Amma Bhagwan | Awakening the heart, love, truth, living in joy

Bhagwan: Ah yes.  Basically it is through the process of what is called 'deeksha', an electrical energy which transfers through some kind of a hole in the mind of man.  We believe that the mind of man is like a wall, which divides man from God.  The deeksha is an electrical energy that makes a hole in this wall, which we call the mind.  Once that happens, then God and man can come to relate with each other.   The way they relate has to do with his background, his conditioning, his aspirations, his education, so many factors.  But it is God who gives enlightenment, whether you call it God or cosmic consciousness or nature, call it what you want.  So that takes over and enlightenment is delivered through God.  He is the one who delivers.  Our job is to give the deeksha and make a hole in the mind, and then God does the rest.  It's a very complex process that only God can do.

Words of Nectar: Sri Amma Bhagavan

Life is characterised by three experiences: happiness, pleasure and peace. While pleasure is an experience limited to simple material and emotional fulfilment, happiness arises from a sense of contribution and service.

PRESS INTERVIEW WITH SRI BHAGAVAN

Question: Bhagavan, what is the difference between your teachings and the other great teachings?

Bhagwan: Basically, for example, other teachers say, "Be aware of your mind. Be a witness." and all those things. What I am saying is, "It is not possible for man. Most teachings are impractical. If one tries to practice it, he actually go into certain problems. Like, he may become mad. People will become depressed, all kinds of problem will occur. People may commit suicide.
