Do not consider prayer and meditation (japam and dhyanam) as the pastime of 'freaks, geeks and cracks'. Hold fast to them, for they alone can save you from ruin. Offer to the Lord, not flowers got in exchange for a few coins or rupees from the shop, but the fragrant flowers of your own virtues.
Let tears of joy be the holy water with which you seek to wash the feet of the Lord. Consider the Lord you adore, be it Hanuman or Krishna or Jesus, as comprising of all forms of Divinity. Do not argue that other forms are less and your form is greater. Be aware that every form of Divine is equally sweet.
Tonight he was in my dream and said, 'I am the one' and that felt kind of amazing.
If I get aware constantly in my own meditation that 'I am God', what opens our mind and gets us in touch with the higher self, I also get aware that I am not the body and not the mind. And it is very sweet and amazing, also it reflects in the outside and therefore, if I am that, 'you are that' as well and it means, 'we are that' and from the 'we' it expands in our consciousness to all, 'all are that'.
That was meant by that inner confirmation of, 'I am the One'.
The movement is actually from 'Thou art That', (Tat Tvam Asi) to 'I am That', it is the mirror in which we recognize our own self and realize that we are the same. It creates the awareness that we are two, 'we are that' and from that our consciousness expands to 'all are that' and as it seems to, 'I am the One'.
As Baba tells us here, meditation is not a pastime for freaks, but we should hold on fast to it, because it can save us from ruin.
What gets us there? It is the flower of our own virtues.
We have to go on no matter what obstacles will be there and see it in our own life and use discrimination. How do we put that in practice, what is discrimination?
If we observe we get aware in the observer that everything is outside or just passing by, there is no real value in it. After observing for a while, what I did many years ago, I needed something positive just to keep the right focus and there was nothing else but God that seemed positive. That is how I began to remember God, just to feel good, to be in the right focus, to have the right support or to go in the right direction.
It was kind of difficult to go on no matter what obstacles were there, without a right focus, it needed something stable, something not changing and something always good and positive, we could somehow trust in and finally he was there present in the inner view as beautiful white light and only love.
It means to think about 'God' was discrimination, because everything else was 'not that' and not stable enough and always changing and not related to the higher self, just passing by.
To get to real values, all that what really matters in our life, I had to think about God.
Finally, after all, it transformed into inner view and it was present in the observer, but there was a gap between the light body and the sleeping body and one body was dark and the other was light and in the gap was a blue ribbon and it said 'self'.
That self level has with Baba's guidance expanded to a divine level and now it said.
'I am the One'.
It means we all are God and there is nothing else but 'that', we just have to realize it.
It is not that difficult to realize, just keep the focus on the real self, on the non changing value, on all what is connected to the higher self and what is different from the mind and the body.
We have to use discrimination and see it in our own life.
If we meditate with the mantra 'Soham', we use discrimination, as Baba said, it tells us non-stop in the breath, 'I am God' or 'I am Shiva' or 'I am that'.
That is discrimination, because it is different from everything else just passing by and that is how we put it in our own life, in thinking always about God and 'I am that', it is different from everything around us just passing by.
It is the core in our own life and the part which is not changing, it is related to our own higher self and it is our real happiness.
If we have the right focus we don't get lost in the outer circumstances and even if we seem to be a small boat, it gets us over the sea.
That is how we get closer to the meaning of 'Tat tvam Asi' or 'Thou Art That', we have to experience it in our own life.
And how do we to it?
That is just the point, we have to apply discrimination and be able to see it in our own life, in the now, in the present, and that makes us able to go on no matter what obstacles will be there.
We don't need to go anywhere to realize the higher self, nothing is closer to us than our own self.
We have to just turn inside and to listen to our own heart.
That is what Baba tells us in his message, just think about God and get aware that God is present in our own heart and he has to be always present and like that we can realize our oneness, there is not difference on that level.
It doesn't matter what form and what name, in the heart He is omnipresent and for all the same and there is only One.
It is as Baba said, first is I and you and that means 'we' and that is 'He', it is the first part of it and the second part is from 'we', the realization that it is 'He' and from the 'He' it goes to 'I'.
The level of, 'I am the One' is melting the expanded oneness with the 'I' and that shows that our own source and the 'I' is nobody else but 'He', unity in multiversity.
