I am back from Bangalore Ashram and had wonderful time with Guruji :-)
Though lots of knowledge tidbits straight from the Master, He also talked about His visit to Kashmir for resolving the Shrine land issue, His experience with people on His visit to remote countries and islands.
Guruji gave the secret to go into meditation/samadhi. He said just remember three things before you go into meditation.
1. Achaah (अचाह)
2. Akinchan (अकिंचन)
3. Aprayanthna (अप्रयत्न)
Only when your mind is established in these three you can effortlessly go into samadhi.
Achaah(अचाह) - Being desire less! I want nothing; no desires for anything worldly or spiritual else the mind is either caught up in the outside world (people-relationships, bills, payments, laundry etc.), thinking about it or looking for some spiritual experience (light, fragrance, out of body experience etc.) in meditation. This is the biggest impediment to get into your being. Desirelessness is bliss!
Akinchan (अकिंचन) - I am nothing! Dropping the 'I' for sometime, else the mind gets irritated even on the smallest of disturbance, noise. Even a door bell, barking dog or sound of utensils in the kitchen can drive you away from the center. And the mind goes 'I am meditating and people are making so much noise! I need to teach them a lesson!'Dropping the 'I', I am nothing!
Aprayanthna(अप्रयत्न) - No effort! Meditation is effortless; you don't need to put any effort. Like you go to have a massage, you just lie down and the masseur gives you the massage, you don't have to do anything! Do you?Let the divine work for you :)
That's it dear friend, hope you all enjoyed this. It is the most subtle knowledge that will work wonders with any technique. Let's practice this whenever we do our sadhana - sudharshan kriya, padma sadhna, meditations. Have a great week ahead!
Love,
Satyajit
