Late Night Chat: New Life Day “The Rainbow Bridge”, Oct 16, 2022, live on Zoom

We have some informal chat after every arti, the "post-arti party"! But twice a week, Jeff Wolverton joins us for some serious mining of the spiritual depths. Join us for spontaneous chat, more readings, songs, quotes, you never know what treasures will be uncovered!

Jai Baba all,

Peter and I are so delighted and excited to be able to facilitate this chat. We both hold all of you so closely in our hearts so it is a real honor. Jeff leaves some big shoes to fill.

We just want to start by saying Happy Baba’s New Life Day. Jeff really hoped we would have a conversation regarding the “young people’s” life in Baba. We thought what an amazing way to pay homage to Baba’s New Life. We truly feel that all of us are living the New Life everyday. But unlike many of you, we, the young people, don’t have 40 years with the Beloved under our belts, and very few of us have met the manadali. Everything that connects us to Baba comes from the heart connection He blessed us with. Baba said, “This New Life will live by itself eternally, even if there is no one there to live it.” It is deeply rooted in Him.

We are called to forge our connections with Baba out in the world by making Him our constant companion. How do you do this in your life? We wholeheartedly feel there is no difference between the older and younger generation besides the period of time in which we were born. There is a supposed separation made between age groups, but we are living parallel paths. We are searching for a deeper oneness with Him within ourselves. Is this how Baba brings us all together? Is this separation actually there or is this us trying to keep Baba for ourselves?

We, the young people, want to assure everyone in the older generation that we are as radical in our Love for Baba as you all were and still are. After all, He is the King of Hearts. Age is not an exception to that. The main differentiation is that everything we do in our relationships with Baba is new and uncharted, hence always living what I call to be the New Life. Is this how Baba’s New Life is meant to manifest? How does it manifest in yours?

Do you feel the history is relevant or is Baba an ever present force that cannot be limited to the past of His life? Are we the continuation of the ever changing living legacy of Love? Many of us young ones were sent to the Youth Sahavas not necessarily seeking, and “stumbled” upon His Love. Is there an unsaid jealousy that we didn’t have to reach that point of desperation that you all did in your search? Most of us were dropped off at the Youth Sahavas against our will and glanced into our glowing reflections in the mirror of Love. Is there a feeling that we may not feel the same about Baba as the ones who longed for God consciously in this life because we were born into it, therefore it may not mean the same? Are we limiting ourselves from each other's insight and connection because we feel one’s love is greater than the other’s?

We know both sides of the coin. The younger generation doesn’t feel heard because there is a notion put upon us questioning how we could know anything about spirituality if we are so “young”? Can God’s Love be limited to age or is an endless recurrence spread throughout lifetimes? We have heard the longing of the older generation to share their stories from a plethora of life experiences with the Beloved. Perhaps we are here to build the Rainbow Bridge. Can we bring our Love together to help each other get closer to Him? After all we are all one, we are all Him. Are we merely carrying out the dance of Maya by claiming that there is a separation? Are we only hindering the oneness we all crave by creating separation between ourselves? There is no age in the spiritual game. Is this separation inevitable? Should we just shatter this idea of separation between ages and all come together? After all, aren't we all determined to be His?

In His Love,

Margi and Peter
