The Path of Meditation: From Action to Inner Peace
20:30 - 21:31
|
From: 17 Feb 2009
Meditation is the path from action to inner peace, divided into active and passive forms. Active meditation is selfless service, or Seva, which purifies consciousness and overcomes negative karma. Human life is given for this purification. Yet, service alone may not answer inner questions. For that, passive meditation is required. This means withdrawing from the external world to be with oneself. It is a technique to understand one's inner world and discover the unseen qualities that disturb others. One must learn humility and acceptance to make spiritual progress and find peace. Human life is precious, with the high aim of self-realization, avoiding the tragedy of dying without it. Different religions describe one God through different relations and names, but truth is one.
"Active meditation has an effect on your consciousness, on your mind, and definitely on your soul. It is a means to come out of negative karma."
"Passive meditation means to withdraw your senses and your thoughts from the external world and, for the time being, be with thyself."

Life is a vast ocean; the goal is to find the right direction and reach the harbor.
The world is an illusion, a dream, and a person clinging to it is like a captain sailing aimlessly. To attain self-knowledge, seek a true guru. Upon finding such a one, fear not in the ocean, for knowledge dries it up and one crosses with dry feet to the harbor. What holds a person is love for the master’s lotus feet; nothing else has value. When the guru shows mercy, all pain vanishes and worldly illusion leaves only true joy and reality. Repeating the sacred name of the incarnation crosses the ocean of ignorance. True devotees bow to the lotus feet; touching the dust of those feet grants liberation. All efforts succeed through receiving grace. Day and night, repeat the sacred name; the guru removes all obstacles. The guru is the supreme bestower, the lord of destiny, the embodiment of the world’s lord, the supreme liberator. With that grace, no karma can harm and māyā loses power. Grace purifies destiny, bringing success and liberation. During meditation, focus on the guru’s form; then fear nothing. The one upon whom grace rests is already on the other side of the ocean. Keep the guru’s image in the heart; then death is only awakening, a new dawn.
“If you receive the grace of Gurudev, then no karma can harm you, and māyā will lose its power over you.”
“Whoever has the form of the guru in their heart need not fear death. He will realize that it is only awakening—a new dawn.”

A Gathering in Grace

From: 10 Mar 2023
It is good to see everything, to understand fully the practices and mantras. This understanding brings greater happiness and allows one to see all spiritual activities clearly.
The mind often works in confusion, attached to worldly things and selfish actions, which leads to suffering. The sincere prayer is to be awakened from this sleep, to be turned toward selflessness and real knowledge, and to become a giver. The gathering itself is a beautiful opportunity, a reason for happiness, with the promise of more to come.
"O Lord, bless me that I do not waste my life."
"Turn me into the lover of selflessness."
