[Srividya-Tantra] Meditation query

October 7, 2008

namste,

it has been since a long time that i have replied within the group. There must be a reasson as to why so i may reply .

Everything has a begining as to yourself this is the first step for yu too for your asking about the below on how to meditate.

Meditation is for a lot of different reasson some for postive attitude some use for calmness etc basically a tool for many but Really meditation is for spirituality, where one says a Master is needed. yes that is true. But if you have faith within you , you can start to meditate and when time is right Guru will find you.

When one plays with clay to have a to make a vase etc in his first attempt one always fail no matter how yu try to hold the clay mud your mould is not right, in tiem you hava balance clay in your plam and things turn from figures to vase to beautiful things around you. the same with meditaiton at first your mind wanders can hold still, as in time in years you develope close realtionship, for tht from full thought of mind to a zero thought.

This is not easy for no soul. it takes time , and also love towards your kriya your sadhna towards you on a full contrary.

It is not a prayer,meditation means awareness ...Meditation describes a state of concentrated attention on some object of thought or awareness. The practice of focusing your attention to help you feel calm and give you a clear awareness about your life.

Pranam,

Babitha

Dear Sir,

Please tell me how to meditate.

Dear R,

This is like asking me: "Please show me God"

You ask me about rituals, pujas, scriptures, mind, Vedas,etc I can answer but you ask me a very fundamental question as in : Please tell me how to meditate.

It is highest art, if you take it as an art.It is the highest science if you take it as a science.

I take it as the highest nothingness as I think nothing about it. It is said, true meditation happens betwene two meditative speace-times. This is true, I have experienced this.

Zen,Taoism,Buddhism have influenced me from my childhood and also my father's cousin JK(Jiddu Krishnamurti) who used to say "Truth is a pathless land". He was right.

I remember as a small kid asking him in Telugu, " I heard you were a great man should I follow you?"

He replied, "If you follow me you will die."

I understood even then what he meant, he meant an internal death. Truth really does not have any path.Srividya Tantra which I follow is more of a devotion for my Guru.This is my pahtless path, meditationless meditation.

JK in his younger days.He lived till 1986(I was in my primary school PSBB in Chennai then.I remember seeing Him as a tottering Nonogenarian in Adyar and later he moved to Ojai, California)

Also by telling that JK is my relative, I dont become a JK.Infact it is insulting my Athma which God has given me which is equivalent in potential and puissance to JK like how all of you possess.

But sometimes a small interaction with such great masters does help...

The logical minded people in the group go by a fixed rule, a fixed regimen and hope to bait God or Paradevata with their regimen, their discipline.But I think a parrot if trained or an intelligent monkey if trained will be able to do all these things, maybe with lesser Kama/krodha!

Brain and mind are commodities. Meditation is being sold for these commodities by unscrupulous people thee days.Just be the fire, meditation will come from within without effort.

Many times I do what I term as "death meditation". I have my own version where I still the brain and go into a daze just watching aimlessly the ceiling and then finally closing my eyes. Now, this is meditation, if you please.

Meditation is not something complex.It is the simplest thing in the world, yet the mind, the religions, the books and scriptures and the dogmas make it very complex.Something 'highbrow' as God or Paradevatha has to have attendent rituals to it, something Big has to have a big key.

A small key can open a big door.

Like how our friend S says(both the one who has asked me the query and this S are my school friends) in the Deiveeka-Chennai- Bhasha: " Macchi! Mokka podama sollanumnaa" ...>Meditation is a personal journey, it is so great that it cannot be taught by anyone and it comes from within. A master can at best bring about the flowering faster.

Now, this reply will not be liked by some erudite members of my groups and some even go behind me and complain about me in other forums or malign me as usual and tout me as a 'madcap' and say that I behave contradictorily (one hand pouting about Shastras and on the other hand speaking like this Zen-like) but as usual --->Iam my care-e'-jaath- self.Dont care for all these, just doling out what I consider the truth.Upto you to take it or leave it.

At the feet of my Master, this 'mad-cap'
