Morning Pujas and Prayers
August 23, 2008
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Entering the innate stillness can turn out to be a pleasant surprise.
There is no tension in the atmosphere of the Essential Self.
No words are needed, no thoughts are required, only the love of the Self.
The Soul fills out with the love of the Universe.
One arrives Here by practice.
By watching the breath.
By meditation.
By looking toward the mystery of the closeness of one with the Beloved.
I know for many of you whom I am not your Guru, you can not understand the Word Beloved.
Your Beloved can be any one or any thing that keeps your heart open.
We of this Guru Lineage turn to our Guru as our Beloved yet always know that our Guru ENCOMPASSES all ways and all Forms.
For instance at times my Baba to me is Lord Krishna and I can certainly feel the love that Radha has for Krishna.
Or at times He is Lord Shiva and one always feels strong knowing that their Beloved is Mahadev.
There are also times that the Guru is the many Forms of the Goddesses.
One only needs to breathe into their hearts and ask for their Beloved.
When the Karmic Spaces calls you and you are able to picture between your brows your own Beloved then one is armed with more strength.
If you are in love with your religion then your Beloved is your Religion.
I am in love with my Baba with all my heart.
Yet I am also in love with all of His Many Forms one being our Mother Kashi.
I am in love with all of my chelas with all of my heart. Every one of you take up every minute of my day and night.
The pull of being a resident is so strong that I can feel my chelas waiting and wanting to be so.
To walk upon Her Soil and feel the land where their Beloved lives and breathes is so soothing to the Soul.
This day see where your mind takes you when you are the observer.
Learning to identify the thoughts that associate with our moods is a good start to finding your way out of the Karmic Spaces or even the thoughts that prevent you from going into the fog of the Cubby Holes.
Notice what thoughts increase your energy and those that bring you into a listless state of mind.
Record any thought that bring shifts in moods.
To capture your main thoughts be quite observant of the first five minutes of each day, being careful to write them down.
You will notice that it is these thoughts that guide you through out the day.
Do not ruminate.
Catch your self if your ego mind is going deeper and deeper into negativity.
I am watching and listening , always watching and always listening.
When your morning thoughts continue to appear you are already armed with your observance to say to your self IT IS JUST A THOUGHT, OR THINKING.
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE ENTERING A CUBBY HOLE?
The first sign is a tightness around the chest.
Literally this is something you feel because of the boundaries of the Karmic Space.
Observe how you feel then release your mind.
Just say to yourself or if you are alone out loud, I REALIZE THESE THOUGHTS OR I RELEASE THIS THOUGHT.
You will be surprised what you are capable to uncover.
The ego tries to take you into a permanent dark place of thoughts about your self.
The Guru tells you that you are much lighter than any darkness the ego can take you to.
There is an important difference between uncovering thoughts and just letting them go to ruin the moment.
Try now as you have already read a lot of your Guru Mother’s Words.
See how hard it is to be led into the darkness of the ego mind when the fresh love of your Guru is upon you.
When ever you become preoccupied with the implications of dark thoughts they will have a dark impact of your moment.
By saying over and over, MY BELOVED LOVES ME, MY BELOVED LOVES ME YOU ARE COUNTER ACTING DARK THOUGHTS AND REPLACING THEM WITH THE POSITIVE SURE LOVE OF YOUR GURU.
The Gods and Goddesses are beyond all thoughts of near and far beyond past and the future.
The spirit of love that is in us all is THE NOW AND YOU ARE IN THE NOW AS YOU READ THESE WORDS.
I love you my chelas.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
