Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 45)

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 45

 

The

technique for meditation cannot be standardized for all. Each one

reaches the self in his own way, and each self communicates and merges

with the universal consciousness in its own fashion. Meditation is a

process in which the voice of the self arises and calls upon the

Mother, the universal consciousness, to come to take upon all the

goodness and impurities from you, leaving behind only your divinity

that is the droplet that returns to the ocean in complete surrender and

complete acceptance of the will of the Supreme Lord. It

is in the hours of the early morning that the surroundings are calm,

the mind is less agitated and the body is rested. With continual to

keep the mind devoid of all thoughts, and with prayers to the Lord for

His grace, the true self from within will be experienced, the divine

energies that lay in the self will be felt, and the response of the

Mother to your true calling will be heard. Meditation will allow you to

lose your identification with the body, and you will slowly discover

the eyes that can see much beyond, the eye that will see even in

complete darkness with the shedding of its own light, the eye that sees

only one path, and recognizes only one love, and sees only sweetness

and goodness - the presence of God.The

power of tolerance to all and being ignorant to all negative energies

that are developed during meditation, must be carried with you

throughout the day, in all your acts, words and thoughts. Meditation

must start early, but must not end early, too. Do not be eager or

impatient to acquire the results of meditation quickly. Just like the

body sleeps, this is the practice of keeping the mind asleep, and

letting the self rise, breaking the limitation of your body, destroying

every agitation, every fear, and recognizing the falsehood of all

troubles and seeing the reality of you and all, in this true embrace of

God. Know that all that exists around you are bestowed with the gifts

of this same divine energy, difference being in the color, size, and

shape of the gift wrap. Your ability to communicate with the Mother of

the universal consciousness depends upon the yearning with which your

own divine spirit within calls upon Her. It

is important to start your sadhana of meditation with love of one form,

with the name of one God, and with the guidance of a teacher who has

already merged into the universal consciousness, even though he appears

to be living in this world of attachments. The life of this spiritual

teacher that you have chosen must become your goal and your message of

life. Your faith in recognizing and living your lives with divine

principles will come, only when you identify another divine spirit that

has lived in the mortal body in this worldly life, and has still

completed his journey in the arms of Godhood. Your faith in this

teacher will, automatically, build the faith in the presence of your

own divine energies.To

accept the totality of God is absurd and abstract to you today, but

this will, one day, be experienced by each one of you. Know that the

teacher that you love and the form that you worship has already tasted

the sweetness to merge in the totality, and His response to your

calling does not come from that particular form of the body, but from

the God that He is now an inseparable part of, from the God that lives

not only in but from the God that speaks and lives in every atom, from

the God that is with you, in you and all around you.
