Milking the Cows and the Blood sucking Fleas

Nothing is ever born without the will of God, nothing ever happens without His will. This is the message of the Vedas.
Understand the scriptures well and this lesson will be instilled in you.
Fleas suck and taste only the blood of the cow, but we draw from her, sweet nourishing milk. So too, you must draw and learn from the scriptures, the potency of the will of the Lord.
If fixed in that faith, you will be able to brave all dangers. In Ramayana, not all the stones that Lord Rama stepped on, turned into a human being. Only one stone changed into the form of Ahalya, for repentance and penance had elevated that stone to win the Grace of the Lord. If God is invisible to you, the fault lies within you. You are unable to recognize His various manifestations. You yourself are His very own manifestation. Fix your vision!

Baba (thought for the day)

Everything is his will, that we hear often and that is the easiest to understand. 

If we don't know the answer, we call it his will.
But Baba calls it the message of the Veda and that we should understand the scriptures well to get the lesson.
What does it mean to understand the scriptures? How can we get closer to the scriptures and Veda if we don't even know really what is meant by Veda?
It is not the culture of the West, but with Baba we experience the Veda, but to make the experience is not the same as knowing it.
If we do not know the scriptures are we like the fleas that suck the blood of the cow? I guess it depends our intention.

As Baba said that my ex took only advantage of it, I get the idea of it with that example, he is that flea sucking the blood of the cow and why, I can tell you why. 

So too, you must draw and learn from the scriptures, the potency of the will of the Lord.

 

To listen to his words, the thought for the day, is not only listening, but to think it over and see it in our own life, by writing it down is a real thinking about it. We have to find it in our life constantly and go over the past experiences by that and transform it at the same time. How does that work?

First we get the idea of it and try to understand the examples and compare it with our experience and that is ex, the blood sucking fly, can you see it how he is flying around the cow bothering only and sucking her blood, it means also energy? 

He took only advantage of it. I always tried to get it what it really was, but after all, I guess that gets real close to it.
Probably he has never thought of the Veda, he never thought it over and he would not know how to study it, but Veda is studied by practice and experience, it is not an intellectual way of studying scriptures. But without practice and self-experience, self-effort we get there, without, will never understand the lesson of the Veda.
One of those lessons is to listen to the master, to think it over and absorb. 

It means to be open minded and not shy to think it over. It is just another example and as it is the inner master who said that he took only advantage of it, that is insight and the following step is to again see it in our own experience, how did it feel when he did ... that... fooling, long now Baba thing? 

Baba is the insight as well as the following step.
How did it feel? 

The insight has been already some time ago - before he left the body he told me that he took only advantage of it and not before and there was time in between. 

The following step is about getting it right, to be able to understand it or see it in our own life. And Baba said also to send him the bill. As he doesn't respond if we send the bill, because he is not good, he is just aggravation, but he intended to come here and open a money box to again harass and make us feel bad. I began to get nuts just to think that he is coming here and I told him that he is not welcome here. I didn't want to see him and that created only a lot of emotional stuff and bad feelings and the question, how shall I send him that bill ...? 

Between an insight and a following step are all possibilities, but as the Guru's task is to get to the right conclusion, whatever is done it is finally to get to a right conclusion. But in thinking it over and seeing it in our own life to be able to absorb it finally it means also, we get over the past negativity in our mind. That is how it works, the master is on a higher consciousness level and in going through all that stuff that bothered us in the past, we can let go of it.If fixed in that faith, you will be able to brave all dangers.
If we just go on no matter what obstacles will be there, my ex was part of one of those obstacles it seems, he turned out to be a disturbing fly instead of helping to milk the cow. 

That is also why I have hardly any contact with him anymore, because of that constant level of disturbance, because a fly is never our friend, but always bothering, always annoying."It is a special knowledge which is different from what you have heard, inferred, or understood intellectually."

This is different from the one which you have heard or you have guessed. The knowledge which comes from the depth of the being is different from the one which you have read, which you have heard, or which you have guessed through the intellectual sense. Shruta anumana pragnabhyam anya vishaya vishesharthvat. It is different from everything else and very special.Patanjali-Yogasutras

The Patanjali Yoga Sutras have wonderful insights about that knowledge coming from the depth of our own being and being different from everything we have read or heard. To listen to the words of the master is getting closer to the depth of our own being and in seeing it in our own life, we get aware of it in the light of our own self, that way it gets absorb finally."The impression born from the experience of the highest state of consciousness can wipe out other impressions which cause bondage."

Impressions of that state of consciousness can wipe out all other impressions in the mind which are useless, which are not necessary. To some degree, this keeps happening to all of you. Five percent, ten percent, fifteen percent, twenty percent, fifty percent, eighty percent. In the very first sitting of meditation, when you started, you erased something of the past. The deeper you do, the more hollow and empty you become; you feel that you are a different person, a new person. Many come up with this experience, "Oh, I feel totally different, changed. I am not the same person." What has happened? It has been removed, erased. The other samskara, the other impressions from the mind are removed. It makes you new, it renews you again and again.
In considering seriously to think it over we get to the insight, as Baba said, he is the insight and he is also the following step. That level of impressions in the state of consciousness, Patanjali, the father of yoga tells us here, that it is possible to wipe out other impressions in the mind which cause bondage. If we are only singing once a week it could be five percent, if we meditate regularly it is certainly more and if we think it over and absorb it is again more...
The reason for TM to repeat constantly the Patanjali yoga sutras as program is also present inhere, that is why everything else was stress only, no identification with with our past life anymore, but instead of getting out of our past lives, we got cut off, because the process was not understood, it was just a program and that didn't tell us what happened in using that program.

