Preface

Actually, I did not want to write a book of this kind. I am a person who is in the complete joy of divinity. There is the all-pervading joy of divine love and I want everyone to enjoy it. Especially in the West, I have seen that there are many seekers of absolute truth. There are many scientists who have written voluminous books about consciousness, about awareness. One can give a list of them. But all these books really weary you completely because they do not emit any knowledge of the ultimate truth. I dont want to criticise them. After all, whatever they are doing constitutes honest research. But why not also give a chance to this new discovery which is being made? Why not humble down to see what is beyond this mind, which gives you all this artificial intelligence?

It is extremely difficult for me to write about the problems of Western life. It is like a tree which has grown outside. This is now to be pushed down to the roots and made to grow inside. It is only by going deep inside that we can find out what the problems of Western civilisation are.

This book is especially meant for Western people, but unfortunately, I have never studied any Western language. English is one of the blessings given by the British to India when they ruled our country. But there too, unfortunately, I studied in a vernacular school and later on in a medical college, where there was no question of learning this language, English, which is today universally accepted, especially in the West.

This book is in no way to show any flowery language or to show any literary talent. It is just a straightforward statement of facts which I know and which I want to communicate to the Western world. I would request people not to waste their time in finding faults with my English because it is not my mother tongue and I never studied it. Unfortunately, I could not get somebody else to write for me because it had to be written by me personally.

The most difficult part is to convince a human being that, in the entire creation, he is the most highly evolved being, that he is capable of becoming a glorious personality, a beautiful, peaceful angel. To tell him about the problems of modern times is not a very good way of convincing him about what human beings truly are. There has been so much demeaning of human beings, so much degradation in their value systems that I thought that unless I go to the root of the problems, it wont be easy to explain why they have to break away from their present shackles in order to evolve and ascend. One has to speak frankly about what the problems are and what the real solutions are.

Frankly, here is no peace within modern human beings, nor without. The poor and the rich alike are unhappy. Everywhere people are groping for solutions. At a limited mental level, the intellect can work out certain problems, things we see around us that are in jeopardy. But while a few problems may be resolved in this way, others arise. The true solution lies not in the material circumstances outside human beings, but inside the human beings themselves. The true and lasting solution can be found only by the inner, collective transformation of human beings. This is not an impossibility. In fact, it has already happened. There are so many thousands who have actually achieved this state. The reality of en masse inner transformation of human beings by Self-realisation is the most revolutionary discovery of the present age. But so far, very few governments have accepted this discovery, especially in America, England, France, Italy and Germany. A previous pope, Pope John Paul II, who himself was supposed to be in charge of religion, met all the false gurus, but he would never meet me or talk to me, though I met him before he was elected to the position of pope. This is not my job, this is not my work, but it is a spontaneous desire of the Divine that this should be brought into full light, so that human beings are raised to a higher state of consciousness, by which they can realise what they are, so that they can appreciate and glorify themselves.

To me, human beings are like the deities who are still in stone form and who can be transformed, with kundalini awakening, into angels.

I hope that with this book I will not hurt people. On the contrary, I hope to be able to get many more people in this great work of Sahaja Yoga, by which they can achieve the ultimate goal of their search. I have to use humour, because, by nature, I am very humourous and I see humour in every kind of incident which people sometimes take very seriously.

It is too much for a mother to talk about the ills of her children, but, unless that is faced, I dont think the children can ever get their benevolence and reach the ultimate goal, which is their Self-realisation.

So I would ask all of you not to get angry with me, but to understand that out of my tremendous compassion and love, I have written this book for the benevolence of the people, with whatever English I could use, with whatever literature I could use, with whatever style I could adopt.

CHAPTER ONE

Modernism

and Rationality

In the Puranas , the modern times we are now living in are called Kali Yug a, the age of confusion and conflict. Yugas are periods of time, thousands of years long, that recur in a cyclic or spiral progression. Dwapara Yuga is the second age when people begin to lose some of the great qualities they had in Satya Yuga , the first or golden age. Kali Yuga (modern times) marks the lowest point of moral and spiritual consciousness in each cycle. Kali Yuga is followed by Krita Yuga , the age of transformation or actualisation of spiritual experience, which leads finally to Satya Yuga, the age of truth or reality, in which the golden age returns and all mans faculties of spirituality begin to manifest themselves in their full glory once again. Thus, according to the Puranas, humanity has great hope of enjoying Satya Yuga, which will give peace, harmony and divine love.

If we tally the description of Kali Yuga in the Puranas with very obvious observations of the present state of our society, it seems to me that the worst period of Kali Yuga started during the first quarter of the twentieth century. It is almost unbelievable how culture and thought have completely changed in such a short time, particularly in the West. In Kali Yuga, all traditional values are more and more undermined and destroyed and thus there is great moral confusion. There is also a restless, seeking for new forms and new kinds of order. According to the Puranas, when the lowest point is reached the people will have lost contact with their inner sense of dharma (the innate sense of righteousness which is sustained). There will be confusion about right and wrong. Children will no longer respect their parents. Men will think and act like women and women will become like men. The lowest grades of human beings will take over positions of power and authority and the higher, spiritual type of human beings will be neglected and despised.
