Thank you sincerely, Mohanji, for this conversation. For some reason, an image that I saw on the internet comes to mind\u2014you are in meditation with ash covering your head and face. I&#8217;d like to understand the process \u2018scientifically\u2019 or biologically, that generated this because meditation is taking place in the body, and spiritual states are said to be aligned with biochemical transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> Thank you for the question. I cannot explain this scientifically because I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ll tell you what happened that day. This was probably a day before my birthday or one or two days before my birthday in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a similar experience where there was some ash coming from my head or ash-like things coming from my head. That was a few months ago, and I was with one Swami*, one spiritual Master, and he told me, \u201cDon\u2019t cut your hair. There\u2019s something substantial going to happen.\u201d That was a few months before this incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That particular day, I had gone from my house to this Swami\u2019s place in Kerala, and there was some program going on. I can\u2019t remember fully, well, what exactly the program was, but it was a children\u2019s program performed in front of this saint, this Swami. He was watching, and he told me, \u201cYou sit next to me.\u201d So, I sat with him, but at that time, I was feeling very dizzy, blurry, a kind of flow feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was feeling unwell. My mind was clogged, and I couldn\u2019t see well. I felt nauseous. I told Swami, \u201cI can&#8217;t sit here; I can\u2019t even see the program well.\u201d Because it was almost blurred, my eyes were blurred. I told the Swami, \u201cI can&#8217;t sit here. I must go.\u201d He said, \u201cNo, let\u2019s go together. Let\u2019s have some fresh air.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we both got out of that particular space, and we were walking, and Swami was telling me something, but I was feeling very nauseous and unwell. Then I told him, \u201cI&#8217;m not feeling too well.\u201d He said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, come with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mohanji-as-Shiva.png\" alt=\"Mohanji-Shiva-interview\" class=\"wp-image-27682\" width=\"293\" height=\"362\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He took me to one of those houses where his devotees used to stay at, like a cottage, a small house. I only remember me entering there, and I sat on a chair which was in the front room. As soon as I entered, I sat on a chair at the table. That\u2019s all I remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I felt very expanded. I was feeling complete brightness. I didn\u2019t feel the body. High-density brightness \u2013 actually, I was only light and very soothing, very, very mild, like a flowing light. I was spread all over the place like it wasn\u2019t just the room. I couldn\u2019t even feel the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was all over the place, and it was almost like I spread on the entire universe. I was spread on the entire universe. <strong>I could feel the planets, the galaxies, everything inside me like it was all moving inside me. The Sun looked like just a lamp &#8211; that small. I was feeling so expanded and so beautiful.<\/strong> I can\u2019t even explain the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completely unbound, completely free and expanded, and it\u2019s not easy to translate that state into words. Then, what I remember &#8211; a few hours later, I don&#8217;t know how much time passed, but easily three or four hours, I feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, I could vaguely hear this Swami\u2019s voice calling people outside. There are other cottages around. \u201cHey, come over, come over; Shiva has appeared! Shiva appeared!\u201d Or \u201cShiva happened\u201d- rough translation from Malayalam. \u201cShiva is here!\u201d or something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People were coming, and then I could actually start feeling my body, and there were flashbulbs. There were flashing lights, and I could feel the body at that time. Then when I opened my eyes, there were a few people around me, and they were clicking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said that that\u2019s the time when one of the pictures when pictures were taken where you can see ash flowing from the head. I\u2019ve no clue how the ash happened. I\u2019ve no clue whether such experiences produce ash. There\u2019s no explanation for this because I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was the state the picture was in, and apparently, a lot of ash came. Then they collected the entire ash from my head. They said this is Shiva\u2019s ash &#8211; very, very pure, and it was taken out, and many people took it. I also got a bit of it, and we took it home. That was the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*(Swami\u2019s name and place not revealed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Science and spirituality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot explain many things in spirituality in terms of science because science hasn\u2019t reached there. See, first of all, the gross and the subtle; this is the thing. <strong>Science usually connects to the gross. Life is a marriage between the gross and the subtle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gross and the subtle &#8211; subtle is the soul and the energy aspect, the soul aspect, the mind aspect. That\u2019s the subtle, and gross is the physical aspect, which is tangible. So, <strong>this coming together is what we call life, and when they detach or when they come out, when the subtle leaves the body, leaves the gross, that\u2019s what we call death<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many things connect to the subtle. We don\u2019t know scientifically, but we can experience it. That experience cannot usually be translated into words. So, there are various things &#8211; this Swami explained that my entire karma was over. All that was remaining had become ash, and everything has gone now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all, his explanation. We don\u2019t have to take any explanations. The effect was this, and ever after, it never happened. There were only two times it happened. One was before, and one was this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:32% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"538\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mohanji-20.