three things you have to improve: is one is your head, another is your heart and third is your liver. If you can improve these three organs, this Paramachaitanya will act. But then, all this attention about money. So many people, money this, that. There’s nothing to it. Paramachaitanya will create everything for you, whatever you want. It may not create money because it doesn’t have a mint, but it will create possibilities – possibilities and this is something to be understood very well, and it’s so blissful to know that now you are aware of the Paramachaitanyaand you can master It. Master It in the sense not that you dominate It, but you ask Him like a djinn. You know, you can say, “All right, do this, do that”, with respect. With respect it works..."
