Now, as far as I’m concerned, [America] was the first country, I should say, I visited for any programme. In 1971, I went there. So you can imagine, we got realization on this Sahastrara Day in 1970 and went to America in 1971 and I gave realization to people – no doubt, to many – but what I felt was, that they didn’t care for deeper things, firstly. So we lost many Sahaja Yogis like that. Then there were some people who were sick they wanted their treatment that’s all – nothing more.
Then came some people who were taken away, I should say, by other bombastic gurus who told them lots of stories and they claimed so much, so, so many joined them.
Like that it was, I found that the people were absolutely not prepared for Sahaja Yoga. They were seekers, no doubt, no doubt they were seekers, and they had that restlessness of a seeker, no doubt. But they were not for Sahaja Yoga – they didn’t know what to seek, what to get. That was the part where I felt they were very immature.
So I, after that I didn’t go for 9 years, because I thought, better to devote your time to something else till these people mature and understand what’s wrong with them.
Now, they have been to gurus and they are lost, there are some who have this restlessness still. I see in many things, the articles they write, sometimes the books they write, that there is this kind of a restlessness – which is very important for Sahaja Yogis.
Most of you have been seekers in your last lives and you had this restlessness within you.
