Patel's Sahaj Marg

Translation of an article: "Le Sahaj Marg de Patel", by Alexis on Élodie's blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.

Patel's Sahaj Marg 

The NEWS
 

Two speeches after the death of Chari and a few Sahaj Sandesh (s) later, Patel's program shines through and gradually emerges. The "Whispers" published in (almost) real-time strengthen and clarify certain aspects.

First to mark his difference and affirm himself, Patel establishes the "right of inventory" on the legacy of the "Chari period"  (1983-2014), of the SRCM and Sahaj Marg.  Lack of unity, organizational, communication, etc etc. In short, a system of classism and privileges, jealousy and competition which Chari did not know how, or want to oppose.
 
“(...) I am so mad. Privileges. We have crossed the limits of spiritual civility by showing ourselves to be so important. (…) We start establishing a class system in our Mission, (…) thinking ourselves as superior to others (…). You are not exclusive (…). Jealousy, discord and competition (…) kills everything.(…) This class system will be finished once and for all. (...)”

Then, after opening the door to criticism of the legacy of their spiritual father, Patel expressed his allegiance to the editors of the Whispers of the Brighter World.   Reviving Chari's tradition of a tireless globetrotter, he first visits "Mother" Hélène Peyret, one of the French (anonymous) mediums of whom he breaks the anonymity.  

"Mediums are not lacking in the Mission, whatever the possibilities that they give themselves."  The Whispers add: " Many decisions will need to be taken; he [Patel] will constantly be guided and better enlightened about what to do. (...) "
 
In pledging allegiance to the mediums, Patel relaunches the mystery around the religious myth of Sahaj Marg. The Central Region suddenly becomes a much higher and more remote and inaccessible level, while the  Whispers accelerate the pace by jumping to the chapter of the "final stage", which brings us even closer to  the Apocalypse.
 
The scenario looks like science-fiction ... We are far from Paradise! The Brighter World is only the anteroom of the afterlife where Babuji, Chari and the cartel of Masters are awaiting the abhyasis to guide them, because the journey is just beginning.

“Many people dream of the Brighter World, but it is just a waiting period for our Masters. They would like to take us and show us the other worlds.”  " Or even: "A lot of people still do not have this concept of the reality of their earthly transition and continuity of their existence elsewhere on other planes of consciousness (...). "
   
They will then move up multiple levels, and go from one dimension to another to approach the Central Region.  

 “It is not a journey from place to place; it is from dimensions to dimensions (…). I don’t know how many of you have read a message by an entity called The Foreigner (Stranger?). I think he is mentioned in the third or fourth volume of Whispers. He is introduced as a person arriving into the Brighter World (…). Who is this Foreigner? (Stranger?) He descended from yet another higher dimension. So there are many, many, many dimensions awaiting us. That travel (journey?) is awaiting us; don’t waste time here, breaking your head and heart (…).” 

And, along the way, we can cross the most unlikely creatures, not necessarily the most pleasing ...

The Whispers add that Chari had not understood anything of the Brighter World: 

"Parthasarathi discovers the path of Sahaj Marg otherwise, from very high up one might say. (...) Our dear Parthasarathi marvels at what he discovers, out of reach of an incarnated being, however great it may be."
 
Patel denounced the excesses of Chari's reign, but Whispers calls for the strengthening of the hierarchy desired by Chari and promises a restructuring:
 
"Its important extension [that of SRCM] will require a more structured setting with senior officials at its different parts. (...) A High Hierarchy will insure the cohesion of this essential structure for the functioning of the unprecedented spiritual empire that it will become (...). [Chari] considered some new arrangements to facilitate certain aspects of the practice; everything must be done in this direction (...). Change will happen in the Mission: New rules will be established (...).  The Mission is growing, the burden of responsibility will too, it will in the future be structured differently to achieve a global cohesion. (...) New rules will be established; the progress of the mission in the world calls for changes that will be beneficial to all. We strive unceasingly and support this way of the heart which the elected  will strengthen what exists  for its global development. »
 
And Patel confirmed in Sahaj Sandesh (No.  2015.7 January 28) his dependence on Whispers for the reorganization of the SRCM:   

“[Patel] mentioned some of the new changes the Hierarchy of Masters have permitted in the Mission, as have also been indicated in recent messages from the Brighter World.”
 
Patel and the mediums announce some changes to meet the drifting of the SRCM into a class and privileges system under the chairmanship of Chari, according to Patel; and for future growth, according to the mediums. They agree on one point: the need for change, to restructure the organization, strengthen the hierarchy ... so strengthen the establishment.
 
The Whispers then return to the need to change the rules of preceptorship:  

"Being a preceptor is not trivial, this commitment to the Master and to the entire Hierarchy is to be considered before all things. Sometimes changes must occur to meet the needs of the moment. (...) Its extension into the world will call for new rules, particularly with regards to the preceptors; it will be time to redefine and renew under the circumstances (...).
 