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-subtle-gross\" class=\"wp-image-27684 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Life is a marriage between the gross and the subtle. When the subtle leaves the body, leaves the gross, that&#8217;s what we call death.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8211; Mohanji<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, I didn\u2019t cut my hair. I mean, I trimmed my hair many times, but I started growing my hair because that\u2019s what he told me. It was important for my grounding and for my balance to have this hair growing. So, I just followed what he said; I didn\u2019t ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, I don\u2019t ask \u2018why\u2019 to any Master. When they say something, I just follow it because they know better than me; they can see better. I don\u2019t think; I just follow. This is my usual habit because many times when we ask \u2018why\u2019, we are stopping in time; time doesn\u2019t stop for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time keeps moving. When we stop in time to analyze, we miss something very precious.<\/strong> That\u2019s what my experience is. So, I keep moving. This is my answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> This is utterly beautiful. Did this happen during your sadhana, or was it a spontaneous occurrence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> It was during the sadhana, but this was a spontaneous occurrence. I used to do serious sadhana during those times. Every day I used to get up at 2:30 a.m. I used to do meditations until 7:30, 8:00, 8:30, or sometimes up to 9:00 continuously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was seriously connecting to myself, seriously dipping into the silent zone &#8211; it means no thought state. This was happening at that time, and I think it was a culmination of all that. It means you dig a lot in the ground. After a lot of digging, you get water. So, it&#8217;s like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was digging and digging and digging every day for a long period of time, almost six years, from 2000 to 2006. Or this happened in seven; I think, 2007. So, until then, it was digging, digging, digging &#8211; all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spiritual transformation and keeping the faith<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> What was the main transformation as a result of your spiritual life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> I moved from the world of noise; <strong>I was actually one of the noises in the world of noises, and from there, I found silence. Then I came back to the world of noises as silence. That was the main transformation or the point which made Mohanji a factor in the world.<\/strong> That, I think, is the most important thing as far as I can say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> Can you please share some words of encouragement for practitioners because many of us lose heart on the path and give up on daily practices? We are trying to reach what is invisible, as we are so dominated by the senses, and therefore yearning for proof or wanting some tangibility. How does one keep the faith on the path to God-realization?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> We cannot keep faith in anything apart from us. What we need to do is to keep faith in us. We keep asking for proof and for answers, etc., which sometimes only satisfies the mind. It doesn&#8217;t satisfy our spiritual urges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many times, what you cannot say or what you cannot be is what cannot be explained, or what you cannot explain is what the truth is. The truth is omnipresence, and for that, you can\u2019t really have any kind of conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Faith-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-faith\" class=\"wp-image-27686\" width=\"417\" height=\"417\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can ask the relevant question for your progress, \u201cWhat next? Or how to go further?\u201d That\u2019s good because then you&#8217;re taking a step forward with that answer. But <strong>asking for the sake of questioning slows you down automatically, retards your journey<\/strong>. It kind of paralyses you. Many people are only operating on the mind level. They keep asking questions, but they don&#8217;t take a step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> I think that\u2019s the difficulty I mention. Many of us are not functioning beyond the mind but have to keep faith in that which is beyond it, to keep \u2018faith in us\u2019 as you say, without experiencing it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> Now, <strong>how do you maintain your craving for liberation? That\u2019s very simple. You need to create a real purpose in life.<\/strong> What do you want to achieve with this life? There\u2019s always a struggle with the patterns. Everybody has it; each person goes through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We all have our inherent patterns, which produce desires, inclinations, tendencies, and karma, and that keep coming back to us. That keeps reminding us, pulling us back.<\/strong>&nbsp;That can&#8217;t be avoided; we cannot avoid them. <strong>It&#8217;s important that we need to keep our purpose on experiencing something larger and more beautiful and more permanent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you focus on that, if you keep your focus clearly on that aspect, then the lower drops off and the need to ask questions itself gets dissolved. Otherwise, we keep asking questions, but we don\u2019t move forward. The analysis leads to paralysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, mainly what we need to follow or what we need to concentrate on is the experience part, which is a silent spot. Silence is inside; happiness is inside; feeling is inside. We\u2019ve to connect to the feelings, to the happiness, to the silence inside. <strong>Silence simply means a lack of thoughts, fewer thoughts, that\u2019ll lead to more and more happiness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When desires are gone, we are completely happy. When desires are