Namaste darling siblings!!!

from Sri Sivaya Subramuniyaswamiji....

 

Lesson 62

 

The Diamond Of Light

 

How do you avoid unhappy states of mind? By

consciously flowing awareness

into the radiance, the light emanating from the

self-effulgent being

within the lotus of the heart. Direct awareness

through controlled

breathing. Remembering this basic principle, tell

yourself that it is

there, and soon you will begin to feel it. You

will actually cause to

grow within yourself a subtle nerve force that

will turn awareness into

the inner being so that consciously you can feel

the Self God, your

Sivaness, and its emanation that even now exist

within you. In this way

you can experience true bliss, true

happiness--blissful happiness that

does not cycle or fade.

 

 

 

One moment of contact with your inner being that

resides within the

lotus of the heart, that is always there--one

moment will clear up a

whole situation in the external area of the mind

for you. It will give

you clear insight into how you should live your

life, how to meet your

circumstances, how to avoid whatever you do not

want to find yourself

involved in as the cycles of your life begin to

repeat themselves.

 

 

 

This self-luminous emanation is like a diamond

that is filled with

light. Think about it in that way. It is filled

with light, this diamond

that resides within the lotus of your heart. Try

to visualize this

clearly and precisely as you read. Visualization

of inner things is

the same as opening an inner door for awareness

to flow through to gain

the experience that is already there.

Visualization helps to pinpoint

awareness and hold awareness concentrated in one

certain area of the

mind and gently move it to another. With this

shining diamond constantly

within the body, how could you become aware of an

unhappy area of the

mind? How could you become selfish? How could you

hold resentment? How

would it be possible for you to dislike another?

This diamond within

the lotus is within others, too.
