My conversations with Swami Shivanandji on an auspicious day-II

#224

Dear readers, as was informed to you two days earlier that the next 4 articles will be from Pondicherry, this article is composed from this very special place. Pondicherry is so appropriate for a seeker as it provides all the necessary requirements needed to do each one’s own sadhana and yoga.

My first visit after my arrival at 7.00 pm at Ma’s ashram.

I needed uninterrupted attention and complete focus and I am getting it here and I had a lovely start in the morning where I am putting up.

The place adds so much energy to the substance of my write ups and I am certain that everyone will be promoting their progress with the special energy that is supplied by places which are abundant with powerful spiritual vibrations.

Moving on, let us now proceed to the important part of the conversation between Swami Shivanandji and me in Pondicherry today.

I was in deep communion with Swamiji between 5 and 6 a.m. today and I reproduce some part of that dialogue by keeping the continuity of my conversations with him for the benefit of all the interested people.

15.12.14.

Swamiji: “In olden days, there was a lot of greenery and people were so less in number. It was quiet and peaceful. Some rare Brahmaveta Guru would ensure that the sacred knowledge of God realization that he possesses should be passed on to some one else before he dies. He would therefore make a small hermitage in a secluded place, mostly near a river bed and select a few deserving students. Out of many, he would choose only one or two at the most and over a period of a few years complete the procedure of transferring his accomplishments to the deserving students. All this would happen in a very loving and peaceful atmosphere.

Students came from far and wide and would try their best to become a suitable candidate for achieving the most precious vidya or knowledge called Brahma Vidya. To assist the process, yoga and pranayam were also practiced and the students would do anything to please their masters and gurus so that they would qualify and complete their degrees and specialize in their subjects.

However, the situation is a contrast today. There is rapid urbanization and the villages are impoverished. The city life is very hectic and there are no forests or open spaces where people can breath fresh air. And because the population is dense, the air is laden with so many thoughts floating that the minds of people are not calm. There is a sea of thoughts that float in the air and tranquility deprived. Also, the greed and imitation of acquiring worldly wealth is phenomenal in Kaliyug thus preventing them to remain in a peaceful atmosphere. It will take a little more than ten thousand years for the Earth to recover its rapid erosion and the values of Eternal Dharma or Sanatan Dharma to return and bring back peace, harmony and tranquility globally.

In the primitive times, it was easy to practice Pranayam, kriya, sukshma dhyan or meditation on very subtle planes in placid environments. But today all this is not possible for the majority of people who live in cities, only few can avail the prospects of living in clean and quiet environment to attain their spiritual pursuits and undertakings.

Many saints and seers, including me in consultation with Shri Mahavatar Babaji more than ten years ago decided to innovate and we came up with an entirely new school of thought whereby maximum help could be provided to maximum people to hasten the kaal chakra or time wheel from Kaliyug to Satya yug. Seeing the number of wrongdoers posing as saints who are frauds, profiteers, deceivers and betrayers rising everyday, it was arrived at a consensus after God’s approval to initiate a novel way of transmitting the ancient knowledge in today’s modern world. Technology and electronics would be used to transmit the given sacred knowledge from one person living on Earth who would acquire Brahma Vidya from us from the astral plane and through internet, home lessons would be distributed. Shri Mahavatar Babaji would be the chief associate who would decide what the context and content should be and how long the enterprise or initiative would continue. You were chosen by everybody to stay on the Earth and communicate with Shri Mahavatar Babaji who is living in seclusion in Himalayas and the saint community who is presently in a Spirit state in the various regions of the sky. Your blog is the platform and forum from where various activities are undertaken and an attempt to cover maximum candidates is achieved.”

I was listening to the flow of important messages very attentively and was also waiting to learn something special as I know that Swamiji would have a lot stored inside him, a treasure of knowledge that he has. Knowing my deep interest and aiming at teaching us something new in current days, he told me more.

Swamiji: “The next two weeks time is important. Keep vigil on your progress and dedicate this period in rapid learning after which you shall get a rest period. A flood gate has been thrown open by us by which many drowning men can save their lives. They will be intimidated and shaken up after which they will begin to reform and upscale their inner lives. You will have to monitor their progress and they will surely show tremendous progress.”

Me: “Definitely Swamiji, I will see to it that we do not be lethargic and must improve our present  level.”

Swamiji: “Now I will fulfill your wish and will tell you something vital.

There are  5 elements in the Universe, 5 elements in the physical body and 5 elements in the subtle body called manas. Dharti, jal, agni, vayu, aakash– Earth, water, fire, air and space.

Dharti, Earth and jal, water are  found before the navel at muladhar chakra as well as around navel, agni at navel and little above navel, vayu at 6th chakra at throat, the seat of manas and akash or space at 7th chakra.

Earth and water come from food and water (respiration) from nature. Energy is formed and is fire in the form of calories. Thoughts do not stay in one place and are flowing hence has vayu or air. And to realize God, we require very fine and refined cosmic elements in the form of selfless virtues such freedom, truth, forgiveness, love, compassion, dedication and so many more great qualities. Akash, space is needed for contemplation, meditation and soaking of all thoughts about the form and characteristics of God in us.

(This is a very concise version)

These 5 elements are also in extremely micro levels, in our mind or manas in the form of thoughts. Our quality of thoughts depend on the chemistry of food, habits, austerity, conduct and spiritual practices as tapas and a few more causes.

The 5 elements’ proportion keeps changing according to diet, location or environment, thought process and destiny or karmas. Balancing it is important otherwise the mind spoils its peace. Yoga, rest, meditation and guru bhakti are essential to maintain this balance. From time to time, the inner Guru will guide you to eat, think and behave righteously.

Nature is very essential, quietude and lack of noise is of paramount importance. Since in today’s time all this is not possible easily, we also made a plan to solve this problem. Doing Kriya or pranayam is not being rigorously stressed by us because of polluted air and noise pollution. To counter this deficiency, we devised a unique charter and plan. From time to time, you should go to places where your life slows down, you have mental peace and rest, you should attain higher progress and also achieve some powerful vibrations from ancient places by undertaking various pilgrimages. There is one place which I advise you and a selected few others to go to-Omkareshwar.

Since it is not very well connected with other places, it still retains its magnitude and spiritual power. The place is serene and quiet and you must also spend some or a few days in a quiet ashram and practice silence and Kriya and meditation. Even if you do it once in 3 years, the advantages would be so many. Many sages have blessed that place and if you can spend some time in that quiet and holy place, the difference will be huge. Maharishi Kashyap’s everlasting presence and spiritual vibrations are very prominent in this temple area. Those who wish to learn more about Truth and Light must make the attempt of visiting this place and get his favours and blessings!

I have given you this exclusive knowledge because you are a worthy disciple. You are now going to embark on a new, higher journey and that is- from today you shall dispense Prabhutva Gyan, extremely blazing knowledge. It requires sukshma buddhi and akash; very fine intellect, and sky or ether is of vital importance. Hence, you must spend some time everyday in a garden or a park and sit under the sky to bring back the balance of all elements. As you are doing  a lot of mental activities, you burn a lot of your mental calories. Some comes from food and some from the sky or akash.”…..

I finish this post by bowing down humbly and respectfully in the refuge and sacred feet of Maharishi Kashyap and Maharishi Shivanandji. They both are so lofty and humble and I pray to God to give me the strength and humility to fulfill all my duties and roles so that  their mission is accomplished for the salvation of humankind.

My conversations with Swami Shivanandji on an auspicious day-I

#223

IMAG0609

Part A

12.12.14 morning, 8.00 a.m.

My meditations are getting intense with the grace of Swami Shivanandji these days. There has been no blog post on Spiritinlife after I finished the series of 5 posts one on each day after I returned from Omkareshwar in the month of October. However, there have been many short conclusive posts on Face Book in this absence; they were necessary before we embarked on a higher altitude of our spiritual journey in order to enhance our sadhana wherever we are. Some explanations were necessary before complicated theories and themes were addressed. Some themes are gentle and easy to understand, others are tricky and complicated because there are many underlying causes and concealed laws which are not easy to fathom by normal people. A new vision, more revealing and opening of concealed truths lying hidden in the astral world with the sages and highly illumined soul entities was mandatory at the stage where the blog is.

During this time period, I also experienced many tumultuous days; nevertheless the sense of oneness with Swamiji has not broken. He is tutoring and mentoring me for a worthy purpose. He has been clearing my path where so many subtle opponents in the ether were blocking the track of scaling. Such phenomenon are common to all genuine seekers if they wish to continue ascending on the endless path of deeper realizations regarding God and of other related occult or supernatural phenomena related to the hidden forces of nature in the Cosmos of which we are an integral part. A highly resourceful and exalted Guru will see to it that success is achieved in those cases where the desire in the learner is unstoppable and who has exceptional determination. In such a case, there is no end to ascending of that soul who has submitted himself or herself with great respect and devotion to the revered, holy Master who is either appointed by God or in some rare cases, the illustrious, compassionate Guru decides on its own and takes up some proficient students and starts tutoring on a high scale for special advanced knowledge.

A poem was issued on Face book by me whose title was ‘The Hidden Light’ of December 4th 2014, in which I have conveyed all my received knowledge through mental communications with revered Swami Shivanandaji after my intense communique with him in the morning. Please read it with attention, I have duplicated it here for your convenience.

The hidden Light!

Said me-

“Wonderful meditations, endless mercy I have from you my respected, holy Satguru.

Every day is a special awakening as you make me walk up each step carefully.

Without your compassion and kindness, who can show progress inner and outer so fast and easily?

I have come in your refuge to receiver more education and knowledge that liberated souls have after they come Home.”

Said he-

“Life does not end, incarnations don’t stop once we are liberated because the soul never dies.

Whether we wear the physical case or live on the astral plane without it, the Spirit is alive.

You have come so far on merely your own industriousness, with lack of support and without any hype.

I have blessed you profusely as it is difficult to find a soul who only works for the Divine and does not want rewards of any type.

People must learn from you what it is to live a secluded life, serve the holy Masters and at no time wanders your mind.

The riches of the world have never attracted you because you have seen the ephemeral nature of this transitory, earthly tenancy.

I have chosen you to do my work for the simple reason that your heart is forever filled with love, compassion and perennial service.

I will give you knowledge that I have never given to anybody so far, the reason is that I have seen relentless consistency in you as well as seen you performing your spiritual duties in boundless years.

The community of sages and great thinkers are wondering what is she made up of? She never tires and has always been thinking.

Where will this path of God take me, what more is there to see and know, which great beings are resting in the heavens and what will I be if I mingle with Thee insanely?

People have come and gone, some have rebuked you, some insulted, so many ignored you, most of the near ones decided to see the level of material affluence and don’t care for you.

Bhagwat Geeta has also emerged amid hatred, carnage, anger, enmity, jealousy and incompetency; the lotus of purity, detachment and aloofness always blooms inside stagnant ponds and will not wither or even wilt.

Great incarnations are rare to see as people are stuck with narrow ideas, lower consciousness, lower living standards and are endlessly lazy.

Their purview is superficial, eyes closed, body lethargic, mind corrupt with material hoardings, and they wish to have a life which has great peace of mind!

How is it possible to walk on two bridges which are never going to meet at any point? How can they be blissful if they have never sat down to know where is the real source of divine beings?

You have invited them, you have hinted and prodded them, but their lethargy and huge bag of pride never breaks them free.

Endless lives wasted, they will never get to see a glimpse of hope of divine teachings and sacred moments with the Almighty and the blessings of great incarnations ready to forever help,\.

Hope should be revived in those who are humble, who surrender to the force of that great Shakti; who will mend their ways and they should always be careful and vigilant now.

I will come and assist you from so very, very far you will not come to know; but she will tell you who I was and what I continuously do.

She does not rest a moment, she works for me and many other souls of dignity, she will take you step by step, she will tell you what mistakes you always repeat and do.

I have so much to tell and so much to explain, but your mind is so narrow and small, therefore I have chosen her to be my assistant in order to teach you something worthwhile.

Respect her, love her, show her your difficulties, she has access to so many powers which she has never exhibited.

She and I are one in mind and spirit and will work from hereon to greatest heights, remember this page is the turning point and crucial point of spiraling dizzy, new horizons.

If you miss this time, you will always feel bitter and regret for the slowness of your consciousness, lack of quick action and the boat will leave you and go.

More pages will fill up quickly where I will speak with the will of God to the world, so better be prepared mentally and physically.

I will come to you so many times hidden in these words and sentences and thoughts extremely grave and restricted to my own family.

Those who obey, learn; those who search, find; those who consecrate, they get; those who listen, absorb; those who do not wander here and there, they soon reach.

