“What was that?" I answered, “A common film producer, like me, could do this work that has shaken the whole world. Is it not a miracle?" So, this is the miracle, that this work is not the handwork of a common person. The celestial entities are working behind the scenes and getting the work accomplished. Nowadays, I am in ecstasy when I sit for meditation, like an instrument with no personal ambitions. What is the point? Hoyeehen soyi jo Ram, rachi raakha?
I like the smile of the postman. In our villages the postman brings a money order of ten rupees which a son has sent from his earnings for his mother. Money has been sent by the son, the mother has a right to the money, but she calls in the postman, gives him a nice seat and serves him delicious jaggery tea and sweets, and says, “It's so nice of you to have brought me my son's money," although the postman has not really contributed anything in any way.
I have realized one thing: become an instrument. This is the greatest yoga. I have an intense desire to learn yoga. I feel like attaining some psychic powers and only for accomplishing some good deed for the benefit of others. Whenever I go before an adept, I open my bag and ask for something. I feel that I do not know how much longer I am going to live on this earth. I am already seventy five years old. I have no idea how many more years I have.
A lot of work is to be done as a service to Divine Mother Bhagavati. I am working on the life of Lord Sri Krishna, and sometimes she creates a resolution within me that the third thing I will work upon should be of the Divine Mother. I do not know if I have the time to accomplish it or if it shall be accomplished by someone else. This passes down from generation to generation.
A resolution comes to my mind that, since I have been talking of bhakti, I must talk of shakti too, the aspects of Durga. This mysticism is greatly misunderstood and very much misquoted. There are a lot of things that people cannot really understand. These yantras have been copied wrongly and even misused. So, I get an intuitive feeling, a resolution that the Divine Mother wants me to allay such misconceptions. I do not know how, only that the great yogis and adepts can guide me on the right path. If I have time, first I would like to finish the work on the life of Lord Krishna which is going to take a lot of time.
