Om Ganesha,
Morning Pujas and Prayers
Sept. 5, 2009
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Soon I am coming Home to our precious Ashram.
The different moments on the Ashram completes each of us in many different ways.
The force of the wanting mind, (the ego mind) tries to take the moment of bliss and have it disappear like it was never there at all.
When you do this and make a habit of it then the moment brings you a new kind of peace.
Notice the moods of restlessness.
When do they come to you.
Look inside of you and try to make yourself peaceful by paying attention to the breath
Do not try too hard.
Let the easiness come to you.
This is like a moment when you can soften your breath.
Notice the sounds of the present moment.
As you feel the natural rhythm of the presence, acknowledge the feeling bringing it to a moment to change if need be.
Notice when thoughts arise.
Say to your self, IT IS JUST A THOUGHT.
When the waves of the moment become quite strong, notice the feeling of strength.
Ask of yourself, can I use this feeling?
Acknowledge it and bow to it.
Being aware of it.
Acknowledge the feelings in the body.
Gently name them.
Meet the thoughts with awareness.
After the thoughts dissolve come back to the breath.
Perhaps this all happened in a few minutes.
Perhaps longer.
Some times people say to me Ma I am lost in thoughts so much of the time.
Notice the thoughts and then return to the breath.
Be very simple.
You can name the moment any thing you want to.
Do not be afraid of every thing you think of.
If you label them you can begin to soften them.
Like remembering, or sweetness or even bitterness.
Watch this very moment.
Can you find some compassion or even some love in your thoughts.
Now you are opening to the music of life.
You can use the awareness to meet the moment.
On our Blessed Ashram you can learn to see and understand the moment.
Or just let it pass by saying IT IS JUST A THOUGHT.
Now this is awareness,
and awareness is the open gates to all that you love and all who love you.
Cultivate the quality of compassion, love and the thought of happiness
Thoughts can be a learning experience.
Just like love.
Notice where you are this moment.
It is a different moment than before.
Now you are learning the art of spiritual life.
It is all about loving awareness.
The noon day sun, or the evening stars.
Just notice, be aware and know that the Mother loves you.
Notice this every moment of every day.
I love you my chelas.
Love Ma
