Simplifying The Union With The Spiritual Parent The easiest definition of the word ‘yoga’ is union. When you unite with someone or something, you keep thinking about that someone or something and keep visualizing the same. It is as if you experience a union with the object or the person in your mind. In this way, there is a subtle (non-physical) communication with them which, when you meet, will turn into a form of words (physical communication). We communicate with others mostly through physical means, but we cannot do the same with our spiritual Father and Mother - God, as He does not take a physical form. Our communication or union has to be subtle (non-physical), through the vibrations that we radiate as souls or life energies. There is deeply rooted belief in many – a belief that goes back to many centuries, that this union takes many births of effort to become a master at, but that’s not true, it just takes a little practice and patience. The reason why it may seem difficult, at first, is that our mind tends to be filled with thoughts, feelings and images related to other people, friends, family members with whom we have interacted or will be interacting, our workplace, the past, the future, unnecessary anxieties and many more issues. We need to learn to drop these 'thought conversations' with others and ‘creation of subtle images’ of other people and situations so that we can redirect our mind and vibrations to the Supreme. This also means learning how to make our mind and intellect quiet enough, and as a result, receptive enough, to receive, listen and feel His vibrations and His thoughts, and to experience His subtle presence. Ultimately it is an exchange of the energy of pure love between the soul and its Parent. |

IF WE ARE INTERESTED IN TRUTH /GOD, LET US TAKE A STEP FORWARD AND SEEK A PROOF.
ReplyDeleteMeditation (along with exercise,healthy eating, healthy reading, sports) is a great therapy. It gives mental peace, bliss and improves quality of life.
Meditation can give one a feeling of being close to God. But since no VERIFIABLE knowledge about God is exclusively obtained by meditation, it is safe to say there is no real encounter with the Supreme. (One may compare with ‘Lage Raho Mumnna Bhai’ . Though an example from a film, it is very apt.The hero did not get any knowledge about Bapu that he did not already know.) If in meditation I experience such an encounter I will ask God to give me some indisputable proof (like I can predict 3-4 rare unexpected events in near future accurately) with assurance that this is for my satisfaction and to show the world that God is accessible, not for personal gains.
One may feel one is jyot swaroop, soul etc. These are healthy experiences but need not be necessarily real. By conceding that these are just personal experiences and not necessarily real we admit some different experiences of others by what ever means. This will go a long way in reducing inter-religious rivalry and make the world a better place to live in and please God no end.
