Day 7 : May 28
Tu hi sagar hai tu hi kinara … Guruji is reading Ashtavakras book, there is a hushed expectant beautiful Silence..
Our venerable old Sage Swami Pragyanand is speaking, Guruji requested Him to speak first… Narayana Narayana Narayana Narayana
Knowing many things is not enough, every thing is incomplete unless you can know the substratum of where everything comes from
Figuring out where the mind is coming from is really worth finding out- how? Witness whatever is arising in the mind through deep relaxation
And now Guruji will start to speak…
The reason for sorrow is a limited view of life, there is only joy when the intellect has expanded
The intellect which looks back and sees to it that it doesn’t repeat mistakes of the past in the future can be called … Well, intelligent
Making the same mistakes again n again is the mark of a (loosely translated) stupid animal
The fire of desires has burned you, some coolness in your mind and heart will come when you focus on one desire, the desire to rest within
As you can see your face in a clean mirror, that way Divinity can be seen in a calm relaxed mind
again and again clean up your mind, stabilize yourself within yourself
How space is there within and outside a pot, God is also within and outside you, you, your body, mind etc are floating in Divine Consciousness
Relax. wait. don’t search. wait. stop. just know this, you are floating in God. Every atom IS God. You have never been seperated from God
And never will you be seperated from Him. Juuuuust relaxxxxx……………
Bhakti never dies, but can be veiled, if veiled you may not feel the connection, but know that it is there, you will feel restlessness then
This restlessness will go away, don’t worry. Feel blessed its there bcoz it means Bhakti is right there and will soon shine through
Whatever you are doing, continue doing, but know deep within you are doing nothing – this is what it means to drop doingness…
While doing, be a witness to all action… That’s it for tonight, Jai Gurudeva! Waves of Love from the Bangalore Ashram – bawa
Day 8 :May 29
Wow, Guruji just entered sat and started with Ashtavakra…
The biggest fool is the one who feels he is a sinner, is no good and so looks for Divinity outside, not within
Another fool is the one who says the world is bad, evil and so look for God within
Western tradirions cannot understand God is within you, they keep God far away somewhere
India people say all world is useless, all is. Maya, search inside
Vedic traditions say God is within and outside, so don’t put down the world coz that’s been made by God and don’t make the fatal mistake of Putting down yourself!
So saying Ashtavakra stops His speech and now King Janaka starts to speak…
And Guruji said this and started singing… He Himself is singing and outside its raining and the temperature has dropped to super pleasant!
Day 9 : May 31
Its that magical time of the day again… Guruji is here, serenely meditating and chitra, our nightingale is singing Om Namo Narayana…
Is the knowledge of Ashtavakra only for saints and rishis? No, no its for anyone and everyone (who has tasted meditation), coz it’s been Given to the King, a person totally embroiled in the worldly matters
That happiness and contentment that I was searching for, that’s within me, that’s me! How wonderful!
Just as when you watch tv you are watching vibrations, waves exactly like that what you see with your eyes is also just waves – a 3D film!
2 points of view, 1 side shows many, diversity, the other that everything is just 1
1 side, limited vision is every person is different other side a broad expanded vision shows everyone is just One
To see this other side, the Divinity present everywhere, you need a skill
Janak says this moment I have dropped everything and I have expererienced God. He said this but he remained King He simply let go internally
You continue doing whatever you are doing and with skill let go, and let go right now!
In the gross, there are many. As you go subtler and subtler there is just one. God is the subtlest and it requires skill to see
Like a wave is not diff from the vastness of theĀ ocean, same way in 1 shakti, we all have diff forms and names and take birth, live and die
I have recognised that Shakti … By moving my vision from the individual to the root of all individuals… This I have realised
So saying Guruji concluded tonights session. I have not been able to do justice to the brilliant session Guruji took with my tweets, please Get the dvd when it comes out and watch it!
Jai Gurudev
