1987-07-12 e1: fanaticism (Shri Guru Puja, Shudy Camp, UK)

...It’s mostly ego part which says, “This is spontaneous,“ with so many people. Specially the very old Sahaja Yogis think they are authorities on spontaneity. Like, we had a land in Vaitarna. So one of the older ones went there and he said, “This land is vibrating and this is not vibrating.” So everybody accepted, “All right, all right, all right.“ Then they said, “In this part of the land nobody should eat their food.” Now, from where does this knowledge come? Eating food is not a sin, is it? As if it is a sin that you are eating food in there! Then religiously they follow a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, z and again a, b, c, d of Sahaja Yoga to such an extent, I start thinking now they have become another fanatic Sahaja Yogis. Fanaticism is against Sahaja Yoga absolutely. Now they’ll ask, “How many times we should say this mantra?” Then I say, “Zero times.” “How many drops we should put, the ghee, in our nose?” Then I say, “A full jug.” Then, “Oh, I should not have gone from the left side, I went, I should have gone from the right side.” Then, I would say, “You just jump up.” You have to be like children. But the ideas are so settled down in Sahaja Yoga, now it’s so many years of course, but they should not settle down. If they settle down, it’s not Sahaja, it’s not spontaneous. “If you do this way, then it is wrong. That way it’s wrong“ – nothing of the kind. Nothing is wrong for you people. If you do anything wrong, your vibrations will be lost, finished. What is there to be so cautious? ...
