Maharaji:
I told you yesterday: Who is Guru? The
highest manifestation of God is Guru. So when
Guru is here, God is here, to whom will you
give your devotion? I want that the
general should sign some papers. I need not
go to his office when he is sitting in my
home. Is it necessary to go in his office
when his is sitting in my home? When God has
come here, then what is the need to give
devotion to God there? Q:
Why didn't Jesus say -- or does it say in
the Bible anywhere -- that He would manifest
Himself again? For future generations, so
they could have a living God? M:
He has said, He has given you a hint, but you
want everything in a perfect state. He has
given you a hint -- you don't recognize that
hint. Q:
In Mark, Chapter 13, he says that One would
come after him, not the son, not an agent,
not a messenger, but the Father.
I
think in Srimad Bhagavat Gita, it is written
that He will come full, He Himself will come.
That first when He came, particularly to some
places He saved; but now because He will come
to save the whole world, He will Himself
come, full. Question:
Guru Maharaj Ji, what does it feel like to be
Lord of the universe? M:
What should I tell you about it? Question:
Just what it's like. M:
What it's like? Nothing. Because you are not
in yourself; somewhere else; one with someone
else. Question:
How is it to be like a puppet? M:
You don't know.... Do you? When you become
Lord of the Universe, you become a
puppet, really! Nothing else; not 'you'.
Not 'I', not 'you' no egos, no pride, nothing
else. One with humbleness; servant. Very,
very beautiful. Always in divine bliss.
Creating your own environment - wherever you
go, doesn't matter. Like my friends used to
play and I used to sit right in the corner of
my ground and meditate (laughter). She
wants to change places with me! I wish I
could change places with everyone, and give
one hour of experience to everyone! But it's
not possible. The
following is an extract from a talk given at
Malaga-Spain - March 26, 1978. ....
keeps every one of us alive. Okay, so you
don't know what the other guy's wardrobe is
like, or what kind of watch he wears. But it
doesn't matter. Because we all know one
thing, and that's the Knowledge. And we know
that that Knowledge keeps you alive, keeps me
alive, keeps everybody here alive And then,
by knowing that, it automatically becomes a
beautiful, beautiful garland, in which we
just completely merge and become one, and
then experience that great one-ness that just
doesn't end! It has no end to it And that's
the point that we have to come to. Because
this mind always tends to try to do whatever
it has to insure that we are always confused,
to insure that we're always on the wrong
track And you can ask that one question
Why? Why
is mind so incredibly after us, so blatantly
after us to keep us con-fused all the time?
Why is it always wanting us to pursue the
wrong thing in our lives? Because that is the
nega-tivity. There's a positive and there's a
negative. And the negative is always the
shadow. And it's just like I said Mind is not
something that you can touch. Mind is not
something that you can see. But you can just
feel it It's this thing always following you,
wherever you go. And the slightest moment
that it can, it attacks you It's there, and
it's just always hovering. Because
it is what we have created It's our monster
It's our shadow that we have created And it
hovers over us, and haunts us. And we keep on
making those mistakes, keep on opening those
gates so that that haunting becomes even more
and more terrifying. This
world would just completely collapse if
Perfect Master stopped coming in this
world. I can't possibly even imagine or
foresee what this world would be like.
Because it would be completely incredible
to just see the beginning and the end of the
world in the same minute, in the same second,
in the same hour. It'd be just gone!
Finished! I mean, with the Perfect Master in
the world there's enough problems. And with
him not here, it lust feels like the whole
thing would just go "poof," and that would be
it. And
when Perfect Master comes into this world,
what does he try to do? When Jesus came into
this world, did he say, "Oh, my children, go
to the moon and you will find peace"? Or when
Mohammed came, what did he say? Go to Mars,
and there you will see the scene that you've
never seen before"? I mean, he could
technically have said that, because I guess
since nobody had been to Mars, then that
would be a scene that nobody had ever seen
before! But he didn't say that. At
that time in the battlefield, what is Krishna
trying to explain to Arjun? Is he trying to
tell him how great the moon is? How the
craters are there? And there is no gravity,
so you just give yourself a little push and
you go flying in the air? And that's the
peace, and that's the settlement, and that's
the happiness? Or saying that, "Fight against
each other, and that will bring you peace and
that will bring you satisfaction, and that
will bring you happiness"? And even in the
Gita, where this is what Krishna was talking
to Arjun about: Okay, why don't you fight?"
There was something completely different that
happened. Krishna
said, "Okay, Arjun, I'll reveal to you the
third eye through which you will be able to
see me, because you cannot see me with these
eyes." And when Krishna revealed the third
eye to Arjun, this is the incredible sight
that they depict in pictures. (Of course,
they're hand painted. They didn't find the
negative of it or anything like that.) But
it's like a thousand heads, one with fire
coming out and one with this coming out, one
with that coming out And I mean, it's just
outrageous, incredible, fantastic. And
yet when you receive Knowledge, you know
exactly what Arjun saw. It wasn't something
like fifty-thousand heads He saw this Light
that Krishna described to him. He said,
You're gong to see a Light such that hundreds
and thousands of suns put together are not
even like that And he saw Krishna's real
form. So
every time the Perfect Master has come into
this world, where has he directed that
attention? Why has he said, "What we need to
do is to bring peace into this Earth? It's
"bring peace into this Earth." Why has it
always been peace into this Earth
….. The
following is an excerpt of Guru Maharaj Ji's
satsang "Shower of Grace", Malibu, California,
June 11, 1978. Printed
in Divine Times, June/July, 1978, Volume 7,
Number 4, Guru Puja Special. So
how are we going to recognize God as He comes
on the earth? Are you going to ask to see
His identity card or passport? See, if it
says, "Name ... God. Occupation . . .
Generator, Operator, Destroyer." That is
foolish! Or are you going to recognize Him
only if He fits in with your mental picture
of Him, what you have picked up from the
scriptures and other impressions, what you
imagine Jesus or Krishna looked like? But
even two Christians will have different
impressions of what Jesus looked like. So
what will be recognized by one will not be
recognized by the other. But the test of the
Perfect Master will be that which is
undeniable to everybody and that is the
experience of himself which he can give, and
that is the true
Knowledge. (Maharaji
- Tokyo, Japan, October 3, 1972 (And it is
Divine, July 1973) To
be continued...
who were thirsty for it - that was the objective and
still is....
Quite a few people wanted to see me as a figurehead.
I didn't want to be one and I am not one.
A few others saw me as a leader, and I didn't want to be
one and I am not one."
Prem Rawat, on his website,
February 15, 1999 - 'Journey'
section.
Dear Reader,
By the grace of Almighty Lord, we bring you
the magazine And It Is Divine. You will find
this magazine very different from others,
because it shows not only the suffering of
the world, but also a way out for all
humanity.
There has never been a time when the Lord
of Creation did not manifest Himself in human
form, and come to this planet Earth to do
away with evil and spread the True Knowledge.
But history is a pendulum which is always in
swing. There have been so many scriptures,
but still people have never been able to
understand Him.
Divine Light Mission wants to bring world
peace by sharing the Knowledge which is
within us by the grace of Almighty Lord. In
this magazine, we hope to give information
about the peace which lives within us, which
Guru Maharaj Ji reveals.
(Guru Maharaj Ji's preface
for the DLM magazine 'And It Is
Divine'
published in the 70's and early
80's)