Therefore, listen to everything that emerges out of Light of God and me; she is a work station, she is my receiving station and she is my official server!!”

Part B

I have had many more personal, long interactions with Swami Shivanandji of Divine Life Society, Rishikesh during my meditations while I was going to Dwarahat in September, 2014. To my good fortune, I have the great privilege of having profound mental connections with him; he is in the highest realms of the celestial world and very difficult to approach. He gets perturbed by the faint, noisy wavelengths of the people reaching him and the commotion of disharmonious thoughts of the people who belong to Earth. In a short spell of time, he has taught me so many new things about multiple subjects- yoga of body and mind, Ayurveda, medicinal properties of some herbs, of human history of yoga, god union, lives of some great sages and the common practices of humans in primitive times in their pursuit to know the source of this creation, called God. He has also divulged many secrets about my yogic life; past and present, what my future holds for me.Besides, how I should take care of my fragile health now caused due to excessive travelling and erratic schedule during the rapid formation of the blog since the past more than three grilling years.

I saw Swami Shivanandji when I was in deep inner attention on 1.12.14 morning with profuse golden light. He was in a profound state of continued meditation. Out of that golden Light a thin silver coloured, thread like passage was formed and my forehead and his forehead were joined with that silver light and the communication lasted more than two hours. The interaction and direction was on various subjects beginning from family matters to personal, then shifting to my health. Finally it moved to future plans of mine about how I should plan my next few months.

Simultaneously, several images were being formed in my head as he was transferring me his thoughts in a pictorial slide. I also saw a range of steeply high, truly vertical mountains in vast forestry where I am climbing the top of one of that very steep mountains.  After scaling with great effort with a rope hanging in the air, I push myself hard to reach up and lastly I lift my right leg on the flat plane of the top of the mountain and arrive on it. I was breathing heavily. When I look down from the peak after alighting, I see that the mountain is very high and vertically steep. I look everywhere on all the other neighbouring mountains, I find nobody and the whole atmosphere was absolutely quiet…..

Now deciphering this vision to convey what it means. I have spoken with Swamiji after this pictorial slide and I narrate my conversations with him-

Swamiji: “Don’t be bewildered with this imagery. It is me who wishes to speak to you with a galore of imagery so that you are convinced about my foretelling. It is not possible to come here, upto me, and you will see nobody in this place because it is not likely by anyone to reach this far. I too cannot see anybody, I am placed very far in the atmosphere. Very few come uptil here.

As I told you several times that I will reveal many things to you with the consent of God which were not open publicly, I will first disclose that there are more than 7 levels of consciousness or Chetna. So far, this was kept hidden from the masses because God wanted to give this sacred knowledge to the sacred souls of extreme elevated levels of Supreme Consciousness. However, as it has been decided by God and the saints’ community to make a document of sacred, hidden, divine laws through this blog for a road map for the mankind in Kaliyug, I wish to tell the world that there are higher realms or stages of spiritual consciousness other than stage 7, Brahmarandra or Crown Chakra.

The sacred Souls who were born in primitive times in ancient eras have progressed a lot and are highly in elevated because of their penance and service to God even if they do not have a body all the time.

You have come so far because of your own tapasya, you are fearless and daunting. It has been more difficult for you than others. Such spiritual pursuits require solitude, deep tranquility and silence in the surroundings but you are all the time facing various challenges and the noise of city. Nobody can come so far, where you are placed today is a place where there are hardly any souls. The air gets very thin and rarefied as one climbs higher ranges. People who start from level 5 of consciousness cannot even reach level 7 in one life and you have crossed so many more levels in one life itself. Souls who are always doing good for others begin to progress very rapidly after a certain stage if they wish to do so.”

Me: “Respected Swamiji, I feel very blessed beyond words to have you in my life. Please accept my most wholehearted gratitude and genuine respects at your lotus, holy feet. I always feel immensely for you and am unable to even express myself out of my sincere reverence. I have always liked you very much but I never knew that someday you will be my teacher also. My heart always fills up with excessive gratitude and reverence when I see you. I will always obey you. If you are giving me your darshan, surely there is a reason, a good reason and I must respond sensibly. Please tell me something for myself because of which I can advance a little more on my path. I am at crossroads where I do not know what is next for me. I have been showered with so many blessings that my heart is extremely satisfied and full. But after getting the good fortune of having your darshan, I am compelled to say that please bless me and it will be my good luck if you touch my head with your blessed hand. That is all, I want nothing more.”

Swamiji: “When you came to me to Rishikesh many years back, I was joyous. I always knew who you were and what prospects lay ahead for you. I was silent and waited for the most appropriate time to speak to you. Now I will take you to those heights which you have never even imagined since you are intensely interested in your welfare.

Your present life has been very tumultuous because you have enjoyed the unique privilege and permission from God of burning off karmas of upcoming four lives’ destiny in one life, apart from sanchit karmas (accumulated karmas) of past so many lives. This has never been done before. This translates as- you have undergone life experiences of next forthcoming four lives in one, and to save precious time you agreed to eliminate all the good fortunes and comforts of those four yet to come lives. Those good times and fortunes will be given in some other future lives still to be incarnated. You had the fiery desire to have Moksha in this very life which you accomplished desperately. You did not wait till the impending fourth incarnation in which it was meant to be. Instead, you have fast forwarded even Moksha and after accomplishing it in the minimum possible time, you have gone further ahead and reversed so many laws of fate and karmas. You have accelerated your spiritual growth to phenomenal heights by merely devoting and immersing yourself completely in your flawless trust and faith in Shri Mahavatar Babaji and other associated saints. By the approval and will of God, he gave you the most difficult and challenging tasks to do in the pursuit of raising you higher and more higher. You surpassed everybody and have discarded all comforts, securities, success and prosperity to be able to achieve as much as possible in this very life distinctly in agreement with God’s wish.

Why we are taking such great care of you?

It is because you have left everything to God and have articulated to God quietly that whatever fate or life situations have to be given to you is acceptable humbly, you have no petition. You were passive and an onlooker in so many life circumstances which were extremely painful and unbearable to face. But then again, your faith in God and the saint community did not waver at all. You alone have handled so much tremors that humanly it is next to impossible to bear. Your unending faith in us keeps you going and you are tireless. Such persons are God’s own choice in selection of Messengers and workers in His ceaseless work in His establishment……”

The conversation was very long and comprehensive.

Swamiji: “Once you asked me in my ashram in Rishikesh that I look very brilliant to you and you wished to know my identity because you know that only those people can do extra ordinary deeds in their present life if they have done great deeds in their past lives too. You wished to trace me. You also wondered how come I have such an impressive, hardy and solid physical body. You have looked at my body in the photos of my ashram in Rishikesh intriguingly and were impressed and have been trying to know more but have waited patiently till you found out some day.

Recently I told you about myself and who I was. Tell the world that I am Maharishi Dadhichi, who sacrificed his life for the welfare of all the people. I became Swami Shivananda in recent times and did penance in many, many lives and incarnations. I have also told you about two more prestigious lives and I have spent many lives being either a Sage or a son of a Sage prior to that.* I have mastered yoga, meditation and medicine. I also advised you in Rishikesh when you returned from Dwarahat this time in September, 2014 that you should have so much power in your mind that nothing should be able to annoy or break you. God told you in Rishikesh in your meditation about me that my mind power is such that if I command the earth to split, it will crack up and open! It is called Sankalpa Shakti. My mind’s power is extra ordinary and I wish you to have the same power with your mental practices and God communion.

I and Agastya Maharishi are going to do a joint effort in Pondicherry and will make you write 4 articles; 2 each from me and 2 from him. Today I want to tell everybody that before long, you will meet Shri Mahavatar Babaji personally because of your tapasya and you will also work in co-ordination with him and us. You are creating history because who ever met Shri Mahavatar Babaji earlier was not from your level of understanding. You will understand him far better and you will become his messenger in future as he cannot come in public to address it. You will become the messenger of God and Babaji and will tell the world about so many ancient things and the facts about the all mighty Supreme God……”

(To be continued in next post due shortly from Pondicherry)

Swami Shivananda of Rishikesh was born as my son ample times. I was his father also when he was born as Dadhichi Rishi in Haridwar. His forte and specialization is also the same as mine-Vichar or Sankalpa Shakti-thought power. He is also empowered in many fields of Yogic Sciences. It was him who took you up formally for training and developing your thought power in 2014. You have gone to Rishikesh alone many times to be under his tutelage. After that you have not looked back. His Gurus are-me and Swami Kartikeyan, lord Shiva’s son. They both have tutored and mentored you and you have never been indifferent to any of their commands even if they have asked you to wake up in the middle of night. It is for this reason that you are now under my tutelage and you are a shining star because you have obeyed all our instructions with all your devotion, respect and awe.

Maharishi Kashyap-Truth in Light! From Dwarahat to Jyotirlinga  Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar pilgrimage filled with Truth and Light-II.

#221

Part A

Spreading Light of God from an energy hub for all sincere aspirants for redemption

Maharishi Kashyap was telling me such sublime matters that I could not dissipate my focus for a moment. I will treasure that meditation forever. For the first time, I had come across him in my subtle meditation. I wanted to know so much from him.  I have deepest respect him for his hard toil as tapasya for which he had become Nitya Jyot, permanent Light and procures such an exalted place for himself in the far most regions of Space. Who would have believed it what we only learnt in school books as history or social or moral science lessons would come alive one day? I had never dreamt of such a thing happening to me, not the least.

My most unexpected visit to Manasa Foundation in Bangalore on 22nd Aug 2014, by sheer good luck charged me up with my new found energies. My coming in touch with Saptrishi mandala refreshed my awareness and receptivity with the great seven Sages of India of ancient times. They were working from the highest skies in the Universe so silently and had made their receiving centre in a remote corner of Bangalore in modern rishis’ modern gurukul. I was so amazed to see historical pyramids made in modern times to channel fresh light energies to striving as well as all lost and wandering souls on Earth. Besides, it was also to sustain the work of God and all the exalted souls to preserve, nourish and sustain us and our planet. This is not all, the very slow procedure of evolution of Spirit of all men has been assigned to these compassionate beings and they all act in unison and agreement so that the gigantic silent work of human emancipation does not stop any time. Such massive work being done so quietly there!  In addition, I also found similar specialty in one more place-Omkareshwar!

About Omkareshwar 

Omkareshwar is a reclusive temple as it is cut off from main cities and is nestled in a serene environment. It is abounding with serenity; it has been designed in such a fashion. Less people come here. It is with the pure intention of separating the people who come in throngs and have very basal qualities; they defile the place. God has something for everybody; no one is left without getting his attention and grace. Being situated on a small mountain with the sacred river flowing besides it, that specialty adds to the overall energy and force. At the same time, the same river and mountain makes it so serene and peaceful!

The Shivalinga has rubbed off by constant touching by devotees over years. A glass cover has been placed to avoid further damaging of the idol. Taking pictures were allowed and we managed to take just two or three from top of the glass shield. Pouring of water and milk is also through copper pipes so that they flow downwards and not on the idol.

Meditating at this place was my prime aim and goal. As soon as we left our car in the parking lot and sat in the boat, we saw the serene atmosphere. We had decided that we will not skip our meditation and on the contrary we will enhance its intensity with the advantage of its exclusive vibrations. It was grace from God and we had come from so far and hence we must not let go of this great opportunity even if we had less time and the temple would close at 12 pm. After a small puja with the priest in the hall, we requested him to wait in the walkway and give us some private time for ourselves.

A dense stream of light was approaching from the upper region and falling on the Shivalinga made of primitive black stone. I saw this when I sat in the hall for more than twenty minutes and fell into a deep absorbed state. The original place had so much light that just a few people could bear to see. As the temple is now being visited by a great number of people unconsciously, we are losing the meaning of its presence and the reasons of its inception; God told me through these streams of Light filtering in the centre of the idol and also enveloping me.

Jyotirlinga on tapa sthal

Whenever some soul tries very hard to gain access into Spiritual depths with acute efforts first time on any part of Earth initially, that part is made sure of not getting defiled as God protects that place. On the same spot, some more aspirants are attracted and directed by God over a period of time and in the process the place becomes highly charged with spiritual energies. On such spots sparkling with pious energies, God someday inspires someone to make a temple of great importance. The 12 Jyotirlingas are such spots. They all are swayambhu or risen itself from the Earth. Thousands of years back, someone made a temple of Shiva and they were found again accidentally and we are worshiping in the same places. And those ancient temples were made on spots that have been charged earlier by many yogis, tapasvis and yoginis and people who were genuinely good, charitable and did good for others.

