Wahe Guru (Becoming Refined)

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

I've been chanting the mantra, Wahe Guru 16 times per breath, and

I'm aware, lately when I start...I begin to intensely notice the

movement of the tongue over the upper palette....it feels as if this

mantra lets no part of my mouth, go untouched. The tongue moves so

quickly, inorder to make 16 reps on the breath, that it begins to

feel like a machine of some sort...carving my being. It's like the

flour mill that grinds the raw formed wheat kernel into a refined

powder form.

 

The mantra "Wahe Guru" refines the human existence....it carries us

into the Aquarian Age and it serves the present times.

 

It grinds the pain of the past and distils the light of the future.

 

I remember the first time I began a practice of this mantra...I had

to stop because of the pain it produced in my liver! ha ha! (It just

moved too much "crap" at once...I couldn't process it quickly

enough). I told my teacher about this and he suggested I try

chanting mantra's which had Wahe Guru within them to begin...so I

did.

 

I've also heard you'll have better success if you've already done a

solid practice of Sa Ta Na Ma previously....preparing the soil first.

 

When we chant a mantra with enough prana and attention...we "evoke"

the state of consciousness that mantra describes. Our job is

to "recognize" what has been evoked. When we begin to recognize the

state of consciousness that is evoked...we begin to embody that

state of consciousness. Our lives therefore must begin to

change...because our consciousness has changed.

 

Becoming congruent with a certain state of consciousness that we

experience in meditation, may take simply touching that

consciousness with our awareness only once,...or...it may take us a

lifetime (or several), to catch our "everyday" life up to that

particular state of awareness (consciousness)....

 

I don't believe "evoking" a certain state of consciousness is the

hard part...I rather think.... "living" it, is.

 

May we all be fully integrated into the Light,