The
Supremest Lord in person before
us
: the Supreme Lord incarnates and takes a
body.
Maharaji,
the Master
: is really Hari (Supreme Power) in the
form of man.
Be
with the Physical
Lord
: who
has come into this physical world with a
Physical Body!
Not
even a leaf moves a
millimetre
: without
Maharaji's wish!
I
am the light
: I talk through your voice. I'm the power
that works in your hands. I am everything.
Only in me the world has
meaning.
To
be with the person who is
everything
, GURU MAHARAJ JI. The Lord all
powerful.
You
don't go to earth for
liberation
:
Every benefit that you were supposed to have
in liberation, you will get... away from
Karma, away from actions and always in the
bliss and the radiance of the Lord. That
place will be given to you while you are on
the earth with the Lord, with the human form,
with the physical presence of the
Lord.

Who

Jesus gave us this Knowledge, Krishna gave us
this Knowledge, but now we must look again
for a new Master...
What

Don't

Earth to save

(Excerpt - Alta

Satsang)
...
have to take the shelter of Guru Maharaj Ji.
Guru
Maharaj Ji knows all. Guru Maharaji is Brahma
(creator). Guru Maharaji is Vishnu
(Operator). Guru Maharjai is Shiva (Destroyer
of illusion and ego). And above all, Guru
Mahraji is the Supremest Lord in person
before us.
Guru
Maharaj Ji is the knower of all the Vedas.
Knowing everything, He knows nothing. Guru
Maharaj Ji, knowing everything, does not know
anything. Why? If He knew all the Vedas, then
there would be a limit to Him, He would also
be limited. Then His thought would not go
beyond the Vedas, because the Vedas
themselves are limited. Are the Vedas always
moving on? Do you think that there is no end
to the Vedas! Yes, there is an end to the
Vedas.
So
the Supremest Lord, Shri Guru Maharaj Ji,
knowing everything, remains detached from
everything just like the lotus flower.
The lotus is blossoming in water, but
remaining in water, is away from the water.
If the lotus flower goes underwater, then the
ability of water to take all the good and bad
will also come into the lotus. But the lotus,
remaining in water, does not take the
qualities of water. Remaining in water, the
lotus does not accept the qualities of
water.