It takes thousands of years for God to generate a place like that so that sincere seeking souls get quick redemption and results given. When such pure souls come attracted to highly charged places, they leave behind their powerful energies thus keeping the place charged most of the time. Apart from this, the saints and sages who are in Space out of body are given charge of some specific areas on Earth to recharge them with their individual mental and Spiritual Powers so that any curious or aspiring aspirant gets recharged soon and progresses rapidly.

I was initiated into a few new types of Kriyas during this short period. I had prayed to God and Shri Mahavatar Babaji many times in the last many years to initiate me into that but the time had not arrived. A few months ago, I was given an indication that I would receive it in a Shiva temple. I decided to wait patiently for that auspicious day. In meditation I thanked all those particularly Lord Shiva and Shri Mahavatar Babaji for giving me such a pious gift in such a sacred place. I quickly revised the holy act in front of Lord Shiva and took his nod to give his approval if I had picked it up correctly.

After I was told that my job is over, I happily left the place and had my heart so full of gratitude that words are always falling short. I prayed for all of you and your progress and requested God to give everyone His blessings whoever it be.

Part B

There is Truth in Light

To finish my conversation with Maharish Kashyapa, let us know focus on that. He said,

“Kyunki Ishawar ki ichcha hai ki mei tumko kuch bataun sab ke liye jo pahele kabhi kisi ko Ishwar ne nahi bataya, to suno”

“As it is the will of God that I must tell you something for the humanity that has never been told before by Him, so listen to this-

“Mei sada satya mei raheta hoon. Ananda ke baad Satya hai. Satya Prakash mei hai. Prakash tumhare andar hai. Samadhi teen prakar ki hoti. Teen awastha hoti hai-ananda, shanti aur phir satya.

“I always live in Truth. Beyond Ananda, there is Truth. Truth is in Light. Light is in you. Samadhi are of three types. There are three stages-Ananda, Shanti, Satya. First is bliss, then peace and finally Truth.”

Further he said-

“Omkareshwar mandir bahut achcha hai, mujhe bahut pasand hai. Aise mandir jahan bante hai, vahan bahut tapasya ki hoti hai. Wah bahut puratan hai, karib 28,000 hazar varsh purana, sahi batau to 27,782 varsh purana.”

“Omkareshwar temple is very good, I like it very much. Such temples are made on places where great penance has been done. It is very ancient. It is less than 28,000 years old. To be exact it is 27,782 years.”

Rest of the communications I shall conclude in English.

“I meditate continuously and I am in deep Samadhi for many days. I don’t like to be interrupted or disturbed. I send out my energies to the Earth in a few places like Omkareshwar temple and Manasa Foundation. If you wish to communicate with me, then please visualize yourself sitting in the main Tower of Manasa, and convey your thoughts. I shall answer there. The seekers of Bangalore should go to Manasa and meditate there regularly.

How to adopt a floating thought?

Many people correspond with you. Tell those few persons who write lengthy mails to write shorter mails and to talk less. They must practice silence for a day in a week. And for all the other people, tell them this- Wherever there is light, there is Truth. When they write to you they should wait for sometime for your reply. Before that, they should find out if they receive their replies in themselves through space or akash. You are sending your thoughts through your mind even if you do not reply formally. Do they receive them? After a few days, ask them to write back to you with the insight and answer to cross check if that was what you were conveying mentally. In this way, they will be getting an idea and some practice to see how to receive the floating Sankalpa or thoughts arising within an enlightened being. Their own light will be kindled with this procedure.

And for you, I gave you a difficult assignment of writing 10 posts in 5 days and with my help you could achieve that. In December you are going to Pondicherry. Write 4 articles in 4 days continuously. Last year when you went there in December, Sri Aurobindo had told you in advance that you must write at least a sequence of articles in Dec 2014 because the ashram energy will give you the gust to spread those energies far and wide in the world. In this way, our work will be heightened.”

As the Sage was so reluctant to make a lengthy communication and expected us to understand more as we have our own Light to guide us, I have only to ponder about what a fortunate day I had when so many mysteries of metaphysical nature were revealed with the consent and grace of dear God.

Maharishi Kashyap-Truth in Light! From Dwarahat to Jyotirlinga Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar pilgrimage filled with Truth and Light-I

#220

Part A

Pilgrimage to Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar

After coming home from Dwarahat in September, within a gap of fourteen days, I set out to Ujjain in M.P. state to visit two places of light called Jyotirlinga. It was decided within minutes and in two days time we set off. They all are places of worship, atonement and seeking and have Shiva as the main deity in the form of Shivalinga, the symbol of primordial energy. There are 12 Jyotirlingas in India and I was fortunate to have gone to two such powerful places in two days and that too after coming back from Dwarahat which was so splendid. The other one, Omkareshwar is nearly 165 kilometers from Ujjain. We have to cross Indore first and then proceed in the interior, remote villages one after the other and reach a sleepy habitation near a serene river, Narmada. Omkareshwar is on a little height of a small mountain on the banks of Narmada and the now narrow river has to be crossed in a small boat at this point between two sets of mountains on either side. Though the quick trip got a little hectic for us but the gains and rewards are nothing in comparison to what we have received in lieu of that.

Both the places were very dynamic except that most people go to only Mahakaleshwar as it is easily reachable.

Maximum people go there to gain spiritual powers and power of various kinds including occult powers. For later, they are condemned by God and all the divine beings. People also go to ask for prosperity or relieving themselves of their mental or physical sufferings and so on.

I had no idea what was stored for me and I wished to just go and seek blessings so that I could garner more energies to do my seva, service which comes unexpectedly from any quarter when God ordains. No one is capable of serving humanity unless we receive very specific energies from those specific zones which store and bestow us with divine powers. The blog has received very high grade spiritual energies since its inception and it continues to do so regularly. At this juncture, a new thrust of energies have been activated and induced into the current new posts at regular period. As we gear up for the next ascension, some more energies of higher to highest grade will be infused consistently at the behest of God.

About Mahakaleshwar

It is a very old temple and it has a mention in the Puranas, the old holy Hindu scriptures. Earlier it was a very humble small Shivalinga on the bank of river Kshipra in a dense forest. In medieval times, to please their public the kings added some extensions by making it a large structure. Today, the main Shivlinga is to be reached by taking a few steps down in water in the basement which is made of concrete on the bank of the river. This was such a unique experience. The cool water in feet was a pleasant surprise so refreshing to the body and mind.

People are mostly coming for fulfillment of desires and for using negative energies as I discovered in silent moments. Apart from that, I was pleased to know in my meditation in the hall just opposite the main Shivalinga that Lord Buddha came here along with so many holy men including Swami Vivekananda in modern times. After knowing this, I shut my eyes and mind as nothing mattered because I had come to such a blessed place.  I wished to only take my Prasad , blessing and leave with nice memories.

Part B

In spite of hectic touring, I receive grace and encounter exclusive, immortal Astral Being

After I came back from Dwarahat, I had only taken a short lay off of two weeks in Mumbai and I had soon set out again to go to Ujjain for my next whirlwind  journey.

For quite a few days, I was in a state of unbroken peace and bliss after I came home from Dwarahat meditation. It took a few days time to reorient and recondition myself in the chaotic city. On so many occasions, I had a great urge to go back to that cave and experience the divinity once more.

There was a fixed plan of writing five posts on the blog without a break after these trips.  Yesterday night, after publishing seven posts which included two on Fb, I was running short of ideas and energy. I was in vain. I received no inspiration even after meditating and concentrating the whole day. Around 9.45 p.m. desperately I prayed to God to ensure time should not run out. Soon after I had finished expressing my plea, in my meditation, I envisioned something wonderful.

Meeting of Divine beings undertaken in higher regions 

I saw that there was a meeting going on between a cluster of godly heads when I traveled to higher sky. They all were in a serious meeting.

In a frantic hurry, Swami Nityananda and Shaligram Swami of Ganeshpuri were going  somewhere in ether and walking upwards hurriedly. I was hushed and asked to remain absolutely quiet and still and not to disturb the meditating Sage which we all saw in the far off zone. I was asked to wait till they reverted to me. I watched all this quietly and waited in curiosity as well anticipation to know what was about to unfold before me. In a few moments, Swami Shaligram reverted and said- “I and they all have been very busy and are deciding between ourselves and finalizing what should be written in next immediate post. We had lots to do you see.  The Maharishi is still meditating. He is Nitya Jyot. Let us not disturb him at any cost. We will work tomorrow now.”  I understood the gravity of the situation and held back myself and withheld my anxiety.

I  know that we are cursed by God if we disturb somebody who is in meditation and is busy handling mammoth missions of God. I anyway asked for forgiveness from God instantly just in case by mistake or innocence, if I had entered and trespassed someone’s personal space in which he was meditating silently and was blissful in a transcendental state. I  pleaded and apologized sincerely in case I  had offended him.

When the precarious few minutes were over,  I saw Swami again walking downwards and I could not hold myself. I took the liberty and raised a question. I was anxious I would not be able to ever reach with my mind that far off exclusive zone again and find out myself about Nitya Jyot. I instantly allowed my anxiety to diffuse.

Nitya Jyot

“What is Nitya Jyot, I have not heard this before?” I asked slightly after seeing the meditating Sage in a golden halo.

“They are highly illuminated divine beings who work ceaselessly for God as well as people and live very, very far from the terrestrial zone. They have very long lives given by God. They are constantly living in God’s Light and hence given the title Nitya Jyot-Always in light. They live in Satya Lok, the land of Truth,” replied Swami.

I was very relieved to know that all was well.

I was quite drowsy, I closed my eyes. Promptly, my eyelids were filled with soft, mellow, pale yellow coloured light. I felt so warm and good and forgot the state of the physical body. Before long, I heard the auspicious sound of Om arriving immediately and I heard somebody say, “Your body has less oxygen and less space or akash and therefore you must not tire yourself more than this. You are already on the edge of crashing out and now we shall not allow this. Earlier we ignored it. The nerves if broken will take six months to repair. So rest now and I shall tell you what is to be done tomorrow.”

In a little while, I saw a very tall, thick beam of flowing, brilliant  golden light falling over the Earth from very far off. Some answers to personal lingering questions also came along with this Light with exact date and time for futuristic references. I prostrated at him and went to sleep. I thought I must follow their instruction obediently and should sleep as sleep is of utmost importance in order to get started in the morning without delay.

At the daybreak, I woke up very fresh and went to the park at 6.30 am. After a short walk,  I sat on a bench under a tree and open sky and closed my eyes gently. The weather was perfect and I sat relaxed. I began to do long inhalation and exhalation to inhale abundant amount of oxygen inside and immediately felt good in a few minutes. My mind was totally calm and attentive and once more I connected with the same beam of Light that I saw the previous night. I felt balminess in my body. I was side by side also getting a sense of reassurance after the appearing of Light of God filtering in that my work will not be stalled and I will continue  to write uninterruptedly.

After slipping into a deep state of peace, I was able to touch a new height. In my continued long meditation there, I came to know the following new wonderful revelations-

More revelations

After the Earth there are layers of sky like atmosphere, stratosphere etc. Beyond the sky there is empty Space, ether Akash. Some highly enlightened Divine Beings are located in that Space beyond the sky much, much away from the Earth. Those Divine Beings are sages who are meditating there and wish to be excluded from the humdrum of Earthly life. They exclude themselves because they wish to meditate without any hindrance and noise coming from teeming people walking on the Earth. They meditate for years and centuries and are contributing towards man’s final emancipation.

“I am Kashyap Rishi, one of the seven rishis. I am living very far off from the Earth because my desire of Earthly things has banished epochs earlier. I wish to stay away from it because all the people are so attached to Earthly objects. Come, I will show you my vision from the centre of my existence. The Earth looks so small like a small piece of stone, it is that for me.

Tell people that they are wasting their time in just being born and then dying. People only take birth and die, they are born and die, they are born again and again and so many times again. They suffer so much in their reoccurring process of birth and death.

I send out rays of my mental energies as Light on Earth to people who are striving to establish the Truth. You have experienced so much Light in the cave at Dwarahat. Earlier you could see little light and before that rays of light, sometimes even single rays. But you did not know that rays of God’s light have Truth embedded in them.

Whenever you experience Light, you must wait and watch to see what message it contains for you. It does not come without a specific reason.”

Maharishi spoke in chaste Hindi, “Satya kya hai? Satya ka tatva kya hai?”

Satya hai ki ishwar hai, wo avinashi hai, wo prakash hai, wo nirakar hai, wo amar hai aur wo sada bana rahega. Us satya ko jano. Aur us Prakash mei Satya hai. Dwarahat mei jo tumne Prakash dekha usme Satya hai, jab bhi  tum Prakash dekhoge usmei Satya bhi milega.”

