Guest guest Posted February 27, 1999 Report Share Posted February 27, 1999 Madhya, It is quite true to turn one's sadhana into something that is pleasant. When sadhana has become natural, one isn't even aware of it and knowledge arises spontaneously. Having "started" with no choice but surrender of self, what remained in memory of that phase is how it was possible no one noticed the absolute detachment. Not familiar with K., yet everything occurred naturally, like the walking meditations and the relentless concentration on the third eye to overcome the uneasiness of the arousal of the three lower chakras. The lack (of knowledge) of proper diet was automatically overcome by the disappearance of appetite, reducing food intake to a level where waste disposal didn't require much energy. All the time, there wasn't the least sense of doership; all happened as in a continuous flow. It is probably right to say that when one consciously starts with a sadhana, one should turn it into a romance. As I missed identifying with roles in early youth, being the same under all circumstances was far more appealing than relationships and in this sense the spontaneous sadhana was more like "a dream come true".

Guest guest Posted February 27, 1999 Report Share Posted February 27, 1999 Jan; I don't know whether this is precisely what your are describing, but in my case, the time arrived when I no longer thought of Rachel/ Madhya as the doer, either. It's not that I had lost my ego-sense, but that I lost the sense that what was occurring was in any way under my personal control. As surrender continued, the identification with the Mother transpired naturally. Then, of course, as meditations began searching for the unmanifested Source of manifestation, when I stopped listening to inner sounds, or anything at all, I became filled with what for me became my lover, the still serenity of Shiva. On the foundation of both of these qualities of experience, it seemed then natural, some years later, when in meditation, these two seemingly 'different' unions were recognized as One. I laughed at that moment. Seriously. I had been meditating for some time. Was like a rock, with the breath firmly in the center, the place of stillness. I reached the union of time and timeless, of Sensation and Nonsensation, and it was so astonishing that after awhile, I laughed and exclaimed, "My God! It is so simple! I've known it all along. It is me! It is all me!" Intellectually, I had known this all along. I had experienced dissolution of difference on many occasions. But for me, at least, I had not yet reached a level where this experience was 'incorporated', if you will, fully into the 'structure' of my consciousness. I hope that you will forgive me for my occasional awkwardness in describing or characterizing these kinds of experiences. I have stumbled and lurched in the service of the Mother's Voice, always feeling, I can't be qualified to do this alone! I am not good enough, smart enough! I visited teachers, had positive experiences, but somehow felt a jealousy arise when thinking that I might have to surrender the Mother's voice to the voice of another. Now this has changed. There are no more Voices, only doing. Little effort to do any kind of practice occurs. I suppose it has all become 'habitual', if that work applies? It is me doing everything. And I am no longer reticent about giving away the work of my hands and heart to a Teacher, or a tradition. I am concerned to try and find a way to put my waitresses' common knowledge of practicing in everyday life to use. I love Tantra yoga. I love how it is possible to fall in love with How Life Feels, regardless of the nature of what is transpiring. I love seeing silence while walking around the world. I love sitting alone in a cafe after work, and allowing the voice of a crying baby to fill my awareness with nearly erotic pleasure. I love noticing that the day transpires without much awareness of any time. It is fascinating to realize that one doesn't think very many thoughts--they come and go, of course. And I still chant for the love of it. But when mental sensations, like words occur, they are appearing on the background of silent stillness. Jan this is so wonderful. I cannot help, even as I write, but exclaim, God has been so marvelous to me! I still work in a file room making $8.50 an hour, but at least She has transformed life into something immensely pleasurable, no matter what the circumstances. For whatever it is worth, no person named Rachel or Madhya accomplished or accomplishes anything. It is all Grace, the good and the not so good together. Madhya is only a name for Grace.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 1999 Report Share Posted February 27, 1999 Madhya, I love this post. I have read it three times now!! WOW I bow to you. Can you go into more detail on how you came to this awareness? I have been told by teachers that once you glimpse of pure joy it is easy to find again. A year ago I had this wonderful moment when I truly understood and felt the connection we all share. I live in a remote part of Northern California. The roads are windy and remote. I was commuting to and from work on a particularly remote road. Someone had thrown a lot of beer bottles on the road, and the broken glass was strewn across both lanes. I was reading Gandhi at the time, and was trying to connect with everything. I threw a broom in the back of my truck and set out for work early. I meant to sweep up the glass before someone got a flat tire. I did this not so someone would say "oh great job, what a nice thing to do", but to truly stop the glass from damaging any cars, or hurting an animals. Anyway while I was sweeping it up, something wonderful came over me, I could of stayed there all day sweeping up the whole road!!! I felt so connected with life. I felt my actions were starting a cosmic chain reaction.. the next car would not hit the glass in get a flat tire, there for that person would not be effected by the glass.. and in turn effect something else. I felt pure joy in my work and thought "ah ha, I think I am getting it!!" I had a great day, it stayed with me all day and the night. But I have yet to feel that again. Now in writing about it is sounds kinds stupid. But now I feel the need to be in service. This I did get out of it. So it is not so stupid. I do not know how to describe the feeling. I thought of it while reading your post. Thank you for sharing with us.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 1999 Report Share Posted February 27, 1999 Oh how I wish I did. I just remember the event. But the wonderful feeling is not with me. Soon I hope. I know all I can do is work on myself and be ready when it happens again. Right? Thanks for the your thoughts on this.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 1999 Report Share Posted February 27, 1999 Madhya, I can relate rather well to what you said. To me, surrender didn't come from a religious or meditational background; it had become clear that life as I knew it had nothing to offer that was worthwhile. What you refer to as the serenity of Shiva, came to me directly in a kind of flash. This serenity caused me to abandon all thoughts and actions I considered to violate it, to reflect on behavior and becoming an urdhva-reta almost overnight. Grace was something unknown to me but seeing in retrospect is was more than present. Kundalini rising was so swift there was never time to even think what was happening. It meant not falling in the traps like making concepts and practicing siddhis. I didn't even pay attention to the sounds, the ones I remember clearly were the loud hissing in the beginning, the sound of breaking and of course OM. Seeing my entire life in retrospect, there is nothing that could have been left out or "improved"; for instance without the unpleasant youth there would have been conditioning (identifying with a "male role" etc.). The biblical saying "suffering is a redeemer" proved to be true; without it, there wouldn't have been the irrevocable decision to give up self completely. To be able to do that is an act of Grace.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 1999 Report Share Posted February 27, 1999 Jan; I appreciate so much what you have expressed. When we practice so intently, (whatever the form or nature of the spirituality), in relatively isolated conditions, (read big cities, mass transit), we are not always able to hear other person's stories. I am honored to receive your witness of Awakening. Madhya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 1999 Report Share Posted February 28, 1999 Thank you Madhyaji for this inspiration and very practical and helpful tips. Have you thought about a vocation as a spiritual teacher? Harsha madhya nandi wrote: Michael; > How do we cope with the vicissitudes of everyday life? Right on question. We practice.

