When I initiated Chetana, Chetana means light, which makes this body alive, like electricity. The light bulb is dead but electricity makes the light shine. This body is alive because of that light. The light goes and the body is lying here. She is the same Chetana so that Chetana means light which animated this body and each sense we are speaking of is full of love, words full of love, touch full of healing compassion and heart full of well being for all beings. That Chetana is not gone, that Chetana is with you and with me and with all of us. And that feeling with that strength you are with me. Someday we cry and we forget. But don't cry. Somebody would say I would die for my Jesus, I say no, Jesus does not want you to die, but rather to live for him.
I got up at 3:00 am and I was sitting in the plane and there was no way the plane would take off. The pilot said "I don't know when we will take off.” And many people got out and I said, “No, I will stay and I am here." It is Chetana, it is Chetana. And so many friends, she has collected so many friends. Can you see we come alone in this world crying but living we collect so many friends and she is witnessing the example of so many people who came just to pay homage. One person can collect as many friends as one likes. Can we not collect friends rather than foes? That is the question. If she could collect so many friends, so can we.
When she met me I know nobody was there, none of them, but she practiced, she grew, she changed, she shared and collected so many friends- and so can we. Say "I will collect friends not foes" and not limit myself by any walls. Go beyond walls.
If somebody is Christian that is fine, but brings non-violence and not just in words but in life. Your food should be blessed with the blessings not with somebody's suffering. If somebody is a Jew, somebody is a Hindu, somebody is a Buddhist that is fine -because changing religion does not make any change. It is changing your attitude, your limitations you are transcending.
So this is the whole teaching: remember Chetana has not gone, Chetana has given Chetana - she has animated your heart, your feeling as she animated her body, she animated many hearts. With this we know she has not died, but she has transcended. For the same way you can see her eyes you can see her face but the aliveness is moving toward the divine, toward God, toward heaven, so please for a minute...you see how on the wings of light and love she is flying and soaring higher and higher and that is the real Chetana. You have to visualize her ascending, ascending and reaching the top of the universe on the ceiling of the universe you see the light. Chetana is light you see her on top of the universe. Now you see the invisible, you can accomplish any impossible thing in your life. Now you have the strength to see the soul, so you have the strength to move with the soul.
Om Peace, peace, peace. Om Shanti, shanti, shanti - Peace
Namaste to you all.
