The technique to understand life, to live a harmonious life, the technique to learn this art where the life gets filled with joy is none other than meditation. The value of meditation has increased many folds in this era. Meditation means – when we get completely detached from the external world, we do not have any contact with the external world; the external world is just like a worthless piece for us. However, it is very difficult to reach to such a state in life.
This doesn’t happen because the human has two options before them, there are two thoughts, there are two philosophies – one thought process is generated by the brain and other is the thoughts are generated by his heart.
Lalita had to take rebirth twenty-five times whereas Radha didn’t take a single rebirth. Both were best friends, both were very dear to Krishna. Krishna loved them equally, but what was the reason that Radha got the nirvana in the same life whereas Lalita had to take twenty-five rebirths?
The main reason for this was that Radha’s heart took control over her, her inner consciousness just had one thought that Krishna doesn’t love anyone else; if he loves her then he can’t love anyone else. It might be possible that he remains surrounded by gopis, however it doesn’t bother me. There can’t be hundreds of Radha & the reason for this was her deep love towards Krishna, she was so deep in love that she just used to see Krishna everywhere.
Only I can be Radha & only I will remain Radha and if Krishna loves anyone then that is me only because he can’t love anyone else, this is not possible. Even if someone used to tell Radha otherwise, she used to reply that this is impossible. Krishna can look at other but he can’t love other and the reason for this was that Radha had killed her ego and the killing of this ego is end of brain’s control over your body.
Lalita had ego, even though she was the best friend of Radha, even though she was her childhood friend, even though Lalita accompanied Radha wherever she went yet the brain always had complete control over her. She always used to think that perhaps Krishna loves Radha more than me, he attracts Radha more towards himself when he plays flute. The control of brain never allowed her heart to take over her, Lalita was not able to completely reach into her inner consciousness and she had to take second, third, fourth and in her twenty-Fifth birth she became Meera.
Then her ego finally disappeared and then she said, “Mera to Girdhar Gopal, Dusro na Koi”, meaning there is no one else for me, there is only a single God for me, only one thought, only one philosophy and that is, “Jaake Sir Mora Mukut, Mero Pati Soi”, I don’t know anyone else than Krishna. And then she was able to attain nirvana, then she was able to reach into her inner consciousness and then she was able to finally meditate.
I have intentionally presented this example before you. Intentionally because a man can attain nirvana in a single birth only….and this is possible by means of meditation. If even a single trace of ego remains within oneself, then one needs to take twenty- five rebirths. It is possible that one may get rid of the ego after two rebirths, may be after three births and may be after twenty rebirths.
Radha was able to remove her ego in a single life and was able to attain nirvana; she was able to completely amalgamate herself with Krishna. Where there is ego, there can’t be nirvana, there can’t be Brahma, there can’t be consciousness, there can’t be true joy.
You are all sitting here because of this and when I am going to explain about meditation, the means to reach the state of meditation, then it is utmost important that I should explain you that you are nothing. There should be no ego in your life, when you leave this ego that you are a man, when you get rid of this ego that you are a professor, you are rich, you are poor, I am very dear to my Guru, I am very much away from Guru, I love or do not love the Guru, I am a female or a male. The moment you get rid of all these thoughts, you will climb on the very first step of meditation.
The first step of meditation is the first step to reach within because mind always looks to control outside world; it always creates the thought that pushes a human to look outside only. The moment our heart gets activated; that very moment our connection with the external world starts to break. Then you don’t find any outside thing before you, meditation is the second name of activating your heart. It is necessary to detach oneself from the external world to extend the first step on to path of meditation.
You must understand that there is nothing outside; you must consider your presence to be negligible. When I am in front of you, you should only see me. I know you, not from this life only but from the last twenty-five births you have taken. I know that every time this ego takes control over you.
Every time I warn you, every time I explain you that I will take you to the state of nirvana in this very life and its my guarantee. However, the only clause of this guarantee is to completely get rid of your ego, to completely end your existence. What you look like is immaterial, this life is beyond how you perceive it. To take a birth and then finally get cremated is not life!
Life is an unbroken chain which is tied with many past lives. I am the witness of your last forty-fifty years, I have been with you, I am aware of all your activities, and I have advised you time and again. This is not the first time you are sitting before me. Every time I have advised you to reach totality by means of Sadhanas. Your coming generations will not remember you for what you were; rather for what you achieved in your life.
And to obtain something, you must first lose a lot…you have to lose your external affairs, external looks, external consciousness & external thoughts. And then when you sit with your eyes closed in such a situation, where you don’t move any part of your body then you can move towards the path of meditation.
You are the one sitting here and I am in front of you. This is called Dwait (where there is knowledge of someone else) and mechanism to reach the state of Adwait (where only you exist) is meditation. Dwait because I am sitting in front of you and both of us are supplement of each other. Till the time you don’t amalgamate in me, till the time you don’t reach within your inner consciousness this Dwait will remain as it is. And the mind will say how can this Guru take me to complete totality in life.
Brain will always misguide you that how Guru Ji can guide me to Brahma? It will provoke you what will happen by just closing your eyes? It will delude you that what will happen even if Guru Ji has asked me to sit for half an hour with closed eyes? This Dwait will exist forever, and it will vanish only when you take a big step to jump into the ocean.
Even I had jumped in the ocean without any hesitation, without any thought in my life. Even I had wife, son, daughter, relatives & everyone but I jumped in this ocean and have obtained pearls out it. I have obtained pearls, & I experienced it because I don’t believe in anything that I hear, I speak only what I have experienced in my life.
