Om Ganesha,
Afternoon Pujas and Prayers
Sept. 18, 2008
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
To understand that Death is simply a part of life can bring great joy into your day to day living.
Gently with awareness this moment allow your whole body relax.
Get a comfortable sense of your balance.
Feel how Mother Earth is holding you and everything around you.
Mother Earth does not abandon the soul at the time of departing life.
Be aware of your breath.
Look around you open, yourself to your surroundings.
Enjoy the colors, the light where ever you are.
If you can look up and see the arrangements of the clouds watch them in wonder.
Notice the play of the way life is around you.
Look at life with the curious eyes of a young child.
Be aware of your breath.
Enjoy the feel of your breath.
Feel the presence of the Mother with you.
Feel Her Texture.
Be aware of the breath.
The sound and feel of your breath moving in and out.
Feel your connection to the ground.
Feel the steady support to the way the earth keeps you.
Now feel deeply inside of you.
Feel how you are nourished by the sensations of going inward.
Feel that you are all spirit.
A great spirit of love.
See how your senses seem to flourish as you focus inside of you.
See how aware you become with the spirit of life and death with in.
Feel the sweetness of being calm as the breath eases away any tension.
All of your senses are opening.
Awaken the spirit with in.
Feel that you are one with the sun.
Looking with in, feel free.
Taste life, taste death.
Notice you are not afraid.
Notice you are enjoying your meditation.
Come into the cave of understanding.
This cave is in all of us.
All the ancient wisdom of life and death is with in you.
You only need to be still even for a short while.
A minute, a second, however long or short.
The stillness can bring you life changing experiences.
The mere fact that you can be quiet alleviates tension.
With out stress or the at least the lessening of stress, it is easier to find your spirit which truly is your Essential Self.
The spirit is non violent.
To start your spiritual life is to start your quest to understand Death.
Following your heart day after day melts away the ego’s stress that the ego sends you.
Being still can have you understanding your own intuition.
Intuition is part of life and part of death.
All of life is a journey toward Death.
A return to yourself.
Every mystic knows that the true journey is inward.
Self understanding brings you a non fear of death.
Death is what you are before you were.
Death is the total fulfillment of life.
DEATH HAS A HEART.
This is a certainty born of experience of life.
Life is a preparation for a wise death.
Death with out fear.
There is a tremendous fire of love with in us all for the Mother.
The Mother is with you all through life and will certainly not abandon you in death.
Her love for you is the beginning.
And this beginning never ends when we are naught but spirit.
The Mother’s love for you has existed way before you searched for Her.
This is the wonder of Death.
It is simple and a wonderful thought to live for.
The wonder of Death.
When you long for The Mother She hears you and makes you understand that She has always looked after you in life and will also do so in death.
Under the veil of life is the understanding of Death.
When you live with the Guru you burn with a longing for God and Goddess.
And yet you know with in you that they are always there.
Kashi, my Sacred Kashi brings life and understanding to Death.
To always swim in the Ganga one learns to fear nothing.
The great secret of the Universe is that you and the Divine Mother are one in life or death.
It seems that one lives with out a thought of death for most of their life until death draws near.
Then one turns to the God of Death for answers to life.
If the young could understand death then they would not shun the elderly.
They would eagerly want to learn from them.
Meditating on death is to make a break from the tensions of life.
One begins to realize that pettiness or a lack of kindness has imprisoned them.
The simplicity of truth can not be recognized with out going deep into your own spirit.
This is the path beyond the ordinary mind.
This is the path of the heart.
To be on Kashi is to be on the path of the heart’s spirit.
The raw shakti of the Mother flows through the heart.
The heart receives it with great gratitude.
To have gratitude is to know the gentleness of the Soul.
To understand even slightly the heart of the Soul is to not fear life or death.
This Divine heart is the simple wisdom which we all possess.
We are all part of The Mother Goddess who seeks to understand ourselves and become wholly the Mother of the Universe.
This is the Spirit of love.
This is the spirit of life and death.
This is a priceless gift that we all have and yet many have not yet become aware of yet.
Breathe Breathe my chelas and learn to enjoy the breath.
I will teach you the place of the Non Breath.
I already have started and you already have begun to learn.
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at the Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
