The Principle of Love a Powerful Magnet

The human being possesses the constituents needed for generating electrical energy, radiation and telecommunication. The whole world is filled with electromagnetic energy. The world is governed by the principle of mutual attraction. Green grass attracts the cow. The child attracts the mother. The law of universal attraction is related to this magnetic power. Rama is the supreme symbol of the power of attraction. “Ramyate iti Rama” (The one who confers ānanda is Rama). This Rama is not the son of Dasharatha but the spiritual Rama who is Atma-Rama (Indweller in every heart). The Atma is the universal magnet which attracts everything.

Today if so many people from all over the world are drawn to this place, it is due to the power of attraction. When you keep a flower here, bees are attracted from afar. They are drawn to the flower because of the sweet honey in it. Not a single bee will be attracted by a plastic flower. The sweetness that attracts people is prema (love). This love may be manifested in many forms—maternal love, filial love, fraternal affection, marital love, friendly love and so on. Divine Love is the basis of all these forms of attraction. It is a powerful magnet. It is present everywhere including in every human being.

Baba

Here Baba talks about that Atma-Rama, the spiritual principle in the heart, the indweller in the heart. We know there is consciousness and it is non-conceptual and unlimited and absolute. And we know the relative always changing reality of our world and the mind, not two are identical and the same in limitless forms and varieties, we can call it transcendental reality and he said it is not two but one.

But if we get to the principle of Atman, we have the lover and the beloved and love, there are first three, the subject and the object and what is between them, just being or love. We have the lover, the beloved and love. There are two a lover and a beloved but in the transcendental principle is only one.

But it is love and love is in the heart. And the indweller in the heart is the power of attraction, Atma-Rama. 

If he is the universal magnet that attracts everything, he is everything, there is only one.

We are attracted to our own higher self and we have to get aware that there is no difference, because with our senses we see only differences.

Therefore, we have to watch with the heart, we cannot see it with the senses and the mind.

And in the heart is Atma-Rama. It is not only in our heart, it is in everyone’s heart, it is universal, but is someone has realized that universal being, that level of the heart will attract like a magnet.

He tells us that so many people come through him and they are all attracted by that inner magnet which is in our own heart. What attracts is love.

This love may be manifested in many forms—maternal love, filial love, fraternal affection, marital love, friendly love and so on. Divine Love is the basis of all these forms of attraction.

If we are at the basis, it is only one love, basic universal love, the powerful principle of the heart. If it is maternal love or the love for a friend, it is different love, but it is also love.

Baba said to us in the interview room, ‘why are you here?’ and we didn’t know the right answer. We were all looking at him with big eyes, we were a big group and after a moment of waiting he gave the answer and he said, ‘self-realization’. And he said, ‘follow the master, fight to the end, finish the game’.

So the first question was who is the inner master?  How do I know when it is the master and when it is the mind? That is tapas, spiritual work, it needs first discrimination and afterwards, second, we have to see it in our own life. (I began to question everything what was not okay. I had a feeling that it was about self-realization, I was at that time about seventeen and I couldn’t find it anymore. )

After that interview I knew there was something wrong, because I was right and someone else was wrong and I began to enquire and put everything in question somehow trying to find it. And it was Baba again who gave the answer in the dream, he said ‘you have been let down by your family’.

I was not very glad to hear it, but it helped to see it differently and I had to deal with the shadow.

If the light of the sun would be there, it should still have been possible to feel it, thus if it was gone and it was not possible to feel it, there had to be a reason. Therefore, something was wrong and it was in the attachment of the mind of mother.

After she died an avalanche came down in my dream. It was only a dream and it needs listening to Baba’s words to hear that the avalanche is attachment, but it explains the state of my family, buried underneath and avalanche and they are gone or better they have never been there.

If we know how to listen we get the teaching in our own heart, he is present as the man who comes in our heart to awake us.