Translation- What is Truth? What is the substance of Truth?

Truth is that God is, it is immortal, it is light, it is formless it is immortal and will never be destroyed. Know that Truth. And in that light is Truth. The Light that you saw in Dwarahat has Truth in it. Whenever you see Light, in that you shall also find Truth……”

Well, I accepted that I was still very naive as far as the science of enlightenment is concerned. I told him that I consider myself a small baby as far as they all are concerned. They all are my spiritual, sacred fathers. And I am very keen to know a lot from them as I am a new child in their cluster of very enlightened beings and wish to do more sadhana under their guidance.

Man must not revolt in times of crisis; he must turn his mind inside and meditate (P-5)

Why is it necessary to live our life by God’s will?-III

#219

On 20th September of 2014 on a beautiful, sunny day in Dwarahat, while I sat meditating peacefully in the holy cave where Shri Mahavatar Babaji spent ample time with his disciple, revered Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji in 1861 extolling their past lives when the latter as Gangadhar had intermittently sank in divine bliss and ecstasy with his celestial Guru Maharaj Babaji, I could have asked for nothing more. That was a landmark page in human history and time because a huge step was being undertaken for the upliftment of humanity for future times. Two giants of spiritual stature were together for a great cause on an auspicious day. Both met with the will of God and wished to pursue the mission undertaken with equal agreement.

By recalling each leaf from their past of this momentous event in my mind sitting alone in the cave, I was totally divinized. Reeling under the impact of the winding back of this incident, I was in no time fallen in the deepest profundity and the physical body became placid. My mind silenced downright and my breath ceased; I was not in a hurry to revive myself because I knew there was somebody else in charge of my whole being at this precarious condition. I was locked in a grip and control of somebody who had already caught hold of my entire being. Never can I recall a situation where the body was put aside so effortlessly and in doing so breaking its bearing over me so easily. I was in my most comfortable composure and compose of mind that day. A tunnel was created between my crown and the thick shaft of Light that was approaching from the top of the sky and filtering through the mountain and the interior of the cave and then entering inside it. The shaft of benevolent Light came straight on my crown gently and all over me and I also perceived it scattering everywhere in my circumference. It soon filled most of the calm cave. It was happening most of the time till I meditated for more than an hour or so.

From behind the curtains of Light came so many blessings and words of mercy that disclosing them to you becomes a difficult act as words and feelings are trifling endeavours. Who can retell and document after immersing in thick, effulgent light rays when mind dissolved and body forgotten?

An attempt to redo that act will not be possible yet with the help of the Grace, authenticity will be maintained and each word delivered without missing any meaning, exaggeration or making an error. The directly arriving exalted words straight from the dense shafts of Light were saying-

“As a child, you were born with an irresistible will power, a domineering will. Deeply seated was a silent, seething desire to perform some unique deeds which were never done before by anyone. From the start, unreasonable opposition throughout life was never daunting or stopping you. All reverses were so wonderfully utilized smilingly to enhance your Soul. Your inexhaustible mental powers, your vision so farsighted and never tiring working hands have brought you so far to me in this precious cave to tell you what nobody knows.

Before you took birth this time, you were unrelenting and wished in one life to finish the debts of lives impending four. Your wish was granted with so much remorse as I knew there would be a mountain of difficulties and you will not be able to soar.

Sadly, but for the first time I have been proved wrong and that too by a dainty lady like you. When the time came you rose. You walked up the mountain alone and stood there at the top proclaiming that oh! I want to walk some more. I looked at you and asked, “Are you sure?” You reverted, “If I can walk up till here with your influence, love, guidance and care, then who cares? It does not matter where I stand today. Time is on my side and I wish to still go ahead.” You said this with a humble tone and wholesome certitude and gratitude.

In six years, you did stiff penance of lives twelve which were awaiting and you were to be born in far epochs unknown. From the top of the mountain, you soared higher and higher like the unflinching eagle and with tough hands touched my high Sky.

Who can do this as humans, defying all my laws which are stringent and tying and cannot be pierced by anyone? Your unprecedented will power and actions incessant have brought you to a state of uniqueness and you have great things in store. I will tell the world that I gave her the worst tests, worst miseries, worst enemies and unfathomable tasks but not for a moment she ever gave up on Me or her lovable Master immortal of white snowy mountains, the one who has never aged and has glistening, long hair of copper and shining gold. For six and more years, in three states of being awake, dream or sleep, not a single breath was coming out or going in which did not have an image, remembrance or imagination of one or us both. When a lovable being like you breaks her body and has injuries and everyday heartburn but does not complain and drinks wrong potion of medicine because I wish to test you many times over to check if my will has become yours or not so? What more can I test or question your devotion for me, undying faith and trust in me and what else is there to check whether you will live and die for me alone?

I will give you so many blessings that you will not be able to hold or store. I will reward you with such wonderful insights and knowledge greatest because your thirst for my home and my creation is undying and unquestionable. I will gift you with unfathomable skills, proficiency and dexterity that the world will stare but not dare to buckle you down. There will come a time in history when man will say that nobody has lived so well a short life made so precious and regal with faintest resources and meanest behaviour from closest quarters and so much more. A bright lamp was lit in the darkest place and all resources came from her within! Who can deny you, who can buy you?

Ample times in distant past you were born in homes of illustrious sages and wise men. Knowledge, austerity, detachment, service, compassion and high morality were earned with them. Those good deeds gave you birth in palaces next and high status and you were generous, compassionate, sharing and so full of empathy and truthfulness. You never bartered any virtues for lesser morality. When all these lives are put together and the essence of all deeds is mixed with today’s hard work, patience, persistence, sincerity and faithfulness, nobody can take away your much deserved seat from my heart and divine throne. When did you complain or cry or became grumpy? You knew and had decided that it is you who will always change and not the other person in front of you whatever the situation should be.

When you find no fault in me or my creation, I will quickly make you shine and rise in my beauty, grace, holiness and creativity. Tell the world that I have made this world a ground to check if you have tears in your eyes for the suffering men or do you kill or trample them? Did you love all or you filled your boxes with things which were not yours? I will remind you, I will warn you but you must listen to me and my advice for I do not repeat my words more than twice or in a few cases maximum thrice.

If you ascend, if you rise, if you master the laws which are mine and if you always beautify my world with your good doings then I shall be forever yours and you mine!

Come to me, I will tell you how well to live your life, how you should behave in my paradise and what you should do to please me and win my heart always. If you listen to me and abide by my wish and desire, I will make you my own child of holy land. I will tell you how I have made my beautiful creation with creatures big and small. What will happen if you abide by my tenets or not? I love those children who are not going adrift and I praise those who are forever looking upon me and my constant approvals or wills. Bring your heart to me, bring your breath to me and bring all your sentiments to me. I will colour all of them white. I will clean you; I will cleanse you with my bright Light and lustre so brilliant that you cannot whine, chide or ever die. I love all those men who are always waiting in a queue to win my heart and win me over by all the examinations that I set as benchmarks of excellence, sheen and virtues and all of them so fine and bright. Never fall again in dirty waters which stench or pools of mud in which you are forever stuck. Wake up today for it is never ever so late if you have the will to rise and shine, you shall so much gain.

I have come to you silently hidden in these words and alphabet, trust her fully and find me if you can. I will come to you again and once again if you are willing to die for me. If you are willing to give your whole self to me, I shall lay my whole self at you for we are always together and never apart!”…..

Dear everybody, this was the concluding post on why we must follow God’s will in our lives. Refinement and subtlety are the jewels which describe a theme like this. I leave you respectfully at this stage where you are left alone to absorb little by little all the finery, beauty and majesty of the one and only- The Divine…..

Why is it necessary to live our life by God’s will?-II

#218

Part A

Preface

My dear readers, this post is subtle. It is mainly for the evolving seekers and maybe some help would be required to resolve some content for which you are always welcome. We will also have to go in depth on the subject involved.

The blog post is divided into two parts. The first one is to explain this portion of last post-

http://spiritinlife.blog/2014/10/19/why-is-it-necessary-to-live-our-life-by-gods-will-i/

“You have been discharged the duty of awakening people far and wide in all parts of the world through your very original and creative writing. It has energy, solutions and a road map to guide all wanderers and to anchor them to this blog. In future, you shall write articles that shall reveal hidden knowledge and concealed information that God has been keeping to itself from time immemorial. It is my will that that sacred, secreted knowledge should be opened up now and given to mankind because in today’s world, all the givers of spiritual knowledge are either running after their own prestige or money or vying with each other in bad competition. They have not surrendered their ego (ahankar) and are still in darkness (Maya). Merely giving good discourses is not enough and useful. Unless true and right knowledge (gyan) dawns on humans, they cannot relieve themselves of the bad karmas and lack of spiritual wisdom (bodh). Pure knowledge (Atma Gyan) should be dispensed through an authentic source so that adulteration and putrefaction is avoided. Nobody can swim across the ocean of delusion (bhram) unless their guide knows to swim very well. Verbal help is of no use, it will not save the drowning victim.”

In the last post, there were some terms which were nuanced and elusive and have been picked up again to explain terms like ahankar, Atma gyan, bhram etc. I have selected some part from one old post- The state of super consciousness-III for  the convenience of the old as well new readers, it is essential at this stage. Please read it well  to get a grip of what will be concluded in the end after reading the referred paragraphs from older posts.

Atman –There is a Universal, all pervading, infinite, immortal Power or Force which is all comprehensive. It is called Atman, Brahma or Ishawara. It is present in the form of light and wisdom in all beings. It has no definite beginning or end hence is immortal. Atman can only be felt or experienced but cannot be described. Only a sacred soul can realize and know it. Those who do impure and profane acts can never know Atman, cannot even have belief and conviction of its existence. The glory, beauty and praise of Atman should not be sung before the defiled and desecrated spirits.

Jeeva – A fraction of the Universal Force is present in us and it is called jeeva or individual self or human self. The human has mainly two impurities or vikaar and they are desire and ego because of which he gets deluded and forgets and fails to remember God and consequently suffers from troubles, problems, unrest and unhappiness.

Manas or mind –  In every individual jeeva there is present  manas or loosely called mind. A fragment of the Universal light is present in the individual. Out of this fraction, a little portion of the Universal Force and Light is present in the manas or mind. The mind is shaped in accordance to type of actions performed by the individual. It is the manas that feels and perceives and it has its own light, dim or bright depending on the person. The manas also has its own power depending on how well we behave, think and act. The type of actions performed by us is responsible for the type of force that enters our mind. It entirely depends on the quality and type of actions performed by the individual thus attracting either negative or positive forces.

The power in the mind predetermines a set direction and path and shapes the lives to come. Manas compels us to act in the first place and it is the mind that suffers. After death, the body disintegrates, not the manas. The mind leaves one body and sets on its path and travels according to the karmas performed. According to its desires and performed actions, the mind creates a new body and moves on from the point it has already covered.

The mind is so powerful that it is everything. It possesses the power of sankalpa, ichcha shakti – will power and the power to initiate an action. It is only when we have a will that we do something, we change ourselves, we give a definite course of line and direction to our thoughts and life as a whole. It is because of our desire that we are born and we die only when we have a desire to die.

The mind has immense powers. It can travel anywhere (telepathy), it can hear far off sounds (clairvoyance) and if the mind determines and decides to do something, it begins to connect and tap the Universal Energy which is positive and accomplishes impossible feats.

Tendencies of self-doubt, skepticism, lack of faith in God are innate in the mind. It is self-doubt that separates us from our Atman. They should be discarded.

In Yoga, the first step is to control the mind’s flow and curb it with discipline, self-control and obedience. Once the mind is restrained, its restlessness is contained. When we do bhakti or have devotion, the ego begins to fade away slowly and one loses the passion, attachment and longing for worldly desires and ultimately the human discards the ego entirely for the sake of bathing in God’s bliss. His identity mingles with the all-pervading power like the iron which when melted in very hot fire, melts wholly after becoming red hot and is moulded in the shape which is desired.

The process of complete transformation is done and executed with the kripa of a guru. We must have full faith in ourselves and the Guru who completes the process of divinization for our good. The prana or vital life force is entwined intricately in the mind in a very subtle form and gives force and a concrete push to the mind. Desires give a shape to the mind and the prana give a direction. In the humans, this concept can be explained very well with this comparison and example as explained in the holy scriptures-  A blind man is unable to go forward as he cannot see and so is a lame man. The manas is the lame man and prana is the blind man. The mind is lame if there is no force of prana while the prana have movement, they have no direction. They can however, walk together by helping each other. The mind acts as eyes and the prana as crutches when the duo walk together. Desires are the catalysts.