One who dares to jump into the ocean can fetch pearls out of it, and one who just sits on the shore can’t. One who just keeps on planning to jump into the ocean but doesn’t do it, one who stops after just a step even if the Guru provokes him thinking that he has a wife, son, relatives and what will they think? What will happen?
How will it happen? Such a person can’t jump into the ocean. He takes birth in duality and dies in duality, and it is the worst death that one can get. There is no major difference between the death of a dog and the death of such a person. The only difference is that the dog is thrown into the crematorium and such a person is carried to the crematorium on four shoulders.
The main aim of life is to attain the state of Adwait and this state means there is no difference between you and me. And I am using the word ‘me’ because I am your Guru. If you are a drop then I am your ocean and that drop must dissolve in the ocean, one needs to completely amalgamate in the feet of his Guru.
And I am speaking all this because you must become a seed, and when you will become a seed, then only one day you can take the form of a shady tree. However, this is possible only if the seed is willing to get buried inside the earth. If the seed says that I don’t want to get buried in the earth, then the seed can’t get transformed into a tree. And if it surrenders itself to the earth then certainly it will germinate and later it can become a shady tree under which thousands of persons can come and sit.
Even I was a seed once, I got buried in the earth, I left my existence, I didn’t even think that I am a Brahman, my father is a rich man, I have a wife, son, I didn’t even think what will happen in the future? I just had one thought that I must burry myself within the earth…. I buried myself in the earth and I am a shady tree now under which thousands of disciples can rest now. They come & take rest, enjoy the shade.
Where there is day, night will follow. A coin has two faces, it is not possible that where there is happiness, happiness will exist forever, it is not possible. Misery will follow the happiness. However, bliss is always followed by bliss. Bliss is never followed by death, tensions can’t follow, hurdles can’t follow………….and all this is possible by the means of meditation only.
I have not called you here to make you coward in front of the Gods & Goddesses; or to fold your hands in front of them. I am explaining you that how you can get rid of this cycle of birth & death within this life. I am explaining you that it is not advisable to take births again because every time you take birth, you don’t even know where you are going to take the birth.
Sometimes you take birth in good surroundings & sometimes in worst. You take birth in excreta and then you grow-up and then with a lot of pains I hold your hands again. Then you start to gain some consciousness and then I explain you this is not the correct way to live your life. Then I explain you how you can get rid of all this by the means of meditation.
Then for a moment a surge gets generated in you & it simultaneously gets subdued. This wealth, majesty, husband-wife surrounds you again and you forget yourself and this is an act of your brain. You can’t reach to the stage of meditation until you get rid of this brain, this ego.
You need to put conscious efforts to reach to the stage of meditation because this is the only means to attain nirvana. Now when I take you towards the path of meditation, towards immortality, then you have to detach yourself from the external world, you need to feel that no one is in close proximity to you, you are not tied to anyone, and you are free of all the ties and are floating without any constraints in the ocean.
One can become Divine by practicing meditation, one can become God by means of meditation. I am trying to explain you that you don’t have to look forward to Gods for their help, you don’t have to bow before them, you don’t have to chant their mantras, you don’t have to stand before them like a dwarf. I am not saying that you stand smaller than the Gods. I am narrating the words of the great Rishi who said
Poornamadah Poornamidam
Poornaatpoornmadachyate.
Poornasya Poornamaadaaya
Poornmevaavashishyate.
“I am complete and want to amalgamate in the completeness”…..and I am explaining you that you are complete. All of you are standing before me to attain completeness. What is important is to stand at the point from where you have to jump. The moment you jump you will reach into the ocean and the ocean is waiting eagerly for you with its arms open wide to hug you and to amalgamate you within because I am always with you.
When there is a thunderstorm, I am with you in its noise, I am there with you when the cuckoo sings, my smile is present in the blooming rose. When you look anywhere, I am behind that thought. When you will get fully immersed in me, you will be left with only one thought that you must become complete in your life.
Now the question that arises is where to get immersed?
I am standing before you with my both arms opened. I am reminding you that you are a drop of water and your entity is no more than that. Your life is like a drop of water that fells on a hot pan and the drop evaporates in a fraction of seconds. In this way you won’t be able to achieve totality in life and such life holds no value and doesn’t have any aim.
If you want to attain true joy in life, you will have to learn the way to amalgamate yourself, you will have to learn the way to immerse your soul into that of your Guru, you will have to completely forget yourself and when you find such alive Guru in your life….those people are fortunate who attain an alive Guru in the life.
There are several dynasties that didn’t get Guru in their life. They got fraud Gurus, fraud saints, those who had the intention to plunder them but none who can guide them onto to the correct path in life, none who has been there with them for past several lives…such fortune happens once in a blue moon. Guru may come any time in front of you in your life & then there are two possibilities. First is that you cross the Guru & move ahead in life and the second is that Guru proceeds on his path & crosses you. If you are conscious, then you will stick to your Guru’s feet and live your life as per his will.
Above is an extract from the preachings of SadGurudev that showcases the importance of SadGuru in life and why it is absolutely necessary to assimilate the Guru in oneself. Provided below is Guru Praana Dharana Sadhana using which the disciple can attach his soul with Guru and can get amalgamated within Him. The disciples must perform this sadhana on the birthday day of Gurudev, 21st April. If however due to some reason you can’t perform this sadhana on this day, the procedure can be performed on 21st of any month.
Sadhana Procedure:
