Namaste my chelas all over the world.
I know that when ever there is an Intensive coming up, the excitement of my chelas all over the world coming Home is so remarkable that every one can feel it in the air.
As the letters pour in saying I am coming Home Ma, my heart becomes so full as I hold out my arms to all of you welcoming you to your Kashi Ashram
Gurupurnama is such a time, a great time to bring my children all together for the celebration and for the Gurupurnama Intensive.
It never fails to live up to everyone’s expectations including my own.
Today I teach Kali Natha Yoga IN OUR TEACHER TRAINING COURSE.
They are a great group and I have gotten to know them so much more and have seen their hearts full as they have learnt from my magnificent teachers who I have taught my self.
I also am teaching the new ones personally.
I can not help but think of this fall when my chelas and students of KALI NATHA YOGA COME HOME FOR THE 10 DAY INTENSIVE AS THEY LIVE ON THE ASHRAM AND COME TO ALL THE DARSHANS.
I will be teaching This Sacred Yoga even more at that time.
Call the office and ask for the dates as calls are coming in already for a place to be taught as they live on our Sacred Kashi Ashram.
I am already excited about this and so are my teachers of this very special yoga which seems to change lives.
Now let us speak of THE KARMIC SPACE OF WORLDLY DESIRES.
One might ask what is wrong in wanting things of the world.
And I answer you loud and clear NOTHING.
Except if you are attached to that Karmic Space and not enjoying the moment of what you have this moment in your life.
This Karmic Space has an atmosphere of unfriendliness.
Unfriendly to you thus making you unfriendly toward others.
You come to this space with an attitude that you should have what ever your friends have.
Actually the good part of this Karmic Space is that you can get to know and understand what drives you in life.
What is taking you from the great feeling of gratitude.
Thinking constantly of what you want flows over in your meditation when you sit.
You can not let go of your WORLDLY THOUGHTS.
When you are in this Space it is hard to feel the emptiness.
This Karmic Space has you acknowledging what you desire almost every moment of your life.
You make it a big deal in your life.
And keeps you from honoring the moment and keeps you from the great moment of acknowledging of being fully alive in the moment of now.
You keep going to war with your thoughts.
The ego says to you YOU NEED THIS, YOU NEED A BIGGER CAR, YOU NEED A BIGGER T.V. YOU NEED, YOU NEED, YOU NEED.
I am not saying you should not have all that the world has to offer you, I am saying that there is a big difference with obsession and want and need.
Living in the moment with the incentive of non procrastination can bring a calmness in your life that did not exist before.
The mind becomes less anxious.
The heart becomes more at peace and you eventually can see what it is you need and how you will be able to obtain it.
Bringing your focus to your breath now, rest your mind as the Shakti flows gentle through you.
Sit up straight and keep your chest open.
Sitting straight keeps your heart open and brings the feeling of being a warrior on the path called life.
The breath is your friend, it allows you to focus and be filled with the moment.
Watching your breath is a sign of being open to what is available to you and will help you to accommodate what ever will happen in your life.
Paying attention to your breath you begin to work with obstacles in your life instead of the obstacles taking you out of the moment.
Do not try to exert power over your breath.
Just watch and notice where you are tense.
Watch your body.
Feel your body and try to know where you are having a hard time in your body and make adjustments in making your self more comfortable.
Be mindful of your breath,
Pay attention to the in breath and the out breath.
Notice how the breath waits to go out after you inhale.
Just watch and be the witness.
As the breath goes out watch how soft you can become as you are more and more aware of any staleness leaving your body.
Be relaxed or try without strain to be relaxed.
This is not about getting rid or stopping any of your thoughts.
Just let them come and do not grasp or hold on to any of your thoughts.
Be gentle with your self as you acknowledge you are thinking, letting them go.
So as you sit or find yourself being in the Karmic Space Of Worldly Desire you do not grasp tightly to the want that possesses you, just acknowledge it and let it go.
