On the Road

Written by the WOPG Editorial Team

On Friday, February 4, an email went out to locals of southern California calling for a 4:00 p.m. meeting the following day. That Saturday, as attendees filed into the Malibu High School auditorium, it was obvious that something a little unexpected was about to happen. Photographers roamed, cameramen had already set up their equipment, and the stage held an empty yet familiar chair. After a brief presentation by the head of the Global Peace Initiative Department, Maharaji walked onstage, prompting a standing ovation from the four hundred or so that filled the hall.

For the next hour he spoke about many things, but focused on the power of transformation — and how transformation must always begin with understanding.

Here are some excerpts from his talk:

It doesn't take long for transformation to occur. It doesn't. All it takes is understanding. Once that understanding is there, there will be transformation. And of course we want that transformation to be for something good, for something better, for something beautiful.

It begins with the most simple, most profound, most singular thing in your life. This moment. And in this moment, the existence of this breath. Not a theory, but reality.

To have that time in which you're free from fear, from the encumbrances of life — when you can truly feel the peace inside of you — surely has to be heaven on earth.

I'd just moved to Chicago a few days before. When I got the news, at first my heart sank, "Oh, poor me, I can't be there. This isn't fair!" I was a sadling! Time soon lifted the veil of my ignorance and heart danced in joy that He did it! Watching the video, seeing the smiles on the faces of my friends... hearing this message of transformation that, as usual for the past 39 years, catches me in the nick of time and saves my ass again!! Thank YOU!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
