In this thought for the day Swami calls people embodiments of love and the reason for it is not that all realized beings, but that potentially there is only love if there is only one and that one alone exists, there can be only love, but we have to get to the right conclusion.
Embodiments of Love! There is no need to search for God anywhere, says the Bible.
He is telling us to not search for God, also not as Christians as we are used to the concept of duality and we think God is in heaven and far away really.
We are it, there is no need to search for it, but we need to get to the right understanding of it and we should always be aware that we are able to get also to a wrong conclusion when we are in the mind.
Today people are in search of God. Why do you search for Him when He is everywhere? You are God.
That is the basic message and we don't look for God in heaven anymore, but he is in our own self. The question is still there how we get aware of it and how do we know and get the experience of it?
If he is present in the here and now, how do we get the experience and the answer is love, but we cannot just feel love if there is no love and by writing the focus is not on the feeling, but it is nevertheless there behind somewhere in the motivation is love and we mostly experience it with others.
All spiritual practices (sadhana) will go in vain if you do not know your true identity. Instead of asking others, “Who are you?” it is better to ask yourself, “Who am I?”
He doesn't tell us that we should not do spiritual practices, he is telling us that it is in vain if we don't know our true identity. That means first we should ask about our true identity. What is our true identity? It is light, love and beauty, the higher self.
There was a vision of the higher self a long time ago and it was a gap between the higher self and the body. With the body and body identification all the problems we know come up, but in reality the true identity is just love.
Who am I?
If I remember the vision of it it was in the dream stage as Swami said he is the man coming in our dreams to awaken, so in that light it was him, but it was nevertheless in the dream. We know after that vision who we are, we are light, love and beauty.
He was love and light and beauty and the 'I am that' as a response of meditation in Darshan, but how do we get it in the dream stage?
Maharishi said once, if we are attacked by a tiger in the dream stage we cannot shoot it with a gun of the waking state, we have to use a dream gun.
“This is my book”, we say. Then who is this “I”? This feeling of “my” is illusion (maya). Know who you are. All this is matter, it is negative.
In that sentence he talks not only about our wrong identification with the body, but he also is telling us that matter it is negative. If we have the light on one side and the absolute as spirit as positive, we have darkness as negative at the other side and that is relative and matter.
If we look at concentration, contemplation and meditation, we have concentration always on the level of matter, we focus on something if it is a thought, no matter what it is, a mantra or light, it is still a thought and matter and only when we transcend it we are beyond it and it is always non-conceptual pure being only, no time and no space and not matter, but pure being or consciousness and contemplation is in between and every word Swami tells is on that line in between.
There is always one side and another side and we have to get aware of the right side and we have to go for the light and there is as well matter and he is telling us that it is negative. With that information he tells us at the same time that the spirit is positive. If matter is negative, the material world is negative, the other side of it is positive and that is the spiritual world.
Therefore, Veda deals with that, it is purely positive, the Vedic society and all those stories is about positive energy in the aim to help us to identify with the immortal realm of life and to live in positive feelings and positive energy.
If we find our own solution in the mind and we collect whatever that is, it is still not positive. If the mind is due to wrong identification with matter it is also negative and we cannot with something negative go into something positive. We have to fight with positivity the negative.
You are the master of this material world. Master the mind and be a mastermind. Make every effort to know your true identity.
If we are the master of the material world we are beyond it, no person can master it if we are in it. The higher self is the master and beyond the body and beyond the mind.
To know this, you should first give up body attachment. People are heroes in doing experiments in the laboratory, but zeroes in experience. Instead, be heroes in the practical field.
That is not a compliment.
He is telling us that we should give up body attachment as it is dragging down, it makes us stay on the material level.
If we find our own stories and we don't listen to Swami, we are in the mind and we find mind solutions and that are about everybody in the West, singing devotional songs alone is not enough and the rest is wrong understood. Most of all the study circles. It seems that we hear the word circle and associate it with just going around and not the being state of it, the eternal wholness in a circle. We just go in the circle and don't interrupt that is how we see a circle in the mind and it is never questioned as a mind concept, but it is wrong understood and therefore, it is not practiced the right way.
