When I sit here with you, I feel this amazing non-local presence. Non-local means beyond your body, your body is local. Can you capture that in the meditation? Can you experience that expansion of being that is present here in the hall, and by extension all those who are focused on us? Can you move beyond the boundaries of personality and body and can touch that expansive space, that non-local space? If you can, you will begin to experience, what we call, cosmic consciousness, where our consciousness will expand, connecting to a universe! #sriVasudeva #mahayogaMaster #kundalini #shaktipat #satGuru #cocreative #meditation #peace #consciouness #bliss #love #nonLocal #expansive #energy #universal
More from Sri Vasudeva Speaks
Before I was born, because of her religious background and she used to chant the Surya Purana, Surya Chalisa. It speaks about your child being like the sun if you pray, and she did that. Normally, the ritual is that you do it for 5 Sundays but she felt so nice doing this, she did it for 21. She didn't know in those days, no ultra sound but she wanted to have a son which she prayed for a son as bright as the sun. Those were her words and then this was born.
This practice of vairagya which means dispassion, simply means objectivity, not getting carried away, not being caught. And so the seeker has to be very careful about this engagement with the senses. So as a seeker, as you prepare for this 40 days, watch what you eat, watch what you drink, watch how you speak, watch how you engage with the senses, watch how you gossip, watch how the thoughts play. Because, don't be like a vessel when you begin fulling it, it has so many holes, that everything you put in it, goes away. No! Plug all the holes, that's vairagya, that your vessel may be more and more full without waste or depletion.
So in every moment you should try to be discriminatingly aware, intelligently aware, that you are not taken up with distractions, you are not carried away by emotions, you are not carried away by a scattered mind. No! You are centered in purpose. You are navigating this play with a vision and with a purpose to evolve in consciousness that you may be free, happy, loving and joyous. You need the intellect, you need an intellect operating in higher consciousness and you need the practice in daily life.
So when you come into a 40 Day Meditation Sadhana, what is your desire? Are you going to have no desire? Desire is like a rudder on a ship, it gives direction. Are you going to enter these days without a desire for transformation?
So let's keep that idea of discipline today. Discipline in the vision of what our purpose is, what we want to achieve. Discipline in thought because it is easy to have scattered thinking. Discipline in emotional being, not getting carried away by emotions you don't need and don't uplift. Discipline in co-creativity, being able to work with those around you in a seamless way that you don't need unnecessary instruction. Discipline in the meditative awareness, enjoying your inner self more than compulsion to talk. If you hold on to that discipline, surely transformation will happen. Don't let 40 Days go without a shift in consciousness. You have the opportunity in these 40 Days!
