Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 THE ART OF QUALITATIVE TRANSFORMATION TO ASSIST WATCHING------- lecture no. ---- 5     MAHAKUMBHA , 2010 HARIDWAR ,INDIA... the river, the sand, the water , the dust, millions' footsteps, cheering crowd, overwhelming joy . for! a holy dip in ganges, earning virtues, washing sins, the coolness, calmness, the serenity, tranquility, no pain, no suffering, just prayers, mantras, continuous chanting.. this was the beauty, for biggest crowd, world has ever witnessed.. my heart goes with it, my head bows down, what a country i am born, my humblest gratitude, my deepest gratefulness, thank you lord, you have gifted me , this great life. ------- swami maa dear blessed ones, blessed love, om guru om ! hope u all are in great joy. i am delighted to be back to my ABODE..but same time little sad to leave behind the great city where millions are spending their precious time , while chanting, meditating,taking holy dip in ganges on this most eventful, auspicious occasion of MAHAKUMBHA..where unusual meeting of rare astrological stars are happening effecting deeply peoples'lives in haridwar.a rare event is happening on celestial level.the whole environment was appropriate to awaken your holiness within.that is the beauty of kumbha.morning starts with vedic chantings, mantras, holy bath in ganges.all over spiritual discourses, holy feasts and sadhus, seers, sages,hermits, renunciates from all over the world. it looks like the great assembly of spiritual ones gathered at one place for one purpose.purification of whole being. it was mere coincidence that my 60th birthday fell on 5th march during mahakumbha. and i got an opportunity to celebrate it in spritual manner with my people--devotees, disciples..so there was rudrabhishekam, rudra yagna, holy feast to great seers, sadhus,sannyasis, mahamandaleshwars etc.and every body was in mood of celebration, festival. it was simply gathering of those who live in HEART... " festivity, celebration happens through heart. the head can not celebrate. head can just think about celebration. it can..think about...about..about..but it can not celebrate. " a grown- up person- educated, cultivated and conditioned-stop feeling.he becomes almost dry, dead wood; no juice flows any more. hence there is so much misery. misery is because of the head.unfortunately all our education focusses on cultivating the head not heart. and without heart celebration is impossible. guru gives you a climate, a season, an environment to cultivate your heart. he brings you back to your childhood. but this childhood is different from your natural one. because this chilhood has the mixed flavour of innocence and wisdom both simultaneously.with this asset attained through the grace of guru you can easily enter into the realm of your own inner reality, your godliness, your spiritual..divine zone.head is the biggest obstacle on the path of divinity.it has to be dropped. and once guru works on you the first thing happens you deliberately drop your head. in fact you love to drop it , because you realize its futility.and suddenly awakening happens-awakening of divine consciousness.with this first time you feel your health. despite of physical diseases still you feel at ease, healthy, peaceful.perturbance is the real disease, peace is the real health.and in the state of peace healing happens-healing of wounded soul.to begin with you can try these simple devices. STEP1; BE THE WITNESS-CONSCIOUSNESS " whatever comes anger, lust, passion just watch it without identifying yourself with it.graduallygap will grow between witness & thoughts/ emotions. and there will be a point when you will have control on your mind. the moment your mind bigins to come under your control, as you gradually start becoming the witness.. you will find that reality; your soul, your actual existence, begins to become awakened. this awakening is the start of self awareness meditation.in awakening whatever comes sooner or later it gets transformed into meditationit leads you to the center-your center of existence. and to be centered is the essence of awakened living, balanced living..perfect way of being in this world beyond beyond pain & pleasure. may god lead you to your center. in the service of godliness, with blessed love, swami maa in the service of godliness, with blessed love, shree swami maa , india Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