And, Patel continued in Sahaj Sandesh (No. 2015.13 of 12 February): 

 “(…) There were many important topics related to prefect work discussed as well. There have been requests from so many prefects to share the contents of the talks delivered to prefects in New Jersey. I would like to share the same theme in person with prefects all over the world in a systematic way. The program will be announced shortly. (…)”

But it's again the mediums of Whispers who best sum things up:  

"Life Changes, the world changes and the Mission grows; All this brings about a new way to see things in its organization, and at all levels.  We leave our dear Kamlesh get settled in his role as Master to bring about necessary changes.  An adjustment should be done in several points;  the elapsed time has allowed us to see what needed to be changed for the good of all.  We are watching over things, new rules will be instituted, we will return to this; one thing at a time  (...)  The growing number of abhyasis require new development, we will return evoking some things to change.  May our abhyasis be reassured, everything will be done for their benefit and for that of the Mission.  We will inspire the chosen Master so as to guide him in this necessary restructuring in some points, especially in the practice."

Patel also provides the mission schedule for the coming months: birthday celebration of Babuji in Lucknow (with a probable Kamlesh visit to the ashram of Shahjahanpur), a big birthday party for Chari at Thiruvallur.
 
Finally, Patel reaffirms the importance for Chari of the " Ongoing Kanha project "in Hyderabad, which he probably will also visit. Then it was the turn of a Whisper January 15

"(...) This large building under construction [Hyderabad] become an important and symbolic point of it [the mission] is now in the lives of many human beings (...)"
 
All of that, after the first Whisper of Babuji September 9, 2014.

" (...) This mecca of the Mission in the Making (Hyderabad) will have a prominent place, it will become the flagship, the attractive point this mission in perfect connection with all the other centers of the mission in this world. (...) "
 
The headquarters of the SRCM was Shajahanpur under Babuji, then Manapakkam under Chari, tomorrow, will it be in Hyderabad underPatel?

Hyderabad, the capital of a restructured SRCM by strengthening the hierarchy and the establishment, according to the requirement of the mediums and despite Patel's anti-system diatribe, with a priority on the reform of the preceptorship ...
 
Is there a real desire for change and reform? Simple effects of announcements or the signs of a coming change? Time will tell ...

Oh my god. We'll see what happens. Patel denouncing Chari. I shudder at the thought. So many abhyasis probably secretly doubting and not knowing where to turn. Just leave and make your own life, it's not that bad out here. Really, there is no samskara hell, is there a chance, however small, that you're slightly afraid of leaving? Good! Fear is not a reason to keep with something. So join us in the land of the living not the 'living dead.'

I agree, practicing Sahaj Marg out of fear would be ill advised, one should do it out of love.

Although we may disagree about the Mission, I hope you don't mind me saying that I have an affection for you 4d don, as I feel you are only trying do what you see is right by your fellow human beings.

I hope old age is treating you kindly, unfortunately it will happen to us all (if we're lucky enough!). London is freezing at the moment and very grey.

Take care,

Patrick

Hi Patrick...

Thanks for the kind words of affection ... Here, the winter rains have finally stopped, so hopefully, spring is not far away ... and the illusion called the material CREATION keeps on creating and changing ... the dance of MOTION. The Reality is MOTION! TIME being the measurement of MOTION (or of Change).

I have been blessed to live fairly disease-free so far, but the decline is coming, I hear.
Hopefully at or near 164 (remember the old Beatles song? "When I'm 64"??)


A Poem / Song

The Circular Road

"We Live and we die, and life newly explodes,
Life is a circular road.
A motion in TIME that forever erodes,
Life is a circular road.

Like the path 'round the pond,
It's a circular road.
Ain't going nowhere, ain't got nowhere to go,
There's a bulrush, a varied thrush, a frog and a toad,
As we ramble around in Life's earthly abode;
Life is a circular road...

(and ... back to the beginning ...)


Have a good day ... The "grey" of the London sky will soon be painted by the ARTIST (the sun?) in the many colors of dusk and dawn we experience, as it burns the "water/moisture" out of the atmosphere ... which refracts its rays into a "spectrum" of life-creating hues.

Have a great day and a peaceful and enlightened season!

Don...

The Lucknow ashram and its "colony", constitutes a "high security zone" of more than 45 hectares, surrounded by a concrete wall, under the suveilance of a private guard and some regular rounds by the local police.

(See hyperlink on Elodie's blog, in comments section)

The Pioneer E paper English Lucknow edition
LUCKNOW | TUESDAY | FEBRUARY 24, 2015


“(…) [Sahajpuram colony] is situated inside the Sri Ram Chandra Mission ashram sprawling in several acres off the IIM road. The colony has a concrete fencing all around and also has a private agency man to look after the security arrangements of the colony. Besides, there is a police picket outside the colony and the local police has a standing order to conduct regular patrolling around the colony. (…) If houses located in high-security zones are unsafe, what will be condition of those living in other parts of the city? (…)”


Sahaj Sandesh 2006.14 (20/02/2006):

The Lucknow Ashram is a large property with a Housing Colony for abhyasis coming up next to the Ashram. The Ashram is around 46 acres as of now which is likely to be expanded to 53 acres while the housing colony, christened “Sahaj Puram” by Rev. Master is spread across 62 acres. Master has indicated that this will be the North India Central Ashram.