To discover serenity and wisdom in meditation, one must begin to think of everything that occurs during the day as a preparation to meditation. So, cultivate equanimity. If you like something that someone says or does, accept this. Feel the small glow of pleasure and then just observe it--and let it go. When something unpleasant occurs, do the same. Someone makes an unpleasant or derogatory comment to you--choose to remain neutral. Suspend the need to have a feeling about this person or the comment. Of course, your body will very likely internalize a certain amount of negative energy--tension. When you feel this tension, say, in the pit of your stomach, pay attention to this sensation. All tension is constrictive--emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually. Begin to be aware of what tension feels like--the sensation of tension. Be aware of the sensation of tension. Just be aware. > > This is a process, but not really. The amount of effort one feels as though one is giving only seems like effort before one begins to fall in love with Sadhana. Once one falls in love with Sadhana, there is no longer any effort. This is when Sadhana becomes a romance, when one becomes ripe for spiritual wisdom; when one begins to pray within that the discoveries are so marvelous that one wishes mysteries never to end. > > Three > > To assist one's efforts at calming the mind and emotions, one may cultivate an awareness of the breath. An easy exercise to transform breath is simply to initiate a daily practice of extending the length of the inhale and exhale. Make this a challenge--an athletic endeavor. Count as the breath is drawn, count as the breath is expelled. This is one cycle. Practice to lengthen this cycle. Wonderful secrets await discovery as one literally transforms the pattern of one's daily breathing. In time, the body becomes capable of achieving profound states of relaxation. And when one is deeply relaxed, the 'veil' between the Mother's Voice and the din of one's mind thins. One may begin to receive inspiration regarding one's own practice. Perhaps the Mother will say, try this with your breath. Perhaps, She will point one's attention toward some other important thing that will assist in recognizing one's Self. Much more can be said about the breath, but this is already a lot. > > Four > > Do mantra meditation.

But begin first with negative things. That is the easiest way. Begin with annoying remarks. As a waitress, I had plenty of opportunity to practice this. If I needed extra help remaining neutral in the face of amazing rudeness, I said my mantra. Or breathed through the constrictions.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 1999 Report Share Posted February 28, 1999 Sari; Many means exist to experience the feeling that you desire. From the perspective of tantra, we often look first to the body. Do you have a meditation practice? Quite likely you do. Here is a simple meditation for you. Sit in a chair or in a more traditional meditation posture. Make certain that you will not be disturbed for fifteen or twenty minutes. Set your alarm so you time does not concern you. Once you are comfortable, you will not move again until the alarm sounds. Not your hands, or your face, or your toes. Perhaps you are very experienced and this is already simple for you. Here is the important part. Gather into the space of your heart all of your yearning, all of your passion to find peace, compassion, relief from suffering, the wish to serve those you love, gather all of these feelings into your heart. Gather them...gather them. Bring all of these heartful sensations together and FEEL them gathering into the center of your breast. Grab hold of each feeling, your love for your partner, your wish to grow spiritually, sadness over some misunderstanding that has occurred in your life. Gather these feelings into your breast. Feel the weight of your heart. Spend fifteen or twenty minutes with your attention only on the place where you feel your heart to be. Concentrate, if your mind wavers, bring her back. If you wish to pray, then pray. Let all feelings and passions gather in the center of your chest in the place of your heart. Feel your heart. Spend fifteen minutes just feeling your heart. Allow your heart to surrender. Let your heart open. In the stillness of your meditation, let your heart cry out I Want Peace, I want to love ,I want to give. Say the words in your mind, but more important, feel the words in center of your chest, in your heart. And when your heart is full of feeling of sensation, then at that moment, let everything go...surrender all sensation, all feelings. Give away your heart. Actually imagine that you are plucking you heart from your chest and giving it to God, to Goddess. Feel the sensation of your heart leaving your chest and pouring out into the world. If you like, Sari, try this meditation for a week or two and see what happens. Madhya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
