Le Sahaj marg entre changement et continuité
“The visit to France and the gatherings in New Jersey have already
brought about many changes in the functioning of the Mission.(…)
He later met with around 150 prefects from North America, where he
mentioned some of the new changes the Hierarchy of Masters have permitted in
the Mission, as have also been indicated in recent messages from the Brighter
World.(…)”
Après ses voyages en
France et aux USA, Kamlesh Patel a effectué son tout premier voyage en Inde. Où
ça ? A Hyderabad, du 6 au 9 mars, il s’est rendu aux “Thumkunta ashram,
BHEL ashram, site of the Kanha project”.
Qu’y a-t-il dit ou
fait de particulier ?
Un nouvel appel à l’unité : “(…) our beloved Masters want to see
unity among us. We should do everything to maintain unity, harmony and peace.”
La confirmation
d’une évolution du rôle des précepteurs autorisée par la « Hiérarchie du
monde lumineux » pour faire plus de travail, avec une nouvelle
méthode : “(…) Later in the day, there was
a very lively interaction with a group of eighty-five preceptors. It was
largely focused on preceptors’ work. Master emphasised that the Hierarchy has
given us the permission to do more work. All need to use it wisely. The new
methods are in addition to the regular work all preceptors have been doing. The
whole session was informal and focused on the practical aspects of when and how
to use the new methods. There was a great deal of enthusiasm among preceptors
about the new possibilities for growth.(…)”
Tout cela est relaté
dans « Abhyasi bulletin », une nouvelle formulation de l’ancien Sahaj
sandesh, qui s’achève par ces 3 mots : “Accept, cooperate and obey”.
Est-ce la formule qui doit remplacer le
« serve and obey » de Chari ?
Puissent
tous parvenir un jour à modifier des réactions égotiques néfastes pour
l’ensemble de cette voie du cœur et particulièrement pour eux-mêmes. (…) »
Abhyasis
bulletin 2015.22 du 16 mars 2015 :
In February
of 2015, respected Kamlesh bhai announced that the Hierarchy of Masters of
Sahaj Marg has enabled preceptors worldwide with new responsibilities, in order
to better facilitate the growth of the Mission.
These new
permissions do not replace the existing practices of face-to-face individual,
group and introductory sittings. Instead, they are an additional way of
working, required for the increasing expansion of the Mission worldwide.
The
following changes are a result:
1. New
seekers are welcome to join a group meditation, without first having to take
separate introductory sittings.
2. Seekers
can be introduced to the practice of Sahaj Marg in groups on consecutive days
if individual introductions are not possible.
3.
Preceptors can give individual sittings to groups of abhyasis at one time.
4.
Preceptors can give individual sittings remotely when required. Remote sittings
can be given only if the preceptor confirms just beforehand that the abhyasi is
available and both sit at the same time.
5. Preceptors
can conduct group sittings remotely in cases where no local preceptor is
available, or where conditions are really too difficult to attend, e.g. bad
weather. They can also include those abhyasis who are unable to attend in
person for genuine reasons in the satsang.
Care and
wisdom are needed with our newfound freedom. For example, respected Kamlesh
bhai said recently, "It should not become a scenario of, 'Oh, brother, I
would like to have a long distance individual sitting now,' even though that
person is less than a kilometre away. No. That is what I call abusing the
system. So be careful. The greater the freedom that has been given to us, the
greater the responsibilities are on our shoulders.”
Preceptors
have been permitted to give remote sittings when there are genuine requests,
and not in instances where it would defy the spiritual culture, e.g. when an
abhyasi wishes to avoid taking a sitting from a local preceptor they do not
like, as this would lead to disharmony. Unity and brotherhood remain the
culture of Sahaj Marg.
Comme l’indique un
whisper (16 mars 2015), il semble bien que les changements concernant les
précepteurs, annoncés par Patel et voulus par la Hiérarchie (les médiums ?),
ont été contestés en interne :
« (…)
Les travers humains ne peuvent radicalement être occultés ; aplanir les
dissensions reste le challenge, la perfection n’existe pas encore sur la Terre
et cela n’est pas pour demain. Contester
des décisions prises au plus haut niveau n’est pas un signe de sagesse.
On notera une fois
de plus qu’émettre une critique à la SRCM s’apparente à des "travers
humains" et "des réactions égotiques néfastes"…
Il ne faut pas
chatouiller les médiums, mieux vaut les servir et leur obéir !
