Thou hast made me known to friends whom I knew not.
Thou hast given me seats in homes not my own.
Thou hast brought the distant near
and made a brother of the stranger.
I am uneasy at heart
when I have to leave my accustomed shelter;
I forget that there abides the old in the new,
and that there also thou abidest.
Through birth and death, in this world or in others,
wherever thou leadest me it is thou, the same,
the one companion of my endless life
who ever linkest my heart
with bonds of joy to the unfamiliar.
When one knows thee, then alien there is none,
then no door is shut.
Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose
the bliss of the touch of the one
in the play of many.
Rabindranath Tagore
Sahaja Yoga programs have recently been conducted in Morocco. The following letter was written by one of the Sahaja yogis who went to Morocco to help with the presentations.
I just came home from Morocco where I spent a blissful week of spreading vibrations collectively. I just wanted to share with you the tremendous joy, compassion and love I felt over there. Morocco is like the Garden of Allah, its flowers being wonderful; smiling, respectful souls longing to get their self-realisation….
Leafleting was such a joy: people would stop and face you, take the leaflet, ask you what it is about and thank you for the invitation. Some promised to come if God grants it “InshAllah”, and He did!
All three programs were wonderful but the one in Rabat, the royal capital, was the highlight. The seekers joined the Quawalli, clapping and singing in praise of Allah. It was simply wonderful!
We were a group of twelve yogis from France, Switzerland, Austria, England and Morocco. On the day of the programm in Rabat, we were having breakfast all together at a long table and we were discussing how to arrange everything for the program on the same evening. Suddenly everyone was silent and the vibrations were very strong; Shri Mataji was with us at the table. It was such a blessing.

Recently I woke up in the middle of the night with an insight into the benefits of giving Vibrations. In Sahaja Yoga the term, Vibrations, refers to feeling the All-pervading Power of God’s Love or Paramchaitanya in our palms, at the top of our heads, and for a sensitive personality, anywhere else on the body. It flows as a cool breeze when the subtle system is balanced and harmonic.
When we “give” Vibrations, this is when we use this flow to clear another person’s subtle system. What happens is like a river. The river flows and becomes broad and deep only when the trickles of water are continuous. Similarly, in human beings, for the Divine Vibrations to flow, we have to facilitate it by constantly finding ways and means to “give” it.
All this insight took no more than a fraction of a second to flood my conscious awareness. The revelation also provided the answer as to how we can achieve this, i.e., by “giving” Vibrations, using all the methods that have been devised for us by Shri Mataji, to everything that comes into our attention – people, things, animals, plants, events, situations. Develop a habit; make it second nature. If each of us were to do this we could become broad and deep channels of Vibrations that would merge to become one big ocean of Vibrations.

The man whispered, “God, speak to me,”
And a meadowlark sang.
But the man did not hear.
So the man yelled, “God, speak to me,”
And the thunder rolled across the sky,
But the man did not listen.
The man looked around and said, “God, let me see you,”
And a star shone brightly.
But the man did not notice.
And the man shouted, “God, show me a miracle!”
And a life was born.
But the man did not know.
So the man cried out in despair, “Touch me, God, and let me know You are here,”
Whereupon God reached down and touched the man.
But the man brushed the butterfly away –
And walked away unknowingly.
