Monthly Chitra Pada Puja to Gurudeva

Aum Namah Sivaya Everyone, the monks worshiped Gurudeva on this auspicious day of Chitra nakshatra. Our pujaris were Sadhakas Jayanatha and Dayanatha.

From Gurudeva\

s "Merging with Siva"...\"Each meditation that we hold is more profound than the last, and the spiritual being, the soul body, begins to merge with the physical body, as the elements of the instinct and the elements of the intellect that have been supreme life after life after life begin to give up and transmute their energies into the immortal body of the soul.\"'

\"We say, \"I am sick,\" and in the English language that means my body is sick, or I am aware of this body not being in a perfect state of health. The mystic knows he is not this body. He can even remember dropping off the body many, many different times, getting new bodies through the process of reincarnation. We are not what we are aware of.\"

\"After Self Realization, awareness has a new home. It does not re late to the external mind anymore in the same way. It relates to the Self God, Para§iva, as home base and flows out into the various layers of the mind, and in again.\"

\"Occasionally, in deep meditation we see the head filled with an intense light, and we know that that is the natural state of man. This is superconsciousness.\"

\"Occasionally, when you close your eyes in meditation, you may see the face of your guru or some divine being that possibly once lived on Earth, and now just the shell of his subtle body remains vibrating in the ethers. You see superconscious beings while in the superconscious area of the mind.\"

\"Here are the ingredients: attention, concentration, meditation, contemplation, samadhi. Willpower is the fuel. It does not take time.\"

\"You can\

t get that which you have. It\'s there. You have to give up the consciousness of the television, the money, the clothes, the people that you know, the personality that you thought you were, the physical body. You have to go into the elements of the physical body, into the elements of that, and into the energy of that, and into the vast inner space of that, and into the core of that, and into the that of that, and into the that of that, and finally you realize that you have realized the Self. And you\'ve lost something. You lost your goal of Self Realization. And you come back in to the fullness of everything, and you are no longer looking, and you are no longer asking, and you are no longer wanting. You just are. When you get tired of the external area of the mind that you are flowing through, you simply dive in again.\" Thank You Gurudeva.'
