Meditation - A Process Of Cleansing, Dialogue And
Joining (cont.)
Meditation can be defined as a process of cleansing,
a process of dialogue and a process of joining.
Yesterday we had explained it as a process of joining.
Today we throw more light on the same:
Joining (cont.)
The Supreme Power is the eternal reference point for all
creation, whose task is to recharge and cleanse
everything. Being eternally pure and untouched by any
trait of selfishness or violence, the Supreme Being is
totally benevolent (kind), and through the eternal
energies of love and truth is capable of recharging and
filling the human soul with all the powers. Of
course, each person chooses their own level of
cleanliness, recharging or fullness.
That personal choice will determine the resulting powers
of love, peace, happiness and truth to be found in the
individual. The Supreme Being is like an eternal point
of pure Light that resides in the world of eternal
silence, beyond time and matter. Through concentrated
thought we can reach this source of love and purity.
When our mind is synchronized it takes just a
second to establish communication. When we reach this
place of eternal silence, the world of silent light, we
focus our
loving attention on the Supreme Being. If our focus is
deeply concentrated we can feel the self is filled with
the purest peace and love, something we have never felt
before in our lives. This is yoga: rejoining the self
with the Supreme Being and, in this union, we once again
recall all the things of value that had been hidden. So
yoga means remembering: remembering the original
self, the original and eternal relationship with the
Supreme Being and remembering, through experience, the
true meaning of love, peace and happiness (as a
result of the connection with the Supreme).
Soul Sustenance
The Senses in Balance
Our five senses are windows, which open out to the world
through which energy flows in two directions. The senses
receive impressions and information from the world, and
at the same time transmit our personalities to others.
Our eyes receive a constant stream of visual messages,
but we may also use the eyes to show how we feel.
Through our ears we hear the sounds of life; while by
"lending an ear" to others we give comfort to them.
Touch allows us to experience texture; but can also
transmit love and assurance. Our senses are not merely
instruments, but deep-rooted aspects of the self or the
soul.
In India, the senses of the body (eyes, ears, nose,
tongue and hands) are beautifully depicted in the form
of a chariot. The self or the soul is the charioteer
(controller of the chariot); the five senses are the
five horses. The self keeps the senses harmoniously
(peacefully) working together, controlling their
tendency to go out of control.
Message for the day
The one who has faith is always carefree.
Projection:
When things go wrong we tend to worry a lot. Many waste
questions come up in our mind troubling us throughout
the difficult time. We are not able to be free from
these kind of waste thoughts and tend to feel heavy.
Solution:
The way to be light at all times is to develop the faith
that things will work out fine. Even during the
difficult situation we need to maintain the faith that
there will be something good that will emerge from the
situation. This will enable us to be light even during
the most difficult situation.
Adjustment
Normally when we have to adjust with a person or a
situation, we tend to experience a lot of negative
thoughts. We find it difficult to adjust and we
experience defeat each time we have to make an
adjustment. We tend to feel that we are making this
adjustment for the benefit of the other person. We do
manage to adjust but not with lightness. To adjust means
to understand that nothing can be done to change the
situation so it is more sensible to accept it. So, we
are actually adjusting not because it is going to
benefit others, but because we are to be benefited. This
is like crossing over a physical obstacle that comes our
way, which we cannot remove. To move forward with
lightness in all situations, we need to have the
practice of looking at the positive aspect in everything
and everyone.