Meditation makes the force of the prana feeble in its seamless and unrestricted movements. It quietens its senseless roar and curbs its dangerous speed. If one meditates for a very long time, the death of the subtle, hidden desires on its own is absolutely certain. And the countless desires which are unborn yet; however very, very faint they may be; are destroyed by the guru as dreams during the time we sleep by his thought power or sankalp in the last phase.

When all the desires are completely dissolved and finished, Self-Realization or Atma sakshatkar takes place naturally just like the day breaks and simultaneously night recedes. This journey is also of the ascension of the energy chakras beginning from throat chakra to third eye and eventually to crown chakra. In other words we begin from vishuddha chakra to agya and finally to brahmarandra. Vishuddha chakra is the center of mind or manas and is the first phase.  Agya Chakra is the center of breath or prana, the second phase  and finally the Brahmarandra – the center of Atma, our final desired destination.

A human being has three levels or degrees of ego or ahankar– gross, subtle and very subtle. If we translate it in Hindi it is sthool, sukshma and kaaran respectively.  The individual must get rid of the ego completely till its last shred to free itself of maya or prakriti.

Sthool, Gross ego-This is my house, my building, my son….

Sukshma, Subtle ego -I am a gyani, knowledgable, I am sensible, intelligent, I know, I have understood everything. For such people further learning is impossible. People in this category love to hear their praise and find it difficult to handle criticism.

Kaaran- Ati sukshma ahankar, Extremely subtle ego -is entrenched in our breath. It is due to very subtle ego that one believes that he is the doer and  experiencer or karta and bhokta. The prana or breath have to be purified of this impurity. Doing kriya or attending spiritual discourses only accelerates the purification of the prana  but cannot destroy the very subtle ego completely. Prana can only be totally purified with the blessing of a saintly guru, Atmagyani guru on conditions of our surrendering completely and secondly if we have an intense desire to free ourselves from the suffering of recurring births and deaths. These are two important preconditions if we wish to realize Atma. Please refer Why is Atman difficult to know ? once again to get a good understanding of this thought. By surrendering to the Guru, we cross vishuddha chakra, the throat chakra, the seat of manas or mind. It is the mind which stops one from submitting. When the pranas are completely purified, we cross the third eye centre or Agya Chakra about which explanation is given a little later.

When the Agya Chakra cleans completely, then the crown chakra begins to open gradually and the disciple begins to sense and experience Atman. There is a chief difference between understanding Atma intellectually and perceiving it. Atma cannot be ‘known’ but can be perceived within oneself. It is just a very subtle perception, a sensation of its presence inside, a conviction of its presence and a feeling of its existence beyond the senses and mental bodies. It is to be just felt. Atma can neither be explained to others nor can it be given in alms. It can be attained with the mercy of God; it can be conveyed and transferred from a Atmagyani guru to his disciple out of love. It is the selfless love of the guru which spontaneously flows to the disciple and flows as grace and benevolence. The Guru and the disciple both should be pure and selfless for this exchange.

As the prana become purified, our thoughts become pure and refined. Once the thoughts are purified, our actions become untainted, we become humble. Humility is achieved when the disciple crosses the last step of manas or mind. The pranas can be purified by worshipping the Atma gyani guru and not by maintaining silence or maun. If the disciple contemplates and thinks deeply on the guru for a long duration, his prana is purified completely whereas with pranayam the pranas are purified to a good extent. By purification is meant the eradication of the subtlest ego, the thought of doership and the existence of individual self-‘I”.

There are very subtle desires or vasanas clinging to the prana flowing inside us and those desires cannot be destroyed by one’s own efforts as they cannot be detected. If the disciple has immense admiration and adoration for his guru, if he worships him with his mind, body and soul, if the disciple immerses himself in the divine words of the guru, the seeds of the vasanas and unborn desires are destroyed. The brightness and light of divinity in the guru burns the vasanas of the sansara. The delusion of the jeeva that he is the doer and experiencer of the actions performed, vanishes in the knowledge of Atma given by the paramgyani guru. He offers the results and fruits of all his actions to the guru, in return he gets peace and spiritual joy.

The disciple acquires true humility after this stage of development as he has no unpleasant feelings for anybody and is unbiased and selfless. Once awakened, initially he sees everyone as ignorant and uninformed but at a little later stage, the yogi has compassion and mercy for the people who are in sleep state as he sympathizes with their suffering and wishes to improve their deplorable condition. At this stage maun or silence is actual and proper otherwise in silence is hidden subtle ego which can erupt as a volcano in some circumstances.

Repeat the holy sound of Om, meditate on Om. Om is whole and complete in itself and shall give you wholeness. Om is Light itself.

Shwas+vasana=new birth, Or

Breath+ desires= new birth.

When manas or mind enters a new body as new birth, it carries with itself past vasanas or desires, fruits of all past karmas, sanskaras or tendencies of past karmas etc. This is known as pranadosha or corruption of pranas and because of this the prana of the disciple have to be purified to destroy all the past desires of the physical world experiences of all past lives. The desire to enjoy the physical world, the enjoyment of the pleasures derived out of the senses of material, the desire to relish the effects of the karmas done in the past by the jeeva is strongly embedded and hence the master cauterizes all the seed of the embedded desires to liberate him of unwanted and undesirable future consequences.

After the pranas are purified, they flow at a medium pace and the rhythm is tranquil. During meditation they slow down further and in sleep they are as good as negligent. In the absence of desires, in the absence of excitement created by desires, in the absence of mere thought of desires, the mind automatically flows in a calm rhythm and beat. When the mind and body become so calm, we are able to contemplate on Atma. Meditation on Atma, contemplation on Atma releases us from the clutches of repeated births and deaths and gives us mukti  or salvation. Therefore, the disciple must clear all debts and self- created desires.  To achieve the state of Atma or Super Consciousness, there are a few debts that one has to clear……..

Part B

Dear readers, by now you must have got an idea that reaching the kingdom or state of God is a very prolonged procedure and it takes many lives’ efforts and will power. To erase all the subtlest desires locked in the life force till the last shred of a human, takes phenomenal working out and classic planning by the Divine Masters in collusion with the Omnipresent God.

To do this act, we begin with the Guru’s physical form and assume that his physical form is always with us watching over us with a keen eye and compassionate nurturing. This is on the level of removing the gross impurities of ego and desires.

On the next level, we are again advised to take each day and each action by contemplating on the will of God in subtler sense and in small decisions included too. Impurities gradually dwindle and wipe out by this method of cleansing.

Lastly, the remotest scrapes of jeevatma in any human being are abolished by the Omnipresent God with or without the physical Guru. The Gurus’ sankalpas or intentions irrespective of whether he possesses a physical body or not, reaches the disciple wherever he or she may be. The Divine Masters always work on the commands of God, who after testing the eligible seeker by tightest and toughest tests remove and release the remaining doership, all desires and sense of self of that seeker by asking him or her to always obey and listen to however the bizarre and inexplicable summons may be. Those wise men that follow all the directives of the Almighty arriving at their doorstep as life circumstances, intuitions, visions or mere feelings and perceptions in the end as the will of God are richly rewarded. Absolutely the impurities are evaporated, the inner core shines and on that reflects pure, brilliant rays, streams and huge halos of God’s presence as Light and much more awakening. God also arrives and reveals to us more cognizance, phenomenal revelations and unprecedented exposures of hidden secrets of its presence and powers as well as magnificence apart from bestowing continued calmness of mind, good health and well-being and prosperity in every sense.

To elaborate and carry on with the remaining conversation between me and God in the cave at Dwarahat, I will first quote something as was narrated in former post to stay connected with the main idea with the just arrived readers.

“You have come here to me with no selfish motive but out of love for Babaji. Hence he has made you the guiding light for this world on his behalf and for the disciples of many other saints whose children are yet to finish their spiritual journey in this life. Your guiding force will tell them what is Truth and falsehood? What is Guru Bhakti? What is Apara Bhakti(Transcendental devotion)? What is the rin (debt) of shishya towards their Guru? What will happen if you surrender completely and live each day and moment with the wish of God?

There comes a stage in  a sadhak’s (seeker’s) life when the small self or ‘I and I am’ evaporates completely and all the vibrations of the divine world appear without obstruction as there is no corruption in the antahkaran (inner being). When such a divine soul works ceaselessly for the world, God rewards him with unknown, unheard gifts which were secretly hiding in the pouch of God’s womb. Any undertaking or work pursued by such men of God produces extra ordinary results and mankind benefits profusely. Such work is for posterity and should be revered and handled with pure devotion by all. God has plans for humanity for many millenniums into the future. The human mind is too small and constricted to fathom or conceive the gravity of such endeavours and hence makes small or grave mistakes in grasping the fundamental importance of such massive undertakings in which savvy and piercing perceptions of mahayogis (great yogis) act as catalyst in shaping the world that is yet to be designed and carved out of existing present world!”………

(Remaining lines are as follows-)

Now from those shimmery rays of Light, a little after all this poured these following lines towards me which made me reel under much, much amazement and I dazzled in every sense! They were-

“I directed Shri Mahavatar Babaji to start the new wave of Kriya Yoga in the modern world with the help of his previous disciple Shri Lahiri Mahasaya. It was here in 1861, that a seed was sown for that great purpose for world revival. Since the past more than five decades, the world and the Earth have seen rapid decadence, regression and too much immorality. I have called you here in the same cave to restart a new movement by which ancient knowledge can be provided in their homes to all pursuing souls directly without any adulteration, ulterior motive or mixing of obsolete ideas. It will have far-fetched results in time to come. This old cave disperses vibrant spiritual energies till this day. It has been in use since more than nine thousand years by wandering yogis, ascetics and spiritual practitioners. Whichever person meditates at home or anywhere by genuinely visualizing meditating here in this charged cave will be blessed and will receive benediction, grace and mercy. The aim should be for spiritual progress and salvation and not benefits of material advantages. Now go and compose many articles which will have your life turning incidents as episodes in your blog by which not hundreds but millions will be rewarded and enriched in their enduring spiritual pursuits.

God’s work is silent, God’s presence is silent and God is silence. Bathe yourself in the purity of that silence which is within you, you shall be worshiped.

This work is not for today but for centuries to come where mankind can help itself in seeking their lost glory and divinity by diving in the pool of spiritual nectar and releasing itself from its own created miseries, gloom and darkness. Those people are blessed who live each day by believing in the presence of God within and listening to the will of God to enhance their divinity and sovereignty”….

Why is it necessary to live our life by God’s will?-I

#217

Why I am making so many tours and pilgrimages far and wide in India in succession incessantly?

I have mentioned in my last post that my journey to Dwarahat in the month of September has been very exclusive and special. It was very much awaited and anticipated and it took me twelve years of patient wait for God’s will to dispense and unfold. There was a propelling force pushing me towards this very significant place and the journey certainly had to be undertaken no matter what. I had to go there somehow I told myself.

Was it because it was associated with Shri Mahavatar Babaji and his foremost disciple Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji or was it to go to the same place and relive Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji’s experience as though I am able to meet Babaji in person and feel gratified in the process? Or was it something more than this, I was not sure. I had already left everything to God because there was a death of a close relative in the second week of September and the idea of travelling did not look feasible at all. Both the events were too close, rather back to back. But then again God has always been more willful and assertive in my life than me deciding in my personal matters. I was more than happy and reassured that God had asserted Himself since our vision is too narrow and limited and it cannot pierce in time and space that has yet to unfold itself with each moment ticking slowly.

The mysterious, unknown events that are yet to unfold in future and are safely kept hiding in the centre of God’s mind is not accessible by any of us. It is always better to allow events to roll out smoothly and we must become mere observers in a very calm state of mind is my mantra. This was a very typical case of God deciding much, much erstwhile in time but revealing its purposes and objectives at the nick of time to me as though watching all the time mutely if my small self and mind gets disarranged and tousled or not?

However, not for a single moment anxiety crept in or my mind was disturbed. It was for the reason that after making umpteen pilgrimages and journeys far and wide in India, I have with conviction witnessed the force of God working on me. At every moment and at every crucial instants because the journeys were devised and arranged in the heart and space of God’s mind in the first place in advance. The organizer and planner lay somewhere else, I was only listening to its silent guidelines and executing it with love and devotion.

