Om Ganesha, August 29, 1999 Morning Pujas and Prayers.
Namaste my chelas, When the ego is melted down by the Atman, one can feel a great release. The grossness of the world becomes one with the subtle. When all is merged with the one, there is the mystic Shakti movement of bliss.
Bliss can not be found in the end or beginning of the search. Bliss comes someplace in the living moment of the middle.
At times happiness and sorrow are based on illusion. If one looks for happiness in the objects of the world they are creating for themselves a worldly out look that may or may not last them the whole of their life.
The Mother Saraswati is the Goddess of knowledge, She will lead you, if asked to the Eighth chakra a little over the head.
If you start at your base of the spine, invoking Ganesha, he will lead you into the arms of the Mother Kundalini up the Sushumana and over the head to the eighth chakra and here you will hear the sound of the Mother Saraswati’s Vina. All your life times are recorded in this chakra and that is why the chidakash is so close to the eighth chakra. This place of total detachment, is indeed the place where bliss can be felt. How can one be attached to anything when all your lifetimes karma is before you in a feeling deep with in your chest and over the head.
The Mother Saraswati, teaches you to talk and communicate from this place of detachment. The detachment of the Mother drips down into the place of the throat.
This chakra is sometimes called the chakra of the seekers responsibilities. Here you become responsible for all you put into words and sound. This is why a mantra is so important, if your mind is filled with one of your mantras how can your throat be filled with venom. When you turn to your breath and follow your breath in and out, you have begun to focus and you see a lot clearer. In this place of observation ask the Mother Saraswati to bring to your throat and tongue the smoothness of love.. The Mother Saraswati is the Mother of speech. The Mother Kali is the slayer of the ego. Do you not want at this moment to ask Mother Kali to slay your ego so your speech is that of Mother Saraswati????????????? There is so much joy waiting for each of you when you understand that words of unkindness should not be spoken or even thought.
Focus on all the chakras one by one and rise to the eighth chakra over the head. Breathing in and out of each chakra feel the breath feed you and free you. Start coming down to the place of the heart breathing in and out of all chakras. Remain in your heart this day as you say words with the essence of the both Mothers in your heart. As I teach you like this I am reminded of my own Guru teaching me the essence of right speech and to never make any one small in ones eyes.
Only when kindness is there, living in the heart of the chelas is bliss to be found.
It is not easy to have a Guru, or a spiritual teacher. Swami would say, If this one speaks to you, will you heed my words!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know how scary that is. I was so curious about everything in those days, ( still am ) that I took the chance of asking many questions and I had to heed His words.
So much joy came from heeding his words. And, yes there was sorrow also. Yet it is said in the Chidakasha that pain given by Shiva is no pain at all.
Do not look for pleasure coming from the world. Take pleasure in the words of the Guru. She takes bliss and pleasure from the words of Her own Guruji. Are you not all seeking happiness and joy. If you say no, then why are you reading these words. There is no greater joy than the joy of God and Guru.
It all starts when you are in your heart and then rise to the throat and speak words of kindness to all. The blessings of the Mother Saraswati and the Mother Kali will be heaped upon you.
True kindness destroys selfish desires.
Be absorbed my children in meditation on the heart and throat this day. In Her Wisdom, She will walk with you all this day.
These are my pujas and these are my prayers. I love you all so very much. Love Ma Jai Kashi Ki Jai Jai Saraswati Ma Ki Jai Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai Jai Baba Ki Jai
