Skype Darshan with Sri Bhagavan and Korea - October 20th 2012
On the 20th of October, We had Sri Bhagavan's Darshan for the Koreans. It was a festival for us. There are 19 trainers and deeksha givers who are awakened. With this happy news, people were filled with joy and passion preparing for Sri Bhagavan's Darshan. People came to believe that on the day, many people would be awakened on the spot. We had Bhagavan's darshans in three major cities: Seoul, Kwangju, and Daegu. People invited their parents, brothers, sisters, and friends. Around 400 people gathered only in Seoul. In Kwangju, around 150 people gathered and in Daegu, another 150. More than 100 non-deeksha givers participated.
Namaste, Dear beloved Bhagavan.
We are greatly honored to have you here tonight. It's beyond words. And we heard that how much it is difficult for you to find some time for us Korean people because of your busy schedule. Let me express our deep gratitude for you to spend such precious time with us. Your presence is remarkable and a great gift for the Korean people. These days, more and more deeksha givers and trainers are awakened in the Korea Oneness community. We know that these are also gifts from you. We are very grateful for that, too. And Korean deeksha givers and trainers are so happy with the hope of awakening. Thank you so much.
Q1.There are many spiritual programs and organizations pursuing awakening in Korea. But when we look at the current situation, it seems to be the easiest and quickest to get awakened through Oneness programs. And in reality, we see so many people get awakened in the Korea Oneness Community, these days. What are, if any, the differences between Oneness Programs and the other spiritual programs?
A1. Sri Bhagavan: Oneness makes use of the divine power. That is why it is so fast.
Q2.We have the guideline from the India to share the experiences from and ask questions to, and receive deeksha from awakened people, and we do so. Why is it so important to listen to their experiences and ask questions and receive deeshas from them before Oneness Meditation?
A2. Sri Bhagavan: When you take a piece of iron to a piece of a magnet, the iron piece slowly becomes a magnet. Similarly, when you listen to an awakened person, proper result is that you become slowly like that.
Q3.What is awakening? I learned that awakening is a permanent change in our brain structure which is not returnable. Then when we are reincarnated, what would happen to our awakening? If we are born again, our body and brain would not be the same, but still does our awakening hold up? I feel these days, people's attention is really focused on awakening. So I want your clear teaching. Thank you.
A3: Sri Bhagavan: Awakened people normally do not take rebirth. Even though they take a rebirth, they always remain awakened. In fact, we have children that are fully awakened.
Q4. Dear beloved Bhagavan!
Until the third time of my attending Oneness Meditation, I had had a tough time because of anger and fury with no reason arising from the bottom of my heart. I almost exploded. Then I realized it came from the relationship with my mother.
My mom is taking care of my two children at my home. In my thought, I'm grateful to my mom for that, but my heart doesn't feel any gratitude to her and seems to take it for granted. I just want a genuine recognition from my mom, which means the one that my heart accepts. How can I get it? And how can I set right the relationship with my mom?
Dear Bhagavan! I'm an only physically adult, but still a child in my heart.
Thank you. I love you.
A4: Sri Bhagavan: You are going to be awakened very soon. Once you are awakened, all your relationships would be instantly set right.
Q5. Dear beloved Bhagaed very soon. And when you are awakened, your heart too would automatically flower.
Bhagavan, I appreciate you, dear Bhagavan. I've got lots of help from the Oneness Meditation.
I have two questions.
I heard that to get awakened our brain structure should be changed. In my case, I feel something heavy is formed in my heart. I tried to find the cause of the charge but couldn't. When I am reviewing my life, my past doesn't come clearly to me, neither the emotions at that time either. So during Life-review, many times I find myself dozing off. It's not easy to recognize something. At this state, I ask my divine to melt down my charges, but still I feel them within me. Is it possible for the person like me whose heart doesn't flower, to experience the changes of the brain and get awakened? Or is awakening possible only when our hearts flower?
A5. Sri Bhagavan: You will be awakened.
Q6. My mom and eldest brother died of liver cancer. The remaining siblings don't have good health in their liver, either. I myself, when in shadana, sometimes feel pains in mine, too. If I get awakened, can my awakening influence my siblings and remove this kind of physical karma of my family? Or should this karma be removed first before my awakening? I want to know what kind of influence can an individual's awakening have on the whole karma of a family? Thank you.
A6. Sri Bhagavan: Your karma would not affect your awakening. On your awakening, you would be automatically free of certain types of Karma.
Q7. More than anything else, I am grateful to Bhagavan for giving us this chance of grace. It' been only several months since I first came to know the Oneness Meditation. And last June, it was my first time to attend Bhagavan's darshan in Seoul. Since then, I realized that so many thoughts came to me and saw those thoughts occupy me with a very strong power. Even it was a short time, I could observe their coming and going in my mind, during which I could experience silence. This experience was amazing for me, and after that, I came to have a yearning for awakening.
But I only attend online Oneness Meditation due to location and time problems. These days, I don't experience any shifts. Do you think the people like me who haven't had awakening course yet or new comers can receive your grace of awakening in today's darshan? And I want to know what will help our awakening today?
Finally, I deeply appreciate Bhagavan and the people who are doing the practical job to help awaken the humanity.
A7. Sri Bhagavan: You will benefit from today's blessing, and very soon become awakened.