Dwarahat will always be remembered because of this conviction. I had left it to God to tell me finally why I was to make this journey in spite of so much conflicting force standing in my way stubbornly and why was it so essential to make this happen in spite of looming blockades and physical exertion? Maintaining everlasting patience always pays off and should be constantly held on to with a firm grip, it is the biggest virtue given to man in dealing with all types of emergencies, destinies or difficulties. I follow the same mandate; life becomes so much easier and happier. All right things happen at the right time and joy bursts from all corners and niches. The narration becomes indescribable.

The experience I got in the cave of Babaji left me spellbound and completely mesmerized; I felt silent for quite a few days that followed.

“Sarika why are you here? Came the voice from the rays of Light in the cave.

http://spiritinlife.blog/2014/10/08/my-pilgrimage-to-shri-mahavatar-babajis-cave-in-dwarahat/

“This cave is very old and you have been called here after many years after complete preparation of your mind and body. Your body will not decay for it will work for the Divine always. There is no test left to get approvals from me now as you have mastered the art of living all your moments with the will of God. Babaji called Lahiri Mahasaya here to initiate him into a new wave of Kriya shiksha (education). With the Satyug turning towards more positive direction, new energies have to be unleashed through many centres in India and abroad from which more people turn spiritual. As more people turn spiritual, the age of Truth or Satyug will appear quicker in time.

You have started a quiet movement in all parts of the globe of unleashing new energies which are benign and spiritual. This is Babajis’s big project where Sanatan Dharma or Eternal laws of righteousness is being evoked after its lapse in the past many decades all over the world.

Simplicity, truthfulness and purity are the words and tenets that each man should follow now to speed up the process of bringing virtues, honesty and piousness back in society and mankind.

You have been discharged the duty of awakening people far and wide in all parts of the world through your very original and creative writing. It has energy, solutions and a road map to guide all wanderers and anchor them to this blog. In future, you shall write articles that shall reveal hidden knowledge and concealed information that God has been keeping to itself from time immemorial. It is my will that that sacred, secreted knowledge should be opened up now and given to mankind because in today’s world all the givers of spiritual knowledge are either running after their own prestige or money or vying with each other in bad competition. They have not surrendered their ego (ahankar) and are still in darkness (Maya). Merely giving good discourses is not enough and useful. Unless true and right knowledge (gyan) dawns on humans, they cannot relieve themselves of the bad karmas and lack of spiritual wisdom (bodh). Pure knowledge (Atma Gyan) should be dispensed through an authentic source so that adulteration and putrefaction is avoided. Nobody can swim across the ocean of delusion (bhram) unless their Guide knows to swim very well. Verbal help is of no use, it will not save the drowning victim.

Regular periods of purification, prolonged periods of meditation and continuous efforts of cleansing are required of all humans to salvage their souls of their incessant darkness and lack of wisdom and truth.

If you practice each day even with a little effort, your soul can redeem itself so that it can shine with brightness of Satya, Dharma and Shudh Karma- Truth, righteousness and pure actions.

You have come here to me with no selfish motive but out of love for Babaji. Hence, he has made you the guiding Light for this world on his behalf and for the disciples of many other saints whose children are yet to finish their spiritual journey in this life. Your guiding force will tell them what is Truth and falsehood. What is Guru Bhakti? What is Apara Bhakti (Transcendental devotion)? What is the rin (debt) of shishya towards their Guru? What will happen if you surrender completely and live each day and moment with the wish of God?

There comes a stage in  a sadhak’s (seeker’s) life when the small self or ‘I and I am’ evaporates completely and all the vibrations of the Divine world appear without obstruction as there is no corruption in the antahkaran (inner being). When such a divine soul works ceaselessly for the world, God rewards him with unknown, unheard gifts which were secretly hiding in the pouch of God’s womb termed ‘Hiranyagarbh’. Any undertaking or work pursued by such men of God produces extra ordinary results and mankind benefits profusely. Such work is for posterity and should be revered and handled with pure devotion by all. God has plans for humanity for many millenniums into the future. The human mind is too small and constricted to fathom or conceive the gravity of such endeavours. Thus, he makes small or grave mistakes in grasping the fundamental importance of such massive undertakings in which savvy and piercing perceptions of mahayogis (great yogis) act as catalyst in shaping the world that is yet to be designed and carved out of existing present world!

If you are keen to mould your present destiny, then change your present by changing your narrow consciousness to somewhat wider and bigger state of being and consciousness. Someday you too shall understand why it is necessary to live our life by God’s will……(to be continued tomorrow)

 

A Note- There was one more yatra which was added on the spot with two days’ time in this year’s list. I made a hurried trip to two Jyotirlingas- Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar in M.P. state between 15th -17th October 2014. There will be five posts continuously every day starting with this one and a link will be made by combining all in its inherent essence.

Thank you.

My pilgrimage to Shri Mahavatar Babaji’s cave in Dwarahat.

#216

The much, much awaited moment of approaching the holy mountain arrived for us on the auspicious day of 20th Sept 2014. We left the YSS ashram at Dwarahat at sharp 9 am for Dunagiri Mountain with our packed lunch after having a good breakfast. We hired a guide who was attached with the Ashram and also took a jeep on hire so that our journey would be trouble free. It is advised that we should not take our car there because nobody can drive the very narrow, unmetalled roads beyond a point, a place called Kukuchina in a car. Jeeps are suited for this purpose.

Our guide and driver were both very good and as we had arranged them through the Swamiji of YSS ashram, we got some information about the place and stories about Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji, Shri Mahavatar Babaji and their cave and also about a few sadhus and yogis living there presently. We learnt that they are also being helped to grow in their individual path by receiving messages astrally from time to time from Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji and Shri Mahavatar Babaji. I sensed that the work of God  is going on world wide all the time silently.

Let me now please describe a little about our walk upward towards the cave. Doing so will help many others who wish to sometime visit this powerful, peaceful and reclusive cave in times to come. Also these pictures are a testimony of how the yogis have enriched their spiritual lives by doing their individual efforts so passionately over centuries even before we woke up to them……

The place was very serene and quiet atmosphere greeted us. No devotees had arrived so far in the peaceful mountain. Except for the chirping and singing of the small birds, we heard no sounds in the small forest. It was extra ordinarily pious and tranquil as if a few yogis are still meditating in their subtle bodies there, and that the world is oblivion to them and they are disseminating very fine peaceful vibrations all around for our world….

Providentially, the surroundings became free of any untoward climate change except for appearance of some light, grey floating clouds. It was a sunny day after that. Little bit of drizzling had already taken place even before we came to the starting point and we started our trek with complete surrender and expectations none.

Our jeep took us so precariously on these very thin, narrow kuchcha roads barely 5 meters or maybe less than 15 ft I suppose. Only the locals could have driven in a track like that, on slim edges of mountains. For them it was a daily business and for us a sacred yatra.

IMG_0075

IMG_0069

Sticks are given by YSS and also shoes to those who came unprepared.This is the starting point from where we begin our climb up. We are at the foot of riven Gagash.

IMG_0081

I came to know from my guide that Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji followed this river, Gagash (Guruji has spelt it as  Gogash in Bengali pronunciation in AOY) while he was rambling in the mountains and accidentally reached the place where Babaji called out his name-Gangadhar as described by Guruji in AOY. We are standing where Gagash is flowing and took a picture as our token of gratitude and thanksgiving to Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji even before we ascended.

The trek began from this point.

Our guide asked him to pass him the key to open the door of the cave. We were the first visitors that day fortunately and wished to maintain silence throughout.

We took some short breaks to accommodate ourselves to the new altitude as we were going higher. When we stopped, I enjoyed seeing the new growth in September after the rains in all the trees. The new pines’ leaves were very light in weight and had a hue of beautiful light green. I enjoyed seeing so many trees and always with the same level of joy.This particular tree which my eyes saw, gave me a different perspective. It was so artistic. The curls in the stems of the pine tree resembled like locks and curls of a beautiful girl which were swaying on her young face and she was seeing this very pristine view of valleys and mountains from a height! I certainly felt at this moment that the beautiful views in front of my eyes must be a painter’s most sought views…….everything in nature so beautifully arranged, everything working quietly with so much precision, peacefulness and mutual co-operation and sustenance.

IMG_0128

After walking up for about 50 minutes we saw something-

A new structure, a meditation hall has been constructed just a little before the cave by YSS. It is on the same place where Babaji fulfilled Lahiri Mahasayaji’s wish of a golden palace.(Ch 34 AOY- Materializing a Palace in the Himalayas)

We are close to Babaji’s cave.

We finally arrive at it to our greatest satisfaction. I stopped immediately and gazed and gazed at the cave  from outside without any stirring as if my deepest most desire has been fulfilled and I had arrived at last. After all I had waited for 12 years for this auspicious moment!

IMG_0195

After our most serene and enriching moments, we walked down completely soaked in fulfillment and satisfaction. We felt highly remunerated and rewarded, the reason being that the circumstances that we were in in the past many weeks, this pilgrimage was just not feasible, we were thinking of not going ahead. It required exceptional yielding and will to agree to God’s wish and fortunately we complied. All the way as we were inching upwards, we were so happy and relieved that we forego and overlooked so many things just to make this trip possible. I had planned to come here in 2002 but the most appropriate time was now I was certain after I undertook my yatra. To come to a place like this one, I had to be prepared very well and with a great purpose in my life ahead. After all it was here that the momentous action of initializing Kriya Yoga in modern times was spearheaded by none other than Shri Mahavatar Babaji………I was totally convinced of my belief that day!

This post is reverently dedicated in memory of His Holiness Shri Mahavatar Babaji and Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji   who in the modern times Kaliyug revived the ancient Kriya Yoga Science at this consecrated and sanctified cave on a holy mountain, Dunagiri and millions are benefiting from this spectacular event……

 

I have made a short video of this cave for the readers delight and contentment. There may be some who cannot ever go there because of some specific reasons; be it their age, distance or merely home bound duties. They will get a short glimpse of this sacrosanct place.

There have been a few posts on FB which were written from Dwarahat, Rishikesh and after I came home.  They are relevant for all of us. Kindly read those poems many times as they will inspire and motivate you on your spiritual journey ahead with a fresh new outlook.

Dear friends, there has been a new post after a long time. Some family issues and a lot of travelling on my part bit into my time considerably. Nonetheless, I have tried to issue a photo gallery as soon as I could have. I believe that this job was not easy to do. Selection of photos and putting them in an orderly manner was important and I spent some time in arranging my ideas. However, I shall revise it once more tomorrow if necessary.

The much awaited trip to Dwarahat eventually took place on 18th Sept 2014. I visited the holy cave of Shir Mahavatar Babaji on 20th Sept . This is part one of the whole trip. A separate section will be made to showcase the short trek to that cave shortly following this post…..

From Delhi to Ramnagar, Kashipur and cutting through Jim Corbett National Park.

After much chaos and traffic starting from Delhi, our car brought us to this lovely scenic place suddenly in the mid day/afternoon with a sudden change in the surroundings. We entered the famous Tiger Reserve, Jim Corbett Park in Ramnagar (U.P.) There were still many streams flowing although monsoon was over and the climate was dry. It was a huge respite and the visuals added so much respite and happiness.

We travelled upwards and downwards in the many mountains after this place and reached an altitude of about 3,500 to 4,000 ft above sea level and the topography changed again quite distinctly.

We left for Dwarahat after breakfast. The air got purer and cooler and number of people also lesser. There was no sign of any fatigue and on the contrary, we were refreshed by God’s wonderful nature and beautiful scenes everywhere.

This place was a few kilometers before we approached Dwarahat. We stopped to inhale the fresh air, see vast expanse of sky and chirping birds.

We also stopped for a short break at this fascinating place although we did not get inside the premises. It was barely half an hour before YSS ashram where we stayed for two days.

We took a different route via Nainital while coming back to Delhi and halted at Kainchi Dham for a  long halt where Neeb Karori Baba spent much of his time. His samadhi is in Vrindavan and his ashes are kept in a small temple at this dham.

Photography inside was prohibited. This temple was exceptionally clean and it was a delight to see so much order, hygiene and good administration.

I had to visit this holy place this time because I had to thank Baba and pay my obeisance for his kindness towards me.I spent a good amount of time in the premises and also meditated at the holy spot where he used to sit with his blanket and austere living conditions.

We reached Rishikesh at night and the next evening visited the Memorial of Shri Lahiri Mahasayaji in Haridwar.

The following day we left Rishikesh for Delhi. Before leaving we paid our gratitude and obeisance to Mother Ganga at 5.45 a.m.

Back in Delhi I visited Sri Aurobindo Ashram at IIT Gate, where the holy Banyan Tree called me once again to my good fortune. I was quite amazed to see its new health; it was robust and so healthy. Immediately I acknowledged that his will power to give more prana to the people and serve them has increased…..

