Q: How do people from the west get enlightened? And how many people do you think that you've met have got enlightened?🔗

A: See, one thing, enlightenment is not restricted to east or west, please understand it is no way related to east or west. If you are clutched, even if you are an eastern person you cannot become enlightened. If you are unclutched, even if you are a western person, you can be enlightened. Once you are unclutched, where is the question of east or west?

Why I was praising about the east was this. The east some how created a situation or atmosphere in which you could easily unclutch yourself. Constantly the ideas about unclutching are put into your head. That is the only plus point of the east, otherwise nothing else. It's great in the east. That's why I tell people to come to Bharat.

For a premature baby what you need is an incubator. You put the baby for three or four months, until it is ready and until it can live with the world, live with the atmosphere safely. Same way the east is a spiritual incubator.

Bharat is a spiritual incubator, where even if you don't want, even if you are an atheist, somehow some ideas will be put inside your head. Even if it's religious, even if it's a low level religious ritual thing, something beyond your mind exists. That concept will start going inside. So that will help to do the preliminary work. So it is easy for the second level work or the high level work.

See now, I say rituals will not work and japa is not going to help. People who have practiced will be able to relate with me more deeply, than people who have not practiced. That is the reason I tell in the east, it is a little easier. As far as unclutching is concerned whether it is east or west I am giving a new technology that is directly helpful for everybody.

It does not matter whether you are from the East or the West; just unclutch. Do not create one more identity that you are from east or you are from west; that's enough that you are unclutched.

I have an individual and unique attitude with everybody. That's all. Everybody is unique. With everybody I cherish a different kind of relationship. That's all. According to me, friendliness is the only kind of relationship that will stay. All other relationship may be there because of fear or greed, but which will not stay which is dangerous.

I am afraid of people who come straight away and touch my feet. Because I know, it is not a mature relationship, maybe just their imagination about their guru. They project that on me and when I don't match with that they will blame me. As long as I play their game, I do their homework, I am God. When I don't do their homework, they will pull me down from the throne; so I believe only in friendliness.

For some people who may experience something with me, experience some truth with me, they say he is God, nothing but God. For some people who may not be able to connect with me, who may not be able to relate with me I am of no consequence. It is a purely subjective experience. If someone feels as if they are helped by me, beautiful, as long as you feel helped by me and I feel helped by you, let us have the relationship, over. When you feel you are not helped by me, say bye. Beautiful, that's all. That is the only thing that can be done.
