Sahaja is where meditation becomes our way of life.

The post SAHAJA: BEING NATURAL first appeared on Truth Consciousness.

]]> Sahaja, which means “natural living,” is the cure for all the ails of modern life. This is not primitive living but natural living, which makes us conscious. When we are conscious we overcome our negative tendencies, to free ourselves from karma, through control of mind, breath and in meditation. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna, “It is better to do imperfectly what is your real duty rather than to do perfectly what is not your duty.” Sahaja allows us to manifest our God-given potential so that we exhaust our karmas and move toward true freedom: Liberation. Being natural makes us wise, not through scholarship or philosophy but through insight, a higher faculty than intellect. Sahaja or Natural Meditation is when meditation becomes a way of life rather than a technique to practice or achieve. “Judge ye not” is a great aphorism that has often been misunderstood.  By not judging we allow the mind to settle, to come back home, to find true peace, to reach the chamber of God.

“We educate our minds to do things but we do not educate ourselves to be wise. Wisdom and light are within us. If you could be childlike, simple and innocent, that is being natural.”   Swami Amar Jyoti

Forgiveness and humility are purifying. As soon as you genuinely forgive someone, you will relax that very next moment. Loving detachment is both wise and practical.

The post JUDGMENT, FORGIVENESS AND LOVE first appeared on Truth Consciousness.

]]> In any testing situation where you feel confused and do not know what to do, be humble. The solution will come. When you are relaxed and humble, wisdom opens within you automatically. Only the truly wise can judge. Others should desist from judging and giving decisions. It is very difficult for us to judge who is religious and who is not, unless we know who we truly are. At the most we can share and try to be helpful. That is humility. Until we are perfect, we should be humble.

In order to transcend blocks, avoid resistances, escape pitfalls, and not get caught in ego trips, we need to be humble. It is only this golden virtue that gives us the inner latent power to transcend. In order to be one, we have to accept our position, our level of consciousness, where we stand and where we belong. This realistic approach is called humility. If you realize this and do not claim or demand or assume something higher or lower, you are humble. Humility eventually leads to Realization. It is humility that makes you strong, not pride.

Forgiveness is not a weakness. Only the bold can forgive. There is a scientific explanation for forgiveness. Supposing that you are stubbornly holding on to something and not forgiving. As long as you are occupied with revenge, retaliation, reaction, jealousy, competition, or simply non-forgiving, that means your mind is occupied with baser thoughts. By forgiving you renounce those thoughts, which means you are being purified. Any good that you do for others is for your own purification. Therefore, as soon as you genuinely forgive someone, you will be relaxed that very next moment. You will feel peace.

If we could just be humane, the world would be transformed. How many truly human beings have you seen? Leave aside philosophy, just be a true man and have common sense—you will have achieved a lot. And you can only have common sense when you are relaxed. We need to come back every time to our own self. Do I see myself, what I am doing, what my mind is? Am I learning from my experiences or just repeating them? Am I controlling myself and not doing what hurts me and others? Loving detachment is both wise and practical. If you are conscious you will see wisely. You have to learn to live without hurting and without hatred. Then love will fill your heart and reach to others, and it will give you comfort.

The post ANGELS, DEVAS, SHINING BEINGS first appeared on Truth Consciousness.

]]> We have to be open and humble to get communication and help from the angels. When they know that you are harmless, that you are acting according to God’s will, they will come and help you, otherwise not.

According to the Vedas, angels are called devas, in Sanskrit: “shining beings.” The masculine term is deva; the feminine is devi. Devas certainly help mankind but that is not their only purpose. We know that an angel brought good tidings to Mary. There are also many stories in the epics of India in which devas and devis come to give news or to help humanity. They are beautiful and happy beings. They live on our vibrational essence, actually. Therefore Vedic yagnas or fire rituals were performed to consciously send this essence to the devas. Therefore angels are eager to help us because part of their sustenance is dependent upon us, though they have their own ethereal soul.

When the Prophets, sages and enlightened beings come on earth, angels help a lot during their lifetimes. If you had clairvoyance, your third eye open, you could see hosts of angels or devas and devis around the Prophets and enlightened beings, helping in their work. Many times when a Son of God is coming or has come, in heaven they decide, ‘Let’s go with Him.’

Swami Amar Jyoti