I
have come so powerful. I have come for the
world. Whenever the great come,the worldly
oppose them. Again I have come and you are
not listening. Every ear should hear that
the saviour of humanity has come. There
should be no chance for anyone to say that
they haven't heard of Guru Maharaj Ji. Those
who have come to me are already saved. Now
its your duty to save others. Shout it on the
streets. Why be shy?
(Excerpt - Peace
Bomb Satsang)
When
human beings forget the religion of humanity,
the Supreme Lord incarnates. He takes a
body and comes on this earth ......
When human beings forget this one way, then
our Lord, who is the Lord of the whole
universe, comes in human body to give us
practical Knowlege, ....But, most ironically,
we don't appreciate the Lord when He comes in
His human body on this earth. Similarly, a
Satguru, a Perfect Master, a Supreme Lord who
is existing in the present time, can give you
the practical Knowledge of the real thing...
So God Himself comes to give practical
Knowledge of His divinity, of His inner self,
which is self-effulgent light, eternal light,
all-pervading light. And the Supreme Master,
the Satguru, gives practical Knowledge of
that light, irrespective of caste, creed,
color, religion or sex, to those human
individuals who bow before him with
reverence, with love and with faith."
(Mataji
- Maharaji's mother - Panespo, Neuchatel,
Switzerland - Who Is Guru Maharaj Ji, Page
296-297)
"Just
see, today this word 'guru' has become a
ridiculous term, a sort of a joke and people
do not know what is a 'guru'. When I fly a
plane in India, I often listen to the radio
in the cockpit. There are talks going on
between various pilots in the vicinity.
Somebody would address: ''Well Guru, how are
you?" Because they do not know the true
meaning and implications. They don't
understand the glory of a guru and Master.
Because they have forgotten altogether. They
have made such pseudo-guru who have put the
whole system to disrepute. For instance, in
schools they don't know the correct meaning
of a couplet like:
The radiance radiated from my beloved is of
suds an amazing hue ...
They say, "oh yes, because Kabir saw a sort
of redness..."
But what sort of redness was
it? Such so-called gurus have marred the
reputation of this institution. It has been
ruined. Actually the guru is such a
personality about whom it is said:
«
I bow down to the lotusfeet of my Guru
Maharaji, who is the ocean of mercy and is
actually Hari (God) himself in human
form,
And whose words are like sunbeams to disperse
the accumulated darkness of gross ignorance.
»
So Tulsidas says that he bows down to such a
Guru Maharaji, the Master, who is really
Hari (Supreme Power) in the form of man.
So the main thing to understand here is that
he bows down to the feet of that guru whose
utterances, whose expressions are able to
illuminate. And what is that which is
illuminated by his words? It is the heart
which is illuminated. His words are able to
sever and dispel the spidery web of illusion,
infatuation and ignorance. This I have seen
myself and realized in my own heart. Yes, in
my heart!"

