Satsang with Upaguru and 15 mukhi rudraksha

[Guest guest]

Namaste.

 

I would like to share a personal experience and testimony, what

occurred while wearing a 15 mukhi rudraksha.

 

Now surely I know the Lord takes pity on those of us who have no Guru

to access, but who show reverence and listen for the guidance of Upaguru.

 

I live with a family member who can be very difficult; all of my

attempts to respond to his argumentative nature were futile. I

enlisted the advice of professionals, and followed their suggestions

with no relief.

One day, upon investigating an odd tapping noise outside, he and I saw

a Mockingbird furiously attacking the side mirrors on each vehicle in

the driveway. (3 vehicles with 2 mirrors each) This bird literally

flew to each mirror, pecked at it with rage,and proceeded to the next

mirror until all 6 mirrors had been thus attacked. He would retire

for a few minutes, then begin this mirror-rampage all over again. I

wondered aloud if this tiny bird had lost its mind, and the family

member speculated that perhaps the bird had a nest nearby and was

defending it.

The family member went inside, and before I could do likewise, I was

overwhelmed by a force that kept me in place, while an infusion was

given to me...an insight beyond my intuitive musings or discursive

reflection.

It was as if another voice was illustrating to me, " You see

now...this is an analogy for your situation. This mockingbird, in his

ignorance, sees HIS OWN reflection in the mirrors, and erroneously

believes it to be another bird, a bird that threatens him and hence he

feels the need to attack.

Likewise do people in their ignorance behave. Laboring under the

illusion of Maya, people cannot discern that there is no genuine

separation...when you see another, you see your own reflection. An

attack upon you by another amounts to nothing more than an extension

of that persons fear by what they imagine is another person posing a

threat. A threat that exists only in their imagination, as there is

no distance between his spirit and yours. And just like the bird

gained nothing from his efforts but a sore beak and headache, so do

people accomplish nothing but harming themselves when they extend

anything other than love towards any sentient being. "

 

The profundity was amazing! In one nanosecond, all the ideas

intellectually learned became a personal Truth vibrating within;

suddenly, the laws of Karma and many adages uttered by the sages and

Masters throughout time transformed into my own personal knowledge by

direct infusion. Now my understanding was a living truism, albeit it

remains difficult for me to articulate all that was infused in one

instant.

It is one thing to adhere to guidelines or instruction because one has

been told it is true; it is quite another to KNOW the truth on a

deeply personal level, as ones own. Now I do not have to govern

myself accordingly with effort, the correct mode of response is an

automatic reply which echoes in alignment of the selfsame instructions

given by the learned sages of yore.

 

There was no desire to be condescending or patronizing with an

attitude toward this difficult ego of the family member (eg; an " I'll

overlook your surly attempts to argue because you're ignorant " type of

thing). No, conversely I felt and feel a deep compassion whenever

anyone attacks (verbally or with behavior), because I SEE they are

acting from a platform of fear and ignorance, nor realizing or

recognizing they have no power to hurt me, only themself.

If a small child threatens to punish an adult by harming himself, we

can only feel compassion for their aberrant thinking.

 

As if to provide an extraneous affirmation, several weeks later

someone sent a letter to this family member and jokingly addressed it

to " Mr.Mockingbird " .....I am sure this was a jest engineered to tease

the family member about his crazy bird that was attacking his

vehicles, as he shared his perceptions of the event with others.

But I understood it to be a confirmation that what Upaguru infused to

me in that exalted moment was not merely my own fanciful imaginings or

a fluke flash of intuitive insight elicited by my own efforts.

 

A few weeks later, the mala of my 15 mukhi rudraksha broke, and every

effort to repair proved to be of limited duration. Even the clasp of

solid gold will break without any logical explanation, the metal comes

apart as if snipped with wire-cutters.

I can only conclude that the bead served its purpose in stepping-up

the vibratory rates of my brain and improving the lateral thinking

which enabled me to receive this great gift of infused insight,

knowledge and understanding.

The 15 muki now occupies place of honor on the altar.

 

I will never forget this experience, and I have never been able to

think of people or their behavior the same after.

Indeed, I approach others as extensions of my SELF, seeing the light

and beauty of Brhama in myself and others.....of course, the correct

way to phrase this is, " WHAT " OTHERS " ??????.

For there truly is no separation between any of us, only the Unity

that exists.

A glimpse behind/beyond the veil of Maya is a wondrous gift, one I

would happily share with all of humanity. But it is not mine to

bestow, and I also worry that my verbiage and vernacular can never

really convey all that transpired in this experience/encounter.

My words can never do justice to the enormity and depth of the

infusion given in this simplistic event; however, all fundamental

truths are simple, only our egos are complex.

I have also a whole new level of appreciation for the adage,

" When ego is lost......limit is lost. "

 

I want to thank RR for the rudraksha, and of course I celebrate life

and without effort extend love and gratitude to the Lord for lifting

me to a whole new level.

In case you are wondering, when I ceased to struggle with the egos

involved in the dynamics of family relationship, both mine and the

family member involved, all friction summarily stopped.

There is no longer any need for me to defend...there was no attack,

except as it existed in the distorted minds of us both..and we both

are one...how can the unity of ONE entail conflict? It cannot.

 

Om Nama Shivaya BOM BOM