Kriya Shakti, the power in us to do and act-III

#214

Ever since I have visited the very vibrant, sacred place in Bangalore called the Sapta Rishi Dhyana Kendra,  Manasa Light Age Foundation on 22nd August ’14 morning, there has not gone a single day when I am not thinking, contemplating about it or receiving very powerful and yet subtle energies from that source. In this way my mind, even when involved in the basic and special tasks and duties of the ongoing day has not been able to let go of its immense impact on me. In the gaps that are empty of occupation with the essential duties, I quickly go back to that place with the help of my subtle mind and I am meditating there. My physical body at home but my mind to be found in the meditation hall of the White Light, which is continuously arriving from the Sapt Rishis, the constellation of seven Sages and many other unnamed divine sources of Light as well. In this way, there have been many considerable gains in my favour from those sources. Besides, this post is in response to those yearning souls who are craving to obtain more food for their thought and Spirit.

Some persons wanted me to enter a post on Ganesh Chaturthi day. I pray to God and Lord Ganesha to fulfill that wish and impart us auspiciousness, intellect, mental prosperity and more insights for every person on this special day with this new publication. With these benevolent offerings and prayers, I narrate my interaction with an unknown, silent Sage this afternoon.

In my introverted and meditative times, fresh avenues and doorways have flung open by the grace of a Rishi who wishes to stay anonymous but has inspired me to write this post. The reason why he says he wishes to stay veiled from others is that the post contains many aspects of the veiled Maya or delusion about which we are never able to uncover in all our lives put together. We must nevertheless overcome it. However, it is only when a yogi has arrived at specific progressive and trailblazing milestone in his or her spiritual life, God begins to unfold so many mysterious secrets of Maya. In Maya all  people keep falling again and yet again blindly and agonize themselves and grieve incessantly after that. He wished to be elusive for the reason that this subject matter which is explained right here is also delusive and he will stay reclusive. Hence his point of view will be driven home extremely easily and people will remember today’s lesson well. It is his way of making us understand very well by staying nameless and unspecified. I agreed to his will out of sheer respect and admiration.

The venerated Sage in the celestial world explained to me at length that-

“There are many self-help and spiritual organisations all over the world which from outside look genuine but they are shady and dicey. They look attractive and inviting to public but are booby traps. The people who are running it are having asurik or enchanting powers of Maya. Those proclaimed Gurus or saints have vast qualities of attracting a large number of people who get driven to them blindly and commit themselves to doing actions which are prohibited by God. Such leaders have false individuality and abased ego and are surrounded invisibly by low quality dead entities which are holding that so called saint at ransom invisibly, thus lowering the energy field of the place and the people who come to them. The pseudo or self-styled Spiritual Gurus are not even in the know sometimes about the energy fields being invaded by the low beings from the bad world. Some do it on purpose and consciously thus misleading thousands of men and children. The unscrupulous, spiritual professors and lecturers resort to all types of occult and negative forces of nature for their own advantage and are completely unaware of what they are doing and what wrath they are about to bring upon the innocent visitors and their followers subsequently. In such states of consciousness, people who have arrived as seekers or worshipers or devotees, set out unknowingly to create a new group or set of karmas and actions which are so detrimental and regressive for them that one cannot ever even imagine.

When those disciples arrive at the door of the realized genuine Spiritual Master by good luck sometime in future, the task of relieving such number of sinking souls is a mammoth task for the genuine Messiah. Only an effusively enlightened Spiritual Guru can regress into very far off lives of such disciples and can help them come out of the mess and disorder that was created in many incarnations back by them or even if generated now in the present life.

Likewise, there are many people who are living around us in our environment and are harming us by their negative vibrations and behaviour. We are tolerant and also accepting this fact because primarily we cannot differentiate between good and evil people. We do not know how badly we are getting affected currently by them and will also continue in future by our obliviousness.”

And so the kind Rishi educated me very gently in his own, sublime manner for many more minutes. He continued very gently in murmurs-

“It is God’s mercy through the mentor Guru or other saintly, godly souls who are always protecting you from the ethereal world and hinting at the proposal of minimizing your contact with such nasty and depreciating people. We do so because we do not want you at any cost to fall back in the dark world again and suffer for so many existences or lives, physically, mentally or emotionally.

The Universe consists of negative and positive energies. The negative forces play a very pivotal role in a soul’s journey towards knowing the presence of God in oneself. They throw upon us a challenge of a force that makes our journey upwards to divinity difficult, rather unmanageable. And that is the test laid by God for us so that we pass the test of struggle, a fight of overcoming all the opposing forces in nature.”

The venerated, silence loving Rishi further explained to me that-

“There is a thin line that divides the good saatvik force and the tamasik negative forces which we should differentiate if we wish to enter the realms of pure Spirit. I assert upon you all that we must never cross that line of Maya that divides the saatvik and tamasik force, the good and the evil force. If we do so, we shall fall into the booby trap of agonizing karmic cycles of action and reaction and get traumatize in so many ways in future incarnations.

There are cases of people who have come to learn from Spirit In Life but have left halfway as their own Maya in the guise of ego came in the way of realizing the Truth. If they do not return at present, they will take several incarnations to realize the Truth at that time but with agony and pain and the dawn of Purity and Truth will manifest with utmost grief, frustration and hurdles. Hence to make your journey to Self Realization easy and fast, get rid of the depleting, negative forces in and around you and let go of the false pride and submit humbly. Go deep inside to know your own weaknesses. Those people who have left unfinished tasks and not done but are reading the blog clandestinely and not acknowledging the person who is working hard to write enlightening articles regularly will be reprimanded and penalized by God. They must remember the story of Eklavya from Mahabharat who sacrificed his thumb for not telling and acknowledging his Master about his source of knowledge. He was cursed and humiliated by his own Guru Dronacharya while Arjuna was always blessed for having the subdued qualities of submission, love, purity and respect for the teachers.”

A lot of time just passed away in listening to what the humble Sage was telling me in the afternoon yet I was not done. I wished that he should summarize my lesson of the day with precepts and guidelines so that I always remember it when I need them. Knowing the innermost of my desires, the Sage very perfectly ended my learning session with benign wisdom and a memorable lesson-

He softly and tenderly re-joined, “Whenever we have done less actions of piousness and humility, whenever we have done very little actions of charity, when we have done such little actions of love and peace, the negative forces pounce upon us to consume us. Our own actions are responsible for the compelling Maya to overpower us and blind us. Do actions which will free you from the clutches of obscurity, demeaning ego, greed, wasteful desires and sexual lusts and longings.

Serve your Guru in whatever way you can. Serve the humanity according to your own strengths and power. Love everybody and do not be revengeful and nasty to people. Do not loathe, disgust the poor and needy, help them instead. Do not boast about your earnings and wealth, it is all very temporary. God can give you disease and sickness to show how little and insignificant you are in this world. Death will wipe out everything that you own today and will remove your name permanently from this Earth. Merely people who have done chaste, selfless, generous, loving and pure actions are remembered in history, times and ages to come. The Sapt Rishis are remembered today for their developmental and self-sacrificing actions for the society and people and their work was offered to God and hence they are venerated even today. Till this day they are continuing to help salvage the humanity in their act of redeeming their souls from wasteful lives and then assisting them to soar higher in spiritual world so that the Earth becomes a loving, peaceful and wonderful place for all living and non-living beings for centuries to come.

Never ignore your spiritual duties even if you have to ignore your everyday duties. Learn meditation with earnestness. Help those poor people who cannot walk alone on the virtuous path of Truth and Knowledge. Give a helping hand to the meek and the courageous alike. Fill your life with divine bliss, peace and pure love. Forgive those who have always hated and troubled you; their minds are contaminated. May God bless all of you with inner courage and strength to make your decision firm in fulfilling God Realization in this life itself. May you all prosper, find peace in all your attempts and may you all serve the Enlightened Masters in whatever you are capable of. Walk alone on the path of God with your head high and heart full of devotion, tranquillity and assure yourself a berth in the celestial world where no moment passes without lingering serenity, peacefulness and deep ecstasy. God is kind, very kind. You move an inch forward and God will hold your hand until you know His true nature so full of compassion, forgiveness, love and quietude.

Live your present life in enduring Peace, Love and Light.”

Kriya Shakti, the power in us to do and act-II

#213

Part A

Constant interaction is mandatory

My dear everybody, as you can see this post is coming after a long break. The last three weeks were hectic and busy with meeting new devotees of Shri Mahavatar Babaji as well as Swami Nityananda and Swami Dayananda Shaligram of Ganeshpuri likewise. They had come from their respective cities to either make a tie of lasting guru shishya relationship or others arrived to take their next lessons. Everyone was on their own platform yet we all bonded so well and a lot of spiritual security, further aspirations and new insights were undertaken by all of us. The last few weeks were kept aside mainly for this purpose and with God’s grace we all felt equally blessed during and after our meetings.

Merely reading the posts would not help anybody; keeping this view in mind some time was allotted for our meetings, exchanges and interfaces. A direct relationship with the mentor and the learner is a must for somebody’s progression and development. So the time was very well used. Hence, my apologies for not responding to your comments and emails on time. Hopefully, the coming weeks will be spent by composing new enriching posts after my vibrant meditations are done without interruptions and a lease of fresh energies are pumped in the blog…..

Part B

I have just arrived from an unplanned, very short trip to Bangalore and as God must have devised a plan for me beforehand, I was to my utmost delight able to meditate extremely deeply that I forgot all my grouses to myself! I got the auspicious opportunity to visit a very holy and pure environment that has been introduced and made by two sages in modern times in one side of Bangalore. I visited Amara Maharishi’s Sapt Rishi Dhyana Kendra, Manasa Light Age Foundation where many ageless Sages are continuously sending their love and Light to spread peace in the world, to help us to meditate and bring about a new Light Age from their spiritual realms in the above world.

Profound peace and tranquillity spreading over many kilometres and all their work done in pure silence was my observation, lasting impression and experience when I went there. I meditated in that place for quite a long time and absorbed profound divine energies to resume my work waiting ahead of me. A very soft, gentle touch of kindness and compassion was pervading in the entire place. I sat down in just three Towers or places of meditations and received so many blessings. I have returned with much renewed spiritual vibrant energies. I cannot wait to get started once again and finish this post right away.

During my time of deep connection with the Sages there, I realized that God is working through many enlightened Souls stationed in the higher regions of space to reform this Earth and teach us many things which normally remain beyond the purview of human intellect and understanding. The foremost task of the Sages is to spread peace and tranquillity everywhere on the Earth and in people so that we remain as close to God and divinity in us as can be possible. The many Sages who are constantly reviving the Earth by their Divine Light and love are also guiding us silently to become more aware of our own thoughts, deeds and feelings; they advise us to recourse to correctional methods correspondingly.

They are there for a purpose and hence we should perceptibly become aware of their presence as and when we see a very powerful, unique and outstanding thought; a new idea or a new wave of soft and supple energies arriving and sitting in us. The composition of their thought power is soft yet very powerful. They generate a breed of new powerful thoughts and allow us enough room to think after that so that we can act on those new found soft energies.

The ancient Sages also teach us to believe and have trust in the subtle or sublime mind. The subtle mind if accessed neatly and deftly in depth with prolonged practice of meditation under the constant guidance of a gifted Guru, is composed of many useful thoughts that can change the course of our future lives to come. It is a seed to our future touch and contact with the ethereal world. These thoughts pertain to our very old nature or character which is pious, compassionate and peaceful and that which we have lived countless lives before from today.

Gautam Rishi- In my unplanned morning meditation before midday at home today, I was truly blessed with some magnificent times in presence of Gautam Rishi, one of the Sapta Rishis or Seven Rishis. He advised me to follow the path of silence in times of difficulties and problems as one can access to the rays of Divine Light which they keep sending on the Earth for useful purposes from time to time. He spoke to me so gently, “Maintain silence; contemplate on your every action if that action does not give you peace of mind. Meditate after there is a tempest from outside. Think deeply, very deeply. Spread peace wherever you go. Forgive others who do not understand your point of view and deep, sublime and transcendental thoughts. Besides, through you, I shall assist many seeking souls who would have otherwise never been able to get access to higher and richer domains of divine existence.