AND
now I'll tell you of devotion. Devotion is a
two-way ticket. But with this two-way ticket,
you don't go there to Mukti (Liberation). You
don't go to that place. You don't go to
liberation, but you stay here and this is
devotion.
Every benefit that you were supposed to have
in liberation, you will get. That means being
away from Karma, away from actions and always
in the bliss, and the radiance of the Lord.
That place will be given to you while you are
on the earth with the Lord; with the human
form, with the physical presence of the Lord.
That is called devotion.
As long as the devotee
is there, the Lord can project devotion out
of him. Understood ? You know, if there is no
devotee, how can there be devotion ? Can
there be devotion without devotee ? How can
there be ? There can't. So, if there is
devotion, there has to be devotee. Have you
understood now ?
And if there has to be devotee, he has to be
in a physical form. A devotee has to devote
something. Have you understood now ? To
devote something, he has to be in a physical
form. And where is it possible for him to be
in physical form ? On the earth. And
with whom can he be in the physical form ?
With the Lord, who is in His physical
form ! He has to be with the Physical
Lord who has come into this physical world
with a Physical Body. Understood.
(Guru Maharaj Ji - Essen, Germany - August
31, 1975)
GOD
made two things, two cars - one automatic,
one manual. One who has devoted whole life to
Guru Maharaj Ji, they are in manual
condition. It is in my hand to put them in
gear. No desire.
Other is automatic. Gear is there. Gear has
to be shifted. Those who have not yet devoted
to me for all life. Powers you have that
create desires. Those desires can be good or
bad. You must see what to do with desires
that are good, and those that are bad.
In manual, I shift to gear after gear, but
automatic does what it likes. Gears have been
put, now there is only an accelerator. You
will have to be like this premie, to devote
your whole life to me.
Agya is the only accelerator. If you want to
be in manual, there has to be a clutch. When
you press it, the car is free from all the
gears. Not just mahatmas are in manual. Is
this premie Mahatma ? No. But he is in
manual. I am the clutch freeing him from the
gears or putting him in action.
To be in clutch, leave all,
and come here. If you are still in automatic,
clutch and brake are combined. In automatic,
only the Agya is the accelerator.
To be in manual or automatic is not up to
you. It is your part to play. I am the gear
box.
In first surrender, there are four gears. In
second surrender, there are only two
gears.
That depends on me what gear I want you to
work. Everything depends on me. Not even a
leaf moves a millimetre without my
wish.
(Guru Maharaj Ji, March 13,
1971)
Note:
The following quote is a full plagiary of the
Bhagavad Gita (Chapter IX, X, XI), forged
with excerpts of this famous Indian
Scripture.
"Do
you need me? I am with you.
You can't see me, though I'm the light
that allows you too see me. You can't
hear me though I talk through your
voice. You can't feel me, though I'm
the power that works in your hands. I'm
working within you though you ignore my
paths. I'm working though you don't recognize
my work.
I'm not a strange vision. I'm not a mystery -
only in absolute silence beyond the
personality that you seem to be; and then
only like a feeling and like faith. Still
I'm with you, still I hear you, still I can
answer you.
When you need me, I'm with you and I
help you. In the moments in which you think
you only find yourself, I'm with you. Even in
your fears. Even in your pain, even when you
meditate and when you don't meditate. I'm
within you and you're within me. Only in
your mind are the problems of 'mine' and
'yours', but still only with your mind you
can know and perceive me.
Empty your heart of ignorant fears because
apart from your personality, in between, I
will be with you. By yourself, you cannot
do anything, but I can do everything.
Though you cannot see the good - The good
is there. Because I am there, because I
have to be, because I am everything. Only
in me the world has meaning. Only when
you are in me, the world will take it's true
shape. Only because I am the law, in which
rests the movement of the stars and the
growth of each living cell.
I am the love that is the fulfillment of the
law; I am safety; I am your peace; I am
everything. Though you fail finding me, I
never fail finding you. Though your faith in
me is insecure, my faith in you never
vanishes. Though you give your faith and love
senselessly to others, My love is only for
you, because I know you, because I love
you."
(Guru Maharaji Ji, Speaking to IDP Group -
February,
1982)
Look
it's beyone liberation. It's beyond all those
things. Beyond all concepts. In this
lifetime, we have the opportunity to realize,
to be with GURU MAHARAJ JI. Be it not GURU
MAHARAJ JI - You know maybe they didn't call
him GURU MAHARAJ JI - Maybe they called him
Lord, anything to be with that power. To be
with that thing. To be not infinite. And yet
to be with the infinite. To be here as
individuals. And yet to be able to be next
to the person who is everything, GURU
MAHARAJ JI. The Lord all
powerful.....

It's

Answers
from Guru Maharaj Ji, 15 Year Old Perfect
Master.
Who is Guru Maharaj Ji?
I have not come to establish a new
religion or sect, but I have come to give you
Knowledge of Truth. If you come to me with a
guileless heart you will surely receive this
most ancient spiritual Knowledge, which, if
practised upon, will give us perfect peace of
mind.
Jesus gave us this Knowledge, Krishna gave
us this Knowledge, but now we must look again
for a new Master to show us the light.
The sun comes and goes away but we don't look
for the light of day which has just gone. We
look for the new rising sun. The sun is
there, but it rises in a new beautiful way,
and we look for that. In the same way, God is
the same, but now we look for him to come, in
a new way, to give this Knowledge.
What is a Perfect Master?
When we say 'Perfect Master', this is what we
mean. A man who teaches you math, you call
him a math master. A man who teaches you
science, you call him a science master. A man
who teaches you perfectness, you call him a
Perfect Master.

Portland, Oregon, June 29, 1972.

Because the more we surrender, the more
that Grace will be able to flow. And the
more that Grace will be able to flow, then
the more satsang, service and meditation
will be able to manifest in our
life.
We
read the scriptures without understanding
what they are saying. Indian people read the
Bhagavad Gita, and where Lord Krishna, the
living master of his time, said clearly,
"Don't recognize me by my external
appearance for this is perishable. My true
form has no beginning and no end. And
you, Arjuna, cannot meditate with these
external eyes. For how can you see the
imperishable with that which must die? How
can you behold the infinite through the
finite? But I can open up your divine eye
with which you can see my divine
form."
(Maharaj
Ji on the 29th of April, 1972, in
Johannesburg, South Africa. The Perfect One
is Here)
The
greatest problem all around the world today,
whether in America, Japan, China, Russia,
India or anywhere else in the world, is that
people are not in peace. People want peace.
Today, if two people fight, the government is
supposed to settle them down. But when
governments fight, who is going to settle
them down? The only one who can settle the
governments down is the Perfect Master, the
incarnation of God Himself, who comes to
Earth to save mankind.
