The Shy Devotee

I've come upon several types of devotees of Maharajji. Each has their own unique relationship with him. Whether they are rich or poor, eastern or western, young or old, man or woman, the common thread that connects all of us is Love. I've seen a lot of religious sects and a lot of different kinds of people belonging to religious groups, in my personal experience none are as kind and loving as the devotees of Maharajji. There's an extremely subtle sense of unity which doesn't just limit itself to Neem Karoli Baba or Hanuman, this energy that Maharajji radiates in all the houses that even have a picture of him permeates into the family and makes them welcome the stranger and extend a helping hand to each other. It's like they become him and it's beautiful to watch.

Somehow, most of the devotees that I've come across end up feeling a transcendental sense of satisfaction in their lives. Moving closer and closer to Maharajji, their ambitions become transformed into grace, their sense of competition with one another disappears, and they somehow end up very content with what they have. This is especially true among the Indian devotees (I haven't been outside oflndia yet, most of my western Satsang is on Facebook). Some devotees are even afraid of acquiring wealth because they fear it will disrupt their frequency of Bhakti and make a mess. Maharajji has been known to have said:

"MONEY BRINGS ANXIETIES"

Well, it is true that money brings unnecessary anxiety, but sometimes it can also make our lives better. The thing about Maharajji is he can do whatever he wants. It's just the nature of God. He made Steve Jobs a billionaire, he's brought back people from the dead, he's cured the blind and he continues to perform his miracles from his non-physical perspective as of now. He is a Genie that can grant any wishes of a sincere heart. Now, from my experience, he doesn't like two things. Firstly, he doesn't like it when I doubt him, he's given me more than enough evidence to show me his sovereignty and divine nature, Secondly he doesn't like it when I don't have enough faith in him to ask him for what I want.

On one hand we have an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent shapeshifting personally available God who's eagerly waiting for his devotees communicate with him so he can perform a Lila, and or answer their prayers; and on the other hand we have what I like to call 'a shy devotee' who's too shy to ask his Guru for stuff Contrary to most people who only go to God when they need something, this is quite the juxtaposition.

Just ask and Maharaj-ji will give you whatever you want!

As our SatGuru he is responsible for our wellbeing, we have surrendered our hearts and souls to him. If we need a better car to drive up the hills or a better guitar to sing the kirtan or more money to take care of the family and buy better quality food for everyone HE WILL GIVE IT TO US. However, he's very intelligent and we cannot hoodwink him. He will do what's best for the devotee, but it's not unfair to ask him for things we need.

If you're alone and want a partner - ASK MAHARAJJI
If you don't feel abundant and want more money- ASK MAHARAJJI
If you can't kick a habit and need help -ASK MAHARAJJI
If you want to heal an 'incurable disease' -ASK MAHARAJJI
If you're a devotee from a long time and want a dream visit - ASK MAHARAJJI

DON'T BE SHY

However, the way in which he answers prayers and reaches out to his devotees and fulfils their wishes is tailor made for each person. For some he might just give them what they want immediately. For others, he might give a clue or an intuitive knowing of what the next steps to be taken are. In some cases, he gives a diversion from an entire journey to bring something else to the table that we possibly didn't know existed. Whatever the method in which he answers, HE WILL ANSWER OUR PRAYERS. For me, I had a broken heart and a failing career as a musician and no idea of what I'm going to do in these times. I asked him to help me, he gave me the understanding (through a long and complicated process) that I'm meant to write books. I finished one book and am writing this one now. I'm really loving the process. I asked Maharajji for money, he gave me a new career. Also, I asked him for friends as I'd lost all my old friends, and he gave me new and amazing groups of friends in the form of new Satsang. He is quite the playful loving and friendly Deity, he loves to be conversed with and made to feel like a friend, not just a Guru or God.
