Om Ganesha,
Morning Pujas and Prayers
August 1, 2008
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
In silence one can feel Death within and one becomes fearless when under the Teachings of Guru or Teacher.
The stillness is anointed with Divinity.
Stilling the mind with the thought of Death one becomes filled with energy Shakti of the Mother.
Allowing the ego to bring fear to the forefront of your life your mind can not find the stillness to welcome death in life or even life in death.
So many of us have sacrificed the quiet for the listening of the ego mind.
When you are really quiet there is only life and death.
The human mind, the human being is the only species that knows it will die and yet we run from the thought when the thought can do nothing other than empower you.
Saying the words over and over I WILL DIE, I WILL DIE also credits the Higher mind with the words AND I WILL MAKE PREPARATION FOR MY DEATH.
These words brings such loving peace to all who say them.
To understand that within life you are in death’s heart is a way of living in the moment like no other way.
Dying with awareness is a great art that may or may not take a whole life time to understand.
One may think that learning or teaching about death will bring a depressing view and yet on the contrary it is the opposite that is true. There are no real experts on the art of death there is only the Soul of the Guru who has been on the road toward death and in death Herself and like Lord Krishna can say THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US EXCEPT THAT I CAN KNOW ALL OF MY LIFE TIMES AND ALL OF MY DEATHS AND YOU DO NOT.
To so, teaching of death is the great secret revealed or it becomes the great initial uncertainty and yet it is life that is uncertain not death.
And so I continue to welcome death and ironically for those I have taught to do the same they have found a safe haven in the welcome.
A human being likes to tell death to stand to one side and let me live life, i do not want to think of you death and yet there he is always present in so many ways.
Each exhalation is a form of a little death.
Each night we fall asleep it is a form of a little death only to wake to life once again or to inhale and feel life flooding through us.
The wisdom of knowing that we all must die brings such a soft wisdom to your hearts.
I have always had a thousand questions and still do for my Baba, my life my Guruji about Death and I always wait patiently ( or not so patiently ) for His answers. Even to talk of death to my Guru is inevitable to talk about life.
For every horrible death we have witnessed there are always thousands and thousands of sweet entries into the door of deaths home.
Only thoughts can’t die as they were never born and it is the ego mind that gives thoughts the altar of our existence.
Will these words that I write for my chelas lift the veil of the mystery of death?
Will they make life a smoother journey as we all serve in accordance to my Guruji’s Teachings, yes of course is my only answer.
I must thank my Baba and my Swami Nityananda for the light they have shone upon death taking fear from the hearts of my chelas.
Life can become much brighter by the wisdom of death.
When you are in a state of truth that the God of Death truly exists then you are anointed with his holiness of life.
The only truth of life and death is WHAT IS.
It is only in truth that all of duality ends.
Finding happiness in the truth of death brings peace to your heart.
Have you ever seen one thing upon Earth wasted?
I must answer for you, NO NOT REALLY.
Any moment you can discover your timelessness of life and death it is just a matter of trying to be still.
Notice I do not say to absolutely be still, I use the word try.
The Soul is eternal and nothing that time becomes can touch it.
The Soul can not be threatened by life or death as it is as it is always beyond life and beyond death.
Wisdom of the heart begins when you discover that you can ask of your self WHO AM I?
There are no problems in the journey of life into death or death into being born again.
There are only the problems created by the ego mind.
Our Swami Nityananda taught us of discrimination and discrimination with our thoughts in a gentle manner can bring deception to an end.
The living moment is the only truth and the living moment speaks death and both are welcome in the human heart.
This is a blessing that I wish to share with all of you.
I love you my chelas.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Holy Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