It is understood on the mind level as circle and just functional and not as the spiritual truth of a circle, not as the eternal and non-changing truth alway the same in itself imperishable and divine wisdom and what we know as the flow of nectar.
It can only be in touch with truth and in Swami's words and not our poor attempt to share or being patient listening to experiences, if we don't have his words in it and find that one thing that is always not changing, we are in the mind and it is about oneness and he is the answer and if that is not there, there is no right conclusion and it is not a circle.
The misunderstandings are connected to body attachment.
We should go beyon the body and he expects it to come from the inside and to be spontaneous and he is telling us here, people are good in the experiments in the laboratory and that is science.
In the West science is the A and O, we believe much more in science than we believe in the divine and when we talk about God, we will get in troubles, when we talk about science it will always be accepted and considered okay and it seems to be true, that is why science has the respect in the West and not God.
In the West if we talk about giving up body attachment, we should tell as well that we need to change our thinking and our believes and everything else what is connected to body attachment.
That means we don't have self-experience, we build our life on the experiments in the laboratory and nobody asks the question, 'who am I?'
That is not a compliment, it is telling us that we don't do it right. We should be heroes in the practical field, but we don't know how.
To know this, you should first give up body attachment. People are heroes in doing experiments in the laboratory, but zeroes in experience. Instead, be heroes in the practical field.
Nothing changes because we don't know how. If the practical field is negative as it related to matter, how do we get to the positive energy in taking about spiritual matters?
With meditation we sat together and meditated in the purpose to create positive energy or to purify the mind and consciousness. It had a positive effect on the world consciousness.
If we don't know how to keep the divine energy pure and on a high level, we don't know how and it is still only the mind and not a positive experience.
How do we in a study circle create positive energy if everything we do in our own mind is negative and based on matter?
We listen to his words, we use his words, we dive deep into his wisdom in the purpose to get the right conclusion and when we do that, we see how people lighten up.
He takes all that burden away of the wrong messages people give because they think they can find the right solution in their own minds.
It was like some time ago in a satsang, but not that again!
What was that man thinking when he said at that satsang in front of all the people present only some days ago, 'we try now to make a homepage based on human values and we put him in the background.' How often have we heard that already and it is tried again and again and tt doesn't work and it cannot work.
We cannot put him in the background, we have to listen to the divine nectar. We have to listen to the words that is detachment of the form and when the divine nectar is there all lighten up and we don't try to make a homepage and put some values in front and him in the back, we put him in front and we listen to him.
I always put a picture, his presence is uplifting and it improves the quality of it. What they think they get away from the body is also wrong understood. We should get rid of our own body attachment and listen to his words.
He was not attached to the body.
If people are not listening to his words or not able to listen and they don't know the nectar in those words, there is no positive energy, already that attitude of putting him in the back is negative and it doesn't understand it right.
The divine nectar in his words is positive energy and only devotional singing is not enough, if we don't listen to his words, the singing alone is not enough to keep the energy on a different and positive level. In that satsang not long ago it was again the same feeling, the same conclusion, 'nothing has changed'.
We try to do it differently but it is still in the mind and it is still doing something and not just listening, it seems like the same mistakes are repeated on and on and we still didn't learn to listen to the divine message and it means no awarness that in his words is the positive divine nectar that can change the energy.
It is still all based on doing something instead of listening.
Try to make a homepage instead of listening. We shouldn't focus on make a homepage, we listen to his words that is the purpose of the homepage, the listening, the message is the purpose and not the homepage.
It is all in the mind and not beyond the mind and there seems to be a common wrong conclusion, we try something and think it is new when it is always based on the same false concept, we think it is new, but it is always the same mind conclusion only and that will never work out. The mind is negative, based on the mind and on body attachment and we don't get rid of it in not looking at his pictures, but in listening to the positive, divine message in his words.
With other words we have to make the divine nectar flow to be positive, everything else is negative no matter what we are trying to do.
The study circle can only be positive if we get to the divine message in his words, if we get to a mind conclusion together in sharing some experiences, we are not a study circle, we are just half a circle.
He has to be there and give the answer, he is pure positivity and divine nectar.
