As a seed has got the potential to become a tree or a flower has a potential to become a fruit, in the same way this potential power should be within us, otherwise how are we to become something else? How are we to be born again? If you come to that conclusion, then you say that it is born with you. That is Sahaja. It is born with you. It is with you. It is your own power within yourself. So what is the difference? The difference is that, as human beings, now you have to know that you have become that. So far, up to this evolutionary process, it was not necessary for you to know that you have come from an amoeba to a fish, then onwards to human beings. It was not necessary for you to know. But at this stage, it is necessary that you should know. But why? Again the question comes in because “why” is the problem of today. The question comes in: why we should know? The question is all right. But the answer is like this: the evolutionary process until you became human beings was done without the freedom to choose. At this stage, you have the freedom to choose, to develop yourself in such a way that you have freedom to choose. Now once you have the freedom to choose, you choose correctly. And when you choose correctly, you get it because the evolutionary process now is a much higher thing and meant for people of great calibre, not for cheap people, frivolous people, people who have no self-esteem. It is not. It is meant for people of great calibre. Those of an ordinary nature cannot get it.
