Om Ganesha,
Afternoon Pujas and Prayers from our Sacred Kashi Ashram
March 5, 2009
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
In your next meditation, do it on the breath.
Simply be a witness to the breath coming in and out.
Do not try to make the breath do anything, just follow it.
You may even lose yourself in your breath and that is fine.
The Mother is always in your breath.
Summon your shakti of will and determination to sit as a witness.
You do not have to do if for a long time.
Perhaps five minutes or so.
It is entirely up to you to create the time.
Yet if you say to your inner self that you will do it for five minutes then make sure you do it for that amount of time.
You will be surprised how good it will feel.
Just by making an effort to meditate you are pushing the ego to the background where it has no power at all.
Through meditation you refine the consciousness of the heart.
After sitting for five minutes begin to breathe deeply into the heart and out the top of the head for five breaths.
Then just sit quietly.
Let the moment be.
Give up any perceptions of what your meditations should be.
You see the Mother is not limited and so all your perceptions can do is to limit you.
So many of your desires like attachment to always being right come from past karmas.
Allow the breath to take the anxiety of always being right.
This will allow you to live in the moment.
Remember my chelas I am always there on the breath and in your heart.
The Mother is always watching and always will.
As you do this simple meditation you will be surprised how aware you can become.
It starts with being aware of your breath on a conscious level.
Then before you even realize it you are becoming aware on an unconscious level.
You become a person who is open to the moment.
Open to the moment, this is what you learn in meditation, by simply watching your breath.
Stilling the mind by meditation can take you out of yesterday’s deeds and thoughts and bring you into your essential self.
The Mother teaches you to rise above the dance of duality and be in the oneness of non duality.
This is the natural state of being with the Mother in the moment and not trying to understand it.
This is surrendering to yourself and the Goddess with in.
We are on our way to see our Arlo in concert.
I love seeing him perform.
Yes even after so many years, I still think he is the best of the best.
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
