The Power of Silence

Satyagraha & Seva

This is the Satyagraha that Gandhiji undertook. That is how he became fearless, because his path was one of Satya.

When you undertake Satyagraha, you have a cause to being a Rishi. Because you are not afraid, you are completely truthful. Its now that the truth can reveal itself to you.

Until you are untruthful, truth cannot reveal itself. This is the starting point for the commencement of Rishitva. Once you are in a state of truth, when you see something in the world, which you do not understand, you focus on it, contemplate about it and find a way out, to make the world a better place to live in for every body.

Gandhiji did it when he saw people fighting needlessly. He started thinking, why do we have to live like slaves, when we can live like divine human beings. He wanted to discover ways of how to bring about this state. With this intention he began the Satyagraha and he discovered non-violence as a means to remove the British from Indian soil. His discovery of non-violence was  unique.

Gandhiji could start the non-violence movement because he had one thing, "Satya", he was rooted in Satya. Secondly, he was contemplating on the state of the world and how to relieve the world and make it a better place, a more divine place where Truth exists.

Today Gandhiji is worshiped not only in India but throughout the world, as somebody who is holding up the light of Truth and Non-violence in the presence of violence.

So, being rooted in Truth, and being able to go deep into Truth, into the silence within is the first criterion of a Rishi. The second aspect is contemplating and doing Seva (to serve) to make the world a better place.

Once you reach this level, you automatically become a sevadhari. You don't have to struggle to become a sevadhari. This is the  next level of development towards becoming a Rishi.

So these are the processes of evolution. First is Laya Samadhi, next is Nitya Samadhi and Vishistha Samadhi. Then you will start to get rooted and great things will happen.

Actually all this is inbuilt in our genes. We have not done much Tapasya but our great Rishis have done the Tapasya and we are the inheritors of their genes. In the West nobody has inherited  genes from any Rishi, so it is very difficult for them to comprehend, what we can so very easily because we have been gifted with special genes by our Rishi. Everybody wants to be a Rishi. This is the place where Rishis  were  bred.

India is the land of Rishis. We had forgotten about our Rishis, but in the next few generations India will give tremendous power to the rest of the world. It has already begun to happen.