Baba said in the inner view, 'I wanted a big house'. Yesterday remembering how I was looking for expensive hotels, big houses, I got aware that it was the Maharishi who wanted a big house, of course not the national leader. But it was him who got in touch with me and asked me to look for it. It was still the master and I guess therefore it said in the 'inner view', 'I wanted a big house' and he said as well, 'I wanted to fly', it was not individual, but in the group and that is a higher level, if all people meditate and practice together.

We think we wanted to fly in doing the siddhis, but we are 'he' and therefore, he said, 'I wanted to fly', we were practicing with the flying sutra. Maharishi said that it will only work if consciousness is on a higher level and on that level it is about 'divinity' and not the individual, because it is about consciousness. 

Therefore, he said, 'I wanted to fly', when Baba tells 'I', we first have to understand it on the right level, he talks not of the body and not of the mind, it is the 'I' of the Atman. 

Siddhas are perfect beings and it was fun in big groups to do that program, at least in the beginning, with the time it didn't change anymore and it felt different. 

There were that many people together doing the program together, integrated in that group, it made us groups of Siddhas or groups of teachers and groups of meditators. 

And my ex was the fly sucking the blood of the cow, because he said he did TM, when he never practiced it. 

He was initiated though, but as he never did it, he had no relationship to the reality of being a meditator and he was just fooling us for his own purposes. I met him in the Baba ashram and it didn't even come to my mind that everything could be wrong and not true of whatever he had said, it felt afterwards like a kind of a fantasy world. He said he was meditating, but he never did it. He said he had a job, but didn't etc. The way he said it was besides common sense, he said to everybody that in the moment he was initiated into TM and got the mantra, he knew that he would do that all his life. Everybody got to the wrong conclusion that he did it for his whole life ...

A master's task is to take care that we get to a right conclusion, what he did in the master's presence was taking care of it, that we got to a wrong conclusion, that is evil.
Taken aback, it felt not possible, it seemed impossible what he was telling us, when he said ... that he actually never did it. 

He was deliberately fooling us. It was such a shock, I didn't get it, why should he do that? Everything was wrong, nothing was he said it was. Baba said that TM was not the right path, and I guess the reason is mirrored in that.
As meditators we were the same, or as Sidhas we were the same, as he never did it, it was fooling everybody, not only me, but also his boss in who's room he was living and everybody else. In the inner view was Baba with vampire teeth, the fly sucking the blood, taking the energy, taking advantage of it, we saw it as Baba's Lila, but in the background is TM and the fact that we were not aware of it, it came right back on us and hit, because we didn't know we could be deceived. 

We were used to being Siddhas, it was a 'group consciousness' all being the same, or meditators, or teachers. 

And because it was all secret and hidden and not transparent, it hit on the spot, the fact was there that we were not aware of it, we had not the right knowledge. The programs created a relationship of being the same, but the awareness of it was missing, we had not the knowledge what we were doing and therefore, we got lost in it. 

That is how we learn by bad example. 

He was not the friend he claimed to be, he had never done it, he was fooling us, telling that he knew that he would do it all his life and that he did it, creating the impression he was part of it and only later telling me, 'but I never did it' ... that didn't make sense to me at all. 

Anyhow deceiving others is bad, not telling the truth is against the principle of a Sai Baba.

Telling us afterwards that we were stupid because we believe in it and that he could do that to us..., crooked and he made fun of it that we were so stupid that we didn't notice it and I didn't understand what he was talking about it was that scary.

He deceived us without second thought, without even feeling bad and he went on like that and made fun of it that we were that stupid to go for it to be trapped by him, it was evil. 

What caused it was that we were not aware of it, because of that missing awareness with TM. As that was a problem, it was like attracting it. That is now we get aware what is missing. 

Not being aware of it, he could easily give us the feeling that he was the same like us and on that basis it could go ahead, because we were fooled by that. We had no means to verify it, because we were not anymore meditating in groups together and we had left the safety level of the TM-environment. There it would have been clear that he is not meditating, because he would never have been part of the group, but out of that environment we couldn't know anymore. 

That is how Karma works, something is wrong, it hits on the spot. 

We didn't get aware of it during the TM-time and therefore, as soon as we left, it came back on us and we were deceived on that same level we had felt okay and safe before. 

The sameness was only apparent, noticing he could have anything he wanted from his former boss as long as he appeared to be a meditator, he went on telling that he knew he would do it all his life, but he never did it. 

Only the last part of it, that he didn't tell. 

He told me after a long time and when we were already in a relationship, before he just said he didn't do it anymore. 

And the rest was taking advantage of, whatever there was, we could take advantage off, the room of his former boss and that I had been a TM-teacher and whatever ... he was a vampire sucking energy, he was the fly sucking the blood and we thought we were the same and getting in direction of getting the sweet milk of that same cow.  

That is how we learn by experience, but it is not so nice to get aware of it.