Q8. Dear, beloved Amma Bhagavan
During the last June deepening and trainer courses, I first had darshans with you, Bhagavan. Even after I came back in Korea, I miss you. When I have good news or am in trouble, I want to see you more. In that situation, I call your name, "Amma Bhagavan" in my mind. I'm wondering if you can hear my voice when I call you like that. I know this question is very silly or childlike, but I'm looking forward to your answer.
Thank you Bhagavan, and I love you.
A8. Sri Bhagavan: Yes, I can hear you.
Q9. I have 47 year-old son. He has suffered from a psychological problem for the last 27 years. I have done many rituals for his healing and done several times of Homa in Oneness University. And last time, I attended Navaratri Homa.
For a while, my son had attended Oneness Meditation along with me, and his state had improved. But recently, he doesn't attend OM, and doesn't show any desire to do anything. I'm growing older, and it's not easy for me to ask him to do one by one. It's too tough for me. What can I do for my son?
A9. Sri Bhagavan: You will become awakened. Once you are awakened, your son's condition will improve.
Q10. Until a few weeks ago, I wanted to get awakened, but at the same time I was afraid to do so. But recently as I see the people around me get awakened, I realize how much I want to be awakened. And the awakening feels like a gift from the divine.
I'm in 21 day shadana, and receive deeksha from awakened friends. Now I have hope and courage that soon I will also be awakened. Bhagavan! Still I have a slight fear that I might not be able to get awakened. I know that my effort doesn't matter so much in my awakening, but sometimes I find myself grow more impatient. Bhagavan if I trust my divine, do you think I can really get awakened? And will all the trainers and deeksha givers get awakened within this year?
A10. Sri Bhagavan: You are going to be awakened. Most of the Korean trainers and blessing givers would be awakened by the end of this year.
(Images seem frozen, it seems.)
Q11. I want to ask questions about the presence. I haven't experienced the presence so strongly. Only once I shed tears and experienced peace when meditating on the presence. I ask my divine to give me strong experiences of the presence but I couldn't have. How can I experience the presence more deeply? Why is it so important to experience the presence and live in the presence? What is the difference between the awakening and being in the presence?
A11. Sri Bhagavan: Being awakened and living in the presence is totally different. This cannot be intellectually understood. You must discover the answer by yourself. Living in the presence leads to god realization. Awakening by itself will not lead to god realization. Living in the presence leads to god realization.
Q12. I sent my experience to India but am not yet to be announced to be awakened. But I automatically make a phone call to people to deliver a message that they need, and I can feel how other people's state is, which is so automatic. I'm confused with this my state. Please explain why I am doing so. And give me the blessing of awakening. Thank you, Bhagavan.
A12. Sri Bhagavan: You are inches close to awakening. You might be awakened at any moment.
Q13. As of October, 2012 now, we have 19 awakened people in Korean Oneness community. When I look at people get awakened, I feel happy, and amazed, and my heart fills with hope and joy that I might be awakened soon. I hear that these series of awakening will keep going on in 2013. And by what time, is this trend going to last? I also heard that you, Bhagavan will disappear from the front scene of the Oneness movement. Then what will happen to the Oneness Movement and us?
These days, as we see more and more people get awakened, we also feel that the general consciousness level of the Korean people has grown. But ironically, these days in the Korean society, the adolescent suicide rate, rapes of children, and the number of horrible crimes have increased, or are revealed more often. Why is that?
A13. Sri Bhagavan: Oneness is a phenomenon which will not stop till the last man on the planet will be awakened. The human condition not only in Korea but around the world is pretty bad. But Korea would awaken very very fast. When we used to take monks for training, one of the films they first saw was films from Korea on awakening. Whenever we select monks for training, we used to take monks for training, we used to show them some films, one of the films is about awakening in Korea. Korea will awaken very very fast.
Q14. Recently I see many people in Korea get awakened. At first I was very happy with each news of awakening coming. And at that time I also felt that I might be awakened, and sent my experience to India, but no announcement for my awakening yet.
And as time went by and I hear more people get awakened, I find myself jealous of them and my mind suffering. I could see the evidences of my not awakening and saw myself how much I have craved to be important and significant. That is a very much suffering for me. I also realized myself is afraid of losing the sense of 'I.'
Dear beloved Bhagavan, I experienced the awakened state, but the state hasn't lasted so long. How can I lead my awakened state into a permanent awakening? What should I do for that?
Thank you always for your being with us and protecting us.
A14. Sri Bhagavan: You should do nothing. You would be awakened very very soon.
Q15. These days, around me I see more and more people awakened. Whenever I hear such news, I feel happy. But I know this question is very ridiculous, but sometimes I see some people are awakened, who I've thought would be the last person in the Korean Oneness community to get awakened. At ordinary times, there are trainers and deeksha givers who seem more stable and better in recognizing their inner integrity have yet to get awakened but those who haven't seemed so get awakened. What, in the world, is the most important factor or element that creates awakening?
A15. Sri Bhagavan: Awakening depends on past lives and what happened while you were in your womb.
Anandji: Thank you, Bhagavan. The questions are over. All the people, they want blessings from Bhagavan for awakening. All of them want to become awakened.
Bhagavan: We will now meditate for minutes, which will help you awaken very very fast.
