1999-06-24 Can we change genes of violence?

I bow to all the seekers of truth. First of all, we have to know what is the truth. People are seeking, seeking, seeking, seeking all over. But they don’t know what they are seeking and what should they get after their seeking. This seeking can lead you into many diverse directions. [...] So what has to happen? We talk of a last breakthrough of the evolution. How do you achieve it? When you are evolved up to the stage of human beings. We have to know one thing for definitely. That there’s something missing within us. Otherwise, the world would have been a most beautiful place, the paradise to live in. But something’s wrong with human beings and what is that? Is to understand how we have come up through evolution. And as human beings, there are so many things of the animal stage lingering within us. The way we talk, the way we try to oppress others, the way we talk to sort of dominate others. The way we want to snatch everything, the way we are only worried about our food. This, that. [...] So, to achieve a higher awareness there must be some arrangement between us. And that is the arrangement we are not aware of. And that arrangement is that within you is the power. It’s your own power. To give you this last breakthrough Through the awakening of that power, already you have been told about it. It exists, it’s there. And It is the right of every human being to get his self-knowledge, self-realization. ‘Sahaja’, ‘Saha’ means born with you. With you is born the right. And why should we not ask our fundamental rights society? That we should have our Self-realization which is your own. It is there already placed within you. You don’t have to do anything, of course, you can’t pay for it. How much did you pay for your evolution so far? And how can it be different from different people? Because in every human being this power, which we call as Kundalini exists. Whether he is white, black, yellow, blue any colour. Whether he belongs to north or south, anyplace. Whether he belongs to this country or that country. They all have this power universally placed it their Kundalini. Even if I say, “Everybody has a heart”. So why should we have differentiation? But this mind, this human mind creates this differentiation. And this problem saying that, “Of course, they are not of our country, they don’t belong to our group”. And like animals again, we start getting into groups, groups of different – I don’t know, denomination – like some people have their fork and spoon put this way. So, they are one group. Some people drink coffee, so they have a group like that, you see. We are very good at forming groups. This is also animal instinct, I think, that we try to form groups of such stupid things. And then we can have wars. Because we must fight. “We are a group, something great, so we should fight others”. All these instincts, that are within us, are inherited. They have come to us. They say it is in our genes. Still, can we change the genes? Can we transform our personality into something higher? And for that, I tell you, there is a power within us. All of you have that power within you. And what does it give you? It passes through six centres [five], as told you, it nourishes, it integrates it, and ultimately it pierces through the last fontanel bone area. We can call that actualisation of the baptism. And it’s connected to the All-pervading Power of divine love. Again, I say ‘love’, divine compassion and divine love. So you get connected to that Power which is All-pervading. If you ask a doctor, “Who runs our heart?” He’ll say, “It’s the autonomous nervous system”. But what, who is the auto? Who does all these things? Who does all the living works? Look at these flowers, beautiful. Who has made these flowers? Such a different, different flower. How does this Mother Earth differentiate and how she gives all these flowers? Do we think about it? We take it for granted. All living work we take it for granted, but it is done by this divine Power. Believe me. There is this divine power around us which protects us, which looks after us, which guides us and also above all it loves us. And it cares for us. It wants, that we should all receive the blessings of this All-pervading Power.
