Helping those who are poor in their guru principle

February 25, 1992

Like in Sahaja Yoga I’ve seen people will just [say], “Oh Mother he’s TM”, “Mother he is Rajneesh” like they don’t want to do anything with that person then. “Mother please you see this one is Hari Rama,” like that. Sahaja Yogis develop a kind of a brahmanic character, they don’t want to have anything to do with, “Oh Mother he’s TM; he’s still TM,” it’s very difficult. In Delhi we got a very good fellow from TM only but he came back and told me all that he has gone through and still he has problems. But the other people have seen: “Mother he is TM see.” So what? “But you know we catch from…” Doesn’t matter, you must put him right.

So you have to exert quite a lot, if they have been TM. The best is to have precaution that you tell them that: “All right it is TM you have done, finished with it and come to Sahaja Yoga. But immediate results are not possible. You have to work out because it’s terrible.” And they do get all kinds of pains they have all kinds of troubles. So once they know that all these troubles can be, somehow or other, taken away from their body, they will be very happy to join. So you have to tell that: “Many TM’s have come and have benefited.” Of course that’s a fact also. So many have. But they have only worked on my photographs. The Sahaja Yogis have not worked on them out of you know that, again that attitude.

Anybody used to: “Mother he is a TM.” Before Me they’ll bring him. As if like a sick person they’ll bring him to Me: “So this is a TM. This is this thing”. So as we can help the people who are poor in health we can also help people who are poor in their guru principle, we should. And we should just tell them how to do it with the Photograph. I mean we should be concerned after all, they are also seekers and out of ignorance they have gone there. So if you develop a proper attitude towards the people who are coming to you, new people and understand that there must be some sort of a conditioning on them. So you shouldn’t touch their conditionings but try to explain to them what is what.
