Devoted beings/seekers,
I send my blessings and good wishes to all of you on the auspicious
occasion of Guru Purnima. We offer our heartfelt salutations to the
Satguru for guiding us on the path that will uplift our lives.
May we as disciples follow the teachings and expand our understanding
as we go through life.
In Secret of the Siddhas, Baba says: "When the sun rises, all the
stars fade away in its brilliance. Similarly, when the sun of knowledge
rises in the heart and a person experiences the essence of the Self,
the universe of diversity with its countless beings and objects is
dissolved for him. Duality perishes. The radiant sun of the Self blazes
in his eyes. Its flame radiates through every pore of his body.
As it flashes, his entire body is filled with the nectar of love.
Drops of nectar from the stream of love flow from his eyes. His words
shower love. His speech is never an arrow, which pierces others' hearts
with bitter, cruel, or filthy words. The wisdom of the Siddhas is
sweet."
In order to understand the sweetness of the Siddhas wisdom, we must
do our sadhana regularly in a dedicated manner. We simply have to
let go of our limited concepts and expand the mind to the depths of
our inner being/consciousness. We must learn to be content within
ourselves and appreciate all that which comes in our life.
As we imbibe the teachings and make them a part of our daily life,
illumination of the esoteric meanings automatically happen. We must
simply contemplate and put into action the principles of the Guru's
teachings. We are only limited by our own mind.
The Guru and the teachings constantly present us with situations to
grow. Let us be strong and put forth the effort to continuously expand
our awareness as we go along.
I am forever grateful to Baba for making life interesting. He told
us to view it as a play of consciousness. There never seems to be
a dull moment. The shakti keeps propelling us further, until we see
it all as nothing but as a play. There is nothing to do or become,
simply be, at the same time performing necessary actions, offering
them to God/Guru.
Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah!
I offer my salutations to Shri Guru!
Your own,
Mahamandaleshwar Swami Nityananda
