Babuji Maharaj on Faith: Some Gems from Sahaj Marg

When suffering is endured with faith and a determination to face up to it, it becomes an unparalleled asset. The best is thus achieved. Each person has his or her own karma and must cope with it. 

The sufferings of the animal and plant worlds are great, and moreover they are not understood by humans as they should be. The plant kingdom is the most helpless, having no means of expression that can be perceived by the human race. 

Courage and perseverance are major assets. When faith and spiritual commitment support a person on a daily basis, everything becomes more bearable, allowing each one to grow. 

--- Babuji Maharaj

Observations: Aren't these real gems of statements from the Master of Shri Ram Chandra Mission. How much humanity and divinity must co-exist in one single person to make such beautiful statements. The current Master, Shri Kamlesh D. Patel has also spoken of faith as one of the highest virtue and extolled the need for faith and acceptance in an abhyasi's life as paramount spiritual traits. 

Is SRCM Sahaj Marg a Sect?

Sahaj Marg is not a path that is restrictive, closed or sectarian. Some principles are adhered to, which is normal, but it is accessible to all. It will always keep growing over time, supported in this by new methods that permit an easy elevation that generates the best. Spirituality is slowly winning over hearts in a manner that is natural and feasible for all. We wish for the spiritual development of our brothers and sisters, without any sectarian constraints. A genuine commitment of the heart is much more productive for everyone than overly strict rules that do not really promote the progress of the seeker. Only the call of the heart is decisive. - Babuji Maharaj

My observations: It is very clear from this above statements, that Babuji makes about Sahaj Marg. There is nothing sectarian about it. There are obviously some principles of Sahaj Marg, which mainly deal with practical aspects and value based system, which are essential for the spiritual growth of the seeker, but it is open to all and purely a heart based system. Kamlesh D. Patel, the current Master is taking this system of Sahaj Marg offered by Shri Ram Chandra Mission, to greater heights by making things more accessible. As referred to it above, "new methods" will help in expansion. 

Sahaj Connect: Connect with Sahaj Marg

'Sahaj Connect' mobile app is now available and it is really helping out all the abhyasis around the world to take meditation sittings from SRCM Preceptors whenever they want. SRCM Preceptors download this app into their smartphones and they can say whether they are available or unavailable. A list of available SRCM preceptors in the geography of choice is displayed when a Sahaj Marg abhyasi logs into his side of the app. From that list, he can choose an available SRCM preceptor and request for a sitting. Right then and there, the abhyasi of Shri Ram Chandra Mission is getting his sitting.

Interestingly, our current Master of SRCM, Kamlesh D. Patel has also been using this app extensively and he has been giving sittings to abhyasis who request him from this app. Lucky are those who can get a meditation session with the Master directly and it is worthwhile to note that latest technologies can also be used for productive and positive things. Imagine, that now, one can simply use this app and receive a meditation sitting with transmission wherever he may be. It can be so helpful to abhyasis who are traveling. Our beloved Master Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari, Chariji Maharaj, would be so happy to know that such a thing is being made possible now.

Sensitivity (Sahaj Marg Meditation of SRCM)

Once Rev. Babuji Maharaj asked few Prefects to go to Fategarh to Rev. Lalaji Maharaj's samadhi. Dr. KCV, M.L. Chaturvedi, SKR and few more including Chariji Maharaj went there. Dr.KCV conducted Satsangh there.

After they returned,  Rev.Babuji Maharaj asked them how was the sitting.  Each one said something very good....

Finally Chariji's turn came and He was feeling awkward. He told Babuji Maharaj, " Actually Babuji,  I am sorry to say that I didn't feel anything.. " 

Rev. Babuji Maharaj said," sabbash,  Parthasarathi. You are right. What is there? Everything is only here! "

Our current Master of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, Kamlesh D. Patel has commented on Sensitivity extensively and emphasized its need in our lives as abhyasis and preceptors. 

Benefits of Heartfulness (Sahaj Marg Meditation offered by Shri Ram Chandra Mission)

Internal skills development such as clarity of mind, self-confidence, empathy, awareness and focus are just a few of the benefits of Heartfulness relaxation and meditation. Our unique cleaning technique helps in liberating oneself from those hard to get rid of habits and tendencies. We also experience higher energy in our activities and a great sense of purpose and fulfillment. In a nutshell, it strengthens our strengths, weakens our weaknesses and makes us more holistic.

Master Kamlesh Patel was recently talking about how to explain meditation to new comers and he was talking about using a simple scientific approach to explain the benefits of meditation. Keep the talk to a necessary minimum and let people experience the transmission. 

Heart Based Meditation (Sahaj Marg meditation offered by SRCM)

“Mens Sana In Corpore Sano” – A sound mind in a sound body: says an old proverb. Once the body is deeply relaxed, the restless tendencies of the mind can be addressed using a very simple and effective Heart based Meditation technique. The mind experiences a stillness it has never seen before and the heart awakens to its fullest potential, enabling the person to experience life in its totality. Master Chariji Maharaj has used this quote so many times in his talks.
