Waking up through action

Hi, I like to share my talk to the participants of the fantastic Mystery of Oneness retreat.

Hello seekers of Truth!

First of all I would like to ask if someone read my page in LiveJournal where I wrote about my meeting with the Master?

(http://sofya-love-is.livejournal.com/)

Anyway, I better tell you how this whole thing happened. It took me only three steps.

First .

I was very lucky to get here, to arrive at the Satsang with Madhukar. And, above all, I could recognize the value of it. Something so precious I never met before.

Second.

I had this intention to wake up from illusion even though clarity was not always here for me yet. I’ve realized that the only way in such a situation is to stay as much as possible in the energy of Madhukar.

And it became clear to me how helpful it is to be part of the Madhukar Organization.

It became obvious to me that clarity and awakening is not necessarily here from the very beginning.

No, waking up happens through surrender. In this case surrender through action. However perfect.

Writing for LifeJournal is good for me as much as for others. Yes, this action of sharing my experience with others was beneficial for me.

Third.

Simply take action! It can be whatever you find useful– sharing through all kind of social networks in the internet, helping within the Madhukar Organization, coming up with ideas how we can share and rejoice the Yoga of Silence, the Yoga of Love! (more about sharing possibilities of internet  I speak in the “Global Network” doc. which you can find in forum under downloads/network).

For example, I found that creating such a page on LiveJournal gives me the possibility to spread my individual experience in a nice and very communicative way.

Well.

This invitation to share and to participate comes from Love. That Love which is here during every Satsang.

Madhukarji is as a pure source, like pure knowledge. And responding to this grace is our answer to honor this Love.

The Family of Love is much bigger as we comprehend right now. So many others desire to come home too.

To bring this Love, the love shown by the Master into the world is our job!

As I see it, the Master’s only job being with us in Satsang, to sit with us in Peace, to answer our questions and to disperse our doubts. That honors His existence.

But we all know how much He also takes onto himself in organizing the whole process which enables these meeting to happen and continue to happen. And this diverts a lot of His energy. Is that right?

As we heard not long ago Him saying that His trust is not entirely fulfilled, His hope that we are able to take and appreciate the message. Because is our own job to wake up! We are waking up to the message of love, we are living up to it, and we are bringing it into reality! And I suppose sharing and taking action is one of the aspects reflecting this way of life. It shows our gratefulness!

Some might think that first clarity should be here, first absolute awareness should be here and then you can go into what I’m inviting you. But I’m sure that’s not so. Awareness and clarity arise only when you really go for this!

It is sad to see when devotees of a great master are not able to speak up to a person who shows disrespect to their guru. One asks oneself did actually the message reach their heart, were they ever really touched by his love?

It happened two thousand years ago when one blessed man who had many followers was crucified. Indeed, he stayed as love then and even was still sharing this love on the cross.

Are we still not able to make our Master happy in this world? We should remember each second that we are lucky to meet a living master in the body, to meet pure love in human form. He is here for us, is our help in finding out who we are! It’s us who want Him to stay happy with us, longer and longer! Because only now, in this reality where we are able to communicate with Him personally, to enquire and to wake up.

What is happening now in the organization really requires from us responsibility and clarity. From each one of us! If we want that this possibility to enquire and stay in peace through Satsang stays available!

I see that we are in a transitional stage now, passing a door leading to a more conscious Sangha. Our beloved Rita is presently not the general manager anymore and other changes are happening. Each one of the beloveds who entered this beauty field can perceive himself as a member of the Family of Love. Everyone has to take full responsibility for the task he is chosen for or chooses for himself. Everyone should communicate with his brothers and sisters in the ways of clarity.

This is a transformation which happens within each one and in the Family of Love in general. We are one! A new energy arises and – is there another way but to welcome it?

I’m very happy that such people as Akua, Jutta and Albina are  here now! Building up on all the great service you and the many helpers and organizers have provided so far, these people are willing to reorganize and enable an efficient work flow. This is the energy which renews our self-perception in the Sangha, which allows the organization to flow, which finally helps our Master to serve us easily with the most precious knowledge!

We are together in this boat, let’s make this ship sail on the ocean of Samsara and bring us safely to freedom!

I’m sure that this should be realized by everyone who says: “Madhukarji is my Master!”

Otherwise we are cheating ourselves, staying in illusion. We would cheat ourselves pursuing our own individual way to clarity and freedom… No… we are waking up together here. This clarity reveals itself each second in communication with each other, in being sensitive to the words of the Master.

If you catch this flame through my words – please give me a feedback!

Feedback: I’m very grateful that you said this to us. I often feel very insecure. I realized that it is precious to sit silent. But I get now through your words that basically the next step was missing. It is great to sit in silence but it is important to express it in my reality. And what you said gives me the courage to go for it.

Sofya: It seems that some people who are helping or doing something for the organization are often a little afraid to do things not the right way, to make a mistake and so on. But you do not need to have fear! The Master the only person you can really trust. Through him Love flows. The form of the Love might be startling. Different. Challenging.

I mean here, in communication with the Master, fear is the most useless thing. Fear means you like to stay old.

And I like to clarify my invitation to really respond to that what you are offered here. Be sensitive and open to a new energy which is now flowing in the organization.

Feedback: Yes, I understand what you mean. I can feel that Madhukarji has a lot to give us. But when we are really perceptive to His message then He can give us even more!

Question: Did I get you right that it’s also an invitation to everybody to be a part of the Organization?

Sofya: I believe that as soon as you enter this space and realize that it is precious and important for you to stay in this – you will naturally tend to participate and to take a task for yourself.

Question: So people can simply join in, to bring something new?

Sofya: Joining, participating and sharing means living up to a precious offer. See, we serve our Master and he serves us. He does his job with all his energy, with all His heart. Do you?

With love
Sofya
