Om Ganesha,
Afternoon Pujas and Prayers
June 17, 2008
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Every moment is perfection in simplicity.
Every moment when lived in the now brings one to the joy of an open heart.
In the chaos of a human mind the ego dwells like a dark substance ready to pounce on individual happiness which reaches out to the world.
In the KARMIC SPACE OF SELF THOUGHT /SELF INDULGENCE one finds themselves filled with thoughts that they think they can not stop.
This brings one into the space of rage.
Thus there is a slow moving feeling of self pity and the thoughts of righteousness.
This Karmic Space can be used to renew and revive and come into the positive aspects of any of the Karmic Spaces.
One of the ways a person stays in this space with out even realizing that they are stuck is they can not perceive the beauty of being calm.
Truly they perceive that calmness is sadness.
If one stands back for a moment they will know how the ego can destroy itself by one becoming aware of Self Indulgence.
Happiness avoids the way of the ego yet awareness can erase the bars on the prison of Self Indulgence.
Nothing is more powerful than the idea that love is the key to rid one self of the EGO OF SELF THOUGHT AND SELF INDULGENCE.
You may ask why is it different than self love?
In self love one is made aware of their own beauty and happiness with out any negativity toward themselves and toward others.
Being caught in the space of SELF THOUGHT one begins thinking that chaos is the way of life.
The word that stops one from going deeper into the darkness is simply STOP.
Yes the word stop can influence your inner warrior and it becomes alive and bright.
Then one faces the entrance from which one has come into this space and awareness of their own fears brings them slowly out of it into the flow in life which is the now.
Facing ones own fear is the way out of any of the Karmic Spaces Of Darkness Into The Light Of The Mother.
Looking back into our lives does not take one out of the moment.
It brings one more into the moment by seeing clearly ones mistakes and the greatest mistake is to think that The Ego Of Self Thought is your own thoughts.
Once again you have choice in your thinking.
Saying NOT NOW in a gentle caring way can bring one understanding of what thoughts of the Higher Mind consists of .
This is being mindful.
Just going where the ego mind sends you is a form of laziness.
To sit in Meditation and watch the beauty of your breath coming in and out like a cool summer breeze is to understand the way of the ego if you say once the breath comes in NOT NOW gently and when the breath goes out, NOT NOW gently.
Doing this for 11 full breaths perhaps starting off with five full breaths, one fools the ego thought process and begins to emerge thier own beautiful self.
This breath also splits the tension that the ego brings.
One of the positive aspect of the Karmic Space is that one becomes aware of the tension and then learns to relax.
If you tighten your muscles right this second like isometrics just hold every thing tight even your breath, your legs, your arms your buttocks your chest and hold it like this for the count of seven and then just let go with a deep out breath you find that you are in a space of relaxation.
One can not be seduced into THE EGO OF SELF THOUGHT SELF INDULGENCE when in a relaxed body or a relaxed state of mind.
Ask yourself HOW DO I SEE THE WORLD I LIVE IN.
Ask this over and over.
Notice how your breath moves easily when you ask this HOW DO I SEE THE WORLD I LIVE IN.
The Karmic Space of Self Indulgence can only be filled with more and more light as you question your existence in the moment.
Karmic Spaces are not completely negative in fact if one learns that they are in them then they can be quite positive and you can learn to love what is in the moment.
In other words if you find yourself filled with rage this is a good thing simply because you know it and are aware of it and can do something with it instead of allowing the ego to go on and on toward a complete state of trying to get revenge.
If you can see the Light in your life even for a split second then you can see the darkness as temporary and that which will soon be Light from your awareness.
You can help yourself make the Light a more permanent moment in your life once you become aware of the 11 Karmic Spaces.
This moment fill your heart chakra with love.
( think of anything that will bring you love for instance I think of my Baba and I am full )
Fill your heart chakra deeply having your chest rise.
Then hold love for the count of five.
Then let the love flow out like a flame in the dark.
Let it flow first from your belly and then from your chest, contracting the belly hold it out and say to yourself I AM THE FLAME OF LOVE.
Then breathe love in deeply and do the same thing as before.
This will stop the ego mind in a gentle and kind way.
These breathing spiritual exercises can be done for a little while when you do not have time and increase them when you do.
Say you are living your life and you find your self having a pity party and becoming more and more self indulgent, try to breathe in deeply where ever you are and let the breath come out like a flame in the darkness.
This you can do any where and no one will notice except your ego.
You have the power to stop yourself from going into this Karmic Space if you so choose.
It is called Karmic Spaces because they have you going around and around with out self thought of where you are.
This becomes SELF KARMA
Doing something over and over and feeling worse every time you do it, is because you do not have awareness.
Knowing of the Karmic Spaces can bring a great warmth to your heart like going into a dark room and opening the drapes letting the sun come in and seeing plants and flowers and beautiful paintings that make you feel at ease.
You can close the drapes again if you listen to your ego tell you that things are falsely bright and it will not last.
Yet you will know even when the sun goes down, you have the power to light the candle in your heart and see everything in a different yet wonderful light.
It is all about the positive aspect of lighting your Karmic Spaces with the fire of love.
When ever you feel your self being a slave to your thoughts just breathe in and breathe out the flame.
It does not leave your heart cold, remember where the flame came from is a great fire of the Light of the Mother.
I love you my chelas with all my heart and Soul
You all light my life as the Fire of my Baba’s Soul keeps me warm and allows me to teach and share His wisdom and love.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma
Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