And for the beginners He said – “Wherever you go, never forget that God is always waiting for you to become his holy child and perform holy actions. If you fail in your endeavour, try again and change the condition of your mental status and arrive at a higher stage of consciousness. Whenever you perform holy acts, you are truly rewarded in the manner God deems fit. At whatever time you will remember me and are in a dilemma of Dharma- that is to say what is right and what is wrong, I shall always send you my waves of consciousness so that you are quickly on the right path of virtue, truth and nobility”………

Part C

In my evening meditation there was another bonus of boon when during deep connection with my divine Consciousness, I was very adoringly made conscious of the silent arrival of Swami Kartikeyan or Murugan Swami, the second son of Lord Shiva. His darshan or arrival is very auspicious and rare and therefore, I became acutely mindful. He gave me very useful acumen about many current demanding issues and also gave solutions to ongoing complex problems that need to be tackled in the coming days for the welfare of many people.

Shri Kartikeyan Swami, “Your actions are very pious and I am very pleased with you. I decided to send you to the forceful and pious divine circumference where the Sapt Rishis and others are constantly applying their mind force to elevate the consciousness of all people. Those people who are always happy to do actions which bring about happiness, prosperity and spiritual awareness in others are blessed by me. Actions that are performed with devotion and selflessness bring peace and prosperity while those performed with hidden, evil motives are cursed and punished. Many people wander on this land without ever thinking the kind of misery they have brought upon themselves only by doing unholy actions. They take so much time to teach themselves to go deep within and find their own peaceful paradise by learning to sit in silence and contemplating. They do not perform actions that will give them peace in their hearts and mind. They only wander here and there and when they find no divine peace inside, they revert to superficial actions which give them temporary relief.

This world is an illusion, a wonderful place where all beings get deluded and fall in the trappings and hypnotism of false and impermanent things.

Therefore, alter and amend your lives by leading pious lives by doing pious actions. Accumulate and save boundless good actions which will give you the power to release your ignorance. Learn meditation to clear your mind of the past debris of many incarnations and recreate with your own actions a paradise inside yourself that is filled with the fragrance of simplicity, honesty, peacefulness and divinity.”

Kriya Shakti- the power in us to do and act-I

#212

IMG_1813

Part-A

My dear fellow co-travellers, today is 12th July of 2014; Guru Purnima, a full moon night, an auspicious day most widely celebrated across the world by all the devotees, disciples and seekers and of course, by the admirers of the system of guru shishya, teacher–student’s unconditional relationship. After receiving quite a few messages and mails in the day, I wish to reply to all with my new post, hope you receive your message and lesson. It has been quite a long time since a new blog-post appeared here. The reason is obvious- we are revising and recapitulating older articles on FB with the intention of churning and absorbing the hidden as well as obvious facts in the blogposts. Moreover, new, short and systematic posts are being published on Face Book also for those who could not have processed and grasped the very grave articles on the blog pages at the outset. Many of you who have reached the blog via FB hopefully are getting to know about the foundation and the natural flow of theme in which the blog ascends progressively. I have been eagerly awaiting to know from them if they need any clarification or further explanation on those topics; I think many do. Please take your time to introduce yourself and tell me what is it that you are absorbing and what should I do more to enhance your inner sadhana. Sending only friend request won’t be helpful.  You may please first write something about yourself on spiritinlife@gmail.com, after which a student-teacher relationship can be initiated and help and proper guidance received by you.

Please let me tell you that on Spirit In Life blog, you shall find only ways and methods of doing inner sadhana. The more you are going to stabilize and quieten your mind by performing those certain actions, the more you shall get clarity about the basis and principles of knowing the Truth within. With the passing of time you shall get more  peace and calmness because your ignorance shall be wiped out gradually with the Light of God. Many saints’ blessings are embedded here so remember to tune in your mind with theirs. Be cautious in retaining and preserving what you have grasped or else you may lose it slowly with flow of time. The hurricane-wind of the Maya or the deluding force will uproot your stabilized mind. Those who are doing their Kriya practice, please do not disrupt your discipline. Many of you are not initiated in it, it is alright. Reading the articles of the blog with trust and faith as well as pure devotion will lead your life into a new direction which you had never imagined before. Words of wisdom and new light shall follow after you have imbibed the whole essence. It requires you to put in the effort of many reads in the articles so as to grasp the unabridged quintessence. Later, you may surely ask for my help in case you still feel that you have not been able to touch the lowermost bed of the sea! I am of the view that those of you who have been sincere in their determinations and struggles have managed to come quite far relatively effortlessly…..

So let’s begin our next lesson-

Outer actions and inner actions, antar bahir kriya – both actions are going on all the time in us. Outer actions are those that require a human being to do actions with one or more of the five senses present in the physical body. While inner actions are those that are performed silently or loudly at the level of mind and not visible.

Inner sadhana or tapasya involves the mind. The mind or manas at the advanced level of an aspiring yogi is engaged in performing actions for the  higher purpose of attaining the advanced knowledge of discovering the Truth or Self within oneself. The external actions become secondary in such a case. They are done sometimes to assist the growth of the Soul. Inner actions are systematically initiated and performed with the aid of proper guidance of a realized Guru also called as Atmagyani Guru, that is a Guru or Teacher who has experienced the immortal, eternal existing power called Atma or Brahma within oneself.

Atma is very elusive; it is hidden even from the greatest intellectual or gyani. It deceives the most knowledgeable man, it can delude the most self styled propagandist, missionary or advocator or proponent or a champion of jugglery of words! Yet it is present in all of us and every being!

So what should a true seeker do, how should they begin their journey of Self Realization?

The real work begins with the act of doing subtle actions related to one’s mind. It is to first calm the mind, silence it and then fix it wholly on Divine Guru first.  And with attaining perfection, advance towards bringing one’s mind on concentrating on unalloyed, absolute Brahma. This is also action, also called kriya but they are refined karmas. With meditation and concentration as the breath calms down with daily practice, the prana, the life force disjoints with manas, mind and the knot of jeeva and Atma separates. With constant hearty blessings of Guru and our own regular efforts, the Atma begins to dazzle!! It shines as gyan, knowledge, peacefulness, outpourings of joy called Ananda and sometimes as pure silence or void- all are attributes of our eternal Self.

Be steadfast, be truthful to yourself and know that these subtle actions or sukshma karmas or kriyas will take you very far in achieving the lost kingdom of God within.

Many people wonder in the world and question why we aren’t doing regular  ceremonial actions as is being preached in our religions or communities instead. The answer is that when wisdom dawns, ignorance flies! The mind does maximum actions, maximum internal actions give maximum corresponding good or bad fruits of our actions in time to follow. Hence, when we stop this predicament, and do some specific actions with awareness after controlling and concentrating the mindless breaths; or if we put a stop to wasting of breath, then enlightenment and knowing of that Supreme Self is possible when we take charge of those subtle actions that are occurring continuously on the platform of our mind with mastering meditation……..

(To be continued)

Shri Bogarnath enlightened me about this in my evening subtle meditation through His Light on this auspicious day of Guru Purnima and asked me to write about it. It is our Guru Purnima Prasad and should be partaken with that attitude by all of us.

My heart is so full of gratitude and love towards all the sacred Masters, who are constantly showering their inner Light on us through their flow of subtle energies and because of that we proceed and move forward little by little and rise up higher in our Consciousness. On this special day, I touch their tender, holy feet and ask for their constant guardianship, protection and spiritual comfort and expansion of my consciousness……

 Part B

Effulgent White Light I saw coming towards me engulfing,

I absorbed it with contentment and gratitude and further more gratitude,

My eyes smoothly closed and welcoming it with a loving heart,

I noted that this time, it was different as it would not stop too quickly!

 

It was gratifying, I applied my will mildly for it not to end coming towards me,

Last night was unique as the bright Divine Light was surging towards me incessantly,

I could see it inside my eyes and saw the faintest colours; beautiful white and softest blue,

More than enough moments passed and it still lurked around me and daintily kept streaming and flowing.

 

More Light, still more Light surrounded me and I noted that I had no desire to have it stopped,

It filled my vision, my eyes, my calm mind and my every happy pore of the inner being liberally,

Why should it be stopped and why should it not be cascading over my fortunate eyes?

The gentle, soft, endearing, mellow, soft and enchanting Light had arrived as a sign of my benevolent and merciful God!

 

Unceasing it was, this time it would not stop easily for it came to say that blessings were being sent, said He-

“For all the hardships endured with no complaints or antipathy or sigh or outbreak or pessimism,

You were as if burrowing the Ocean, you knew that unless you have the patience of the magnitude of the giant mountains Himalayas,

You will never be able to see Me as brilliant, as effulgent, as radiant and as ceaseless as today this!

 

I come to you as per and according to you how you make a vision of Me inside and,

Your devotion, faith and ingenuity and ceaseless yearnings and endless heart wrenching calls!

I am not so easy to attain yet not so hard to please, if you are fiercely determined and are ready,

To submit everything that belongs to you and even your happiness, health, life and death and every breath.

 

Come to me all, if you are ready to entice me with your unending faith and devotion,

Give me your love, attention, regard, care, vision, heart, splendour and everything that you own,

I will confirm you and welcome you with my most brilliant attributes and gifts of knowledge,

Love, sympathy, compassion, bravery and very brilliant Light of mine that you have ever imagined and have never known!”

 

(From my encounter of 03.06.14 late night. First came Light and then along with it these words)

We are revising our old lessons.

Dear friends, it is Down Time. The last post issued was on 3rd June ’14 . Since then no posts have been published because there are already many serious posts published earlier and they need to be revised in depth. There are many new blog followers; some prepared some not so prepared. Many are at the very basic level while others are about to take off on a flight of their own. So it is a very good idea to sit back and see what this blog has to offer to all of us.

The posts on topics such as Consciousness or Chetna Shakti has commenced recently on FB. Excerpts from important articles are going to be picked up for some time and those posts will be read again in this way. Absorption and churning of those articles is very important.

A delightful beginning has taken place recently where the serious people are visiting many  holy sites on their own to clear off much of their karmic baggage after reading my spiritual journey when I made  trips to those holy places. Pondicherry, Parangipettai, Palani, Dakshineshwar, Dwarka, Somnath, Kumarpukar, Jairambati, Dwarahat, Varanasi and Ganeshpuri are those places mainly. There are also some who have gone to other places also. I feel extremely happy to see your enthusiasm and the will to overcome your past and renewed energies seems to have seeped in the blog as well the blog followers. Some say that they were inspired by me and my determination and hence they are motivated. I am very grateful to God and the readers for it. May I ask God that more people understand the value of walking on the foot prints of so many highly advanced spiritual giants who have put their holy feet for centuries on those highly charged places of spiritual value in India? May those people too have the inner urge to rectify their past and seek those precious vibrations of great spiritual value!

A silent revolution is taking place although there are no prescribed norms and regulations from my side and yet on their own some people are walking quietly on the sands of the footprints of lofty Yogis and Mahayogis and saints and sages of India’s past heritage. I have only the enlightened Gurus and God to thank because such acts are performed by very few people that we know of. Most of the people are too busy as they very engrossed in their daily life. It requires resolute and firm determination to walk the path of your convictions. Nonetheless, too much is always too little on this long path of eternal bliss and peace of God. So take one firm step at one time and seek God every day in every breath.

Wish to end up this small page of some information with this poem which I wrote on FB some time back.

Lasting friendship!

Deep within lives my mate, my dearest friend,
My guide, my most favourite and most beloved,
When I forget the world and severe ties with it and lose myself,
I find you waiting there for me silently and patiently,
Thus I come back to you, your abode within me.

I find you there in the most blissful state,
Your love that oozes and flows into my heart,
Your love so refreshing, so serene, so endearing,
That nothing in the world compares with it anywhere,
If only somebody could possibly dive there to know what I so genuinely speak!

Your presence so firm, your existence so eternal,
Whenever I come in your contact, the lacklustre outer world is dissolved,
A world that has no power to capture my imagination anymore,
For what you give me is so incomparable and so strongly desirable,
A sense of complete being, a sense of timelessness and eternity and flawless enduring continuity!

Please do keep coming back to me amidst the mundane and amidst the regular,
Please be with me when the most important task is in my hands,
Please seek me when I am doing my daily duties,
Please hover around me when there is a looming danger,
Please watch me and sleep with me at night, where with you there is no fear!

My mind’s focus is never blurred; my eyes never tire to wait until you arrive again,
With you immortality seems natural, bliss my nature and peacefulness my natural state,
My Soul appears to be eternal and I seem to belong to the pure Immortal world,
The ebb and flow of the constantly changing world is unnatural,
As behind all this magical game, it is You who will outlast the whole thing!

I have found a friend in you who shall never separate from me,
I love your unconditional, permanent and appealing friendship,
I have grieved; I have faced indefinite calamities and tragedies,
I have endured so many challenging circumstances in many bodies and incarnations,
And have found you at last my most revered, most pious and my most treasured beloved Friend!!
