Guest guest Posted August 19, 2000 Report Share Posted August 19, 2000 James Bean jamesbean On Traveling Through the Heavens via Meditation SHABD (HYMN, MYSTICAL POEM) OF SWAMI JI MAHARAJ FROM "SAR BACHAN RADHASWAMI POETRY," VOLUME TWO: Reverse the outward and downward flow of the senses, and collect them within. Withdraw your mind and elevate it to the inner spiritual Sky. Apply the Ear of your Soul to the inner Sound, ascend to the Thousand-Petaled Lotus, and fix your Attention at the higher regions. Kindle the Flame and then behold the Light amidst the Tinkling of Bells. Rise to Banknal [Crooked Tunnel] and reach the Formless Realm [Nirguna Pad]. Behold the Undecaying in the mirror. Ascend to the Dark Void. Be at Rest. The Sound of the Whirlpool Cave comes to my ears. I get a vision of Sat Purush [God-with-Form] within me. Hearing Sounds beyond I reach the Invisible and Inaccessible Realms. I behold Radhaswami [Radhasoami, The Lord of the Soul, God]. He now dwells in my eyes. I offer prayer at the Holy Feet of Guru. I am delighted on receiving His grace and mercy. I engender love and faith in Him. How can I describe His glory? I offer my body, mind and head to Him. I take His protection, and sing His praises. I cannot describe these Secrets to everyone. The tongue cannot do justice to His glory. I am in bliss and joy every moment. I now am in communion with Radhaswami [Radhasoami]. _______________________________ Swami Ji: "Reverse the outward and downward flow of the senses, and collect them within. Withdraw your mind and elevate it to the inner spiritual sky." What a great description of the meditation process! During meditation we close our eyes & ears and withdraw or invert; our awareness shifts to the world inside/within. We discover the energy of our soul that once was divided, scattered, and dissipated by the five senses, now starts to collect at a single laser-like point of Attention, what Masters call "the Single Eye," the "Third Eye Center." As we develop our ability to concentrate during meditation, the world of Inner Space starts to open up for us. Swami Ji: "Apply the Ear of your Soul to the inner Sound, ascend to the Thousand-Petaled Lotus, and fix your attention at the higher regions." This is the unique message of the Masters about what can happen to us during meditation! Meditation in Sant Mat is not limited to the physical or astral planes, counting one's breath for fifty years, is never stagnant or limited, and is not an impenetrable spiritual "glass ceiling." Rather, it is an ongoing journey of spiritual progress through the inner Worlds of Love, Light and Sound. Swami Ji taught that by focusing all our Attention upon the inner Sound, we will experience being pulled up or elevated in consciousness to higher regions or heavens. The mystical poetry of Swami Ji describes many spiritual experiences and higher planes that the Soul can mystically ascend to (and through) during contemplative meditation (Surat Shabda Yoga): 'the Flame,' 'Light amidst the tinkling of Bells,' 'Thousand-Petaled Lotus,' 'inner Sky,' 'Crooked Tunnel,' 'Whirlpool Cave,' 'Dark Void,' 'Sat Purush' (God), the 'Invisible,' 'Inaccessible Realm,' 'Formless Realm -- Anami Radhaswami' [The Nameless One, Radhasoami, The Lord of all Souls, the Most High God]. In the Teaching of the Saints are descriptions of many, many Heavenly Realms, and the Light & Sound Current: the River of Spirit (Audible Life Stream, Positive Power) which the soul travels upon. The Goal of the Path of the Masters is to return to God. God has been described by the Masters as the Infinite, Nameless Ocean of Love and Compassion. This River of Light and Sound empties into the Ocean of All-Consciousness, or as one poet-mystic puts it: "More than this cannot be told, for the Holy Streams will take you to that Place where words are no more..............." Swami Ji: "I cannot describe these Secrets to everyone. The tongue cannot do justice to His glory. I am in bliss and joy every moment. I now am in communion with Radhaswami [Radhasoami]." Repeat God's Name and Meditate, James _________________ To get your own FREE ZDNet Onebox - FREE voicemail, email, and fax, all in one place - sign up today at http://www.zdnetonebox.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
