We have to establish our self-esteem and we have to respect ourselves and we have to respect others. Because you are all saints and saints have to respect people… I’ve been talking all the time. So you have to respect the saints that you are a saint and another one is a saint. I always give the example of Namadeva. Namadeva was a tailor, the great poet and a great saint. And he went to see another one who’s name was Gora Khumbar who was a potter. And when he went to see him, Gora Khumbar was busy knitting the clay to make the pots, see, just with his feet he was knitting the clay. He looked at him. When he looked at him, he just stood thoughtless. And then the words he says so beautiful, he said: “I have come to see the Nirakara, the Nirguna, the thought…the formless, means the vibrations. I came to see the vibrations but here it is in the form, standing”.
What an appreciation, what an adoration, from one saint to another who have never seen the other person. “But I see the whole of this Nirakara, the Nirguna is in the form of you.” Just think of it. And that is what we have to be. But if we cannot trust other Sahaja Yogis, we cannot love each other, we cannot understand each other that means we are something low, lower than others. Some people have a habit of criticizing all the time: “This is not all right”. They don’t see that there’s something wrong with them within themselves that they are criticizing others.
So there’s no chance for criticizing in Sahaja Yoga, first thing is that you should see yourself what you are and where you stand and how you are going to help yourself first of all. Then you can help others. But there is no need at all to put a critical eye on others. Because then you become good for nothing, you’ve done all the bad things, you see all the bad things in other people and what do you develop is a non-collective personality, which is such a headache to us and ultimately you have to go out of Sahaja Yoga.
