1983 0315 The Spirit, The Source of Joy

Original talk: Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne (Australia) 15/3/1983 Excerpt highlighted by the app: “Every Day with Shri Mataji” for Android ________________________________________________________________________ Now regarding the Spirit, the last and the highest thing that it is the source of joy. Joy has no duality, it doesn’t have happiness and unhappiness. That is the ego; when the ego is pampered, it feels happy, when it is hurt it feels unhappy So it (the spirit) has nothing to do with that duality; it’s in joy. Say a sensible man is watching a tragedy or a comedy as a drama he enjoys both, he doesn’t get involved into it. In the same way, you enjoy life without getting involved into it and the life becomes a source of joyous living. So the joy that you feel is rather late in the western minds, (the) reason is the mind of the western people is over-developed, and the heart is less-developed. But say in a place where people are developing now, they’re developing their brains now, developing countries, the heart is more developed. So they feel the joy first and they are not bothered about knowing about the brain. But the Western mind will first of all see: is it true or not? Yes, it’s true, then it will go and see this fellow, let me see the vibrations of a tree, of a doggy, this, that. They go on analyzing everything, see with the vibrations of this photograph, of this sari, of that clothes. They go on like mad, they go on, first analyzing it, then when they get out of it, they settle down then they find the kundalini is fixed here and the source of joy starts pouring, just like the river Ganges. It pours actually physically. You feel that what we call the (…?) is the rising of the hair when you feel that joy falling from your head, just like the Ganges falls on Shiva. When you see a beautiful picture, say you see a Mona Lisa, you think this Leonardo Da Vinci, what he must have done, how much it will cost, this, that, all those things. But a realised soul does not think, he just looks, looks at it without thinking. The joy of the creation of that beautiful painting absolutely is reflected in his mind like in a ripple-less lake; all that is surrounding, it is completely reflected. That’s how the sense of beauty and aesthetics change absolutely.