there, we\u2019ve to satisfy them, and again another desire comes again, satisfy it &#8211; like that, it keeps going. But when you\u2019re fully connected to yourself, and you don\u2019t need much from the outside apart from the basic needs, you are already free; you are already liberated. You can actually experience that liberation by living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These kinds of things will inspire you, but for that, you need to have discipline. It means every day you should conduct yourself and meditate. Even if you\u2019re sleeping in the middle of the night, you should get up early. Use the Brahma muhurta well &#8211; 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. Meditate properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meditate simply &#8211; it means to connect to yourself, feel yourself, love yourself, respect yourself, accept yourself and always maintain your conscience intact. These things will help you to stabilize, practising in the morning especially.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Purpose-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-purpose\" class=\"wp-image-27688\" width=\"495\" height=\"329\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep asking questions: \u201cIs this me? Is my anger me? Are my frustrations me, my disappointments? Uncertainty, is it me?\u201d Keep asking such questions, and the answer will come as \u201cNo. No. No,\u201d each time. Then \u201cWhat am I?\u201d Then you\u2019ll realize that you are that which produces all these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until you reach there, keep digging; keep going inside. This is possible, but that discipline and determination are very vital in the beginning. After a while, when you\u2019ve already achieved, when you\u2019ve reached that state, then you don\u2019t have to really worry; the state takes you forward. So, this is my answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You need to have discipline and don\u2019t look at anybody outside because, at the end of the day, it\u2019s a communion with yourself that takes you to the highest point. <\/strong>You are communing with yourself; you\u2019re connecting with yourself through acceptance. Acceptance is the path; personal acceptance, personal respect, personal love &#8211; this you\u2019ve to nurture, solidify and cultivate further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Effect of Masters on our lives<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong>&nbsp;Recently, many of your discourses have been on Shirdi Baba due to your own numerous experiences with him. Though a repeat question, perhaps, how would you understand his personality? He cautioned against regarding him as a merely physical entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> How do you know when somebody is relevant in your life? When they start making an effect in your life. So, it\u2019s very important that we have people &#8211; tangible people, living with us, relations who make an effect in our life, who create an effect in our life. The tangible, or sometimes not-so-tangible beings who create an effect in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the Masters of the past are like that: Krishna, Rama, Buddha, Jesus, Shirdi Sai Baba, and all these Masters, Babaji and many Masters are there. They all still create an impact on people&#8217;s lives. They guide people, they touch their lives positively, they take them out of problems and troubles, they give them guidance, and they also nurture love and kindness in the hearts of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The relevance of any being, whether they are tangible or intangible, is the effect they create in our life. That\u2019s the only criteria we need to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:34% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"491\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mohanji-15-1.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-master-effect\" class=\"wp-image-27690 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Every Master, every teacher, every guide, every friend, or every relative has created some effect and is creating an effect in our life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite><strong>&#8211; Mohanji<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Why are thousands and thousands of people coming to Shirdi? Why are thousands and thousands of people going to Sabarimala? To Lord Guruvayurappan, to Vaishno Devi, and various places which attract people &#8211; why do they go there? Because there\u2019s a tangible result. These beings or those energies sitting there or operating out of that place are making a deep impact and a result in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the reason why they go. We don\u2019t have to analyse; we don\u2019t have to know how they operate. It doesn&#8217;t matter; how is not important. Is it making an impact? Or is this particular connection creating an impact in a positive way or a negative way? But negative is not what we are discussing now &#8211; in a positive way in our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If yes, that\u2019s true for us; <strong>every Master, every teacher, every guide, every friend, or every relative has created some effect and is creating an effect in our life<\/strong>. Their relevance, or each and everyone\u2019s relevance, is based on their impact, effect or presence in our lives, what their presence makes in our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, we can consider Baba as a close relative, ally, father, mother, or anything because he&#8217;s walking with us or his energy is supporting us, making us function, and protecting us. So, he is indeed a part of our household or system, especially mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mohanji&#8217;s relationship with Shirdi Sai Baba<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> In my life, too, due to his blessings and experiences that have taken my life forward in a certain direction unexpectedly. Please share your most outstanding experience with Baba. Do you consider Baba to be your guru?