Om Ganesha,
Morning Pujas and Prayers,
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
What if you considered life a form of divine pilgrimage..
When you carry too much on your pilgrimage you will feel a heavy burden has befallen you.
When you carry what you need you become lighter and lighter.
You become heavy in burden and poor in spirit when what you carry is only things you do not need or that which your ego tells you to.
The ego will have you preoccupied with thoughts of each thing you are carrying instead of the steps you are taking on your journey
This does not only make the ego the keeper of your mind, you are giving over the strength of the body too.
So in this moment think of three things you would not bring on your pilgrimage that you are planning to take with you.
Truly think this out for it is not a game, it is a big part of life and perhaps doing this little exercise you can find that it can be included right before you leave what you are offering to take out.
For instance lets look how light we would be with out guilt.
Lay all guilt down now.
My God the bundle is heavy.
Touch your heart with your right hand and say GUILT I LEAVE YOU AND YOU CAN NOT FOLLOW ME.
You begin to feel lighter and lighter.
Then think of another that you would take with you perhaps something that you never thought you could leave behind.
How about anger.
Just take anger out of you in the pre pilgrimage exercise.
Wow it is almost as if you can fly.
What else shall we leave as we follow the Guru for our Pilgrimage.
How about the harshness of speech.
Watching what we speak of can save a lot of hurt to the people around you.
So lets leave this bundle of hurt behind.
Now we are ready for our pilgrimage.
We begin by saying our Mantra as we sit comfortably.
If you do not have one then just say your Guru’s Name over and over .
As you go on with saying of your mantra you find that guilt is disappearing yet you did not bring guilt on this journey of ours.
So the saying of your Mantra just takes you deeper and deeper being you already left guilt behind.
Now keep sitting and doing mantra repeating mantra and riding on the potency of the mantra.
This can happen for you have not brought anger with you and it feels wonderful, to go deeper and deeper on the power of your Beloved’s name.
Now let us see, keep saying your Mantra or singing your mantra or repeating it to your self.
You can not even begin to use your fifth chakra your throughout chakra to say words that will hurt another.
You have left words that would hurt way behind and the mantra is going through you like a soft breeze on a hot summer day, it feels wonderful, magical and spiritual.
You will find at this point that you are pulled to say your Mantra over and over and being you have left the bundles of guilt, anger, and saying words that hurt others behind you then you soon will be entering into the lightness of bliss.
Sit as long as you want to in a space of lightness, I am right with you my chela.
There is always an unconscious potency of the mantra that stays with you no matter what you are doing.
I love you my chelas, please please please know this.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma KI Jai.
Always at the Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
He whom I left every thing behind for and took only love.
My Beloved Our Baba Neem Karoli Ki Jai