When you find your self wandering say the word wandering and come back to the breath.
Sitting as comfortable as you can and be the witness to the breath.
If you are aware that the ego has taken you far away with your thoughts say again and again wandering or it is just a thought.
At times the ego will ask you, in this space more than any other space WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE DOING NOTHING AND WASTING TIME?
Just smile to your self and open to your breath.
As you wander know that you know you are wandering and this is the way to be able to begin to leave this SPACE OF WORLDLY DESIRE.
Once again Awareness is the key out of your misery or pain.
Just being aware is a meditation instruction on how to live and how to die.
Bringing this wisdom into your being or at least acknowledging awareness, you are not thinking as much as other moments that you are creating with your mind.
Say to yourself THINKING, THINKING, remember very gently.
Some times you create the illusion of wanting worldly desires, the most important thing is NEVER JUDGE YOUR SELF.
Do not give the ego the place of such power when you make your thoughts very solid or very much a reality.
Your thoughts are not the nature of reality,
The beating of your heart and the awareness of your heart is reality.
The ego tries to lessen the quality of your life and this brings you an enormous amount of pain.
Watching the breath you begin to lessen the pain of want into the reality of truly knowing what it is you need for yourself and others.
As you are sitting and you realize that your mind has entered into this KARMIC SPACE, I want you realize that the mystic in you can be activated as you allow love in your heart.
And that which you want to find in life will come to you from the place of your heart.
Your Beloved lives there and as you are aware more and more of your breath your Beloved, your God, your Goddess, your own love and your love for humanity begins to take the place in your heart that attracts thoughts and melts them as you lose yourself in love yet always being aware, always being aware.
Watching your breath can not be bared by the ego mind, it can not bear to have you reach such high vibrations from this awareness.
My chelas, it is as simple as watching your breath watching yourself entering the Karmic Spaces or leaving the Karmic Spaces.
When I was taught by my physical teachers not to ask questions only to surrender to those who are teaching me, I began to ask so many questions about every thing.
I was told when I was a young women that I would teach hundreds and hundreds of students and so I had to ask simply because I had to answer those same questions from my students.
My Bina and I had the same teacher at one time and Bina asked just as many questions as I did until she found out that I was Her Guru and then she started to ask me the same questions.
This was an unbelievable time in both or our lives, it was 1971 or 72.
Oh my God I truly had to learn the answers now and so I begged my Baba to Teach me how to Teach.
And He said to me FIRST I WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO LOVE AND THEN TO LIVE AND THEN THERE WILL BE NOTHING THAT YOU CAN NOT TEACH.
Some may ask was it His Spirit that was talking to you was it and is it Swami Nityananda’s and Baba Neem Karoli’s Spirit speaking to you and I can just answer to all of you, I have been given the blessings of seeing and hearing and living always at the Feet Of My Baba holding tight every moment to each toe.
My wisdom comes from my life at His Precious Feet and I have dedicated my life to those same Feet.
My chelas you do not have to be stuffed in any Cubby Holes with hard bars like a prison.
Your hearts are free and filled with love.
All you need to do is listen to your breaths heart of the moment and you will find yourself in the moment of life with great awareness.
When I come in from Darshan My Shody asks me many many questions which of course she soon forgets the answers.
I am in awe of her inquisitive mind and the love in her heart as she truly knows Her place in my life and my heart, and is asking only for her gurubais.
I watch as my close ones want so much for their gurubais and how they give and give.
For this I am grateful.
I am also grateful for THE PUBLISHING COMMITTEE THAT MEETS GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK.
They have opened the flood gates in your Ma that perhaps have been closed for a little while.
They are living the words and are asking the questions that keep me writing.
They are working so very hard with the Guru Mother’s Words.
All these words are flowing out of my heart to all of you my chelas.
I love you with every breath.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at the Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
Ganesha, Ganesha, Ganesha Ganesha, Ganesha,