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> The most outstanding experience, as far as I can say, there are many, but one of the things was in 2014 &#8211; a group of people turned against me and scandalized me, trying to paralyze my entire activity. That time I was taking a flight to Toronto, and I was at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was actually getting to the gate to board, and I got a message saying that the people who were supposed to receive me in Toronto weren\u2019t doing that anymore because they decided not to support me. I had only one choice &#8211; to move forward or backwards. I decided to go further, and a few people, three or four people, came to pick me up whom I didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t know them before they came to pick me up, and they took me to their house. Very kind people, very good people; they took me to their house, and then the next day, they took me to the Shirdi Sai temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mohanji-12-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-saibaba-relationship\" class=\"wp-image-27692\" width=\"454\" height=\"302\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There I met one lady, and Baba apparently spoke to her, saying that Mohanji was coming to take care of him. So, Baba was doing his work, and he provided that platform for me because when I had nobody, Baba was there for me. Then I went to the temple, took the darshan of Baba, and the first <em>Satsang<\/em> ever in Toronto was in the temple of Shirdi Sai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we have our own Shirdi Sai temple in Toronto. From 2014 to 2018 or now, we already have our space and our temple. So, Baba provided everything. <strong>When there\u2019s nobody with you, or even people whom you trusted, walk away and show their back towards you, then still Baba holds your hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that was a big one. You can\u2019t even explain the kind of relief and comfort I got when after reading the message that the people who were supposed to receive me weren\u2019t coming anymore, and then I realized that I was actually walking into darkness. Then you get such a welcome and such support from Baba. Baba arranged for the people to take care of me, and then the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connection to a Master<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yes, you\u2019ve shared and continue to share so many beautiful experiences that help to instil faith. How do alignment and choice happen with a certain Master? So many paths and Masters are available to people. How to be certain of a fit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> Frequency; frequency connection. We cannot choose based on our eyes, ears, nose, or any of the senses, nor the mind, nor the acquired knowledge. We don&#8217;t understand the Master using our acquired knowledge, the knowledge which we collected from schools, from teachers, from religion, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We don\u2019t understand any Master, but our frequency, the feeling &#8211; we can trust frequency matching.<\/strong> You feel like connecting; you feel like meeting; you\u2019ll feel like being with that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember, there are no Masters in a real sense. There are only people who are operating from a different frequency which might suit you and that you call a Master. If that person\u2019s operating level is your aspiration, he\u2019s your Master. If that person\u2019s operating level is not your aspiration, he means nothing to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is connected to us, our frequency and the other frequency which suits this frequency. <strong>Every connection is based on frequency.<\/strong> There are many Masters, but we can&#8217;t connect to all of them, and we don\u2019t have to connect to all of them because they are all different frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frequency-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-frequency\" class=\"wp-image-27694\" width=\"472\" height=\"314\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We connect to only those frequencies which suit us, which we\u2019ll feel good, we\u2019ll feel great, we\u2019ll feel the purpose completed, or we\u2019ll feel that we are on the right track.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That feeling is what you can trust, but you should take time. Don\u2019t be in a hurry to connect to any Master. <strong>Never ever connect to any Master based on somebody\u2019s recommendation.<\/strong> You can go test and come back. Unless you feel that connection, that\u2019s not yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making a stable connection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong>&nbsp;I\u2019ve watched another segment on YouTube wherein you speak of the same thing, i.e., frequency and vibration, as a fundamental principle of life. So, the next question that arises is: how to keep frequency positive and high?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong>&nbsp;Connect. Number one &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>connect to those with higher frequencies. Connect to stable people and stable minds, and always connect.<\/strong>&nbsp;It may not be easy because we&#8217;re a fluctuating mind. Connecting to a stable mind isn&#8217;t easy because there&#8217;s a lack of compatibility. So, the fluctuating mind should take extra effort to connect to the stable mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A stable mind is steady; It&#8217;s like a pillar. You&#8217;ve to hold on to the pillar and keep connecting;<\/strong> that&#8217;s number one. Second, <strong>connect to yourself more<\/strong>. It means not what you are in the world outside. Instead, what you are essence\u2013wise, that you connect more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that, you need to do contemplation. You need to ask questions &#8211; am I the fluctuating mind? Am I the emotions? Am I the notions, the thoughts? Am I the requirements, desires, inclinations, tendencies, or inhibitions? Am I all this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions should be normally asked when you sit down early in the morning. You ask these questions and try to contemplate on them; contemplate more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get to know who you are; that\u2019ll give you stability. So, the two ways I said &#8211; one is connected to somebody who&#8217;s very stable. That takes time; you need to spend time; you need to connect sincerely and consistently for a long period of time. You\u2019ll not know whether the person is consistent immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stable-connection-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-stable-connection\" class=\"wp-image-27696\" width=\"411\" height=\"411\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistent means stable immediately. Consistencies may change, and sometimes they just respond spontaneously. In your own house, you can see consistent, stable minds \u2013 children. When they&#8217;re very small, they&#8217;re very consistent and very stable, you know? When they grow older, when they develop their ego, then they are inconsistent and unstable because they gather a lot of input from outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather you gather input from inside. Feel your body; feel your vibrations. Feel your breath circulations, breathing, and your thought processes &#8211; feel everything. That\u2019ll make you more stable. <strong>One is external stability &#8211; connecting to a stable master. One is internal connectivity &#8211; a stable connection inside, which\u2019ll give you stability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of spiritual progress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> What are the signs of true progress on the spiritual path?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> Inner silence. <strong>Inner silence you cannot mistake, or you cannot miss because when thoughts are getting reduced, and when your connection with yourself is more and more, the deep love and respect you feel for yourself, you cannot miss it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the inner connection is very strong, and the only purpose becomes God, and thoughts or desires start aligning towards that particular requirement or particular desire, and the thoughts of a terrestrial nature start dropping off, dissolving, those signs you cannot miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many things inside which tell you if you\u2019re on the right track. It\u2019s nothing to do with the Guru, nothing to do with the place, or nothing to do with activity. It has nothing to do with anything except the connection with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Total acceptance, connection, conviction, and the Guru &#8211; the beacon of the light, the point of contact, the aspiration, and the personification of aspiration;<\/strong>&nbsp;that\u2019s where you walk, and you\u2019ll realize you are on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The source of our thoughts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> So, a sign that spiritual practices are working is that thoughts decrease, which brings me to \u2018thought\u2019 itself. We are utterly at the mercy of \u2018thoughts\u2019 many times, believing every thought to be a reality without any separation from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thoughts seem to be an expression of our noblest selves, our most creative and positive selves, and thoughts can instigate wars, and all that is awful in the world. Do thoughts come from the outside or inside? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s from outside, what\u2019s the mechanism within that receives and translates it into language? Are these waves? If from inside, how are they generated and customized for every individual?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong>&nbsp;Thoughts happen from inside, predominantly from memories.&nbsp;<strong>All the thoughts have their source from memories, from experiences.<\/strong>&nbsp;We gather memories, we store them, and we bring thoughts out of them. All that we do in the world &#8211; every interaction, every decision &#8211; they all have a background of memories with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memories also include fears and knowledge that you receive from the outside world. All these things are memories; they produce our thoughts. That&#8217;s number one. Then when we are very receptive, we can also feel the thoughts of others, or vibrations of others, frequencies of others, that can be migrating thoughts. They migrate into you, or you can probably connect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mohanji.org\/blogs\/satsangs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Thoughts-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"mohanji-thoughts\" class=\"wp-image-27698\" width=\"494\" height=\"329\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why sometimes when you sit with a lot of angry people, you also tend to get angry. When you sit with a lot of people who are pessimistic, you also tend to get pessimistic because you try to collect or you spontaneously collect their frequencies into you. However, naturally, mainly, or predominantly, all the thoughts come from memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> All spiritual places are becoming more and more commercial, whether Tirupati or Shirdi. Greed, product selling, commercialization, etc., have been on the rise, but the deity or saint remains above it. How can we navigate between these two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> We have to completely ignore the aspects which are not our frequency and completely connect to the frequency which is suitable for us. There are so many things happening around us, and they may affect us, but we should always take that as one more step towards overcoming our own minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we need to do is we should go through the process. We should go through all these troubles and tribulations, but at the same time, keep our focus on the truth that we are pursuing, and the truth stays waiting for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Usha:<\/strong> What&#8217;s your spiritual mission in this lifetime?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohanji:<\/strong> Raising the awareness of the people around me as much as I can and giving them stability and contentment &#8211; complete fulfilment in this life so that they don\u2019t have to take any more lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally published on <em>The POV<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-pov.com\/mohanji\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.the-pov.com\/mohanji<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Proofread by Yogesh Pandit<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I moved from the world of noise; I was actually one of the noises in the world of noises, and from there, I found silence.
