Welcome to Mohanji Speaks.
These are answers to questions from listeners.
Thank you for listening.
This is the final podcast in a three-part podcast series on the topic of unconditional love based on questions from a listener.
This one concludes following on from the question,
How does the unconditional love of a master operate?
The basic thing that changes our patterns,
Our inclinations,
Tendencies,
That's what we entertain.
We fight to keep it.
We don't allow it to be broken.
And that's exactly what should go to connect to yourself.
You are not your patterns.
You are not your patterns.
You are not your inclinations and tendencies.
You are not your desires.
They all come and go.
They don't stay.
So once you understand that,
Just imagine your freedom.
When a master who has understood this,
That is what is mastery.
He has understood life.
He has understood the patterns.
He has understood the likes and dislikes,
Inclinations,
All those things.
When he has become freedom,
When you become something,
How do you look at the world as you are,
Right?
So he has recognized what is real freedom.
He sees the world as freedom.
Acceptance happens.
So he accepts everybody as they are,
Not as he wants them to be.
That is their job.
If a person wants to evolve beyond their mind,
Master is available as a benchmark.
But master never says,
Become me.
What will master say?
I'm available.
Like a mirror.
You can look at me and find yourself.
When you look at the mirror,
You don't see the mirror.
You see yourself,
The image in the mirror and mirror stays neutral.
Mirror never says,
You must look at me or you must look at the mirror.
Your choice.
You go and look at the mirror,
You find yourself.
You see yourself as you are at that time.
That's exactly how the master projects you back.
Master gives you yourself as you are at that time.
You come to a master with anger,
Master will reflect back anger.
You come to a master with love,
Master reflects back love.
As it is,
As you are at that time,
That's what getting reflected.
Another time you come back with a lot of affection,
Love,
Care,
Master becomes that.
So master will be a true mirror always because he has no expectations.
He's total freedom,
Just like a mirror,
Totally free.
If your face is not acceptable to you,
Mirror has nothing to do with it.
Just like that.
If you're not really acceptable to yourself,
Mirror will only project that and you blame the mirror for your face,
That's stupidity.
That's non understanding.
A master operates that way.
Like a true mirror,
Reflects you as you are without expectations.
And mostly we don't like a master because we don't like our own face,
Not because the master is bad.
Master gives you what you are.
Master reflects you as you are.
Same thing,
Same thing.
Society judges a master,
Oh you should not reflect exactly what he is or she is.
You should give something different.
That is said because society manipulates thoughts.
General mind manipulates thoughts.
Means pretense.
Pretension happens right?
Pretension.
You have a thought,
Original thought,
You think again.
Can I actually express this when your mind will say no,
It's inappropriate.
So what happens?
Manipulation happens.
Society has masks,
Face caps.
They mask and provide to the society only what is acceptable,
Which is manipulation basically.
But if like a small child,
If you're able to express to the world your likes and dislikes,
Your things like small children,
Toddlers,
They have no worry about society.
They will cry if they need food.
If they want to sleep,
They will sleep.
They wouldn't care what the society thinks.
That's the true innocent existence.
A master becomes like that.
When you have crossed over your mind,
Your attachment to the world outside,
Your likes and dislikes are in control.
You have no particular interest with the world.
But at the same time you're enjoying the world unconditionally.
Then the master becomes innocent.
That is mastery.
Sign of mastery is innocence.
Like Shiva we say bholenath,
Innocent.
Because he's mastered everything and he's spontaneous,
Spontaneous,
Flexible,
Flowing.
That's mastery.
So they can only reflect what is in front of them.
They cannot be different.
So if you ask a master,
Why are you doing like this?
Why are you not trying to change people coming in front of you?
That's not their problem.
You don't have to change anybody.
You don't have to convert anybody.
You don't have to transform anybody.
You are transformation and that's the message you're giving to the world.
You are contentment.
You are peace.
This message is what you are living and portraying.
Looking at it,
Connecting deeply,
Integrating into their consciousness,
Anybody can change to the same state.
That option and provision is given.
But they are not sitting to convert anybody.
Conversion is a very,
Very ugly thing.
You just change your shirt inside,
You are the same.
That is conversion.
Here it's not that.
Transformation.
Transformation is finding a person.
One who has found himself is a master.
And when connecting to that person,
You found yourself,
Then you attain mastery.
Who will connect to the master completely as he is?
One person,
Rest are all coming with expectations.
So they get only as per their capacities.
That's why conflict happens.
Society accuses a master because society expects things from the master.
It puts frames saying that master should be like this,
Talk like this,
Walk like this,
Behave like this,
Dress like this.
But once you become freedom,
You are a flow.
You're flexible.
To maintain a frame,
You need to have all those mind,
Intellect,
Ego stuff.
You have somehow crossed over.
So how does the master look at the world?
Simple as freedom.
Living,
Walking,
Talking,
Freedom.
Society may not understand freedom.
Society is bound by socio-moral stuff.
If the society believes this is how it should be,
Somebody has said in some books,
Etc.
Individual uniqueness is never accepted or understood.
Associated freedom is also not understood.
I don't mean that freedom means freedom to go and kill somebody.
No,
No violence.
Ahimsa is Paramodharma.
Greatest Dharma is Ahimsa.
Nonviolence.
So that's not the point here.
Freedom is freedom from senses,
Freedom from mind,
Freedom from intellect and ego.
Freedom from the outside world.
Detachment.
This is freedom.
A master lives that.
True master.
True master.
Not the people who have learned books and teaching.
Learning books and teachings are different from experience.
One drop of experience is better than 1000 books.
So when I say a master,
Somebody who has experienced himself,
Found himself as a master.
So this is approximately the answer.
Do discuss this with your friends.
Contemplate on it.
And increase your awareness step by step.
Wish you great success in life.
Lots of love.
This is Mohanji for you.
