Make the eight powers your friends

 

One who is able to remain peaceful and spread peace is very, very fortunate.

To become such a fortunate one, we need to go into the depth of silence. Go

into the depth of silence until peace really touches the soul. Dive deep.

You will come to know what the experience of sweet silence is. And when

you come out of that experience there will be a smile on your face. Your

heart will say 'I want to keep drinking such sweet silence'. There is a

great deal of power merged in that silence.

 

Then go even deeper and you will experience deep silence. Like pin-drop

silence. Such silence is like when no-one can or even feels to move. Dead

silence is like the silence when someone is dead; not the silence of sorrow

but the silence of happiness. In fact, it is the silence of being

liberated. You experience total liberation. Make it your hobby to

experience this. Once you enjoy the taste of it, you will enjoy it a great

deal. The one who takes themselves to such a level of silence will never

experience sorrow. In fact, they will be the ones who remove the sorrow of

others. The sweet silence they have experienced will have made them very

sweet.

 

There are three things; strength, power and energy. Weak souls need

strength. God tells us to give strength to the weaker ones. When they get

strength, they can have courage. Give them a spiritual injection and they

will get that strength. They will then feel that they are able to do

something. If they are able to do something useful they will lose their

feelings of being disappointed and disheartened. Many people are worried,

one of our tasks is to remove that worry. Your face should be such that it

removes the worry of others. To have such a face, you have to work on your

stage. What do you need to renounce to create such a stage? Laziness.

 

On what basis can I give that strength to others? First, I need to take

strength from God and then, on the basis of the love that I experience from

God, I give to others. To give spiritual power to others is to express the

true love I have for my family. Make your tone of speech such that the

hopeless become hopeful. It is not only an incognito service to the family,

but my duty. One has a duty to their own family. Carry out this duty with

love and see how much power flows both to you and from you.

 

One who has power is able to overcome all situations. We need spiritual

power and we need to use the eight powers. Firstly, the power of

tolerance. Actually, it is the power of remembrance that enables me to

really tolerate. If there is no tolerance power you will never be happy.

Second, the power to pack up. I don't have to make effort but the power

just works. The intellect doesn't go into expansion. It's the sorrow inside

that takes us to expansion. Third, the power to accommodate. This is a

wonderful power through which we feel as if nothing happened at all. There

is total coolness. Fourth, the power to face. What do I have to face? By

using the first three powers, you will find that you actually don't have to

face anything at all.

 

The powers are like friends. When these powers are working with me as

friends I cannot experience problems. Make these powers your companions and

you find that the other powers automatically come into action. The first

four powers come on the basis of knowledge, the other four on the basis of

yoga (Remembrance of God). This is called receiving the rays of light and might

on the basis of gyan and yoga. We have to now make an effort to create our

stage totally

on the basis of gyan and yoga.
