……….In some people who are not yet evolved, certain races are not yet evolved to that extent, this wisdom is lacking. Apart from that, this wisdom gives us the sense of freedom. So we keep aloof from all kinds of intoxicant, all kinds of bad habits, we don’t like to look at nudity; it can never become the lifestyle of people who have wisdom, never. We don’t indulge into extra-marital nonsense. Whatever is absolutely in the centre, which is dharmic, we accept. So we can see that the seed of wisdom put into us makes us dharmic people when we grow, automatically. We are automatically dharmic. We don’t kill others, we don’t aggress others, we don’t torture others, we do not occupy anybody else’s land or house or take away anything, another’s property or another’s things. This wisdom comes to you through Sri Ganesha. In short He makes you absolutely ready for Self-realisation*. It is He, only, ultimately who looks after us at the time of our Nirvana, at the time of our Realisation, because He stops all other activities of excretion, when you are ascending into new realm. …..

So this wisdom is innate, just happens that when the Kundalini is rising He becomes, manifesting in us, I mean I should say, He makes us like a child. And that’s what Christ has said, that you have to be like children if you have to enter into the Kingdom of God. You become the child, at that time you become a child. And with the Kundalini rising, that wisdom comes into your brain. Because He is sitting on the Kundalini itself, He’s the power in the Kundalini. He gives wisdom in the brain, once you get that wisdom you drop out all bad habits, all your attachments which are wrong, all adharmic things that you do, everything drops out. He changes, your genetics are changed. The genetics of Sahaja Yogis are all them will be the same, about the same, I would say. And the genetics of other people will be different, maybe Indians might have closer to, it because Indians normally are very wise people. [……….]     A child who has wisdom is extremely cautious, he understands the importance of his life. He respects his parents, he respects everything; automatically – you don’t have to tell them. Automatically they know what is dharma is, you don’t have to tell them…..

So this wisdom part is so important, and that’s what we should ask Ganesha, to make us like children. Children have basically wisdom, but not all the children, this is the thing is that children in which Sri Ganesha has activated, has put this genetic of wisdom, it is there. …….
